(The new book "Back to the Ming Dynasty to Open a Factory" was released, please support)

Zhu Mingzhong has been in a very good mood in recent days!

Of course, this is not just because of Han Bingling, although there are certain reasons.

But in the final analysis, the reason why I feel comfortable is because of my career. I walked into the company with brisk steps. Now the company no longer "emergency response" as before, but has two full floors, and the equipment in the company's laboratory is becoming increasingly perfect.

"Okay, everyone is here!"

As soon as he entered the laboratory, Zhu Mingzhong called everyone over, then casually wrote three words "cassettes" on the blackboard, then drew a cross and finally wrote a question mark.

Qian Le and others saw that the three-character tape on the blackboard were crossed out, and they couldn't help but lose their composure. They even ignored the few vague scratches on the boss's neck.

"Everyone knows that at the beginning, I chose the tape, but now I have encountered a real problem. It is not only the recording material of the tape that makes its recording quality average, but more importantly, some current technical problems have caused problems with players and others."

When looking at everyone, Zhu Mingzhong's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He took out a planner vertically and said.

"So, the company needs to solve a problem in the future!"

Turning around, Zhu Mingzhong wrote three big words directly on the blackboard - transistor!

After writing these three big characters, Zhu Mingzhong drew two horizontal bars under the characters and said.

"The next step is to develop it!"

"transistor?"

Qian Le and others have all the goals of their goals, and for them, this is obviously a brand new field.

"Yes, it's just a transistor, let's say that..."

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Mingzhong began to explain his idea.

"Everyone is familiar with electronic tubes. Whether it is a TV or a radio, everything is inseparable from electronic tubes. However, electronic tubes have large sizes and large power consumption. After all, every electronic tube is a small light bulb. Even the current small electronic tube cannot meet the needs of future development. At present, people urgently need a small and low-power electronic device to replace the electronic tube..."

In the past few days, Zhu Mingzhong has not been idle. He would search for relevant information in the library every day. In the end, he made a decision - to study transistors.

Although electronic tubes have been invented for more than seventy years, they are almost zero in the research of transistors. Of course, it is only almost the case. In fact, scholars of this era have also noticed the existence of semiconductors, just like more than a hundred years ago, more than 20 years after the invention of electric lamps, people noticed the "Edison effect" and finally developed electronic tubes based on this. Similarly, they also noticed semiconductors.

"...As the electron tubes are not ideal for processing high-frequency signals, people of this era are also trying to improve the ore tentacle detector used in ore radios. In this detector, there is a wire in contact with the ore surface, which can not only allow the signal current to flow in one direction, but also prevent the signal current from flowing in the opposite direction. In the past few years, many experiments such as Qinghe Physics Laboratory have been looking for detection materials with better performance than the galena crystals used in the early days, and they found that germanium crystals doped with some extremely trace impurities have not only better performance than ore crystals, but also in some aspects better than tube rectifiers."

To a certain extent, science needs to accumulate. Although technological progress in this era is relatively slow, many scientific discoveries have not been ignored, such as electron tubes and semiconductors.

"In the past few years, many laboratories have also achieved a lot of achievements in the manufacturing and theoretical research of silicon and germanium materials. However, they seem to have ignored them."

It is not that they chose to ignore it, but because the world has no pressure, unlike another time and space, this time and space have not experienced a world war. The only "world war" was the "civilization expedition" in some areas. The purpose was to eliminate barbarism, and that was the all-round crushing of barbarism by civilization. In addition to inspiring people's enthusiasm for studying high-energy explosives, rifles and machine guns, it only gave birth to "inventions" such as cars and armored vehicles.

Without the pressure of war or national competition, the technological progress in this era is slow. What is the root cause of the great development of science and technology after World War II? It is the competitive pressure of the survival of the country caused by ideology during the Cold War. And here, of course, there is no such pressure. Because of this pressure, capital tends to improve technology rather than research, which is really... makes Zhu Mingzhong not know what to say.

