"Don't worry about this for now and go on to tell me what you think." Professor Zhang urged.
"Okay, let's talk about the third one, which is the pre-research of new technologies. This is divided into two aspects. One is the research of the next generation of production equipment, and the other is the design of the next generation of computer core. The two are complementary to each other."
After Zhao Ye finished speaking, the two professors fell into thinking. They were not questioning Zhao Ye's ideas, but thinking about how to realize these ideas.
After all, they are just professors at a university. Zhao Ye's plan is too big and requires too many people, money and resources to be coordinated. This is not something they can handle alone.
To be honest, this Shuguang-1 still had a free ride on the Great Northwest Project. Without this project, it would have been almost impossible to produce the finished product so quickly.
Zhao Ye is also troubled by this. His idea is to link up with national defense and foreign trade. Both of these can be of great help to his career. But now is a historical period when the two camps are in opposition, and the country is fighting against both sides.
The relationship is a bit tense. At this time, Zhao Ye feels that there may be only one national defense. It's not that he doesn't want to do foreign trade, but he has no autonomy at all in this aspect.
However, in the field of national defense, there is still a long way to go before computers of this era can play a role.
Thinking along this line of thought, Zhao Ye suddenly found that he had entered a misunderstanding. During this period, he was too focused on future generations of personal computers.
You can't blame him for this. Who makes him an ordinary person in later generations? From the moment he came into contact with computers, he was a relatively mature personal PC. When these people kept developing "microcomputers", he couldn't help but
I want to build PCs for future generations.
But the reality is such a slap in the face. The entire technical level and industrial system cannot support him to engage in this thing now.
Then he can't do anything? Isn't his goal to develop integrated circuits? When did he go "detour"?
Therefore, Zhao Ye himself fell into thinking in the relative silence of several people.
Once this idea was opened, it finally became clearer. Integrated circuits, or chips, are not only useful in computers. They can play a huge role in many fields. For example, automatic machine tools, rocket missiles, aircraft avionics, etc.
Communication engineering, radar, etc., aren't they all areas where chips can exert their capabilities?
Zhao Ye thought about which aspect he should start from. These areas were not something he was familiar with. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he knew nothing about them.
But he doesn't understand. Isn't there someone who understands sitting in front of him?
For example, Professor Ci, he is engaged in radio and focuses on radar research. There is also Professor Zhang, he is engaged in industrial automation and has done a lot of research on the electrification of industrial production.
Isn’t this a ready-made resource?
"Professor Ci, Professor Zhang, we don't have to worry too much about computers. After all, this thing is a large category. Our power is limited. I think the current focus is how to broaden the application scope of our existing technology.
"Zhao Ye said after interrupting everyone's thinking.
"Oh? What should I say? What do you think?"
"I think that for the current Shuguang-1, we should step up efforts to improve the parallel computing capabilities of multi-processors and the interface for connecting hard disks. As for issues such as displays, we can put them aside first and let everyone
Research institutes and processing plants should digest the existing technology and accumulate some experience for the next upgrade."
Zhao Ye listened for a while and then asked Professor Ci: "Teacher, your current research direction is radar, right? We can strengthen the integration of radar and computers in this aspect."
Then he turned to Professor Zhang and asked: "And Teacher Zhang, you are studying industrial automation. We can also make a fuss in this area."
"Ah? You mean you don't want to do computers anymore? How can that work?" Professor Ci was the first to quit, and he had already made up his mind to change his major. Now Zhao Ye tells him not to play, isn't this a lie?
"Teacher, it's not that we don't have computers anymore, but we need to expand the application fields of computers, such as radar, machine tools, etc." Zhao Ye explained patiently.
"Computers and radars? How do they go hand in hand?" Professor Ci was a little confused. What are the similarities between them?
"Professor Ci, I think this idea is very good. I don't know about radar, but after using CNC machine tools, I think it's very promising!" Professor Zhang on the side said.
"Eh? I remember, didn't Shuimu University build an X53K1 a few years ago? Our computer might really be able to be combined with a CNC machine tool." After Professor Zhang reminded him, Professor Ci also remembered the CNC machine tool equipment at Shuimu University.
Already.
"Yes, that's what I mean. I think this can be combined with that over there. In my opinion, the combination of the two will definitely bring about different effects." Professor Zhang also said confidently.
