Mi Guangnan and his team stayed on the third floor for a while to see the development of machine tools and battery research.
The machine tool department is currently working on the nine-axis five-link system, and dozens of people are busy working on it.
There were seven or eight blue-eyed, white-skinned foreigners in the middle.
Mi Guangnan felt a little strange to see foreigners here.
“Are there any foreigners here?”
"We hired some Soviet mechanical experts and senior craftsmen last year. There were originally more than a dozen of them. By the end of last year, some of them left, leaving only seven or eight. Maybe they'll come back in a few years."
Wan Feng was certain that after 1992, a group of Soviet engineers and experts that Wan Feng needed would come here again.
"Let's go to the fourth floor and take a look."
Mi Guangnan nodded and took the lead to go up to the fourth floor.
"The entire fourth floor is dedicated to semiconductor microelectronics research."
The floors below are occupied by two projects, but here semiconductors occupy a separate floor, which shows the position of this technology in Wan Feng's heart.
Unfortunately, less than one-third of the 2,500 square meters of the fourth floor is currently in use, and many rooms and departments are empty.
"This department currently has only over a hundred people, which is why many places are idle. What our company lacks most right now is talent in this area."
On this floor, Wan Feng introduced Gu Hongzhong to Mi Guangnan.
"Engineer Gu is the head of our semiconductor department. He designed the pager you saw, and he is currently the leader in our chip research."
Gu Hongzhong and Mi Guangnan shook hands.
Gu Hongzhong then led these people to visit the various research departments on the third floor.
When these people saw that the most advanced research equipment in the country was located here, they all exclaimed in admiration.
Some of the equipment is not available in their unit.
I couldn't help but admire the courage of this young boss in investing in scientific research.
Not only are there advanced domestic equipment here, but there are also some foreign equipment that can be bought on the market, and of course research equipment from the Soviet Union.
"Are these Soviet devices still okay?" someone asked.
"In terms of semiconductors, the gap in semiconductor technology between developed countries isn't huge. The Soviets also had their own unique semiconductor expertise. However, public opinion is controlled by the West, and many Soviet technologies have been smeared, creating the illusion that their technology was inferior. In reality, Soviet technology isn't that backward. Take this cleaning equipment, for example. The Western equipment we can buy isn't as advanced as the Soviet equipment."
The Western equipment that China can buy are all obsolete gadgets. How good can they be?
The most advanced technology is not available even if you have money.
Of course, if you can produce it, they will lift the ban.
Like a five-axis machine tool.
After Nanwan Machinery Factory was able to produce five-axis five-link machine tools, it was said that Japan's five-axis machine tools would be lifted from the ban.
In the 1980s, the gap between developed countries in semiconductor technology was not that large. The Soviet Union only started to lag behind in this regard after its split.
Even now, China is not far behind in some areas of semiconductors, and the gap has only widened since the 1990s.
The West's technological lead in semiconductors only began to widen in the 1990s.
Although the area of the fourth floor is less than one-third in use, not every department can visit it. Mi Guangnan found that there were at least three to five departments that Gu Hongzhong did not take them on a tour of and did not explain.
In other words, what is shown to them can be seen, and there is no secret at all.
Wan Feng is not stupid. He doesn't know how many of these people can cooperate. Of course, there is no need to reveal all his cards to those who cannot cooperate.
After seeing that they had seen enough of the place, Wan Feng suggested going into the workshop to take a look.
The group readily agreed.
Huaguang Factory currently has two production workshops, one of which is a larger learning machine workshop.
One is a small-scale production workshop for pagers.
Wan Feng first took them into the pager workshop.
The entire workshop was exceptionally clean.
Electronic products have very high requirements for the environment, especially the workshops that produce silicon wafers and chips in later generations, which require an absolute vacuum environment to be truly spotless.
Although the pager workshop is clean, it naturally cannot reach that level of cleanliness. One reason is that the conditions are not yet met, and the other is that there is no need.
It's just to produce a simple pager.
There are not many people in this workshop now, about a hundred or eighty people, working in an orderly manner.
Due to sales reasons, the current production of pagers is not high, with only a few hundred units produced a day, and most of them are still piled up in the warehouse.
Because of this, the workers on the production line are not busy, but instead give people a relaxed feeling.
Strictly speaking, all the production lines currently designed by the Nanwan factory can only be considered semi-automatic lines, and the main components of the products still need to be completed manually.
For example, the components on the circuit boards of this production line are basically still soldered one by one by humans.
Mi Guangnan and Wan Shouwu each picked up a circuit board that had been soldered and was about to enter the assembly process.
One of these two people worked on integrated circuits and the other is currently working on computers, so they are qualified to comment on circuit boards.
"Not bad, not bad. People who are not experts really can't tell that this is hand-welded. The welds are very even and smooth." Wan Shouwu commented.
"And the design and operation of each component in this circuit are very reasonable. Was it designed by Engineer Gu just now?"
Gu Hongzhong did not follow these people out of the building. He still had a lot of scientific research work to do, so how could he follow these people to travel around?
Wan Feng nodded: "He designed it."
“He is indeed a talent.”
After leaving the pager workshop, Wan Feng took them to visit the learning machine workshop.
Seeing the production of learning machines, some people were really moved.
"Wow! This learning machine was originally made here! Our factory even bought several for the technicians to learn computers."
"We have one in our factory too. It's really useful for practicing fingering or something like that."
"Director Wan, can I get a cheaper deal here? I'm planning to buy one for my child."
"Yeah, yeah! I'm going to get one for my little daughter too."
Of course it is cheaper to buy a learning machine here. The cheapest price is the factory price, and the cheaper price is the cost price.
If the two sides can negotiate some cooperative results, there would be no harm in Wan Feng giving them two machines for free.
After visiting these two workshops, Mi Guangnan actually became interested in the production of the motorcycle workshop again.
He felt that he needed to learn more about this company.
While the rest of the group was led by Zhu Yong to Nanda Mountain to enjoy the scenery, Mi Guangnan and Wan Shouwu, accompanied by Wan Feng, walked into the motorcycle production workshop.
