Siheyuan: The Era of Core Generation

Chapter 99 Calculator Put into Production

"Don't worry about this, just talk about your thoughts." Professor Zhang urged.

"Okay, let's talk about the third, that is the pre-research of new technology. This is divided into two aspects. One is the research of the next generation of production equipment, and the other is the design of the next generation of computer core. The two are complementary."

After Zhao Ye finished speaking, the two professors fell into deep thought.They are not questioning Zhao Ye's ideas, but thinking about how to realize these ideas.

After all, they are just professors at a university. Zhao Ye's plan is too big, and there are too many people and property to coordinate. This cannot be done by just one school.

To be honest, this Shuguang No. [-] is still a free ride on the Northwest project. Without this project, it would be almost impossible to produce the finished product so quickly.

Zhao Ye was also troubled by this, and his idea was to take the line of national defense and foreign trade.Both of these can be of great help to his career.But now is the historical period when the two camps are opposed, and the relationship between the country and these two parties is somewhat tense. At this time, Zhao Ye feels that there may be only one national defense.In terms of foreign trade, it's not that he doesn't want to, but in this regard, he has no autonomy at all.

However, in the field of national defense, there is still a long way to go for computers of this era to play a role.

Thinking along this line of thought, Zhao Ye suddenly found himself in a misunderstanding.During this period of time, he was too focused on the personal computers of later generations.

This can't be blamed on him, who made him an ordinary person from later generations?From the moment he came into contact with computers, he was a relatively mature personal PC. When these people continued to develop "microcomputers", he couldn't help but want to make PCs for later generations.

But the reality is such a slap in the face, the entire technical level and industrial system cannot support him to engage in this thing now.

Then there is nothing he can do?Isn't his goal to engage in integrated circuits?When did you go "biased"?
So, in the relative silence of several people, Zhao Ye fell into thinking himself.

As soon as this thought was opened, it finally became clearer.Integrated circuits, or chips, are not only useful for computers, they can play a huge role in many fields.For example, automatic machine tools, rockets and missiles, aircraft avionics, communication engineering, and radar, etc., aren’t they all areas where chips can exert their capabilities?
Zhao Ye thought about which aspect he should start with. These fields were not things he was familiar with, and it would not be too much to say that he knew nothing about them.

But he doesn't understand, isn't there someone who understands sitting in front of him?

For example, Professor Ci, he is engaged in radio, focusing on radar research.There is also Professor Zhang, who is engaged in industrial automation and has a lot of research on electrification in industrial production.

Isn't this a ready-made resource!
"Professor Ci, Professor Zhang, we don't need to be too obsessed with computers. After all, this thing is a big category. Our strength is limited. I think the current focus is how to broaden the scope of application of our existing technology. "Zhao Ye said after interrupting everyone's thinking.

"Oh? How do you say it? What do you think?"

"I think, for the current Shuguang No. [-], we should step up and improve the ability of multi-processor parallel computing and the interface connected to the hard disk. As for the display and other issues, we can put it aside and let everyone Research institutes and processing plants digest the existing technology. Accumulate some experience for the next upgrade."

Zhao Ye listened for a while, and then asked Professor Ci: "Teacher, your current research direction is radar, right? We can strengthen the combination of radar and computer in this regard."

Then he turned around and asked Professor Zhang: "And Mr. Zhang, you are studying industrial automation, and we can also make a fuss about it."

"Ah? What do you mean you don't work on computers anymore? How can this work?" Professor Ci was the first to quit, and he made up his mind to change his major.Now Zhao Ye told him not to play, isn't this a scam!

"Teacher, it's not that we don't have computers anymore, but we want to expand the application fields of computers, such as radar, machine tools, etc." Zhao Ye explained patiently.

"Computer and radar? How do you get on with this?" Professor Ci was a little confused. What's the similarity?

"Professor Ci, I think this idea is very good. I don't know much about radar, but I think it's very interesting to use CNC machine tools!" Professor Zhang said.

"Huh? I remember that Shuimu University built an X53K1 a few years ago? Maybe our computer can be combined with CNC machine tools." After Professor Zhang's reminder, Professor Ci also remembered the CNC machine tool equipment of Shuimu University. up.

"Yes, that's what I mean. I think this can be combined with that side. In my opinion, the combination of the two will definitely bring about a different effect." Professor Zhang also said confidently.

