Chapter 1323 Chinese Lithography Machine
"Do they have this ability? Even if they do, dear, you also said that it is very difficult in terms of investment and difficulty. Based on my understanding of the Chinese, they are very smart." Pamela Mountbatten said with a smile on her face The look of confusion and the cleverness in the words of the female president were naturally obtained from those big compradors.
"This has something to do with the international situation. You don't quite understand." Alan Wilson faced his wife with a mysterious smile and said, "They also want to break through the blockade, right? The boss of the Soviet bloc is the Soviet Union. No country listens to them, even North Korea and North Vietnam is just taking advantage of both sides."
According to time, this time should be when Albania comes to ask for support, but this world is different.
Historically, Albania had a bad relationship with Tito's Yugoslavia. It was to use the Soviet Union to balance Yugoslavia's threat to Albania. This thing you do in the first year of junior high school and I do in the fifteenth year. If Yugoslavia dares to be dissatisfied with the Soviet Union, Albania can also find its big brother to balance Yugoslavia around it.
But as for Albania, its national strength is too low, and its entire territory is surrounded by Yugoslavia. Compared with Albania, the Soviet Union obviously values Yugoslavia more. Yugoslavia later also tried to improve relations with the Soviet Union. Albania felt isolated again and found a certain big country.
But now, Yugoslavia has gained a foothold overseas through Grace's group, which has led to the constant threat of imperialist puppets wanting to come back to counterattack. Tito talked to Moscow about this, and only asked to maintain his independence within the Warsaw Pact. gender, but will obey the arrangements of the entire Warsaw Pact, similar to France's role in NATO, and has not become the sponsor of the Non-Aligned Movement.
The situation in Southeast Europe is one after another. From the beginning, Albania did not use the Soviet Union to balance the environment of Yugoslavia. This led to a certain big country and the Soviet Union quarreling for a long time. No brotherly country came out to say a fair word, even those who had previously supported After the Indonesian Communist Party also killed the Indonesian military, as it absorbed more members, it dispersed the original pro-China voices.
This is also normal. No matter how much you can benefit a big country, can you do it more favorably than Brezhnev?
Nyerere actually appeared to be a member of the Labor Party, but in fact he was similar to Nehru in that he was more inclined to the Soviet bloc. For a big country that is now determined to break the isolation environment, it is a timely help. Don't think that a railway will be a loss. The African strategy cannot be measured by how much money a railway costs.
"This railway is also good for Rhodesia. We can make money without us paying a single pound. Isn't that a good thing? Walking on two legs is better than one." Alan Wilson burped, and the toothpick at the corner of his mouth followed. His lips twitched, obviously he was very proud of this, "Zanzibar is still in the hands of us and the Egyptian navy. Even if it becomes independent, Nyerere should not be disrespectful to the British Empire."
"Sounds good!" Pamela Mountbatten listened to her husband shouting, and finally nodded. "If there is a railway to transport the Rhodesian copper mines, our income will increase. The key is this railway It doesn’t cost the UK money.”
"That's it." Alan Wilson said with a tactical step back, "I picked out all the gifts Nyerere brought to see how good I am to the colony that is about to become independent."
In fact, they are just some coffee seeds. Coffee is native to Ethiopia. It should not exist in a certain big country at this time.
If he hadn't been afraid of stealing the show from Pakistan, he would have just given the mango. Mangoes originate from South India and have long been a luxury item for a large country. They are brought by Pakistanis when they visit that country.
A major country gave mangoes sent by Pakistan to frontline workers, causing a huge sensation. The Imperial Knitting Factory received a mango, held a grand welcome ceremony, and then sealed the mango with wax to preserve it so that it could be passed on to future generations. Mangoes are offered on the altar in the hall. But within a few days, the mangoes sealed with wax began to rot.
The factory later removes the wax, peels the skin, and boils the mango pulp in a large pot of water. Then a ceremony was held,
Each worker took a sip of water boiled from the sacred mango.
Pakistan also brought a hundred mango saplings to a certain big country, and from then on mangoes began to appear in a certain big country.
So Pamela Mountbatten had a skeptical look on her face when she exchanged coffee seeds for railways. What do you think? Alan Wilson was firmly opposed to it. The essence of trade is nothing more than the exchange of what you have and what I don’t have. Currency is just this kind of exchange that allows others to Convenient carrier, if the cart is put before the horse, there will be the embarrassment of financial nuclear weapons being regarded as farts.
Before the war started, the dollar-ruble exchange rate was 80, and after the use of financial nuclear weapons, the exchange rate was 130, and after 80 days, the exchange rate was 65. It would be ridiculous if the war lasted for a year and became the one-to-thirty rate before Crimea. In dollar terms, Russia will be on par with Germany, the locomotive of the European Union, in terms of economic aggregate within a year, leaving Britain and France behind.
