Siheyuan: The Era of Core Generation

Chapter 77 The advent of the calculator 2
"Calculator?" The three people in the finance department were all taken aback. It sounded like it was used for calculation, but they had never seen it before!
"Is this... equivalent to an abacus?" Sister Zhang, the head of the finance section, asked speculatively.

"You can think of it as an electronic abacus." Zhao Ye said, plugged in the calculator and turned it on.

"Drip!" A not-so-loud sound reminded everyone that this is an electronic product.Otherwise there would be no such electronic sound.

All of a sudden, the heads of several people came together.

On a strip of glass, a number "0" has already appeared, and it's shiny and pretty.

Looking at the bottom, there are four rows of buttons, a total of five rows.But in the fourth row are three buttons, and the fifth row has only one long button.

There are ten numbers from 0 to 9, a dot, four symbols of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, a button for "clear", and a big = sign.

They are engaged in finance and are naturally more sensitive to numbers.Although it was the first time they saw this thing, they also realized that it was really a new type of abacus as the factory manager said.

Zhao Ye demonstrated it to them a few times. This thing is deadly simple, and they have mastered how to operate it after watching it a couple of times.

Factory Manager Yang saw everyone's expressions of eagerness to try, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhang, I want to give you an important task, which is to test the accuracy of this thing. You are like this, these days you use this thing to turn the past The data is being calculated again to see if it is consistent with the previous data!"

"Director Yang, this electronic abacus is so easy to use, we must test it as soon as possible. But this test is over, if there is no problem, this has to be left to our finance department!" Section Chief Zhang began to ask for benefits, and this is how it is in this era , every leader has to fight for his own department, otherwise he is not a qualified leader.

"Hahaha, you have to ask Yezi about this, he made things up, I can't be the master!" Director Yang said with a big laugh.

"Oh, who doesn't know that Yezi is your apprentice. You, a master, can't make the decision. Who will believe you if you tell me!"

"Hahahaha" Factory Manager Yang laughed again, and this statement became more and more popular with him.

Zhao Ye could see it, he couldn't embarrass the factory manager, right!Hastily said: "No problem, no problem, this will be left in the Finance Department from now on. Section Chief Zhang, just test it!"

"Eh! Yezi, you left this here, what should we do when we report to the higher authorities? There must be a prototype, right?" Seeing that Zhao Ye really agreed, Director Yang began to worry about the reporting. .

"Hey, factory manager, I've thought of this a long time ago. Actually, I made five sets, but I didn't dare to show them all. Otherwise, I have to take one away for Professor Ci. This is the result of our factory, so we can't give it all to the school. Take it away!" Zhao Ye took it for granted, but in fact he made five sets, four of which are his space replicas.

Rubbing things with hands is fun for the first time, but rubbing the same thing again is suffering.

Zhao Ye pointed to a line of words at the bottom of the calculator screen and said: "Look, factory manager, this HZ-1 is the model of our calculator, and the one below it is the production number: 00001. It means that this is our first one, No. [-] machine. Of course this will stay in our factory.”

"Hahaha, this one is good, and this one can be exhibited in the future!" Director Yang was very happy, thinking about decades later.

But he frowned again: "This letter is not good, this person doesn't know what it means."

"Director, HZ, Chinese pinyin, the abbreviation of Hong Rolling, which means Red Star Steel Rolling Factory!" Zhao Ye quickly explained.

"Well, it's good, it's good, but it's not as intuitive as Chinese characters. Like you, you will change Chinese characters when it's officially produced." Director Yang instinctively doesn't like letters.However, "Red Roll" is not bad.

"Huh? Red Roll? Director Yang, that's a good name!" said Section Chief Zhang beside him, "It's so simple and intuitive that I don't even know which factory it is called Red Star. Hong Roll sounds like it's something from our Red Star Steel Rolling Factory! This is good!"

Sister Zhang's collective sense of honor is not bad at all, and there are not too many factories called Red Star now!But the rolling mill called Hongxing is the only one in the whole country, and there is no other semicolon.

"Well, it's not bad. In this way, we will hold a factory committee meeting later to discuss and decide collectively." Director Yang is also quite satisfied with the name.But no matter how satisfied you are, things like names have to be decided collectively.

Just like that, the things were left in the finance department, and Zhao Ye pretended to go back and brought back two identical calculators.

It's just that the numbers have become 0002 and 0005.

The factory committee meeting was held in the afternoon.As soon as things were put out, the response was huge.

