Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

If we go to Dalyan to cut the ribbon on a 4-ton die-forging hydraulic press and provide new machine tool products, that only solves the problem of hard processing.

Then, Ren Zhong returned to the electronic industry laboratory in the imperial capital to participate in the appraisal of two new electronic industry achievements. They provided two new integrated circuits, signal amplification and encoding and decoding circuit designs for solving submarine avionics problems. In the future, they may be widely used in signal acquisition and encoding and decoding of sonar and radar types.

These are almost all the top-level electronic industrial technology achievements in the world of Sword. Although for the main world, these are nothing big, and may be realized by embedded chips worth dozens of dollars, but you have to think that this was in the 50s, and the concept of integrated circuits had not yet been formed in the Rogue Eagle!

Thanks to Ren Zhong's unremitting efforts to promote the development of the electronics industry, especially the development of transistors and transistor-based integrated circuits, which have now achieved a blowout, the electronics industry has flourished in the Liming Research Institute.

In 51, under the guidance of the information provided by Ren Zhong, the Electronic Laboratory of the Liming Research Institute realized the integrated circuit technology that integrated resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors into one material, successfully realized the first integrated trigger circuit in germanium crystals, completed industrial precision processing technology, and applied it to some immature electronic circuit experiments, realizing classic circuits such as bridge rectifier circuits, power supply filters, signal filters, differential and integral circuits, common emitter amplifier circuits, and operational amplifier circuits. However, this was far from enough.

Germanium crystals are not a mainstream technology, so according to the trend of transistor development provided by Ren Zhong, the laboratory re-implemented these integrated circuits on silicon crystals. After more than two years of hard work, they finally broke through the full set of industrial processing technologies on silicon crystals and began mass production of commonly used integrated circuit modules with independent functions.

In accordance with the intellectual property agreement after the Cold War, this time, Ren Zhong asked the Liming Research Institute to apply for patents for integrated circuits all over the world, and applied for patents for integrated circuits for televisions, audio equipment, DVD players, VCRs, computers (microcomputers), electronic pianos, communications, cameras, remote control integrated circuits, language integrated circuits, alarms and various common application-specific integrated circuits.

Even though some circuits, such as integrated circuits for computers (microcomputers), are not yet processed at such a sophisticated level that thousands of transistors can be processed on an integrated circuit module, the principles have been figured out clearly enough to apply for a patent.

As a person from the main world, Ren Zhong promoted the drafting and provisional implementation of the Patent Law as early as the second year after liberation (PS: The Patent Protection Regulations of Dongda in the main world were actually issued very early in 1950, but as we all know, they were basically useless after they were changed to public companies, which is a pity.), creating a good environment for Dongda's scientific and technological innovation. It is precisely with this foundation, which is almost the same as the protection clauses of Western patent laws, that the channels for mutual recognition and registration with Western patent laws have been completely unobstructed after the Cold War.

In this way, Ren Zhong took away most of the electronic industry sources, one of the most important technological sources of Rogue Eagle in the main world and time. Starting from transistors, the core patents were all registered by Dongda or the backbone members of the Qianlong Plan who lurked out of Dongda.

They have firmly controlled the core parts of transistor technology and integrated circuit technology. In the future, if the rogue Eagle and the West want to develop the electronics industry, they will not be able to avoid the coverage of these patents.

In this way, Ren Zhong has followed all the paths that Rogue Eagle and the West took in the early stages of the electronics industry, leaving them with no choice but to follow!

This was the core demand made by Ren Zhong after the victory of the Cold War. At that time, it was estimated that few people in the country could see the power of this.

In fact, even now, few people at home or abroad can imagine that in the next few decades, the entire world's electronics industry will be shrouded by the technological patents of the University of Tokyo!

And it's not just the electronics industry.

Proposing intellectual property protection in advance, if we change to the same historical time and space in the main world, opening up intellectual property protection so early is basically suicide, because almost all the major intellectual property rights of modern industry are in the hands of the West.

