"In other words, now the Foundation has completely sorted out its identity and ownership, right? That's still good, but what about the academicians of the Foundation, can you tell me how many academicians there are now?"

In the case of the Foundation, it was actually a sword hanging in the hearts of funded scientific researchers such as Bai Siwen and Professor Liu a long time ago, and now as long as the identity can be clarified, everything else is still very easy to say.

As for why the big men in the imperial capital who live in the temple will agree, this is actually very simple, mainly because the foundation's scientific research funding is "free", as for what is a cutting-edge scientific research project, how to evaluate and review, there is too much room for operation.

Does Wang Zhengguo know about the above loopholes?

Of course he knew, but the first task now was to legalize the foundation completely, and as for how to determine the eligibility of future research grants, let's talk about it.

"Together with you, there are five in total, all of whom are top scientific research scholars: Wu Daguan, chief engineer of aero engines, Ni Guangnan of Kaiyang, Yan Yuanchao of Yuheng, and Jiang Wenhan of Shudu Institute of Optics and Machinery, all of whom have made remarkable achievements. ”

Professor Bai Siwen has been in contact with the Foundation for a long time, and these scientific research colleagues have also known about it, and they are naturally very convinced of the careers made by these people.

As for the treatment enjoyed by academicians, he already knew it after a little reading, like this kind of university professor, personal treatment has always been very good, and there is no need to worry about houses and cars, so there is not much lack of funds, and the treatment of remote research institutes is not at the same level at all.

However, he still solemnly put the file bag in the drawer of the desk, and then took Wang Zhengguo to the next door, which is the place where the performance data of CMOS optical sensors is tested, and it is also the place where all new products must go.

"Last year, we completed the project of low-cost CMOS monochrome graphic sensor for optical mice, and assisted Shuhang Optics to complete the development of the core components of the Tianshu 1 camera. Later, Kaiyang introduced a production line for the production of 905 processors, and the entire semiconductor process level was comprehensively improved to the international first-class level, so we followed up with the development project of professional-grade CMOS optical sensors. ”

What Professor Bai Siwen said was light, but Wang Zhengguo could feel that he would definitely be able to make a big news this time, and he was curious.

"Professional-grade CMOS optical sensors, this thing is not simply a joke, what level is the specific goal?"

"The sensor size is set at 135The size of the camera film, which is much larger than the sensor size used in Tianshu 1 now, and at the beginning, we took the color sensor route, although the pixels still failed to break through 1 million, but the imaging effect is acceptable, but the cost is a little unbearable. ”

Don't look at what Professor Bai Siwen said lightly, but Wang Zhengguo is definitely not easy to hear, if Professor Bai is addicted to the laboratory, the cost can not be bearable, then I am afraid it is really sky-high, after all, the development cost of products developed in the laboratory has never been low, and now this situation is probably ......

"How much?"

Cautiously inquired about the cost data of this thing, Wang Zhengguo was really afraid that his little heart would not be able to stand it.

"The laboratory was designed, and then found Kaiyang to help with production, you know that the larger the size of the sensor, the more complex its interior, so the yield rate can not be raised, we successfully made two sensors this time, the yield rate is less than 10%, which is equivalent to 280,000 yuan a piece. ”

vomited, Wang Zhengguo is really going to vomit blood, a sensor costs 280,000 yuan, that is, Professor Bai Siwen is not short of money now, otherwise who would dare to do this in China, this is the 80s, is it really when the money is blowing in the wind?

Hold back and don't let yourself fall on the spot, after all, people have already arrived here, if you can't see the 135-format CMOS optical sensor that costs 280,000 yuan, he will definitely not leave easily, after all, in terms of sensor size, this has reached the level of full-frame sensors in later generations.

The world's first full-frame digital camera was launched in 2000, and when the first full-frame digital sensor was developed, I'm afraid it was during the 90s, so now Wang Zhengguo can actually roughly guess what the imaging quality of this thing is.

"The imaging effect of this thing should not be much higher than that of Tianshu 1 using dual camera scheme + post-synthesis, and in terms of its cost, it is not competitive at all. ”

Seeing the picture displayed on the monitor, Wang Zhengguo really didn't think it was better than Tianshu 1, after all, it was a single color sensor with a direct effect, simple and rude, and it was a product that relied on the size of the heap sensor, but it was still limited by the technical level of the times.

Wang Zhengguo gave such an evaluation after reading it, because almost the entire R&D team came to the same conclusion, and the current full-frame sensor really does not have much industrial value.

However, the R&D team can achieve a breakthrough in the size of the sensor, which is not a small victory, from the theoretical application to the mature and practical, everyone is taking their time step by step, and we must be full of patience to wait!

"We don't plan to industrialize it on a large scale now, after all, this is not realistic, the cost alone is almost unacceptable to consumers, this project is prepared for large-scale optical imaging equipment, it belongs to the national project, so there is only the ultimate performance required, and the cost does not need to be considered too much. ”

National project!

Wang Zhengguo seems to have some understanding at this time, if the mirror of large optical imaging equipment is not used by the observatory, then it must be an optical reconnaissance satellite and an aviation reconnaissance pod, after all, the traditional film return optical reconnaissance satellite is too inconvenient to use, where can it be compared to the digital optical sensor.

It seems that the Yankees' KH-12 is also already under development, and the Soviet Union's Amber series of digital reconnaissance satellites have been in orbit for several years.

At present, Professor Bai Siwen is developing CMOS optical sensors, coupled with the adaptive optics technology of the Shudu Institute of Optics and Mechanics, and the satellite platform of the aerospace port.

Although the mainstream academic community believes that the imaging effect of CMOS sensors is not as good as CCD, the problem is that the current domestic CCD technology is completely inferior to CMOS technology.

In this case, the investment in national defense scientific research projects is insufficient, and the use of relatively mature CMOS sensors can save a little less money, and the CMOS optical sensor made by Professor Bai Siwen is already the world's top level, and it is not impossible for CMOS sensors to overturn CCDs in the future.

"Since it is a national project, of course it cannot be shirked, the School of Telecommunications Engineering has a certain military background, and there are some responsibilities, and you still have to take on it. ”
