Chapter 167 You Can't Buy a Strong National Defense
The start of the domestic electronic computer is not too late, there was the famous director Hua Luogeng, as the head of the national special electronic computer research group, came up with the first tube computer, and after that, the self-reliant, self-improvement of the scientific and technological workers of the big eastern countries, continue to study tirelessly in electronic technology, the first time to pull out the silicon single crystal from the single crystal furnace, not much later than abroad.
By the end of the seventies, many aspects of the country have actually caught up with the technical level of foreign countries, for example, in 1975, China successfully developed 1024 displacement memory, basically reaching the level of the same period abroad; The HDS-9 computer developed in 1979 calculates 5 million times per second, which is twice the computing power of the IBM 370-168 computer, of course, the latter appeared in 1972, but it can also be seen that the gap with foreign countries is less than a few years.
Even, a domestic metallurgical institute at that time independently developed the ion implanter needed to manufacture integrated circuits and exported it to Japan.
It can be said that the first generation of national scientific and technological workers relied on the spirit of courage and selfless dedication to establish a comprehensive semiconductor industry in the country, and mastered the whole process technology from single crystal preparation, equipment manufacturing, and integrated circuit manufacturing. It can be said that in this era, only the United States and the Soviets have mastered the whole process, and the foundation for the establishment of the great powers in the East is very good.
But now, it has begun to become popular that it is better to buy than to build.
Now it is in line with foreign countries, the country's economy is transforming, everything is looking at money, and engaging in integrated circuits requires a large amount of capital investment.
Even the Institute of Computer Science, the country's top computer R&D institution, has given up on chip design and manufacturing, let alone other departments.
Doing it yourself requires huge investment and slow results, so why make it yourself if you can buy it?
Many people have such an idea in their hearts, their own vision is longer-term, global enterprises are a complete industrial chain, and they only need to become one of the chains.
Of course, to say that there are indeed certain problems in the current chip manufacturing in China, such as backward technology, low yield rate, etc., for example, scientific research and production links are separated, and it is not easy to transform the technology made by scientific research into production. However, these difficulties can be overcome, as long as there are sufficient funds.
This requires the support of superiors.
Hearing that it was better to buy a few words, Wang Xiaoqiang frowned, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, his hands clenched into fists, and suddenly, he stood up.
"It's better to buy than to build, it's not okay, this policy will directly destroy our independent scientific research and industrial system, as a computer technician, I personally resolutely oppose this policy!"
Originally, this meeting was not about how to make chips, but the feeling of being aggrieved for several months finally accumulated to explode at this moment, and Wang Xiaoqiang didn't care anymore, destroying the atmosphere of the meeting, and immediately said his thoughts in one go.
"In front of us, from now on, it will be a black box, I don't know how it is made up, I don't know what is inside. Yes, foreigners will tell us how to use it, but we will become vassals of foreign companies, our college students will never learn how to design and manufacture chips, our enterprises will only be reduced to assembly plants, our software can only comply with the technical standards and systems formulated by foreign countries, and there will never be our own innovation, and we will be bigger and bigger from now on. ”
When he said this, Wang Xiaoqiang was already gritting his teeth, we have obviously developed, but we are going to self-destruct this industry?
It's better to buy than to build, this sentence is like a knife, cutting his heart.
"I understand your feelings, comrade." The leader above, hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's words, his face changed at first, and then quickly returned to normal, and said to Wang Xiaoqiang: "You have concerns about this policy of the country, but you must also see that we are now, the first task is to develop the economy, make our country rich and strong, and to engage in chips, it is necessary to have a huge investment, and we can't see any benefits in the short term, so, we..."
"Can I say a few words?" Qin Zhenhua stood up, and then patted Wang Xiaoqiang's shoulder and motioned for him to sit down, Brother Qiang was very excited today, and Qin Zhenhua also knew why, but there were many things that he couldn't do anything about. A machine factory is not a chip factory after all.
Qin Zhenhua wants to speak, of course everyone will not stop it, he stood up, looked at the leaders on the stage, and said: "The country is now developing the economy, in this general direction, we have no right to speak, right and wrong, there will naturally be history to evaluate, however, today we are not discussing the entire chip industry, we are talking about the fire control system of the tank, of course, a little bigger, it can also rise to our entire military industrial system, how to buy in the civilian field, I personally do not have any right to speak, but, In our military-industrial system, I personally believe that it is not possible to buy advanced technology, strong national defense, and even some hidden dangers. ”
Qin Zhenhua sighed in his heart, in fact, there are now many people of insight who have realized the development momentum of the chip industry in the future, look at the newspapers and magazines of this era, and many people have begun to look forward, for example, in two thousand years, the demand for chips is thousands of times that of now, it will be a huge market, if you don't invest now, you can only sit back and watch this market be dominated by foreigners in the future.
However, I don't have that power.
Moreover, now, the country has been opened, the mind has been emancipated, and it is completely different from the previous era of two bombs and one star, in that era, in order to engage in mushroom bombs, everyone can tighten their belts together, is it okay now?
A few pieces of chocolate from a foreigner, a cup of coffee from a foreign country, can make people feel the beauty of life, and they are willing to enjoy a good life.
Times have changed.
In this era, it has become impetuous, and those who engage in research in a down-to-earth manner no longer have a market, so how the civilian sector does it is their business, and they can't ask about it, but in the military field, it is absolutely impossible to rely on buying.
