Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 951 Another World

Many researchers who were newly assigned here often thought that the Huadian cafeteria was a large auditorium.

In fact, there is actually a large auditorium in the Huadian Industrial Park.

It is a building that follows the characteristics of the era.

After all, living in the present, many things cannot be completely separated from the scope of the present.

Nowadays, auditoriums are indispensable buildings in government agencies and institutions, from the national court to the village collective.

noon.

The Huadian Auditorium is designed to accommodate 3,000 people attending events at the same time.

The occupancy rate can be half.

All researchers under the Special Zone Huadian Company, whether they were headquartered staff or transferred staff, were present.

There are 52 seats on the rostrum.

Except Li Jiankun.

They are all core technical backbones of Huadian Research Institute, headed by Vice President Lin Lanying.

It is worth mentioning that the position of the dean of Huadian Research Institute, the soul of the entire Huadian Industrial Park, is still vacant.

Ms. Lin Lanying was unwilling to take this full-time position.

No one dares.

In my country's semiconductor field, she is the absolute authority, no doubt about it.

Otherwise, it would not have been known as the "Mother of Semiconductors".

Ms. Lin Lanying sat slightly to the left of the center line of the rostrum, next to her was Li Jiankun.

"Wow, Mr. Li is so young."

"Like a movie star..."

The meeting hadn't officially started yet, and there was no telling how many similar whispers were going on in the audience.

Of course Li Jiankun had prepared for such an important conference.

Wear formal attire.

He particularly hates wearing ties, so he wears a pure black casual tie that is not available in China at the collar of his white slim shirt.

Ran Zi bought it for him when they were young.

Offstage, Wang Qing nudged Su Yanan, and the two girls whispered in each other's ears:
"Yanan, my eyes are about to fall to the ground. I thought Mr. Li was a greasy uncle with a pot belly. He looks too young and handsome!

"It's over, it's over, I'm going to fall in love..."

Su Yanan poked her head lightly with her finger. She was already used to her eccentricity. She covered her mouth with her other hand and chuckled:

“It was quite unexpected indeed.

“It’s even more admirable.”

Mr. Li, who was sitting in the middle of the rostrum, was obviously the same age as them.

When they are still worrying about their livelihood and confused about the future.

He is already the general manager of a large joint venture.

Director of two national projects.

How outstanding does a person have to be to reach such a height at such an age?

Su Yanan thought that Xiaoqing might not just be joking.

Such a man is infinitely charming.

"Don't think about it, he's a man you can't have."

"You damn girl, you only know how to attack me!"

Nine o'clock sharp.

The meeting begins.

Ms. Lin Lanying first delivered a speech, welcoming the researchers who were transferred here and explaining the main issues of today's conference.

Before this, she, Li Jiankun, and the core technical backbones on the rostrum had held many meetings and discussions.

Finally, a strategic plan was determined:
The research and development of semiconductor materials is divided into eight major project departments.

They are:
Wafer Project Department.

CMP polishing project department.

Photomask Project Department.

Photoresist Project Department.

Wet Electronics Chemistry Project Department.

Electronic Gas Project Department.

Sputtering Target Project Department.

Packaging Project Department.

These eight major projects cover all the core materials needed for chip manufacturing.

Every project department will be a behemoth.

It can be said that if a large project can produce results above the standard, it is entirely possible to build an international-class company.

For example, electron gas.

Electronic gases are widely used in many links of the chip manufacturing process, such as ion implantation, etching, vapor deposition, doping, etc., and are indispensable core materials.

The performance of the chip is closely related to the quality of the electronic gas, so electronic gas is also called the "blood" of chip manufacturing.

There are hundreds of electronic gases needed for chip manufacturing.

With the continuous advancement of technology and the improvement of chip performance, there will be more in the future.

This is not difficult to see.

The heavy workload of scientific research.

Fortunately, Li Jiankun now has a strong army and the country's talent pool to use.

“…I know that this division is not detailed enough and each project department will be under tremendous pressure and tasks.

After announcing the plan, Li Jiankun glanced at the audience and said seriously:

“But please understand that currently no company in the world has the ability to produce all the core materials for chip manufacturing.

“What’s involved is too huge.

“However, we cannot regard this as the behavior of a single company.

“Comrades who have been transferred here are all aware of your mission.

“Let’s divide it this way first, and then slowly adjust it later, and we will continue to expand in all aspects.

"Everyone should understand one thing: we are the only ones doing this in the whole country right now."

Li Jiankun noticed that most of the people in the audience looked troubled, and thought it was necessary to give them a shot of chicken blood.

Then he changed the subject and said with emotion:
“Comrades, the future is an information age.

"As the brain of the information age, the 'chip' will become a critical 'weapon'.

“When I say weapons, I mean two things:
“1. A weapon to promote the rapid development of our country’s economic undertakings.

“2. The big stick of technology.”

Li Jiankun paused and said:

“You should all be aware that the West has been imposing a technology embargo on us, which is called the technological stick.

“We are a hundred years behind.

“I’ve been beaten for a hundred years.

"The advent of the information age is an opportunity, an opportunity to overtake others.

