Everyone learned this song by Zhao Ye almost overnight.
Zhao Ye's name is also tied to this song. However, he firmly refuses to admit that he composed this song. Others don't know, but he knows that he "plagiarized" it. Who knows, this
Is the song currently lying on the original artist’s manuscript?
But if this is his original work, no one here will chase him to ask. As long as the song is good, people don't care who created it.
Time passed day by day, and the entire experimental factory was first built in a corner of this land. There were eight large bungalows in a row. After the house was built, Zhao Ye was the first to move here.
Forget about heating, it would be nice to have a briquette stove. He carried all his quilt rolls over, and he slept directly here from now on.
During the entire project planning, this place only serves as a temporary construction headquarters. After the entire project is completed, this place will only serve as a logistics warehouse.
Therefore, the construction was very simple. The red bricks were exposed indoors, and at most the joints between the bricks were treated. The roof was made of hollow slabs, and the roof was treated only to prevent it from leaking.
But in Zhao Ye's plan, this is the place where his dream will set sail.
In such a high-level and high-standard experimental factory, Zhao Ye is the onion. He is very self-aware about this. Therefore, those beautiful-looking experimental buildings and factories basically have nothing to do with him.
.
At least it has nothing to do with him at this stage. But with his relationship with a steel rolling mill, it is not difficult to get to so many logistics warehouses.
Therefore, the location where this house was built was very remote. After the surrounding buildings were built, the location where it was located was a blind corner at the back of the factory. It is estimated that even the workers would not choose this place to go to the hut, because it is too roundabout.
This is exactly the effect Zhao Ye is pursuing. It is best for everyone not to focus on him.
Each of the several rooms in front of me is not only filled with tools, drawings, etc., but they are also all occupied by people.
However, his room is slightly different, at least the walls are touched with cement.
In this room, there is a desk against the wall and a lamp on the desk. In the center of the room, there is a large table made of wooden boards.
Zhao Ye was sitting next to the table at the moment, gradually immersing his thinking in the space, and using the help of the system, he slowly built a model.
calculator!
From a modern perspective, this may be an electronic product that is extremely simple.
However, in the early 1970s, the price of this thing could be sold for five to six hundred US dollars each. Moreover, its invention was only a few years away from where Zhao Ye was now.
Such a simple thing can almost be regarded as the first generation of personal computers. Perhaps many people in later generations have not thought that several famous computer companies started by making calculators.
This is no exaggeration at all. A calculator has its own calculation circuit (chip), controller, storage, display, and input device (button keyboard).
You see, what's the difference between this and a computer? It's just that it's simpler and is only used for calculations.
The difficulties Zhao Ye faced were small, but also huge.
It's small because his system space can provide him with all the technical information and drawings from the previous life, and even if he wants the finished product, it's no problem.
And the big reason is that he can't be a technological wizard in this era, right? Any technological progress cannot appear out of thin air. It must be created by Zhao Ye bit by bit, step by step.
This is the hardest part.
The first thing he has to do now is to choose the difficulty level and what kind of thing he wants to make. It can be realized in a jump based on this era, but he can't be too ambitious and create something nondescript.
thing.
A small calculator is not that easy to build. But once it is built, Zhao Ye can believe that he will be able to achieve a qualitative breakthrough in many aspects.
Lay a solid foundation for his next plan.
Zhao Ye was thinking while writing and drawing on the manuscript paper in front of him. By the time the light in the room no longer allowed him to write normally, he had already written more than a dozen pages.
"Oh, I'm so poor, I have to do everything myself!" Zhao Ye scratched his hair in distress.
But this is fine, a blank piece of paper is easy to make a fuss about! If it can be done in one to two years, it can be regarded as a success. Zhao Ye consoled himself in this way.
Putting down the things in his hands, Zhao Ye decided to calm down and went to meet Sister Ding for dinner. In this era, the only place where you can meet a girl for dinner is in the cafeteria.
It's not that they don't exist in other places, but they don't exist near them.
The two of them had a "summer" dinner. It was said to be sumptuous, which meant that Zhao Ye secretly added a sausage to the bowls for the two of them. At this time, in this place, Zhao Ye really didn't dare to cook too much.
Exaggeration. The two of them ate very sweetly, at least Sister Ding thought it was very sweet.
