Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2323 The First Big Event of Spring

three days later.

Nine departments, research institute.

Computer Research Center, High Purity Silicon Extraction Laboratory!
This is a specially prepared venue.

In order to build this venue, the security and logistics personnel of the Ninth Department were exhausted.

Fortunately, the weather warmed up after the beginning of spring. Since it was just a laboratory research, the site was not large. Moreover, there was strength in numbers, and the machines were ready, so the laboratory was planned out in just a few days.

Now is the time to use it.

"Master, this is Comrade Wang Manshan."

"Head of the technical team of our United Star Research Institute."

"His eyes are really sharp."

Yang Xiaotao stood aside and introduced the middle-aged man in front of him. He was wearing work clothes and had a simple smile on his face.

"Boss Yang, no, Chief Yang, you think too highly of me."

Wang Manshan spoke a little restrainedly, but he was very happy in his heart!
At the same time, his eyes were looking at the old man beside him.

There has been a lot of turmoil in this research institute recently.

What surprised everyone the most was the old man in front of them.

Thinking back to when the old man came to the institute two days ago, before he had even sat down for a while, someone drove up from outside, and then a touching scene took place in the office.

Later they found out that these people had come from other places specifically.

As for the local people in Sijiu City, I went to meet them the night before yesterday.

And after what happened in the courtyard that night was told by some people, the entire institute was shaken.

Where did this old man come from?

He is Yang Bu’s master’s master. This person must be no simple person.

"Hello, Comrade Wang Manshan!"

The voice interrupted Wang Manshan's thoughts, and he quickly came back to his senses, then smiled and said, "Dean Ye, hello."

This is the respectful title given to Mr. Ye by the people of the Nine Departments.

Since the other party is the honorary dean of the institute, there is no problem in calling him Dean Ye.

"Comrade Wang Manshan, our next experiment requires you to make the most accurate judgment possible."

Mr. Ye spoke slowly, and Wang Manshan nodded immediately, "Don't worry, I use my eyes for this purpose."

Yang Xiaotao laughed when he heard this. "This is the first major event since the establishment of our Ninth Department, and it is also the first since the beginning of spring."

"Whether we can get off to a good start depends on the ability of our comrades."

Then he took out a pack of cigarettes and put it directly into the other person's pocket, and patted him on the shoulder, "The experiment was successful, I will apply for a TV for you."

Wang Manshan, who was touching his pocket, shuddered when he heard this. TV?

Is that something he can own?

But it was Yang Xiaotao who said this, so there was no way around it.

Thinking of this, Wang Manshan rubbed his eyes and his heart was filled with fighting spirit.

Fight for the TV.

"This is Comrade Ma Hongjun."

After introducing Wang Manshan, Ma Hongjun was introduced. After some careful selection, they finally found the best quartz stone.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know how the other party made the conclusion, nor did he know whether the silica content exceeded the 90% required by the process.

But Yang Xiaotao knows that when he doesn’t understand something, it is best to trust the judgment of professionals.

Especially now, expert is still a very trustworthy term.

The judgment of experts basically represents affirmation.

Therefore, the selected quartz stone became the raw material for this experiment.

This is also a big deal for Ma Hongjun!
If the experiment goes smoothly, he does not expect to be rewarded with a TV like Wang Manshan next to him. He just wants to become a member of the sawmill and enjoy the welfare benefits of the nine departments.

This is a stable job!

"Hello, Comrade Ma Hongjun!"

"Hello, Chief! Hello, Chief!"

Ma Hongjun was about to bow again nervously, but fortunately he remembered Zhou Shenghong's instructions and stopped immediately. Then he felt that something was missing, so he said again, "I wish you good health, happiness as vast as the East Sea, and a life as long as the Southern Mountains!"

Mr. Ye was startled, then replied with a smile, "I wish all your wishes come true!"

"well!"

After introducing the two people, Yang Xiaotao asked Han Sanfeng, An Zhongsheng and Zhu Ziqing to prepare for work.

There are people from the Biochemical Research Institute nearby, preparing reagents and equipment for the experiment!
Everyone has already mastered the process of making high-purity silicon. If there is no problem with the materials provided by Yang Xiaotao, the result should not be too bad.

Of course, if there are problems with the process, it means that their technology is not yet up to standard and needs to be further improved.

As for whether it is a problem with Yangbu, then...

No one dares to say that!

Just as everyone was getting ready to start, there was a commotion outside the laboratory. Everyone turned around and saw Liang Zuoxin leading Mr. Peng and Mr. Chen, with a few other people following behind them, walking quickly over.

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly led everyone forward to greet them.

"Boss Peng, Mr. Chen!"

Yang Xiaotao came up to them and said, "Please let me know in advance that you two are coming to inspect, so that I can pick you up!"

President Peng waved his hand, "Old Chen and I won't tell you!"

