Chapter 276 New Developments
This training lasted for more than ten days, and I could only give everyone a general idea. It was impossible to expect them to fully understand it all at once.
Li Dongshan was very generous and invited everyone to go to his automobile factory to study and practice, and then go back after learning something.
Everyone was very moved and immediately applied to their respective factories to go to Rencheng Automobile Factory for training.
Xie Yun thought Li Dongshan was cunning, poaching all the senior engineers in a flash. They were supposed to be learning, so why wouldn't they help out? This technology couldn't be kept secret; it had to be shared, and naturally, he had to find some benefits for himself.
When Xie Yun and Xie Shen returned to Qushui, Li Dongshan also brought his men back to Rencheng. Li Zhixin also went back with him, and he was responsible for guiding the entire process.
Li Zhixin grumbled, unwillingly. Li Dongshan asked him, "If you don't come back with me, do you want Binbin and Mumu to come back with me?"
Li Zhixin immediately shut up. Sister Binbin's work couldn't be delayed; she was irreplaceable. Mumu was still young, only 16 years old. How could he be forced to suffer in a factory? He should focus on his studies.
Xie Yun comforted him halfheartedly: "Work hard, get the factory back on track as soon as possible, teach everyone a lesson, and then you can come back. Mumu and I will come to see you when we have time."
Li Zhixin's eyes lit up and he urged, "You must come. It's very convenient for you to drive."
Xie Yun: "I was just saying it, why did you take it so seriously?"
"Hey! You!"
"What's wrong with me? I'm such a real person. I don't even want to deceive you with white lies."
"You just lied to me!"
"That's not cheating, that's just being polite."
Li Zhixin: “…”
Xie Shen patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Junior brother, call me if you have anything."
Li Zhixin: “…”

After returning to Taoyuan Commune, Xie Yun just caught up with the finishing work of the high-precision CNC machine tools, which can be said to be a complete success.
Zheng Yuehua said, "I'll work with you to finish this machine tool. Next, you all will work with me to focus on researching integrated circuits. This is really important."
Zheng Shuhua said, "I know. You've said it a hundred times."
In order to study large-scale integrated circuits, she and Lao Zhao temporarily gave up going to the military region to do research.
The main reason is that Zheng Yuehua is too talkative. Every day, like a monk chanting sutras, he tirelessly explains to everyone the importance of large-scale integrated circuit research, saying things like "it involves many technical fields of various disciplines such as computers, semiconductors, precision instruments, chemicals, materials, metallurgy, etc." and "the level of a country's integrated circuit circuit design and manufacturing technology is a reflection of the country's comprehensive national strength."
In order to shut him up, Zheng Shuhua and Zhao Yingjie decided to stay.
Xie Yun also supports this. Military research is important, but integrated circuits are also really important.
During this period, based on the information provided by Zheng Yuehua, Xie Yun contacted various people and found several teams that were researching integrated circuits, chip manufacturing, and lithography machines, and learned about their latest research. People nowadays are selfless and do not hide anything. After confirming Xie Yun's identity, they shared the research progress with her.
Xie Yun heard that these research teams also took the initiative to contact integrated circuit factories, provide training to the factories, and transfer the research results to these factories free of charge.
Zheng Yuehua comprehensively analyzed the research situation and compared it with the information he had received from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building on foreign countries. He concluded: "In terms of theoretical research alone, we are not a few years behind. However, considering the overall level of industry, we are still quite far behind in industrialization."
Xie Yun expressed his full agreement with this analytical conclusion.
To be honest, she was still a little shocked.
She only knew that she would be held back in the future, but now she realizes that theoretical research is not far behind. In 1965, the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed the Model 65 contact lithography machine. In the 1970s, the Academy began developing computer-assisted photolithography mask technology.
However, when it comes to production, there's a significant gap. To put it bluntly, we lack production lines. That's why, after the reform and opening up, all industries in China imported production lines directly from abroad to achieve large-scale production.
Zheng Yuehua is in overall charge of integrated circuit research. He divides people into several small teams based on their specialties. Some teams study higher-purity chemicals and qualified photoresists, while Zheng Shuhua leads a group of people to study precision instruments that meet production conditions.
Xie Yun was in charge of computing, and everyone knew she had exceptional computing power, with speeds comparable to the best computers currently available in China. Therefore, when Zheng Yuehua was working on analog and circuit design, Xie Yun would help with the calculations.
Although the computing speed of the computers we developed is not inferior to those developed abroad, the number is really limited, either one or two. The Eastern Provincial Academy of Sciences does not have the financial resources to get one.
We can only rely on manual labor.
Xie Yun was doing both in parallel. On the one hand, he used his brain to do calculations, which was also a kind of exercise and test for the brain. On the other hand, he used the computer in the space to do simulation calculations. Even though it was not a supercomputer, it was much faster than the fastest computer nowadays.
In addition, Xie Yun also joined Zheng Shuhua's team to engage in research on production lines.

In October, the machine tool research was completed.
Xie Yun called the First Ministry of Machine Building and asked them to send someone over for inspection. At the same time, she also contacted Li Dongshan and asked him to invite someone from the machine tool factory over.
Once a product is developed, it must be put into production, otherwise all the research will be in vain.
Just like the first CNC machine tool we developed, it was simply placed there as a mascot, a symbol of national scientific research prowess. When foreign guests came, leaders would take them on tour, and staff would demonstrate how to operate it. But there was no follow-up, no further optimization or maturity, and no entry into production.
This is true for a lot of our research.
It's really a pity.
Of course, this is also related to the backward overall industrial level.
The First Ministry of Machine Building quickly sent experts over, and the leaders and engineers of the Second Machine Plant arrived even faster.
Yan Qingquan, the director of the Second Machine Tool Factory of Dong Province and Li Dongshan's old friend, was very excited when he received Li Dongshan's call. Although he did not hold much hope at the beginning and just simply wanted to support his poor and lower-middle peasant brothers, things were different later. From the moment the car was manufactured, his hopes were high and he looked forward to it day and night, hoping that this unusual research team could produce more results.
Now, he had finally waited! This overwhelming wealth had finally fallen upon Old Yan! It had just happened before he took up his post at the Provincial Department of Industry! This allowed him to witness this exciting moment as the factory director.
