The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

June 1, 1962, Children's Day.

It’s a holiday for the two little ones, Chen Wei and Chen Si. The two children are very happy because they went out again today.

Today Chen Guohua and his family went to the Summer Palace to enjoy the cool weather.

It’s already very hot in Beijing in June, so you have to prepare a towel when you go out.

The two children like to be held by their father because their father is cooler.

The so-called coolness is only relative to their mother, but Chen Guohua occasionally takes out a few small pieces of ice from the space, puts it in his hand, and waits silently for it to melt.

It’s summer anyway, so sweating is normal.

Chen Guohua only needs to pay attention to Long Kanghou. If he is not discovered by the latter, there will be no problem.

After all, we are here in the Summer Palace, and there are many citizens coming here, but Chen Guohua and the others always go to places with fewer people.

What's more, in summer, there are only a few people who go out to play.

Maybe it's a big festival like the Spring Festival, or maybe it's the so-called Golden Week in later generations, and there will be such lively scenes.

If you think about it carefully, you won't find it strange. After all, the current population of the capital is more than six million people.

In the capital city of later generations, there were tens of millions of people, and the gap was huge.

"It's a good death for a man like Kennedy."

By the lake, Chen Lihua was still discussing this matter.

Upon hearing this, Chen Guohua shook his head and smiled, but did not express his opinion.

It has been half a month since Kennedy passed away, but when the news came back to the capital, time must have been much slower.

If it were that time and space in later generations, such shocking news would have spread throughout the mainland immediately on the other side of the Pacific.

For example, Kobe Bryant.

At that time, Chen Guohua happened to be on the Luya side of Maple Leaf Country, planning to return to China for the Spring Festival later, but he received the news that day.

And what’s interesting is that he only found out about this message when he saw it while browsing Moments.

You must know that it was midnight in the mainland at that time. Even if there were so many night owls, it was really scary.

But in this time and space, it is normal for the capital to receive news only after a few days or even a week.

People's Daily, Youth Daily and Women's Daily all reported this incident.

What was particularly interesting was that there were many people playing gongs and drums at that time, with extremely happy smiles on their faces.

The leader Qiu Zongyue looked a little serious at that time, and so did Chen Guohua.

The reason is also very simple. With Kennedy gone, no one can tell what difference the new Lyndon Johnson will make.

As for the fact that Kennedy is gone, Chen Guohua and others are not concerned about it.

People cannot be resurrected after death, not to mention that Chen Guohua and the other party have different positions.

"It's hard to say whether his death is good or bad." Chen Gonglu shook his head and then looked at Chen Guohua and said:

"Guohua, what do you think?"

Yun Wanchang couldn't help but look at him when she heard this, and asked strangely:

"That's right, Guohua, I see that you haven't expressed any opinions. Are you still thinking about your work?"

When he gets home, Chen Guohua rarely participates in such topics, but if it is other topics, he will participate.

Of course, he also had a lot of things to do, and after returning home, he spent more time on his two children and Yu Moli, but he really had very little time to participate in these topics.

Yu Moli is busy studying. After all, she will be a senior in the second half of this year and will have an internship in her fifth year next year.

The Department of Medicine is also a five-year program, just like other medical majors.

In addition, she usually needs to study Chinese medicine, and her studies are more important, so naturally she is less involved in these topics.

"Mom, no, I don't have any opinions on these things."

Chen Guohua shook his head and responded, then lowered his head and started teasing the child in his arms.

The child was holding his hand, because there was still a small piece of ice in his hand, which was very cool.

After hearing his answer, the family didn't pay attention and started chatting among themselves.

In fact, this is what ordinary people are like, just a few gossips. For them, this matter itself will not affect them.

Anyway, this is a time of peace, so there is only a few nonsense words.

The weekend passed quickly.

Early that morning, Chen Guohua had just sent Yu Moli to the school, but he was stopped by a teacher with the same name.

"Professor Chen, Director Xu calls you to the office."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Chen."

Chen Guohua smiled and nodded at the other party, and the other party turned and left.

Yu Moli covered his mouth and snickered, "Brother Guohua, that is the teacher with the same name as you, right?"