What's this?This is a high-tech thing!Not to mention that it is a high technology in China, even if it is put in the world, it is the only one!

Of course, this is what Zhao Ye said, but everyone is sure of one thing. You may not know things in the world, but things in China are clear!
They have never heard of such a product, at least the honor of number one in the country cannot be lost.

No. [-] in the country, this is fine!In this "year of great contention", the first honor is the best.

Besides, this is not "satellite release"!Other factories just wanted to copy one, but he couldn't find the parts to save it!Didn’t you hear Yezi’s introduction? There are at least 40 world’s first technologies in it!
Let's not talk about forty items, fourteen items are enough for others to chase for a while.

A "huge" calculator was passed around the venue.Because the operation is extremely simple, everyone can try it out.

The factory manager and Yezi had already thought about the name, and it was basically a formality at the meeting.Unless you want to specifically avoid the factory manager, no one is so discreet.

The "Red Rolling" brand calculator has officially become a new product of Hongxing Steel Rolling Works-United Experimental Factory!This is of great significance in the history of the country's first joint pilot plant established more than half a year ago.

This proves that the combination of universities and excellent companies is somewhat creative.It is a victory for leadership decision-making, and it is also a victory for the majority of scientists and workers!

This has created a new model of scientific progress in the country, no matter how high it is, the significance is huge.

The meeting passed a resolution, and the factory committee reported the good news to the Ministry of Machinery Industry and the National Science Committee!

The factory committee of the joint factory is very high. He not only has members from the rolling mill, but also representatives from two top universities!

But in the end, the three companies have their own emphasis. Things like announcing the good news are still handed over to the people at the Red Star Rolling Mill. The main energy of the two universities is still put on this simple calculator, and the various technologies used superior.

The representative of Mizuki University, his eyes are red at this moment!Because this thing has nothing to do with my school!How can this work?

As soon as the meeting was over, the representative hurried back to his school.Then he immediately reported to the principal.

As the principal of a university, although most of the work is administrative, he still has basic scientific literacy.As soon as he heard it, he understood that this was the most cutting-edge integrated circuit technology in the world.

The principal was more concerned than this representative, and immediately summoned professors from the Department of Physics and Department of Mathematics for a meeting.

When the professors heard that someone had made such an awesome thing in front of their house without making a sound, why did they not believe it?And the people next door are involved, so this is even more difficult to imagine. The turmoil on their side is the clearest here. I haven't heard of any great sage who is studying this.

But believe it or not, now that the joint factory has products, what else is there to discuss?It is reasonable to find out in the past.So, a dozen or so people here rushed to the joint factory.

They have already set off here, and the capital university is also not peaceful.Many professors from the Department of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics all showed expressions of disbelief at this little machine on their desks.

You can't see anything from the outside, it's nothing more than a few buttons and a small display.But it was something like this that shocked everyone.

How is this display made?Many people showed curious looks.Many people in the physics department here have heard of light-emitting transistors, but they have never seen the real thing.Looking at the segment code display in front of me, it doesn't look like a transistor no matter what.

Everyone is engaged in this, even if the direction may be different, the basic cognitive ability is still not low.

Seeing everyone's inquisitive eyes, Professor Ci glanced at the principal, saw the other party smiling and nodding, and then introduced to everyone.

The more I listened, the more frightened I became!The more I listen, the more excited I get!
Others don't know what these technologies represent, but they still know.

After all, on the front line of science, the world's cutting-edge topics are more or less being tracked.Even if I can't do relevant experiments and verifications because of various problems, at least the knowledge still exists.

The papers written by Professor Ci these days are also passed on to various professors. The process and results of each research have fascinated everyone.

This is definitely the top of the world.At least, in the public information, I have not seen any country with such technology.In other words, it has reached such a technical height.

This calculator, numbered 0002, failed to escape the fate of being disassembled by everyone.Taking apart something fun is almost a common hobby of most men, regardless of age.

After taking it apart and seeing the contents inside, people couldn't sit still anymore.This is the legendary integrated circuit!Isn't it amazing that it was made by a freshman student?
For a while, the drawings and papers brought by Professor Ci became more popular.

The professors disassembled, read, and researched, and finally confirmed that this is the most sophisticated integrated circuit in our country.This can almost represent the best processing technology and research level in our country.

Of course, the design level of the mainframe computer is higher, but in the so-called microelectronics field, this is the highest, not one of them.And it was produced by Capital University, so this must be made clear.
