Chapter 269 The Second Fund
There is no need to walk sideways.
But she is really interested in microcomputers!
The country is still at the stage of attaching importance to basic research and independent research. Even if many technologies start from imitation, the goal is to thoroughly understand them, and then further improve them on this basis to hold the core technologies in our own hands.
This process is very slow and not only takes a long time, but also requires patience and perseverance.
It's not easy to stick to it.
Especially after a decade of repression, people have begun to rebound and pursue spiritual freedom, material freedom, and all kinds of freedom and enjoyment.
Fields like scientific research, which require patience and the ability to endure loneliness, have instead entered a trough.
Therefore, after the reform and opening up, technology could be introduced, and some difficult independent research was interrupted. Technology had to rely on introduction. On the surface, it seemed to be developing rapidly, but the foundation was not so stable.
If we can make breakthroughs in science and technology now and build up sufficient national confidence in scientific research, then reform and opening up will become more of an equal exchange of materials and mutual sharing of what we have. We will do less "quick success and instant benefits" and continue to attach importance to independent research and innovation because it can bring practical benefits.
Xie Yun smiled and said, "I'll answer your questions one by one. Regarding automotive technology training, we were also thinking about this issue before coming here. We are currently working on compiling relevant teaching materials and plan to train a group of engineers first, who will then provide training to other factories in need."
However, since you've raised this question, we can discuss specific training methods. We provide after-sales service. I can assure you that I've fully participated in the research and development of every technology we've developed, and I'm ready to address any issues.
In addition, there are two young people who can also conduct independent training. One is Comrade Li Zhixin, a sent-down youth who worked in the countryside with us, and the other is my younger brother. Although he is young, he is quite talented in scientific research.
“Are you writing textbooks?”
"Yes, it's a textbook for frontline engineers and technicians. And it's not just about automobiles; it covers all aspects of mechanical engineering."
"What makes you think of this?"
"It's due to practical work needs. Although we are a research institute, we have never been divorced from reality. We have always maintained contact and cooperation with various factories in Eastern Province.
For example, at the Rencheng Tractor Factory, we helped improve the tractor engine. It was during this process that we came up with the idea of developing an automobile engine.
Later, we helped the Dong Province Automobile Factory improve its heavy-duty truck engines. Both factories sent engineers to us for training. The people from the automobile factory are still with us.
We anticipated that the new car would soon go into production, and that various problems would inevitably arise in practice. Therefore, in order to be prepared, we needed to provide training to our engineers and technicians to ensure they thoroughly grasped the new technology.
Old Liu praised, "Great, great! You've thought it through very carefully. Are you planning to publish this textbook?"
"Yes, I will contact the publisher once the writing is almost done."
"Don't worry about such trivial matters. I'll have my secretary contact the publishing house for you. Once your textbooks are ready, come to me. I'll help you with the publishing."
"Thank you very much," Xie Yun said with a smile. "Speaking of which, we may have frequent dealings with the First Ministry of Machine Building in the future. We are currently researching new machine tool technology, and our progress is quite fast."
Lao Liu said, "Then you should apply to the Ministry now and write a report on your current research progress. The Ministry will then approve some funding for you."
Xie Yun thought for a moment and said, "We were commissioned by the Second Machine Tool Factory of Eastern Province for this research. I wonder if we can still apply to the Ministry for it."
"Is that so?"
"We borrowed the machine tools from the Second Machine Factory, and the reward was to improve their products."
Lao Liu: "...You're borrowing the machine tools to produce cars, right?"
"Yes."
Lao Liu thought for a moment and said, "You can apply. Once the new machine tool is developed, it will be commissioned to your Second Machine Factory for production. In the future, if there are other models, we will entrust them to the Ministry for commissioning."
"Okay. Then I'll go back and write the application. Let's discuss the content of our next research and write it all in the application." Xie Yun said, "Let me answer your second question. Regarding microcomputer research, we are very interested in participating. I will also go back and discuss this with everyone. If you are sure you want to participate, I will come back. I have detailed records of the research conducted by our institute since its establishment. These materials are readily available. When you apply, I will bring them along."
Old Liu smiled and nodded, then continued, "Regarding the automotive training, how about this: the Ministry will take the lead, with the Automobile Bureau responsible for the specifics. Comrade Li Dongshan will also be involved as the executive unit. Once we finalize the specific time, location, and participants, we'll notify you. You don't have to worry about the early preparations, so we can minimize your time."
"Then thank you. I do have a lot of chores to do, and I'm a bit overwhelmed."
"Besides cars and machine tools, what else are you busy with now?"
"There are so many. We research whatever the country needs. If you have any research projects, just come to us. We have talented people from all walks of life and fields, all eager to contribute to the country."
Old Liu sighed deeply, "If everyone were like you, with both ideas and abilities, the country would prosper!"
Xie Yun said, "That would require the support of leaders like you and Minister Zhao who have discerning eyes."
Zhao Pengfei hurriedly said, "Xiao Xie, since you've come to the capital and we've met, if you have anything in the future, just come to me. I'll definitely help if I can."
Finally, his name was called and he was given a chance to speak.
He just sat here and thought about it. In 1972, Qushui County broke the big news about high-yield grain varieties. At that time, the Poor and Lower-Middle Peasants Research Institute had already come to the fore. From this point of view, Xiao Xie and the others should not mind being in the spotlight. Maybe he was overthinking it.
Xie Yun said, "Okay, when I really need you, I will definitely contact you. I won't be polite to you."
Lao Liu said, "That's right. Our fundamental goals are the same."
Xie Yun stayed in the capital for two days, and when he returned to Taoyuan Commune, he brought back another sum of funds, 100,000 yuan from the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry.
In addition, they only need to write another research application and the Ministry of First Machine Building will approve another sum of money for them.
