In the small town of June Fourth, Zhou Jimin came here again wearing a panda vest.
Because he wants to speed up the construction process of the satellite communication system, he is very active in this matter.
After the meeting at Wenjin Street yesterday, he only stayed in the capital for one night and returned to Northwest China the next day.
"Old Zeng, call a meeting of scientific researchers above professors. See you in the big conference room in half an hour."
Zeng Qingfeng, who was about to start today's research task, was a little confused when he received a call from Zhou Jimin.
But naturally he would not refuse this order.
In less than half an hour, everyone arrived at the large conference room and looked at Zhou Jimin in the chair with expectant eyes.
Every time there is a task, a meeting must be held.
Based on Zhou Jimin's expression, everyone was guessing that this mission might not be that simple.
"I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time for half an hour. Old Zeng, please ask someone to send this information..."
"The documents you are holding are about the technical requirements of the latest satellites, as well as some of my technical design plans..."
"In order to promote the construction progress of the satellite communication system, the work we need to do now will make the following adjustments..."
Everyone in the conference room looked at the information on hand, and it only took a few minutes for everyone to go from frowning to smiling.
As for the idea and plan of the satellite communication system, Zhou Jimin had already proposed it as early as the beginning of this year, after launching two satellites.
Regarding the role of satellites on the ground, apart from the so-called military purposes, pure communication technology is the unanimous appeal of everyone in the conference room.
If you want to explore space, you must take this first step, and communication is the most basic requirement.
According to the space exploration plan, the first is to establish communication between the ground and space, the second is video surveillance, and the third is to open a new era of manned spaceflight.
Now is just the first step of the plan, but it also means that the small town of June 4th is starting to run wild on the road to exploring deep space.
Long ago, bald eagles and polar bears had already started manned spaceflight mode.
Five years ago, Bald Eagle launched a manned spacecraft, and the pilot was Allen, the first astronaut in the history of Bald Eagle to fly in suborbital space.
The small town of June Fourth has just begun to build a satellite communication system, which is too slow.
"Boss, I'm a little confused about this technical information. There is no relevant chip manufacturing plant in our small town, but are the chip specifications mentioned in it too high?"
A researcher sitting in the middle asked a question, "I remember boss, you seem to be able to solve the chip problem by yourself, but our small town of June 4th does not have the technology accumulation in this area..."
Zhou Jimin smiled when he heard this and said:
"This is one of the points I want to talk about next. Since you have already mentioned it, let me explain it to you."
There is a saying in the investment community that eggs cannot be put in the same basket.
This statement is also applicable to scientific research projects.
There are many talents in Liuer Town, but R&D costs are getting higher and higher, and the progress has been slowed down a lot.
The main reason is the second request Zhou Jimin made during the meeting on Wenjin Street yesterday.
Not only is the reason for the slackness of those factories, but also because the quality of the related accessories they provide is too poor and does not meet the standards at all.
Every time the requirements for chips increase by ten nanometers, the technology will become more stringent.
"So, next we will set up a photolithography machine manufacturing plant and a wafer manufacturing plant in our small town of June 4th to comprehensively build an industry chain from the source to the product production line..."
Hearing Zhou Jimin's words, everyone in the conference room immediately cheered.
Everyone here knows very well what a lithography machine is.
A photolithography machine involves many optical devices, mechanical devices and other accessories, which are all precision devices.
Several factories in the mainland have gradually established a firm foothold in this field since receiving related precision instrument production lines shipped from foreign countries.
However, technology and talent training are not achieved overnight.
Therefore, the small town of June Fourth can only fend for itself.
Over in Liuer Town, the R&D and manufacturing work in the fields of supercomputers and communication equipment must also be taken into account, and the task is equally arduous.
Facing the Liuer Town, which was stretched thin and couldn't spare the manpower and material resources to help, Zhou Jimin could only prepare for a rainy day and seize the time to build it.
And this is one of the reasons why Zhou Jimin made his first request on Wenjin Street yesterday.
The development of the June Fourth town will accelerate in the future, and it will be at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
Therefore, a large number of factories and research institutes will be established soon and then gradually put into formal operation.
"Boss, photolithography machines involve the semiconductor field, and we don't seem to have talents in this field..."
Although he was happy, Zeng Qingfeng said slightly embarrassed.
There are so many subdivisions in scientific research, and semiconductors alone involve many aspects.
Just one optical instrument may require several optical instrument companies to complete the task.
For example, there is a high-precision alignment system in the photolithography machine. Manufacturing such an alignment system requires nearly perfect precision mechanical technology.
This requirement is the most advanced technology in the world.
In fact, Liuer Town has applied for a patented technology for fully pneumatic bearing design, which can effectively avoid process errors caused by mechanical friction of the bearing.
Another technical problem with the simultaneous alignment system is the alignment of the microscope and the alignment system with focusing function. Zhou Jimin discussed these problems with the Liuer Town to solve these problems.
