Siheyuan: The Era of Core Generation

Chapter 67 The First Target Selection
Everyone learned Zhao Ye's song almost overnight.

Zhao Ye's name is also tied to this song.But he firmly refused to admit that this song was created by him.Others don't know it, but he knows it. He "plagiarized" it.Who knows, is this song lying on the manuscript paper of the creator?
But whether this is his original creation, no one here will chase him to ask.As long as the song sounds good, people don't care who created it.

Time passed day by day, and the entire pilot factory was first built in a corner of this land.There are eight bungalows in a row.After the house was built, Zhao Ye was the first to move here.

Forget about heating, it would be nice to have a briquette stove.He brought all his quilt rolls over, and he slept here directly from now on.

In the planning of the whole project, this place only acts as a temporary construction headquarters.After the entire project is completed, this place will only serve as a logistics warehouse.

Therefore, the construction is very simple. The red bricks are exposed indoors, and at most the brick joints have been treated.The roof is a hollow-core slab, but the roof has been treated so that it does not leak.

But in Zhao Ye's plan, this is where his dream set sail.

In such a high-level and high-standard experimental factory, Zhao Ye is the onion. He is very self-aware about this.Therefore, those beautiful laboratory buildings and factories basically have nothing to do with him.

At least it has nothing to do with him at this stage.However, with his relationship with a steel rolling mill, it is not too difficult to come to such a few logistics warehouses.

Therefore, the location of this house construction is very remote.After the surrounding buildings are up, his location is the last dead corner of the factory building.It is estimated that the workers will not choose to go to the hut, because it is too roundabout.

This is exactly the effect Zhao Ye is after. It is best for everyone not to cast their eyes on him.

The few rooms in front of me, each room is not only full of tools, blueprints and so on, but also full of people.

But his room is slightly different, at least the walls are touched with cement.

In this room, there is a desk against the wall, and there is a lamp on the desk.In the center of the room, there is a large table made of wooden boards.

Zhao Ye is sitting next to the table at the moment, gradually immersing his thoughts into the space, and using the help of the system, he slowly builds a model.

calculator!
From a modern point of view, this may be an electronic product that is too simple to be simple.

But in the early 70s, the price of this thing could be sold for five or six hundred dollars each.And it was invented not a few years ago from where Zhao Ye is now.

Such a simple thing can almost be regarded as the first generation of personal computers.Many people in later generations may not have thought that several famous computer companies started from making calculators.

This is not an exaggeration at all.A calculator has its own computing circuit (chip), a controller, a memory, a display, and an input device (button keyboard).

Look, what's the difference between this and a computer?It's just that it's simpler, it's just for counting.

The difficulty Zhao Ye faced was small, but it was also great.

It is very small because his system space can provide him with all the technical materials and drawings of his previous life, even if he wants a finished product, there is no problem.

And the big reason is that he can't be a technological genius in this era, right?No technological advancement can emerge out of thin air.It had to be produced by Zhao Ye bit by bit, step by step.

This is the hardest part.

The first thing he has to do now is to choose the difficulty.What kind of thing do you want to make out?On the basis of this era, it can be realized in a single jump, but it can't be too ambitious and come up with something nondescript.

A small calculator is not so easy to make.But once it is done, Zhao Ye dares to believe that he will be able to achieve a qualitative breakthrough in many aspects.

Lay a solid foundation for his next plan.

While thinking, Zhao Ye wrote and drew on the manuscript paper in front of him.By the time the light in the room could no longer allow him to write normally, he had already written more than a dozen full pages.

"Hey, I'm so poor, I have to do everything myself!" Zhao Ye scratched his hair in distress.

But this is also good, a piece of blank paper is easy to make a fuss about!It can be considered a success if it takes one to two years to get this out.Zhao Ye said so comfortingly.

Putting down the things in his hand, Zhao Ye decided to calm his mind and went to invite Sister Ding to have dinner.In this day and age, the only place where you can ask girls out for dinner is in the cafeteria.

It's not that there are no other places, but that they don't have them nearby.

The two of them had a "rich" dinner, which meant that Zhao Ye secretly added a sausage to their bowls.In this year, month, and place, Zhao Ye really didn't dare to exaggerate.The two ate very sweetly, at least sister Ding thought it was very sweet.