"Then I would like to ask you, do you still want to be beaten?"

This is not a problem at all.

Before Li Jiankun finished speaking, a roar broke out in the auditorium:

"In no mood!"

Li Jiankun smiled knowingly: "So everyone, no matter how difficult it is, we must master the 'brain' of the information age - the chip.

"And if you want to make chips, semiconductor materials are the foundation."

He suddenly raised his hand and pointed casually at the people in the audience:
"you you you……

"He will be the founder of my country's chip industry."

Wang Qing's body suddenly trembled.

Mr. Li, just pointed at her!

The two sides looked at each other.

Of course, Su Yanan next to her also thought that Mr. Li was referring to her, and her eyes also met hers.

My blood is boiling at this moment.

The magnetic voice coming from the speakers continued:
"Can my country's chip industry lay a solid foundation?

“Is it possible for us to overtake others?

“It can even be said that our dream of achieving great rejuvenation may be realized in the next era.

“The hardest first step depends on you.”

Li Jiankun stood up, faced the audience, and bowed deeply.

Many people in the audience had red eyes and subconsciously raised their hands to support.

"Please everyone!"

Li Jiankun slowly stood up:

“Please remember this day.

"Remember the dream we have here.

"When the seed of this dream blooms and bears fruit someday in the future, I will burn incense, bathe, straighten my clothes, and still be here, sweeping the bed to welcome you, to celebrate for you all!"

Clap clap clap clap!
The applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time.

The atmosphere was immediately livened up.

Many people even stood up excitedly.

Ms. Lin Lanying glanced at the person beside her and a big smile appeared on her face.

I thought to myself, no wonder this little guy could achieve such success.

He is a natural leader.

It is estimated that there are more than one or two people in the auditorium who want to risk their lives...

Of course, this semiconductor material development plan must have such passion and enthusiasm.

Otherwise it will be difficult to accomplish anything.

Once successful, we will achieve autonomy in almost all key semiconductor materials, just like Japan and the United States do now.

The impact and significance are extremely profound.

This is also the career she has been fighting for all her life and her unfulfilled dream.

The last part of the meeting is grouping.

On the stage, a senior executive held a thick document and began to make arrangements for each project department one by one.

First, the person in charge of the project department is announced.

Then all other researchers in the auditorium were assigned to eight project departments one by one.

It is a bit slow, but it reflects the importance we attach to the plan and to every researcher.

Offstage, Wang Qing and Su Yanan started to argue again:
"Yanan, what project department do you think we will be assigned to?"

"Of course, it is allocated according to individual technical expertise."

"Technical expertise? Then tell me, who has the technical expertise in CMP polishing materials? And photomasks, sputtering targets..." The relevant technology is completely blank in China.

I have never seen it.

Who can understand?

Su Yanan was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Wang Qing said quietly, "There will always be people assigned to these new fields. Starting from scratch is too difficult..."

Even though everyone was excited, her words might have been even more so.

After all, I was just mentioned by Mr. Li.

But if possible, she would prefer to be assigned to a project department that is familiar with the technical basics.

It’s not all about fear, really…

not sure.

No one wants to disappoint those who have high expectations of them.

"Wang Qing."

Suddenly a sound came from the speaker.

Wang Qing quickly stood up: "Here!"

"Photomask Project Department."

Wang Qing opened her eyes wide: "???"

She has a carefree personality and she almost cried when she sat down.

What bad luck!

Su Yanan patted her hand to comfort her, but she didn't take her hand away yet.

"Su Yanan."

Su Yanan stood up hastily: "Yes!"

"CMP Polishing Project Department."

After Su Yanan was stunned, she smiled slightly: "Yes!"

Wang Qing: “?”

Watching her best friend slowly sit down, she asked in surprise, "You're still laughing?"

The smile on Su Yanan's face became even wider: "Just now, I figured out one thing."

"What?"

"The higher-ups know each of us very well. Just like you said, these new areas always require someone to explore. The leaders assigned you and me to this because they believe we can achieve results. This is a kind of trust and special treatment, and we should be happy.

Wang Qing: "Why are you so positive when it comes to us?"

Su Yanan asked back: "Isn't it good?"

"That's fine, but aren't you worried?"

If you say you're not worried, that's a lie.

Su Yanan's knowledge of CMP polishing materials is limited to reading a few foreign papers:
"Work hard, start from the most basic principles, if others can figure it out, we can do it too! This is indeed a career of extraordinary significance. I have a deep understanding of what Mr. Li said just now. What does it matter if I sacrifice my youth for this? Let's work together!"

"You are really my best friend..."

Near noon, the personnel allocation was completed.

During this process, Li Jiankun kept paying attention to the expressions of the people in the audience.

He took the microphone and said with a smile:

“Those comrades who have been assigned to new project areas, which are still new to us, should not be discouraged.

“You are not fighting alone.

"You have 863 project departments and companies behind you. Even people like me who can't help in scientific research will try their best to obtain resources in other areas to provide assistance to everyone..."

