280: Li Zhaolong leads the technical reform of lithography machines

Hong Tongtong handed the phone to Liu Xiaolin: "My Mom wants to talk to you."

Liu Xiaolin took the phone: "Hello Auntie, hello Uncle, I am Xiaolin."

"Hello Xiaolin, I'll leave Tongtong in your care," Tong Mingzhu said kindly.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Tongtong," Liu Xiaolin immediately declared his resolve. "Also, if Uncle and Auntie have time, come over and visit. I'll take you sightseeing around the ancient gardens in Kunhe City."

"Okay, okay," Tong Mingzhu readily agreed. "In half a month, Tongtong's Dad and I might really go to Kunhe City."

"Really? Welcome, welcome. Are you specifically coming to see Tongtong?" Liu Xiaolin guessed.

"No, no, we are very relieved with you taking care of Tongtong, so we definitely won't make a special trip just to see her," Tong Mingzhu lowered her voice as she said these words. "But just tell Tongtong that we are making a special trip to see her."

"Okay, no problem," Liu Xiaolin chuckled.

"Let me tell you the truth, our Deli Air Conditioning has started developing smart air conditioners, so we might need Chips. That's why in half a month, when we free up time, we will immediately come to find you," Tong Mingzhu's voice was still low.

"Okay, okay, no problem. I'll go with Tongtong to pick you up then," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"Alright, now that Tongtong is with you, I'm relieved. I'm hanging up. You two should rest early," Tong Mingzhu finished speaking and hung up the phone.

"Do you still want to say a few words to Tongtong..." Liu Xiaolin said half of the sentence when he heard a busy signal from the phone.

He glanced helplessly at Tongtong and handed her the phone: "Auntie said she might come to see you in half a month."

He concealed the fact that they were coming to see the Chips needed for smart air conditioners; there was no need to make Tongtong unhappy.

"Okay, it seems my Dad and Mom still care about me very much. It seems coming out was the right decision. Hehe." Hong Tongtong was delighted upon hearing this news: "Then I'm going back to my dorm. You should wash up and rest early. I've been driving for half a day, and I'm tired too."

"Okay, let's both rest early. Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to the cafeteria for breakfast. You can eat whatever you want, like steamed buns, wontons, and tofu pudding," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"Okay, goodnight," Hong Tongtong left happily.

After Liu Xiaolin finished washing up, he called Li Zhaolong: "Professor Li, are you back?"

"Oh, I came back a long time ago. Is something wrong?" Li Zhaolong said.

"I'll come over to see you and check out the issue with the process flow change you just mentioned," Liu Xiaolin said.

If we really update the process flow, we can improve production efficiency. This would be a great thing.

"Okay, then come over. I've pretty much figured it out," Li Zhaolong said and hung up the phone.

Liu Xiaolin turned right out the door, walked past three doors, and arrived at Li Zhaolong's dorm. He knocked on the door and walked in.

"General Manager Liu, you're here," Li Zhaolong looked up, saw the wet-haired Liu Xiaolin, and greeted him.

"Yes, I want to see the plan for modifying the process flow that you mentioned," Liu Xiaolin said impatiently.

"Tomorrow, the second lithography machine will be assembled in the workshop. Today, while I was watching the Chip production in the workshop, I suddenly had an idea, so I quickly wrote it down. I just went back and watched the video playback of the daytime Chip production and I think it's possible," Li Zhaolong said enthusiastically.

"Then tell me about this idea," Liu Xiaolin was also very interested.

"It's like this, our lithography machine operates on an assembly line. The first few stages are very smooth, so the time required is not too long. However, the last stage takes a bit longer, and only one product can appear on the workbench at a time. My idea is to add two to three workbenches before the lithography machine, which can process the light source for three to four Chips simultaneously, effectively doubling the production efficiency," Li Zhaolong said excitedly.

"Adding workbenches before the lithography machine? Is that possible?" Liu Xiaolin asked, frowning.

"I think it's possible, as long as we adjust the assembly line process, we can do it," Li Zhaolong was very excited.

"Then will the installation of the second lithography machine have to be postponed tomorrow?" Liu Xiaolin asked.

"No need to postpone. I plan to make improvements while installing it, which can speed up the pace of technological reform," Li Zhaolong said. "Chip production cannot stop. Longyu Company is urgently pressing for delivery. Therefore, carrying out technological reform while installing a new lithography machine is the best plan."

"Alright, I don't have anything planned tomorrow, so I'll follow you in the workshop to track your technological reform," Liu Xiaolin said. "Also, are the training arrangements for the technical workers at Langfang Fine Carving ready for tomorrow? How many R&D personnel are we sending over? If too many people go, will it affect the lithography machine production here?"

Liu Xiaolin asked several questions in one breath, and Li Zhaolong didn't know what to say, so he could only answer them one by one slowly.

"The R&D personnel sent to Langfang Fine Carving to train technical workers have been arranged. A total of eighty R&D personnel will be sent out, setting up specialized training classes for the four stages of the lithography machine assembly line. There will be twenty training classes for each stage, totaling eighty training classes, with each R&D personnel teaching one class."

"Okay, okay, this training class lineup is quite large," Liu Xiaolin was very satisfied. "Sending out eighty training teachers at once, will our own personnel be insufficient? Should we recruit another batch of R&D personnel?"

"No need. Our R&D personnel are now very familiar with the lithography machine production process. One person can do the work of two, so there's no need to worry about insufficient staff," Li Zhaolong said with a smile.

"Is that so? Then give them another raise," Liu Xiaolin said. "One person can do the work of two, it wouldn't be right not to give them a raise."

"Okay, since the Boss has spoken, let's raise their salaries so everyone works willingly. Haha," Li Zhaolong was very happy. The salaries of Jiantuan Electronics' R&D personnel were already the highest in the industry, and with another raise, it would be several times that of R&D personnel in the same industry.

"The more you do, the more you earn. That's only natural," Liu Xiaolin didn't care about the labor costs. As long as the lithography machine technological reform was successful, one lithography machine would have the production efficiency of two original lithography machines, saving more than just a little bit.

The more Liu Xiaolin thought about it, the happier he became, excited that he could find so many talented people. No wonder he learned in economics during college that knowledge is the primary productive force; it was indeed true.