"Yeah!" Chen Guohua smiled helplessly at her, and then waved goodbye to her.

In the Teaching and Research Office of the Department of Computational Mathematics, Xu Xianyu was still busy with his own affairs when Chen Guohua arrived.

"Good morning, Lao Xu, why are you so busy?"

It's rare to be so busy early in the morning.

Xu Xianyu looked up and saw it was him, and said in surprise:

"Professor Chen, congratulations"

Chen Guohua was immediately confused by the lackluster congratulations.

However, Lao Xu had already put down what he was doing, left the office with Chen Guohua, and went straight to the mathematics department.

On the way, Lao Xu said directly that he was busy with final exams now.

Also, there are still too few computers at Peking University and they are not enough.

In and out of words, I hope Chen Guohua can help. After all, he is a student who graduated from the Department of Mathematics and Computing. Now he is so promising, so why not repay the school?

Regarding this matter, Chen Guohua simply pretended to be dead.

Where does he have money?

If it's technical, it doesn't matter, he can help directly.

But if it's about computers, he really can't help.

Because manufacturing computers requires money, and it is impossible for him to directly give the computers from Zhenhua Research Institute to Peking University.

But now that Lao Xu has spoken, Chen Guohua feels that he can mention something to Qiu Zongyue another day.

It is already 1962, and universities like Peking University cannot be equipped with multimedia computer rooms, but there is still no problem in equipping a few more computers, right?

You know, in the past two years, Zhenhua Research Institute has recruited many college students.

Peking University, in particular, has been stripped of so much by Chen Guohua that it is about to be stripped bare.

"This is what you said, I didn't force you."

After hearing Chen Guohua's words, Xu Xianyu immediately responded.

Seeing the joy on the latter's face, Chen Guohua was helpless:

"Old Xu, you were not like this before."

"Don't worry about what I was like before. Anyway, remember to get more computers for our department."

Xu Xianyu shook his head and settled the matter directly:

"We don't pick anything. A computer with a speed of tens of millions of calculations is no problem."

When Chen Guohua heard this, he rolled his eyes: "Old Xu, why don't you choose?"

"Don't worry about this, it's settled anyway."

While the two were talking, they quickly arrived at the mathematics department and walked directly into the office.

There were already many people inside, including Duan Xuefu and Erdesh.

However, Chen Guohua was shocked when he saw that Wanioko was still there.

Good guy, after a trip to Stockholm, she didn't follow Gelfand and the others back to Moscow?

It’s just that!

No, in addition to Erdos and Vanioco, Davenport, Klaus Friedrich, Selberg, Homandel and Eugenio Karabi are also back. .

magical!

Eugenio Calabi has a family in North America. He didn't go back?

Chen Guohua even saw a few unfamiliar faces, foreigners he had never seen before.

Before he could speak, Erdesh and the others had already surrounded him.

"Congratulations, Professor Chen, you won the Fields Medal awarded by this International Congress of Mathematicians."

Chen Guohua suddenly showed a surprised expression after hearing Erdesh's words, as well as the medals, bonuses and other things handed over.

Hey, did they really give it to me?

You know, he thought that if he didn't go to Stockholm this time, people like Veblen would interfere with it and interfere with the conference to prevent him from winning the Fields Medal.

And if there is no way to win the Fields Medal this time, then the next time you want to win such an award will only be after the 1970s.

But according to the actual situation of the original time and space, the only time to participate in the International Congress of Mathematicians is in 1983.

By 1983, Chen Guohua was already over forty years old. Even if he had other outstanding mathematical achievements, he would not be able to win the Fields Medal.

So, this is his only chance to win the Fields Medal.

I didn't expect to actually get it.

When he held the medal in his hand, Chen Guohua suddenly smiled in his heart.

Because he figured it out, Poincaré conjectured that this mathematical problem was too difficult, and Poincaré himself was a great mathematician in the nineteenth century.

Chen Guohua himself was able to break this conjecture, which in itself speaks volumes.

At such a moment, if Veblen and others interfere, more mathematicians will definitely be pushed to Moscow.

In this case, the gain outweighs the loss!

And Bertrand Russell and others will definitely stop Veblen, and even Nevinlinna, the chairman of this conference, will not accept such an arrangement.

