The joining of top talents is like injecting high-energy fuel into the struggling "Breaking Wall" alliance.
This influx of intellectual power quickly transford the research and developnt ecosystem within the alliance’s core enterprises, evolving from a previously relatively closed and follow-the-leader technology atmosphere into a "fertile soil for technology" full of international vision and cutting-edge innovative vitality.
Huang Jiacai spent a huge sum of money to establish the Breaking Wall Laboratory, gathering nurous top talents, and dispatched them to alliance enterprises for on-site R&D.
President Wang of Jieteng Technology, the veteran entrepreneur who once wavered and was "reprimanded" by Huang Jiacai, having gone through intense internal struggles, was now standing in his sowhat outdated R&D workshop that slled of engine oil and tal shards, looking at the refreshed scene before him, his eyes slightly moist. This place was no longer just a place for seasoned craftsn to knock and file based on experience, but rather a modernized laboratory that fused traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge theory.
His "Jieteng Technology" welcod a group of talents he had only admired from afar in top industry journals and international exhibitions.
Leading them was an optical expert of Russian descent nad Andrei Vasilyev, a tall, taciturn man, whose blue eyes were as sharp as a hawk’s when inspecting optical components.
He had served as a senior engineer at Germany’s Zeiss for over fifteen years, participating in the design of multiple milestone optical systems, yet his almost obsessive pursuit of perfection in technical details created irreconcilable conflicts with managent, who prioritized cost and market pace.
In the end, Huang Jiacai flew to Germany personally, visited him three tis, and moved him with sincerity and substantial offers. Vasilyev decisively refused to stay at Zeiss and declined a substantial retirent package, bringing his accumulated lifeti experience and technical notes, and moved with his family to China.
Along with him ca several Chinese engineers poached from the Arican Applied Materials Company and Japan’s Nikon. They not only brought international top-tier processing concepts, tolerance control standards, and materials science knowledge but also a profound understanding of the global precision instrunt developnt trends.
The arrival of these top talents did not co with flashy PPT presentations or hollow slogans. They donned the sa work uniforms as the old craftsn and went straight into the workshops and laboratories. Language barriers? They relied on gestures, diagrams, and translation software. Vasilyev used his heavily accented, grammatically often incorrect, stiff Chinese, along with skilled hand gestures, working with the experienced craftsn in the factory who were adept in skills but slightly lacking in theoretical systems. They began a nearly ticulous process of "picking flaws" and restructuring on the blueprint and samples of the "core optical component of the protein interaction detection module" that President Wang and his team had previously been tackling.
"Wang, the tolerance here, the theoretical calculation is good, but it’s not practical." Vasilyev pointed at a critical dinsion’s fit tolerance on the blueprint, shook his head forcefully, nearly puncturing the paper with his finger, "You must consider thermal expansion and contraction of the materials, assembly stress, even micro-creep during long-term operation. With this design, if the ambient temperature fluctuates by five degrees, the optical path stability will exceed the allowable range. We need to redesign this support structure using active temperature control compensation and stress isolation design."
A young engineer returned from the Arican Applied Materials Company proposed a more innovative approach: "President Wang, why must we go head-to-head with Zeiss and Leica on hardware single-indicator standards? Those are barriers amassed over a century. We can take a different path, using computational optics to compensate for so inherent hardware deficiencies." He excitedly demonstrated his concept on a tablet, "We can integrate a custom-developed, depth learning AI algorithm-based real-ti image enhancent and aberration correction module behind this custom lens group. In hardware, we can perhaps achieve only eighty percent of their physical precision, but through this ’smart filter,’ processing and optimizing the raw image data, the final output’s image signal-to-noise ratio and effective resolution can closely, if not surpass, in certain specific observational modes, due to the algorithm’s targeted optimization, potentially outperforming!"
President Wang listened to ideas he had never heard before, watching these top talents passionately discussing with his craftsn, conducting simulation simulations on computers, having intense debates over diagrams, and then adjusting and tuning together over the workbench, the long-dormant craftsman blood and innovative passion within him boiled once again.
He no longer concerned himself with the fifty percent acquisition premium that once tempted him, which looked like a comfortable retirent package, but now saw a path full of dignity and hope despite its difficulties. He imrsed himself in the workshop personally, orchestrating all resources, ensuring any improvent proposal from these "precious treasures" could receive imdiate support and response.
In just a few weeks, the optical component project that had stalled due to bottlenecks made breakthrough progress, even President Wang found it hard to believe. The new design not only solved the long-standing issues of long-term drift and temperature sensitivity through ingenious chanical structures and active temperature control but, more importantly, introduced the innovative concept of "hardware algorithm" dual drive. This cleverly circumvented so extre physical indexes requiring a high foundational industrial level, such as ultra-precision processing and special glass slting.
