Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 196: Insights from Life: Future Directions
Sunny morning.

Li Jiankun and the other five followed Lin Hai and walked leisurely on a dirt road in the mountains. There were people in front of them like snakes, and people passed by them from time to time.

These are all members of the [-]th Brigade.

Those who go this way are not empty-handed. Some are carrying sacks or snakeskin bags, some are carrying baskets, and bamboo baskets are carried on their backs. Those doing "big business" are carrying baskets, and a few people are pushing wheelbarrows.

These containers or transportation vehicles were full of goods. Li Jiankun looked at them all the way, and they were nothing more than vegetables, rice, potatoes and other agricultural and sideline products.

These days, the level of economic development in the port city is at the same level as that in the mainland. It is only because of the scarcity of land resources that they are slightly concerned about the agricultural and sideline products in the mainland.

The passing members were also looking at them, but they were not surprised. Instead, their eyes focused more on Lin Hai, full of envy.

After continuing for a while, Li Jiankun found a simple outpost, and the members took out their membership cards and showed them to pass.

The five of them were destined to have trouble getting through. Fortunately, the border trading place was within sight. Lin Hai led them up a small hill and looked down at it, which made it even clearer.

There is an open mountainous area ahead, with sentries on the opposite side and white soldiers patrolling outside.

At approximately one-half of this mountainous area, there is an iron wire wall that extends into the mountains on both sides with no end in sight.However, in the middle of the visual field, a part of the wire wall has obviously been "trimmed" and is much shorter, only as tall as a person.

At this time, both sides of this low wire wall were densely packed with heads.

On one side were the members of the Thirteenth Brigade, and on the other side were the traders from the port city. Behind these people from the port city, there were seven or eight vans or small trucks parked.

Baskets or bags of agricultural products were lifted high above their heads by members of the [-]th Brigade and sent to the opposite side. There were several scales on the ground over there, and the weight could be calculated quickly.

After confirming the weight and inspecting the goods, there will be things stuffed over there, but often only a few.

The volume of goods between the two parties is extremely unequal.

Li Jiankun noticed that a member pushing a wheelbarrow used four large baskets of radishes in exchange for a narrow box the size of a notebook. It was unknown what was inside. He speculated that if it was not a calculator, it was a miniature radio.

Xiao Wang and the four others next to him witnessed such a scene, and their emotions were relatively normal, but they were already filled with emotions in their hearts.

How much bitterness is condensed in this scene, not only now, but also in the future. We work day and night, and the fruits of our labor and sweat are extremely cheap to the outside world.

The industrial products coming off the assembly lines in developed countries are sold to us at sky-high prices.

In the past, if you were lagging behind, you would be beaten. Now if you are lagging behind, you will be impoverished and harvested.

This present can even extend to 40 years before his rebirth.

At this moment, Li Jiankun seemed to have an epiphany. Since his rebirth, although he has been working hard to make money, he is also determined to make a lot of money, because he deeply understands that the future will be a money society.But he didn't have a clear industry plan, he just did whatever he felt was necessary to make money.

He once told Zhuangbangzi that he wanted to be an industrialist. This was his true intention.

He thought that as long as he had money, he could start many companies and build many factories. While making more money, he could also provide employment for many people and create tax revenue for the country——

Yes, he did think so.

It's not all because of how kind-hearted he is. He feels that after reliving his life, he should do something meaningful and leave something in this world. Otherwise, he will die and no one will remember it many years later. Looking for it in history If there is less than the slightest trace, it is really not a worthwhile life.

At this moment, his thoughts escalated.

He thought that he might be able to change the future of the world to a small extent.

He wants to engage in high technology!

This is not a blind slogan. It is true that our country is indeed very poor now, but in fact, it is still a bit awesome in some aspects.

Many people who came later did not know that our country had developed a photolithography machine as early as 1965.

At that time, we were indeed still more than [-] years behind the West, but in the following ten years, we never gave up the pace of catching up.At present, my country's second-generation "automatic alignment step-projection" lithography machines are probably "offline" in the laboratory.

