After leaving the HiSilicon semiconductor production and research center, Lu Zhou didn't get in his car. Instead, he took his driver and bodyguard and strolled around the industrial park.
Lu Zhou looked at the buildings on both sides of the road and suddenly spoke.
"Wang Peng."
Wang Peng: "What?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Nothing, I'm just asking. We've been here for a while, tell me what you think. "
After hearing this question, Wang Peng pondered for a while and said.
"It's very stylish."
Lu Zhou looked at him.
"Just stylish?"
"It's something else, but I don't know how to describe it." Wang Peng looked at the huge, square-shaped semiconductor factory and said, "Maybe … it's a bit unexpected."
Even though every country had its own position in the global industrial chain, as well as its own areas of expertise and core competitiveness, being able to produce and not being willing to produce were two completely different concepts.
Intel could move its American factory to Saigon because of the high labor costs in the United States. However, this wasn't because the American manufacturing industry was declining, it was because of cost considerations.
If there was such a need, the overseas production could flow back to North America at any time. However, China didn't have this condition.
Semiconductors were a sore spot in China's electronics industry. No matter how strong the compiler and design capabilities were, the chip manufacturing field was a big rock that couldn't be avoided.
But now, this boulder was gently picked up and placed to the side, which made him feel a little surreal.
Is that carbon-based chip really that magical?
To be honest, even now, Wang Peng didn't dare to believe it.
However, after all, he wasn't a scientist, so he didn't have anything to say.
"There will be more unexpected things happening in the future, you can look forward to it." Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I feel like I learned a lot from this trip."
"Like what?"
"The most basic is production safety." Lu Zhou smiled and said, "The production process of carbon-based chips and silicon-based chips is completely different. The carbon fibers and dust produced in the production process are flammable. Forget about the factory, we can't be careless outside the factory either. "
Wang Peng: "What do you think?"
"The entire park has to be smoke-free … What's wrong?"
"Nothing …" Wang Peng smiled bitterly and touched his pocket of cigarettes. He said, "I just think … the rules are torturous."
He was a heavy smoker, but he didn't smoke as much in the past two years. In the past few years, he would smoke whenever Lu Zhou wasn't around.
A smoke-free park was torturous for people who were addicted to smoking.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "I really don't understand what's so interesting about the smell. Isn't it better to quit?"
Wang Peng smiled and didn't respond. He coughed and changed the topic. "Are there any other places you want to go?"
"I've seen most of the places I wanted to see." Lu Zhou looked around at the surrounding buildings and said, "Let's go back."
"Okay, wait for me here, I'll drive the car over." Nodding, Wang Peng turned around and walked back the way he came.
…
Lu Zhou wasn't very familiar with the production side. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to invest in a semiconductor company to solve the industrialization problem.
However, even though he wasn't familiar with production, from a scholar's point of view, he could still give a lot of constructive suggestions from a technical level.
Because of this, even if it was purely theoretical work, as long as it involved application, Lu Zhou would definitely go to the site.
For example, this time, he learned a lot.
In addition to the most basic production safety, there were many other areas in the HiSilicon production and research center that could be improved.
If he didn't make this trip, these problems would probably have to be solved in the long production process by the workers and technicians at the frontline of the industry. Only by constantly summarizing their experiences would they be able to discover the problem and find a way to solve the problem.
Maybe Lu Zhou wouldn't be able to solve the problem, but he could at least point out the problem.
Lu Zhou would write these things in an email later. He would send a copy to Chen Yushan, and he would send a copy to Director Li, who was in charge of this area.
Lu Zhou's report would definitely be useful …
While Lu Zhou was on his way back, in the mayor's office of Jiangcheng City, Mayor Jia Yuanping was sitting at his desk, meticulously looking at the documents in his hand.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the office. The door was pushed open, and a secretary wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked in.
"Mayor!"
"What's the hurry?" Mayor Jia put down the ballpoint pen in his hand with a frown. He glanced at him and said unhappily, "You didn't even knock on the door."
Before he could explain why he didn't knock on the door, the secretary quickly spoke.
"We received news from the Traffic Control Bureau that Academician Lu just got off the highway at the highway exit in Jiangcheng City."
As soon as Mayor Jia heard this, he stood up. He was even more anxious than his secretary.
"Hurry! We have to get there before the people from the city council! "
The secretary was startled by the mayor's sudden action. He took half a step back and stuttered.
"Why would we get there before them?"
"Are you stupid? Of course we're going there! "
The relationship between Jiangcheng City and the provincial government of Hubei had always been very subtle. Although the former was the provincial capital, it belonged to a sub-provincial city. It was directly managed by Beijing, but at the same time, it was also under the macro-management of Hubei.
In short, the relationship between the two parties was not harmonious. Especially when it came to the competition for resources, Jiangcheng was like a sponge, crazily sucking up the resources of the province. The conflict between the two parties was obvious.
Because of this, after hearing the news, Mayor Jia's first reaction wasn't to report the news to the provincial government. Instead, he instructed his secretary to report the news at a later time while he rushed to the scene with his trusted aides.
However, what Mayor Jia didn't know was that someone else had the same idea as him.
Just like this, the two groups of people arrived at the entrance of the semiconductor industrial base at the same time. They stood outside the checkpoint and stared at each other awkwardly.
The soldier standing next to the checkpoint looked at the convoy gathered outside. He was very nervous for a while before he reported the situation to his superior.
After a while, the soldier received a call back from his superior, telling him not to worry.
At this moment, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a suit walked over to him, smiled in a friendly manner, and spoke.
"Hello, comrade, we are from the city council. Did you see a black car?"
The soldier looked at the man.
"Please show me your ID."
"Here's my ID," Mayor Jia said as he walked next to his secretary. He showed the red book in his hand and said, "We're really from the city bureau. We're just here to welcome Academician Lu. Can you tell us? Is Academician Lu still inside? "
The soldier took the red book and looked at it. After confirming that the ID was real, he raised his hand and saluted. He then gave the ID back to Jia Yuanping.
"If you are here for Academician Lu, please go back."
The secretary panicked and said immediately.
"We really have an emergency —"
The soldier interrupted the secretary and spoke.
"Academician Lu left twenty minutes ago …"
