Zhou Minde took Zheng Nan and Li Xing on a tour of his laboratory.

Although Jiang University of Science and Technology is already the top semiconductor laboratory in the province, it is still quite simple in Zheng Nan's opinion.

The laboratory is roughly divided into three areas, the outermost is the office, there are three desks, and the inside is a bookshelf, on which are densely packed with all kinds of domestic and foreign books.

On the desk was a stack of sketchbooks filled with formulas and a few mechanical drawings.

In the middle is a variety of workbenches, which are far from being the very clean rooms of later generations, and they have to be entered in dust-free protective clothing, which are equipped with all kinds of precision instruments, on the contrary, they are all kinds of stupid and coarse instruments, not like a laboratory, but like they have been to the production workshop of his father in the heavy machinery factory before, all kinds of metal devices are classified and placed, and even Zheng Nan also saw a small hydraulic press.

As for the innermost laboratory, Zhou Minde didn't let Zheng Nan in, because according to her, it was the laboratory where she developed etching, and there were too many highly toxic substances, such as concentrated nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid needed to be used to etch silicon wafers, which were quite dangerous, such as hydrofluoric acid, which is commonly known as "bone water", and even a little bit of it may be fatal.

Zheng Nan saw two sets of special protective clothing hanging at the door, although they were cleaned, although they were made of corrosion-resistant special rubber materials, they were still pitted, which showed how many terrible experiences he had suffered.

Thinking of Professor Zhou Minde's seemingly inability to have children, Zheng Nan can't help but be in awe of the older generation of semiconductor scientists like Zhou Minde, who used their youth and life to support technological innovation and development when the country was poor and white.

This visit also opened Zheng Nan's eyes, originally Zheng Nan thought that the lithography machine was just a structure like a magnifying glass, but he didn't expect it to be like ancient alchemy?

But it's right to think about it, after all, the so-called lithography is to engrave on silicon wafers like slates, and you can't do it without some strong corrosive things.

At this time, Zheng Nan didn't know that what he saw was still only the tip of the iceberg in the semiconductor industry and even the lithography industry.

The reply from the school side quickly came back, it was Luo Kaiding, the deputy director of the department, who brought someone over, and then Zheng Nan knew that the guy before was just an office director in the department.

No wonder you can't make a decision.

Luo Kaiding said that in principle, he did not exclude the establishment of cooperation with Jiangxia Electronics Factory, after all, the two sides have been very close to each other for a long time in the past, and even Jiangxia Electronics Factory is a part of the laboratory of the former College of Engineering.

But Luo Kaiding then changed his words, saying that it was a matter of cost, he thought that 50,000 yuan was too little, and the laboratories were all national semiconductor laboratories, and if the price was really low, it would be disrespectful to knowledge.

Li Xing was very dissatisfied, why was the director of the office this attitude before, and now that the leader has changed, this attitude is still the same?

Zheng Nan thinks it's normal, it's barely a business, it's normal to bargain, if he really sells the laboratory at a random price, then Zheng Nan will really be angry.

So Zheng Nan and Luo Kaiding repeatedly discussed this issue for a long time before finally finalizing the price of 180,000 yuan, which was acceptable to both parties.

Luo Kaiding shook hands with Zheng Nan: "Director Zheng is worthy of being able to contract factories at a young age, and he is really very powerful, I always have to tremble when I negotiate with you, for fear of falling into your trap." ”

Zheng Nan smiled: "Be polite, Director Luo is letting me, otherwise with Director Luo's ability, my doll can't compare with you, I can only play some cleverness that can't be put on the stage." ”

Zheng Nan also said: "I only brought 150,000 yuan today, and I will hand over the next 30,000 yuan to your financial department within three days." ”

Luo Kaiding nodded and said yes, and then took the initiative to invite Zheng Nan to eat in the school cafeteria, Jiang University of Science and Technology in this era already has a special faculty canteen, Zheng Nan Li Xing and Zhou Mindeluo Kaiding sat at a table, when they raised their glasses to celebrate cooperation, Zhou Minde finally couldn't help crying.

She thanked Zheng Nan and said that her laboratory finally had funds, and she proved that her semiconductor research was not worthless.

Zheng Nan looked at this scene and felt very uncomfortable, it is obviously the research of cutting-edge technology in the future, and it is the most profitable industry in the future, but in the eyes of many people, they just can't see the value, they just feel useless, which is really embarrassing.

"Professor Zhou, I don't care what others think, but from the first day I contracted the electronics factory, I knew that the future must belong to the semiconductor industry."

"I also know that the prospects of the entire domestic semiconductor industry are quite pessimistic, especially when we face the dumping invasion of a large number of cheap chips abroad, foreign lithography technology, manufacturing technology, and cutting-edge microelectronics technology are more powerful than us, and we are facing huge challenges."

"But this is not an excuse for us to give up on ourselves, maybe others will give up, but I won't, since there is a challenge, then fight, with the humblest dream, to the whimper and roar in the night!"

Zhou Minde shook Zheng Nan's hand vigorously and kept wiping his tears to express his gratitude to Zheng Nan.

and Luo Kaiding, the deputy director of the department also looked at Zheng Nan in surprise, and suddenly felt that this young man's image was so tall: he could contract a factory at such a young age, and he could create such a miracle of turning losses into profits, which is really amazing!

So Luo Kaiding immediately assured Zheng Nan that the department would give the greatest support to the laboratory, including theoretical and personnel support.

Zheng Nan also expressed his gratitude to Luo Kaiding, and Zheng Nan promised that if the results of the laboratory came out, the factory would find a way to feed back to the school after making money.

Luo Kaiding nodded with a smile: "Then remember what Director Zheng said!" ”

The meal ended in laughter, and then in the afternoon Zheng Nan and Luo Kaiding signed a formal cooperation agreement.

Zheng Nan and Li Xing returned to the factory with the cooperation agreement, Li Xing began to pack things non-stop, in fact, there was nothing to clean up, because Zhou Minde's semiconductor laboratory was more complete with various materials and equipment, so Li Xing brought over the most drawings instead, as well as their own hand-rubbed, soldering various copper wires of the "chip board".

Only then did Zheng Nan realize that in fact, the R&D environment in the factory was far more difficult than in the laboratory.

At the gate of the factory, Li Xing and the others carried everything to the car on it, and they were going to move it to the laboratory to continue research and development.

Before getting into the car, Li Xing assured Zheng Nan that he would be able to get the VCD within half a month: "If I can't do it, I won't come back!" ”

Jung Nam patted him on the shoulder and told him to do a good job.

After sending off Li Xing's R&D team, the old factory director came to Zheng Nan's side with a serious expression.

"Although I know that I shouldn't talk about this at this time, the financial situation in our factory is already very bad!" The old factory director said earnestly.