After dinner, Ding Qiunan had to go back to work, and Zhao Ye also came to his "laboratory" again, an empty room.
Zhao Ye returned to the room, still thinking about his calculator.
This is really not because he is too ambitious and has to come up with such a thing at this time. It is because the time window left for him in this era is really limited.
We all know that the most important thing for the development and continuation of a technology is application and market. From the perspective of a latecomer, in the 1960s, our research and achievements in integrated circuits did not lag behind
world.
The most important proof is that in 1965, we already manufactured the first-generation photolithography machine and successfully produced 30MM wafers.
Isn’t it amazing? The start of our chip industry was so great! At that time, we and the United States were the only two countries in the world that had this technology.
Although our 65-type contact lithography machine at that time seems to be very crude now. But it was just like that in the United States. Everyone was crossing the river by feeling for the stones, and no one needed to laugh at anyone.
So why did it fall behind later?
The main reason is that these research and results have not been well transformed into industrial products.
Some people may also say that it was caused by the great storms of this era.
Some people think that it is caused by the economic system of this era.
Zhao Ye has been living in this era for almost two years. From his understanding, these two are not the most important reasons.
If you don’t believe it, look at our rocket technology and nuclear technology, which have all gone through this era. Why haven’t they stopped developing? Isn’t it because these things have their own market?
The strong demand for national defense has caused these industries to advance steadily.
But what about the electronics industry? It is almost blank. There may be some applications in scientific research and military, but these are not enough to support the development of an industry.
So what Zhao Ye wants to do most at this time is to transform electronic technology into industrial products as soon as possible.
The calculator was the first product he selected.
He believes that calculators, as a gadget, definitely have a market in this era. Whether it is in the lives of ordinary people or in industrial and agricultural production, it will play an immeasurable role.
Why?
Because the cultural level of people in this era is low!
Even in future generations, just like you holding a mobile phone, if you are asked to calculate a slightly more complicated number, will you open the calculator on your mobile phone?
As far as your academic qualifications are concerned, you all need to use such a small tool frequently. You can imagine how great the application prospects of this thing will be in this era when many people struggle with addition and subtraction!
Therefore, Zhao Ye judged that as long as such a small thing is taken out, no matter what storm, it will not easily destroy the fire of our electronics industry. Because everyone needs its help.
Zhao Ye's thinking returned to practical issues. He could not directly take out the chips from the 1970s. Because that technology really exceeded the current processing level. But if this was the case, wouldn't calculators be able to do it?
?
Of course not. In the current world, the prototype of integrated circuits is already there. Zhao Ye also knows clearly that there is already a research group in our country, but he has no idea of joining it at the moment. Maybe he wants to join.
Can't join.
So what does he need to do most right now?
Get a chip! It doesn’t have to be advanced or complicated, as long as it can implement four arithmetic operations.
With computing chips, we also need display chips, and even more display devices.
Zhao Ye did not plan to use light-emitting transistors to form a display screen, but thought of getting it right in one step and directly using the most common segment code display screen in later generations. It is the display screen we often see on calculators, which can be made up of seven-segment liquid crystals.
Any number, and then in the lower right corner of each number, there is a dot.
But it was such a small thing that was first used ten years later.
This thing is not that difficult to achieve. Liquid crystal that can emit light is one of the keys. In addition, the processing of conductive glass is also a difficulty.
The more Zhao Ye thought about it, the thicker the manuscript paper in his hand became, until at that moment, he wanted to give up.
But it didn't work. Listening to the sounds outside, Zhao Ye felt a wave of unwillingness. People like this used the primitive means of people pulling on shoulders to build such a factory. What are they doing? Isn't it just thinking?
In order to develop this nation and country as soon as possible, can we live a good life in the future? Everyone is striving for such a goal, how can he sit at home and wait for one day to make a fortune by selling antiques?
You always have to leave something for this life.
You can't live your whole life again and live the same way as before!
Zhao Ye took out a large blank drawing from the space, leaned on it, and began to draw. This time, although there was still a suspicion of plagiarism, he hoped that every stroke on this drawing was his contribution to this world.
completed in.
In fact, he found that when it came to actual work, his thoughts were simpler. He just wanted to get the things out of his "brain", and as for the rest, let him go.
In this way, Zhao Ye's life suddenly became regular. He ate, slept, and drew pictures every day. Almost the whole world had nothing to do with him.
