The advantages of transistors include, to a lesser extent, low cost, low power consumption, small size, no need for preheating, and they can work as soon as they are turned on, etc.

Generally speaking, the lifespan has been increased by 100 to 1000 times. It can almost be said to be a permanent device. More importantly, the reliability has been increased by 100 times... After all, the electronic tube is made of vacuum glass tube. It will cause vibrations and bumps on the battlefield.

It can be easily damaged and the entire system will be paralyzed.

Transistors do not have these problems. They are solid and have strong resistance to impact, high pressure, and high temperature.

On the other hand, it is not difficult to use transistors at all... At this time, transistors have not yet developed to the stage of integrated circuits and large-scale integrated circuits. All that has to be done is to replace the electron tubes in the computer with each transistor, and even

There is no need to change the circuit (program), and the reliability and lifespan will be improved hundreds of times immediately.

However, Wang Xuexin did not first use transistors to modify computers, nor did he use them to modify air defense systems or artillery detection radars.

This is not to say that these things are not important, but the transistor has just been developed at this time and the output is too small. The output at this time is not enough for a gun detection radar, let alone something like an air defense system.

Wang Xuexin decided to first use transistors to upgrade radio stations used by the army.

The reason why they are used in radio stations is because radio stations use few vacuum tubes. Shortwave low-power radio stations generally only need a dozen, and high-power ones only need dozens.

This quantity can be fully supported by current transistor output.

Secondly, the radio is very important to the troops. Whether there is a way to communicate with superiors during a war and whether there is a way for the troops to coordinate depends on the radio.

In the past, the Eighth Route Army always fought independently. One of the important reasons was that the radio stations had many faults and were not durable.

This is no joke on the battlefield. Many casualties in the army are due to poor communication, but now we are used to it, so we don't feel the pain.

So Wang Xuexin didn't think much, and immediately distributed the produced transistors to various units and asked them to replace the tubes.

Chen Songyong has no objection to Wang Xuexin's decision. He analyzed it this way: "If we upgrade the air defense system, it is likely that we can only upgrade one, but these same transistors can upgrade all the radio stations in the entire army. How do you choose?"

Many people originally thought of upgrading gun detection radars and air defense systems first. They believed that these were more needed on the battlefield, but they fell silent when they heard this.

Indeed, after all, there is only one artillery detection radar or air defense system, and its role on the battlefield is very limited. It cannot even function until wartime.

Radio stations are different. Each of the more than 100 regiments of the Eighth Route Army has a radio station, as well as brigades and divisions. Plus those used on tanks, helicopters, and fighter jets, there are probably thousands of them!

If all the tubes in these thousands of radio stations were replaced by transistors, the effect would be immediate, and the command, communication and coordination between the various units would immediately be several times stronger.

Chen Songyong was worried about the other side. He turned to Wang Xuexin and asked: "But leader, if the transistor is used to upgrade the radio station, it means that many people know about it, and it will be difficult to keep it secret!"

Wang Xuexin understood what Chen Songyong meant.

There is a saying that "a secret is not a secret if a third person knows it." But now Wang Xuexin has popularized transistors in military radio stations. At least thousands of people will know about it, and the scope is very wide.

To the extent that the Japanese and stubborn soldiers have installed spies and spies in the Eighth Route Army, they are afraid that they will soon know about transistors.

But Wang Xuexin was not worried at all.

"You know it if you know it!" Wang Xuexin said: "Even if they know it, they can't imitate it. They don't even know what else it can be used for!"

Transistors are not just imitations. For example, if a transistor is placed in front of the devils, they may know that it is made of silicon, but that's all.

Can the Japanese still tell that this thing is high-purity monocrystalline silicon?

Also know that this high-purity single crystal silicon is directionally doped with phosphorus and boron?

Also, do you know how to add these impurities into it?

How can you imitate something if you don’t know anything!

Even if they make something that looks exactly the same and even has the same wiring, it just won't work!

In fact, let alone the Japanese, even if they put this thing in front of Yingjiang and Ribului, they would not be able to imitate it.

They might know better than the Japanese that this is monocrystalline silicon, but that's where it ends.

Therefore, when technology develops into the semiconductor field, it is very difficult to reverse engineer and imitate it. There are many things in it that are invisible to the naked eye and cannot be decomposed and analyzed.

Then Wang Xuexin went to find Su Liguo again.

Su Liguo is busy expanding transistor production... The army's demand for transistors is too great. After the radio station is upgraded, the artillery detection radar and air defense system will be upgraded immediately. The radar will also need to be updated. In addition, the research and development of transistor computers will also need to be put aside.

It’s on the schedule, so production must be expanded.

When Wang Xuexin found Su Liguo, he raised his thumb and said happily: "Captain, we are here now! Others are still using electronic tubes, even Sun Bu Luo and Ying Jiang, they still regard them as treasures.

Our technology blockade allows us to sell it at a high price! Now, we have integrated the transistor, which is many times more advanced than them!"

Su Liguo's face was filled with pride, and his cheeks turned red with excitement, just like a child who was praised by the teacher.

Wang Xuexin understood why Su Liguo behaved like this.

As the saying goes, "laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door."

If the transistor was placed in front of Li Yunlong, he would definitely scream: "Will this thing blow up Japanese soldiers like a grenade, or can it make wine? What's so weird about it!"

Su Liguo is an expert. He knows what electron tubes and transistors are, and he also knows the benefits that transistors can bring and their broad prospects. It is common sense that this will succeed.

Wang Xuexin handed Su Liguo a cigarette and said, "Mr. Su, do you know which direction this transistor should develop in the future?"

"Development?" Su Liguo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

He hasn't thought about this problem yet, he only knows now to produce more, the more the better.

But after thinking about it, Su Liguo felt that Wang Xuexin was right.

If you don't think ahead, you may be caught up by others.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Liguo said: "What the leader means is that we want to miniaturize the transistors?"

Wang Xuexin nodded.

Miniaturization is very important, it determines whether the transistor computer can be inserted into a missile and turned into a real missile!