After saying that, he looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "I heard that you have been studying stones recently. Lao Chen and I are curious, so we came to take a look!"

Mr. Peng spoke directly and his voice was a little stiff. People around him could hear the dissatisfaction in his words.

However, Yang Xiaotao didn't care, because he knew that Peng always blamed the matter and not the person. If he knew the significance of this stone to the future, he would probably find all the stones to study again!

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Boss Peng, you came just in time. We will start researching it right away!"

Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, President Peng frowned, then looked at the people behind Yang Xiaotao, feeling that this was not something that would lead to wasting time.

Mr. Peng didn't say much, just looked at the laboratory in front of him and then walked forward.

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly followed behind.

At the same time, he walked over to Mr. Chen to inquire about the news.

Old Chen whispered about the last time a blackbird entered the country.

"Boss Peng is under a lot of pressure. The other party might come again!"

"Therefore, the production of Baiju fighters must be accelerated!"

Yang Xiaotao understood why Mr. Peng looked like that, but it wasn’t his fault!
The production of Baiju aircraft is already on the right track, and we can’t increase production just by talking about it!
When everyone arrived in front of the laboratory, President Peng stood with his hands behind his back.

Yang Xiaotao took the opportunity to introduce everyone. When he mentioned Mr. Ye, Mr. Peng and Mr. Chen both stepped forward to shake hands.

As for the others, they all nodded.

After the introduction, Mr. Chen smiled and said to Yang Xiaotao, "What are you doing?"

"Tell me about it!"

Yang Xiaotao understood what he meant and said quickly, "Boss Peng, Mr. Chen, what we need to do now is to extract a special substance from the stone, high-purity silicon."

"ghost?"

Chen Lao started talking, and Yang Xiaotao was busy drawing, "Two pieces of silicon on the right side of the stone!"

"What's the use of this thing?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded. Mr. Chen was really qualified as the supporting actor!

“It’s very useful.”

"Silicon is a material that can be used to make many things, the most important of which is semiconductors!"

“What are semiconductors?”

Mr. Peng was curious and asked.

Yang Xiaotao explained with a smile, "Semiconductors are a special type of material, and it may be a bit abstract to talk about it in detail."

"Let me just tell you what I can do."

Yang Xiaotao came up to him and whispered, "Once this thing is made, it can be mainly used in integrated circuits."

"That integrated circuit can be used in a computer!"

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly explained. When Mr. Peng heard the word "computer", his eyes narrowed. He had heard Lao Zheng talk about this a few days ago and knew the gap between domestic and foreign computers.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, he hurriedly asked, "Are you talking about computers?"

"Yes." "Will that increase the speed of calculation?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't expect Mr. Peng to ask this question. He nodded and looked at Han Sanfeng beside him.

"Boss Peng, this is Vice President Han Sanfeng. He is mainly responsible for computer research and development!"

Mr. Peng, Mr. Chen, looked at Han Sanfeng, and then noticed the people around him.

President Peng had some knowledge of Han Sanfeng, having met him before when he was in the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

"Boss Peng, Mr. Chen, the computers we use today are still based on large-scale transistors."

"Based on the situation abroad and our own judgment on the future development prospects of computers, we believe that the future development trend of computers will be large-scale integrated circuits."

"This integrated circuit can reduce volume, speed up calculations, and consume very little energy."

"This model of electronic computer will be able to achieve a computing speed of millions."

"Every second?"

President Peng suddenly interrupted, and Han Sanfeng nodded immediately, "Yes, it's calculated by seconds!"

"And it's at least millions!"

After listening to what Han Sanfeng said, Mr. Peng suddenly became nervous.

A few days ago, I heard from Lao Zheng that there was a huge difference between the computers of the two sides.

Now, our computers can also perform millions of operations, so the difficulty of cracking the system will be greatly reduced.

Maybe, it can be cracked in less than eight hours.

This is totally unexpected.

Yang Xiaotao, who was standing by, looked at Mr. Peng's expression and suddenly relaxed.

The stone in my heart has finally been put down!
Then he spoke again, "Semiconductors are just one of the uses of high-purity silicon!"

"This stuff is also the main material for solar cells!"

“Solar cells?”

President Peng looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "You mentioned this last time in the northwest!"

"Correct!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and nodded, "I asked about this last time on the train. Our Dongfanghong uses storage batteries. If we replace them with solar batteries, it can last forever."

“So I thought about doing it!”

Yang Xiaotao said this modestly. In fact, if there was no system, he really wouldn't have had this idea.

But to Mr. Peng, it felt quite different.

This shows that Yang Xiaotao's exploration was not aimless, but had a purpose and plan.

The previous misunderstanding was because I didn’t know Yang Xiaotao well enough.

Mr. Peng didn't say anything else. Since Yang Xiaotao was so opinionated, what else could he say?

