Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

No matter how you look at it, it's not a losing deal.

"Hongyi, let me ask you, are you really sure?"

Qi Sen stared and asked.

The way Liu Hongyi is addressed has become as intimate as Principal Tai.

Liu Hongyi stopped joking and said seriously, "President, if you give me money, I'll find someone to tackle the problem. I'll decide on the research team's work. I can give it a try for six months."

"Okay, then it's settled!"

Liu Hongyi "plundered" 300,000 yuan from Zhao Yuanfang and "left."

Zhao Yuanfang blinked his eyes and thought for a long time before he finally figured out the logic behind it - this guy painted a big pie for the principal, and then "took away" 300,000 yuan from him.

Why did I call him over in such a hurry?

The reason why Liu Hongyi wanted the 300,000 yuan was mainly to prepare for buying hardware.

Everyone in later generations has heard of chips. For a period of time, it became a "national tragedy" and people hated the Americans on the other side of the ocean with a deep hatred.

I felt like I was being bullied again.

Speaking objectively, we did lag behind a lot in chips in later generations.

But in this era, we are not that far behind.

The reason is simple: right now, everyone is still in the early stages of developing chips. We've also developed some chips, and our level is pretty good, not too far behind the Eagle Sauce.

Chips are the core components of industrial automation systems.

Without this thing, there would be no industrial automation system.

To be fair, we were at the forefront in many high-tech fields in the 1970s and 1980s. Why did we fall so far behind later?

It all comes down to lack of money.

The country has no money, and the enterprises have no money either, and cannot support the huge scientific research expenses. Many projects have to be forced to be cancelled, and priority has to be given to people's livelihood products and infrastructure products.

In addition, "borrowing" also played a crucial role in this.

In the early days, everyone was a little eager for quick success.

Developing a new product on your own takes too long and you won’t see results in a short period of time.

Even if researchers can endure loneliness, leaders cannot.

Because leaders have a term of office, during which they are expected to produce some tangible results. After all, few people like to make selfless contributions and do things for others.

There are ready-made foreign products that can be purchased and used, and results can be seen immediately. Which leader can resist such temptation?

Of course, Liu Hongyi had no intention of researching chips, as this was not his strong point.

He is also a take-it-all.

It was directly decided to use the Z80 chip which is already on the market.

It is enough to be used as an automatic control program.

What Liu Hongyi needs to do is organize a scientific research team to develop an automated production process for this steel plant.

This is a big project.

This is inseparable from the strong support of schools, scientific research institutions and Capital Steel Plant.

All of these require Principal Qi Sen to coordinate personally.

Liu Hongyi directly formed a "Computer and Industrial Automation Research Interest Group", which is also a "social organization" whose members are mainly composed of students from the Computer Science Department of Qinghua University.

The automation major currently belongs to the Computer Science Department.

The departmental reorganization, which was originally supposed to be completed in July this year, was delayed due to the "unexpected" change of president.

Therefore, Liu Hongyi chose to tackle this topic first, which was a perfect match for his major.

Liu Hongyi now has a long list of titles: member of the Science and Technology Development Committee of Qinghua University, deputy secretary of the school's Youth League Committee, president of the school's Student Union, and member of the Party Branch of the Computer Department.

He was the one who set up this interest group and project team, which was legitimate and no one raised any objections.

The key is that Commissioner Liu is quite arrogant.

They first choose a topic, write a report, get it approved by the school, allocate funds, and then form a scientific research team.

He took the money first.

President Qi Sen personally greeted the director of the Computer Department and asked him to fully support Liu Hongyi.
