Rebirth 08: Equipment God

Chapter 457 The Empress Returns to Her Position!

"Recently, my country's core mechanical research institute has achieved a major technological breakthrough, with its independently developed 'silicon carbide power chips and modules' achieving mass production."

News footage was playing in the cafeteria on the Harbin Institute of Technology campus.

It was already summer vacation, and there weren't many people in the cafeteria, except for the researchers who couldn't leave.

Tao Zheli, a newly appointed PhD in silicon carbide, was holding a bowl of cold noodles, staring blankly at the sky.

Wow, that's fast. A year and a half? And they're already in mass production?
The scene shifts, and several young faces appear on the screen. Zhai Da, who is leading the group, speaks confidently to the camera: "Our team is very young, and we are very fortunate to have met such a group of people with dreams and abilities. I also thank them for trusting me."

Once upon a time, those young people in the video even needed Tao Zheli to teach them how to put on cleanroom suits. They practiced using the discarded footage from their team and even wanted to find out what their research area was.
"This achievement marks a major breakthrough in third-generation semiconductors globally, making 'Macro-Core Semiconductor' a leader in this field. It has wide-ranging industrial and civilian applications, and will be widely used in photovoltaics, wind power, communications, high-speed rail, and power conversion."
"The global market size is expected to exceed US$300 billion, approximately RMB1800 billion."

Tao Zheli stared blankly at the familiar, cheerful faces in the video.

However, he smiled, slurped up the cold noodles, and turned to go back to the lab.

Although we're on different paths, I'm also a little envious.
But those of us who study "BeiDou" are just as good!

Meanwhile, on Hainan Island.

Near the Wenchang rocket launch site, which had just begun construction last year, Mr. Qian, wearing short sleeves, was being pushed forward along the coastal walkway.
If Zhai Da were here, he would probably find it very interesting.

The teacher was wearing a floral shirt and floral shorts, and sunglasses.

He looked like an old man on vacation at the beach.

The "Five Generations Longevity Lock" on her chest reflects an antique luster.

The guard, Xiao Liu, pushed Mr. Qian under the parasol, where a coconut with a straw inserted was placed.

"Mr. Qian, here is the newspaper you requested."

After searching for a while, Mr. Qian finally found the information about his closed-door disciple in the third edition.

It's only the size of a tofu block, but it's still quite impressive.

Because this is the People's Daily.

Achieving a globally leading breakthrough in a certain field, with real market value, certainly deserves this recognition; it's far more serious than the evening news broadcast.
Given the nature of private enterprises, this also signifies recognition from the highest levels of government.

own people.

The newspaper in his hands rustled slightly in the sea breeze, but his withered hands held it firmly without moving.

"Mobile operating systems, third-generation semiconductors, motors—Xiao Zhai, what's your next step? Or will you take a break?"

Xiao Liu, who had accompanied Mr. Qian to most parts of China, was naturally familiar with Zhai Da: "Mr. Qian, are we going to Dongyang?"

Mr. Qian shook his head: "I'd like to stay in Wenchang a little longer. This is the launch center with the best geographical conditions since the founding of our country."

"Besides, let's give Xiao Zhai some time to process things. I do hope he can rest for a while, but knowing his personality, he'll definitely have new plans coming up again soon."

Xiao Liu smiled and looked at the horizon where the sea met the sky in the distance: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Even if you say you want to develop a 'rocket recovery' system before leaving, that's fine too."

Old Qian laughed heartily: "It's not that easy. This is just the beginning."

The return of this father of China's space program has had a tremendous impact on the entire space industry.

Especially after traveling all over the country, I have gained a more comprehensive understanding of the technological development that has been absent for decades, and naturally, I have new ideas.

Just as Zhai Da guessed.

[On Systems Engineering], this life will never be the end of the teacher's scientific achievements.

Rather, it is the starting point for the elderly to achieve one new result after another.

He once led a country that struggled even to produce steel to new heights, and now, with a completely new world and a bright future ahead, the technological advancements are worlds apart.
Honestly, Qian Xuesen had never fought such a costly battle before.
The pinnacle of human intelligence has been illuminated once again.

"We and Xiao Zhai are in different fields, but we'll work together."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

In Dongyang, "Machine Semiconductor" is rapidly increasing its production capacity.

More and more raw materials are flowing in, and more and more workers are starting to officially start their jobs.

Nearly 400 senior industrial workers who have received 3-6 months of training and nearly 100 intermediate engineers work day and night.

