Chapter 231 The first issue of Laser and the scientists who took over
After finishing most of the training on "Safety Production Management System", Gao Zhendong returned to debugging the single-board computer.

Occasionally, he would also write some operating systems. Since he unexpectedly got a modem and realized the basic hardware conditions of the network in advance, Gao Zhendong adjusted the progress plan of the operating system in time.

Now, core functions including terminal display and keyboard driver, assembly compiler, C compiler, Chinese compilation environment, simple file management, numerical calculation programming, network message transmission, file transfer, etc. can be implemented in the existing loop duty environment, so let's use it first.

To some extent, this loop duty program has evolved into a simple operating system for the current DJS-59, which can already meet the needs of computer operation and management in a stand-alone environment. It seems unnecessary to reinvent the wheel of single-channel batch processing.

Combined with the availability of network hardware, he planned to evolve the original single-channel batch processing into a multi-tasking and multi-user operating system.

With the implementation of telnet, users have a foundation for remote login.

The ongoing research on single-board computers provides the hardware foundation for remote terminals of multi-user operating systems.

Anyway, due to management reasons, the network is only deployed on a small scale, and can even be considered a point-to-point collection for the time being, which cannot be considered a network. Moreover, without the management of an operating system, there is no such thing as a network.

In this case, message transmission and file transfer in the existing loop duty environment are sufficient for use, and there is no need to rush to develop a semi-finished operating system for emergency response.

Just go ahead and do it in one go.

Fortunately, when Gao Zhendong first wrote the operating system, he planned it according to a multi-tasking, multi-user operating system, and then used a large number of empty operations and empty functions to simplify it into a single-channel batch processing system.

Therefore, as long as those empty spaces are filled with actual content, multi-tasking and multi-user can be achieved. In fact, since he has not yet written the process management part of the original operating system, there are not many places that need to be modified, and more are new additions.

On Wednesday, somewhere in Beijing, leaders of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building and the Ministry of Science and Technology were reporting an important event.

Regarding this matter, the 17th Ministry of Machine Building is the birthplace, and the Ministry of Science and Technology is the appraiser and witness, neither of them can be missing.

"Our comrades from the Chinese Academy of Sciences carefully studied and reviewed the laser paper by Gao Zhendong of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building, and successfully reproduced the laser using the data and design in the paper. This proves that the result is real and effective. This is a scientific and technological achievement that truly ranks first in the world."

The leader who was listening to the report was very happy to hear this conclusion: "Good! Good! Well done! They foreigners say that we are backward and ignorant, as if we will never be able to develop high technology. Now, Comrade Gao Zhendong's achievements have given them a loud slap in the face."

Then he added with lingering feelings: "Facts have proved that as long as we have a good environment and a spirit of hard work, we can catch up with the world's advanced level."

The leader of the Ministry of Science and Technology smiled and said, "Yes, as time goes by, I think we will have more and more similar achievements."

The chief smiled and said, "Speaking of this, how is your 601 project going?"

This 601 is not the 601 of Wang Dezhu’s son. It refers to an important scientific research project in the 60s - the artificial synthesis of bovine insulin, which is also a world first in my country.

The leader of the Ministry of Science and Industry was somewhat ashamed: "Protein synthesis is very difficult and involves too many aspects. The raw materials are basically all imported. Now there is some progress, but it will take time."

It is indeed difficult to synthesize protein. Even a jerk like Gao Zhendong cannot do it because he has never collected relevant information in his previous life.

How difficult is this thing? The work started in 1958, and it was not until 1965 that it was finally synthesized. However, it is still the best in the world. It took 7 years to complete, and it is said that more than 800 people were mobilized in total.

After hearing his words, the leader was not angry. Scientific research is not easy.

He was well versed in the laws of objective development and knew that this kind of work could not be accomplished overnight. He just smiled and joked, "They are fighting in a 'large group', but they didn't expect that their 'small group assault' would be faster than this comrade's. It seems that we should pay attention to 'fighting a big war', but we can't ignore similar 'guerrilla warfare' either."

The leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology nodded repeatedly and said: "You are right. We will pay attention to both hands in the future and strive to achieve full success."

The leader turned to the 17th Ministry of Machine Building and said, "I didn't expect that this world-first achievement in high-energy physics was born from your system. This proves one thing: our working people, our worker comrades, can create all miracles and do everything."

The leader of the 17th Ministry of Machinery laughed and said, "We are a little off-topic, haha."

