Siheyuan: The Era of Core Generation

Chapter 169 Program-Controlled Communication System
The first phase of the Zhennan Islands project plans to build an oil and gas extraction plant, a small oil refinery, a natural gas power plant, a wharf, an airport, a small rolling mill, a machine repair shop, and an electronics factory.

Of course, with so many things, it is impossible to build them all at once.The first to start construction was a pier, an airport, and an oil exploration team.

It is impossible for the electronics factory to be placed in the first batch. After all, there is no foundation, and there is no need to build it.

The activity of selecting and dispatching personnel from the joint factory is in progress. The reason why they began to select and dispatch at this time is also that the nature of support is more. Of course, the corresponding site selection and planning also require their past personnel.

In the past two days, the staff in the laboratory began to become nervous, for fear that the factory would send someone to "invite" them to talk.

Of course, the reason why I am so scared is that in the past two days, people have been "asked away" every day, and it is the kind that never returns.

Only those who are selected, you can put down the work at hand, then go home, and discuss with your family how you choose.

This is a major matter, and it is impossible not to discuss it with the family.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer people in the lab.

Zhao Ye finally had a quota to choose from.

On this day, Zhao Ye invited Professor Ci, Professor Zhang, Professor Xie, and several teachers he knew from Mizuki over here.

There is only one purpose, to choose people!

If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. For Zhao Ye, the No. [-] laboratory, the best tool is talent.Without a team with combat effectiveness, nothing can be done well.

Several professors are all teaching in the university, whether it is the students who have taught in the past, the colleagues who have worked with, or even heard about or seen, as long as they are talents in this field, Zhao Ye will not dislike them at all.

It took a whole day for several people to pull out a list of one hundred and ten people.Of course, Laboratory No. [-] does not need so many people, but so many people may not all be willing to come!Even if some are willing to come, their original units may not be willing to let them go.

So in almost every group, Zhao Ye asked everyone to come up with three or four backup candidates.It is to prevent the situation that the other party cannot come.

Following the sending of telegrams, Zhao Ye and his team in the capital also started various preparations.Zhao Ye also began to explain to everyone what he was going to do.

Generally speaking, the essence of making a call is to interconnect the two devices that want to talk and establish a signal transmission channel.At present, most of the telephones in our country still stay at the level of manual wiring.There are also a small number of cities that use rotary telephones.This is the most mainstream way in the world today.

Rotary telephones have been in use for more than 50 years, and his switchboard is a combination of mechanical and electronic switches.Although it is also automatic, it has a lot of disadvantages such as complicated operation, low number of telephone doors carried, high maintenance cost and so on.

The program-controlled telephone was also invented this year, but after Bald Eagle invented the laboratory version, it did not continue to study it. It was not until five years later that the first real program-controlled exchange was put into commercial operation in France.

Zhao Ye drew a system architecture diagram on the blackboard.In this design, the design of data exchange network is the core of the whole system.This network consists of a network of lines connecting individual telephones, group subscriber processors, area network switches, central network switches, and remote terminal network processors.

In the whole system, the group user processor and the central network switch are the core parts.The group user processor is directly related to how many telephones can be connected and processed by one device at the same time. If the number is small, there is no application value. If the number is large, their processing chips need to be powerful enough.

The other is the central network switch, which is the core equipment of a region.It is responsible for the interaction of each group of user processors, and also for the control of the entire communication network.

Zhao Ye broke up this logical principle and explained it to everyone in the audience.Professor Ci and Professor Xie, listening to Zhao Ye's narration, felt like their scalps were going numb.

To be honest, they are only engaged in computer design, and now the overall planning and construction of this communication system, they feel that it is much more complicated than simply designing a chip and a computer.

Of course, Zhao Ye didn't intend to let these people be responsible for the design of this system. The purpose of telling them this today is to let them have a general understanding of the entire system.In the following branch tasks, they will undertake the work of designing special-purpose computers and corresponding functional chips.

Therefore, in order to better understand their design intentions in the future, Zhao Ye feels that it is better to explain the overall framework to everyone.

