Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 579, Absolutely Impossible!

Wang Qingsong brought the two of them into the building.

Song Wenqing's mouth was watering as he looked at all the brand new equipment.

"These are all the equipment for producing circuit boards? How do we operate them?"

Wang Qingsong said, "Yes, they are all equipment used to produce circuit boards, but many of the operations in this factory are controlled by equipment, so not many people are needed."

He wanted to set up a handicraft workshop.

Unfortunately, with the technology of later generations, it is impossible to buy those that are too backward.

Even the quality of the mobile phone he bought is not comparable to the old model mobile phones.

"It's controlled by the device? Won't that make mistakes?"

"I can only say that the error rate is low and the efficiency is high. How can I put it? You will know when the equipment is assembled. It will take some time to assemble and debug all the equipment. I will give you half a year. Is that okay?"

"Half a year? Does it take that long?"

"I don't know either. This is my prediction. Your people will assemble the machine first. There is a classroom here for learning. When the time comes, there will be instruction on how to assemble the machine, including the production process in the future."

He just hopes that these people will learn how to operate first, and then learn the principles.

This has become the norm since the introduction of foreign-funded equipment in the 1990s.

Many devices are manufactured strictly in accordance with the requirements of foreign companies, and we dare not make any changes for fear of damaging them. In fact, many steps do not necessarily have to be used in absolute accordance with the requirements.

Song Wenqing was delighted when he heard this.

Great.

This kind of opportunity is really rare.

Then he asked, "Well...if possible, our people may be rotated here regularly. Do you think it's okay?"

Take turns to come and learn and gain experience.

Wang Qingsong smiled and nodded: "Sure! But don't delay the progress here. As long as it doesn't delay your progress and it's confidential, you can do whatever you want with the rest."

Song Wenqing smiled and agreed after hearing this: "Don't worry, there will definitely be no delay."

"That's fine. By the way, we need some security here, but I don't trust the people here. Can you find a few people to come over and take charge of the security here?"

Hearing this, Song Wenqing looked strange.

The technicians and security personnel are from the mainland.

In this case, wouldn't this factory, which seems to be highly confidential, be completely defenseless against the mainland?

This made him feel strange for a while.

I was totally confused for a moment.

If it were not inappropriate, he even wanted Wang Qingsong to build the factory in the mainland.

But he just wanted to think about it.

This person is a capitalist, he will definitely not agree to it. This is already the best condition.

While Wang Qingsong was thinking, the cell phone in his hand rang.

He picked up his phone and looked at it, then smiled at the two of them and said, "Excuse me! I have to take a call. You can check it out for yourselves."

Song Wenqing was polite: "Okay, go ahead and do your thing, we'll see."

Seeing this, Wang Qingsong took his phone and went to the side to answer the call.

"Hey, who's there?"

"It's me, Wanting!" Du Wanting's voice came from the phone.

"Oh, what's wrong? Is there something?"

"Well, a little bit. Spock also bought a calculator and took it apart. He found out that we produced the calculator, so he wanted to ask if our factory could manufacture the transistors inside it. All he had to do was provide the technology."

Wang Qingsong raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

I had totally forgotten about this guy. It's been such a long time since we got the equipment back. It should be put into production during this period.

He had thought of it before.

The transistor had already been invented.

The transistors used in calculators cannot be produced by other parties now because they do not have the technology, but in the next few years, people will start to research this thing.

Assembly alone will not work.

If the technology is available, Spock's semiconductors can be developed and put into use soon.

It's time to talk to him.

Then he agreed: "Okay, let's do this, I'll be done with my work later, and we'll go take a look. We haven't seen what a factory looks like yet."

"Okay! Then I'll wait for you!"

After the matter was settled, Wang Qingsong hung up the phone.

He came to Song Wenqing with the phone.

"What's wrong? I have something to do. Why don't you guys go ahead and do it first?"

When Song Wenqing saw him coming, he smiled and said something polite.

Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll go back after I finish my work here and have a look at other places first."

He wanted to leave now.

The main reason is that wearing this human skin mask is too stuffy.

Fortunately, it is not summer now, so the temperature here is not too high.

