Chapter 148 Long List of Winners (3k)

When the comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Trade heard this, they were delighted.

"If we can really export it, that would be great. The advantage is still the technology and equipment. We would have to use so much agricultural products, side dishes and light industrial products to make it comparable to such a small machine, not to mention the most primitive mineral resources."

The head of the foreign affairs department said: "The more primitive and low-grade the product is, the more it is controlled by others."

The comrades from the Defense Work Committee raised a new question: "The question now is whether we can maintain this relative lead. If we can maintain it, then from the perspective of the Defense Work Committee, there will be no problem with exports."

For this question, everyone naturally turned to the comrades from the 12th Ministry of Machine Building.

The leaders of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building were not very clear about this issue as it was too detailed.

So, Director Li and Chief Engineer Chi were invited in.

After listening to the question raised by the leader of the Defense Work Committee, Director Li said, "This question is still unclear."

"Not clear? The plan for the next generation of computers, yes it is, no it is no. Why is it not clear?" This answer surprised everyone. Isn't this what you are doing?

Apart from the leaders of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building, he knew the reason for this matter.

It is difficult to understand or imagine the details of the development of DJS-59 without reading relevant materials.

Director Li explained: "The research of DJS-59 transistor computer was carried out by a comrade from the th Ministry of Machine Building. After the research was completed, he transferred the technology to us. We only participated in the final mass production."

The Seventeenth Ministry of Machinery? This is a bit far from computers.

"As for the architecture and ideas of transistor computers, or general-purpose computers, our Institute of Computing is in the process of digesting them. Now, since the top priority is application and manufacturing, we are not as clear as this comrade about the next step of development."

The comrade from the Defense Work Committee asked, "Is this comrade from the Seventeenth Machine Department in Beijing?"

For those present, this situation did not need to be kept secret. The leader of the 12th Ministry of Machinery said with a smile: "He should be there. He works at the Third Steel Rolling Mill in Beijing and is the director of the First Research Laboratory of the Technical Department."

Director Li smiled and said, "Leader, Comrade Gao Zhendong is now the director of the research room of the Technical Department. Their Technical Department has been upgraded. He should be here. Not long ago, he solved a problem with computer portable storage and provided us with a set of mature and usable computer portable storage devices."

When the leader of the Defense Work Committee heard this, his head almost exploded: "Gao Zhendong?"

The leader of the 12th Ministry of Machinery smiled and said, "Yes, Director Gao Zhendong, a very capable comrade. Do you know him?"

"Isn't Gao Zhendong a materials guy?"

Director Li explained, "Yes, I heard that he has deep attainments in materials. Some time ago, we went to the Beijing Steel Plant to find him. He was leading people there to develop a new material. However, his undergraduate major was automation, which is actually closer to our major. DJS-59 was developed by him alone with his own funds."

At this point, Director Li and Chief Engineer Chi seemed to remember something. They looked at each other and laughed.

The leaders of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building were stunned, but when they thought about the words "self-raised funds", they also laughed.

Everyone looked at the inexplicable laughter of the 12th Ministry of Machinery, not knowing why. The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked, "What are you guys laughing at? Is there any good news? Let's celebrate together."

The leader of the 12th Machinery Department pointed at Director Li and said, "Hahaha, go ahead."

Director Li repeated in his mind many times, this is a work report, this is a work report, and then he said a little embarrassedly: "Comrade Gao Zhendong's research on DJS-59 came from his girlfriend's family, a shareholder who is currently enjoying the fixed interest of the Third Steel Rolling Mill."

After all, this was gossip in a formal meeting, and Director Li still felt a little ashamed.

Everyone at the scene was stunned. They thought about it for several times before they understood and burst into laughter.

It is very clear that Comrade Gao Zhendong has won over people from the opposing classes.

The leader of the foreign affairs department: "Comrade Gao Zhendong is very good at uniting all forces. Hahahaha, if he came to our foreign affairs department, he might be a good hand."

Comrade from the Defense Work Committee: "I only knew that in addition to scientific research, he was also good at fighting. I didn't expect that he could do this, hahahaha."

Ministry of Foreign Trade: “You can do foreign affairs, hahahaha, you can do foreign trade work too.”

Director Li smiled and said, "Comrade Gao Zhendong is indeed good at uniting all forces. What you leaders don't know is that when he was researching DJS-59, his neighbors mistook him for an enemy spy and reported him to the factory. When the comrades from the factory's internal security department went to verify the situation, the old ladies and children in his yard thought that they were trying to harm him, and they surrounded the internal security personnel and almost couldn't get in."

To be able to do this is really not just ordinary unity of the masses, everyone looks up to this comrade whom they have never met. All of this is what Gao Zhendong and the Lou family want to do, to spread the things that the Lou family did step by step in the form of jokes, and everyone is always willing to listen to jokes.

