Yes, it's Professor Qin Wentong again.

Even Meng Jianye is jealous of a handsome old guy with rich network resources.

This is his strength, but it is also Professor Qin's biggest burden.

Because when you ask others to do something, people may also come to the door to ask you to do something, plus Professor Qin is thin-skinned and has a strong sense of justice, as long as it is slightly beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood, he will agree to it.

This was the case with the original Xiangxi and Chuandong plants, and the same is true for today's Linghua factory.

It's just that unlike the Xiangxi plant and the Chuandong plant, it was not the person in charge of the Linghua plant who asked Professor Qin to solve the problem, but Professor Hu Chong, who majored in electronic engineering at Huaqing University in Beijing.

This person studied in Germany before the liberation, during which he secretly joined our party, and after returning to China, he worked in the telecommunications department of the national government and became a secret intelligence officer of our party.

In the 60s, he served as a lecturer in Kazakhstan's military telecommunications, and was protected by his superiors during the special period, and did not suffer much impact, so Hu Chong completely immersed himself in the research of high-end electronic equipment.

At the end of the 70s, he successfully developed the "Automatic Distribution Repeating Camera", and Hu Chong won the Outstanding Achievement Award of the National Science Conference for this achievement.

And this so-called "automatic distribution of repeated cameras" is nothing else, it is the core equipment in the field of chip manufacturing, "lithography machine".

It is also ridiculous to say that the lithography machine that was used as a shackle by foreign countries to jam China's neck in later generations has been independently developed by China as early as the end of the seventies.

Not only that, but the level is also world-class.

Take the overlord of chip equipment manufacturing at that time, GCA in the United States, for example, whose DSW4800 lithography machine launched in 1978 has a lithography accuracy of 3 microns.

The lithography machine developed by Professor Hu Chong is no worse than the DSW4800 lithography machine, and even better than the American in some aspects.

At the same time, Japan's Nikon and Canon are still begging for technology transfer from the United States, South Korea doesn't even know what a lithography machine is.

As for the USSR, the path has been crooked, and there is no need to compare at all.

It can be seen that at the end of the seventies, China was actually no worse than anyone else in the field of high-end equipment for electronic equipment, and even had to be looked up to.

However, due to the restrictions of the system, the solidification of concepts and the adjustment of policies, China's advantages were wasted, and it was not until later generations that China tried to catch up, but it was still far from the peak of the 70s.

When Meng Jianye learned the inside story from Professor Qin, his heart was really mixed.

That is, admiring the strong foundation of China's electronics industry, but also feeling sad about the gradual decline of the electronics industry in the next few decades.

But it is more of a kind of helplessness, Professor Qin brought Hu Chong to him, Meng Jianye is very clear about what the other party meant, and now in the context of the national project tightening, the "automatic distribution of repeated cameras" has long been cut down like other thousands of potential projects.

Coupled with the influence of policies and concepts, China's electronics industry has been squeezed by foreign products to the point of almost collapse, and it is simply not able to afford the next step of the research and development of the "automatic distribution of duplicate cameras".

However, the military industry department of Endeavor Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., which he led by Meng Jianye, is one of the few major companies in the industry with profits exceeding 100 million US dollars for many years, because of this, when it comes to money, Professor Qin's first thought is no one else except for him Meng Jianye.

However, the problem is that the pit that Professor Qin smashed down is too big, and it is not as simple as keeping a lone R&D team to keep the research and development of the lithography machine.

Do you want to take care of the core packages?

For example, the photoresist used for lithography, without this thing, you can't make a chip at all, no matter how good the machine is, it is a decoration, but the problem is that the photoresist is a product of another technology tree, do you want to invest in it?

Then there is the manufacturing plant of precision processing equipment, the lithography machine itself is a very precise object, and the structure inside needs to be quite precise processing to manufacture.

There is also the core optical lens of the lithography machine, which is not an ordinary glass, which can be made into a chip by pressing a piece, but an extremely precise optical lens, which is not only super valuable, but also difficult to produce.

Of course, now some accessories and key equipment can be imported from abroad, if Meng Jianye is not from the afterlife, it is just that, but he clearly knows that the so-called honeymoon period is not long, and he still does this, it is equivalent to stretching his neck to let people strangle, Meng Jianye is not stupid to that extent.

Therefore, if you want to keep the R&D team of the "lithography machine", it is not just a few people and a few laboratories, but a huge entire industrial chain.

Meng Jianye is rich now, but compared with the massive investment cost of the "lithography machine", he really can't even make a splash.

In this regard, both Professor Qin and Professor Hu are very clear that such a large project is not something that the factory or person can afford, and it requires the strength of the state to play it.

Therefore, Hu Chong told Meng Jianye that he did not need to undertake the entire industrial chain, but hoped that he would pull one or two key supporting factories within his ability.

The Linghua factory is the most typical representative.

As the downstream production plant of Professor Hu's lithography machine development team, ADLINK is not only a production test base for lithography machines, but also shoulders the important task of producing a new generation of control chips for lithography machines.

However, with the decline of the Linghua factory, this heavy task is naturally unbearable, Professor Hu can rely on his own connections to get some substitutions from abroad, but the price is frighteningly high, and the Linghua factory is the only manufacturer with experience in the use of lithography machines, Professor Hu hopes that the Linghua factory can stay.

Meng Jianye had no way to refuse this request, after all, Professor Qin had helped him so much, and with his old man coming forward, Meng Jianye couldn't help but give face, and besides, he didn't want to see the field of domestic lithography machines decline like this, so he agreed.

However, when Meng Jianye began to help the Linghua factory, he found that this is a big pit, this is not that the Linghua factory is a bottomless pit, but that you helped a Linghua factory, and the next time the two old men come to beg you to help another factory, do you help?

Thinking about Professor Qin's meaningful smile when he left, Meng Jianye was 100% sure that he was cheated by this handsome old guy again, didn't he just drink two more bottles of old wine at his house, so he could pit him to death like this?

However, the pit is a pit, and the matter of making money cannot be delayed, no matter whether it is helped or not, how to help, it is absolutely impossible to have no money, because of this, after returning to China this time, Meng Jianye is really possessed by Zhou Peel, and his eyes staring at the dollar are green.