Even if it is the previous project requirements analysis.

"Yezi, we are doing this now. Are we going too far? How many telephones do we have in the whole country? Do we need to do this now?" Professor Ci finished listening to today's "class" and saw Zhao Ye was a little "divorced" from the design and manufacture of chips, and changed to make this program-controlled switchboard, and felt a little bit lost in his heart.

"Teacher, what is the purpose of our design and production of chips? Don't we want to apply them to actual products? We can't endlessly improve the integration of chips and create chips with better performance. Produce a few computers?" Zhao Ye explained to his teacher, what he said was quite reasonable, the large-scale application of chips is not just for inventing and improving computers, it is just a small part of it. direction.

The biggest direction of the chip is to integrate with various automation equipment to produce various magical abilities and effects.

The program-controlled switch is the most inaccessible category in people's lives, but we can't see it. What we see in front of us may be a telephone line and a telephone.The capabilities and technologies behind it are invisible to ordinary people, and they don't care about them.

But these things that you can't see and don't care about are the cornerstone of a country and a society's progress.

"Okay, but Zhao Ye, don't ignore our chip development. The year before last, you said you were going to study [-]-micron technology, but we haven't been able to come up with this technology yet. If you don't make progress, you're falling behind. !" Professor Ci is still brooding over the big goal that Zhao Ye mentioned back then.Of course, for this goal, they have also done countless works.Especially Professor Xie, who has studied the materials Zhao Ye left for her many times over and over again, and many of the contents in it have been realized.

However, again, the later the chip is, the more complex the technology and the more disciplines are required.Nowadays, if we want to develop more advanced chip technology, only the progress of one or two disciplines can no longer support its great progress.

What Zhao Ye needs is an overall improvement, an improvement in all disciplines and categories.Only in this way can the new generation of chips be transformed from design to reality.

So how can it be improved?

need!Only demand can stimulate the development of these disciplines, and only demand can give greater impetus to those factories and research institutes.It is only demand that can allow leaders at all levels to raise this development to a new height.

This is especially important in today's economic system.

After all, later generations rely on the market, and today rely on orders.Under the two different systems, the direction of Zhao Ye's efforts is of course also different.

And the programmed electronic information exchange network is a big pie he drew for the leaders, and it is also a big pie that can be eaten.Only in this way can the superiors pay attention to and develop this field.Only by paying attention to and developing it, Zhao Ye's new generation chip plan can be successful.

Otherwise, who would care about him.You spend so much money and money, you have to engage in three-micron technology.In the end, the new technology you have developed is just to improve the performance of the computer a little bit. Of course, people will not think that your technology is useful, urgently needed, and important.

But the program-controlled switchboard is different. With such an expectation, economic and political significance, this is likely to become an important job, an urgently needed job, and a useful job.

This kind of work, of course, needs strong support.

Zhao Ye also desperately tried to seize this last peaceful moment.He really hopes that he can get this thing out within this year, otherwise, if the time is too long, it will affect his overall plan.

After a few more days, Zhao Ye's mood gradually improved.

The reason is very simple. People from the No. 60 laboratory have come one after another.After more than half a month, the [-] telegrams sent out at that time brought together more than [-] great powers.

This is already very good, at least the skeleton of Zhao Ye's entire project can be built.

Zhao Ye's actions were very fast, almost every day, a new design team was born.According to the design plan given to him by the system, Zhao Ye kept filling people in.But with more and more people, Zhao Ye became more and more busy.

But if you are busy, you can't be busy.

Zhao Ye's first task to solve is the lithography machine and etching machine.In order to better complete the design work, he must have a new computer as an auxiliary means.

And if you want to have a new computer, you must have a new variety of chips.

Therefore, after a period of disturbance, the source of all problems has once again returned to chip production.

Zhao Ye sighed, Professor Ci smiled, and Professor Xie looked at the pair of master and student speechlessly. Now she really wants to know, how did Professor Ci teach Zhao Ye in the first place?Do you also want to be like this now, every time Professor Ci can "hold" Zhao Ye in his palm, he behaves more like a child than Zhao Ye.