If Russia wants to concentrate on causing trouble, it will be much more difficult to deal with than a certain big country during the Vietnam War. Russia can really achieve internal circulation.
Once financial nuclear weapons were used, they had no effect. Even the Republican Party began to question the effectiveness of sanctions. Sometimes, with the vast land and abundant resources, one can really do whatever he wants.
The respected Foreign Secretary Patrick Gordon Walker has already left for Paris. He is not like the Secretary-General of the Cabinet. Now all his interactions with people in France are in London. It is not like the Foreign Secretary took the initiative to go to Paris. It is simply Undermining the authority of the British Empire.
At the same time as the Foreign Secretary's visit, Governor Nyerere, who was visiting China and India, arrived in London, the last stop of his visit, to discuss the specific agenda for independence with the British government. This time, Nyerere visited several important countries as governor-general. One big country was definitely not the only one, and his purpose was naturally to do things on the railway.
It even includes India, a big and famous country. Of course, India is currently making concerted efforts across the country to fight drought and plague, and may not be able to help Nyerere.
Alan Wilson showed great courtesy when welcoming Nyerere, "Governor Nyerere, I wonder what the harvest is like this time?"
"It's so surprising, Secretary-General." Nyerere responded positively and said in a low voice, "I have brought it here, and they are still surprised. Didn't they expect that we still have such a need?"
"Very good!" Alan Wilson was very satisfied after hearing this. Socialist countries did not pay attention to patents. While he wanted Nyerere to develop China-Africa relations, he also hoped that Nyerere could help Britain.
This time Nyerere brought back a lithography machine from a certain big country. In this era, lithography machines were not high-tech.
Scientists at semiconductor companies are basically half-craftsmen. They have to draw and design whatever tools and tooling they need, and then ask the master to make one for themselves. At that time, the main companies of lithography machines were Intel, Kawasaki, Platinum Elastomers, etc. Ermer, Casper, and Fairchild are all companies where researchers make their own equipment. Intel is even more stretched. I bought the camera lens directly and disassembled it, and the lens is from Nikon.
Elle Wilson remembers that a certain big country has produced photolithography machines this year. Factory 109 and Modu Optical Instrument Factory cooperated and successfully developed the first 65-type contact lithography machine in domestic history. After the successful development, it was put into mass production by Modu Radio Special Equipment Factory.
Contact lithography machines are the earliest generation of lithography machines. Since then, with the in-depth development of technology, they have experienced proximity lithography, step-and-repeat equal-magnification projection lithography, step-down projection lithography, and step scanning. projection lithography machine.
The UK is also developing its efforts in semiconductors. After all, there are only a few industries that can afford high wages. The UK cannot rely on finance to make a living. What will it do if it encounters an opponent that does not support this? What should the financially stronger United States do if it wants to cut leeks? Therefore, it is better to keep some industries in the local area.
However, compared with the United States and Japan, the United Kingdom did not have an advantage. Alan Wilson had to find another way and focus on the hostile camp. He believed that the Soviet Union would not be bad if it developed semiconductors. However, the Soviet Union's way of dealing with the world war led the Soviet Union to put all its efforts On electron tubes, the development of transistors was squeezed.
Furthermore, if Britain took the initiative to seek help from the Soviet Union, would it be a waste of money? The Soviet Union had previously found out about the United States and asked itself, and directly revealed the U.S. nuclear leak in Spain.
Although it was corrected under a certain supreme authority, it was not a nuclear leak, but an almost nuclear explosion in Spain. The cause of the nuclear leak was just a minor sequelae of the hydrogen bomb not exploding. The Spaniards should be grateful.
The Soviet Union could betray the loss of the hydrogen bomb to the United States, but couldn't it betray the United Kingdom? This is something that must be guarded against, so for these two reasons, to prevent betrayal and that a certain big country has not taken the wrong path, Alan Wilson decided to think of a way to deal with a certain big country that also has no concept of intellectual property rights.
When Nyerere met Prime Minister Harold Wilson, Alan Wilson asked Radwich to come over and send five lithography machines to Turing to take them apart to see if there was anything unique about them. Maybe the different ways in which China and the UK solve problems can inspire the British Semiconductor Association.
If there are some components in a whole photolithography machine that are shortcomings of the UK, then there is nothing to say. If you place an order directly, I believe that a big country also needs foreign exchange reserves.
Radwich immediately summoned people to transport five lithography machines to Turing. If nothing else happened, these lithography machines would be torn into pieces to see if another big country had something unique in this field.
Although there is little hope of becoming the world's top product, Britain is still a small player in front of the United States and Japan, and the two backward elements cannot be mentioned one by one.
"Okay, let's conduct a comparative test immediately." When Turing saw Radwich coming to the door, he understood the cause and effect and ordered directly. He first compared similar products in the UK.