It's not like they haven't done any work, so why are you asking for too much?
Mr. Chen was also relieved. What he feared most was that Yang Xiaotao would not be able to achieve results in his new position.

That would be a great pressure for him and the people who support Yang Xiaotao.

Now seeing that Yang Xiaotao did not relax, the tense nerves in my heart finally relaxed.

There is no need to worry about Yang Xiaotao anymore.

"Xiao Tao, you guys continue, Boss Peng and I are just going to take a look."

As Mr. Chen started speaking, Yang Xiaotao quickly agreed.

Then he explained the manufacturing process of high-purity silicon so that the two of them could understand it.

While Yang Xiaotao was explaining, everyone had already started preparing for their work.

Han Sanfeng led the team to check again and again, and finally walked up to Yang Xiaotao, "Director Yang, I'm almost ready, we can start!"

An Zhongsheng and Li Haonan also came over to report the situation.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao turned around and looked at Mr. Xiang Peng and Mr. Chen.

As a result, Mr. Peng just waved his hand and signaled Yang Xiaotao to do it himself.

So after understanding the situation, Yang Xiaotao immediately nodded, "Okay, no problem, let's get started!"

In Yang Xiaotao's opinion, this is just an experiment. Besides, considering the domestic development situation, what the laboratory produces is sufficient.

If you want to achieve large-scale production, you have to wait until other technologies are developed!

"Master, how about you go back first?"

“That’s a long time!”

Yang Xiaotao turned around to look at Mr. Ye, but the old man stood up from his chair and walked over to him. "No, I'll watch here first!"

"it is good!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't say much and nodded to An Zhongsheng.

On the other side, Mr. Peng was communicating with Mr. Chen and didn't pay much attention to the situation here.

"Attention all departments, attention all departments!"

"The experiment begins! Be careful, be careful!"

An Zhongsheng was in charge of on-site command, and soon a cart was pushed in by the workers, loaded with quartz sand made from crushed quartz stone.

Ma Hongjun hurried forward and checked again before nodding.

As the car moved forward, the quartz sand inside was loaded into the calcining furnace. People from the biochemical research institute next to it began to inject nitrogen into the furnace and then started heating!
The morning passed by in the heating process, and at around two o'clock in the afternoon, the furnace was opened, and the calcined materials were taken out and directly placed in a cold water pool with circulating cooling water for water quenching.

This process takes about an hour. After quenching, it is manually selected to remove impurities and placed in a cool place to dry to obtain a layer of powder!
Because the amount used in this experiment is not large, not much raw material is prepared.

But at this stage of the experiment, only a small handful of powder was collected after drying!
Thinking about the small cart of quartz sand, and that this is all that is left, and that he will have to continue the experiment, Yang Xiaotao is a little curious about how much he can save in the end.

Not only Yang Xiaotao, but everyone else present was curious as well.

At the same time, seeing this scene in front of them, everyone who had been somewhat skeptical suddenly became determined.

At the very least, this series of operational reactions are similar to the process description.

At this moment, everyone's hearts were bursting with excitement again.

Mr. Ye was a little tired and sat aside watching from a distance. Even so, he still stayed at the scene.

At the same time, Li Hongfeng, Liu Huaimin, Yang Youning and others also came to check the situation. They also wanted to know what Yang Xiaotao was going to do.

Is it really as Chen Gong said, that he can turn stone into gold?

Because the amount used is small, the operation is relatively quick and the workers quickly carried out follow-up experiments.

"Team Leader Wang, it's up to you!"

Yang Xiaotao came over and said to Wang Manshan who was resting.

Wang Manshan had been preparing for this moment for half the afternoon, closing his eyes to rest and eating to fill his stomach.

Using your eyes is very mentally exhausting!

"Bu Yang, don't worry, I feel very good now!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and then the two of them walked to the experimental site.

"Everyone else stay away!"

Yang Xiaotao stretched out his hand to ask everyone to make way, and he took the notebook and prepared to go in to help take notes.

But before he could go in, someone came and stopped him.

"Bu Yang, you'd better stay outside!"

Li Hongfeng said seriously, and just as Yang Xiaotao was about to speak, Liu Huaimin came over to persuade him, "Record the data, you don't need to go!"

"You are responsible for the overall situation!"

As they were talking, Li Lei had already followed Wang Manshan into the laboratory.

Mr. Peng was standing not far away and looking over, and Mr. Chen looked at him with a look that said, "You go in and try it."

What else can Yang Xiaotao do about this?

I could only obey helplessly and watch from afar with everyone else.

Ask for leave from the bosses.

If nothing unexpected happens, A Tao should be positive again this time.

Damn it, this cycle, he wants to celebrate the New Year with me.

Just one chapter tonight.

If I don't cry or feel dizzy tomorrow, I should be able to finish three chapters.

Sorry.