Although the message was spread in the form of a joke, people who understand the situation naturally know what is going on.

After enjoying the gossip, everyone started to talk about the matter again: "Should we invite Comrade Gao Zhendong here now?"

The head of the foreign affairs department thought for a moment and said, "It's probably too late now. How about this? We entrust the 59th Ministry of Machine Building to work with the comrades of the Defense Work Committee to find Comrade Gao Zhendong to verify the next development of transistor computers. If there is a clear development plan within a certain period of time, then we will approve the export of DJS-."

Everyone thought this was a good idea. The head of the Ministry of Foreign Trade even said with a smile, "If the export can be approved, it would be better to have a scope for approval. Then I can see if I can find some buyers besides the north. In fact, there are more than one or two companies that need this product."

The head of the foreign affairs department raised his eyebrows: "Economic Assistance Council?"

The Economic Aid Association is an organization similar to an economic community within the Russian camp. It coordinates the professional production and cooperation of members within the organization. What you produce and what he produces must be coordinated in a unified manner.

Ministry of Foreign Trade: "Not necessarily. I suggest a wider range. We don't have to be members of the Economic Support Council. We are not formal members of the Economic Support Council. It's boring to be in the rules and regulations set by others."

Everyone was thoughtful and understood what the Ministry of Foreign Trade meant.

On the day of the meeting, Gao Zhendong received a call from the 12th Ministry of Machine Building, asking him to take time out to visit the ministry to discuss matters related to computer development.

This matter was obviously not convenient to discuss over the phone. Gao Zhendong thought about it and proposed to the 12th Ministry of Machine Building that comrades from the semiconductor manufacturing industry be present as much as possible. He had his own ideas about the development of computers.

The next step in the development of computers is obviously not something that Gao Zhendong can solve alone. If the manufacturing problem is not solved, it will always be like water without a source and a tree without roots.

The 12th Ministry of Machine Building attached great importance to Gao Zhendong's opinion and expressed that they would organize relevant personnel and hold a meeting as soon as possible.

However, no matter how soon this happens, it will be after New Year's Day.

As New Year's Day is approaching, the selection of the "Liehuo Science and Technology Award" of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building is also in full swing.

The people from the 1959th Ministry of Machine Building acted immediately. After the meeting to decide on the Liehuo Science and Technology Award, they organized personnel and required all subordinate units to report all scientific and technological achievements before 1959 (including ).

Since this is the first time, we should just throw away all the previous ones. From the second year onwards, we can go light and only select the ones of the current year.

The staff and award judges work very hard and want to announce the award winners after New Year's Day and before the Lunar New Year of next year, so that the winners can have a good year as they bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

Now the list has reached the final review stage, and once it is passed, it will be the final result.

After all, the 17th Ministry of Machine Building is a large ministry with many units. Over the years, there have been many achievements and naturally more than one award winner, but there is a list of names that is particularly eye-catching.

"N-type Thermocouple", to be awarded the second prize, completed by: Gao Zhendong,.
"XXX type alloy", to be awarded the first prize, completed by: Gao Zhendong,.
"XXX Type Nickel-free Alloy Steel", to be awarded the first prize, completed by: Gao Zhendong
"XXX Type Low Nickel Alloy Steel", to be awarded the first prize, completed by: Gao Zhendong
"ESR Process Improvement Research", to be awarded the first prize, completed by: Gao Zhendong,.
"Steel for Urea Industry", to be awarded the first prize, completed by Gao Zhendong,.
"AOD Argon Oxygen Refining Process", to be awarded the second prize, completed by: Gao Zhendong,.
The words "XXX" are the original text of the final list.

Looking at this list, a bunch of judges were in a dilemma: "Comrade team leader, are there too many achievements of Comrade Gao Zhendong? Should we use our discretion?"

The head of the review team was the chief engineer of the 17th Ministry of Machinery. He smiled and said, "The opinions of the ministry are based on facts. Is the result watered down? Is the importance of the result consistent with the proposed award?"

"No, the results are solid and their importance is not in question."

"That's fine. We can't create something out of nothing, but we can't erase it at will. Besides, Comrade Gao Zhendong doesn't lack these awards, but what about the other researchers involved in these projects? Balancing any one of them will hurt them."

Then there is no doubt, all passed.

At this time, the chief engineer of the 59th Ministry of Machinery quietly asked the leader sitting on the scene: "What about DJS-? Why not add it?"

The leader laughed and said, "Leave DJS-59 to the th Ministry of Machine Building. They don't have a similar award right now. I'll leave one there for them to award. I'll embarrass them to death. Hahaha."

"What are those books?"

"Let's leave those books to the cultural or educational departments, and let them suffer the consequences, hahahaha."

Looking at his leader's expression, the chief engineer of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building was a little amused and helpless, but no matter what, the matter was settled.
