In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 138: This thing, 300 dollars! This is not the way to rob money
"You kid is really here!"

Just as Xie Wei finished fooling Li Rui, Du Guowang swaggered in from outside and looked at Xie Wei with displeasure, "You came back from Rongcheng and didn't even report home!"

"..."

Xie Wei looked at Du Guowang speechlessly.

I don’t know how to explain it.

She said that she went to Feng Bingyi's drone project team, and was kept there by Feng Bingyi until after 1 a.m. before returning to the dormitory?

Du Guowang will be furious.

"Comrade Guowang, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't you see that Xie Wei is busy?"

Principal Li was very dissatisfied with the fact that Du Guowang didn't even knock on the door and didn't give him the respect he deserved as a principal when he didn't ask for help or funding.

“No matter how busy you are, it’s not as busy as our CNC system!”

"..."

Du Guowang's purpose of coming made Xie Wei instantly feel overwhelmed.

Whether it is a CNC numerical control system or a PLC programmable controller project, it is very urgent.

Harbin Yiji has been urging us for a long time.

The previous chip problem was not solved, which slowed down the progress of the project. The chip problem was solved before the Chinese New Year. For a long time, Xie Wei had no time and energy to devote to the projects of the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department.

Du Guowang had already been very unhappy.

"Whether it's the PLC programmable controller or the CNC numerical control system, they are all projects based on your thesis. Do you think it's appropriate for you not to participate now?"

"Inappropriate!"

"very suitable!"

Xie Wei and Li Rui answered almost in unison.

After saying that, the two looked at each other. A bitter smile appeared on Xie Wei's face, and on Li Rui's face, that smile...

Du Guowang ignored Li Rui and directly pulled Xie Wei outside.

Li Rui didn't stop him.

"Director Du, I may not be able to participate in these two projects during this period..."

After Du Guowang let go of Xie Wei's arm, Xie Wei explained to Du Guowang while rubbing his painful arm.

Winter is still better.

The whole body is wrapped tightly, so the arms will not be hurt by Du Guowang's pinching.

"Don't give me that! If you don't get involved, what does this project have to do with you? What are you thinking about all day? Although you don't spend much time on it, you've contributed a lot. All the newly designed sensors, logic control units, circuits, etc. all have your suggestions... It looks like it's almost successful now!"

At this time, Du Guowang did not hide anything.

"..."

Xie Wei looked at Du Guowang in surprise.

My thoughts suddenly became complicated.

The difference between university professors these days and those who treat students as cattle and horses and arbitrarily seize students' achievements decades later...

"Also, you want Chengdu to produce PLC and CNC systems. If the project results have nothing to do with you, why do you think Chengdu can get them? Just because you are a consultant who is not worthy of being on the stage for the school-enterprise relationship?"

Without waiting for Xie Wei to speak, Du Guowang added.

The achievement originally belonged to Xie Wei.

So far, none of the related papers written by Xie Wei have been sent out, and all of them are kept in the school.

Although they have not been published, these papers have directly led to the development of related products and the transformation of results.

It is not enough for the school to simply raise funds on its own, set up projects independently, or use the school-enterprise partnership as an excuse.

"Director Du, it's not that I don't want to. The troops have given us a mission..."

Xie Wei didn't know how to explain.

Feng Bingyi's attitude yesterday already demonstrated the troops' urgent need for large-mobility drones.

As a person with experience, Xie Wei did not know that after the Changkong-5 and WZ- target aircrafts in the th century, the military had not independently developed single-function target aircrafts for various air-to-air and surface-to-air missile tests.

Whether it is Changkong-15 or Changhong-9, for PL-, Hongqi-, etc., it is like using anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes.

The value of a target drone is even far less than that of the PL-15 ultra-long-range air-to-air missile, not to mention the Hongqi-9 air defense missile.

"The army gives the school tasks, which is like casting a wide net! It would be even better if there are results."

Du Guowang raised his eyebrows.

Xie Wei was stunned.

Not so!

"Don't disbelieve me. After you first proposed it, the army went back to study it for a few days. A Changkong No. 200 costs hundreds of thousands, but they gave the school 200 million yuan. Do you think Li Rui doesn't know that million yuan is a drop in the bucket for improving Changkong No. ?"

