Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 186 Obtaining technical information and placing cesium 137 in the "God's Toilet"
Because of the constant traffic jams, Wang Jiankun found an underground parking lot in the outer ring area of ​​Tokyo to park his car, and then modified a motorcycle inside to ride on the road.

Motorcycles are much more convenient to drive than cars, especially in the congested Tokyo. He drove straight to Waseda University without stopping, following the map and street signs.

Waseda University is a world-renowned comprehensive private research university. Its predecessor was the "Tokyo Special School" founded in 1882. It was officially renamed "Waseda University" in 1902. It was founded by Shigenobu Okuma, one of the founding fathers of the Meiji Restoration and former Prime Minister.

Wang Jiankun came to this university mainly to obtain more basic technical information and international research frontiers, and Waseda University in Japan is a good place to obtain it. It has a very high degree of internationalization and is one of the universities in Japan that accepts the largest number of international students. At this time, there are many international students from China studying at this university.

It was summer vacation at Waseda University, and most of the undergraduates had left the school. However, there were 20 graduate schools on campus, and most of the graduate students and some scientific research tutors were still in the school.

Wang Jiankun entered the school very easily. Bicycles were allowed inside, so Wang Jiankun didn't have to walk to the research institutes.

According to the information on the sign at the school gate, Wang Jiankun first came to the Institute of Chemistry. At this time, some of the laboratory doors were ajar, and a faint smell of chemical drugs wafted out from the gaps. Wang Jiankun saw from the window that students wearing lab hats were concentrating on operating microscopes and various precision instruments, discussing experimental data in a low voice, their brows were furrowed, revealing their awe and pursuit of science.

The various analytical instruments inside are very advanced, including UV-visible spectrophotometers and infrared spectrometers, which can use the characteristic spectra of different spectral analysis methods to perform qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis of spectral intensity; potentiometric titrators, polarographs, etc., which perform analysis by measuring the electrochemical properties of substances; gas chromatographs, liquid chromatographs, etc., which separate and analyze different substances based on the differences in the distribution coefficients between the stationary phase and the mobile phase; mass spectrometers, which can be used to determine the molecular weight, structure and other information of substances; differential thermal analyzers, thermogravimetric analyzers, etc., which analyze the properties of substances by measuring the thermal effects of substances during heating or cooling.

These analytical instruments are not only of many types, but also in large quantities. Most scientific research groups have their own fixed instruments, unlike those in domestic research institutes, where some instruments not only have much worse performance, but there are only one or two in the entire school or institute. Each time they are used, an application must be made and the team has to queue up. This indirectly leads to the fact that the research speed in China is much slower than that in foreign countries.

Seeing so many good things, Wang Jiankun certainly would not let them go. He used his superpowers to project them into his mind one by one. Now he has no shortage of personnel who can use these advanced instruments. As the testing of the first batch of mass-produced new humans is gradually coming to an end, he will subsequently mass-produce new human researchers and let them be responsible for tracking the progress of foreign research. At the same time, they will also carry out scientific research transformation for the development of his three major enterprises and domestic productivity.

At the Institute of Chemistry, he also saw many chemical reagents he had never seen before and the chemicals they produced. For example, there was a laboratory that was researching the latest photoresist.

According to the data from this laboratory, this photoresist can already be used in the production of nanoscale semiconductors. If the data is correct, it is very suitable for the production of 800-nanometer semiconductors.

At that time, the chip process that Xingyao Electronics could mass-produce was only 5 microns, so Wang Jiankun still used conventional domestic technology. Although he also copied the basic chemical material polyvinyl cinnamate discovered by Kodak in the United States, Wang Jiankun did not think much about this aspect at the time. He just asked Zhizi to optimize it based on various public information and then provide it to Xingyao Electronics for production.

Now that we see that this laboratory in Japan is actually researching such advanced photoresist, we should first get the technology.

Judging from the research progress of this photoresist, I wonder what stage the Japanese semiconductor companies have reached in their manufacturing process, and whether they are ready for mass production of nano-scale chips.

So after leaving the chemistry laboratory, Wang Jiankun went to the optical laboratory, where he found that they were only conducting some basic optical research. The lenses were provided by other companies. From the account records inside, he found that they were provided to this laboratory by a company called Nikon, which commissioned them to conduct research on these lenses.

Wang Jiankun knows some basic information about Nikon. Public information shows that it is a well-known camera and optical equipment manufacturer with a history dating back to 1917, when three Japanese optical companies merged to form Nippon Kogaku KK.

1917 - 1945: Optical research and production began. During this period, Nikon was mainly engaged in the research and development and manufacturing of military and industrial optical instruments, such as telescopes, microscopes, measuring instruments, etc. It also began to produce its own lenses, such as the Aero-Nikkor aerial photography lens in 1932 and the Nikkor-S series lens in 1936.

1946 - 1959: Development of the camera business. It launched the first 1948mm film camera, the Nikon I, in 35, followed by the improved Nikon M in 1950 and the Nikon S in 1952. In particular, the Nikon F SLR camera launched in 1959 ushered in a new era of SLR cameras and became a benchmark in the field of professional photography.