When the leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology heard this, veins popped out in their heads. This is too much, comrade.

The chief laughed heartily: "Haha, it's good to be off-duty!"

After that, he pointed to the paper on lasers and said, "You should announce this as soon as possible, as widely as possible, and publish it domestically and abroad as soon as possible."

Perhaps knowing the concerns of the Ministry of Science and Industry, he added: "Don't worry. It doesn't matter even if others learn to make lasers from us. Be generous and let everyone who uses lasers think of us first."

The leader of the Ministry of Science and Technology took the order and left, while the chief frowned and thought: "Gao Zhendong, this name is very familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere?" While thinking, he cast his eyes on the densely packed books on the desk.

The next morning, the newspaper had the headline on the front page.

"Laser shines, scaling new heights - my country achieves stimulated emission amplification of light for the first time in the world."

The article first introduced my country's world-first achievement in stimulated radiation of light, then announced the official Chinese name of this achievement - laser, and gave the Chinese Academy of Sciences' achievement identification method and identification opinion, and compared the progress of related research abroad. Then the article used a lot of space to explain the significance of this achievement and the spirit it represents.

As usual, there is still no name of the researcher. In this era, the bigger the event, the more likely it is that there will be no name when it is reported. For example, when Gao Zhendong’s previous world first, artificially synthesized crystalline bovine insulin was announced, not a single name could be seen in the entire article.

This is partly due to the need for confidentiality and partly due to the habit of "corps operations".

So, although the laser was invented by Gao Zhendong alone through guerrilla warfare, according to convention, it still has no name.

Gao Zhendong has been involved in so many things, and he has been reported in newspapers several times. However, his name was only mentioned in the newspapers regarding the Chinese character editing environment. In all other cases, he was referred to as a "scientific and technological worker."

As soon as this article was published, all sectors of society were excited. We really need something like this to prove one thing, that is, since the mid-19th century, we now have the confidence, determination and ability to stand at the top of the world.

Although this is the only one for now, going from 0 to 1 is very difficult, but going from 1 to 10 is much easier. 0 represents the complete inability to do so. After all, 0 multiplied by any number is still 0.

This report was widely reprinted in various newspapers and periodicals without changing a single word.

On the same day, the Chinese Academy of Sciences also published the inaugural issue of a new journal, the name of which consisted of just two words.

--"laser".

On the cover, the publisher also wrote a very literary inscription.

"May you be as pure as it is, as passionate as it is, and as determined as it is."

In just a few words, the monochromaticity, directionality and high energy of the laser are vividly demonstrated.

The first article in "Laser" is Gao Zhendong's paper - "Research and Implementation of a Laser".

The name doesn't look like a paper, but rather like a patent.

The following article is about the research and expansion of various characteristics of lasers by relevant teams such as the Institute of Atomic Energy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

These articles basically study all possible directions of lasers currently available. In other words, for a period of time, all the research areas have been occupied by our scientists.

For quite a long time, anyone doing laser research had to cite articles from the inaugural issue of Laser. Anyway, this inaugural issue was like a house full of relatives, and there was always one aunt or uncle you couldn't escape from, and the first one was Gao Zhendong's article.

Moreover, all subsequent researchers have lost the possibility of winning the Nobel Prize in laser itself: there is no innovation left, not even a drop.

We can only think of the application of lasers, such as laser confinement nuclear fusion and attosecond laser.

Moreover, these articles also conducted a lot of predictive research, which made others even more uncomfortable. Prediction is something that only requires an idea and does not require actual results. However, those who later actually studied these predictions could not get around it.

They may not have any effect, but we cannot ignore their existence.

These articles seem to be taking advantage of our first-mover advantage in lasers to act rogue, but the people love to see it. There are so many foreigners who act rogue, so why can't we do one too?
At the same time, the Chinese Academy of Sciences also sent the original manuscript and translation of this journal to the bilateral science and technology cooperation committees of all countries that have concluded bilateral science and technology cooperation agreements with my country, all of which are countries in the Eastern Bloc.

However, there were also some countries of the Oceanic Treaty. The Ministry of Foreign Trade, under the pretext of DJS-59, sent the original and translated version of the first issue of "Laser" to Gaul.

In this way, both the Economic Assistance Council and the Maritime Convention have been successful. Although the journal is still on the way to being sent out, the world's first place has been set in stone and there is no possibility of it being repeated.