"..."

Xie Wei didn't know what to say.

Maybe what Du Guowang said was right, but it was really hard for him to accept it.

"Even if it is developed, the army has no money to purchase it. Besides, the basic supporting facilities cannot keep up, so even if it is designed, it cannot be manufactured. Changkong No. 1 has been equipped to the army for more than ten years. Do you think the army is not aware of the difficulty of improvement?"

Du Guowang reminded Xie Wei with a serious face, "I find that you are too busy now and have begun to lose track of the important things."

These words were like a bolt of lightning that instantly struck Xie Wei's head.

The whole person was stunned.

During this period of time, I seem to have become more and more impatient.

"It's not just the project of the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, but also the calculator you asked Yu Guofeng to help you make. It's also at a critical stage. You didn't prioritize it when you saw it was about to succeed, and put your energy into other areas. What's the result? Xie Wei, you have to understand that no matter how talented you are in various fields, human energy is limited!"

Du Guowang said this and said nothing more.

The reason for reminding Xie Wei was not because Xie Wei had not participated in the projects of the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department, but because Xie Wei began to become impatient.

Now they are just small projects that require little energy, time and funds.

Xie Wei had already begun to grope in confusion.

No plans of my own.

How to carry out big projects in the future?
"By the way, you have to figure out your own position. Are you going to take the research route or the management route in the future? Both routes are different. If you want to take the research route, determine the direction as soon as possible. Don't waste time on other irrelevant things."

Seeing Xie Wei fell into deep thought, Du Guowang left after saying this.

Xie Wei was left there to think alone.

He dragged Xie Wei out just to remind Xie Wei, so naturally he found a place where there were few people.

It was not until lunchtime that Xie Wei came back to his senses. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, then went back to the dormitory to get his lunch box.

I have to say that Du Guowang’s reminder was very timely.

Since entering the school last year, Xie Wei, who had rich experience in management and technical research and development, has always felt that he can fully grasp anything.

But the result?

As the class monitor, it has been almost two months since the start of the school year, and I have not appeared in class.

I am dragged down by various things all day long instead of taking the initiative to solve various problems.

"Sixth brother, are you not busy anymore?"

Seeing Xie Wei studying with a textbook in the dormitory after dinner, several classmates who were preparing to take a nap were also surprised.

"Of course I can't not be busy! I can't give up studying."

Xie Wei replied, "I will go to the classroom with you guys later."

After Du Guowang's reminder, Xie Wei finally understood. No matter how anxious he was, as long as the basic layout was completed, everything would have to wait. If he interfered with everything, it would have a counterproductive effect in areas he was not familiar with.

The status of classmates is also important.

These are the basis for accelerating progress in the future.

The school saw the effectiveness of the experimental class and selected 77 students from the class of 13 who had strong learning ability, good foundation and willingness to join.

It doesn’t matter whether you graduate early or late to students in the experimental class.

In the afternoon, Xie Wei had Liang Hongbin’s class on mechanical engineering. Although he had studied it before and found it very convenient to use, he found that when he attended the class again, it gave him new ideas, which was completely different from his previous experience.

After the class, Xie Wei still felt unsatisfied.

Although Liang Hongbin was surprised, he did not comment on Xie Wei's sudden appearance in his class. He packed up his things and left after class without even asking the students if they had any questions.

He has a lot of work on hand.

After class, Xie Wei found Chen Haowen, who entered the experimental class in 77. He was the invisible leader of the experimental class in 77.

"Go for a walk?"

Xie Wei took the initiative to speak.

Chen Haowen is much older than Xie Wei, but younger than Zhang Jingyan.

"Let's take a walk."

Chen Haowen turned his head and glanced at his classmates, especially those from Class 77, many of whom had expectant looks on their faces.

Coming out of the classroom, the two walked towards the school building.

"Thank you, no."

Chen Haowen waved his hand in response to the cigarette that Xie Wei handed over. He had been thinking about what Xie Wei wanted to say to him and how he should respond.

Xie Wei lit a cigarette, extinguished the flame, and threw the matchstick to the side of the road.

