Several little brothers looked at each other, and one of them said: "Li Donglai? I've heard of him. This guy is very powerful. Even the bangs were beaten to the point of losing his temper by him. Can we be his opponent?"
Bai Dacheng frowned and said, "What are you afraid of? There are many of us, so we are afraid that we can't defeat him together? Besides, I just taught him a lesson, not to do anything to him."
Several younger brothers were still hesitant, and one of them said, "Brother Dacheng, it would be terrible if we were caught in this matter."
Bai Dacheng became a little impatient and said: "Don't worry, as long as we are careful, we won't be caught. And when it is done, each person will get one yuan, which is not a small amount. Think about it, one yuan can buy
How many good things are there.”
Several little brothers were a little moved by Bai Dacheng's words. They looked at each other, and the last one said: "Okay, Brother Dacheng, let's do it. But you have to keep your word, and you must give us money after it is done."
.”
Bai Dacheng showed a satisfied smile and said: "Don't worry, brothers. When did I, Bai Dacheng, stop keeping my word? As long as you help me get this thing done, you will definitely get the money."
The little brothers nodded and began to discuss a specific action plan.
At this time, Li Donglai was busy in the laboratory.
Now that the lumberyard has been transformed into an automobile factory, and the ministry has assigned a dedicated comrade to take charge, he can also free up his hands to develop new projects.
With the funds accumulated by the automobile factory and the technology accumulated by the transistor radio project, we, Li Donglai, can finally start developing small computers.
In this era, foreign computers were still dominated by large tube computers, mainly used for scientific research and military purposes. Minicomputers did not appear.
Even the 103 computers and 104 computers developed by domestic computing institutes are large computers.
In the laboratory, the atmosphere was solemn.
Li Donglai stood in front of a huge blackboard, which was filled with complex circuit diagrams and design ideas. Around him, a group of researchers, including Zhou Jing, were sitting.
Zhou Jing was the first to speak, her brows furrowed and her tone full of worry: "Donglai, I don't think the project of developing a small computer is feasible.
First of all, minicomputers currently have no practical use at all. Although our current large computers are huge, they play an important role in scientific research and military fields. But what about minicomputers? What can they do? Ordinary people cannot use them at all.
Enterprises don’t have this need either.”
Another researcher also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Director. The market prospect of minicomputers is unclear. We have invested a lot of time and money in research and development, but we may get nothing in the end. Moreover, the cost of computers is too high, and ordinary people cannot afford them.
Even if we develop it, who can we sell it to?"
A young researcher continued: "There are also technical difficulties that are too great. Foreign countries still mainly use large-scale tube computers, and we are far behind in technology. Now we have to develop small computers, which is undoubtedly a challenge.
A huge challenge. We may spend a lot of time and energy, but we may not succeed.”
Zhou Jing added: "Donglai, we should focus on more practical projects instead of venturing into an unknown field. We can continue to improve the performance of large computers, or carry out other more feasible projects
.”
The researchers nodded one after another, expressing their disapproval of Li Donglai's small computer project.
Li Donglai listened quietly to the researchers' questions with a calm and firm expression. He raised his head slightly, his eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and then he cleared his throat and began to respond.
"I understand everyone's concerns." Li Donglai's voice was steady and powerful, "However, we cannot give up exploring minicomputers just because they seem to have no obvious use at present. The development of science and technology often advances through constant innovation and experimentation.
.We can’t always follow the lead of foreign countries and just do what they have already done.”
He walked to the blackboard, pointed to some design drawings on it and said: "Although there may not be a clear market demand for minicomputers now, we cannot ignore its future potential. With the advancement of technology, people's demand for computing equipment will increase.
Becoming more and more diverse. Minicomputers may play an important role in many areas, such as small businesses, schools and even homes."
Li Donglai added: "As for the cost issue, it is indeed a challenge. But we cannot not try to reduce costs just because it is expensive. We can reduce production costs through technological innovation and optimized design, so that more people can use computers.
