Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

In the Fourth Machinery Department, Minister He's office, the conversation continued.

Hearing that Minister He actually invited him to participate in the semiconductor development plan, Zhou Yang was not only surprised, but also excited.

Originally, the purpose of his coming here today was just to stop the domestic import of the Little Devil color TV production line, but he did not expect such an unexpected surprise!

Zhou Yang knew about this semiconductor development plan in his previous life and regretted it for half his life.

Even in the 90s, he and several national treasure-level scientists in the semiconductor field advised the higher authorities, requesting the national level to continue to provide additional funds to revitalize my country's semiconductor industry.

But unfortunately, their suggestions were shelved!

At that time, Zhou Yang was thinking that if there was a chance to start over, he would not watch our country being kicked out of the ranks of the number one semiconductor group.

I never thought that this idea would actually come true!

After calming down his excitement for a while, Zhou Yang looked at Minister He again, and then asked: "Chief, what are the contents of the comprehensive development plan for the semiconductor industry you mentioned, and what do you need me or the No. 18 Research Institute to do?"

Minister He immediately said: "This semiconductor industry development plan aims to concentrate national resources and vigorously develop the emerging industry of semiconductors. This plan is divided into..."

After briefly explaining the semiconductor industry development plan, Minister He fixed his eyes on Zhou Yang again.

"Comrade Zhou Yang, the reason why we hope you can join this plan is not only because of your strong scientific research capabilities, but more importantly, because of your strong business capabilities!"

"Management capacity?"

"Yes, whether it is the No. [-] Electronics Factory in Lucheng, the printing factories in your research institute, or the ham sausage factory affiliated to your Yunshan County Government, they have all achieved amazing results with your direct or indirect participation. benefit!"

Then Minister He continued: "The most important thing for the development of the semiconductor industry is to have sufficient funds. Obviously, relying solely on state funding is not enough. Although we say that we must mobilize the whole country to develop the semiconductor industry, it is impossible. Really invest all the money into this industry.”

"So, we thought of the development model of your research institute. While conducting scientific research, we will transform scientific research results into economic benefits and feed back scientific research units. Do you understand what I say?"

"can!"

Then Zhou Yang said: "So, my task is to transform scientific and technological achievements, or to raise money for the semiconductor industry development plan?"

"That's not entirely true. We know you very well and know that you also have extremely high attainments in electronic technology, so we hope that your unit can also make technological breakthroughs!"

Speaking of this, Minister He couldn't help but sigh, and after a while he said: "Comrade Zhou Yang, you may not know much about the current development situation of our country's semiconductor industry. Let's put it this way, if we continue to be silent like this, in the future There will no longer be a place for us in this industry, and the efforts of hundreds of thousands of seniors over the past few decades will all be in vain!”

After hearing Minister He's words, Zhou Yang fell silent.

How could he not understand the development of the domestic semiconductor industry? In fact, Zhou Yang not only understood it, he even experienced the darkness after the decline of our country's semiconductor industry, and witnessed with his own eyes how our country was choked by Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea in the semiconductor industry.

In fact, unlike other industries built from ruins, my country's semiconductor industry has not lagged behind from the beginning. We have even almost achieved "surpassing the United Kingdom and catching up with the United States" in this industry.

The development of my country's electronics industry started during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. At that time, in order to solve the electronic communication problems of the army, the country established the Telecommunications Industry Administration and prepared to build the Jingcheng Electronic Tube Factory (now BOE) in Jiuxianqiao, with technical assistance provided by the Democratic Republic of Germany.

At that time, the factory had a total investment of 1 million yuan and an annual output of 1220 million electronic tubes. It was the largest electronic tube factory in Asia.

In addition, Jiuxianqiao has also built large-scale motor factories, North China Radio Equipment Joint Factory, Beijing Cable Power Plant, North China Optoelectronics Technology Research Institute and other units. The overall strength is very strong.

Later, the country proposed "march toward science" and formulated a 12-year plan for scientific and technological development, listing the electronics industry as a key development goal.In order to support the development of the electronics industry, policy, finance, education and other aspects of power are concentrated in this field.

