It is no accident that NB Electronics can produce such an advanced color TV, and even if it is summarized, it will not be able to sum up any experience.

First of all, they can't summarize a prescient and prescient, and the regulations for the development direction of color TV technology could not be clearer; Secondly, they can't imagine how much manpower and financial resources NB Electric invested in this after drawing a few circuit diagrams and putting forward ideas; Moreover, all this was based on the already mature East German technology, and without the help of German engineers, it would only be a result, and it would not have become a reality for at least ten years.

What's more, in the eyes of all Chinese and Hong Kong R&D personnel of NB Laboratory, headed by the charter, NB Electronics' color TVs are the same as most of NB Electric's business, and they have congenital defects with a weak foundation.

For example, one of the three core components, the integrated circuit board and many spare parts need to be imported, it can be said that the current NB color TV only has "color" and no "electricity"; Another example is the steel plate required to make the shade cover, which is very thin and very strong, and is called "a work of art in steel". It can't be produced domestically, and NB Electric can't be manufactured, so it also needs to be imported.

It's not on the same starting line, and you can't catch up in a short period of time, so you can only take one step at a time, starting from the most basic things.

The glass shell project is for the study of silicon purification, all of which are looking for a world world from the sand, and the reason is similar, so the glass shell production area accounts for half of the factory, and the temporarily idle part will be used as the experimental base for the silicon purification project and photovoltaic project of the NB laboratory in the future.

The manufacture of shadow mask is to make a large number of trumpet-shaped fine holes on a thin steel plate, and only the comprehensive technology combining photographic technology and chemical corrosion technology can be used, and the most important thing is precision lithography and precision corrosion. With the progress of society and the development of science and technology. This is a combination of technology and processing technology. In the future, it can be applied to new tablets such as LCD, PDP, VFD, and OEL.

At the same time, it can also be applied to high-density, high-precision metal filters used in aerospace and petrochemical fields; It can even make ultra-thin, ultra-small, special-shaped and stacked metal parts required by micro-machines and micro-motors;

More importantly, it can also be extended to metal masks, metal grids, metal grating scales, metal decoder tablets, and high-power cathode grid grids used in the field of optoelectronics...... All thin metal products that cannot be processed by stamping, wire cutting and other machinery or cannot meet the accuracy requirements can basically be completed by the fine etching technology of the shadow cover.

Compared with the benefits that can be obtained after the color TV and display are introduced to the market, the colleagues of the charter and the NB laboratory pay more attention to the NB industrial manufacturing almost the strength of former East German scientists and engineers, and these production lines are also advanced in the world.

In short, technique is the eternal melody of NB Electric.

While Li Xiaoshan, President of NB Electric China, and Lin Houde, President of NB Electronics, accompanied the SAR government officials on the tour, they will be staying at the headquarters of the NB Laboratory of HKUST for the next three years. We hold the first press conference since formal independence.

“…… It is believed that people engaged in physics research, especially laser research, should be no stranger to Professor Alferov, who has made many major breakthroughs in the field of quantum dot lasers, and engaged in basic research work in the field of high-speed optoelectronics, which has laid the foundation for modern information technology. ”

It's been half a year, and I have to submit an answer sheet to the Hong Kong government and Hong Kong people.

There are some small achievements, such as the publication of some papers in academic journals and the number of times they have been cited. There are no major Nobel Prize-level discoveries such as the "giant magnetoresistive effect" and "carbon nanotubes" for the time being, but scientific research requires a process. Citizens with a modicum of common sense will understand, so they are more concerned about the fact that the laboratory costs so much taxpayer money. In the end, several of the world's top masters were invited.

Naturally, the masters will not appear on stage, and this kind of thing can only be done by President Gao. Under the flashing spotlight, Principal Gao talked eloquently.

"Mathematics is known as the 'King of Science', and in order to raise the standard of basic research in Hong Kong, we have hired the talented young Russian mathematician Dr. Grigory Perelman to our laboratory. At the same time, Professor John Popper, an outstanding chemist and mathematician who proposed the equivalent of Popper's theory and developed the most widely used method of quantum chemistry calculations, also accepted our invitation. ”

"Nerd" Rigory Perelman was fooled from St. Petersburg, and John Popper accepted the invitation of President Gao in anger because he developed GAUSSIAN, the most widely used quantum chemistry calculation package today, but was kicked out of the software development team by GAUSSIAN and even banned from using the software.

The young Russian mathematician had never heard of it, but Professor John Popper was so famous that reporters from several academic journals simply ignored the former and quickly recorded the names of Professor Alferov and Professor John Popper.

Deep-pocketed universities and research institutes "bought spots", while the president of Gao suggested buying a lot of "futures" in his prescient charter.

Professor Michael Smith, who worked as a researcher at the University of British Columbia in Canada, Dr. Kari Mullis, who worked as a general researcher at Setos Corporation in the United States before coming to Hong Kong, and more than a dozen scientists who have made or are about to achieve achievements have been hired with a lot of money.

It is worth mentioning that Chinese scientists account for one-third. But there was not a single Nobel laureate, which disappointed journalists a little.

Supercomputers and operating systems can only be announced after they are developed, otherwise they will not be able to be made and will really become the laughing stock of the whole world. In the face of the booing media reporters, President Gao changed his words: "Ladies and gentlemen, the north and south poles of the earth are the drivers of global change, the cold source of global climate change, and the important window between the earth and extraterrestrials, where human beings live.

