To go or not to go, this made the Russians very conflicted.

If they don't go, they may not be able to obtain this technology in the first place, and there is even a possibility that they will have to pay a price to obtain this technology later. No matter how much the old Russians say they despise and don't care about the practicality and advancement of the technology that the southern comrades have chosen to actively disclose on a large scale, they actually understand it in their hearts.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that, except for the comrades in the South, all the countries in the Economic Aid Association are “sons”. There are quite a few rebellious sons among them. They may not teach their fathers once they have learned something. In other words, they will hide themselves quietly without paying a price.

After all, since the "benevolent father" era, there have been countries that have rebelled against this system, and this is a country that, apart from the comrades in the South, is also considered to be a capable fighter.

Having said that, if it is not a good thing, the comrades in the South will not make it public in such a high-profile manner. They cannot afford to lose face.

This fact was verified as early as when they made public the full set of related technologies of DJS-59. The full set of technologies of DJS-59 may have been outdated for the southern comrades themselves, but for the countries of the Economic Assistance Council, it is still an advanced technology worth learning.

If we go, it means that we have acquiesced that the other party has not responded to the multiple technical intentions we have proposed, but has simply used another technology to deal with our behavior.

For a moment, the Russians were in a dilemma.

Finally, I decided to go! It's not bad to learn something.

Gao Zhendong, who had just returned from the 270 fire, received a letter from Hong Kong Island and some samples.

There is no doubt that the letter was written by Lou Shouxing. The first paragraph expresses his strong joy about becoming an uncle and an uncle to two children at once. Besides being happy, he also specifically advises not to shave the children's heads during the first month of the year.

In addition, he also mentioned in the letter that he had recently fallen in love with a "lady" from a wealthy family and was pursuing her. Overall, the situation was good and they were both in love.

Seeing this, Gao Zhendong couldn't help but burst out laughing. This time he finally didn't have to endure the nagging from his family. It was probably because he saw that his family was nagging him less and less, so he felt a sense of crisis. This is what is called being mean.

After that, the latest situation of Zhenxing Group is introduced. Zhenxing is no longer just a company called Zhenxing Electric, but a group consisting of a series of companies including Zhenxing Electric, Zhenxing Electric Technology, and Hezhenxing Investment.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhenxing Electric is the core of Zhenxing Group. In fact, only very few people know that the core of Zhenxing Group is Zhenxing Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. All the core businesses of Zhenxing Group and their technologies all come from the technology authorization of Zhenxing Electronics Technology Co., Ltd.

It can be said that once Zhenxing Electric Technology terminates the authorization, Zhenxing Electric will collapse, or it can only survive and look for a new direction.

A considerable portion of Zhenxing Electric's profits were also transferred to Zhenxing Electric Technology in the form of licensing fees, etc., which Zhenxing Electric Technology used to develop new products, research new technologies, etc.

As for what Zhenxing Electronics Technology Group is researching, most people have no idea.

A batch of chips customized by Factory 1274 for Zhenxing Electric have been taped out. Unlike other chips, this batch of chips uses the so-called "cow dung" packaging, a very common packaging form in cheap integrated circuits.

Cow dung is encapsulated in common electronic products, and there are two most common products - electronic watches and game consoles. The chip has been directly soldered to the circuit board. On a circuit board, there is a black round lump of epoxy resin in the middle, and the chip is under the resin. It looks like a lump of cow dung on the circuit board, hence the name.

Lou Shouxing has used these chips, combined with TN-LCD liquid crystal displays, to make a batch of handheld game console samples, which are currently being tested. This time, he does not plan to launch them immediately, but instead plans to put them on display at this year's Bailing Electronics Show.

He selected two samples from this batch, and after strict testing, sent them here for his sister and brother-in-law to try.

Gao Zhendong took out a familiar handheld game console and looked at it over and over again for a long time. This thing is not bad, at least it can help Xiao'e pass the time.

Putting the handheld game console aside, he didn't rush to try it out. The main reason was that he had played these two games enough in his previous life and he really didn't have much interest in them.

He took out another package that Lou Shouxing had sent and carefully took out a piece from the middle.

This is a small piece of glass that is less than 2 cm long and less than 1 cm wide. It is not particularly thin, probably less than 2 mm thick. It looks opaque and has a special gray color overall.

After scanning the instruction manual, Gao Zhendong turned on a DC power supply on his desk and adjusted the voltage to the appropriate value.

Pick up the two probes, wrap a current-limiting resistor around the positive probe head, and then use the other leg of the resistor and the negative probe to carefully poke the row of contacts protruding from the base of the glass.

Connect the negative pole to the common cathode, and poke it one by one with the positive resistor pins.