Indeed, he is confident that he also did some assistance work during the development of that CNC machine tool.It's just that the practicability of that machine tool is a bit poor, and the production efficiency is not as good as that of manual operation, so it has no promotion value.But what if it is combined with a computer?Will there be any unexpected effects?At least the computing power of the computer is much stronger than the control system of the analog circuit they built.

Listening to the discussion between the two, Zhao Ye became even more excited. This opened up a new way of thinking. Zhao Ye also rang at this time. So in that world, didn't computers start with the single-chip microcomputer in industrial production?You can also go this way.

Especially after a few years, most factory production personnel will not be stable, and senior technicians will become increasingly scarce.At this time, isn't it time for precision CNC machine tools to show their talents?

Do it when you think of it!

On the second day after their talk, Zhao Ye walked into Director Yang's office.

"Huh? You're here, Yezi? I was looking for you!" Director Yang immediately said when he saw Zhao Ye walk into his office.

"Ah? Master, what do you want me to do? I also have something to ask you for!" Zhao Ye walked to the opposite of Director Yang's office and sat down on the chair.

"That's right. I just received a task from the first-level department today, asking us to join hands with the factory to design and produce a production line for your calculator. Time is very tight. You should put the things you are working on in the past few days. Help me carry out this task." Factory Manager Yang said unceremoniously to arrange the task for Zhao Ye.

"Ah?" Zhao Ye was so surprised, it was too sudden.

"Master, why are the superiors in such a hurry to produce this? This thing can't be produced in a short while."

"This is a task and an order. No matter how difficult it is, we have to take it down. Don't complain!" Director Yang knows Zhao Ye's character. If you don't wind up things that he is not interested in, he will Too lazy to move.

"No, Master, I just want to ask, why are you in such a hurry? Is it..." Zhao Ye made a very subtle gesture and gestured towards Director Yang.

"Well, you guessed right, but you must keep it secret. The staff of our country on Hong Kong Island announced the sample of this calculator to the outside world, which is very popular. So the superior instructed us to come up with the production line as soon as possible, and promptly produced this calculator."

"Master, but in this state, which country can we export to? Aren't all countries in the world against us now?"

"What are you talking about? You are saying that we seem to have no friends! Our country still has many international friends. Besides, don't inquire about those who shouldn't, and you are not allowed to cock your tail!" Director Yang said seriously to Zhao ye.

"No, no, I'm just a little surprised, can we still export it now?" Zhao Ye asked knowingly.

"It's so strange. You are still a college student. You don't pay attention to this bit of news? Not to mention this year, even last year, our total import and export volume exceeded 90 billion. How come your mouth, our country has become Are you alone? Your political study should be strengthened!"

"Ah! Hehe, yes, yes, master, it is a good thing to be able to export for foreign exchange, and it can also buy more technical equipment that the country needs!" Zhao Ye is really happy now, he knows, this is her last year. The matter that Han's mother asked him has made progress now.

That’s what it is. If there are good things, of course they have to be sold, and they are not things related to the national economy and the people’s livelihood. Such valuable things need to be exported more, and it’s enough to harvest a wave of capitalist leeks.

"What do you want from me?" Factory Manager Yang was drooling seeing Zhao Ye laughing, so he interrupted him and asked.

"Oh, that's it. Now I want to work with Mizuki University on CNC machine tools, and I want to report to you first."

"CNC machine tool? Is it the one made by Jing Yiji?" Director Yang asked in confusion.

"Huh? Jingyiji? I don't know, I just know that Shuimu University did it." Zhao Ye also answered doubtfully.

"Well, that's right, it's the one made by Beijing Yiji. Why do you want to make machinery all of a sudden? Don't you want to make electronics?" Director Yang responded to Zhao Ye's way of doing things like a hammer and a stick. A bit pessimistic.

"Master, I'm just working on electronics. To a large extent, this CNC machine tool is also operated by our computer. Of course, the computer is only a part of it. However, it is also a very important part, otherwise it would not be called CNC machine tool. The machine tool is gone, isn't it?"

"Oh, I don't know much about this. If you want to do it, you can ask your teacher, but you can't delay the tasks of our factory. The most important thing now is to design the production line of the finalized calculator as soon as possible. The rest is up to you." Director Yang finally concluded.

"Yes, Master, I promise to complete the task!" Zhao Ye stood at attention and answered loudly, then sat down again, and said to Director Yang: "Master, in fact, we have completed the preliminary design for the production line of this calculator. , We can start work after the relevant units have finished their demonstrations."

"Hahaha, you kid, I knew you were already prepared!" Director Yang laughed happily.