The Arctic, in particular, is a hitherto unexplored and unpolluted area of the planet, where countless scientific mysteries and information are hidden. It plays an irreplaceable key role in the study of global change, especially global climate change. ”

The North Pole is so far away that journalists have the impression that it has only a little relationship with polar bears and "Santa Claus". By the way, there is also the "Arctic Circle" tour just launched by the Hong Kong branch of Pan European International Travel Agency.

Looking at the way they looked at each other, Principal Gao announced in a frustrated voice: "This year. The laboratory will organize a polar expedition. The founder of the laboratory, the discoverer of the giant magnetoresistive effect, and the journalist who is communicating at St. Petersburg University, is preparing for this on behalf of the NB laboratory. ”

Polar expeditions. This is definitely big news!

A reporter blurted out: "Chairman Gao." Will this expedition reach the North Pole? ”

"Of course."

"How to get there?"

"With the unanimous approval of the academic committee, NB Laboratory Asset Management has purchased an icebreaker with a displacement of 9,800 tons and set up a departure base in Murmansk, the Russian city closest to the North Pole, and if all preparations go well, the expedition team should be able to make the trip by the end of August at the latest."

"Chairman Gao, why is your laboratory going to the Arctic for scientific research?"

It's really an idiot who can't be an idiot anymore, such a person would actually be sent to interview a research institute, his voice just fell. Immediately attracted dozens of pairs of white eyes.

Principal Gao smiled and patiently explained: "At present, the speed of climate change in the entire Arctic Ocean region has far exceeded our expectations. The Arctic is arguably the fastest warming region in the world, and its impact on the entire ecological environment is also the most obvious. Therefore, climate change is one of the focuses of this Arctic scientific expedition, because Arctic climate change will have a direct impact on Hong Kong and the world. ”

"Last year, Hong Kong experienced a rare cold air, and according to the International Meteorological Service, the Arctic waters experienced a greater sea ice retreat, which is reasonable to believe," he said. There is likely to be a connection between the two. After all, from the past data, the cold wave in winter and the regional variation of summer rainfall in Asia. are directly related to climate change in the Arctic. ”

It is indeed very meaningful, a reporter raised his hand and asked: "Chairman Gao, I am a reporter from Satellite TV, is the scientific expedition team allowed to accompany the media?" ”

"We are considering this point, I believe it will not disappoint media friends, and this expedition is open, after all, the Arctic affects the climate of Hong Kong and even China, mainly in northern Russia, and we will work with the Russian side to carry out bilateral cooperation on issues of common interest and share resources, so as to learn more about the rapid change of the Arctic climate and the impact on the climate of the world, especially China."

Principal Gao paused, and then said: "We sincerely welcome all scientists who care about climate change in the world, but considering the limited number of places in the expedition team, we will conduct an assessment of the scientists who submit the application, especially the health status, and only scientists who meet the minimum standards for polar expeditions and participate in pre-expedition adaptation training will have the opportunity to go to the North Pole." ”

"Chairman Gao, can you introduce the specific content of this inspection?"

"Yes, this time, we will conduct research through cross-sectional surveys of key sea areas, long-term observation of anchorage blocks, navigation observations, ice station observations, etc., and plan to set up eight short-term ice observation stations on the sea ice of the Arctic Ocean. At the same time, we will carry out expeditions in oceanography, geology, glaciology, biology and other disciplines, and we will bring not only the courage of the conquerors, but also the spirit of science and reason......"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and President Gao only finished the press conference in the afternoon, and the phone was about to burst in the evening.

The meteorological experts of the observatory strongly requested to participate, and teachers and students from several universities enthusiastically signed up, and even the project was prepared. The CEOs of two local TV stations directly offered to donate 5 million and 6 million Hong Kong dollars, asking the scientific expedition team organized by the NB laboratory to give them the opportunity to report exclusively.

A group of Hong Kong sons, led by the third son of the Gu family, regarded the polar expedition as a rare trip, rushed to express their willingness to provide funding for it, and begged President Gao to give them a place.

The Chinese government, which has only been to the Antarctic and has never organized an expedition to the North Pole, has also expressed strong interest. Early the next morning, through the Hong Kong branch of the New H Society, he euphemistically asked President Gao to send personnel to participate.

More than a dozen universities and research institutes have reached cooperation intentions, and 37 places have been booked. Russia has 16, the Hong Kong Observatory has to give 4 places, the Chinese government has to give face, not to mention several universities in Hong Kong, each must give at least 3......

According to a rough estimate, there are only 33 places left for the logistics support team, including Charter and Xia Yao, who decided to go to the North Pole for "romance", and BNB News reporters, who are going to make a documentary.

The event was organized by the NB Laboratory, and it was not possible to go alone, and the young scientists in the Basic Research Laboratory had already greeted them, so they could not be pulled down no matter what.

The funds sent to the door could not be dispensed without, so the president convened an emergency meeting of the members of the academic committee, and finally decided to give up eight places. Two for Hong Kong Television and two for "social elites" who are willing to provide funding, leaving four places as mobility.

This ratio is the best, any more will attract criticism, after reading the email sent by President Gao, the charter thought that there was nothing wrong, grabbed the phone and pressed a series of numbers, and said in a very regretful tone after connecting: "Brother-in-law, there is really no way, so cold, you and my sister don't go." ”

If you can't go to space, you can't play on Earth?

How could Liu Siwei, who was enjoying life to the fullest, just give up like this, and pretended to be angry and complained: "Charter, you can't be the master of such a thing?" Anyway, I've already promised your sister, you can do it yourself. ”

It's really a person who has no money to live, a rich person lives to live, the charter was inspired, and he smiled: "Brother-in-law, there is really no way, why don't you two go to the North Pole to see polar bears, and Xia Yao and I will go to Antarctica to see penguins next year?"
