The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

Ten days later, everyone in the laboratory returned to work.

Huang Yan continued to work on her wafer preparation improvement research. Senior Brother Gong didn't know the next step of his work, so he directly approached Li Yuan.

"Lao Li, what should our team do next? We now have photolithography machines and etching machines, and we will not fall behind in the next 10 years."

"You are a bit too optimistic. The development of semiconductor technology will be a step-wise development. The main reason is that capital will see its value.

Therefore, universities, research institutes, and a large number of individuals in various countries will invest in this emerging industry.

Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and the development speed will only be faster.”

"Then shall we continue to study chip manufacturing equipment?"

"Yes, our current processing accuracy is almost 5 microns. Your team's main job in the future is to improve photolithography technology.

The core is to continuously improve the lithography precision, which can not only significantly reduce power consumption, but also reduce the chip area.

Such cost and performance advantages will become larger and larger.

There is also the research on automatic control. In this regard, you can form a team, and the personnel can find Principal Jiang."

"Listening to what you said, there will still be a lot of work in the future."

“Currently we can only stay underground, but one day we will stand openly in the sun.

All of this is related to the work we are doing now.

Because semiconductor technology can help all walks of life achieve overtaking in corners."

"Listening to what you said, it feels like there's a lot of pressure on our shoulders. Okay, I know what to do."

When Senior Brother Gong came, he was a little lonely and wanted to lose. When he left, he was full of passion.

Three days later, the superior leader came to the laboratory again and brought good news and bad news.

“In view of your significant contributions in chip production, on behalf of the organization, I announce to you that the administrative level of Laboratory 621 will be upgraded from now on.

Li Yuan, administrative level: General, level 14, salary standard is 138 yuan; technical level: engineer, level 5, salary standard is 178 yuan. The salary is paid at 178 yuan.

Gong Liming, administrative level: department level, level 15, salary standard is 124 yuan; technical level: engineer, level 7, salary standard is 133.5 yuan. The salary is paid at 133.5 yuan.

Huang Yan, administrative level: department level, level 15, salary standard is 124 yuan; technical level: engineer, level 7, salary standard is 133.5 yuan. The salary is paid at 133.5 yuan.

. . . . . . . "

Others will be upgraded to level 2~3 simultaneously.

After announcing this, Li Yuan was taken to a laboratory by his superiors. Others in the laboratory saw the opportunity and left.

“Yesterday we held a meeting to discuss the balanced relationship between future technological, military and economic development.

Most of the attendees supported focusing on economic development and only laid out a few scientific research directions.

Focus on digesting and absorbing current technological achievements, expanding production capacity, and meeting the increasing needs of the people.

A lot of projects were cut for it.

Although your laboratory is retained, investment will not be expanded in the future. Just keep it the way it is."

Li Yuan became anxious when he heard this, "Leader, the situation in the laboratory is very good now. It is a critical moment to deepen research. How can we reduce investment?!"

"There is no other way, and I have fought for it. The main reason is that there is really no money. Nowadays, a large number of projects are under construction and are being put into production.

There is serious duplication of construction in various places, and the waste of resources is even more shocking."

"Then we can't reduce our expenses just because others are wasting a lot of money, right?"

"You're okay, you're just reducing investment and many research projects have been stopped."

“If you don’t study, how can you catch up?”

“The biggest problem is that a lot of research is just scientific and technological achievements and cannot be translated into actual economic benefits.

Various places or colleges are competing to compete.

Therefore, the state had to step in to stop it.

However, I will give you an idea, you can keep an eye on the military, its budget has not been reduced."

After sending his superiors off, Li Yuan fell into deep thought.

Soon, he called Senior Brother Gong, Senior Sister Huang, Teacher Ai and Teacher Bi together to discuss the development of the laboratory.

"It's really unimaginable how to implement a one-size-fits-all approach. Now our laboratory's projects are on the fast track. Reducing investment means slowing down the pace," Senior Sister Huang said angrily.

"I can't accept it either." Teacher Bi was poured cold water on him just at the moment when he was in high spirits.

Senior Brother Gong remained silent, and Teacher Ai frowned.

For half an hour, all Li Yuan heard were complaints and no constructive suggestions.

Seeing that everyone was expressing their emotions, Li Yuan turned his attention to Senior Brother Gong.

"Gong Gong, what do you think?"

Senior Brother Gong looked up at everyone, then stared at Li Yuan and smiled.

“When I first heard about it, I was very angry, but when I thought about it, what should I do in this situation?

Can I change? Is my opinion meaningful to decision makers?

I have been staying in the laboratory, and my understanding of the outside world only comes from newspapers. Do I understand the actual situation?

I have heard a saying since I was a child that running a big country is like cooking small dishes, and you need to respect the small ones and be cautious.

As a scientific worker, I understand the truth, and those big shots shouldn’t know any less than I do.

so,. . . ".

"Okay, Senior Brother Gong, I didn't expect that you are also a person who protects your own safety. At this time, we should fight with reason and use actions to ensure our results.

I believe that our superiors have been misled and deceived. They simply do not know the significance of the work we do! "

Senior Brother Gong was not angry, but smiled and said: "Little Junior Sister, the teacher often tells us that we should pay attention to the right time, place and people when doing things, and we cannot blindly act recklessly.

The current situation is that the information is unclear. I don’t think they don’t know how important the chip is to a country.

I noticed a sentence: digest existing results and increase the national economy.

This is also the secret to our party's success. Once we have conquered a territory, we must stop and digest it.

If you only know how to charge blindly, what is the difference between this and a bear breaking corns?"

Huang Yan was still unwilling, but she felt that what Senior Brother Gong said was reasonable, which made her even more troubled.

Li Yuan nodded gratefully to Senior Brother Gong, who nodded slightly to express receipt.

“Everyone’s opinions are very good, but Senior Brother Gong’s words reminded me.

Our past strategy was to develop vertically, continuously deepen research, and constantly challenge technological improvements.

Since the instructions have been given from above, we can consider horizontal development, consider more chip application design, and conduct some longitudinal research appropriately.

In this way, and in compliance with the situation, we can continue to maintain technological research.

I believe in the organization. Since the above has made such arrangements, we can just carry out applied research.

And our biggest customer is the military.

As long as their pain points can be solved, there will be no shortage of scientific research funds? "

Li Yuan's summary made everyone's eyes brighten. They knew that the first funds earned by the laboratory were obtained by the director himself from the military.

As soon as the ideas opened up, everyone began to speak enthusiastically.

One plan after another was thrown out.
