Chapter 167 Program-controlled Communication System
The first phase of the Zhennan Islands project plans to build an oil and gas extraction plant, a small refinery, a natural gas power plant, a dock, an airport, a small steel rolling mill, a machine repair shop, and an electronics factory.
Of course, it is impossible to build so many things at once. The first things to be built were a dock, an airport, and an oil exploration team.
The electronics factory cannot be placed in the first batch. After all, there is no foundation and there is no need to build it.
The joint factory's selection of personnel is in progress. The reason why they started to select them at this time is also to provide more support. Of course, the corresponding site selection and planning also require their past people.
In the past two days, the staff in the laboratory began to become nervous, fearing that someone from the factory would "invite" them to come over for a talk.
Of course, the reason why I am so scared is that in the past two days, people have been "asked to leave" every day, and they are gone forever.
As long as the person is selected, you can put down the work at hand, go home, and discuss your choice with your family.
This is a big deal, and we can't do it without discussing it with our family.
The further time goes by, the fewer people there are in the laboratory.
Zhao Ye finally has a quota to choose from.
On this day, Zhao Ye invited over Professor Ci, Professor Zhang, Professor Xie and several other teachers whom Shuimu knew.
There is only one purpose, to choose someone!
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. For Zhao Ye, the No. 8 laboratory, the best tool is talent. Without a team with combat effectiveness, nothing can be done well.
Several professors all teach in universities. Regardless of the students he has taught in the past, colleagues he has worked with, or even those he has heard of or met, as long as they are talented in this field, Zhao Ye does not dislike them.
It took several people a whole day to pull out a list of one hundred or ten people. Of course, Laboratory No. 8 does not need so many people, but not all of them are willing to come! Even some are willing.
Come, your original employer may not be willing to let you go.
So in almost every group, Zhao Ye asked everyone to come up with three or four backup candidates. This was just to prevent the situation where the other party couldn't come.
As telegrams were sent out, Zhao Ye and his team in the capital also began various preparations. Zhao Ye also began to explain to everyone what exactly he wanted to do.
Generally speaking, the essence of making a phone call is to interconnect the two devices you want to talk to and establish a signal transmission channel. At present, most telephones in our country are still at the level of manual wiring. There are also a few cities that use rotary dial phones.
Machine. This is also the most mainstream method in the world today.
Rotary telephones have been used for more than 50 years, and their switches are a kind of mechanical and electronic switches. Although they are also automatic, they have many shortcomings such as complex operation, low number of telephones, and high maintenance costs.
The program-controlled telephone was also invented this year, but after Bald Eagle invented the laboratory version, they did not continue to study it. It was not until five years later that the first real program-controlled switch was put into commercial operation in France.
Zhao Ye drew a system architecture diagram on the blackboard. In this design, the design of the data switching network is the core of the entire system. This network consists of a line network connecting each telephone, a group user processor, a regional network switch, and a central network
Switch, composed of remote ultimate network processor.
In the entire system, the group user processor and the central network switch are the core parts. The group user processor is directly related to how many telephones a device can connect and process at the same time. If the number is small, there will be no application value. If the number is large, there will be no application value.
, their processing chips need to be powerful enough.
The other is the central network switch, which is the core equipment of a region. It is responsible for the interaction of each group of user processors, and is also responsible for the control of the entire communication network.
Zhao Ye broke this logical principle into pieces and explained it to everyone in the audience. Professor Ci and Professor Xie felt as if their scalps were numb when they listened to Zhao Ye's narration.
To be honest, they are only engaged in computer design. Now the overall planning and construction of this communication system feels much more complicated than simply designing a chip or a computer.
Of course, Zhao Ye did not intend to let these few people be responsible for the design of this system. The purpose of telling them this today is to give them a general understanding of the entire system. In the following branch tasks, they will be responsible for the design-specific tasks.
The work of computers and corresponding functional chips.
Therefore, in order to better understand their design intentions in the future, Zhao Ye felt that it would be better to explain the overall framework clearly to everyone.
Even the preliminary project requirements analysis.