And this is just the beginning. The theoretical maximum capacity of Plant 1 requires nearly 2000 people, and there are also Plant 2, Plant 3, and even the subsequent Phase II and Phase III development projects of the factory area.

The province has a large number of industrial workers, and the Mechanical Core Research Institute has a prestigious reputation, so the recruitment process went relatively smoothly.

Considering employee mobility and stability, it is inevitable to tend to select people from the surrounding areas, and the connection with Dongyang and surrounding counties and cities is becoming increasingly solid.

Of course, the selection criteria will not be lowered, and the school motto of "skillful execution and strict standards" has also been brought back from Harbin Institute of Technology.

If one treats this as a backup option for "going to work in a factory if you don't do well in school," then one's intentions are not pure, and one might not even get a training opportunity.

This is a training ground for highly skilled industrial workers, not a reformatory for young geeks.

The precision instrument factory has now officially established the "Machine Core Semiconductor Training School," which will serve as a training ground for new employees, a learning center for veteran employees, and a platform for the dissemination of technological achievements. New experiences summarized from production practice have also been incorporated into the new teaching materials.

A new round of large-scale recruitment has brought the area back to life, and the fruit stall of a certain mute girl is doing better and better.

However, the research institute's attention, especially that of its long-time employees, has recently been temporarily drawn elsewhere by another matter.
“Go this way, turn right and there’s an entrance you can go through.”

A truck, guided by directions, drove into a magical place.

"Hey~ This building is interesting, it's such a big circle, is there a park inside?"

The roller shutter door slowly opened, revealing the view behind it.

It is a circular park, high in the middle and low around the edges, but the difference in elevation is not large, and the total area is probably over a hundred acres.

The staff member guiding the trucks proudly stated, "This green space is called 'Nature's Courtyard,' and it's the heart of our headquarters."

As you can see, the turf and transplanted trees have already begun, and of course, construction access has been reserved in advance. This area is still bare.

Further away, the varying heights of the vegetation and ground create the feel of an exquisite garden, with winding, secluded paths, rows of shady trees, elegant ponds, and tall groves of trees.
There are even a few small courtyards where people can live, and a rubber running track that surrounds the entire green space.
To put it simply, this one place alone is as beautiful as a private garden, not to mention the surrounding buildings.

Vehicles will naturally not be allowed to enter this area in the future, but at this time, it is an unavoidable step for large trucks to drive in along the paved path.

Because the big one is coming.

The soil was swirled up and scattered, and the truck driver actually felt a sense of guilt, as if he had ruined this harmonious and beautiful environment.

We finally arrived at the designated location, where the crane was already waiting. As soon as we got off the truck after it came to a stop, we heard a flock of birds calling from above.

"Gaga~ Gaga~"

Looking up, I saw a dozen or so crows of varying sizes flying around the area.

"That's strange, these birds have been following us for a short time after we got off the highway."

After a moment of confusion, the driver turned to look at the construction site, or rather, the special equipment, in front of him.

In the very center of the “Natural Courtyard”, on a high point, stands a tall stone tower.

It is cylindrical in shape, thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom; to be precise, it consists of two parts, the top and the bottom, with no connection in the middle.

The lower base is on the ground, only about a meter high, and there is a spiral staircase that can be climbed.

The upper part is larger and thicker, and is supported by an arc-shaped steel structure in three directions, suspended in mid-air.
There is a blank space of more than ten meters in the middle.

It's like a rugged stone tower that existed in ancient times, which was smashed by a giant beast's claw, and after a long period of time, it was rebuilt by later generations in this way, hollowed out and upside down.

The marks at the break points all seemed to overlap.

"Wow, this is so artistic! Such a big fuss for a single tree?"

Just then, Zhai Da, who had come specifically for this event, arrived at the "Natural Courtyard" and took over the conversation with a smile: "Yes, we made such a big fuss just for it."

Not to mention the "Upside-Down Tower" device personally designed by Lu Tao, the entire circular headquarters was built based on it.

If it weren't for Lao Yu, there would be no need to go through all this trouble.

Zhai Da held Lu Wei's hand in one hand and carried a huge birdcage in the other, inside which was Xiao Hei, who had also traveled thousands of miles and arrived earlier last night.

He bent down and gently stroked the little black head: "Don't worry, I'll let you out in a bit. Don't delay the installation."

As he spoke, he looked up at the crows in the sky and wondered if they were from the same species.

The [Execution of the Old Elm], whose effects had been deactivated but whose white roots still carried a somewhat eerie quality, had finally arrived at its destined dwelling place.

The empress has returned to her rightful place.
