After hearing Professor Ci's words, Zhao Ye sighed in his heart. It was impossible to stay in school. If this could be considered twenty years later, at this stage, he did not dare to stay in school and work.
University has always been a "troublesome place", and in the years to come, it will become even more of a big whirlpool. The reason why Zhao Ye exerts his efforts now is largely to allow himself to occupy a small piece of that whirlpool early.
land.
There is no need to think about protecting everyone. If he can protect the electronics industry, he will use all his strength.
Just like his efforts today, he didn't need to make the so-called scientific calculator so complicated. The worst he could do was to stack it on top. Even with ordinary transistors, these functions can still be achieved.
But no, if microelectronics cannot be made into an industry that is essential to national defense and daily life in the past few years, then the sustainable development of this industry cannot be guaranteed in the future. The only way is to make it an irreplaceable dependence on national defense and scientific research.
Only by protecting it from the destruction of the years to come can it become a sharp sword in the hands of this country when the weather is clear in the future.
You know, at the time when Zhao Ye came, chips had surpassed bulk imports such as grain and oil, becoming the country's largest import item.
Zhao Ye doesn't want to come here in vain. His biggest task now is to expand the application scope of microelectronics. Only application is the biggest driving force for the progress of an industry.
He had already had an idea. After this thing was completed, he would do two things.
The first is to further develop its capabilities based on this scientific calculator and connect it with machine tools, communications and other important things.
The second is to find a way to persuade the superiors to agree to use the first-generation products for export. Foreign exchange is needed as a country no matter what historical period. Unless your currency itself can be used as foreign exchange.
Someone may have said, when a big storm comes, who will care whether you can export and earn foreign exchange? Do you really think it will be in the future?
People who think this way have entered into a misunderstanding. In fact, during the entire storm, our imports and exports have not stopped. Although our imports and exports fell sharply for a year or two, they soon recovered to the level
The general level before. And the import and export targets are many Western countries such as Japan, the United States and Europe. It is so amazing!
In previous lives, most of the exports were commodities with low added value, but what about the export of electronic products? Zhao Ye can be sure that it must be the product with the highest added value in our country, even higher than the added value of weapons.
.
This is not an exaggeration at all. No matter what era, no matter what storm, it is impossible to impact an industry related to national defense security and export and foreign exchange earnings.
It may be said that the industry is too big, but Zhao Ye wants to at least create a somewhat stable and development environment for these related factories.
Staying in school? That can't do all this.
What he has to do is to promote the development of this industry as soon as possible. Don't wait for the storm to come. If the development of this industry is still in its infancy, it will be too vulnerable.
But if he wants to develop as quickly as possible, he must let this thing catch one or several express trains. In his vision, it is national defense technology and export earnings.
But no matter which one, Zhao Ye needs to start making big strides now, not only to make good products, but also to cultivate a good team. Only when a complete industrial chain is formed can this thing be considered to have a foothold.
Only by focusing on land can we highlight its importance and seek future stability and development.
The joint factory and research institute was Zhao Ye's first plan and arrangement. And the scientific calculator he built was his first weapon.
In order to build this powerful tool and catch a ride with the Northwest, he could only spare no effort to bring these people along and jointly bring the microelectronics industry into a new stage.
As time passed day by day, Zhao Ye's design ideas for his own were gradually taking shape in everyone's minds.
First, the general shape is taken, then the details are refined, and finally implemented into the project.
At the end, Zhao Ye proposed a total of nearly forty technical problems that needed to be solved. Of course he had a solution in mind, but he couldn't say it out at once.
Doing so is not only detrimental to the growth of the team, but also detrimental to the safety of the entire project.
Originally, it was exaggerated that he completed the entire product design "single-handedly". If he immediately proposed solutions to every technical detail, wouldn't others become his followers? That's not him.
want.
At the very least, these people should be used as experimental assistants. For all technical problems, Zhao Ye did not specify detailed research directions. In fact, it is not necessary for him to explain it. If you compare it with the calculators that have been made, it is generally the same.
There will be a research idea.
This is the continuity of scientific research. For example, in the display part, one is a segment display and the other is a dot matrix display. In fact, the structure of the entire product is similar. The difficulty here is to change the "segment" of each display grid into a more
Small "point". In addition to the difficulty upgrade in processing technology, the most difficult part is actually the circuit design and memory design to support the display function.
