Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 451 War of words
Gu Weijun never thought that the fat old man Qian Weichang could be so sore?
This sour tone seemed to indicate that once Gu Weijun confirmed his stance that he would focus on the chip and computer fields, he was ready to kick him out.
"Teacher, am I a diplomat?"

Gu Weijun immediately started to complain, "Didn't you go abroad to be a visiting scholar?"

"Didn't I bring you a bunch of the latest foreign science and technology magazines when I came back last time?"

"And France has never stopped ordering technology magazines."

The fat old man's face softened, and he thought about it. This disciple of his was to be a diplomat. And he was a good diplomat. Not long after he was stationed abroad, he discovered that the United States had such good technology in the computer field. trend, and also make full use of its own advantages.
The fat old man glanced at Gu Weijun's lower body inadvertently and coughed again, "Ahem, I want you to keep a clear mind!"

"We can't just be complacent about such a small technological discovery," shaking the report in his hand. "We still have a lot to do and a long way to go."

Gu Weijun's eyes widened slightly in surprise. Now that the fat old man has been the director of the Institute of Mechanics for several years, his level of clichés is so high?

But he still hugged the fat old man immediately, "Teacher, you are right. After I return to the United States, I will continue to keep your teachings in mind and continue to explore and discover new technologies in materials and mechanics. New Direction."

Qian Xuesen looked at the master and apprentice in front of him and suddenly felt a little bit sour, "Okay, okay, hurry up and have a meeting to discuss."

"Then, together with Wang Ganchang, Wang Daheng, Hua Luogeng, Wu Wenjun and other academic departments, I reported to the leaders again and made suggestions."

"By the way, Wei Jun, I just heard from Lan Ying that you have already been to the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, right? Chief Zhong also supports it very much?"

After receiving confirmation from Gu Weijun again, Qian Xuesen and Qian Weichang walked to the conference room and communicated in low voices, "This relay satellite proposal is very good. The thrust of our launch rocket is limited now. If we can effectively use the relay satellite as a transit site, then our satellites can play a greater role.”

“Especially in terms of secondary navigation and target confirmation of Dongfeng Express.”

At the meeting at the headquarters of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Sanlihe, Lin Lanying spoke first: "What this report talks about, to be honest, our Institute of Semiconductor is very ashamed. After so many years of development, there is still some gap between us and the US emperor."

"Fortunately, not only our Institute of Semiconductors, Comrade Gu Weijun also keenly discovered the gap, and through his observation of American imperial society, he triggered thinking about the chip and computer industry, and also guided the use of foreign funds to accelerate our domestic research s project."

"Now the upper-level leaders have agreed on the issue of using foreign funds, but!"

Lin Lanying looked around all the departments in the conference room, "But is it just a computer breakthrough? No, there is also the network issue that Comrade Gu Weijun raised again this time. This network issue covers a wider direction and the future prospects are more important. , both in the military and civilian fields!”

"So, my suggestion is that now that the upper leadership has agreed to use foreign funds to accelerate the technological development of the domestic chip and computer industry."

"We must simultaneously carry out research work related to future computer networks."

Mr. Hua Luogeng, a member of the academic department who chaired the meeting, nodded in approval, "Director Lin said it very well. We can't just see the research and development of computers themselves, but also the expansion and development based on computer applications."

"Director Zeng, does your Computer Science Institute have any suggestions for this report?"

Director Zeng of Computer Science frowned tightly, his face was solemn, and he let out a long sigh, "Let me pour some cold water on all academic departments first. Foreign countries have always blocked our computer technology. Of course, under such blocked conditions, we , and also successfully developed a high-speed computer with one million operations per second.”

"Moreover, the top leaders of the country continue to care about the development of our computer institute and have approved the use of foreign funds to accelerate research."

“However, after all, there is still a big gap between our current domestic computer technology and foreign countries. Should we first focus on improving the performance of computers, for example, after reaching the performance of so-called minicomputers abroad, and then conduct network research? "

"We have to conduct cutting-edge research based on our current situation, right? As the saying goes, a tall building rises from the ground. Without a basic and solid computer technology to support it, the so-called computer network is like a castle in the air!"

"Hmph!" Old Mrs. Lin immediately began to sneer, "Did computers with millions of operations be developed by computers alone? No, where are the computers at Peking University, Beijing Cable Power Plant, and the Ministry of Fuel and Chemical Industry? "The second generation of transistor electronic computers in our country was developed by Tsinghua University in 65! Where are you?"

Director Zeng's face immediately turned red and he became furious: "Lin Lanying! You are spitting blood!"

“Our Computer Institute conducts research work in full compliance with the tasks assigned by the state!”

"We collaborated on the 109C machine, the 156 machine, and the central control machine 151 on the ocean tracking and measurement ship!"

"We have been making contributions to the country!"

Mrs. Lin pursed her lips and snorted coldly, "Huh, didn't you say that your computer didn't make any contribution?"

“But what about groundbreaking research contributions?”

"We are the Chinese Academy of Sciences! China's highest scientific research institution! If we wait for mature technologies to be developed in universities and then use them, what's the point of keeping people like us?"

"Let me ask you something. Now that the million-operation computer developed by Peking University last year has been successfully operated, when will your computer institute develop it?"

"This year? Next year?"

"You?" Director Zeng was shaking with anger, "As long as the country gives the order, we will complete the development soon!"

"What about tens of millions of operations?"

Wang Daheng quickly stopped the two people arguing, "Stop it, stop it. It's normal to have different opinions, but don't get into unnecessary arguments."

"After all, computers require the cooperation and joint development of multiple departments, and every leap-forward technological achievement is inseparable from everyone's efforts."

"Does anyone else have any different opinions?"

The faculties shook their heads.

"If not, I suggest that we vote on this report now. Do you agree or not? How much does the minority obey? Then quickly move on to the next topic."

"Team Leader Hua?"

Hua Luogeng was talking in a low voice with Wu Wenjun, Qian Weichang, Qian Xuesen and others. The development of computers is inseparable from mathematics. After hearing Wang Daheng's suggestion, he raised his head and said, "Then let's vote by a show of hands."

In the end, the report was passed with a high vote. Basically, all academic departments agreed on the future development direction of computer networks and started research in this direction now.

"Okay, the computer network issue passed with a high vote."

"The next topic, including the last computer project and this network research project, which branch or department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences will take the lead?"
