Chapter 195 Master Yi, would you like to recruit a new apprentice? (3k)

Director Li looked at his group of computer people and thought of a question: "Director Gao, this is not like a keyboard. It involves relatively precise machining and mechanical design. These people don't seem to be good at it."

Gao Zhendong smiled and pointed at himself: "Don't worry about that, I'm in the third rolling mill, and I still have to get the eighth-level fitter and mechanical design related personnel. The electric drive striking circuit of the printing needle was designed by the comrades in the calculation institute, and the mechanical part was completed by them."

Director Li thought about it and realized that, yes, this person has a lot of resources that can be mobilized, so there is no need to worry about this problem.

And judging from his situation, he probably has some way to utilize the resources not only of the Third Rolling Mill but also of the entire Seventeenth Ministry of Machine Building.

After solving the processing problem, the paper feeding system is not a big problem at this stage. It is much simpler to solve than the print head. At least in the planning stage, there is no need to worry about this becoming a risk.

When it came to the control system part, everyone was a little confused. It was impossible to equip this thing with a computer to control it. That would be too expensive.

"Director Gao, the control of this thing, no matter how simple it is, cannot be solved by simple digital circuits, especially the storage of printed content and the complex control part. Do we need to equip it with a computer?"

Gao Zhendong shook his head: "No, let's use a simple method first. In principle, for normal printing, the print head and paper feed can only be coordinated in one or a limited number of ways. Then, we will process the printed content in the print driver or dedicated printing program on the computer."

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Gao Zhendong gave an example: "For example, we cut the printing content into small data packets of 2 bytes. Each small data packet contains the striking data of the 16 needles at this time. The 2 binary bits of 16 bytes correspond to the 16 needles of the print head. If it is 1, it will strike, and if it is 0, it will not move."

Everyone understood a little bit. A staff member of the computing center said excitedly: "Director Gao, you mean that after printing a data packet, the printer moves back one column, and after printing a line, the printer moves the paper one line?"

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Yes, in this way, the printer control program only needs to handle three actions: hitting the data packet, moving the print head at a fixed distance, and feeding the paper at a fixed distance! This way, the control circuit on the printer side is much simpler!"

Then he added: "Add the necessary printing instructions such as blank line control and paper feed, and it will basically work. When the cost and size of the dedicated control circuit are reduced to an acceptable level, we will consider making the printer more complex and more advanced."

Chief Engineer Chi smiled and said, "It sounds simple, but it actually solves the problem of text printing. And although this type of printer can't even print grayscale images, it can still print function graphs and the like. It can even use dot density to simulate grayscale, which solves the problem of image printing to some extent."

It can be heard that he has given a lot of thought to the principles and capabilities of dot matrix printers in such a short period of time, and has even considered the printing of graphics and images.

Graphics and images sound similar, but to people who work with computers, there is a huge difference between them.

All I can say is that once the window paper is broken, no one is a fool.

Director Li said, "If we have this now, then once Director Gao's C language tutorial manuscript is entered, we can print out a batch of internal teaching materials right away."

Chief Engineer Chi said with a smile: "I guess I won't be able to catch up this time, but it doesn't matter, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Director Gao is a man of great talent, he should have more than just these few books, there are many more to come, haha. It's a pity that I may not be able to collect Director Gao's manuscripts in the future."

I'm still thinking about your collection. If you really like it, I can continue to write manuscripts for you by hand. It just so happens that the system conversion service requires one lottery opportunity, which is a bit painful. I will probably still write by hand when I can, Gao Zhendong thought.

After discussing everything, we finally decided to get a dot matrix printer.

The Institute of Computing prepared a scientific research application report based on the content of today's meeting, which was reviewed by Gao Zhendong and submitted to the 12th Ministry of Machine Building for approval.

Gao Zhendong is only prepared to provide the principles and technical routes, and help coordinate the resources of mechanical design and machining, and then he will not interfere too much. As long as the principles are understood, it is not difficult with the current technical conditions. At most, the printing effect will be sacrificed, and it is not unusable.

After returning to the courtyard, Gao Zhendong first went to Sha Zhu's house to have a meal, and then seeing that the time was right, he went to Yi Zhonghai's house.

It is better to leave the machining of the print head to Yi Zhonghai, an experienced person.

An eighth-level fitter is more suitable for this task than a lathe operator or a forger.

After knocking on the door and entering the house, Yi Zhonghai and the aunt were very welcoming and asked Gao Zhendong to sit down. They brought up plate after plate of New Year's food for the guests, just like when they came to visit during the Spring Festival holiday.

Gao Zhendong talked to Yi Zhonghai about the print head. Surprisingly, Yi Zhonghai didn't seem too interested.

"Zhendong, I know you are taking care of me, an old man. You didn't forget me when you had something good to show off. But I'm really not in the mood right now."