It can be said that the technologies are all ready-made. We only need to mobilize some talents to help build the framework in the small town of June 4th, and then slowly add talents.
After a period of running-in, it will definitely be possible to build a photolithography machine factory and a wafer manufacturing plant in the June Fourth town.
Therefore, Zhou Jimin seems to be very confident about Zeng Qingfeng’s problem:
"Don't worry, since I raised this point, I naturally thought of a solution..."
"In the next period of time, the number of people in the small town will increase dramatically, and a large number of relevant talents will come to our small town..."
After hearing this, Zeng Qingfeng said nothing more.
"Okay, this is the plan. I have written down the specific requirements clearly in the plan. Let's work step by step and work steadily. I hope we can successfully send two satellites into space in September...
.."
Since two satellites were launched into space on the last day of last year, a third satellite has not been launched until now.
It’s not that Zeng Qingfeng and others are lazy, but the technical requirements are high.
After all, the satellites launched before were all short-lived and lost contact within three months.
Therefore, in the past period of time, Zeng Qingfeng and others have been studying geostationary communication satellites, and their designed lifespans are more than one year and less than two years.
If you want to design a satellite with a longer lifespan, the resources and time invested will increase exponentially.
Zhou Jimin is well aware of the technical difficulty in this area, so he doesn't become fat in one bite, he just takes his time.
After he finished setting up the satellite communication system, he went back to Bald Eagle to start making money.
"Boss, please rest assured and promise to complete the task."
Zeng Qingfeng said confidently.
Although it is already July and September is less than two months away, he is still very confident.
Mainly because the two satellites were successfully launched on the last day of last year, which gave him great confidence.
Other researchers in the conference room were equally confident.
The small projects that everyone is responsible for have been successfully completed, and it can be said that there will be no problems.
The most important thing about communication satellites is their communication function. This part of the technology is not their responsibility.
Equipment such as chips are provided by Liuer Town, and communication is handled by the research team of Fox and Lu Yun.
Seeing this, Zhou Jimin nodded with satisfaction and immediately dissolved the meeting.
But he still couldn't leave because everyone had many technical and detailed questions that needed to be consulted by him.
The main reason is that he often cannot find anyone, and it would be a waste of time to discuss many technical issues.
I discussed with Zeng Qingfeng and other leaders for a long time, but there was no result.
Instead, ask Zhou Jimin for advice, and you will get an answer soon.
Even if there is no answer, Zhou Jimin will give directions for everyone to refer to, and the problem will be solved soon.
Since there were many people participating in the meeting today, there were also many people asking questions.
By the time Zhou Jimin left the conference room, it was almost time for lunch.
He did not go to the cafeteria, but went home to see Xiaoxian and the others.
"Hey, who are you looking for?"
Knocking on the door, the little boy looked at the stranger in front of him and asked in surprise.
Fortunately, there are no big dogs like Wangcai here, otherwise Zhou Jimin would definitely be exposed.
"I'm here to find you. Are you Professor Zhou's son? Is your name Xiaodian?"
Wearing a panda vest, Zhou Jimin naturally pays attention to hiding his identity.
"How do you know my name? Who are you?"
The little one suddenly became vigilant, but Zhou Jimin was happy:
"My name is Panda. Your father and I are good friends, the kind of good friends who talk about everything. I know all the secrets you, a little kid, have... Also, won't you invite me in to sit down?
”
"No, dad said, don't let strangers into the house." The little one shook his head, still very wary.
"Are you mistaken? This is the June Fourth town, not your home in Beijing. Speaking of which, I gave this house to your father..."
At this time, Laosan and the others came out.
"Third uncle, he said he is a good friend of my father, but I have never met him, but he knows my name..."
Seeing his third uncle, the little boy suddenly felt like he had a backbone.
Compared to the rude little one, the third child is much more polite.
Of course, the third child also asked in a roundabout way that although he was not very mature, he was pretty good at dealing with others.
Zhou Jimin came to the living room and sat for a while, paying attention to Lao San and Xiao Xian. Seeing that they were doing well, he proposed to leave.
In less than twenty minutes, Zhou Jimin left and came back again, but he was no longer wearing the panda vest.
"Dad!"
The children all rushed forward, their mouths like machine guns, and they danced and told everything just now.
Holding the children in his arms, Zhou Jimin smiled broadly, looked at the little ones gently and said:
"It doesn't matter. When your uncle panda comes, you have to entertain him well. He is not just a good friend of daddy. Okay, have you eaten? Dad is hungry..."
"No, Dad, we are hungry too."
Xiaoyi and the others said with smiles. In fact, when Zhou Jimin held them just now, they felt a lot heavier and their bellies were round. It was obvious that they had eaten.
He didn't bother to expose the children's clumsy lies, so he went to the kitchen and started cooking.
There is no Huang Zhaodi here in the small town of June Fourth, so I have to rely on myself to cook.