Moreover, as the scale of production expands, costs will gradually decrease."
"I admit that the technical difficulty is high." Li Donglai continued, "But it is precisely because of the high difficulty that we should challenge it. We have accumulated a lot of experience and technology in automobile factories and transistor radio projects, and these are all
It can help the development of small computers. We cannot shrink back because of difficulties. Only by constantly challenging ourselves can we achieve greater breakthroughs in the field of science and technology."
Of course, Li Donglai had another final reason for not telling those researchers.
That is, as a time traveler, Li Donglai has heavenly eyes.
He knew very well that tube computers would soon come to an end and be replaced by chip computers.
Now some large foreign companies have begun to develop small computers. If they don't take the lead now, when those large companies accumulate funds and technology, there will be no hope in China.
The researchers looked at each other in confusion. Although they still had many doubts in their hearts, thinking of the success of Li Donglai's previous projects, the inertia of trust finally prevailed.
Zhou Jing was the first to break the silence. She raised her chin slightly, and her eyes showed determination: "Director Li, since you are so confident, then we believe in you. We don't want to always follow foreign countries, maybe this time we can really
Take a different path."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Other researchers also nodded in support. "Director, we will follow you. No matter how difficult it is, we will overcome it together." "Yes, we trust your judgment."
Li Donglai looked at everyone, and a warm current surged in his heart. He said gratefully: "Thank you everyone for your trust. Since everyone has decided to support this project, we will go all out. Now, I will divide everyone into several groups."
Li Donglai walked to the blackboard, picked up a piece of chalk, and wrote several group names on it. "The first group is responsible for hardware design. You must focus on overcoming the hardware problems of small computers to ensure stable and reliable performance. The second group,
Responsible for software development. We not only need powerful hardware, but also supporting software to maximize the role of small computers.
The third group is responsible for technical research. This group should specifically solve various difficult technical problems encountered in the project and provide technical support for the entire project.
The fourth group is responsible for testing and optimization. At each stage of the project, strict testing must be carried out to discover problems and optimize them in time."
Li Donglai looked at everyone and said seriously: "Each group has its own important tasks. We must cooperate closely and work together. I believe that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to successfully develop a small computer."
The researchers took the order one after another, returned to their respective posts, and began to work on this challenging project.
Under Li Donglai's strong suppression, the steel rolling mill laboratory successfully passed the resolution to develop a small computer.
At this time, Li Donglai suddenly realized that he should tell Director Yang about this matter.
Although the steel rolling mill laboratory is now an independent accounting unit and has little relationship with the steel rolling mill, it is still a subordinate within the mill.
When Li Donglai came to Director Yang's office, Director Yang was having a meeting with several factory leaders.
Li Donglai walked into Director Yang's office. Director Yang saw him and immediately greeted him warmly: "Donglai, what kind of wind brings you here? Sit down quickly." Several factory leaders also expressed their support to Li Donglai.
Curious eyes.
Li Donglai bowed slightly, responded politely, and said straight to the point: "Director Yang, leaders, I have something important to report today. Our steel rolling mill laboratory has decided to develop a small computer."
When Director Yang heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked with interest: "Oh? Small computer? This is a big project. Dong Lai, please tell me in detail."
Li Donglai cleared his throat and began to explain his plan: "Currently, foreign computers are mainly large-scale tube computers, but we believe that small computers have huge development potential. With the advancement of technology, small computers may play a role in many fields.
Important role. Our laboratory has accumulated funds and technology in automobile factories and transistor radio projects, and now we are confident in developing a small computer."
Just as Director Yang nodded slightly and seemed to be thinking, Deputy Director Wang frowned and said rudely: "I object to this plan. It is simply a waste of resources. The main task of our steel rolling mill is production
Steel, it's too risky to invest resources now in a small computer project that doesn't know whether it will come to fruition."