Even if Veblen used Kennedy to suppress them, it would be useless.

Mathematics is pure and should not be subject to such outside interference.

Erdesh and others all applauded and cheered, looking at Chen Guohua with smiles on their faces. Everyone felt that he deserved the honor.

Then they shared what they gained from the conference and some things they liked to see.

how to say?

It’s hard to describe the world of mathematics today!

There is too much tension between Moscow and New York.

Centrist mathematicians in London, Paris, Berlin and other places all regard themselves as peacemakers.

But fortunately, they all speak with mathematics instead of fists.

It’s quite difficult to do anyway.

After chatting for a while, Chen Guohua happily returned to Zhenhua Research Institute with the medal.

The bonus is still quite large, it is 1,500 Canadian dollars.

The exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the US dollar is almost the same, so it can be regarded as a foreign currency of 1,500 US dollars.

Of course, Chen Guohua was very happy with the money, and the medal was also very good.

The Fields Medal is made of 14K gold. The portrait on the front of the medal is Archimedes, and the text is in Latin, which translates to 'Beyond human limits, master the universe'.

Yes, master the universe!

It’s so cool!

The pattern on the back of the medal is the geometric figure on Archimedes' tombstone: a cylinder circumscribing a ball, and the text is still in Latin.

Translated, it means 'mathematicians from all over the world gather to honor important contributions to knowledge'.

Speaking of the origin of the Fields Medal, it has a lot to do with the Nobel Prize.

When the Nobel Prize was established, there was no mathematics prize at all.

The specific reason is that there is a rumor that Nobel once had a feud with the then Swedish mathematics master Mita Levler due to personal emotional issues, and then he did not establish a mathematics prize.

However, in fact, as a leader in the scientific community at the time, Mita Levler actively participated in the work related to the Nobel Prize.

It was precisely because of Mita Levler's strong recommendation that the Nobel Prize was awarded to the first theoretical physicist Lorenz and the first woman to win the Nobel Prize Marie Curie.

Later, as the Nobel Prize became famous, many people in the mathematics community hoped to establish an award similar to the Nobel Prize, or directly let the Nobel Prize establish a mathematics prize.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

Later, the International Congress of Mathematicians began to be held. This conference was held in Toronto in 1924. The chairman was Fields, a mathematician from Maple Leaf Country.

Fields was educated in America and spent ten years studying in Gaul and West Germany, so he had good relationships with many European mathematicians.

With his impetus, the Fields Medal was established.

Of course, the Fields Medal was only established in 1932, but Fields himself unfortunately died of illness one month before the International Congress of Mathematicians that year.

Witnessed by Hinch, the conference secretary at the time, a portion of the Fields Medal's own estate, approximately CAD 47,000, was donated to the Medal Fund.

At that time, Fields called the medal the 'International Medal for Outstanding Discovery in Mathematics', but at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 193, it was finally named the Fields Medal.

After Chen Guohua returned to Zhenhua Research Institute, he happened to see Qiu Zongyue and told him about it.

"Leader, I just received an award here, which is nearly 1,500 Canadian dollars. The country must be short of foreign exchange right now. Although my little money is not much, it adds up to a lot."

What he meant was to convert the money into RMB. After all, he really didn't need the money.

Rather than putting it in space, it is better to change it into RMB and play its role at least.

As for after the 1980s?

Haha, at that time, if Chen Guohua needs foreign exchange to go abroad, the state will definitely pay for it.

What's more, going abroad in the 1980s?

Also the scoring situation.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Guohua does not think there is any benefit in going abroad.

"What are you doing with this little money?" Qiu Zongyue smiled and said:

"Congratulations, you won this Fields Medal. I've heard that this award is equivalent to the Nobel Prize."

Regarding this honor, Chen Guohua had already won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award in the Mainland.

So of course there is nothing to say now.

At Chen Guohua's insistence, Qiu Zongyue took the money and said he would help him exchange it for RMB.

As for the two medals, although they were made of gold, Chen Guohua had no intention of handing them over.

This is honor, not gold.

Qiu Zongyue has no use for it, or the higher-ups don't like him either.

Medals don't weigh hundreds of tons. How much can a medal weigh?