Pandi and Laidi can cook, but their cooking skills are not as good as their sisters, so they might as well do it themselves.
After lunch, Zhou Jimin turned on the computer in the room and had a voice chat with Ding Qiunan who was far away in the capital.
"Hey, Mom, can you hear me?"
Hearing that they were talking to their mother, Xiaoxian and the others were eager to give it a try, so after getting through, Zhou Jimin asked them to chat with Ding Qiunan.
In the study over there in the capital, Ding Qiunan heard the voice of her child and was so excited that she almost cried.
She misses her children and her man even more, even though Zhou Jimin just left this morning.
In the morning, her man told her to come to the study room at noon so that we could talk on the phone.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
At first she thought it was a fake. After all, the June Fourth town must be far away from the capital, and it was still a confidential unit. How could a call be made?
I didn’t expect it to actually happen.
Therefore, she admires her man to the point of admiration.
After she had been nagging the little brats for a long time, Zhou Jimin finally picked up the phone and said:
"The technology is not very mature yet. After a while, we can try video calls."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. In fact, people abroad have already implemented video calls..."
The video call Zhou Jimin mentioned is indeed nothing new.
As early as more than ten years ago, video calls on landlines have already appeared on the streets of Bald Eagle.
However, the cost of this service is very high, and most people really cannot afford it.
Regarding this technology, it is actually just the synchronization of telephones and televisions, and it is not a great invention.
Of course, this technology is still very different from the video calling technology Zhou Jimin mentioned.
After all, what Zhou Jimin wants to achieve is instant messaging on the Internet, not landline communication. These are two completely different fields.
At present, the reason why video calls cannot be made is mainly due to technical reasons.
There are too few software engineers.
If you want to realize this technology, you must have enough software engineers, but the mainland itself is extremely short of talents, and it is more difficult to train software engineers.
The software engineers that have been trained are all treasures, and almost all of them are used in high-end scientific research fields.
"Okay, then I'll wait and see."
Ding Qiunan was in a good mood and chatted with Zhou Jimin for a while about family and work matters before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
Seeing him hang up the phone, the little goldfish asked curiously: "Brother, if we miss my sister-in-law, can we call her directly?"
"Okay, let me teach you. You need to enter two layers of passwords. Little Goldfish, you have a good memory. Remember it..."
Then, Zhou Jimin told the little goldfish the steps.
In fact, it is the password to start the computer and the password to open the communication software, double protection, so that others will not take advantage of it.
Although the small town of June 4th is very safe, you need to keep an eye on everything so that you can be foolproof.
"Okay, brother, I remember it."
The little goldfish has an almost photographic memory, so she only needs to remember it once.
"Okay, I'll go back to the capital in the evening. Remember to call me at 8:30. If you don't call me, I'll call you at 8:40. Remember?"
"Remember."
But Xiaoyi said that she wanted to go home.
When she said this, Xiaoxian, Xiaobai and the others also said that they missed their mother and wanted to go home to see her.
Zhou Jimin looked at them seriously, "It's only been a few days? You already want to go back? That's not possible. I asked you before I came. You said you wanted to come."
"Let's wait until school starts. I'll send you back at the end of August."
Huh?
The children were immediately dumbfounded, so they quickly resorted to the big trick of acting like a spoiled child.
But it's no use. Their father is so determined that he won't take them home.
So, they had no choice but to let him go first, and planned to follow wherever their father went, never leaving him.
After lunch break, at 1:30, Zhou Jimin got up and left, going to the Aircraft Research Institute.
Several children are all following him, and he doesn't care about it.
When they arrived at the place, they didn't have access cards, so they had to be blocked out.
Fortunately, there was a security booth standing guard at the door, and the soldiers asked them to come in and sit down.
But they stayed for less than half an hour and left out of boredom.
It’s so boring. If you don’t leave, you’ll be bored to death.
Inside the institute, Zhou Jimin didn’t know this. Even if he knew, he would just smile.
How can the little kids endure being bored for a long time? If you want to return to the capital, you can only wait until the end of August.
"Lao Xu, look at this drawing. I have marked it. This part of the alloy material must be reduced by another tenth of a millimeter..."
Right now, Xu Lei and the others are discussing the internal parts of the latest engine, because during the test, they still did not reach the predetermined value.
The progress of aircraft research in June Fourth Town is still a bit slow.
There are too few talents to promote multiple projects at the same time. Currently, up to three to four projects can be carried out simultaneously. If there are more, the research progress will be slowed down.
After the J-65 fighter, the J-66 fighter is currently being developed, but the progress is very slow. It would be very good if it can be released before the end of this year.
In addition, there is also research and development work on two types of aircraft: transport aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft.
But it is obvious that transport aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft are not expected to be seen until next year.
Zhou Jimin has no idea of destroying growth. If the manufacturing industry cannot keep up, everything else will be in vain.
Therefore, it is only right to take advantage of the current time to recruit more talents to build the June Fourth Town.