On the glass, segments of numbers light up one by one, or rather, it doesn't light up, it doesn't emit light, but it shows color segment by segment. Although the glass is gray, the black segments are still very clear against the gray background.

After trying them one by one and finding no problems, Gao Zhendong excitedly collected the package of glass pieces and went straight to the electronics laboratory of the third factory along with other things.

Gao Zhendong rushed into the electronics laboratory and called Fang Yinghong. "Sister Fang, do you remember the batch of chips I asked the integrated circuit workshop to get last time?"

"I remember, it was that batch of cow dung chips. We have already finished testing them. By the way, the matching casing has also been sent over by the Beijing Watch Factory. Mr. Gao, could that thing be a watch?"

Before seeing the casing sent by the Beijing Watch Factory, Fang Yinghong didn't know the function of this batch of cow dung chips. However, when she saw the matching casing, she realized that this thing looked like it was most likely a watch.

A watch-style casing, a miniature 32.768kHz crystal oscillator, and a chip that was discovered to have a timer function during testing. When all these things were put together, she wouldn't believe it wasn't a watch.

But she didn't know what the watch was using, but it couldn't be pointers. After thinking about it, she thought that only LED would work, but she didn't find such a small LED, and the power consumption of LED was also unaffordable for most people. One battery was not expensive, but more batteries would be expensive.

In fact, she hadn't figured out what kind of battery this thing used. The main reason was that the dry battery was a bit too big and it was obviously not suitable to wear it on the hand.

"Sister Fang, please find two people to solder this and that cow dung chip together. They need to have good skills. Solder ten sets!" Fang Yinghong saw Gao Zhendong take out a bag of glass pieces, and she realized that this thing might be the display of the watch.

In later electronic watches, the display screen and the main chip are often connected by a multi-channel conductive rubber. However, Gao Zhendong did not have the leisure to do that at the time, so he asked his co-workers to directly use thin enameled wire for soldering.

Compared with ordinary circuit boards, this is a delicate job, but it does not pose a problem for Fang Yinghong. There is no shortage of such skilled craftsmen in the electronic laboratory of the Third Factory.

The welding was a little slow at first, but once he got familiar with it, the skills of a senior technician began to show and the speed gradually increased.

Not long after, a set of beautifully welded electronic watch samples appeared in Gao Zhendong's hands.

Gao Zhendong adjusted the DC power supply in the laboratory and placed the positive and negative poles into the battery clips. Fang Yinghong then saw a string of numbers appear on the glass.

00:00
There was no light coming out of the glass, but under the lights in the lab and natural light, it looked very clear.

In fact, there are two more 0s, which are the seconds. However, when no keys are pressed, the electronic watch only displays hours and minutes. This is to save display digits and reduce costs.

Fang Yinghong turned to look at the ammeter next to the DC power supply. She wanted to see the power consumption.

0.00mA
She could hardly believe her eyes. She knew it was definitely not zero, but the current was so small that there was no ripple on the milliammeter, which was still beyond her expectation.

As for the display components, the one she knew so far that consumed the least power was the LED digital tube. However, if so many digits were lit up at the same time, it would consume several milliamps or even double-digit milliamps of current.

And this 0.00mA completely subverted her imagination.

Gao Zhendong also turned his head to take a look at the ammeter, and frowned in dissatisfaction: "This thing doesn't work. It can't measure anything. Forget it."

Chief Engineer Gao, is it possible that it's not that the milliammeter is not good, but that the power consumption of the watch you made is really ridiculously low? Fang Yinghong complained in her heart.

Seeing that the basic test was successful and the ammeter was not working well, Gao Zhendong simply skipped the power consumption test.

He pulled out a piece of paper and a package of what looked like silver buttons.

He picked up a silver button and snapped it into the battery clip on the back of the circuit board.

This is a button-type nickel-cadmium battery that he asked Zhenxing Electric to make. Forget about nickel-metal hydride, they are still being worked on here, and cadmium-nickel can be used here.

Fang Yinghong saw that the number on the display screen had reached 00:05 due to Gao Zhendong's efforts, but it returned to 00:00 again.

"Sister Fang, here is the instruction manual. Watch over here. After each piece is welded, assemble the shell and battery together. Adjust the timer according to the instruction manual and let it run for a few days. The items and contents that need to be tested within these few days are in the instruction manual. Organize the staff to test it. Test for three days. I want the results after three days."

Seeing that there were basically no problems, Gao Zhendong's laziness came back and he became a hands-off boss.

Fang Yinghong was very happy. It was another new product. Although it didn't seem as advanced and high-end as the ones Chief Engineer Gao had made before, as an ordinary citizen, Fang Yinghong knew that this thing was the most down-to-earth and relevant to everyone.