"So, in order to overcome the limitations of electron tubes, I know that we can engage in basic research on solid electronic devices. My initial idea is that we can focus on studying semiconductor materials such as silicon, especially the former, to study the possibility of using semiconductor materials to make amplifier devices..."

possibility!

For the outside world, this is of course just a possibility, but for Zhu Mingzhong, who came from the Internet era, he clearly knew what the future is, transistors, integrated circuits, chips... and even, if it were not for the reason of funding, he wanted to develop electronic computers. After all, electronic computers are the future.

Zhu Mingzhong has a clear path to studying transistors. After all, in the textbooks I have read in high school and college, there is physical knowledge related to transistors in the materials I have read. All I need now is to technically create qualified "pn junction transistors".

“Study silicon?”

Qian Le opened the planning book with confusion, and then immediately immersed in the content of the planning book. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at the boss and said.

"It seems that if you want to achieve this possibility, you must first make pure silicon."

“Is it difficult with current technology?”

"It's a certain degree of difficulty, but it doesn't seem difficult. I think we can achieve it."

Some great undertakings always start at an inconspicuous beginning. August 13, 13, 1950, was an insignificant day, but no one knew that this day meant the beginning of a new era for the Ming Dynasty. After decades of silence, the Ming Dynasty would set sail again.

The research on transistors was not as smooth as Zhu Mingzhong imagined. Even though he clearly wrote down the path to develop it, in an ideal state, it only needs to be "manufactured", but it turns out that it is just an "ideal state". In fact, from the beginning of manufacturing "pure silicon", the laboratory faced one technical difficulties after another, and in order to solve the technical problems, it had to recruit new employees.

It was during this process that Qian Le discovered in the Physical Laboratory of Qinghe Academy that germanium single crystals had long been discovered that other semiconductors did not have excellent rectification properties, so he immediately recruited relevant personnel to join the laboratory to study silicon crystals.

Although Zhu Mingzhong only pointed out the path most of the time, it still greatly shortened the transistor development time, especially after the relatively high purity pure silicon was made, the transistor research was much smoother.

At this moment, Sun Mengqi, who had been staying in the laboratory for research on sulfonamides, came to him again and said directly as soon as she spoke.

"You can't continue like this."

"What?"

Zhu Mingzhong looked at her in confusion.

"The funds that support the company are currently bank loans. If you blindly increase your investment in physical laboratories and have no further results in drug trials, the bank will intervene soon. Don't forget that the loans we received are conditional, and the bank is also responsible for supervising the use of our funds."

When reminding him, Sun Mengqi seemed quite unhappy because the boss in front of her, like a hand-off manager, completely abandoned drug research and focused on the transistor. Although she had already expected such a result, she still hoped that Zhu Mingzhong could give him some guidance. After all, as far as she knew, the drug sulfonamide seemed to be a group result in the laboratory, but in fact he played a leading role in the research process. Just like the current transistor research, the dozens of employees he hired are only responsible for realizing his ideas, that's all.

"Um……"

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Mingzhong said.

"We are engaged in chemical drug research, so we must hire a group of professional talents in chemistry and physics, which is understandable."

Looking at Sun Mengqi, Zhu Mingzhong asked.

"Don't worry, I know that this loan was obtained by you through family relationships. You have to believe me, the future market and profits of transistors will exceed your imagination."

Facing Zhu Mingzhong's answer, Sun Mengqi said directly.

"I know, you must have your ideas, but... I need your help and some guidance."

Although she was unwilling to admit it, Sun Mengqi did encounter some problems.

"Have you encountered a problem?"

Looking at Sun Mengqi who was full of anticipation, Zhu Mingzhong couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. What guidance could he give? If he knew how to synthesize sulfonamide drugs, he would probably have been engaged in research in this area for a long time.

"I did encounter some problems. When I was studying it, I found..."

Listening to Sun Mengqi's story, Zhu Mingzhong, who seemed to have a smile, only had one thought in his mind, which was how to dissuade her and how to properly handle this matter. Maybe he should change his mind.

"that……"

Looking at Sun Mengqi, after she finished talking about some problems, Zhu Mingzhong smiled.
