Great Power Ship

Chapter 199 Computers

This is what Wen Dawei waited for, without further ado, he directly hired Qi Yongan as the first specially-appointed technical consultant of the Zhujiang Shipbuilding Factory Advisory Committee, and was generally responsible for the preliminary preparations, technical planning, process specifications and staff training of the entire shipbuilding business .

These days, the Advisory Committee is a common institution in all units, and it is mainly a special institution set up for those old leaders and veteran cadres who have retreated to the second line to continue to use their waste heat.

As a well-known enterprise in Yongjiang, Zhujiang Factory is naturally not exempt.

It's just that the Zhujiang factory has only been established for a few years, and the average age of the cadres and employees is just in their early thirties, and there are no old cadres or leaders involved, so the Zhujiang factory's advisory committee has always been empty.

Except for Wen Dawei's mentor, Li Xin, who is the chairman of the advisory committee, there is no one else.

Now Qi Yongan's joining is a waste of real work in this organization, so Wen Dawei is also wondering if he can add more talents in the future.

However, this idea was only rejected after two rounds in Wen Dawei's head.

Qi Yongan's leaks are not easy to pick up, so let's talk about the most important things in front of us!

With the joining of Qi Yongan, a big cow, the problem of ship staking in Zhujiang Factory immediately ushered in a turning point. Relying on Qi Yongan's rich experience in ship staking; A flash of inspiration.

After more than half a year of hard work, the core algorithm and basic structure of the "high-end" ship mathematical lofting were finally determined, and after more than a month of improvement, it was officially applied to the construction of the 6 ferries of the Hong Kong Island Shipping Company.

"Originally we had to carry out the lofting process of the same type of ship. It took more than a month to manufacture just a few isometric models. After that, we had to divide the area, process the plates, and adjust the smoothness... After a series of procedures, one or two more It will take a month to complete..."

Of course, Wen Dawei couldn't tell Gao Song so many secrets in the factory. He just briefly introduced the research and development of "high-end" ship mathematics lofting, then changed the subject, and said in a very high-profile way: "However, using our self-developed 'high-end' After the ship mathematical stakeout algorithm system, more than 30 people and more than three months of work before, now only need 5 people and 10 days to complete the stakeout process of a 1000-ton ship. Of course, this is still the efficiency of manual calculations. If applied to a computer, the efficiency will be faster..."

"You are also equipped with computers?" Gao Song was not only a little surprised when he heard this, but he also visited many shipyards in the mainland, and none of them had computers.

There are big factories like Jiangnan Shipyard in East China and Hongqi Shipyard in Northeast China. The problem is that such big factories are not accessible to a small Hong Kong businessman like him. Therefore, whether there is a computer or not is Gao Song’s judgment on shipbuilding in the mainland. An important basis for the strength of the factory.

It stands to reason that a new factory like Zhujiang Factory, which has not been established for a few years and has just transitioned to produce ships, should not have such high-end configurations. According to Wen Dawei, it seems that it really has computers.

"I have already said that our factory is a key support unit of the province, so the hardware configuration is very high. Of course, compared with those brother factories of the same level, we have no advantage over those big factories, so The computers in our factory can only be said to be about to be used..."

Speaking of this, Wen Dawei pointed to the second floor opposite along the window: "It's right there, the TQ-13 electronic computer produced by the No. The 'high-end' ship math lofting algorithm system had to be optimized. Fortunately, our engineers are very good. After improvement, it can run normally under 16KB memory.

This has also greatly improved our work efficiency. If we undertake the construction of a civil ship with a displacement of [-] tons at this time, the whole ship's stakeout process will not take more than one day to complete..."

Hearing Wen Dawei's words, Gao Song couldn't help nodding his head slightly. Looking at the metal cabinet-like things on the second floor across the street, he frowned as if he was thinking about something. As for the other senior executives of Hong Kong Island Shipping Whispering, they were all talking about how their executive vice president suddenly changed his temperament and began to have such a great interest in Zhujiang factory.

So they didn't notice Zhang Dingjun's uncontrollable strange expression next to Wen Dawei.

There is no way, Wen Dawei's ability to tell nonsense with his eyes open really made Zhang Dingjun amazed.

It is true that the Zhujiang factory has TQ-16 electronic computers, but it has nothing to do with Yongjiang. It is an old thing that was eliminated after the restructuring of the Southwest Ordnance Industry Bureau, upgrading equipment and preparing to import brand-new business computers from IBM in the United States. .

There are a total of 5 computers, big and small, and 3 are 70 series computers developed in the early 709s. They are surprisingly large in size and volume. To put this guy down, at least a three-story building needs to be vacated.

The remaining two are TQ-16 electronic computers, which are upgraded products based on the 13 series computers of No.709 Electron Tube Factory in Shanghai, produced in the late 70s.

The biggest improvement is the reduction in size, from occupying a small three-story building to now only needing a slightly larger office.

With the reduction in size, energy consumption has also been greatly improved.

You must know that the power consumption of the 709 series computers is no worse than that of a large-scale production workshop. In order to cool down the computer and avoid overheating and damage to electronic components, a dedicated air conditioner must be equipped for heat dissipation.

Such a dedicated air conditioner is not only expensive, but also consumes a lot of power. Therefore, even if the 709 series computers are given to Zhujiang Factory for free, Zhujiang Factory may not be able to afford it.

So at that time, Wen Dawei, who had missed out in the past, decisively chose two TQ-16 electronic computers. Even though he had to pay some transfer fees for this, the mere 1.8 RMB was really nothing to Wen Dawei.

As for the other three 709 series computers, they were received by the local computer center in Double Star City.

Zhujiang Factory, which got two TQ-16 electronic computers, immediately put them into the manufacture of six ferries. In addition to calculating the lofting and plate size of the ship, there are also calculations of dynamic coefficient, buoyancy coefficient, and wave resistance. Many basic calculations in shipbuilding, such as high-performance calculations, have greatly improved the production efficiency of Zhujiang Factory.

Otherwise, the Zhujiang factory would not have been able to make the No. 1 ship ready to launch in less than a month after starting construction.

From this point of view, the two TQ-16 electronic computers are indeed multipliers in production, but at the moment Zhang Dingjun feels that Wen Dawei's motivation for showing the hole card in the Zhujiang factory's hand is not pure, and there is no way. Zhang Dingjun, the old team member of Wen Dawei, is too aware of Wen Dawei's style, and behind his increasingly gentle smile is definitely an unfathomable pit!

Sure enough, when Gao Song was looking at the computer room on the second floor opposite, Wen Dawei suddenly lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "Our core algorithm can run on IBM's 286 computer!"

Gao Song, who didn't know what to think, suddenly narrowed his eyes when he heard the words...
