Then, Wang Xuexin poured out a few sentences he knew at once.
In fact, there is no need for Wang Xuexin to say it. After Turing knew that the wiring method could be solidified in this way, he could easily deduce the rest... This is the gap. I think Wang Xuexin learned it in the computer room for more than half a year.
Some are unclear, but to Turing these are extremely simple things.
But the important thing is not actually the language, but that Wang Xuexin pioneered this way of talking to machines in language.
The next thing is simple. All the scientists need to do is hire a few assistants with a certain knowledge base and let them memorize these statements and the corresponding wiring methods... It's okay to memorize them by rote, and then it's up to them.
Responsible for wiring.
Scientists no longer need to do this time-consuming and tiring physical work by themselves. They only need to hand programmers a program or a flow chart written in "C language".
In fact, this was indeed the case in subsequent developments.
Soon after, with the emergence of machine language, the job of programmer became available...but programmers in this era were generally women, not mostly boys like now.
Because the work of programmers during this period was to perform wiring according to a certain pattern over and over again. This work required meticulousness, seriousness, and constant repetition, which is what women are good at.
Modern programming work requires quite strong logical thinking and analytical skills, such as considering the time complexity of the program, whether there are bugs in the space complexity, etc. This is the strength of boys.
Of course, modern editors also need to be careful and careful. A small mistake may make the entire program unable to run. However, modern software has become highly developed and they can automatically find most of these small mistakes without the need for programmers to find them manually.
At this time, programmers who use wiring programming, if there is a small error, that is, one of the wires is connected incorrectly, they have to find it manually. If this kind of work is done by men, it will probably collapse in a short time.
Of course, the C language proposed by Wang Xuexin can play more of a program flow chart role, and it cannot be run directly on modern computers.
But it is not difficult if the logical relationship is clarified and then converted into machine language that can be directly operated.
As a modern person, Wang Xuexin has never learned machine language, so he can just leave this matter to Turing.
Later, Wang Xuexin learned that the benefits of the C language he proposed were not only to simplify the operation of computers, but also to separate algorithms and programs to realize the division of labor in real work, save scientists' time, and have a formatted and standardized
After language, it actually lowers the threshold for learning computers...
For example, Ban Haolin and Chen Jiefeng, who were sent by Wang Xuexin to study with Qiong, although they worked very hard, were stuck in complicated wiring work and faced a bunch of 010111s that had no meaning...
, so that after studying it for more than a month, I still know it but don’t know why.
When Wang Xuexin proposed the C language, they understood it at a glance... It turns out that there is such a logical relationship, it turns out that these 01s have these meanings, and it turns out that the wiring expresses this meaning.
This is especially beneficial to the Eighth Route Army.
Because the sun never sets, it is not difficult to find a group of scientists who can operate computers by relying on feelings and thinking, but it is a dream to find a group of such people for the Eighth Route Army.
If it is difficult to operate a computer, why continue research and development?
Now that Wang Xuexin has lowered the threshold, the problem of the Eighth Route Army's serious shortage of mathematical talents due to weak natural sciences has been well solved, so it is possible for computer research and development to move forward.
Otherwise, even if Wang Xuexin invented a tube computer, it would probably be of no use... no one would understand it, no one would know how to use it, and in the end, foreign talents would have to be introduced.
At this time, Turing was completely immersed in his own world. He happily discussed with Joan how to express the logical relationships corresponding to various wiring methods, and then the nesting of various logical relationships.
, and occasionally exclaimed, because they found that this was like opening the door to a new world in the computer field. The deeper they dug in, the more mysteries and surprises they would find.
This is their studio.
Until a correspondent came in with a document. He glanced warily at Turing and Joan who were writing and drawing on the manuscript paper, obviously worried about leaking secrets.
Wang Xuexin nodded and said, "They are our own people!"
Turing and Joan may not be our own people, but their current job is to decipher the Japanese codes, so they know much more secrets than the intelligence in this office, so there is no need to guard against them.
With Wang Xuexin's order, the correspondent was relieved. He handed the document to Wang Xuexin and said, "This is the material seized by the airborne troops after they captured Yanmen Pass. There is also a defense plan!"
Wang Xuexin took the document and looked at it, and saw that it read: "Thirty-five cars with 38 tons of bullets, fifty-three cars with gasoline, thirty-two cars with artillery shells..."
Turing came up to take a look with interest and said, "It seems that we have won the battle, comrade leader? A lot of supplies have been captured. Congratulations!"
Wang Xuexin was stunned. He didn't expect Turing to be interested in the war.
However, Wang Xuexin didn't want to talk too much about this aspect. He smiled lightly and replied: "It's just a small victory, it's nothing!"
When Turing heard what Wang Xuexin said, he really thought it was just a small victory.
But then they deciphered a secret telegram from the Japanese. The telegram was to report the losses at Yanmen Pass to Neji Okamura, which also included materials seized by the Eighth Route Army.
After seeing this, Turing couldn't help being shocked. He took the message and said to Joan in disbelief: "Can you believe it? He called this battle a "small victory", and he was such an understatement. If the army on which the sun never sets has
With such a victory, they will immediately be on the front page of the Daily Telegraph!"
(Note: The Daily Telegraph was an influential national newspaper that never set during World War II)
Qiong responded helplessly: "Turing, you'd better get used to this. I mean... don't compare their results with the sun never sets! Especially the head of the Chinese regiment!"
Qiong was telling the truth. During World War II, I really can’t say what the results were: Southeast Asia was beaten by the Japanese and they fled everywhere, and the African battlefield was defeated by the Hans. Finally, they relied on Yingjiang’s reinforcements and superior troops to make a comeback.
Trying every possible means to steal credit from Yingjiang.
After a pause, Qiong added: "This is not the humility of the leader of the Chinese regiment, understand? This is indeed a trivial matter for him!"
Turing was a little speechless when he heard this. What kind of person is this leader of the Chinese delegation? He actually has such a legendary and glorious life!