Offstage, Wang Qing leaned close to Su Yanan's ear:

"Hey, Yanan, I suddenly have a feeling that Mr. Li seems to be... not speaking in tune. I heard that businessmen are like this, speaking better than singing, and fooling people with a lot of tricks. Isn't he brainwashing us?"

"Have it?"

"From the way he speaks, it seems like he can get some technical secrets of new materials or something. Is that possible?"

"But the institute has many equipment and instruments that may be unique in the country. Huadian is not simple."

"Can the equipment and technology be the same? Besides, maybe it was made in the past. Now the foreign countries' embargo on our technology is extremely strict."

"It seems so."

"So, maybe Mr. Li isn't as good as we thought..."

……

After a few days of adjustment.

The eight project departments of semiconductor materials were officially established in the building of Huadian Research Institute, and the personnel adjustments were completed.

This morning.

The Photomask Project Department held its first plenary meeting.

Wang Qing and her new friends were squeezed into a conference room.

Before the leader showed up, everyone was talking and complaining:
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at, but I've never even seen a photomask."

"+1."

“I really don’t know why I was assigned to this project. How could they tell that I could develop materials for photomasks?

"We are not afraid of hard work, the key is to have a research direction. Does anyone know what raw materials are used to make photomasks?"

...

click!
The door handle turns.

Several leaders walked in together.

One of them was carrying a black leather suitcase with a combination lock.

"Okay, we're all family, let's not waste any more time talking and let the meeting officially begin."

Department head Lu Gong said this while signaling his deputy to open the suitcase.

The people below looked over, curious about what was inside.

Several hollowed-out "large-size films" were taken out.

Engineer Lu raised his hand and indicated: "This is the finished product of the photomask."

Hey!
The new recruits quickly rubbed their eyes.

Finally I have seen the true face of Mount Lu.

Engineer Lu took over a large stack of information from his assistant, one by one: "These are the detailed technical information for making the types of photomasks mentioned earlier."

blind!
Not to mention the new recruits.

Even the middle-aged researchers who were assigned to the position opened their eyes wide.

Everyone subconsciously asked:
“Where did it come from?

“Don’t we have a blank in this area?

"Not only did we get the finished product, but we also got detailed...technical information?
"Isn't this already done?"

Lu Gong glanced at the crowd and said carefully:

“It is necessary to let everyone know that Huadian is a large group with dozens of companies under its umbrella.

"One of them is a film company with a long history in Hong Kong. It started developing photomasks in the 1970s and has achieved some success.

“As a joint venture company of Huadian, we are close to the water and get the moon first.

"However, the photomask technology we currently have is still very low-end and can only match low-end chips, which is far from being world-leading.

"So comrades, don't be lazy, there is still a long way to go."

Everyone below suddenly laughed.

The dejection and confusion that had originally appeared in his body were swept away.

“It’s good to have a foundation!”

“This is more than just a foundation, it has already produced results!
"What am I afraid of? I'm just afraid of having no clue.

"Haha, standing on the shoulders of our predecessors, we must be the first among the eight project departments to come up with new results!
"Pretty!"

……

At lunch.

Wang Qing and Su Yanan met in the cafeteria.

After preparing the meal.

The two girls sat down at a dining table, and Wang Qing couldn't wait to show off to Su Yanan that their project department had a secret weapon.

After Wang Qing finished chattering.

Noticing Su Yanan had a strange look on her face, she asked, "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

Su Yanan said slowly:

"We have the same stuff you have in our project department. What we have is not just the basic information. Our technical data on CMP polishing materials can produce a polishing pad and polishing liquid for 180-130nm chips—"

"What?!"

Wang Qing's eyes widened, her lips moved, and she was speechless for a long time:
"Doesn't that mean that your project department already has CMP polishing technology for use with third-generation lithography machines?"

"Ah."

"..."

Wang Qing said jealously: "Then why are you still fighting for your life?"

"That's not the case. First of all, the fourth-generation lithography machine, the pride of our country, has been around for a long time. If the supporting materials cannot keep up, it will not be able to play its maximum role.

"Secondly, we have no idea about the raw materials for producing CMP polishing materials. We have to figure these out first. There is still a lot to do."

Wang Qing was a little depressed for a while, then suddenly remembered something and slapped herself lightly:
"Mr. Li is not just talking nonsense.

"Huadian Group is awesome. Did you get your secret weapon from Gangcheng?"

Su Yanan: "No, someone asked, but the leader didn't answer.

"Oh, by the way, the leader also said that the company will not use this kind of CMP polishing material. It will only be used as a technical reference to learn and develop more advanced technologies."

After Wang Qing carefully savored these words for a while, she couldn't help but click her tongue twice.

"What's wrong?"

"Yanan, you are only good at scientific research. If you were thrown into a spy drama, you wouldn't survive more than two episodes."

Su Yanan: “…”

Wang Qing said mysteriously: "There is a big secret in this!"

"What's the big secret?"

"You can't tell me, and you can't guess, or I'll be worried about my life."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Humph, reality must be crazier than I thought."

A tall and handsome figure appeared in Wang Qing’s mind: “That person, even if he takes the initiative to ask me out now, I… wouldn’t dare.

"We are not from the same world as him.

“The means and abilities of him and his companions.
