Reborn since 1993

Chapter 116 Lian Po is still old and can still make a living

Zhou Shi, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, was holding a large briefcase in his hand, followed by two people, whose clothes were a bit older than Zhou Shi's. Both of them were also pulling a large suitcase.

"This is the capital of Hanxi Province!"

After leaving the Hanxi Provincial City Airport, Zhang Shiying, who was following Zhou Shi, couldn't help but said that the 45 Research Institute was not far from Xiyuan City. Some of the previous experimental equipment were transferred through Hanxi Provincial City, but They have never left the location of Research Institute 45, and this is their first time here.

"The people from Dongling High-tech should be here!" Wang Xia, another engineer, looked at his watch and said to Zhou Shi and Zhang Shiying.

Zhou Shi, Zhang Shiying, and Wang Xia are the main developers and engineers of the lithography machine research team of the 45 Research Institute. They were also invited to the Hanxi provincial capital this time.

The three engineers are all middle-aged, but they have been at the research institute for more than ten years. When they suddenly came here, even Zhou Shi, who was the chief engineer of the lithography machine of the 45 Research Institute, was a little at a loss.

"General Manager Zhou!"

At this moment, an Audi appeared in front of Zhou Shi and the others. A young man with short hair strode out of the car and was about to take the briefcase from Zhou Shi's hand, but Zhou Shi took the briefcase away. Got it behind me.

After being stunned for a moment, the short-haired young man said to Zhou Shi, "General Manager Zhou, I am a member of the Security Department of Dongling Hi-tech. This is my ID. From now on, I will be responsible for your and Engineer Zhang's and Engineer Wang's travels. If you have anything to do, just tell me!"

After seeing the certificate, Zhou Shi felt relieved. As someone who worked at the rear of the third line of construction, engineers like Zhou Shi were very vigilant and had a high sense of confidentiality.

Although he was relieved, Zhou Shi still held the briefcase firmly in his hand.

After getting in the car, Zhang Shiying remembered what the short-haired young man said just now, "What did you mean when you said you would be responsible for our travels in the future?!"

"From now on, this car will be a special car for Chief Engineer Zhou, as well as Workers Zhang and Wang. I will be your full-time driver and security guard. If you need anything, you can ask me to do it!" The transfer is in progress! The short-haired young man at the front of the car said to Zhou Shi and the others.

Hearing this, Zhou Shi and the others looked at each other in shock. You must know that when they were at the 45th Research Institute of the Ministry of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, engineers like them were not equipped with cars and full-time drivers. Even the director of the research institute was not given such treatment.

This Audi is now worth at least several hundred thousand yuan. The treatment given to them by Dongling Hi-Tech is somewhat beyond Zhou Shi's imagination. The entire 45 Research Institute now only has yuan left in its account, and Hundreds of young people in the research institute were not paid, and some of them even made a living by setting up stalls, selling vegetables, opening small restaurants, etc. This contrast made Zhou Shi and the others feel mixed emotions.

"General Engineer Zhou, do you guys want to rest or eat first? Mr. Li asked me to take good care of General Engineer Zhou today..."

"Go see your Mr. Li!"

"Go now?!" the driver asked in surprise, "You guys haven't eaten yet..."

"Without Mr. Li, we can't eat this meal!" Zhou Shi said, Zhang Shiying and Wang Xia also nodded.

Zhou Shi and the others were from the 45 Research Institute. After receiving a call from the Ministry of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and the Department of Electronics, they were asked to come to the provincial capital. Tanglin Hi-tech had a relationship with the Ministry of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering through the Binh Duong Municipal Government and Han Tay Provincial Department of Industry. , Yanjing Electronics Department contacted 45 Research Institute.

The lithography machine project of the 45 Research Institute may be restarted. This is the main reason why Zhou Shi and others rushed here in a hurry. If they don’t really want to develop a lithography machine and don’t want to develop their own lithography machine for the country, they It is impossible for them to grit their teeth and research and develop when funding has been so difficult in the past few years. Now they are seeing a turnaround. If they don't hear the right words, they won't be able to eat anything.

Li Dongling was a little surprised when he heard Zhou Shi and the others rushing over so quickly. He asked the assistant on the side, "Academician Ni's plane, what can reach the provincial capital?"

"Expected tomorrow morning!"

Li Dongling nodded, and then said, "Let the kitchen prepare a table of food. When Chief Engineer Zhou and others arrive, they can serve it at any time!"

"Chief Engineer Zhou, Engineer Zhang, and Engineer Wang!"

Li Dongling personally greeted Zhou Shi and the others at the office building of Dongxin Semiconductor.

Looking at Li Dongling in front of him, Zhou Shi felt that Li Dongling was much younger than he imagined. The apprentices he led in the research institute were all several years older than Li Dongling.

But right now, Li Dongling is the only one who can potentially save the lithography machine project of the 45 Research Institute. No matter how old Li Dongling is, he must try. The research institute itself cannot make any money, and the mechanical and electrical department is also in difficulty. There are a lot of funding for research institutes. Among domestic private companies, except for Tanglin Hi-Tech, no other one is willing to develop this thing.