Song Wenqing nodded gently when he heard this: "Okay, let's go check out the others first."

Then the group strolled here for a while before leaving.

However, it has been confirmed that the technicians will be able to come here tonight.

Wang Qingsong naturally guaranteed his living expenses and his salary was settled at HK$240 per month.

This was what he had promised before, the salary would be calculated as double the salary here.

This salary is not low, equivalent to the salary of a section chief in the mainland.

And also includes food and accommodation.

After agreeing that someone would come over in the afternoon, the two of them left directly.

After everyone left, Wang Qingsong called Li Sichen and asked him to come over in the afternoon to arrange food and accommodation.

Originally we planned to wait until the renovation was completed before moving in.

But Song Wenqing and his people were more anxious than him. When they heard that there was water, electricity, and beds, and that food would be delivered from a nearby restaurant, they agreed immediately.

In his words, he has experienced all kinds of hardships.

Living in a building, even if it is an unfinished one, is enough to meet their basic needs.

Li Sichen naturally agreed.

Wang Qingsong hung up the phone, called Du Wanting, then left the factory and drove towards the previous factory.

It was the factory he had rented before.

When we arrived at the place, we found that the previous gate had been modified and the person who opened the gate had been replaced by a regular security guard.

Not like the carefree old man he used to be.

And the other party didn't recognize him anymore.

However, maybe after saying hello and explaining the situation, he was released quickly.

When the car drove in, Du Wanting was in the yard, talking to Spock, who had obviously just arrived.

"Wanting."

Wang Qingsong got out of the car and greeted Du Wanting.

When the car came in, the two of them stopped chatting.

"Mr. Spock!"

"BOSS!"

The two smiled and shook hands, with Du Wanting translating in between.

Wang Qingsong looked at her and asked, "When did you arrive?"

Du Wanting's company is a little closer to here, but it is only about ten minutes earlier at most. After all, Hong Kong Island is so small.

Du Wanting looked at him and smiled, "I just arrived. Mr. Spock knew you were coming and insisted on waiting for you downstairs!"

He looked at Spock and smiled, "Let's talk inside first!"

Then the group went up to the second floor.

This place is no longer a pile of sewing machines, but looks more like a semiconductor factory. The inside has also been renovated.

They came to an office and sat down.

After a while, a beautiful girl came over to pour coffee.

After sitting down, Wang Qingsong looked at him and smiled, "Mr. Spock, you are used to being here, right?"

Mr. Spock shrugged. "It feels good here, but the language barrier is terrible, and there are also big problems with teaching. But we are overcoming these difficulties."

The other party was also very direct. Without any small talk, he quickly took out a disassembled calculator component.

He put it on the table and asked, "I took it apart and looked at it. It also belongs to the category of transistors, but we don't have the technology. We have also completed the test of this thing. The stability is very good. Which company developed this? Why haven't I heard of it?"
I haven’t seen it in any technology magazines either!”

Du Wanting naturally served as an interpreter throughout the process.

Wang Qingsong and Du Wanting looked at each other.

Of course not, that was a few years later.

Then he smiled and said, "Mr. Spock, it's like this. I can't say who developed this thing because he doesn't like to be disturbed. As for the technology, we do have it and can license it to the company. But there is one thing. This requires a patent application, but the patent protection in Hong Kong Island is not very sound. So we have never applied for a patent."

Mr. Spock was thinking about what he had said.

After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this? This company is yours, and I am the general manager of this company. Can I apply for it in the name of the company, and my name will be on the patent? Of course, we can sign a contract, and this technology only belongs to the company.

And the company can also make money by selling patent licenses.”

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong raised his eyebrows.

Looked at Du Wanting.

After all, he didn't understand the legal issues, so he naturally had to seek Du Wanting's opinion.

Du Wanting thought about it after hearing this.

Finally, she nodded at him and said in Chinese: "This is also a good idea. Besides, patent licensing requires payment of a certain fee, which is being done all over the world."

Wang Qingsong was thinking about it after hearing this.

Many of his things are already basic, but they will basically be developed in the next few years.

Just a matter of time.

It is enough to solve the production problem now.

This was also one of his original plans.

It's just that he had never figured out how to deal with the problem of preventing technology from leaking, and the other party's proposal was exactly what he wanted.