In fact, only Chen Guohua values ​​​​the Fields Medal, and others do not value it too much.

Because 66 years ago, the Fields Medal did not have the status of the 'highest prize in mathematics'.

Even so, Chen Guohua himself was quite happy. After all, the money and medals were all for nothing.

After Qiu Zongyue put the money away, Chen Guohua mentioned again about the computers provided by universities such as Peking University.

At the same time, he also said that Zhenhua Research Institute also needs to add one hundred more computers.

When he heard what he said before, Qiu Zongyue's expression was quite normal. After all, this could be discussed with other departments.

Anyway, just let the education department worry.

But what Chen Guohua said next made Qiu Zongyue couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth:

"Don't your Zhenhua Research Institute already have more than a hundred computers? Why do you want to continue to add more computers?"

Even the landlords don't have enough food to spare, not to mention that the Zhenhua Research Institute is so good at manufacturing?

Good guy, several projects cost a lot of money, and now I have a hundred computers in my mouth, hiss!

Just thinking about it, Qiu Zongyue suddenly felt like his head was going to explode.

Chen Guohua shook his head and explained:

"Leader, you just think that we already have so many computers and we don't need more computers at all, no?"

"This is a completely wrong perception. Many projects cannot do without computers."

"I'm not doing this to satisfy my own ideas or some vanity."

In fact, he has wanted to add computers for a long time, but he has never had the right opportunity.

Now is a very suitable opportunity.

Listening to Chen Guohua's statement about the auxiliary role of computers in various technical projects, Qiu Zongyue couldn't tell whether what the former said was true or false.

Seeing Chen Guohua's serious expression, Qiu Zongyue sighed again.

Forget it, let’s apply to the leader.

In fact, the cost of manufacturing computers now is much lower than before.

However, even if the cost is reduced, there is still a lot of cost, not to mention the investment that Zhenhua Research Institute has always made.

Seeing that the leader agreed, Chen Guohua immediately gave him a thumbs up and said:

"Leader, please believe me, these investments will definitely not be wasted. There will definitely be greater returns in the future."

Qiu Zongyue said helplessly:

"I don't expect much in return. I just hope you won't open your mouth so much next time. My old bones really can't stand your torment like this."

The topic ended here, Qiu Zongyue talked about the current situation abroad.

IBM is still struggling. There is not much market for imitation calculators anymore. Their prices have dropped to more than 300 US dollars, which is almost the same as their cost price.

Only at this price can these calculators still have some market. But even so, under the encirclement and interception of Huayue Calculator, IBM's defeat in this war was certain.

Unless they can also reduce production costs, there is basically no possibility of turning the situation around.

However, Zhang Zhongmou is still involved in the lawsuit, and Texas Instruments does not intend to let Zhang Zhongmou go.

A lot of things happened recently that made Frazier very angry.

Although Lyndon Johnson became class president, these had little to do with Texas Instruments.

What's more, normal competition between enterprises is the norm in North America.

Excessive intervention will only cause dissatisfaction from other capitals.

Therefore, without the power and wealth to cover the sky with one hand, step by step is the best choice.

You know, wasn't the Mobil Trust also torn apart?

The Rockefeller family was very powerful and was the largest capital in North America at that time.

But so what?

Other capital is jealous of you making money, and it does have a monopoly on oil operations, so they can do whatever they want without negotiation.

Nowadays, when companies like IBM say they want to imitate calculators, they just imitate calculators, without even considering the Patent Office and China Resources.

There was no need to tell the court that China Resources was a monopoly, and it was copied directly.

This is the normal state of capital’s pursuit of profit.

There is no way, Huayue Calculator's profits are still too surprising.

In addition to calculators, the development trend of Huaxin radios is also very good.

As of now, there is no other similar radio brand on the market.

Therefore, Hua Hin radios are selling very hotly.

Regarding this situation, Chen Guohua nodded. It was not beyond his expectation, so that was good.

"By the way, leader, can you run an optical cable from the capital to Hong Kong Island? In this case, we can get information much faster."

After hearing Chen Guohua's suggestion, Qiu Zongyue shook his head and said:

"Disaster!"