"Yezi, if we are doing this now, are we taking too big a step? How many phones do we have in the whole country? Is it necessary to do this now?" After listening to today's "lecture", Professor Ci saw Zhao
Ye was a bit "detached" from the design and manufacturing of chips and switched to building this program-controlled switch. He felt a little bit disappointed in his heart.
"Teacher, what are we designing and producing chips for? Shouldn't we apply them to actual products? We can't endlessly improve the integration of chips and create better-performing chips, just use them
How many computers should we produce?" Zhao Ye explained to his teacher. What he said was quite reasonable. The large-scale application of chips is not just for inventing and improving computers. It is just a small part of it.
direction.
The biggest direction of the chip is to integrate with various automation equipment to produce various magical abilities and effects.
Program-controlled switches are the most inaccessible type in people's lives. It's just that we can't see this thing. What appears in front of us may be a telephone line and a telephone. The capabilities and technology behind it
, most people can’t see it and don’t care.
But these things that you can't see or care about are the cornerstones of a country and a society's progress.
"Okay, but Zhao Ye, don't ignore our chip development. The year before last, you said you would study three-micron technology, but we haven't been able to come up with this technology yet. If we don't make progress, we will fall behind.
!" Professor Ci is still worried about the big goal that Zhao Ye mentioned back then. Of course, for this goal, they have also done countless work. Professor Xie, especially, turned over and over the information that Zhao Ye left for her.
I have studied it many times, and many of its contents have been implemented by others.
However, again, as the chip reaches the later stage, the technology becomes more complex and the more disciplines are required. Now if we want to develop more advanced chip technology, just the progress of one or two disciplines can no longer support it.
Great strides have been made.
Zhao Ye needs overall improvement, improvement in all disciplines, and all categories. Only in this way can a new generation of chips be transformed from design to reality.
So how can we improve?
Demand! Only demand can stimulate the development of these disciplines, and only demand can give those factories and research institutes greater motivation. Only demand can allow leaders at all levels to raise this development to a new height.
This point is particularly important in today's economic system.
After all, future generations rely on the market, while today we rely on orders. Under the two different systems, Zhao Ye's efforts are of course also different.
The programmed electronic information exchange network is a pie that he draws for the leaders, and it is a pie that can be eaten. Only in this way will superiors pay attention to and develop this field. Only by paying attention to and developing,
Only Zhao Ye's new generation chip plan has the possibility of success.
Otherwise, who cares about him? You spend so much money and money to develop three-micron technology. In the end, the new technology you develop only improves the performance of the computer. Of course, everyone will not
I will think that this of yours is useful, urgently needed, and important.
But program-controlled switches are different. With such an expectation, it has economic and political significance, and it is likely to become an important, urgently needed, and useful task at present.
Such work, of course, requires strong support.
Zhao Ye worked hard to seize this last moment of peace. He really hoped to get this thing out within this year, otherwise if it dragged on for a long time, it would affect his overall plan.
A few days later, Zhao Ye's mood gradually improved.
The reason is very simple. People came one after another from Laboratory No. 8. After more than half a month, the 180 telegrams sent out at that time summoned more than 60 powerful people.
This is already very good. At least the skeleton of Zhao Ye's entire project can be put together.
Zhao Ye acted very quickly. A new design team was born almost every day. Zhao Ye continued to fill in people according to the design plan given to him by the system. However, as the number of people increased, Zhao Ye also
It's getting busier and busier.
But as busy as you are, you can’t just be busy.
The first task Zhao Ye needs to solve now is the photolithography machine and the etching machine. In order to better complete the design work, he must have a new computer as an auxiliary means.
If you want to have a new computer, you must have new types of chips.
Therefore, after a period of confusion, the source of all problems once again returned to chip production.
Zhao Ye sighed, Professor Ci smiled happily, and Professor Xie looked at the master and apprentice speechlessly. She now really wants to know how Professor Ci taught Zhao Ye in the past? Does she also want to be like this now, every time Professor Ci can
When he "caught" Zhao Ye in his hand, he acted more like a child than Zhao Ye.