We have to pay an unbearable price at any point in industrial development, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve industrialization so quickly.

But in this time and space, it’s different.

Whether it is steel metallurgy, daily necessities, electronics industry, even aviation industry, machine tool industry and other industries, the Dawn Research Institute has accumulated a large number of new technologies and new products imported from the main world.

So as soon as the intellectual property protection treaty was opened, Ren Zhong organized the research institute to apply for patents in batches for technologies that were easy to imitate or reverse research, including a large amount of transistor technology.

As a result, the Liming Research Institute and its affiliated research institutes have quietly become the single institution with the most patents in the world!

Even the patent for the product penicillin was registered after many twists and turns.

Although there was a technology exchange with Rogue Eagle in the early stage and the patent collection rights in North America were transferred, the rights in other parts of the world were retained. In this way, even if Rogue Eagle's pharmaceutical factory wants to produce and sell outside North America, they have to pay patent fees to the Biopharmaceutical Research Institute of the Dawn Institute.

Because we have already updated to the second-generation penicillin production technology, if we don't pay the fees, we will have to withdraw from the penicillin industry.

Now, after completing the early technology incubation in the integrated circuit sector, Ren Zhong has finally grasped the source of the largest source of revenue in the future technology years.

The core of the IT industry and the core intellectual property of IC technology are now included in this batch of patent applications.

In fact, it’s not just about business benefits. In terms of reputation, these technologies are worthy of winning the Nobel Prize.

Therefore, after much deliberation and consideration, the research team listed Ren Zhong as the co-inventor of this technology, because the project team believed that the core technical ideas were provided by Ren Zhong, and it would be unreasonable if Ren Zhong was not listed as the co-inventor.

No one is ashamed to acknowledge the discovery of this technology.

Considering the need to establish some technical authority in the future, Ren Zhong thought carefully about all this and decided to take on inventions in the electronics industry in order to seize the initiative in the future world IT industry.

However, when it comes to inventors in other industries, Ren Zhong resolutely refused to be listed as one of them, and instead gave all the credits to the main project leaders and technical backbones, although this was a bit unfair to him as the person who came up with most of the ideas.

But Ren Zhong does not need to be deified. Just the title of the world's number one in the IT industry is enough to inspire awe.

Any more and it might not be a good thing but a disaster. The ancient wisdom that too much is as bad as too little and the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind still exists today.

From the perspective of the future development of science and technology as a whole, Ren Zhong also feels that such dispersion will be more conducive to establishing a series of industry technology leaders for Dongda, which will of course be of great benefit to enhancing our global status. In this way, all aspects of Dongda's revival will be fully demonstrated.

What's more, these project leaders and core members are themselves the best and greatest of their time. Except for key figures who particularly need to be kept confidential, such as national treasure-level experts like Professor Qian and Professor Wu, other non-sensitive experts who are more civilian-oriented took advantage of this time to promote them. Ren Zhong doesn't feel at all that they are taking away his glory.

Only when masters emerge in large numbers and technology explodes can it be regarded as a sign that the University of Tokyo has once again reached the top in the world.

Let more people in the world recognize how great the newly revived Tokyo University is!

The surge in major inventions will also help us establish an image of a high-end brand in future competition in the world market. It can be said that the benefits are too numerous to count!
So this is something that Ren Zhong has been promoting since the signing of the new post-war agreement. So far, in more than a year, he has registered tens of thousands of important basic patents for the Liming Research Institute and its various research centers, whether in the electronics industry or key industries such as machine tools, aviation, railways, machinery, metallurgy, and chemicals. Ren Zhong has registered patents for many key new technologies, new materials, and new products developed in the main world from the 60s to the 80s.

Of course, considering the balance of the global layout, some patents are also supported through other channels to the Qianlong plan, ensuring that there are also some patents in the Western world, which makes it seem not so hopeless and prevents the West from turning the table and stopping patent protection.

