Chapter 1343

Li Hongyan took Zhou Andong and the others into a room with an area of about a hundred square meters.

Rows of brand-new cabinets were neatly arranged, with names written on the cabinet doors.

It was a bit like the changing room of a later-generation bath center, but it was very clean here; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was spotless.

Right at the entrance, there was a desk, and against the wall, there was a large file rack and a safe.

A girl wearing an anti-static suit and a mask was lying on the table writing something.

When she heard the door sound, she looked up and saw it was Li Hongyan, so she hurriedly stood up.

"Director!"

Li Hongyan nodded: "Get us a few anti-static suits and shoes, and masks."

"Okay!"

The girl glanced at the number of people and turned to walk inside; there was another door over there.

She opened the door and walked in, and soon came out with anti-static suits and shoes.

Li Hongyan said: "Whether it's R&D personnel or external personnel, you must wear anti-static suits and shoes when entering the laboratory. After leaving the laboratory, you must take them off and are not allowed to take them out."

Li Hongyan took the anti-static suits and shoes and handed them to Zhou Andong, Seeing Jian Qiu, and Gu Bing.

Zhou Andong put his on first, then helped Seeing Jian Qiu put hers on.

The anti-static shoes were of the sleeve type; you didn't need to take off your shoes, just slip them over your feet.

"Let's go!" Li Hongyan said and stepped forward to walk out: "Currently, the research institute has enabled 33 laboratories, each equipped with a special manager.

All instruments and equipment in each laboratory are managed by special managers. We must establish files and cards, master the performance and operation methods of the instruments and equipment proficiently, establish standardized operation and usage procedures for instruments and equipment, and do a good job in daily maintenance and upkeep of the instruments and equipment.

We must regularly verify and calibrate the performance indicators of the instruments and equipment, must possess equipment fault diagnosis capabilities and minor fault troubleshooting capabilities, and contact professional personnel for repairs in case of major faults.

And we need to establish technical file materials for all instruments and equipment, including instruction manuals, technical data, usage records, daily maintenance and repair records, and related consumable records..."

Zhou Andong sighed: "Being a special manager in a laboratory, you can't do it without some real skills."

"More than just some skills." Li Hongyan said: "The little girl just now is the special manager of Laboratory No. 5. Do you know which university she graduated from?"

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Listening to your tone, that little girl's background isn't small."

"Harbin Institute of Technology." Li Hongyan said: "She is a Master of Semiconductor Devices and is preparing to study for a PhD. She came over with her teacher."

Harbin Institute of Technology has formidable engineering strength; even Tsinghua has to stand aside. For Zhou Andong, that is absolutely a holy land for scientific research.

"A Master from Harbin Institute of Technology—isn't it a bit of a waste of talent to let her be a laboratory special manager?"

Li Hongyan laughed: "Letting her be a special manager is to lay a foundation for her."

Zhou Andong understood. Special managers need to be familiar with various instruments and equipment, proficiently master their performance and operation methods, and also do daily maintenance and upkeep.

In the future, if she has independent research projects, she can immediately get started with any instrument or equipment without needing to adapt, which would delay R&D progress or even cause mistakes and unnecessary losses.

Zhou Andong asked: "Currently, 33 laboratories have been enabled. Buying scientific research instruments and equipment must have cost a lot of money. Is the funding given to you before enough?"

"It's enough for now." Li Hongyan said: "We have a batch of instruments and equipment ourselves. Although they are a bit old, they can all be used. Also, there are many research institutions like Factory 109, Harbin Measuring and Cutting Tool Factory, Acheng Relay Factory, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute 45, etc.

The old director visited those old friends one by one. Not only did he poach the people, but he also packed up and bought some instruments and equipment, including the original R&D data for the lithography machine."

This was already within Zhou Andong's expectations. For true experts and professors,

scientific research is their everything; they are truly without desire or demand and don't care about fame or fortune.

But under the current general environment, various domestic research institutes and institutions have had many projects shut down, and some have even reached the point of having no rice to cook.

Therefore, as long as you give them a chance and provide them with three meals a day, they are willing to work even without a salary.

And the leaders of the research institutes and institutions are more than happy for you to poach the people; one less person means one less mouth to feed.

It also saves these old things from running to the office every day to find trouble, either asking for money or asking for money, and if they get anxious, they even curse.

As for the instruments, equipment, and research data, those guys, for the sake of money, could even dig up their own ancestral graves, let alone these useless broken things.

If you don't take advantage of someone buying them now, are you going to leave them there waiting to rust? And those research data, are you going to pile them up waiting to raise rats?

Li Hongyan took Zhou Andong and the others to Laboratory No. 5 and reached out to push open the door.

The area of the research laboratory is very large, about three or four hundred square meters, with various instruments Zhou Andong doesn't understand arranged in different areas.

There are more than twenty people busy inside, but apart from the current sound emitted by a certain instrument or equipment, there is no other sound.

Even if someone is communicating, the voice is very small; you can't hear it at all if you aren't standing right next to them.

Zhou Andong scanned the room. Everyone was wearing anti-static suits and shoes, hats, and masks, and it was impossible to tell who was who.

Immediately after, someone noticed them and walked over.

Only then did Zhou Andong see clearly that everyone had a name tag on their chest with their name on it.

The person who walked over was the old director, Chen Guofeng. He didn't see name tags on Zhou Andong and the others, so he looked at Li Hongyan with suspicion.

"Old Director, this is Chairman Zhou!"

Chen Guofeng's eyes lit up instantly, and he shook hands with Zhou Andong: "Chairman Zhou, welcome to the research institute to inspect and guide our work."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Old Director, let's skip the formalities. What inspection and guidance? I'm just here to see you and Engineer Ni, and by the way, understand the R&D progress of the flash memory chip."

Chen Guofeng turned his head and shouted: "Old Ni!"

Engineer Ni was busy with his head down. Hearing someone call him, he looked up.

Chen Guofeng waved his hand, and Engineer Ni turned and walked over.

"Didn't you always want to see Chairman Zhou? He's here to see you." Chen Guofeng pointed to Zhou Andong with a smile: "This is Chairman Zhou."

Engineer Ni was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and shook hands with Zhou Andong enthusiastically.

"Chairman Zhou, I've long wanted to meet you, but you've been too busy, and I never found the time."

Zhou Andong held Engineer Ni's hand and said very sincerely: "Engineer Ni, thank you for your hard work. Whether we can have our own Chinese core depends on you, the old director, and all the experts."

"Our own Chinese core." Engineer Ni muttered, grabbing Zhou Andong's hand and tightening his grip: "Good, well said. We must have our own Chinese core, and we definitely will."