After dinner, Ding Qiunan had to go back to work, and Zhao Ye also came to his "laboratory" again, an empty room.

Zhao Ye returned to his room, still thinking about his calculator.

It's really not that he is so ambitious, he has to come up with such a thing at this time.But the time window left for him in this era is really running out.

We all know that the development and continuation of a technology requires applications and markets most.From the perspective of a latecomer, in the 60s, our research and achievements in integrated circuits did not lag behind the world.

The most important proof is that in 30, we had manufactured the first generation of lithography machines and successfully produced [-]MM wafers.

Isn't it amazing?The beginning of our chip industry is so awesome!At that time, we and Laomei were the only countries in the world with this technology.

Although our 65-type contact lithography machine at that time, it seems very simple now.But Laomei's side is like that, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones, and no one needs to laugh at anyone.

So why did you fall behind?

The main reason is that these researches and achievements have not been well transformed into industrial products.

Some people may also say that it was caused by the great storm of this era.

Some people think that it is caused by the economic system of this era.

Zhao Ye has been in this era for almost two years, and as far as he knows, these two are not the most important reasons.

If you don’t believe me, you can see that our rocket technology and nuclear technology have also experienced this era. Why haven’t they stopped developing?It's not because of these things, there is a market for them.

The strong demand for national defense has made these industries move forward steadily.

But what about the electronics industry?It's almost blank.There may be a little application in scientific research and military affairs, but these are not enough to support the development of an industry.

So what Zhao Ye wants to do most at this time is to transform electronic technology into industrial products as soon as possible.

The calculator was the first product he selected.

He believes that there is definitely a market for calculators as a gadget in this era.Whether it is in the lives of ordinary people or in industrial and agricultural production, it will play an immeasurable role.

Why?

Because the cultural level of people in this era is low!

Even in later generations, like you with your mobile phone, if you were asked to calculate a slightly more complicated number, would you turn on the calculator on your mobile phone?

As far as the academic qualifications of the judges are concerned, they all need to use such a small tool frequently.It is conceivable that in this era when many people break their fingers in addition and subtraction, how promising this thing will be in application!

Therefore, Zhao Ye judged that as long as such a small thing is taken out, then no matter what kind of storm, it will not easily destroy the fire of our electronics industry.Because everyone needs its help.

Zhao Ye's thinking has returned to the practical issue. It is impossible for him to directly take out the chips of later generations in the 70s.Because that technology is beyond the current processing level.But in this way, the calculator can't do it?
Of course not, in the current world, the prototype of the integrated circuit already exists, and Zhao Ye also clearly knows that there is already a research group in our country, but he has no idea of ​​joining it at present.Or maybe he wants to join but can't join.

So what does he need to do most now?

Come up with a chip!It doesn't need to be so advanced and complicated, as long as it can realize the four arithmetic operations.

With a computing chip, there is also a display chip, and there is also a display device.

Zhao Ye did not plan to use light-emitting transistors to form the display, but thought of one-step, and directly used the most common segment code display in later generations.It is the display screen on a calculator that we often see. With seven-segment liquid crystals, any number can be spelled out, and then there is a dot in the lower right corner of each number.

But such a small thing was first applied ten years later.

This thing is not so difficult to achieve, and the liquid crystal that can emit light is one of the keys.In addition, the processing of conductive glass is also a difficult point.

The more Zhao Ye thought about it, the thicker the paper in his hand became, until at that moment, he wanted to give up.

But it can't be done. Hearing the voices outside, Zhao Ye felt a wave of unwillingness.Such a person, using the primitive method of pulling people on their shoulders, forcibly built such a factory.What are they for?Don't you want to develop this nation and country as soon as possible so that you can live a better life in the future?Everyone is fighting for such a goal, how can he sit at home and wait for the day to make a fortune selling antiques?

Always leave something behind for this life.

I can't live my whole life again, but live the same way as the previous life!
Zhao Ye took out a large blank drawing from the space, leaned on it, and began to draw.This time, although there are still suspicions of plagiarism, he hopes that every stroke on this blueprint is done by him in this world.

In fact, he found that when he actually worked, what he thought in his heart became simpler.I just want to get the stuff out of my "brain". As for the rest, let him go.

In this way, Zhao Ye's life suddenly became regular, eating, sleeping, and drawing every day.Almost the whole world has nothing to do with him.