In fact, an optical cable has been brought to Jinling, but it is still a bit difficult to bring it to Baiyun City or Hong Kong Island.

Anyway, it can’t be done in a short time. Of course, this matter is already in the plan.

The most important thing now is whether Zhenhua Research Institute can make more money.

It is unrealistic to expect to mine gold or anything else.

Four major scientific research projects have been launched, and the scientific research funding for each project is at least 100 million.

Although the supercomputer previously developed by Zhenhua Research Institute has solved many problems of shortage of equipment and R&D personnel.

However, these four major projects still require a lot of funding.

Where does the funding come from?

Now everyone is pointing to the foreign exchange earned by Zhenhua Research Institute.

In response, Chen Guohua said solemnly that he understood, and in just these two days, they would be able to take out the game arcade machine.

In the evening, Chen Guohua finished his day's work and returned home with his medal.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he saw Chen Wei chasing an old hen all over the yard.

The old hen clucked as he chased her, and flapped her wings from time to time, as if she wanted to fly to escape the little guy's pursuit.

"father!"

When he saw his father coming back, the little guy was pleasantly surprised.

He stopped chasing the old hen and ran towards his father.

Chen Guohua picked up the little guy in amusement, and gently pinched his little face with a smile:

"You are so naughty, the old hen is scared, right? Do you want to eat eggs?"

Chen Wei, who is not yet two years old, is already very good at walking and running, and is as good as many three- and four-year-old children.

This is the age at which people chase chickens and dogs, as is said in legend, that is, they have reached the age where people are disgusted with dogs.

Little kids are like this, full of curiosity about the world, and generally speaking, his curiosity will only last for a short period of time before it moves to other aspects.

For example, when he cries, he can cry for more than ten minutes.

Of course, if no one pays attention to him, his crying will soon stop, and then he will go to an adult and continue playing again.

"Dad, I want to eat chicken."

Chen Guohua was quite happy to hear that the little guy's enunciation was not very clear, but he did say a relatively complete sentence.

"Okay, let's eat chicken tonight. How about we kill the chicken and eat the meat?"

"it is good!"

The little kid was so happy that he struggled to get out of his father's arms and chased the old hen.

"Eat, eat"

Seeing this scene, Chen Guohua shook his head and smiled.

Boys are so naughty and there is really nothing they can do about it.

The yard at home is quite large, so the little guy has enough space to move around.

Although there are only two old hens, the two old hens live a life of fear every day.

Yu Moli then walked in carrying something and was speechless when he saw this scene.

After arriving in the room, Yu Moli took Chen Guohua's medal and ran to chat with Yun Wanshang and the others.

Although it is just a medal from abroad, it is a mathematical honor after all, and the medal is made of gold, which is of course very different.

At the dinner table, the family laughed and praised Chen Guohua and talked about the Fields Medal.

Then by the way, I mentioned it to Chen Xiaoyue, Chen Yuanchao and other young men, and asked them to work hard and strive to win glory for the country like Chen Guohua in the future.

In the eyes of Lao Chen, Yun Wanshang, and Hu Pinggu, being able to get foreigners to award medals to them willingly means bringing glory to the country.

What's more, a few years ago, Chen Guohua went to Baiyun City to give lectures to so many foreigners.

And after that, Chen Guohua also won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award issued by the above.

From this point of view, we know that the gold content of this medal is actually not low at all.

Chen Xiaoyue and the others, half-grown children, do nothing but nod their heads.

At home, Chen Guohua is their role model, there is no doubt about it.

"By the way, let me tell you all, I plan to go through the retirement procedures next month, and I will take care of the children from now on."

Suddenly, Chen Gonglu said his decision, and the whole family was stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed.

It would be great if he retired.

There are a lot of children in the family now, especially the two youngest children, Chen Wei and Chen Si, who definitely need adults to take care of them.

Usually Hu Pinggu, Yun Wanshang and Gan Rushuang take turns helping, but as for Chen Guohua and Yu Moli, they definitely can't be counted on.

Therefore, if Chen Gonglu retires at home now, it will reduce everyone's pressure.

"Dad, have you really thought about it?" Upon hearing this, Chen Guohua couldn't help but look at his father and asked seriously.

