Siheyuan: The Era of Core Generation

Chapter 76 The Invention of the Calculator

Exams are held as scheduled and the school will not change the exam date because a student has not had time to study.

Even if there is something special about this student, there will be no exception.

Fortunately, Zhao Ye has his own method, and if he deals with it casually, his grades should not be too bad.However, it is estimated that the possibility of taking the first test has decreased. It used to be 90.00%, but now it may become [-]%?
But it doesn't matter, he didn't go to school for school's sake.He came to school to work on integrated circuits.

Now, he has embarked on a journey in this regard, as long as he has this academic background as a cover.Whether the grades are good or bad, he no longer cares so much about it.

In the past few days of the exam, Professor Ci has not been idle all day. Zhao Ye's "laboratory" has been occupied by Professor Ci. For convenience, he has set up another "laboratory" of his own in the room next to Zhao Ye's. .

In fact, it was very simple. I got a few tables and chairs.The equipment was moved from Zhao Ye, and the materials were brought from the school and Zhao Ye.

There is also a "disciple and grandson" as an assistant, everything is so natural.

In a few days, he thoroughly figured out the technical method of this integrated circuit.

Then what to do?

write thesis.

Paper after paper!

However, scientists in this era have a basic conscience.Professor Ci gave Zhao Ye the place to sign all papers.

At most, under the signature, I left myself a position as an instructor.

On the one hand, such student papers originally need to be signed by the instructor.Another important thing about this thesis is that Professor Buci was careless. This is not only an honor, but also a responsibility.

Once something goes wrong with this thesis, Professor Ci is the first person responsible.

But he was the one who wrote the thesis in the first place, so Zhao Ye can't be blamed when the time comes.The reason why Zhao Ye was allowed to sign it under such circumstances is the conscience of scholars.He can't take over the students' scientific research results!

After the thesis was finished, he showed it to Zhao Ye to read, and if there were some inaccurate or unclear statements, the two of them would revise and confirm.

In this way, all kinds of small months have passed.

Zhao Ye also completed the prototype of his calculator.

This calculator made by Zhao Ye's hands, in the eyes of future generations, it is nothing but rubbish!

The first is the size, super big!
How big is it?The width is fifteen centimeters and the length is twenty-four centimeters.

That's not counting, the most important thing is the thickness, which is almost six centimeters thick.When in use, four AA batteries need to be installed.In this way, the continuous use time is only more than 50 hours.

For this reason, Zhao Ye also designed a power socket at the suggestion of Professor Ci.In this way, in a fixed place, the indoor power supply can also be used for power supply.

Only in this way, there is a need to add a connected transformer.Just like the previous laptop power supply.

Once the thing was ready, Professor Ci fell in love with it as soon as he used it.This small thing can almost represent the most advanced level of microelectronics in the world!
The idea of ​​microelectronics was brought up by Zhao Ye.Professor Ci sounded very apt, so he used this term in his papers and reports.

After the calculator was made, Professor Ci seemed impatient.He immediately wanted to take this "toy" to show off to his friends.

Wealth and honor do not return home like brocade clothes walking at night!It's the same feeling when you have a new technology without showing off to your peers.

Zhao Ye did not agree with life and death, why should he be given a time to copy and paste!
In the end, Zhao Ye made an excuse that he had to report this matter to the factory manager anyway, they couldn't come up with something new here, and the factory manager didn't know about it, right?

How do you say that he is still paid here? No, so he belongs to the rolling mill and must be responsible for the rolling mill!

Professor Ci is helpless, thinking about it, it really is like this!I can only let Zhao Ye hurry to report to the factory manager. He also brought the paper and went back to school first.

Zhao Ye ran to the factory office to make a phone call to confirm the whereabouts of Director Yang.Before he went to the factory, he found out that Director Yang was working in the workshop at this time!

This is a characteristic of this era. All leading cadres don't spend all day in the office.

Even a leader like the factory manager has to work in the workshop every day!
When Zhao Ye saw Director Yang, he was holding a welding torch, where was he poking his ass to deal with a big iron lump.

Zhao Ye didn't dare to disturb him, but instead worked as an assistant.

Factory Manager Yang found that someone was helping him again, so he moved the welding cap away. Seeing that it was Zhao Ye, he continued to do the work in hand.

He didn't put down the welding cap and torch until the workpiece was finished, and signaled Zhao Ye to follow him.

The workshop is not a place to talk. The noise here is very loud. Sometimes, two people want to communicate and almost have to shout in each other's ears.

When he came to an office in the workshop, Zhao Ye quickly poured water for Director Yang.

"You boy, why are you willing to leave the workshop? Don't tinker with your invention?" Director Yang asked Zhao Ye after drinking the tea brought by Zhao Ye with peace of mind.

