Chapter 277: Renovated Courtyard, Electronic Technology
"Mr. Li, why are you still standing here in a daze?" Old Ma asked in confusion, "The fields have been planted, what are you still doing here?"
"Haha, nothing!" Li Yang came back to his senses and laughed, "I just think that our experimental fields are all the material for 'ten thousand acres of fertile land'! You say, if it is promoted in the future, there will be crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and heroes everywhere, right?"
"Of course not!" Old Ma's eyes lit up when he heard that.
He looked around and saw that beside the rice fields, various crops were competing for beauty and growing well.
Corn, sorghum, soybeans, cotton... we have everything, each one stronger than the other.
"Are these also the varieties you have?" Lao Ma asked in surprise.
Li Yang nodded and said proudly, "Of course! Corn can produce tons per mu; cotton can produce 400 to 500 kilograms of lint; as for sorghum, even if it doesn't look impressive now, it can easily produce 1,000 kilograms per mu!"
"Oh my God!" Old Zhao was stunned. "Engineer Li, you are amazing! If this thing becomes popular, it will completely revolutionize our agriculture."
Li Yang waved his hand modestly: "This is all the result of the country's efforts and everyone's concerted efforts.
Think about it, among us farmers, which one of us is not born and raised here? Most of us have some land at home.
As long as the leadership pays attention, the policies are strong, and we are armed with science and technology, we can guarantee that within three to five years, agriculture will be transformed!"
Hearing this, everyone's hearts were filled with excitement and they were full of longing for a better future.
……
Li Yang looked at the newly renovated courtyard in front of him, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After half a month of hard work, this dilapidated courtyard has undergone a tremendous change.
The blue bricks, gray tiles, white walls and black tiles exude an elegant and simple charm.
Pushing open the brand new red-painted wooden door, you will be greeted by a spacious and bright courtyard.
The center of the courtyard is paved with bluestone slabs, with clear textures and rich colors. At first glance, the road surface is as smooth as a mirror, without any bumps or potholes. In the flower beds around, seasonal flowers are in full bloom, gorgeous and tempting. In a corner not far away, a stone water tank stands quietly, filled with clear and sweet well water.
"This is much better than before!" Li Yang looked around and exclaimed sincerely.
He walked into the main room and opened the door.
The layout of the house was orderly and the decoration was simple and elegant.
The walls are painted with beige latex paint, which is warm and soft.
The floor is paved with blue-gray tiles, which are non-slip and wear-resistant.
The windows are bright and clean, with excellent lighting and ventilation.
What satisfies Li Yang most is the modern facilities in the house.
The kitchen is spacious and bright. It not only has a sink and stove, but also has a brand new natural gas pipeline installed.
The cupboard next to it is brand new and bright, and it is fully equipped with tableware, pots and pans.
Turn on the faucet, and clear tap water will flow out, refreshingly.
Pushing open the door to the bathroom in the inner room, Li Yang's smile became even more intense.
The clean white tiles, the exquisite wash basin, and the brand new squat toilet all demonstrate his unique vision.
As soon as the water tank was pulled, there was a loud "splash" of water, and all the filth was instantly washed away.
The bathroom sewer pipe is an amazing project.
Li Yang designed it himself and buried it three feet underground, leading all the way to the septic tank outside the yard.
Now you don't have to worry about clogging or overflowing.
In each room, incandescent bulbs are hung high, and the light is bright and soft.
The wires on the wall are neatly arranged, harmoniously and orderly, with no more messy exposed wires.
What makes Li Yang even more proud is the big iron barrel in the corner of the yard.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary iron barrel, but if you look closely, you will see that the barrel is shiny black and there is a glass cover on the top.
This is the "solar water heater" carefully designed by Li Yang!
Just place it in the sunlight and the well water in the bucket can be heated to forty or fifty degrees.
In this way, you can always have hot water for taking a bath or cooking, and you no longer have to go through the pain of making a fire to boil water.
Just as Li Yang was immersed in joy, a lively greeting was heard outside the yard.
"Engineer Li, you're here!" Wang Tiemin came up with a group of workers, smiling.
The big guy was dirty, obviously he had just finished work.
"Captain Wang, thank you for your hard work!" Li Yang hurried forward and shook Wang Tiemin's hand tightly.
Wang Tiemin waved his hands repeatedly and said with a hearty smile: "Engineer Li, why are you being so polite to me? If it weren't for the work you gave us, how could we have this meal?"
"That's right, Mr. Li, you are our workers' great benefactor!" The workers nearby also came up and talked at the same time, their eyes full of gratitude.
Li Yang felt warm at heart when he heard this.
Thinking of this, he quietly pulled Wang Tiemin aside and stuffed him a stack of banknotes and a book of food coupons.
"Captain Wang, you have to make arrangements for the brothers." Li Yang instructed, "Everyone has worked hard during this period. Not only will the wages be doubled, but the food must also be kept up. There must be meat for every meal, enough water and rice, and soybean oil, soy sauce and vinegar."
Wang Tiemin was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and agreed immediately.
He knew that Engineer Li was always generous, but he didn't expect him to be so generous this time. His impression of the young engineer immediately improved.
