Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 224 The Rise of the Electronics Industry and Yang Ning's Acceptance of Gifts (Subscription Request)

With Yang Ning's design drawings, the equipment Ms. Lin needed was soon produced.

"The frequency of this high-frequency furnace has reached 6,500 kilohertz, which can fully melt the silicon material. Not only that, but this high-frequency furnace has abandoned the closed design of its older brother and adopted an open-door design. This solves the purity problem of silicon single crystals."

"Besides, the straightening part uses CNC technology, so the quality of silicon single crystals can be guaranteed to be stable."

In the Semiconductor Research Institute, listening to Yang Ning's explanation, Ms. Lin touched the equipment with joy, as if she was caressing the tender cheek of her child.

After listening to Yang Ning's introduction to the performance of these devices, Ms. Lin's smile became even brighter.

"How about it, is there anything else that needs to be modified?"

"No, these devices are already very good, better than the ones I used in Eagle Sauce!"

Perhaps it was because the pressure during this period was too great. Now that we saw the dawn of our independent production of silicon single crystals, the pressure accumulated during this period was instantly released. As Ms. Lin spoke, her eyes suddenly turned red.

This happened very suddenly to Yang Ning, and he was at a loss for a moment.

But fortunately, it only lasted for a moment, and Ms. Lin laughed again: "Sorry, I made you laugh."

With qualified equipment, the Semiconductor Research Institute lived up to expectations. In just half a month, they pulled out our first silicon single crystal with a purity of 6 nines.

The purity reaches 6 nines, which is the standard for qualified silicon single crystals, but it is still a little short of meeting the production requirements of transistors.

Yang Ning has learned from Ms. Lin that if he wants to produce transistors that can be used in computers, the purity of silicon single crystals must reach 7 nines or even higher.

But Yang Ning was not disappointed after hearing the news. Although the transistors made from these silicon single crystals could not meet the requirements of computers, they were sufficient for use in other electronic products.

Today, our electronic products are still based mainly on vacuum tube technology, but in the West, electronic products have begun to use transistors to replace outdated vacuum tubes.

Big Brother, on the other hand, does not attach importance to this industry, and Western electronic products find it difficult to enter the market of Big Brother because of camp issues.

Therefore, Yang Ning thinks that we should now vigorously develop the electronics industry. Once our electronics industry develops, it will not only allow us to earn a lot of foreign exchange from the Big Brother camp, but more importantly, the electronics industry is a labor-intensive industry.

As long as these educated young people can have something to do, Yang Ning feels that our future development will be more stable.

Industries such as transistor radios, televisions, washing machines, etc., even if we cannot use them now, we can still use them to earn foreign exchange!
"Hiss~" When Director Nie saw the design drawings and industrial plans of the electronic products sent by Yang Ning, even though he was used to the world, he couldn't help but take a breath.

“We need to produce so many products at once. Isn’t that a bit too big a step?”

"We don't need to build a factory right away. We can try to produce a batch of samples first and have the people in the foreign trade department take them out to see if there is a market for them."

"If these products are popular, we can build a factory to produce them, so we don't have to worry about wasting resources."

Yang Ning knew that these products would definitely be popular with Big Brother.

After all, this kind of technology is not taken seriously by Big Brother, so the performance of Big Brother’s current electronic home appliances is really hard to describe.

However, Big Brother, because he was competing with the Eagle Sauce for face, treated the lower class people very well. And it was difficult for Western products to enter Big Brother's market, which resulted in Big Brother's money not being able to buy good things, and could only buy the industrial waste produced by Big Brother itself.

Even so, Big Brother's home appliances and electronic products are still in short supply.

As long as we produce home appliances that can rival those in the West, there will be no problem with sales. Big Brother is even hoping that we will increase our investment in this area.

This will not only solve their supply and demand contradiction in this area, but also allow us to focus more on this.

As expected, when the staff of the Foreign Trade Department took the electronic home appliances we produced for a tour around the Big Brother camp, it caused a huge sensation.

Electronic home appliances that are smaller and of better quality than vacuum tube products have been warmly welcomed by countries in the same camp.

Even in our big brother country, their leaders praised our achievements in this regard and hoped that we could provide more and better electronic home appliances to our brother countries.

The promotion personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Trade had not yet returned to China, but the sensation caused by the electronic home appliances they brought with them had already spread back to the country.

Seeing that these electronic home appliances are so popular outside, what else can we say? Just tighten our belts and do it!
It's about making money, not shameful!
As a result, electronic appliance factories were established in densely populated areas such as North China and Central Plains, and a large number of junior and senior high school graduates and unemployed urban youth entered these factories.

Not only that, because we had previously obtained their large-scale hydraulic technology from World War II in Hans.

On this basis, we also built our own large-scale engineering machinery factory, which led to the development of a large number of our infrastructure projects. The first generation of infrastructure maniacs began to show their true colors, and a large number of unemployed people also embarked on the road of infrastructure construction.

In addition, due to the rapid development in other fields, our current education level obviously cannot keep up with the development needs of industrial technology, so a certain county or city in Hubei Province is also calm during this period.

"Yang Ning, where did these come from?"

Hu Yinghong asked in confusion as she watched Yang Ning and his men moving large and small boxes of things into the house.

"Hey, these were sent by the manufacturer of these things. I was going to refuse them, but Director Nie said that this was also a token of their kindness. Refusing would hurt the workers' face, so I had no choice but to take them back."

In fact, none of the factories below knew who designed these things, and they were all sent to the central authority.

This situation has left many people confused. Who is so bold as to send gifts here?
After finding out the whole story, the leader said directly: "This is also a token of appreciation from the workers. We will just act as postmen and deliver these things to that young comrade on behalf of the workers."

It was only with the approval of his leader that Yang Ning dared to bring these things back.

"What are these things?" After learning that these things were approved by the leader, Hu Yinghong patted the box and asked.

"Haven't you always envied Mr. Qian's washing machine, refrigerator and other things in his home? These are all, and there are also some other electronic home appliances." Yang Ning said proudly.

As for why Hu Yinghong did not envy the TV that Mr. Qian's family brought back from Eagle Sauce, it was because we did not have our own TV station yet, and the TV was just a decoration.

However, with the start of production of our own TV factory, it is said that our first TV station will be established next year.

"Virtue!" Hu Yinghong couldn't help but glared at Yang Ning when she saw his arrogant look, and then asked Yang Ning and the staff to put these things in pleasing places in the house.