1960 - 1979: Diversification and international expansion began. During this period, Nikon continued to improve its camera and lens product lines, and entered the fields of microphotography, astronomical photography, medical photography, etc. At the same time, it strengthened its international market competitiveness, established subsidiaries Nikon Inc. in the United States in 1962, and Nikon AG in Europe in 1971, and actively participated in major photography projects and activities.

Because of its solid foundation in optical instrument manufacturing, Nikon's lithography machine development has been very smooth. According to current data, its lithography machines account for about 40% of the world market today, and the other 60% is occupied by Japan's Canon and several companies in the United States. Moreover, according to data from the United States, Nikon's lithography machine market share is still expanding, and American companies' lithography machines are gradually falling behind in the competition.

However, Wang Jiankun was unable to visit Nikon's headquarters this time because it is too far from Tokyo. It is located in a small town in Miyagi Prefecture, more than 4 kilometers away from Tokyo. The manufacturing plant is in Sendai, more than 100 kilometers to the south. Yes, it is where Mr. Lu Xun stayed when he studied in Japan.

However, you can't go to Nikon. Another company that also produces photolithography machines, Canon, is located at 30-2 Shimomaruko -chome, Ota-ku, Tokyo.

After Wang Jiankun finished projecting all the research institutes in Waseda, he went to visit several libraries in the school and projected all the information inside into his mind. Tomoko then turned into a translator and translated the projected information into English and Chinese for Wang Jiankun's future use.

After visiting Waseda University, Wang Jiankun rode his motorcycle to Canon.

It was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so Wang Jiankun had to hurry up, as it would be troublesome to wait until after get off work to go in.

After arriving at Canon's headquarters, Wang Jiankun used the same old trick and copied several sets of internal personnel information of the company. He then went in after a change of appearance. In its exhibition hall, Wang Jiankun could not help but feel ashamed of his narrow vision.

Canon is also a diversified company. The lithography machine business accounts for less than 10% of its internal business. Currently, Canon's most profitable business is still in the imaging business, printing and copying, etc. In addition to these businesses, it also has a very high market share in the printing business and medical business.

The main products include cameras and lenses, digital cameras, printers, copiers, fax machines, scanners, broadcasting equipment, medical equipment and semiconductor production equipment.

Looking at their performance in the first half of the year, Wang Jiankun knew that he had come to the right place. It seemed that he should come to Japan more often in the future. The companies here were making huge profits all over the world, and they had begun to suppress the United States, their master. Domestic companies could copy their homework in the future. Although he did not have enough energy to master each technology, he could act as a starter and copy the key technologies and provide them to domestic companies. At the same time, he could create some new humans with different skill packages to participate in the development of these companies.

For example, the Wangjia Production Team will not be able to continue producing simple industrial products such as lighters in the future. Restricted by the terrain and resources of their hometown, they must develop high-profit industries in the future. According to Canon's business statements, the optical industry seems to be quite good.

Although the people in his hometown are not well educated and cannot do research and development, they can produce optical devices. After visiting the small pilot factory at Canon headquarters, Wang Jiankun learned that it is no longer necessary to have a master craftsman to manufacture these lenses. Machines are now used for production. People only need to conduct visual inspections from time to time and adjust the instrument parameters according to the operating specifications. This production method is more suitable for his hometown. Most of the middle-aged people have been literate and know basic words and numbers, and the young people have basically graduated from elementary school, so there is no problem in operating the machine production. The worst case scenario is that it takes more time.

Moreover, the optical components and products are very small and light, which greatly reduces the difficulty of transportation.

Therefore, Wang Jiankun is very concerned about Canon and has projected all the big and small places in the headquarters. If necessary, he can actually be responsible for another Canon headquarters on a 1:1 basis.

After touring the headquarters, he learned that Canon had several production bases in Tokyo, which were not far from here, and that these factories had night shifts, so he rushed to the production bases despite being tired.

The first base we arrived at was one that mainly produced printers and copiers.

As night falls, Canon's printer and copier production factory is still brightly lit. Inside the huge factory, the roar of machine tools and the sound of equipment running interweave into a symphony of modern industry. The workers are wearing uniform work clothes and are busy at their respective posts with focused expressions.

On the assembly line, parts are assembled precisely by skilled workers to form brand new printers and copiers. Under the lights, the metal shells of these machines reflect a cold light, like soldiers in the future lined up ready to go.

The staff in the quality inspection area carefully checked the functions and details of each machine and recorded the data meticulously to ensure that they could meet Canon's consistent high standards. Occasionally, the "clicking" sound of the printer and the light sound of the paper flipping in the copier could be heard, as if these machines were whispering to each other at night.

In the office, several engineers stared at the computer screen, analyzing production data, typing on the keyboard from time to time, or giving guidance on problems on the production line. Their eyes were sometimes solemn, and sometimes they showed satisfied smiles, showing their determination to strictly control product quality.