After all, the entire previous screen had only a dozen storage units. One storage unit only needed four storage units to express a complete number in binary, and then added a decimal point storage unit, plus an address storage unit.
Expressed in later terms, Zhao Ye originally designed a byte with only four bits, and the entire display only needed a dozen bytes.
But it doesn’t work now. If a display cell is composed of hundreds of points, then controlling the display of a cell requires at least hundreds of storage units to achieve, and this does not include those responsible for basic logic control.
Data units. Adding that would probably more than double the number. Add in the hundreds of display units, and the increase in difficulty would be exponential.
The person in charge of this research was Professor Chen from Beijing University. Thinking about the difficulty, he had no idea how to start. After thinking for a long time, he had to find Zhao Ye.
"Classmate Zhao Ye, I have been thinking about this for a long time and feel that our steps are too big?" Professor Chen asked carefully.
"Well, it is indeed very difficult. But I think given our current technical level, we can still overcome it if we think of a way." Zhao Ye had a plan in mind and spoke more relaxedly.
"What did you think about it? Can you tell me?" Professor Chen unconsciously used the title you. Although Zhao Ye is old enough to be his son.
However, in terms of knowledge, I have always valued those who have masters as teachers. Professor Chen does not think it is shameful to ask a young person for advice. Besides, there is no one here who can compare with this genius.
"Beast".
"That's what I think. You don't need to think about the register unit first. That's the job of the memory group. You just need to make assumptions about the logic design. Once the memory group has achieved results and comes up with qualified memories, we will
Integrate it. For this problem, you just need to design how to use the least storage space to achieve our display needs."
"What about the control circuit? What method do we use?" Professor Chen asked.
"In this aspect, we still use the same process method we used before, which is nothing more than adding the decimal point of the segment code to the entire display unit. You don't need to consider this production process, that is a matter for the process team. What you consider is how to design the back
The circuit behind the board. My idea is to add a circuit board behind the background board. This circuit board cannot be a single layer, but should be a multi-layer structure. In this way, we can realize such a large-scale circuit.
Distribution. Therefore, how to create this multi-layer circuit board is the focus of your consideration."
"What about filling the liquid crystal? You can't use the previous filling method, right?"
"Of course it won't work. Let's put this aside for now. Let's all think of ways to solve it." Zhao Ye didn't say any more about this method. He wanted Professor Chen to give it a good try and see what he could come up with.
Come on.
After Zhao Ye finished speaking, he wanted to leave. Professor Chen became anxious when he saw it. He quickly chased a few steps and asked: "There is one more question, the last one. What should we do with the polarizer? If we want to make at least twenty square meters
Centimeters, then this polarized lens must be at least 120 square centimeters. We don’t have such a large processing capacity for this."
"Well, you need to think of a way to process the glass. You can find a technician or a senior technician in the glass factory. There is always a way." Zhao Ye said calmly.
Zhao Ye said as he walked, finally getting rid of a hundred thousand whys. Now the sequelae of his "lectures" in the past few days have become more prominent. Everyone treats him as a teacher and wants to get an answer to any question from him.
But Zhao Ye can't just say everything. What he has to do now is to guide everyone in the right direction and maximize their subjective initiative.
Just after walking out of Professor Chen's fire range, he once again fell into the bombing radius of Professor Zhang from Beijing University.
"Classmate Zhao Ye, I've been thinking about it for the past few days. I still have no idea about the input device you mentioned. Can you tell me in detail your idea?"
"Okay!" Zhao Ye was a little helpless, but there was nothing he could do about it. What he said before was just a basic concept. If he wanted others to start work, he had to make his detailed ideas clear. In this way, they would do what they wanted.
Only then can it be integrated with his calculator project.
"This is what I think. The design of the input part includes two large parts. One is the peripheral keyboard, just like the buttons of the previous calculator, but we may have a lot of buttons this time. I roughly give
Draw it." As he said that, Zhao Ye drew a rectangle on the notebook handed over by Professor Zhang, and then marked the buttons one by one on it.
There are numbers and symbols. Zhao Ye thought, should we mark them with English letters?