Lao Chen is very reluctant to leave his job, or in other words, many older generations are almost like this now.

Such as Qiu Zongyue, such as Zhou Zutong, such as Xiang Liqiang.

They are all about the same age as Chen Gonglu, or older than Chen Gonglu.

However, they are still struggling on the front line of their jobs.

It's not that they are reluctant to let go of their power, but that their superiors trust them, and they must have a trustworthy successor.

"I must have thought about it. I will retire at home and count on you to support me."

Chen Gonglu said with a chuckle. When Chen Guohua heard this, he nodded and said:

"It's definitely no problem. My salary is still very good."

Not to mention his salary exceeds 500 yuan, this Fields Medal alone is worth 1,500 Canadian dollars.

According to the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Canadian dollar, and the exchange rate between the RMB and the US dollar.

So these 1,500 Canadian dollars can be exchanged for more than 3,600 RMB.

Three thousand six hundred yuan is not a small amount of money. In today's era, many people's salary level is around thirty or forty, which can support a family.

Although many restrictions on food, meat, etc. are the same as last year, as time goes by, Chen Guohua believes that these restrictions will be lifted.

"Yes, Dad, don't worry. I will be a senior in college later this year. I will be a senior the year after that, and I will be working the year after that."

Yu Moli also said something, but Yun Wanshang rolled her eyes at Chen Gonglu and said:

"You already have a pension yourself, and I still have a lot of salary here. Are you afraid that it won't be enough for you to spend?"

The latter happily picked up vegetables for Chen Wei and fed the little guy, but said nothing.

Because there's nothing to argue with.

After retirement, Chen Gonglu can still receive one-third of his salary, plus free medical care, so there is nothing to worry about.

Not to mention that Yun Wanshang, Chen Guohua, and Hu Pinggu still have wages.

Chen Guohua's salary alone can support this large family without any problem.

So in this family, money, or in other words, food, is not a problem.

The atmosphere at home was excellent. Chen Guohua was chatting with his family while eating, but his thoughts were far away.

If he wants to keep his family's life like this, he can only continue to work hard and not let the outside world destroy this atmosphere.

However, it may be a little difficult for his mother Yun Wanshang.

The reason is also very simple. She is a university professor and a professor in the Chinese Department.

Ugh!

Although she did not study abroad, she

The same is true for Gan Rushuang.

Fortunately, Hu Pinggu, the sister-in-law, works in the subdistrict office. If she can become the director of the subdistrict office, she will have more say and may be more secure.

Chen Guohua thought about everything in front of him and the subsequent solution.

But this has not happened yet, and it is somewhat too early to worry about it now.

It's not an unfounded worry, it's just a precautionary measure.

In the blink of an eye, the next day, Chen Guohua returned to Zhenhua Research Institute and continued to do the best finishing work for the technology of the game arcade product.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, the long-awaited test work finally arrived.

Game arcade is not a difficult technology, and the Yao Ling Er factory has already recruited workers, waiting for technical breakdown and training, and then it can be produced quickly.

In fact, many components such as chips have already begun mass production.

Chips have always been produced not by Zhenhua Research Institute, but by other units such as the 985 Factory.

In the past, their factories took away a lot of technology and equipment. Even the photolithography machines, they had a full range of equipment and technology.

So they contracted the production of chips, which was no problem at all.

Or to be more precise, Zhenhua Research Institute is engaged in chip design and research and development, as well as the update and iteration of other technologies such as photolithography machines.

The 985 factory and other sister units are chip foundries, photolithography machine production factories, etc.

Qiu Zongyue also came to the laboratory immediately. He had been looking forward to the arcade game that Chen Guohua mentioned for a long time.

After all the components were installed, Chen Guohua ordered the power supply to be turned on and the testing work started.

Since this year, electricity is no longer a problem that troubles Zhenhua Research Institute.

Even if someone suddenly commits suicide and the external power supply is suddenly cut off, the backup power supply in Zhenhua Research Institute is enough to last for a day.

So there is no need to worry about these power supply issues.

The game arcade started up very normally. Chen Guohua looked at the monitor and found that everything was starting up according to the originally designed start-up time.

But he didn't relax.

The present is just the beginning, there are still many subsequent series of tests, so we definitely cannot relax.