"I was in charge of the experimental class's participation in the project. I had this idea at first because, on the one hand, most of my classmates were educated youth, some of whom had already started families. After losing their strong labor force at home, their lives were very difficult. On the other hand, I was originally a technician in a factory. Although I went to college, I couldn't completely give up some of the work in the factory. There was a shortage of people for various projects, so everyone was learning while working..."

Chen Haowen didn't say anything.

Just listen quietly.

"You should have understood the situation after entering the experimental class, so I won't say more. When you are free, please help me count the subjects and directions that the new students in the experimental class are interested in. I will help them contact the project and the tutor as soon as possible..."

"why?"

Chen Haowen finally spoke.

"what why?"

Xie Wei turned his head and asked calmly.

"Although we also took the college entrance examination, the questions were not unified across the country; although entering the experimental class was also a school-wide assessment, the entrance examination questions were not as abnormal as yours, and we even had an extra year to study..."

What Chen Haowen said were the fundamental reasons for the conflicts between the students in the experimental class of 78 and the students in 77.

"Is it important?"

"Why isn't it important?"

Chen Haowen looked at Xie Wei in surprise.

They had heard of the class monitor Xie Wei before entering the experimental class, and some of them had even met him.

But two months after they entered the experimental class, the conflict between the two sides became increasingly serious. Deputy monitor Mo Lingyu was unable to intervene, and Xie Wei did not show up.

It’s okay to say this to yourself right now!

"If it wasn't important, this wouldn't be the case in the class. Those who were able to get in were top students in their respective majors, but because the teaching mode was different from that of the experimental class, the level of the teachers was also different..."

Chen Haowen explained.

Xie Wei interrupted him, "Actually, you think too much. The experimental class has two classes in the morning and one class in the afternoon. After the afternoon class, we have to go back to the laboratory... We come out of the laboratory at 10 pm and basically study until 1:30 or even 2 am..."

"..."

The whole school knows about the situation.

Chen Haowen didn't understand why Xie Wei said this.

"They don't have the time. It's not that Mo Lingyu and the others are unwilling to arrange for you to join the project team, but they have no choice..."

Xie Wei explained why Mo Lingyu was unable to arrange for the students from Class 77 who were in the experimental class to participate in the project.

Chen Haowen obviously didn't believe it.

Xie Wei did not explain any more. He looked at Chen Haowen and told him seriously: "Student Chen, I hope you can convey this to students who don't know. If you are interested in studying abroad or taking the administrative route, it is best not to participate in the project. In addition, the experimental class is a continuous study in the institute, but there is no set graduation time..."

These news will not be officially made public.

But it concerns everyone's vital interests. "Two people have already left the class, just because of this?"

Chen Haowen asked Xie Wei.

"League Secretary Wei Bingkun is going abroad. He will be in the next batch of people going abroad. The other one is participating in a project in another place. He is still a classmate and will come back after a while."

Xie Wei gave a brief explanation.

Although Chen Haowen still showed that he didn't quite believe Xie Wei, after Xie Wei said this, his resistance was much less.

"Okay, go ahead, I have something to do."

Regardless of the fact that Chen Haowen had a lot of questions in his head that weren't answered, he walked straight towards the school headquarters building.

It took Chen Haowen a while to come back to his senses and realize that he had actually arrived at the entrance of the school building.

Nima!

He said he wanted to take a walk and asked me to accompany him to the school building.

Xie Wei had already reached his destination. He had to go back to study and return to the classroom from here.

Is the monitor so shameless?
In an instant, Chen Haowen's mind became relaxed.

"Hey, Chen Haowen, are you here to see me?"

Just as Chen Haowen was grinning bitterly and despising Xie Wei's shamelessness, Luo Yang happened to walk out of the school building.

"No, I'm sending the squad leader here."

"Oh?"

Luo Yang looked puzzled. Xie Wei needed someone to take him to the school building?

I didn’t see Xie Wei either.

He never expected that Xie Wei saw him as soon as he entered the door and decisively dodged away.

Thinking about the situation in the class, he suddenly felt that it would be a good thing for Chen Haowen to talk more with Xie Wei, which could solve the conflict in the class. He said, "It just so happens that I have something to talk to you about. Let's talk while we walk."

······
"I'm not available at the moment, what do you mean?"