He knew Zhao Ye's whereabouts like the back of his hand.Not to mention that there is Ma Hua who has to report to him all day long, even the guards and security department have people who are paying attention to Zhao Ye's actions.

Of course, this was specially arranged by him, the factory manager.

"Hey, Uncle Yang, I have already tinkered with that thing! Didn't I invite you to take a look!" Zhao Ye also wanted to show off.

"Oh? What's so interesting about it? It's worth a great talent like you to invite me in person?" Director Yang teased Zhao Ye. He was already satisfied with this Zhao Ye and couldn't be more satisfied. He said it was the attitude of a master looking at his apprentice , not at all.

This is the power of gossip.Rumors spread so much that even the parties believed it.

"Uncle Yang, I made a calculator, a small machine that can do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division by yourself." Zhao Ye said in embarrassment. Unexpectedly, Director Yang was neither curious nor surprised at all!

He raised his leg, rubbed his wrist again, changed his posture, and then asked Zhao Ye, "Is that the kind of hand-cranked computer? I've seen that thing before, and it doesn't work!"

Factory Manager Yang said it as a matter of course, in his mind, Zhao Ye's tinkering with this thing can't be said to be not doing his job properly, anyway, he feels that he is overqualified.If I had known that he would tinker with such a thing again, I might as well drive him back to school!No matter how bad it is, it's okay to pull it to the workshop!
It's better than making a toy by himself!

Yes, in the eyes of Director Yang, the handheld computer is just a toy.He is a factory manager and a front-line worker. What he sees is not the sophistication of design, nor the greatness of the combination of mathematics and machinery.

What he values ​​is practicality!That thing is really no faster than a planner!An abacus of one yuan and eighty cents can get things done, is it worth spending so much time and energy to make another machine?

How did Zhao Ye think that the first thing that Director Yang thought of was that thing!
He quickly changed Director Yang's thoughts and said: "What I made is not that kind of junk, but an electronic calculator that can automatically calculate the number by pressing a button!"

"Electronic calculator?" Director Yang frowned and thought about it, but he had never heard of such a thing.

"Well, I made it with my own hands. Dare I say, this is the only one in the world! Haven't you seen Professor Ci staying here these days? He's even interested, isn't it a good thing?"

"Huh? That's true!" Director Yang nodded, but couldn't sit still any longer, and dragged Zhao Ye to have a look.

Zhao Ye was also happy, so he naturally led the way.

After arriving at Zhao Ye's "laboratory", Director Yang saw Ma Hua sitting at the door.

"Why are you sitting here during working hours?" Director Yang said a little unhappy.

"Uncle, I asked him to guard here. You don't know, Professor Ci wants to take away the prototype I made. How can this be done? After all, it was made by our factory, right? But he is my teacher. , I can only let you take a look at it first. Then I sent him away. But I was also afraid that he would kill the carbine again, so I let Ma Hua stay here." Zhao Ye explained quickly.

"Well, well done!" Director Yang has been the factory director for many years. As a qualified factory director, how could he not have the consciousness to defend the "fruit of victory"?In this regard, it has nothing to do with character, it is the honor of the factory, and it must be guarded!

Without goingssip, Director Yang walked straight into Zhao Ye's three-acre land.I also saw Zhao Ye's precious thing.

After a simple test, Director Yang's eyes lit up!This is a good thing!
Look at this smooth speed, "exquisite" appearance, good stuff, really good stuff!

"No, this can't be placed here!" Director Yang immediately felt that Zhao Ye's place was not safe.

He is a student of Capital University, and his school wanted to take it back for a look, but Zhao Ye couldn't bear it.

After thinking about it for a while, Director Yang said, "Well, let's let those people from the finance department try it out, just to help test whether the calculation is accurate, what do you think?"

"Hey! Good idea! There are guards over there! Don't worry about losing it. Kill two birds with one stone!" Zhao Ye clapped his hands and said.

The two looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

Together with the power supply, Zhao Ye and Director Yang carried the items to the Finance Department.

The finance department of this joint factory is not too big, with only three staff members.However, as a factory, the workload is still not small.The three of them were also busy.

But even if he is busy, the factory manager has to receive him when he comes.

Looking at Zhao Ye who was following behind, the finance section chief here couldn't understand the purpose of their "teacher-student" pair.

"Director, do you have any tasks for us when you come here today? If there is anything wrong, just find someone to call me!"

"Hahaha, Big Sister Zhang, I brought you a good thing today!" As he spoke, he motioned for Zhao Ye to put the things he was carrying on the desk of the Finance Department.

"What is this?" Section Chief Zhang asked curiously, having never seen this thing before.

"Calculator." Zhao Ye and Director Yang said in unison.
