In the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao drove to the Seventh Machinery Department.
In front of the gate, Yang Xiaotao saw Han Sanfeng smoking a cigarette and waiting, so he quickly stopped the car and got out.
The last time I came here, I thought the gate of the Seventh Machinery Department was a bit shabby. It was bare and bare, and the signs were made of wood. It was down several notches compared to the First Machinery Department.
When Yang Xiaotao got out of the car and saw Han Sanfeng approaching, he immediately smiled and said, "Uncle Han, you are here to wait for me."
Han Sanfeng also laughed, "No, I was called out by the chief, so I'm waiting here to greet the big shot."
"Don't dare, don't dare, I'm not a big shot."
Yang Xiaotao waved his hand quickly, then asked Han Sanfeng to get in the car and drove inside.
When I came here last time, I knew that the Seventh Aircraft Department was very big. If I had to walk, it would probably take ten minutes to reach the destination.
The two of them took the car and walked inside, chatting by the way, "Uncle Han, have you been very busy recently?"
"I'm busy. I won't be busy any day."
"You heard about my coming this time, right?"
"I know, the chief said, ahem, we don't care, we also need to do some work on the calculator."
Han Sanfeng almost let it slip, but seeing that Yang Xiaotao's expression didn't change much, he immediately reacted.
In fact, he feels that there is no need to engage in these false things. If you have it, you have it, and if you don’t have it, you don’t have it.
With Yang Xiaotao's intelligence, he might have figured it out a long time ago.
This kind of slapping one's face on someone's face and pretending to be fat made him feel very awkward anyway.
But there is nothing we can do. If the leader says anything, he has to listen.
What's more, the 50,000 yuan was said to be research funding for them.
Ahem
The calculator is with them, so this matter has something to do with them.
"Uncle Han, you have to help me this time and pick a few capable people for me."
Yang Xiaotao ignored Han Sanfeng's thoughts and asked, "The two calculations you helped me calculate last time are good. Do you think you can help me run them?"
"Last time? You were talking about Xiao Wang and Xiao Liu?"
"I don't remember, but they felt pretty good."
Yang Xiaotao forgot their names, but last time he was able to calculate several combinations of alloys, and then asked the Alloy Research Institute to make them. This shows that the other party has real talent and knowledge.
When Han Sanfeng heard what Yang Xiaotao said, he was also thinking about it. Mr. Wang had told him before that he would give it to two people, but he would make the decision on who to give it to.
At this moment, Yang Xiaotao took the initiative to mention the two of them, which made him a little embarrassed.
Because these two people, although young, have flexible minds and solid mathematical skills, they are talents he is optimistic about.
If this was given to Yang Xiaotao, I would feel a little reluctant to part with it.
But then I thought about it, the project itself is here, and the two of them did not leave the Seventh Machinery Department, they just helped set up a project with multiple identities.
"You are good at picking. Wang Kun and Liu Yongqiang are considered young heroes among us. They are very talented in mathematics."
"Haha, of course, the person I like is definitely not bad."
"Well, it's all with us anyway, so it doesn't matter if I let you use it."
"Then it's settled."
"As long as you can convince them."
"good!"
The two of them talked and then came to the front of the office building.
Han Sanfeng then got out of the car and led Yang Xiaotao to the office.
In the room, Mr. Wang did not show a cold face when he saw Yang Xiaotao, but came forward enthusiastically, "Welcome. Our conditions are simple, so don't worry about it."
"This place is full of talents and outstanding people. If it is considered simple, our machinery factory will just collect junk."
"I really like your ability to talk nonsense."
Mr. Wang patted Yang Xiaotao's arm and said, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Okay, let's get down to business!"
"You should have discussed this matter with Lao Han on the way!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I want two people to help, and Director Han has agreed."
"Well! Now that we have agreed, let me also say that since we want to do it, we must do it for success."
Mr. Wang looked at Yang Xiaotao and Han Sanfeng, "I don't mean using your money, but using our people and machines. It feels like working for you or working for us."
"This money and this machine are all the property of the country."
"It's just used by us, so we have to be worthy of the country and the people."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Don't worry, we have to do it well if we want to do it."
Han Sanfeng also nodded, "We all understand what the chief said. We are all here for the same goal."
Mr. Wang nodded, "I have said what needs to be said, and it is up to you to do what needs to be done."
"Do it well."
Both nodded.
Then Yang Xiaotao took out the written report, Mr. Wang read it over himself, and then handed it to Han Sanfeng. After reading it, the other party felt that there was no problem, so he signed the report and used his seal.
Yang Xiaotao also signed on behalf of the machinery factory and stamped it with the machinery factory's seal.
There are two copies, and Yang Xiaotao and Mr. Wang each keep one copy. This cooperation is considered completed.
The report pointed out that the machinery factory cooperated with the Seventh Machinery Department to establish a ‘calculator research group’.
It stipulates that the Seventh Machinery Department is responsible for providing personnel, materials, machines, etc., including but not limited to.
Machinery factories must provide the funds needed for research in accordance with regulations.
The monthly amount is fixed at 50,000 yuan.
Until the project research is successful.
The report also stipulates that the ownership of the research belongs to the machinery factory, and the Seventh Machinery Department only has the right to use it.
In addition, the identity of the person in charge of Yang Xiaotao was also clarified. As for the team members, they include Wang Kun and Liu Yongqiang for the time being.
"Director Han, take him to have a look and make an announcement by the way!"
After Mr. Wang finished the project, he sent Yang Xiaotao away.
The two left the office and then visited the work site under the leadership of Han Sanfeng.
The working place of future calculators is at the Han Sanfeng Computer Research Center.