Gao Zhendong understood it immediately. Jia Dongxu's death was a huge blow to Yi Zhonghai. His hope was gone and his spirit was gone.

For a serious case, drastic measures must be taken. Gao Zhendong felt that there was no benefit in dragging his feet in this situation. To put it bluntly, it was his apprentice who died, not his son. This reduced a lot of taboos. It would be better to just burst the abscess directly than to cover it up. Not dwelling on this matter for too long would be good for Yi Zhonghai.

So he brought up the subject and said, "Master Yi, you haven't recovered from Dongxu's incident yet."

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Zhendong, you are right. I always feel like I can't muster the energy to do anything. When I think of Dongxu, I..."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't continue. It was indeed for this reason. Gao Zhendong's idea was very simple. If one disciple died, he would find another one. Now even being a widow is not fashionable, so it is only natural for a master to find another disciple.

Gao Zhendong said: "Master Yi, Dongxu's incident has already happened, so don't think too much about it. You should still look forward. If you ask me, how about you find another apprentice?"

"Looking for another apprentice?"

It's not like Yi Zhonghai hasn't thought about this, but when it comes to finding an apprentice, he has a little more ideas than others. If he doesn't know the person well, he won't dare to look for one.

"Are you worried that the new apprentice won't know you well enough? I see, there's already a candidate."

Yi Zhonghai was a little confused about what Gao Zhendong meant: "Who?"

Gao Zhendong pointed to the opposite side: "Sister-in-law of the Jia family."

Gao Zhendong really thought that his idea was a good one. The pension problem of Yi Zhonghai's family was solved, and the child-raising problem of the Jia family was also solved. It was a two-way journey.

With this relationship in place, there will probably be fewer troubles in the yard, and many bad things will not have the conditions to happen.

No matter how you look at it, this is a good thing.

Moreover, there is a hidden task in my system: change the fate of the main characters in the plot without violating public order and morality. Although it is not mandatory, there are rewards.

As for the claim that Yi Zhonghai had feelings for Qin Huairu? In Gao Zhendong's opinion, that was bullshit.

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he shook his head like a rattle: "Huai Ru? No, no."

Gao Zhendong asked: "Why not?"

Yi Zhonghai said without hesitation: "Because."

At this point, he suddenly couldn't continue, as if there was no obvious reason why he couldn't continue.

Gao Zhendong said, "Master Yi, no one dares to accept the sister-in-law of the Jia family, except you. Given her situation, people who don't have any feelings for her dare not approach her, for fear of rumors. The sister-in-law of the Jia family doesn't want to approach people who have feelings for her, for fear of rumors. Only you are the most suitable. If you don't help her, it will probably take a long time for her to really get started in the factory."

In the TV series of Gao Zhendong's previous life, Qin Huairu's salary was still 65 yuan in . Gao Zhendong estimated that this had something to do with it.

In the TV series, Qin Huairu seems to be either a fitter or a lathe operator. These two jobs rely more on brains. Does Qin Huairu lack brains? Obviously, she does not lack brains.

You should know that among female model workers, it is not uncommon to see fitters and the like.

Or maybe she doesn't want to make progress, but does Qin Huairu lack the motivation to make progress? Looking at her family and her attitude towards her family, it is obvious that she is not lacking in motivation.

How did she end up like that? No one taught her, so she made slow progress by exploring on her own. But later on, maybe she developed a path dependence with Shazhu.

Yi Zhonghai fell into deep thought and felt that what Gao Zhendong said made sense. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that what Gao Zhendong said was indeed a correct approach.

Yi Zhonghai thought he knew Qin Huairu inside and out. He was not as honest as Jia Dongxu, but when it came to filial piety, it seemed that there was no problem.

He is Jia Dongxu's master. Now that Jia Dongxu is gone, there is nothing wrong with him taking care of his apprentice's family. With his reputation and connections, these rumors will not spread.

When it comes to retirement, he has no shortage of money, but people to take care of the elderly. In this matter, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu are no different. If something must be said, Qin Huairu may be more attentive, especially since his wife is in poor health, which is even more important.

If the couple lived a few more years, not only Qin Huairu's generation, but even Bang Geng's generation could be taken over.

The two families live next to each other, so if anything happens, it will be much more convenient than finding an apprentice who comes from far away and whose background is unknown.

After thinking it over, he made up his mind and looked up at Gao Zhendong and said, "Zhendong, you really woke me up. I think we can give it a try."

Gao Zhendong was actually quite happy. If it really worked, on the one hand, it would indeed be considered a good thing. As for what others thought, he didn't care.

Secondly, this is considered that I have changed the fate of the main characters in the Siheyuan plot under the premise of complying with public order and good customs. When the year-end settlement is completed, can I upgrade the system a little bit? Or if I don't ask for more, I can at least give a few more draws.
