Sheng Tunan went to answer the phone, and Elder Wen's voice came through the receiver, "Tunan, the wafer manufacturing company refuses to sell wafers to our country."

The matter was serious, so Mr. Wen didn't exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"Is it because of the robot dog?" Sheng Tunan asked.

"Not only that. Since the reform and opening up, many of our country's industrial manufacturing enterprises and electronics factories have developed rapidly, and these are inseparable from wafers. Without wafers, many factories will go bankrupt." Elder Wen's heavy voice came.

The development of chips is more difficult than the atomic bomb!!!

The number of components involved in the production of wafers is in the billions, and the precision is at the nanometer level. As of 1978, no country can independently develop wafers.

Even China, which claims to be the world's number one in scientific research, cannot do it because China does not have a photolithography machine and can only rely on the Netherlands.

However, the countries in these industrial chains are in collusion with each other and have united to suppress developing countries.

The Chinese are hardworking and smart. In the 1970s, wages were very low, with a worker earning only thirty or so yuan a month. The cost was low, the product price was also low, and the cost-performance ratio was high. Therefore, in the past two months, Chinese products have come to the fore around the world because of their high quality and low price.

With the addition of the invincible robot dogs on the battlefield, China, the sleeping giant dragon, has awakened. At this rate, it will be no surprise that China will become a powerful country.

Therefore, the capitalist countries, led by the United States, were afraid and united to strangle China's strong momentum.

"Tunan, we don't have many chips left. We have set up a chip research and development team before, but after ten years of research, we spent more money than an atomic bomb, but there was no success. Later, due to funding constraints, we had to stop this research." Through the voice, one can feel the helplessness and powerlessness on Mr. Wen's face.

"Grandpa, do you want my parents-in-law and their family to buy crystals from Hong Kong and ship them here?" Sheng Tunan asked.

It is not yet 1997 and trade in Hong Kong is very free.

You can definitely buy Jingyuan in Hong Kong.

Elder Wen sighed, "There's no other way. We can't stop researching robots in the future, can we? Besides, there are still many companies waiting for Jingyuan, we can't stop working."

Together, these enterprises have solved the employment problems of hundreds of thousands of people. Farmers’ lives are also gradually improving because of these enterprises. It is impossible for their livelihood to disappear just a few days after they had enough food and clothing.

"But this is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution," Sheng Tunan said frankly.

Let’s not talk about whether it is easy to pass Hong Kong customs. There are risks every time you ship it here. The most important thing is that most of the Ouyang family’s businesses in Hong Kong are in the real estate and financial industries. They don’t use wafers very often. Maybe they can buy them in bulk for the first time, but what about the future?

Most importantly, the cost of importing crystals is huge. The money spent every year can build 20 aircraft carriers.

"Grandpa, can Xinyue start a company that develops its own chips?" Sheng Tunan suddenly asked.

Zhan Xinyue had told him before that the next step was to open a factory to make machine tools. Machine tools are inseparable from crystals, and Zhan Xinyue didn't like to have her life controlled by others, so she had long wanted to develop crystals.

Developing chips takes a long time and is very expensive. The country has already given up on it once, and now does not have enough money to support this project that has no future.

Zhan Xinyue has this money. Her Zhongsheng Pharmaceutical has become famous, and she has a small goal to convert the foreign exchange she earns into Chinese yuan every month. Now Zhan Xinyue has opened a branch factory in her hometown in Hunan Province. She has made money, so of course she wants to return to her hometown to make contributions.

There is no problem using this money for wafer research and development.

"Okay." Mr. Wen thought for a while and agreed.

There are too many leaders in the public research and development teams. In addition to research, researchers also have to report their work and attend meetings. Now that wafer development is imminent, we cannot waste even a little time.

If Zhan Xinyue were to start a company for R&D, these researchers would be responsible to Zhan Xinyue alone and would not waste time reporting work to different leaders from time to time.

"If you need someone in this area, I can help introduce them." Elder Wen said again.

"Okay." Sheng Tunan searched the memory of his previous life. In his previous life, a female scientist named Huang Yi led a team to complete the research and development of crystal elements.

She was even honored by later generations as the "Mother of Huaxin".

"Grandpa, do you have Professor Huang 늄 yi's contact information?"

"Yes. Do you know her?" Wen was surprised for a moment, but then he realized that the doctor who came to the island with Sheng Tunan to develop robots was Huang Yi's favorite student. It should be this doctor who mentioned his mentor to Sheng Tunan.

"I'll tell her directly. She used to be in wafer development, but when she had to stop due to funding issues, she told me that if the project was restarted, she would definitely come back."

"good."

After the matter was settled, Mr. Wen hung up the phone and went to contact Huang 늄yi.

Here, as soon as Sheng Tunan hung up the phone, he was met with various looks from the crowd.

Ouyang Zhenting threw away the cigar he had smoked for a few seconds and cursed, "Is that damn country making trouble again? Do you need our help to buy crystals and ship them over? No problem. Our Ouyang family has some connections in Hong Kong, and we have hundreds of large ships. We don't have to worry about the customs. We can ship them over. It's up to Grandpa."

In the battle twenty or thirty years ago, the passage was blocked by the coalition. The volunteers had no food, no clothes, and no medicine to treat their injuries on the battlefield. It was Ouyang Zhenting who led the fleet to break through the blockades, fight pirates, and deliver important strategic supplies to the front line after going through hardships.

"The situation back then was much more serious than it is now, but I was able to deliver the supplies intact. It's the same now. Tunan, you can rest assured that Mr. Wen will take care of this matter." Ouyang Zhenting's patriotism was aroused, and he patted his chest and promised with excitement.

"Thank you, Grandpa. But Grandpa, this is not a long-term solution. We must have the ability to independently develop wafers." Sheng Tunan looked at Zhan Xinyue: "Wife, I know you have wanted to develop wafers for a long time. What do you think?"

"We must start research and development immediately. Huanyu Island is safe, so I will build a research and development company on the island. As for personnel, I just heard Huang Dongyi's name. Who is she?"

In her previous life, Zhan Xinyue died earlier than Sheng Tunan. When she died, Huaguo Jingyuan had not yet been developed and few people knew Huang Dongyi's name.

"She is an expert in the field of semiconductors and microelectronics in China." There were too many people, so Sheng Tunan did not elaborate.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I have taken semiconductor electives. Can I join the R&D team?" Shen Fu raised his head.

"There are many people who can replace me in my current job, but I know that there are very few people studying semiconductors in Taiwan."

What Shen Fuyao said was true. China in the 1960s and 1970s was poor and backward, and there were not many places with electricity.