Feng Bingyi asked Xie Wei, who had a serious face, in confusion.

I just told Xie Wei yesterday that the project to improve Changkong No. 1 was very urgent and the troops needed it desperately. Feng Bingyi was a little unhappy that he only came this afternoon.

Now I tell myself that I don’t have time for the time being.

"During this period, I don't think I have time to study with the drone team..."

"why?"

Feng Bingyi's brows were knitted together.

"Professor Feng, the army's needs are indeed very urgent, and I understand that. However, several small projects that I lead at the school are currently at a critical moment, and I need to resolve these projects first. Otherwise, if several projects are carried out at the same time, my energy will be dispersed."

Although Xie Wei was explaining, his tone was very firm.

You can't do what the other person asks just because he or she is a big shot.

It doesn’t matter whether there are results or not.

Several of the school’s current projects are related to subsequent projects, especially the calculator. Once successfully developed, the existing team will be used as a basis to increase calculator functions, etc.

Needless to say, the importance of CNC systems.

The CNC system can be regarded as the most basic industrial robot, which controls the actions of various systems of machine tool equipment through programs.

Artificial intelligence, drones, robots, etc. will dominate the world in the future, but their programs will be larger and their functions will be more complete.

"how much time is required?"

Seeing Xie Wei's firm attitude, Feng Bingyi wanted to ask him to give up other projects first, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate.

Relatively speaking, the drone team needs Xie Wei's ideas, but Xie Wei's drone technology and experience cannot compare with those of the people in the team, at least Feng Bingyi thinks so.

"Not sure yet. It shouldn't be long."

Xie Wei shook his head.

He had no idea how much time it would take.

"Okay, finish the work at hand as soon as possible."

Feng Bingyi had no choice but to accept it.

After watching Xie Wei finish his words and turn away without even stopping, he sighed silently.

"From the beginning, I said we shouldn't push too hard. The troops don't understand the actual situation, and we should have taken that into consideration from the beginning. Harbin Institute of Technology is an aerospace university, and Xie Wei has been in contact with missile-related personnel before..."

At some point, Liao Qingsong walked over, his tone also filled with helplessness.

"But the fighter aircraft technology projects he proposed..."

"People have limited energy. Xie Wei mentioned that the school had these projects, but he didn't participate in them. This is very telling."

After Liao Qingsong finished speaking, he also sighed silently.

He was not sure whether it was the Third Ministry of Machine Building that wanted to poach Xie Wei, or one of its subordinate research institutes.

It's not authentic to use this method.

This directly caused Xie Wei's resistance.

"Actually, this is quite good. He didn't participate in the aerospace program. The school is letting him make his own choice."

"That's not necessarily true. What if the school was prepared to let him stay from the beginning?"

Feng Bingyi's words left Liao Qingsong speechless.

The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

Xie Wei had no idea of ​​the purpose of Feng Bingyi, Liao Qingsong and others. After greeting them and knowing that he would not have to worry about participating in the drone shooting and taking up his energy for a short period of time, he went straight to Yu Guofeng's office.

Compared with PLC and CNC projects, the calculator has solved all the core key components and can produce samples in a very short time.

With samples, a lot of time can be saved on various basic calculations in subsequent scientific research work.

"You're back? How come you have time to come to my place?"

Yu Guofeng was surprised to see Xie Wei knocking on the door.

"The calculator has taken so long, especially the chip, so we should bring the results of this project to the market first."

Xie Wei didn't beat around the bush.

"You finally remembered that this project has been delayed for a long time? Now the functions have been increased a lot. You can use the input device to directly input function formulas for calculation..."

"so smart?"

Xie Wei looked surprised.

Entering function formulas for calculations means that this calculator has more complete functions and stronger computing power than Xie Wei originally expected.

"There is a problem now. If we can solve it, we can directly produce samples."

Yu Guofeng did not have the same joy as Xie Wei. Instead, he looked serious. "According to your requirements, the display does not need to be too large. It only needs to display the calculation results..."

"correct."

Xie Wei nodded.

Calculators with simple design and powerful calculation functions, especially those used in scientific research, also need to produce results quickly.

If you want to see the calculation process, or something else, just use the computer.