Indeed, he was confident that when the CNC machine tool was developed, he also did some assistance work. However, the machine tool was less practical and the production efficiency was not as good as manual operation, so it had no promotion value. But if it is compared with the computer
What about the combination? Will there be any unexpected effects? At least the computing power of the computer is much stronger than the analog circuit control system they integrated.
Zhao Ye became even more excited as he listened to the discussion between the two people. This opened up new ideas. Zhao Ye also started talking at this time. It turns out that in that world, didn't computers start with single-chip microcomputers in industrial production?
You can also take this route yourself.
Especially in a few years, most factory production personnel will not be stable, and senior technicians will become increasingly scarce. At this time, isn't it the time for precision CNC machine tools to show their talents?
Just do it if you think of it!
The day after they finished talking, Zhao Ye walked into Director Yang's office.
"Eh? Yezi, are you here? I was just looking for you!" Director Yang said immediately when he saw Zhao Ye walking into his office.
"Ah? Master, what do you want to do with me? I also have something to do with you!" Zhao Ye walked to the opposite side of Director Yang's office and sat down on the chair directly.
"That's right, I just received a task from the first-level ministry today, asking us to jointly design and produce a production line for your calculator. Time is very tight. Please put aside what you are doing these days.
Help me implement this task." Director Yang arranged the task for Zhao Ye politely.
"Ah?" Zhao Ye was surprised. This was too sudden.
"Master, why are the superiors so anxious to produce this? This thing cannot be produced in a short while."
"This is a task and an order. No matter how difficult it is, we have to overcome it. Don't complain!" Director Yang knows Zhao Ye's character. If you don't wind up things that interest him, he will
Too lazy to move.
"No, Master, I just want to ask, why are you in such a hurry? Is it..." Zhao Ye made a very obscure gesture and motioned towards Director Yang.
"Well, your guess is correct, but the idea must be kept secret. Our country's staff on Hong Kong Island announced the sample of this calculator to the outside world, and it was very popular. So our superiors instructed us to come up with the production line as soon as possible and make it in time.
of producing this calculator.”
"Master, but with the current situation, which country can we export to? Aren't all the countries in the world now enemies of us?"
"What are you talking about? It's like we have no friends! Our country still has many international friends. Besides, don't ask around when you shouldn't. Don't raise your tail!" Director Yang said to Zhao seriously.
Ye.
"No, no, I'm just a little surprised. How can we still speak out now?" Zhao Ye asked knowingly.
"Isn't it strange that you are still a college student and you don't pay attention to this news? Not to mention this year, last year alone, our total import and export volume exceeded 9 billion. How come it comes to your mouth?
Are you like a loner? You need to improve your political studies!"
"Ah! Haha, okay, master, it's a good thing to be able to export and exchange for foreign exchange. This can also buy more technical equipment that the country needs, right?" Zhao Ye was really happy now. He knew that this was her last year.
The matter that Mother Han asked him about has now made progress.
Well, of course, if there are good things, they must be sold, and it is not something related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Such valuable things must be exported more, so as to cut a wave of capitalist leeks.
"What do you want from me?" Factory Director Yang almost drooled when he saw where Zhao Ye was laughing, so he interrupted him and asked.
"Oh, that's it. Now I want to work with Shuimu University on CNC machine tools, and I want to report to you first."
"CNC machine tool? Is it the one made by Jingyi Machinery?" Director Yang asked in confusion.
"Ah? Jingyiji? I don't know, I just know that Shuimu University did it." Zhao Ye also answered doubtfully.
"Well, that's right. It's the one made by Jingyi Machinery. Why do you suddenly want to make machinery again? Don't you want to make electronics?" Director Yang responded to Zhao Ye's behavior of hitting a hammer here and there a stick here and there.
A little bit unfavorable.
"Master, I am engaged in electronics. To a large extent, this CNC machine tool also relies on the computer we make to run. Of course, the computer is only a part of it. However, it is also a very important part, otherwise it would not be called CNC.
It’s a machine tool, isn’t it?”
"Oh, I don't understand this very well. If you want to do it, just ask your teacher and the others, but you can't delay the tasks of our factory. The top priority now is to design the finalized calculator production line as soon as possible. You can take care of the rest by yourself."
Director Yang finally concluded.
"Yes, Master, I promise to complete the task!" Zhao Ye stood at attention and answered loudly, then sat down again and said to Director Yang: "Master, in fact, we have completed the preliminary design of this calculator production line.
, we can start construction after the relevant units complete the demonstration."
"Hahaha, you kid, I knew you were prepared!" Director Yang laughed happily.