The few figures in the rest area sat there quietly, some taking a nap with their heads down, some talking to each other in low voices, tired but full of energy. The ticking of the clock on the wall reminded them that it was late at night, but their enthusiasm for work made them forget the passage of time.

The night shift is hard but orderly, with every employee silently working hard at their post and contributing to the company's development. They may not be the brightest stars in the city, but it is these little stars that gather together to form the dazzling night scene of Canon's modern factory.

Since they have to compete with European and American companies in the market, the production departments of Canon and even most Japanese companies have to work overtime at night. In this modern factory, Wang Jiankun not only saw many advanced equipment, but also saw the efforts of the Japanese nation.

He not only projected the equipment inside into his mind, but also projected various plans and rules and regulations within the factory. These are the soft power of a factory and will be of great reference significance to domestic enterprises in the future.

That night, Wang Jiankun also went to two other places. At the photolithography machine production base, he saw Canon's most advanced 1.5-micron precision photolithography machine being debugged. Judging from its debugging progress and mass production schedule, it is expected to be put on the market at the end of 84 or 85. At another heavily guarded place, Wang Jiankun saw satellite lenses and CCD components produced for the US military. CCD is the abbreviation of "Charge-Coupled Device", which is a commonly used image sensor technology widely used in digital cameras, video cameras, scanners, astronomical telescopes and other fields.

The working principle of CCD is that it is composed of many photosensitive units. When the CCD surface is exposed to light, each photosensitive unit will reflect the charge on the component. The signals generated by all photosensitive units are added together to form a complete picture.

CCD has some remarkable features, such as mature technology, high imaging quality, high sensitivity and low noise, large dynamic range, fast response speed, self-scanning function, small image distortion and no residual image, and it is also produced by using ultra-large-scale integrated circuit process technology, with high pixel integration and precise size. There are many indicators to evaluate the quality of CCD sensors, and important indicators include the number of pixels and CCD size. The more pixels there are, the clearer the picture will usually be.

The camera system he currently installs on his high-altitude airship uses CCD, but because it is based on components on some publicly sold scanners, the performance is not very good. Now that he has seen this highly integrated CCD, Wang Jiankun is very happy, as it will be very useful for his satellite plan next year.

He packed up everything in the base and threw it out. Because time was tight, he didn't have time to look at them one by one. He would sort them out after he returned, keeping the useful ones and getting rid of the useless ones.

Near dawn, Wang Jiankun left the base and rode a motorcycle to the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, where he was going to place some atomic flames to turn it into a highly radioactive place.

Yasukuni Shrine is located in Kudankita, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, covering an area of ​​more than 10 square meters. It was first built in 1869 (the second year of the Meiji Restoration) and was originally called "Tokyo Shrine". In 1879, it was renamed "Yasukuni Shrine". It worships the souls who died in wars since the Meiji Restoration, most of which were foreign invasion wars. In particular, many war criminals who invaded China are enshrined there. Since Wang Jiankun came here, it would be a shame if he didn't leave something.

Moreover, those who come to offer sacrifices are either the descendants of these war criminals or some high-ranking political officials, so there will definitely be no accidental injuries.

After arriving at the Yasukuni Shrine, Wang Jiankun first observed the architectural layout here. He hoped to maximize the radiation effect.

From the overall layout, the Yasukuni Shrine has the main hall, the worship hall, the Hoanden and the Yushukan on the right. At the southern entrance stands a 25-meter-high and 34-meter-long bronze archway (commonly known as the "Torii"), not far away is the statue of Omura Masujiro, one of the founders of the modern Japanese Army, and the main building complex such as the worship hall is in the backyard.

This time he brought 600 grams of cesium 137 (Cs137), which is a product of the fission of uranium 235. The nuclear reactors at the domestic base and the northern Myanmar base produce this element every day. Now it is recycled as waste. It has a half-life of 33 years, an average energy of 0.661MeV, and a small specific activity. It is often used in industry for flaw detection and is suitable for penetrating steel plates with a thickness of 15 - 100mm.

After observing the terrain and building conditions, he used his supernatural powers to divide the 600 grams of cesium 137 into 300 grams and placed it on the statue of Omura Masujiro, because this is the place where everyone who comes here will worship. In addition, 100 grams were placed in the Honden, the Haiden, and the Hoanden. In the future, if Japanese people come here to worship occasionally, their bodies may heal themselves. If they come here to worship frequently, they will sooner or later get cancer or sepsis.

But it is what they deserve. Those who often come here to worship must be remnants of the group, and it is only natural that they have contracted an incurable disease.

After finishing this matter, Wang Jiankun returned to the basement where the car was parked, disassembled the motorcycle, and then rested in the car for more than two hours. After daybreak, he drove the car to Mount Fuji.

When they arrived at the foot of Mount Fuji, Wang Jiankun returned the car to Watanabe, and then walked to the top of Mount Fuji with a head full of technical information.
