Chapter 230: R&D Capabilities of NB Labs
It was not until the last moment that Li Xiaoshan announced the true identity of the guests to the R&D personnel of the experimental center.
When the chief designer of reform and opening up came to visit, there was a thunderous cry of joy in front of the experimental building, and Chief Engineer Jiang, who was bent on letting Chinese use the CT machine made in China itself, was even more excited to tears.
"Hello Chief!"
"Hello Comrade XP!"
Their excitement was beyond words, and they scrambled to shake hands with the old man, and the old man also showed enough respect for these technical personnel who were immersed in research, and glared back at a few public security officers who maintained order, and walked into the crowd without hesitation with the support of their two daughters, and shook hands with everyone cordially.
"Chief, let me introduce to you, this is Huang Li'an, director of the Technology Application Laboratory, this is Jiang Yunqing, chief engineer of the medical CT research and development project, this is Dr. Zhan Zhize, chief engineer of electronic technology, and this is Dr. Xi Wenyao, chief engineer of the high-voltage power transmission and distribution project, they are all the most outstanding scientists of our NB Electrical."
"Okay, hello everyone."
The old man waved to the young researchers behind them and said, "Just now in the car, I told Comrade Zaishan, secretary of the Xiangjiang Municipal Party Committee, that technology is the primary productive force. When I see you young scientists, I see the future of China. ”
His accent was so strong that many people didn't understand it, and his eldest daughter was about to translate when the crowd burst into a long round of applause.
Seeing that Secretary Chang gave him a look, Li Xiaoshan hurriedly turned sideways and invited enthusiastically: "Chief, please come inside." Next, Director Huang, Chief Engineer Jiang, Dr. Zhan and Dr. Xi will accompany you to visit our laboratory. ”
"Comrade Zaishan said that you have achieved a lot of results in research. Hearing is false. Seeing is believing, I'm going to take a good look today. ”
"Chief, I don't think Director Huang will let you down."
The old man had a special identity and did not need to change his clothes like those who visited the laboratory before, so accompanied by Huang Li'an and others, he first walked into the hall of the laboratory building.
The walls are covered with award certificates, including the Humboldt Prize in Berlin won by Charter, Kwok Junru and Shen Xinru, and the Hong Kong Science Prize won by the team of Cai Yangzhi and Chen Wushou. There are certificates of merit awarded to the laboratory by several universities in Hong Kong and the University of Hong Kong.
It is not a heavyweight award like the Nobel Prize, the Wolf Medal or the Fields Medal, the laboratory headquarters on the Clear Water Bay Peninsula is reluctant to hang up, and the winners donate it to the laboratory, which cannot be thrown in the corner, and simply sent it all to the laboratory building.
For Huang Li'an, there is really nothing to show off, so she pointed to the left and introduced: "Chief, this is the computer room of the system engineering laboratory, where our programmable control software architecture was developed. The second and third floors are the library, and after Shengsoft and Ansoft have developed the pattern recognition technology. We're going to turn it into a digital library, and we don't need to take up such a big space anymore. And it's easy to consult. ”
"Ann soft, holy soft?"
Huang Li'an is undoubtedly a competent introducer, even if the programmable software is not introduced clearly, she also said the abbreviations of the two holding companies in a row.
Dr. Zhan Zhize hurriedly added: "Ansoft is a software development enterprise jointly owned by our NB Electric and Anton Institute of Technology, before joining the NB Laboratory, Chief Engineer Jiang was a teacher of Anton Institute of Technology, and several members of the medical imaging technology team are also from Anton Institute of Technology;
SOFTSOFT is a joint venture software development company with several professors from St. Petersburg University, in addition to a company specializing in computer antivirus software. Not only are we developing industry software, but we are also developing a computer operating system. ”
DOS is so famous, the old man not only heard about it, not only saw it with his own eyes, but also made an instruction that "the computer should start from the doll", but I didn't expect NB Electric to be doing it.
Really high-tech, the old man nodded with satisfaction, and while following the four of them to the passage of the No. 1 experimental workshop, he asked curiously: "When will it be done?" ”
With the kernel developed by "Finnish hackers", so many software developers, and hackers from all over the world who volunteered to help, it is not difficult to develop a free operating system, Dr. Zhan Zhize smiled confidently: "By the end of September at the latest, it will be available together with NB Electronics' computer." ”
"You still have computers?"
"Yes, but because our semiconductor technology needs to be improved, we can only assemble and test at this stage, and everything else needs to be purchased except for the display."
The backwardness of electronic technology is a long-standing problem, and the old man sighed secretly and did not speak again.
The process was the same as that of President Gao when they visited the laboratory for the first time, and the first thing they saw was several composite insulators. Although the craftsmanship was impeccable, it was really nothing to see for the permanent secretary and other entourage, and it was not until Huang Li'an introduced the true effect of this invention and how much foreign exchange it could save the country that they realized what basic technology was.