Li Yang also instructed Wang Tiemin to prepare wine and meat and hold a thank-you banquet in the evening to reward everyone for their hard work.
When the workers heard that they could have a big meal, they immediately cheered and smiled, and became even more grateful to Li Yang.
"Mr. Li, you are our benefactor. We will never forget your kindness in this life!"
Li Yang hurriedly stopped him, took out a box of "Da Qianmen" cigarettes from his pocket and gave one to each person.
Those are all high-end goods, and ordinary workers may not be able to smoke one once in their lifetime.
Everyone held a cigarette in their mouths like monkeys, puffing away happily.
Every rough face is filled with joy from the heart.
Since they started this project with Li Yang, they have made a lot of money!
One month's salary is equivalent to working outside for half a year, and the food is incredibly good, with meat every day and enough white rice.
The workers were all delighted and worked extra hard, wishing they could take on all of Engineer Li's work.
Who asked him to be so ambitious? Not only is he capable, but he also always cares about his fellow workers.
Such a good leader is hard to find even with a lantern!
……
The next morning, Li Yang came to the United Technology Center. As soon as he sat down in the office, he saw a young employee coming in from outside with a stack of brand new books and placing them respectfully on his desk.
"Mr. Li, this is the reference book on electronic engineering you requested. The library has just completed it. Please take a look." The employee said attentively.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Wang." Li Yang nodded with a smile and rewarded him with a cigarette.
Xiao Wang was overjoyed and quickly walked out with a cigarette in his mouth.
Looking at the pile of professional books, Li Yang's eyes suddenly became deep.
Since taking charge of the work of the Joint Technology Center, the team led by Li Yang has made a series of amazing breakthroughs in the field of mechanical manufacturing.
According to his design drawings, the machinery factory is mass-producing epoch-making CNC machine tools that are programmable, high-precision, and have production efficiency dozens of times that of old-fashioned machine tools.
The rolling mill introduced a new type of continuous rolling mill, and the steelmaking plant popularized the top and bottom combined blowing converter steelmaking technology, which greatly improved the quality of steel and shortened the smelting cycle.
The power plant has put into use the large-scale generator set improved by Li Yang, with a single unit capacity approaching 30 kilowatts...
However, deep down in his heart, he knew clearly that relying solely on mechanical technology could no longer support the continued rise of industrial standards.
As a "man from the future" who traveled through time, Li Yang is well aware of the importance of the electronics industry.
In his time, the precision and efficiency of CNC machine tools were far beyond the reach of mechanical devices.
What supports all this is the advanced CNC system.
However, at that time, the New Yan Kingdom was still very backward in computer technology.
As we all know, the first computer invented by mankind was ENIAC, which was born in Demon Country in 1946.
It uses tens of thousands of electron tubes, is huge in size, consumes astonishing amount of power, and can only complete 5000 floating-point operations per second.
This is the first generation of vacuum tube computers.
Later, with the invention and application of transistors, the second generation of transistor computers came into being.
They replaced vacuum tubes with transistors, greatly reduced their size and greatly increased their computing speed, marking the beginning of a new era for computers.
However, until the 60s, Xinyan Country was still using second-generation computers.
Even just a few.
Although the performance has been greatly improved, it is still a long way from the "intelligent manufacturing" in Li Yang's mind.
Thinking of this, Li Yang sighed secretly.
He knew that to truly achieve industrial modernization, he must make new breakthroughs in the field of electronics as soon as possible.
So he plunged into the pile of brand new professional books and began to study them carefully.
I saw him staring at the pages of the book intently, his slender fingers moving on the paper from time to time, shuttling between lines of obscure formulas and circuit diagrams.
Gradually, the structural principles of transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits described in the book became clear in Li Yang's mind.
[Ding, the system detects that the host is learning electronic knowledge, and the electronic engineer skill has been enabled!]
[Achieved junior electronic engineer status, obtained 60s electronic component manufacturing technology!]
As the system prompt sounded, Li Yang felt a flood of information pouring into his mind, and his whole body became extremely clear.
Various advanced electronic component manufacturing technologies flashed before my eyes like a passing show.
First is the wafer production process.
I saw a silicon wafer being cut, polished, and corroded, eventually turning into smooth, mirror-like discs.
Immediately afterwards, the lithography machine was put into operation.
Beams of ultraviolet lasers accurately scan the surface of the wafer, gradually imprinting precise circuit patterns.
Exposure, development, corrosion and etching, layer by layer, integrated circuit chips are about to emerge.
In terms of chip assembly, Li Yang was also impressed by the advanced bonding and plastic packaging technologies.
Gold wire ball bonding, flip chip bonding, the whole process is smooth and completed in one go.
[Ding, the host has mastered the core technology of integrated circuit manufacturing and has achieved the level of intermediate electronic engineer!]
【Obtain the 90s large-scale integrated circuit manufacturing technology and personal computer system assembly technology!】
Li Yang suddenly had an idea. CPU, RAM, hard disk, motherboard... those computer components that are commonplace in later generations suddenly appeared before his eyes one by one.
