In the huge research room, more than a dozen people, including Zhou Yang, were all watching the TV program in front of them quietly.
"Xinhua News Agency Telegraph: The Hong Kong International Table Tennis Invitational Tournament concluded on October 29, and Chinese athlete Guo Yuehua won the men's singles championship..."
The 17-inch screen is not big, but the picture is very clear and the sound is very realistic and high-quality.
What's more important is that the colors inside the TV are also very good, and it's suitable for light application!
Watching the beautiful host on the TV fluently reporting the news, everyone present was curious and excited.
Some people are excited because they have never seen color television!
And more people are excited because this magical TV was developed by their own people, and there is a strong sense of pride in this excitement.
None of them spoke, and they just stared at the TV for more than half an hour, until the "TV News" program ended.
As the TV program ended, Zhou Yang immediately said to Yang Guoan: "Professor Yang, call other members of the project department, let's go to the conference room to have a chat!"
"OK!"
Soon, the group arrived at the conference room next door.
After everyone took their seats in order, Zhou Yang coughed lightly and then said: "Congratulations to everyone, after several months of research, our color TV project department has finally achieved phased results. This is the credit of all our members. Let us Give yourself a pat on the back!”
“Bah bang bang!!!”
In an instant, the conference room burst into warm applause that lasted for a long time!
After the applause subsided, Zhou Yang signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said to Yang Guoan: "Professor Yang, please tell me the various performance data of our color TV!"
Yang Guoan was not pretentious, he stood up and said: "Our color TV has a 17-inch screen, using P process, sound output 1W+1W, power requirement 220V 50HZ, power consumption 70W..."
After listening to these parameters mentioned by Yang Guoan, Zhou Yang nodded immediately.
Although such parameters do sound a bit shabby to him, they are already very good from a domestic perspective. Even compared with imported color TVs from abroad, the advantages are obvious.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang asked again: "Professor Yang, can such a TV be mass-produced?"
As a scientific researcher, Zhou Yang is very clear about the difference between laboratory products and mass production. Many people think that as long as it is produced in the laboratory, it can be mass produced in the factory. This is a wrong idea.
Let’s put it this way, even if some high-tech products are developed in the laboratory, they may not be mass-produced.
On the one hand, it may be due to technical limitations. For example, some products have extremely high requirements for the production environment and equipment accuracy. Outside factories cannot meet these requirements, so they cannot be mass-produced, such as chips.
On the other hand, it may be due to cost constraints, such as flying cars. The laboratory developed flying cars more than ten years ago, but they have not been mass-produced until now. The reason is the high cost.
Domestic color TVs were produced by the Tianjin Radio Factory as early as the 1970s, but they were never able to be mass-produced due to this reason.
Especially limited by picture tube technology, because there are four main technologies for producing picture tubes, namely glass bulb, phosphor, shadow mask, and graphite emulsion, and these four technologies are almost blank.
Professor Yang's next words made Zhou Yang greatly relieved: "Director Zhou, we have made major breakthroughs in integrated circuit and picture tube technology. Color TVs with such performance can be mass-produced, but... ..”
"Just what?"
"It's just that if we want to build a factory, we have to build a production line ourselves. This takes a certain amount of time and a lot of money, and we don't seem to have that much money!" Yang Guoan said.
"money is not a problem!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "Professor Yang, next we will invest 500,000 yuan for you to develop a color TV production line. I don't know how long it will take you to come up with the results!"
Yang Guoan, Hou Junbao and others next to him were all shocked by Zhou Yang's words. With half a million R&D funds, Director Zhou was really generous.
You must know that as a national key university and one of the Seven National Defense Colleges, NPU's annual R&D funding is only about 800,000 yuan.
This is all the research and development funds for more than a dozen scientific research projects in the school. Even with their status and influence at NPU, the amount of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a year is already the limit.
Thinking of this, Yang Guoan gritted his teeth and said: "In half a year, we promise to build the production line within half a year!"
"Okay, half a year is half a year. As long as you develop the production line, we will put it into production immediately!" Zhou Yang said.
"Director Zhou, I would like to ask, are you planning to build a factory here in Babaoliang Village?" Hou Junbao also asked.
