Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

Chief Engineer Bi closed the document and looked at Zhao Guoqing with mixed feelings in his heart.

If the high light efficiency of gallium nitride light-emitting semiconductors is true, it will definitely lead the lighting revolution in the entire world.

but……

This is only in theory, in practice!

"The extraction of gallium elements, the growth of gallium nitride crystals, high-purity silicon wafers, and cutting processes... these will cost a lot of money!"

If you don't do it, you will always fall behind. If you do, you still have a chance to catch up. Mr. Bi's face became more solemn.

"And this gallium nitride, National Day, the motive is not simple, you said, this thing can be used in radar!"

Zhao Guoqing nodded: "Foreign military and civilian use are closely mixed, and civilian use is used to support the military. Mr. Bi, we only need the starting capital, and we can support ourselves for subsequent research and development. If everything goes well, we can feed back the research and development of the 14th Institute, and there will not even be any support later. We need state funding!”

"?"

"Patent! Mr. Bi, after we make it, the process and manufacturing structure will be patented. We can transfer the patent and also authorize it. I have learned that internationally, for patent authorization, the fee is 0% of the selling price of the finished product based on the composition. Five to five percent, our patent involves itself, we can charge five percent of the patent!"

"General Engineer Bi, think about it. If all the light bulbs in the world are replaced by gallium nitride light-emitting semiconductors, how big a market there will be. It should be several billion dollars. Five percent would be hundreds of millions of dollars..."

"Wait a minute..." The cake was a bit too big, and Mr. Bi couldn't turn it around.

Zhao Guoqing continued: "The development of gallium nitride light-emitting semiconductors can also drive upstream and downstream industries, such as rare earth smelting, wafer production, photolithography, cutting, masks, lasers, and precision machinery. This can support tens of thousands of people." Ah, even if it is a terminal, opening a high-end light bulb factory can continue to earn foreign exchange for the country!"

"..."

Hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange every year, that’s a lot of money. Not only does this solve the problem of 14 institutions, it also solves the country’s big problem of earning foreign exchange!

Have you calculated how much it will cost?

Zhao Guoqing took out a list from his arms and said, "I need some experimental equipment and raw materials. I haven't calculated how much it will cost!"

"Spectrometer, which is used to measure elements, vacuum smelting furnace, alternating high-pressure smelting furnace, infrared thermometer, electron microscope. The electron microscope is estimated to be imported and not available in China, light measuring instrument, clean laboratory, constant temperature and humidity air conditioning unit... …”

If you buy all of these equipment lists, it will cost several million.

This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for the 14th Institute, but compared to the income of a few million to 100 million US dollars, it is completely negligible.

"General Engineer Bi, I don't know the situation in the institute. These equipments may also be available in other units. We actually don't need to spend much money, just some raw materials..."

That's right. Chief Engineer Bi nodded and said, "The raw materials are fine. We can apply for them. If we can't apply, we can still buy them. You can make a list of the quantities you need..."

Zhao Guoqing nodded. When it came to this, Chief Engineer Bi finally got the vote.

"Let's go to Director Gao to report! It just so happens that Director Gao also wants to see you!"

"Okay, Teacher Bi!"

…………

As Zhao Guoqing chatted with Engineer Bi, several hours passed unknowingly. When he left the office, he realized that it was already dark. He looked at the time and saw that it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

"Why don't we go again tomorrow? Director Gao may have a rest."

"Why did Lao Gao go to bed so early? We can't put off this matter!"

Well, you are so positive, what else can you say.

When I arrived at Director Gao's office, I couldn't find him. The person on duty said he had gone home.

The so-called going home means going to the family area. Mr. Bi is familiar with the road, and it is not far away. There is a flat land to the east of the mountain, and the family area is there.

There are sentries in the family area and production area. In fact, although these family members have passed the review at all levels, they are generally not allowed to enter the production area.

The family area is quite large, with rows of bungalows and more than a hundred households. Each household has a yard where they grow some fruits and vegetables, and most of them also raise chickens.

There are several factories on the edge of the mountain, including a machinery processing factory and an enameled wire factory. The products are basically sold domestically to solve the employment problem of family members.

The people in the mountains are so miserable that many men cannot find wives, so they divide houses and solve work problems in order to attract women to the mountains.

To say that the factory area is cold, there is undoubtedly a lot of fireworks here.

"Hello, Teacher Bi!"

"Teacher Bi just got off work!"

"Who is this? Is Teacher Bi a relative of your family?"

Many people greeted Teacher Bi along the way.

After turning a few corners, we arrived at a courtyard.

"Lao Gao, is Lao Gao here?"

"Lao Bi, you are blind, I am right here!"

Director Gao was holding a washbasin to water the vegetables. It was so late, so he must have just finished washing up.

"It's so dark how can I see!"

He looked at the door and leaned closer to the light.

"National Day is coming, come in quickly!"

"Hello, Dean Gao! Hello, Auntie!"

"Come in quickly!"

Entering the room, the layout has a sense of the times. A red hot water bottle is standard, there is a washbasin stand, a square table, four chairs, four stools, and no other furniture.

Mrs. Gao's wife brought the tea and left.

"Lao Gao, I'm bringing you the God of Wealth!"

"Do you have a solution? Is it reliable?"

"..."

"National Day, show the materials to Director Gao!"

"OK!"

Director Gao looked at Chief Engineer Bi and then at Zhao Guoqing. If two people came over so late, something must be going on. They couldn't be using black material to trick someone! Not even thinking about it. When he opened it, his expression immediately became serious.

It took me a full hour to finish reading it, and I took a long breath when I closed it.

"I don't quite understand the derivation process. It requires relevant experts to demonstrate. Many of them are probably assumptions and require experiments to disprove it!"

Chief Engineer Bi smiled and said, "Yes, I won't ask you to check this!"

"Old Bi, I remember that you majored in electromagnetics. Why are you so knowledgeable in semiconductors?"

"..."

There's no need to expose the scars, don't you understand it's embarrassing?

"National Day, was it written by you?"

Chief Engineer Bi said: "I can't fault the theory of the National Day deduction. Lao Gao, please express your opinion. If this matter is done, our 14th Institute will never worry about money again!"

Director Gao frowned slightly. He was accustomed to analyzing the pros and cons. It was a great thing to accomplish, but there were many technical difficulties. He was not sure how much investment would be needed.

"Most of the experimental equipment is available in the institute, and the brother units that are lacking are also available. The institute can apply for some materials. I thought, so I will apply in the name of the third group!"

"..."

"If there is progress, the institute will apply for project approval again. If there is no progress, let's wait!"

Director Gao looked at Zhao Guoqing and asked, "Guo Qing, are you sure?"

I must be sure, Zhao Guoqing nodded fiercely.

"Director Gao, I am willing to issue a military order!"

Director Gao and Engineer Bi looked at each other, and both of them took a long breath.

What a terrible future!