Li Donglai looked at Deputy Director Wang and said calmly: "Deputy Director Wang, we can't just look at the immediate interests. The development of science and technology is changing with each passing day, and small computers are likely to become an important tool in the future. Only by laying out our plans in advance can we
We will have an advantage in future competition. And our laboratory is confident that we can overcome technical difficulties and bring new development opportunities to the factory."
Deputy Factory Director Wang snorted: "It sounds nice, but the risk is too great. We can't take risks with the resources in the factory. If we fail, who will bear the responsibility?"
Li Donglai looked at Deputy Director Wang with firm and confident eyes. "Deputy Director Wang, the funds used for scientific research in our laboratory are all earned by our own efforts. We have the right and ability to decide how to use these funds for scientific research and innovation.
.The minicomputer project was not launched blindly, but after careful consideration and thorough research by us."
As soon as these words came out, Deputy Director Wang was speechless.
Director Yang also felt that Deputy Director Wang was going too far.
You know, the steel rolling mill has also benefited a lot from the things developed in the laboratory of the steel rolling mill.
If it hadn't been for Li Donglai, the steel rolling mill might have been like the lumber mill and other factories now, unable to even pay wages.
It's just that Deputy Director Wang is considered an old deputy director, and Director Yang doesn't want to hurt his feelings.
Deputy Factory Director Wang's face turned red when Li Donglai retorted. He opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to retort for a moment. After a while, he reluctantly said: "I'm just kindly reminding you that after all, the resources in the factory are limited and cannot be wasted at will.
We need to use resources where they are most valuable."
"Okay, the matters concerning the laboratory of the steel rolling mill are decided by Director Li Donglai." Director Yang patted the table and said: "Donglai, I support you. If you need anything, just say anything."
"Thank you!"
Li Donglai expressed his gratitude to Director Yang for his support.
Although Director Yang is a bit old-fashioned at times, he is very determined and knows what should be done and what should not be done.
This is also the biggest reason why Li Donglai has never thought of leaving the steel rolling mill over the years.
You know, relying on Li Donglai's current status, he can establish an independent laboratory at any time as long as he leaves the steel rolling mill.
After leaving Director Yang's office, Deputy Director Wang stood upstairs and watched Li Donglai's back disappear into the sunlight, and he gritted his teeth in anger.
"This guy Li Donglai thinks he has made a lot of contributions, but he never thought about it. He is just the director of a laboratory, and he dares to show off his power in front of me, the deputy director!"
He cursed fiercely, and Deputy Factory Director Wang also knew that Li Donglai was in the limelight at this time, so he really couldn't go against him.
"Just wait and see, one day I will make you look good!"
…..
As night fell, the lights in the laboratory were still bright. Li Donglai was engrossed in his work and completely forgot about the passage of time.
In the small woods not far away, Bai Dacheng and his five little brothers were miserable. They had been lying in wait in this small woods for five hours, from afternoon until night. Mosquitoes were all around them.
They buzzed and flew around, biting them unscrupulously. Their bodies were covered with large and small red envelopes, and they were extremely itchy.
A little brother couldn't help complaining: "Brother Dacheng, how long have you been waiting for? When will Li Donglai come? I'm almost bitten by mosquitoes." As he spoke, he kept scratching.
The bag on the body.
Another little brother also echoed: "Yes, Brother Dacheng. We have been feeding mosquitoes here for so long. Is it worth it? If Li Donglai never comes, won't we suffer in vain?"
Bai Dacheng was also very upset, but he still suppressed his anger and said: "Don't complain. If you wait a little longer, Li Donglai will definitely come. We have already agreed to Liu Haizhong, and after taking his money, we have to settle things
Done."
"But this is too uncomfortable." A little brother said while scratching the bag on his leg, "If I had known that you would suffer so much, I wouldn't have agreed to it. This dollar is not easy to earn."
Hearing this, Bai Dacheng's face darkened: "If you don't want money, you can get out now!"
As soon as these words came out, the little brothers suddenly fell silent.
One dollar can buy more than ten kilograms of stick noodles!