The lithography machine project of Research Institute 45 has been delayed for nine years. If it continues to be delayed, there is really no hope of picking it up and re-developing it. Zhou Shi and the others are almost reaching their end of life. Not only because of retirement, the ability to absorb new things and new technologies also weakens after a certain age. In ten years, even if they are given top experimental equipment, sufficient materials and funds, they will not have the energy or ability to research and develop!

Although they were anxious, after entering Dongxin Semiconductor, Zhou Shi and the others first took a look at Dongxin Semiconductor's design, processing, coating, testing and other laboratories, as well as a number of experimental equipment. These experimental equipment of Dongxin Semiconductor are not It is top-notch, but compared to the 45 Research Institute, which still has the equipment of a few years ago, it is indeed much better. Each laboratory is equipped with office computer equipment from IBM and Apple, not to mention the laboratory environment.

After the unfinished visit, Zhou Shi resisted the urge to get started and manipulate it. Zhou Shi signaled Zhang Shiying to take out something in a box from the suitcase.

"Mr. Li, this is a gift from our 45 Research Institute to you and Dongling Hi-Tech. I hope you like it!"

After unboxing the box, Li Dongling saw that inside was a model of a photolithography machine carved from wood. "This is the model of the photolithography machine developed by Research Institute 45?!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Shi looked at the wooden model and said, "This is a model carved to scale based on the photolithography machine from Research Institute 45!"

Mentioning that lithography machine, Zhou Shi couldn't help but feel excited and a little proud in his words. He was in a third-tier research institute and could develop a lithography machine that was considered to be the first echelon in the world at that time. As a researcher, For engineers, this is something they can be proud of in their careers.

"On behalf of Donglin Hi-Tech and Dongxin Semiconductor, I would like to thank 45 Research Institute for this gift."

After Li Dongling accepted the gift, he asked what he was most concerned about, "How big is the gap between the current lithography machine at the 45 Research Institute and Nikon's lithography machine?!"

Nikon lithography machine is now the overlord of the global lithography machine industry, followed closely by Canon, one of the two giants of Japanese and Benzene lithography machines, and then the newly emerged Silicon Valley lithography machine group in America. In nine years, It is enough to introduce new semiconductors for several generations.

Hearing Li Dongling's words, Zhou Shi's face flushed and he was full of embarrassment. Finally, he sighed and said, "The one in the 45 Research Institute is a 250-nanometer lithography machine. It is the most advanced lithography machine on the market now." , has reached nanometers!”

Hearing this, Li Dongling was not disappointed. In the past ten years, the lithography machine industry has been turned upside down. Nikon and Canon have become lithography machine giants and have spent so much research and development funds. If they don't have some fun, money will be lost. Isn’t it all in vain?

Seeing Li Dongling thoughtfully, Zhou Shi, Zhang Shiying, and Wang Xia felt anxious. After nine years, they finally waited for a project to restart the lithography machine. How could they give up like this?

"Mr. Li," Zhou Shi said, "in recent years, although we have not been able to develop photolithography machines due to financial reasons, we have been developing projects such as pattern generators, four-head compact cameras, and projection exposure machines. Yes, Lao Zhang and Lao Wang are both experts in the optical industry, and they are also among the best in the country."

"The most important thing about a lithography machine is the optical lens. As long as there is funding, we are confident that we can push the lithography machine to within 450 nanometers!"

Zhou Shi gasped and said to Li Dongling with a somewhat excited expression, "I am willing to issue a military order. If the research and development fails, I..."

At this time, Zhou Shi suddenly remembered that he seemed to have nothing to bet on. His current salary was only a few hundred yuan, and the institute would not pay wages for a while. If he wanted to invest in a lithography machine, he would have to invest real money. The research and development was unsuccessful, and it seemed that he only had one life left. He gritted his teeth, and when Zhou Shi was about to use his life to establish a military order, Li Dongling stopped him.

"I believe in the strength of you, Chief Engineer Zhou, as well as Engineers Zhang, Wang and Research Institute 45. Otherwise, I wouldn't invite you here this time!"

Li Dongling looked at Zhou Shi and others and said, "Donngling Hi-tech established Dongxin Semiconductor to develop chips and lithography machines. Dongling Hi-tech does not want to be controlled by others forever. I think this is also the long-cherished wish of Engineer Zhou and your generation of engineers! "

Hearing Li Dongling's words, Zhou Shi and the others couldn't help but look happy, but before they could be happy, they heard Li Dongling say again.

"However, I still need to make it clear how Dongxin Semiconductor will cooperate with 45 Research Institute and Mr. Zhou and you guys. I don't want Dongxin Semiconductor and 45 Research Institute to cause unpleasant things in the future. For the sake of research and development safety and confidentiality, the measures that need to be taken must be done in advance!”

Hearing this, Zhou Shi, Zhang Shiying, and Wang Xia looked at each other in confusion, wondering what Li Dongling meant, "Mr. Li, I don't know what you mean?!"

"Donngling Hi-Tech wants to cooperate with 45 Research Institute, but it is led by Dongxin Semiconductor. Dongxin Semiconductor can provide a capital of 45 million yuan to buy out all the lithography machine technology and equipment of Research Institute!

The premise is that Chief Engineer Zhou and the engineers from the lithography machine research team of the 45 Research Institute must resign from the 45 Research Institute and join Dongxin Semiconductor! "