And he wants to build a multinational technology company in the future.

Rather than a simple OEM factory.

Technological development is absolutely necessary, and it is also necessary to recruit a certain amount of foreign talents. After all, the mainland will not be able to provide him with too much technical support in the next 20 years.

This company is wholly owned by him.

He is also considering giving part of it to this company.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Okay! I'll give you the information after I sort it out, but you may need to figure out the equipment yourself."

It's impossible for him to be relied on to move equipment all his life.

Then he said to Du Wanting: "You go and draft the contract. Once I have all the information, we can start."

Du Wanting naturally agreed after hearing this: "Okay! I know, don't worry, I will take the contract to the United States and work with the lawyers there to draft it, including the subsequent technology."

He knew that Wang Qingsong had more than just this one skill.

There will be a lot involved in the future.

Wang Qingsong smiled and nodded when he heard this.

Regarding the contract, he was still very confident in Du Wanting, after all, she was a lawyer.

Even if he doesn't have the ability, he has channels in this regard.

Next Spock asked him about the other parts of the calculator.

Wang Qingsong knew something, but he was not very clear after all.

You can only tell the other person what you know.

Even so, Spock was amazed. After all, there were some technologies that even he, a semiconductor researcher, didn't know about.

Wang Qingsong looked at the other person, thinking about something in his mind.

That is the integrated circuit, also known as a chip.

Is it necessary to let the other party do the research?
This is a big project.

In fact, the chip already exists, it is only the first generation, and the second generation has also been developed in recent years.

The third generation of microprocessor chips was developed by Intel in 1971.

This chip has a built-in central processing unit, memory, and input and output interfaces, marking the arrival of the era of computer personalization.

Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment.

But after thinking about it, I decided to let the other party do the research, but I need to keep the patent in my hands.

As for the mainland, he has provided all the information he could about chips.

I just don’t know whether it will be taken seriously and to what extent it can develop.

But he remembered one thing.

In fact, before the reform and opening up, although the mainland's computer and semiconductor technology lagged behind that of foreign countries, the gap was not very large.

The real gap widened after the reform and opening up.

After the concept of "research is not as good as buying" came out, many research projects were abandoned and sealed.

Then it was gradually surpassed.

After all, the iteration and update speed of semiconductors is really too fast.

Moore's Law says so.

The number of transistors that can be accommodated on an integrated circuit doubles approximately every 18 to 24 months.

In other words, processor performance doubles approximately every two years, while prices drop to half their previous level.

There is no need to delay too long, even if it is only three to five years, it will be very difficult to catch up again.

This is high-end technology after all.

It takes time to re-study under lockdown.

"Boss! Which company produced this?"

At this time Spock pointed at the chip in the calculator and asked.

Wang Qingsong looked over after hearing this.

He really couldn't describe this thing.

In fact, if you tell Spock about many of the components in the calculator, he will quickly understand the principles behind them.

However, after thinking about it, he still said.

“Actually, this is an integrated circuit, which is a miniature electronic device or component.

Using a certain process, the transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors and other components and wiring required in a circuit are interconnected and made on a small piece or several small pieces of semiconductor wafers or dielectric substrates, and then packaged in a tube shell to form a microstructure with the required circuit function.

Hearing this, the other party blinked.

Then he asked in disbelief: "Is this the integrated circuit invented by Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce?"

Wang Qingsong nodded lightly.

This thing has actually been invented, but it is still in its infancy and is very large in size.

It was probably researched only two years ago.

"Yes, Jack Kil's research on integrated circuits was based on germanium Ge, while Robert Noyce's research direction was silicon!"

After listening to this, Spock shook his head and said, "Oh my God! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It is impossible to be so small, even if the function is so simple."

Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "Nothing is impossible. Isn't this something that already exists?"

His plan is to relocate this semiconductor factory to the factory area in the future.

Let this guy study it with the information he provided.

It's not really research, it's just finding a way to use the equipment in this world to produce things in this world.

It's not all about moving finished products.

The general direction in the future is to make money while doing scientific research.

This big guy’s talent in research must not be wasted, and it would be best to attract some big guys over.