Soon, as time went by, various testing work was officially launched.

In particular, one of the most important testing tasks is long-term operation.

Obviously, the game arcade cannot be stopped, and it cannot delay the bar owners from making money.

You know, those people who stay in the bar are all night owls. It is normal to stay up all night and so on.

Therefore, if the machine cannot continue to operate, it will be a huge loss for the owner who purchased the game arcade machine.

Moreover, products produced by Zhenhua Research Institute cannot be returned to the factory for repairs so quickly. This is definitely not possible.

So it is necessary to carry out these tests.

Strive for excellence is one thing, but reputation is also very important.

Chen Guohua will definitely not let product quality be the reason for being eliminated from the market.

Even if these game arcade machines are to be eliminated, it will be because of other factors such as price, not because of poor quality.

Of course, Chen Guohua will definitely launch other game arcade machines in the future. By then, the machine that only has the game Ping Pong in front of him is destined to not be so popular.

Competitive games are the most essential products in games.

After all, this thing is full of entertainment attributes, social attributes, etc.

"Okay, now most of the testing work has been completed, and it is basically confirmed that there is no problem with this machine."

After all the testing work was completed, Chen Guohua took a look at everyone and said:

"Then the next step is the last test. This work needs to be carried out all night, and all aspects of data need to be noted. So who will be responsible?"

For a time, most of the researchers raised their hands and expressed that they wanted to be responsible for this part of the testing work.

When Qiu Zongyue saw this scene, he suddenly couldn't understand it.

It's obviously a test job, is it necessary to be so active?

And it’s still work that needs to be done all night long. It’s obviously a thankless job. Is it necessary to be so active?

But in fact, everyone likes this kind of work very much.

After all, most of the researchers at Zhenhua Research Institute are young people in their twenties, and they are more receptive to new things.

As for working all night?

It's not work, it's entertainment, it's a kind of enjoyment.

How cool is it to play games all the time?

The emasculated version of the computer that was previously placed in the reading room was played with the ping pong game the most.

However, due to limited time, the number of times everyone can play each time is also very limited.

Judging from this computer, the table tennis game is a success and the machine has no problems at all.

But it is impossible for Chen Guohua to take out the computer, so can the newly developed game arcade machine survive the test?

This is still an unknown.

Chen Guohua looked at everyone, nodded, and randomly named ten researchers to take charge of this matter.

"From now on, you will be responsible for this testing work, and the relevant data will need to be recorded."

"I will ask Director Xue to tell the comrades in the kitchen and security department about this later. Your late night snack and breakfast are all taken care of."

Upon hearing this, the ten selected researchers immediately cheered.

"As for the time, you can arrange it yourself. Five people in the first half of the night and five people in the second half of the night. When the time comes, we will place a few camp beds here and you can sleep in the laboratory."

After making arrangements, today's work is almost over.

After Chen Guohua and Qiu Zongyue walked out of the laboratory, the latter suddenly said:

"I said Guohua, why were they so happy just now?"

"Leader, I've told you before that you really can't understand young people, but these researchers are already a very self-disciplined group of people, but they are still crazy about the ping pong arcade game. Think about it. , how will other people react?"

There is no doubt that you will do a lot of crazy things just to be able to play games, right?

Qiu Zongyue glanced at Chen Guohua thoughtfully and suddenly said:

"Is this the electronic opium you told me about before?"

When Chen Guohua heard this, he looked at the other party in surprise, shook his head and said:

"Leader, this is not electronic opium at all."

Because the game arcade is very restrictive, people cannot be addicted to it all the time.

After all, the cost of game arcade machines is not expensive, but the price is definitely not cheap.

In the original history of time and space, the price of a ping pong arcade machine was US$1,200.

And that time was 1975.

Atari at that time quickly sold tens of thousands of machines, and even in the next few years, the growth rate was only fast or slow.

Because at the beginning, the table tennis arcade machines were only displayed in bars, and there was no such concept as a game room.

Chen Guohua will definitely not use such a simple and crude way to sell machines. What he needs is to sell the most machines in the shortest time.

Waiting for the market to ferment and slowly exploding orders is not Chen Guohua’s style.