For example, to train talents in the electronics industry, the Ministry of Education concentrated the scientific research resources of five universities across the country, and even established a special semiconductor major at Beijing University. Before the millennium, almost all the top talents in my country's semiconductor industry came from this school.

It is with this kind of support that my country's electronics industry has grown from scratch, from weak to strong, in less than 30 years. Various well-known scientific research units and large electronics factories have emerged. rise.

For example, in 1958, the East China Computing Technology Research Institute and the Hucheng Component Factory No. [-], the Hucheng Electronic Tube Factory, and the Hucheng Radio No. [-] Factory were established in Shanghai.

In 1960, the Academy of Sciences established the Semiconductor Research Institute, and in the same year established the Jibei Semiconductor Research Institute (now the 13th institute of China Power Group) to carry out industrial technology research, and later established the National Semiconductor Testing Center.

Even during that special period, all walks of life were greatly affected, and even in recession, my country's electronics industry still developed rapidly.

During this period, the Jiuxianqiao Electronic Industrial Zone in Beijing basically took shape.The electronics industry began to integrate with textile, printing and dyeing, steel and other industries to realize automated production.

Then, the state-owned Dong Optoelectronics Factory (Factory 878) was established in Beijing, and Radio Factory 1970 was established in Shanghai. By [-], it was completed and put into production, forming the "North and South Hegemons" in the domestic integrated circuit industry.

Among them, Beijing 878 Factory mainly produces TTU circuits, cmos clock circuits and A/D conversion circuits.Shanghai Radio No. 19 Factory mainly produces TTL and HTL digital integrated circuits. It is the earliest professional factory in China to produce bipolar digital integrated circuits.

At the same time, my country's research on the semiconductor industry has also produced frequent results and achieved fruitful results.

First, the No. 878 Radio Factory in Shanghai was the first to produce pmos (p-type metal-oxide semiconductor) circuits, which kicked off the development of mos integrated circuits in our country.Then Yongchuan Semiconductor Research Institute, Shangwu [-]th Factory and Beijing [-] Factory successively developed nmos circuits, and then developed cmos circuits...

Later, the country's first integrated circuit computer, the 100, which could perform 105 million operations per second, was successfully developed.

There is also the semiconductor research team of the Department of Physics of Kyungseong University, which designed my country's first three types of 1kdram dynamic random access memory. It is five years later than the c1103 developed by Intel Corporation, but four or five years earlier than Bangzi and Wanwan. .

In other words, if we continue the previous development path and momentum, our country should be able to catch up with the United States and the United States in the computer and integrated circuit industries in a short period of time.

But unfortunately, all the good luck ended here.

Putting aside the reasons for the rapid decline of my country's semiconductor industry, Zhou Yang strongly agrees with what Minister He just said, "If we continue to be silent like this, there will be no place for us in this industry in the future."

Having experienced that era of serious bottlenecks, Zhou Yang is very clear about the future of my country's semiconductor industry.

If we do not revitalize our semiconductor industry, we will not only face no place to stay, but more importantly, we will have to accept the cutting of leeks from Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries, and at the same time, our dignity will be insulted and rubbed again and again by the other side!

Unfortunately, the semiconductor industry development plan in the previous life ultimately failed, and our country's entire electronics industry fell into a 30-year decline and silence.

Since God gave him this opportunity, Zhou Yang would naturally not watch this disaster happen.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yang immediately said firmly: "Chief, our No. 18 Research Institute is willing to join this plan and fully cooperate with the ministry to revive the glory of our country's semiconductor industry!"

"Okay, we really didn't misjudge you, kid!"

Then, Minister He took out a thick document from the drawer of his desk and continued: "This is our preliminary development plan. It has not been officially distributed to all units yet. Take it back and see if it is available. Any additions or modifications!”

"Yes!"

"In addition, you can formulate a semiconductor development plan for your unit based on the conversation we just had and the actual situation of your unit. We will discuss it at the meeting then!" Minister He said.

"Yes..."