"I plan to build two factories. One is specialized in producing color TV sets. The factory will be built near Yunshan County."
Then Zhou Yang continued: "The other factory is used to produce color TV production lines. I plan to build this factory in Qin Province. From now on, we will sell color TV sets and production lines at the same time!"
At the same time, Zhou Yang also wanted to set up a factory specializing in the production of picture tubes. He was very familiar with the story of Changhong's growth from a dragon-slaying boy to a dragon.
If given the chance, Zhou Yang would also like to walk along the path Changhong took back then. This is the road to Jackie Chan!
Regardless of whether it is a divine dragon or an evil dragon, they are both powerful beings!
Everyone else in the conference room was also stunned by Zhou Yang's generosity, especially Yang Guoan, Hou Junbao and others.
R&D expenses of 500,000 yuan, plus the construction of two large factories at the same time, this investment is simply not worth several million.
They really didn't expect that this little rundown factory hidden in a corner of the mountain would be so rich.
"Since Director Zhou is so courageous, we will not hold you back and strive to build a color TV production line as soon as possible!" Yang Guoan said solemnly.
"Okay, if you need anything, please feel free to ask. If we can help, don't refuse!" Zhou Yang also said.
"OK..."
...........
After coming out of the project department, Zhou Yang walked home with Chen Beixuan, while Gu Chenghua and Qiao Weiguo returned to the research institute.
On the way home, Zhou Yang was in a good mood.
The reason why he is so concerned about the color TV project is not only because the project has a promising future, but also because he wants to save the country a huge amount of money in importing color TV production lines.
But at the same time, Zhou Yang also wanted to take this opportunity to slap some Western countries in the face!
Although it has been several years since the "snail incident", we have been reflecting on this matter.
Not only in the past few years, it will be discussed from time to time for a long time to come.
Of course, the same goes for the Thieving Eagle. This incident seems to have little impact on them, but in fact, their losses are beyond imagination.
After the incident, we talked about it with self-criticism: Who makes you weak and poor? They just don't care about you. If the project is messed up, they don't care at all. What can you do?
It's the same with Thieving Eagle. If the business isn't done, it won't be done, and there will be no loss. It doesn't matter if you shrug your shoulders, spread your hands, and curl your lips.
But they ignore one thing, that is, we are a developing country and our future has unlimited possibilities.
Because of the "snail incident", we gave up the introduction of color TV production lines from Zeiying. At the same time, we gave up the TV system NTSC of Zeiying and adopted the European PAL system.
We are a poor country right now, and it doesn't matter which camp we join.
But looking back decades later, it’s not insignificant, but it’s too important.
If the RCA project was negotiated at that time, and we introduced the Thief Eagle color TV production line, it would adopt the NTSC format, and Thief Eagle's color TVs would have a large and rapidly growing market.
Although I can't be 100% sure, there is at least a possibility that their company will definitely make a lot of money by relying on its technical advantages in display and broadcasting, plus the continuous income from the Chinese market. Just like those home appliance companies that later came to be known as Tiaobaji, such as Dongzhi, Panasonic, Sanyo, etc.
It is precisely because of this that the elites on the Thief Eagle side feel regretful every time they talk about this matter.
They can't wait to pull out the person in charge of Corning who gave the gift back then and slap him in the mouth. You have to give me snails if you can't give me anything!
But unfortunately, it was more than ten years later when they realized the seriousness of the matter. By that time, my country's home appliance market had already become a dumping ground for footbath chicken and Nanbang products.
Later, our home appliance companies such as Changhong and Hisense emerged strongly, once again slapping the color TV companies in Thieving Eagle in the face.
But that will be decades later. Zhou Yang doesn't want to wait that long. He believes in getting slapped in the face as early as possible!
At this time, he couldn't wait to see what the reaction would be like when people all over the country use domestic color TVs and exclude Thief Eagle's N-process equipment and technology!
Will he regret it just like in his previous life?
PS: The second chapter has been delivered. The state is not very good during this period. I can only update two chapters first and resume three chapters after a few days of rest.
However, these days I will write more on each chapter, and strive to reach 2500-3000 words for each chapter.
By the way, I would like to ask for a free gift, thank you all!