Because next year, in 1980, with only a few days left, it will be announced and shock the whole world.Later, in 1981, the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences began to develop a more advanced "semi-automatic proximity lithography machine" and successfully developed two prototypes in the same year.

In 1982, Factory 109 of the Academy of Sciences developed the KHA-75-1 lithography machine. This lithography machine is conservatively estimated to be less than four years behind Canon, the then dominant lithography machine giant.

In 1985, the stepper lithography machine developed by the 45th Institute of the Ministry of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering reached the level of the 4800DSW lithography machine of the United States, and this lithography machine was only seven years after the birth of the United States.

Don’t ask why Li Jiankun understands it so well. Who among the Chinese people who lived in the 2020s has not been frustrated and frustrated because someone had a photolithography machine stuck in his neck?
He had consulted the information in this area in detail. After learning this information, he was also very surprised and shocked at the time.

So why did it decline again later?

He read through a lot of information and found the root cause, a reason that made people even more confused.

Just because in the late 80s, for some reason, the concept of "why build when you can buy it" became very popular. Batumi suddenly relaxed its restrictions, and some countries were willing to sell us lithography machines that were one or two generations behind.

For the technological level at that time, it was completely sufficient.

As a result, the development of photolithography machines in our country has stalled.

However, the people who clamored for this concept at the time probably never imagined that they would no longer sell it to us.Do you want those who are ten generations behind?
Of course, there is also a conspiracy theory that they have always known about.

The same is true for chips. Since we can make the lithography machine in full swing, the chips made by it will naturally not fall behind.

In 1979, exactly this year, Modu Component Factory 1974 and Radio Factory 8080 both successfully copied the [-] CPU launched by Intel in [-].

Germany, a long-established industrial power, will need next year to successfully imitate.

It can be seen that in the core field of chip manufacturing, we are poor these days, but we are still among the best in the world. Only beautiful countries and poor countries in the world are several years ahead of us.The future Helan lithography machine giant ASML still doesn’t know where it is.

Therefore, Li Jiankun's idea of ​​developing high technology in this era is not a castle in the air, but actually has a foundation.

Of course, it's not that simple. In the current environment, private companies can't even implement it. Do you have the idea of ​​privately developing important technological tools such as photolithography machines and chips?
At least we have to wait until after 84. This is a long-term plan.

Everything comes from life, because this little episode in front of him activated Li Jiankun's thinking, lit a lamp for him, and illuminated the direction of the future.

Only for this reason, this trip south is worthwhile.

"Actually, we don't want to do business with people from Hong Kong City whom we don't know. Mad, we are so stingy."

Lin Hai's cursing voice could be heard in his ears.

He once used two baskets of potatoes in exchange for five silk scarves from the opposite side. After selling them in the town, he earned one yuan and forty cents after excluding the cost of the potatoes.

People are almost dead from exhaustion.

"Oh? Then why are there so many people?" Li Jiankun's thoughts were not completely brought back and he spoke casually.

"Some older people are used to hardship and are not afraid of getting tired. Besides, they can't find anything else to do and have no choice. Some of them have acquaintances there and the two sides have agreed that whatever they want over there, they will do it. Or Do it the other way around. That's how you get started."

Lin Hai paused for a moment when he said this, then smiled and said, "I have one too!"

Li Jiankun thought to himself that he had heard your brother talk about it. He turned to look at him and asked with interest: "Isn't that great? Don't mention anything else. Just go to the vegetable vendor and sell it to the people across the street to make a profit." You are young and old, why haven’t you seen me?”

Judging from the current prices in the mainland and the demand for agricultural and sideline products in the port city, you can make a small fortune even if you really sell radishes and cabbage.

How much does a pound of mainland radish and cabbage cost?
Two points.

Why can’t it be sold in Hong Kong City for a price equivalent to RMB [-] cents?

Ten times the premium.

It can be called a quality business.