It is precisely because of such a strong accumulation of the electronics industry, and by learning from the Rogue Eagle of the main world, that most of the core integrated circuit modules used in the current generation of relatively primitive sonar and avionics systems have already had mature designs and processing. Relying on the existing integrated circuit technology of the Bright Sword world, we have been able to design and produce a batch of decoding integrated circuits with lower computational complexity.

In this way, in the design of sonar and radar in the world of Liangjian, most of the circuits have been locally developed and manufactured. As long as the dedicated encoding and decoding chips require high computing power, Ren Zhong can continue to purchase some professional decoding chips from the main world for coordinated use.

Through the integration of the technologies of the two worlds, Ren Zhong only needs to bring in some key chips or circuit boards from the main world, which greatly reduces the amount of electronics that need to be brought in from the main world. This is the only way to support the huge demand of Dongda's electronic industry. After all, if it is just chips, Ren Zhong can bring in thousands of integrated chips at a time, while if it is a mainboard, such as a computer motherboard, he can only bring dozens of them. This is a completely order of magnitude relationship.

Only by achieving mass production of integrated circuit modules in the world of Liangjian can we truly get rid of our complete reliance on Ren Zhong for purchasing from the main world and achieve autonomy in manufacturing quantities for terminal products such as torpedoes that require mass production.

As for mass-produced electronic products such as televisions, radios and stereos, they cannot rely on purchasing from the main world to support development. Instead, they must rely on the current integrated circuit technology of the Bright Sword world to redesign a new generation of products based on existing conditions.

However, when getting involved in the avionics and sonar research of submarines, Ren Zhong discovered that having the foundation did not mean it could be done easily.

The equipment needed for a modern submarine in terms of sonar alone is not enough to solve the problem from the perspective of submarines in the main world. The sonar equipment installed on the Virginia-class attack nuclear submarine includes the bow active/passive sonar, BQG=5A three-element array side light wide-aperture passive ranging sonar, TB-16D thick-line towed array sonar, TB-29A passive thin-line towed array sonar and WLY-1 acoustic detector. With so many sonar equipment, it can capture underwater and surface target activities from a long distance in the deep sea.

With so many subsystems, most of them are kept highly confidential. In this regard, Ren Zhong can no longer get much useful information. The closer to modern things are, the more difficult they are to deal with.

Of course, this is the latest level of attack nuclear submarine of Rogue Eagle in the main world. Compared with the 50s, the technological gap is too big and there is no comparison at all.

Of course it is impossible for the first generation of big black fish in the University of Tokyo to be so complete. If that were the case, it would probably take fifty years to accomplish!
Therefore, in Ren Zhong's opinion, the main/passive sonar at the bow is a must, and it would be best to have a set of towed array sonar, which can greatly increase the distance for detecting enemy targets. Relying solely on the main/passive sonar at the bow is like a nearsighted person, and it may be necessary to get close to the target to sense it.

But with a towed array sonar, the detection distance may be increased several times.

The sonar technology is relatively good, and there are many private companies involved in sonar technology. Ren Zhong spends money and hires people to organize the information obtained from the main world to support the sonar team in quickly achieving their goals.

Of course, the effect cannot be compared with the advanced radars in the main world, and Ren Zhong has no high hopes. As long as he can achieve the effect of the 1960s and 1970s, he will be satisfied. Being one step ahead of the opponent is a fatal step.

The avionics part is the problem.

According to the avionics system configuration of the Virginia-class attack nuclear submarine, there are AN/WLY-1 underwater warning/countermeasures system, AN/BLQ-10 radar antenna, AN/BSY-3 combat system, GPS electronic mast, high data exchange rate mast that can transmit target data required for ground weapons from satellite at high speed, radio transceiver mast and 2 AN/BVS-1 optoelectronic search/attack periscope mast sets with adjustable missions.

Frankly speaking, Ren Zhong can’t understand these things. It’s enough for him to roughly understand what the functions are from the literal meaning.

Therefore, it is not advisable to be too ahead of the times and try to touch the most advanced model of the Rogue Eagle.

