Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 643 Computer Center and Data Storage Center
Under Jiang Chen's guarantee, Lei Dan and Wei Lingling finally agreed, and Jiang Chen drove his 212 towards Nanshan.But this time he didn't go to the company, nor to the B17 factory, nor to this wolf den base.Instead, they came to two construction sites not far apart.Through the car radio in 212, Jiang Chen had already called Dong Zi, and when Jiang Chen arrived, Dong Zi was already here.

Seeing Jiang Chen coming, Dong Zi and several officers who looked like officials walked over to him one after another, and then greeted him with a smile, "Brother Chen (President Jiang/Worker Jiang)!"

"Well, hello everyone, what's going on now." Jiang Chen looked at the construction site in front of him and asked everyone with a smile.

"Hehe." One of the middle-aged men wearing a red hard hat smiled at Jiang Chen: "Mr. Jiang, the main building of the computer center here has been completed, and now the ancillary buildings and the ground are starting to harden. Wait for these After everything is completed, the equipment can be transported in for installation. The data storage center over there is currently being completed, and it is expected that by April next year, it should be fully completed, and then the installation and commissioning of the equipment will be carried out. At present, we are pulling from the power plant and the power grid. The two dedicated power transmission lines have basically been erected, which can guarantee the full-load power consumption needs of these two organizations. And even if the power grid fails or the power plant has an accident, normal operation can be maintained here.”

"En, very good, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Chen looked at the two construction sites and said with a smile.

These two facilities can be said to be the key foundation for Jiang Chen's next layout, and also one of the important boosters for Jiang Chen's development.The first is the computer center, which is an auxiliary organization jointly invested by Jiangchen Matchmaking Company and B17 Factory.Previously, Jiang Chen's calculations either relied on brain power, or they competed with various production units and user departments for the small computer in the Queuing Provincial Computer Center.Since that computer has been in use for many years, it is now experiencing frequent failures, and the calculation error rate is also increasing. There are still so many units in use, and the time allocated to them is seriously insufficient.What's more, with the development of the company and the needs of the B17 factory, Jiang Chen and the others calculated more and more values, used more and more frequently, and calculated more and more time, so save The small computer inside was no longer enough for Jiang Chen and the others.Therefore, at the request of many scientific research and technical personnel, Jiang Chen and the others held a meeting to study and discuss with the B17 factory, and finally decided that each of the two units will invest half of the money to build these two institutions and help the R & D personnel of the two units to carry out related research and development. R&D computing work.In the future, if there is enough time, maybe this computer center may serve other units and users.

Of course, Jiang Chen and the others want to build a computer center, so of course they won't be as petty as the provincial government and build a small computer.Of course, this small computer is not the kind of high-performance computer we use now, our kind is called personal computing or microcomputer.And this is equivalent to the current server or workstation.However, due to the technical limitations of that era and the backward components, the size of this minicomputer was quite large, and it even took up a special room to store these devices.Of course, it is not possible to develop the most advanced one all at once, and directly give it to the development of a supercomputer like "Yinhe No. 1983" (successfully developed in [-]).That is unrealistic and a great waste.

Therefore, after in-depth research and discussion by the expert group, it is felt that a large and medium-sized computer is in line with the current development needs of Western Company and B17 Factory.Moreover, the development of computers is very fast. I believe that it will not be long before the technology advances, and the performance of these computers will become more and more advanced.So it's better to save the money and develop more advanced computers in the future.After discussion, everyone finally decided to develop and produce a medium-sized computer first.Why research and development? Because such large and medium-sized computers are generally prohibited from being sold. Even if they are sold, they are still expensive. Therefore, such computers are usually developed by enterprises commissioned by relevant computer research and development institutions according to the requirements of enterprises. .

Jiang Chen's medium-sized computer was jointly developed by Jiang Chen and his team with relevant experts from several universities and academies of sciences, as well as the project team established by Jiang Chen's own electronic device and integrated circuit research and development laboratory.Of course, it doesn’t mean that they are really developed by Jiang Chen themselves, purely domestically produced, such as some chips and key components, which Jiang Chen cannot produce, they can only buy them from abroad.Even some things cannot even be purchased, and can only be obtained through special channels.The reason why Jiang Chen did this is also very simple. He knows that in the future, such large and medium-sized computers, and even supercomputers, will be of great help to the needs of national defense, social life, and enterprise production, and even in all aspects.Although the development of large-scale computers in our country has always been among the top in the world, it has always been restrained by other countries in terms of core technology, so it has always been doubly difficult.Jiang Chen wants to use this kind of effort to advance his country's computer technology, especially the core technology, and strive to reach the real world's forefront as soon as possible.Moreover, the market for giant and medium-sized computers and small and microcomputers will always be a well-developed industry in the next few decades. Thinking about the 13 billion computer Internet users in China, Jiang Chen's mouth is watering just thinking about it.

And the data storage center over there is also an organization planned by Jiang Chen.This data center will play a huge role in the future.It will integrate and optimize the various process technologies currently produced by Jiangchen.Even the data calculated by the computer center over there is stored and collected here.The calculation information obtained from the outside is then stored here for research.Moreover, with the expansion of Jiang Chen and the others and the development of commercial technology intelligence news, Jiang Chen and the others have obtained more and more relevant information and intelligence.There has never been a unified place for summary storage, so Jiang Chen asked to build such a data storage center.Moreover, this is also prepared for a certain plan in the future.Once that action is successful, then this huge data center will be filled instantly, and the technologies obtained are enough to push our country into the ranks of the world's manufacturing powers, enough to achieve Jiang Chen's global military industry hegemony .

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen took the white helmet from Dongzi's hand, and said to everyone, "Come on, let's go in and have a look."

"Okay!" Everyone smiled and followed Jiang Chen to the construction site.