"There is no suitable LCD display. Otherwise, you don't need to ask, the test samples have been produced. Now the entire project team is continuing to expand the functions of the calculator and optimize the program..."

"..."

Yu Guofeng's words stunned Xie Wei.

LCD display stuck with calculator again?

"You asked me to contact the nearby physics institute before..."

Xie Wei didn't expect that the LCD screen would get stuck on the product.

He originally thought that such a small LCD screen as wide as a finger should be available in China.

"All relevant research institutes are overwhelmed with their current research work. Units with weak capabilities cannot ensure progress... I asked around and it seems that factories 770 and 774 may have it, but there has been no response yet."

Yu Guofeng told Xie Wei about the situation.

He also said that he did not let the project come to a standstill. He was contacting the manufacturer of LCD screens and asking the project team to continue to improve the project.

"Factory 770 or 774?"

Xie Wei didn't know which two factories these were.

For him, among the domestic factories that were originally numbered with numbers, except for the famous ones like 132 and 112, he was not familiar with the other ones.

"Factory 774 is the Capital Electron Tube Factory, and Factory 770 is the Shuguang Electron Tube Factory. Factory 770 was jointly established by Factory 772 (Jinling Electron Tube Factory) and Factory 774 by drawing on the corresponding production lines. It is also the first large-scale electron tube production base independently designed and built in China, located in Changsha..."

"..."

At first, when Xie Wei heard Yu Guofeng introduce him to him, he didn't feel anything.

The more I listened, the more something was wrong.

There’s nothing wrong with introducing the factory to yourself, so why do you need to tell yourself where it is now?
“If it’s urgent, it’s best to go.”

"I'm not going!"

Without even thinking about it, Xie Wei refused.

It’s okay to go to the capital, after all, the journey is relatively short and you can make a round trip in a few days.

Not in Changsha.

You need to change trains several times.

"We can't arrange for anyone to go there to understand the situation."

"Then I'll ask Wu Tao or Wang Zheng to arrange someone to go. If that doesn't work, I'll try to find a way to go to the school..."

At the end, Xie Wei decisively shut up.

We can't lack anything, so we just do a project, although the future market potential of LCD screens is indeed very large.

LCD screens will be the core equipment of advanced devices in the next few decades, with characteristics such as high brightness, high contrast and low power consumption. However, Xie Wei only knows the basic principles.

"You mean the school is doing this, right? I've asked Kang Yi and Liang Hongbin to help me find out if it can be done. I heard the principle is not very complicated..."

"Director Yu, the principle of the atomic bomb is also very simple."

Yu Guofeng's words made Xie Wei go crazy instantly.

No wonder Liang Hongbin looked at him strangely. Du Guowang specifically came to him to tell him that too many projects were affecting his development.

What the hell!

When Yu Guofeng went to ask Liang Hongbin and Kang Yi for help with the LCD screen, he definitely went there in his own name, otherwise neither Liang Hongbin nor Kang Yi would have paid any attention to him.

"Don't have that expression. Factories 770 and 774 may have it. Even if they do, they may not be able to provide the LCD screen required by the CNC system..."

"If we don't use LCD screens, what about using LED lights?"

The calculator only displays the calculation results, which are displayed using LED lights. Although the display is not that clear and looks rather backward, it cannot reflect the calculator's advancement.

You can use it.

"You are not afraid of losing face, but the school cannot afford to lose that person. Take a look at this thing."

Yu Guofeng looked at Xie Wei unhappily, then took out a palm-sized handheld calculator from his office drawer and placed it in front of Xie Wei.

As soon as he saw this thing, Xie Wei's eyes suddenly widened!

"This thing has been sold internationally for many years. It was banned in China before. I spent a lot of effort to get one. It cost me $300!"

"How many?"

Hearing the price Yu Guofeng said, Xie Wei was stunned again.

There's no way to rob money like this!

A calculator with many functions usually costs only twenty or thirty yuan. If it only needs the most basic calculations, without functions such as logarithms, it is sold on Xixi for only 9.9 yuan with free shipping, and you can get a few yuan back if you give a good review.

As a result, Yu Guofeng actually told himself that this thing with such an ugly appearance and imperfect functions cost only $300!

It's noisy.
