Cutting-edge technology: Starting with individual stealth equipment

Chapter 10 Wind Exploration and Technology Verification

"Mr. Qiu, you came here today not just to offer your congratulations, right?" Lin Chuan leaned against his desk and asked bluntly.

"Of course not." Qiu Zhanfeng smiled and said calmly, "But I'm mainly here to congratulate you. We've been partners for a long time, and it's only right that I come and support you now that your new company is opening."

He paused, then added with a smile, "Besides, we're all in the same industry, so it's necessary to keep in touch and maintain a good relationship."

Lin Chuan sensed the veiled meaning in his words.

Since they're both in the same industry, this statement clearly reflects concerns about whether DeepBlue Technology might become a competitor to Skyworth.

"Don't worry," Lin Chuan said directly, "DeepBlue and Skyworth will not become competitors."

Qiu Zhanfeng was quite surprised by these words, clearly not expecting Lin Chuan to be so blunt.

"Oh? What direction does DeepBlue Technology plan to take?"

Lin Chuan smiled and replied calmly, "I have no comment on that."

Qiu Zhanfeng's smile froze for a moment, then returned to normal, and he said with a smile again, "I understand, it's a trade secret."

His gaze lingered on Lin Chuan's face for a few seconds, as if judging the truth of his words.

"Since President Lin said we won't become competitors, I believe him," Qiu Zhanfeng said with a smile. "Let's part ways amicably and go our separate ways from now on, but if you need any help, just let me know."

When he said this, his tone was as sincere as that of an old friend, and both of them knew that they were just putting on an act.

It's just polite talk.

"Then I won't bother you any longer." Qiu Zhanfeng turned and walked towards the door, but after taking a couple of steps, he turned back and said with a smile, "By the way, I wish DeepBlue Technology a prosperous business and that it will grow bigger and stronger soon."

After saying that, Qiu Zhanfeng turned around, and the smile on his face vanished instantly.

While verbally congratulating DeepBlue Technology on its growth and prosperity, they secretly hoped it would go bankrupt and close down as soon as possible.

If Lin Chuan succeeds, even more so than Skyworth Technology, it will be more painful for him than if he fails.

The elevator reached the first floor. Qiu Zhanfeng straightened his tie, strode out, glanced at the office building, then looked away and left without looking back.

The main purpose of this trip has been achieved. Lin Chuan founded DeepBlue Technology not to work in his old profession, so he is relieved.

Clearly, Qiu Zhanfeng was very wary of Lin Chuan.

Because some of Skyworth Technology's clients had already terminated their contracts, and the reason given for the termination was Lin Chuan's departure, he felt vaguely uneasy.

If DeepBlue Technology and Skyworth become competitors, Qiu Zhanfeng is genuinely worried that Skyworth's customers will be poached by him.

Qiu Zhanfeng valued Lin Chuan highly, but Lin Chuan didn't care about him at all. He held no weight in Qiu Zhanfeng's heart, let alone posed any threat.

At that moment, Zhang Wei cursed, "What bad luck to run into this guy on such a fine day!"

Cheng Siyuan said with a smile, "They're here to gather intelligence. It's clear that Skyworth is wary of us becoming their competitor."

Lin Chuan said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Skyworth is no longer related to us. We've completely severed ties. Let's just focus on our own business."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and after the brief incident, the celebration continued.

……

The following day, everyone officially started work.

"I just calculated your purchase list. This whole thing will cost at least seven million. The company only has seven million in the account right now. We'll be broke after this is done."

Jiang Miaolan was in Lin Chuan's office. Looking at him, she added, "You went all in just to verify something from a dream?"

Lin Chuan met her gaze and smiled, "Calm down, don't panic, trust your genius intuition."

Jiang Miaolan added, "But what if we fail?"

Lin Chuan: "Then let's ask our senior sister for some more support, and let Xiao Chuan contribute a little more. It's no big deal."

Jiang Miaolan: "..."

She immediately rolled her eyes at him, clearly annoyed.

Then, she suddenly smiled and looked at Lin Chuan, saying, "You've reminded me. I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot. Now that things are basically settled, it's time to pay the taxes."

After saying that, Jiang Miaolan locked the door from the inside, turned around leisurely and walked gracefully towards Lin Chuan, her smile captivating. She walked along the edge of the desk towards Lin Chuan inside.

Seeing her like this, Lin Chuan immediately stopped her, saying, "This place won't do. The soundproofing is bad. Don't you know how loud you are? When the company is up and running, we can move to a better venue or even have our own headquarters building. Then we can do whatever we want. We can find another place to do it after work."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Miaolan thought about it and agreed.

In the early stages of the company, the office space was in poor condition, and the soundproofing was not very good.

Jiang Miaolan looked at him and snorted, "Hmph~, I'll let you get away with this once."

After the little incident, we returned to work-related matters.

Lin Chuan laughed and said, "Go ahead and release the loan. Let Zhang Wei handle the procurement."

……

In the days that followed, Lin Chuan and his team began to push forward with the verification of the stealth technology.

Huang Chongwei locked himself in the laboratory, where the magnetron sputtering instrument, which he had bought from a second-hand market, was rusty on the outside and disassembled into pieces inside.

Following the blueprints, he dismantled the old target platform, spun a new one on a lathe, and installed the gas pipeline.

On the third day, when we tried to create a vacuum, it leaked.

He disassembled all the joints, reapplied the glue, and tried to remove it again, but it still leaked.

On the fifth day, he found the cause: there was a trachoma on the cavity that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

He plugged it with epoxy resin, then pumped it again, and finally the vacuum level met the requirements.

A week later, the first sedimentation began.

Carbon atoms are sputtered from a graphite target in plasma and land on a silicon wafer substrate.

Twenty days later, an engineer from the MEMS foundry called Guo Tao and said that the pixel units of the sensor array he designed were too small. Although the alignment of the lithography machine could be achieved, the yield would not be very high.

Guo Tao asked the other party to make two samples first.

Two wafers, each with two hundred chips.

The test results showed that 193 of them were short-circuited, and 7 were barely usable, but the noise was outrageously loud.

He used a probe station to test each one one by one, and by the third day, his eyes were almost blind.

At 11 p.m. that night, Guo Tao sat in the testing room, staring at the fluctuating noise waveform on the screen without saying a word.

Cheng Siyuan came over and handed him a can of energy drink: "How's it going on your end?"

Guo Tao remained silent.

Cheng Siyuan glanced at the screen: "Is this noise due to excessive power ripple?"

Guo Tao was taken aback, then picked up the oscilloscope and tested the power supply.

Sure enough, the ripple was 50 millivolts.

"grass!"

He couldn't help but curse.

There was no other way, so the next day they started redesigning the power filter circuit, moving the decoupling capacitor from on-chip to off-chip, and using the most basic method, soldering a tantalum capacitor next to each chip.