Han Sanfeng came in with Yang Xiaotao, and saw many people walking around. They all had a common feature, that is, they had a blue clip in their hands, and everyone had their own goals and walked very clearly.
.
Even when he met Han Sanfeng, he only stopped for a moment to call the director, said hello and then continued busy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After walking for a while, the two of them came down the stairs. Yang Xiaotao felt that they should have reached the underground, and there was a vibration of machines around them.
"This is our workspace."
Han Sanfeng pointed to a long row of houses inside. At first glance, it looked like a workshop, very empty, with rows of iron cabinets placed above it.
Yang Xiaotao understood that this was the place to study computers.
"Isn't it cool?"
Han Sanfeng walked in front and smiled, while Yang Xiaotao nodded.
"How many air conditioners have you installed?"
Han Sanfeng held out two fingers. Yang Xiaotao guessed that it must not be two units, so he asked in a low voice, "Twenty units?"
Han Sanfeng shook his head, "Two hundred units!"
"These two hundred units are underground. This is just one floor, and there are two floors below."
"Oh! It's so big!"
"This is just the initial stage, and two more layers will be dug out later."
Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this, "With so many machines turned on at the same time, they must use a lot of electricity."
"Yes, this power consumption is indeed quite large. The daily maintenance is a large amount. If there is an emergency need, the power consumption will be even more."
Han Sanfeng introduced, and Yang Xiaotao nodded in response while looking at the instrument next to him.
After walking for a while, Yang Xiaotao asked, "Uncle Han, is this a transistor?"
Han Sanfeng paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, this is a transistor computer."
Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao, "Last time you said that transistors can only be regarded as transitional, and integrated circuits are the mainstream of development."
"I feel the same way about that."
"The third underground floor is our research place. We are going to study integrated circuits. Your calculator also uses integrated circuits, right?"
"Yes, but the needs of the calculator are simpler and don't need to be too complicated."
"I know, simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, right?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded and then asked about the development of integrated circuits.
Han Sanfeng thought for a moment and thought that Yang Xiaotao was also the person in charge of the project. There were some things he had to know sooner or later.
"We are studying integrated circuits. Although the progress is not fast, simple circuits can still be made."
"What about the display?"
"You are talking about the expression device."
"Yes, can you make it? It's best if it's a liquid crystal one."
"liquid crystal?"
Han Sanfeng smiled bitterly, "Of course we know that liquid crystal is the best, but we have made many requests to the local government, but no one has been able to develop liquid crystal."
"Then how are you going to make the display device?"
"We haven't thought about it yet, but we can't settle this matter."
Han Sanfeng said helplessly, and then the topic shifted to calculators, "The calculator you are talking about should be a simple small calculation device."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, it doesn't require too many functions, just addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. There is no need to store it, so a simple circuit board will do."
"Yeah! It'll be much easier that way."
When Han Sanfeng heard what Yang Xiaotao said, she suddenly felt that this calculator was quite interesting and became interested in it.
Of course, this seems simpler than a computer, but it's also relative.
It's not easy to do it.
At least I won't have to think about it in the near future.
As the two of them walked, Yang Xiaotao asked about various situations. Some of his things only existed in his memory, and his specific knowledge was definitely not as good as Han Sanfeng's.
But when you discuss it with professionals, the effect is different.
As long as you raise your doubts, the other party will always be able to think of a solution, and even if it is inappropriate, they can provide reference suggestions.
"Uncle Han, you said the calculator doesn't have an LCD screen. What's the best thing to use instead?"
"This is simple. You can use a TV screen. Anyway, it uses a circuit board. You might be able to do it if you try it."
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao thought of the TV set at home.
I also think of some things from my past life.
Every time in the middle of the night or early in the morning, I would see a black and white test image, both round and square, with a timer underneath. At that time, every time I opened it, I hoped that the time would go faster and the screen would come out sooner.
The screen projection of this kind of TV is actually controlled by a circuit board.
There are various components on the circuit board, such as transistors and capacitors. They are welded together one by one, and after being powered on, a circuit board is formed.
Then through unique manipulation methods, the image can be expressed on the screen.
It’s just that the welding technology at that time was very rough, and parts would inevitably become loose.
Yang Xiaotao remembers that when the TV at home was playing, the screen would often appear blurred. At that time, the old man would go to the TV and pat the back cover twice, and it would basically be repaired.
At that time, this method of photographing the back cover of a TV set in various ways became a must-have skill for almost everyone.
All this shows that this path is feasible.
"Then let's give it a try first."
"By the way, what do you think about the processing device?"
"This is not difficult. What you want is convenience and no need for storage, so this is different from the two-digit system of computers. You can completely use the ten-digit system, which is also convenient for input and display..."
Yang Xiaotao became more and more excited as he listened, and as Han Sanfeng explained, he felt that the direction of his research was becoming clearer and clearer.
"Uncle Han, why don't you take the lead in this job?"
Han Sanfeng was talking about his opinions when he suddenly heard Yang Xiaotao say this and was stunned.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao's serious look again, he waved his hand quickly, "No, it's not that I won't help you, it's just that I have a lot of things to do and I don't have the energy."
"It doesn't take too much energy. In this way, it's still here for you. Come take a look when you have time, and give me some advice."
"Uncle Han, just think of it as a favor."
"this..."
Han Sanfeng was a little hesitant, not sure whether he should agree or not.
In fact, after learning the whole story from Mr. Wang, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Although it sounds nice, both parties are collaborating on research.
But when it comes to doing it, they are too busy here, so how can they have the time and energy to work on this calculator?
I don't know if this is meant to deceive people.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao's sincere look, Han Sanfeng was not as shameless as Mr. Wang after all, so he nodded lightly, "Okay, I will take care of him when I have time."