"To fill the domestic gap, it has incomparable competitiveness in the world, and I believe that it will become a new profit growth point for NB electrical appliances like the flat picture tube of NB Electronics."
An inconspicuous invention can bring such great economic benefits, the old man was full of emotion, and turned around and said: "If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and the lesson is too profound." In terms of scientific research, we owe too much debt, and when the economy develops, we must increase investment in this area. ”
Huang Li'an was not as cautious as the provincial and municipal leaders who accompanied him, and he actually said bitterly: "Especially in the application of technology, we are at least 20 years behind the developed countries in the West!" Many of the results lie in research institutes and laboratories and are not effectively applied. ”
System, in the final analysis, is still a matter of system. The old man nodded slightly, and then walked forward.
The second achievement is PCL and inverter, after Dr. Zhan Zhize introduced its role, the old man's mood suddenly improved, pointed to the small programmable controller in front of him and asked: "Director Huang, with it and software, is it possible to engage in high-precision CNC machine tools?" ”
"PLC + touch screen + drive + servo motor, it is true that the functions that can be achieved by the CNC system, but it is not a CNC system in the usual sense. Because CNC programming is mainly G code, the soul of programming is coordinates, and PLC programming is much more advanced than CNC programming, and the soul of programming is logic. Although PLC programming has a concise ladder diagram, it is more inclined to computer language than CNC programming. ”
is another series of professional terms, Zhan Zhize was ridiculed by Huang Li'an, and hurriedly added: "Let's put it this way, compared with the numerical control realized by the programmable controller + drive + servo motor, the professional CNC is more flexible, especially when processing different products, the professional CNC system can more easily change the processing program, if the programmable controller system is used, then the entire program must be changed." ”
The electrical company's laboratory must first focus on the technical research they need.
The old man seemed to realize something, and couldn't help asking: "Dr. Zhan, this controller and the software of this controller are more difficult than the CNC system, but you have made it, and you can also make the professional CNC machine tool system, right?" ”
Zhan Zhize nodded heavily and confirmed: "CNC, we call the professional CNC system CNC, if there is enough money and time, it is indeed not a problem for us." ”
High-precision CNC machine tools are too important for a country, and the old man didn't say anything, but kept this matter firmly in mind.
When they walked to the "territory" of Chief Engineer Jiang, the old man was suddenly excited, one, two, three, four, five...... At a glance, more than a dozen medical CT machines and seven digital X-ray machines are arranged in the experimental area in order of research and development, and the development process can be seen from the appearance.
Chief Engineer Jiang looked at the entourage behind him, and then at Huang Li'an, who was staring at him, took a deep breath, and pleaded with the courage to plead: "Chief, before the formal introduction, I would like to ask you to give an order. ”
The old man was a little surprised, looked up and asked with a smile, "What order?" ”
"In order to develop them, we have invested a lot of manpower and financial resources, and it can be said that we are smashing the pot and selling iron, so the relevant techniques and parameters that I will introduce will never be leaked out, otherwise this loss will be great."
Secretary Chang has long said that 80% of NB electrical products are exported, making money from foreigners, and earning foreign exchange for the country. The old man didn't feel anything wrong, and immediately turned around and said: "It's not easy to have these results, have you heard Jiang Gong's words?" ”
Although the deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee Chen is not as high as the permanent secretary, he is responsible for the safety of this trip. ”
"Whoever leaked out, I will hold anyone responsible, Jiang Gong, you can rest assured now, right?"
"Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie Chief Xie's understanding."
Chief Engineer Jiang focused his head, and immediately walked to the last CT machine, and introduced the technology and related parameters it used, and learned that the CT machine in front of him was more advanced than the American, Japanese and German companies, and the old man really realized the research and development capabilities of the NB laboratory.
He took a group photo with all the R&D personnel of the team, and even ignored the electromagnetic radiation and the opposition of the entourage, and lay down on the examination table with the support of his two daughters to do a full-body CT. It wasn't until the film came out and it was confirmed that this was not a good thing, and the old man walked into the No. 2 experimental workshop with great satisfaction accompanied by everyone.
The chief's health condition was confidential, and as soon as he stepped into the passage with his front foot, a tall middle-aged man pulled Li Xiaoshan aside.
"Mr. Li, you are a party member and have been on the front line, so you should know the discipline of secrecy. Could you please tell me truthfully, are there any negatives other than that bag? ”
Li Xiaoshan didn't dare to be careless, and said thoughtfully: "There will definitely be no film, but there may be records in the computer." In this case, I'll accompany you to the film room to check it out. If you have a record, delete it immediately, and if you're not sure, you can take your computer with you when you go back.