We still have to be down-to-earth. Ren Zhong placed the main part of the submarine on the Manta-class nuclear submarine, but began to refer to the Sturgeon-class avionics on the submarine. After all, the current foundation can basically meet the requirements of the Sturgeon-class.

This Rogue Hawk is an attack nuclear submarine developed in the 2s. Its main sonar is Raytheon's AN/BQQ-4.6 low-frequency active/passive search and attack integrated sonar. The sonar body is the AN/BQS-6 active sonar spherical array with a diameter of 7 meters installed on the bow, and the strip AN/BQR- passive sonar array arranged on both sides from the bow to the front main ballast tank.

In terms of avionics, the Sturgeon-class attack nuclear submarine is equipped with Sperry's BPS-15 or Raytheon's BPS-14 surface search/navigation/fire control radar, I/J band; it is equipped with a MK117 torpedo fire control system, and countermeasures include Emerson Electric's MK2 torpedo decoy launcher, WLQ-4 radar early warning equipment, search and attack periscopes, ultra-high frequency communication antennas, and more than 4 direction-finding antennas and electronic reconnaissance antennas. It is also equipped with a communication whip antenna and a floating antenna.

Relatively speaking, these technologies are relatively close to the current capabilities. After all, these technologies are very old, and there are a lot of related introductory articles and materials. Many things are outdated. More detailed information can be obtained through libraries or other channels.

As long as Ren Zhong is willing to pay more!

If it is just a matter of spending some money, this aspect would certainly not be a big problem. Under the guise of studying the history of certain technological developments, Ren Zhong discovered that universities are sometimes a very good platform. After searching around, he actually found a lot of useful information in this area.

For example, there are good things like system maintenance manuals, instruction manuals, and principle introduction papers.

In this way, Ren Zhong provided guidance to the research team on the general direction of technological development. However, due to the limitations of the times, there were no computer applications on the Sturgeon-class attack nuclear submarines at that time. After transistor computers were developed in the world of Bright Sword, Ren Zhong felt that avionics could not be so sloppy, with mechanical instruments everywhere.

We must apply the advantages of computer technology to the avionics of these submarines.

However, as to how to apply it, Ren Zhong could only learn from the rogue eagle, as he himself knew nothing about it.

Now, in the world of Sword, the computer technology of the University of Tokyo is far ahead of the world. Apart from other things, its transistor computers are at least one generation ahead of the Rogue Eagle, and its computing speed is more than an order of magnitude. Compared with the human brain, it is far superior to the human brain in computing.

On a single combat platform like a submarine that requires large amounts of data calculations, Ren Zhong certainly hopes to embed more computer functions into it to enhance combat effectiveness.

In this way, when processing sonar detection data, even if the enemy's reaction speed is a little faster, you can gain an advantage in battle and open fire on the enemy first!
Of course, this transistor computer is much weaker than the computers in the main world.

But in this era, it is still enough. We are not using transistor computers for games nowadays. It is enough to meet the basic detection data calculation.

With the invention of LED manufacturing technology and the use of large-scale LED display instruments, Ren Zhong redesigned the instruments for the submarine and replaced a large number of mechanical instruments in the cockpit.

This way, more space is left in the cockpit to accommodate more new functions.

Make full use of transistor computers to achieve a leap in the level of informatization.

With the extensive use of CRT monitors, the display part of the avionics system is now much more intuitive.

When the enemy displays a target on the screen, you can already visually see the target's relative distance and position on the screen.

For the commander, this greatly improves the ability to intuitively display the battlefield, which is equivalent to making a battlefield sand table for him in the submarine.

It has to be said that even though Ren Zhong had no experience at all, he could gain experience by copying the layout of other people's command cabins in the main world.

After working hard to move the layout of the main world over, and then considering how to make good use of the technology of the Bright Sword world to realize it, Ren Zhong was able to create a quasi-modern command cabin in the 50s. This was a great sense of accomplishment.
