Chapter 243 "Ji Guang"
The leader of the Postal and Communications Commission was delighted when he heard this: "Then I will wait for good news. If you need any help, please contact the Communications Institute for small matters and me for big matters. I have already issued a document and they will cooperate with you."
It's not that Gao Zhendong is too proud to say it out loud, but the programmable switching system requires pre-installed technology, and it would make little sense to say it out loud now. Instead, it would confuse the mentality of the Postal and Communications Commission and cause trouble for himself.
Let's wait until the front-end technology is almost ready. After all, if Gao Zhendong wants to do it, he has to do program-controlled switching. Even if it is not digital switching or time-division switching, it must be at least program-controlled space-division switching. Let's consider this matter after the single-board computer is ready.
The difference between digital switching, time division switching and space division switching can be simply understood as follows: the first two convert voice signals into digital signals and then use one line to transmit multiple voice channels at the same time.
Space division switching is a hard circuit connection between two telephones, which is established by switching on and off the lines. This circuit connection is occupied until the call ends. Since the connection is directly occupied in space, it is called space division switching and has nothing to do with air.
The utilization rate of space-division switching lines is very low, and the investment in communication network construction is high. In Gao Zhendong's previous life, it had long been eliminated. However, the manual switch at this time was actually a kind of space-division switching, but it was manual, and the line utilization efficiency was low, and the work efficiency was even lower.
In terms of line utilization efficiency, digital switching is undoubtedly higher, but in terms of latency and line quality, air division is better, but this advantage is far less than its disadvantages.
However, under the technical conditions of the 60s, the technical difficulty of air separation exchange was much lower.
But these are all later stories, so let’s leave them aside for now.
-
At about the same time, several emails from different channels were sent to different countries.
Mr. Senna of Gallic Rooster opened an air diplomatic parcel from an Eastern country. Since there were not many formal communication channels between the two countries, the parcel was delivered to him first.
When I opened the package, I found a Chinese journal, a thin Gallic translation, and a thin piece of letter paper.
The entire journal has not been translated into Gallic in China, only the most important article needs to be translated.
For the other parts, if you are interested, you can try to translate them yourself.
Although Mr. Senna is not a scientific researcher, it can be seen from the format of the translation that this is a research paper.
Mr. Senna was very puzzled by this. What did the Orientals want to do by giving him a paper? Did they want him to help publish it?
Thinking of this, Senna laughed.
He picked up the letter. The content of the letter was very simple. It said that this was a high-energy physics achievement made by scientists from our country, the first of its kind in the world, called the stimulated emission amplifier of light. In view of the recent pleasant cooperation between the two countries on high-tech products, we would like to share the technology of this achievement with you as soon as the achievement comes out.
Senna was a little bit unconvinced. It was not that he did not believe that this was the world's number one. After all, there were many useless world's number one in John Bull's beer hall. Instead, he thought that this "number one" was probably the product of the backward and closed Orientals' self-satisfaction.
Senna was feeling mixed emotions in his heart, belittling Orientals and criticizing John Bull in his heart. As the former strongest country in Europe and the biggest offshore troublemaker, the conflict between the two countries has a long history. The bloody battle over Hans Cat could not erase this "fine" tradition among the people.
However, out of courtesy, he still read the paper carefully, so that when he replied, he could tell the other party about the things in the letter and maybe get them to lower the price of the computer a little bit?
However, this look made him realize that things might be a little different from what he originally thought.
He didn't know what laser radiation amplification was. At that time, laser was not everywhere like it would be in the future and everyone knew about it. It was just a high-tech scientific concept within a small range.
However, he knew who Einstein was and had a general idea of his achievements. It was obvious that this paper was related to photoelectrics.
"The research of Oriental people is actually related to the Nobel Prize. Maybe they are not bragging?"
A slightly obscure piece of knowledge is that Einstein's Nobel Prize has little to do with general relativity and special relativity. He won the prize for proposing the photon hypothesis and explaining the photoelectric effect.
The reason is not that the latter is more important or greater than the former two, but because the former two are too theoretical, while the Nobel Prize is a scientific award that tends to be applied.
Therefore, Mr. Senna was not clear about Einstein's general theory of relativity and special theory of relativity, but he was clear about the photoelectric effect for which he won the award. As upper-class people in the Gallic world, they occasionally needed this knowledge to brag about it at banquets.
Therefore, no matter what the relationship is between the photoelectric effect and the stimulated radiation amplification of light, at least, they are both related to light, and Mr. Senna's judgment is based on very simple and real facts.
A world first related to the Nobel Prize made him take it more seriously, and he continued to read the paper carefully.
However, when he looked at this paper, it was obvious that he had chosen the wrong object. He knew every Gaulish letter, but when they were put together, it was obviously beyond his ability.
Although he didn't understand it, Senna was still clearly aware of one thing: the world's number one in the eyes of Oriental people might really have meaning.
This made him somewhat happy and somewhat melancholy.
What makes us happy is that we can get the technology sharing of a heavyweight scientific achievement out of thin air and at the first time without paying any price.
The sadness was that this had dealt a heavy blow to his sense of superiority. Yes, although he was importing high-tech products from the other party, he still felt that he was superior. But now, this sense of superiority seemed to be somewhat frustrated.
But no matter what, I was the one who acquired this technology, and this is the credit of my work, which may allow me to get some good reviews from the last man of the Gallic chickens.
Thinking of this, Senna became happy again.
He called his secretary and asked him to invite a scientist who was engaged in high-energy physics research to meet him as quickly as possible.
Before he can determine the value of this technology, he will not allow anyone else to have a chance to get their hands on it.
Fortunately, he received the package in the morning, which enabled him to get support from high-energy physics scientists from the Gallic Academy of Sciences that day.
"Mr. Mael, I have a paper on high-energy physics from the East, and I would like to get your professional opinion." Senna handed the paper to the balding old man with a big beard.
Maelle took the paper and muttered, "The East? The East wants advice from us? Or do they want to publish their research through you?"
Senna shook his head. “No, Mr. Mael, this paper has been published in its home country. What I want to know is whether it has any scientific significance.”
Maelle shrugged. “I think it might be difficult. They often publish knowledge that has already been published.”
This is not prejudice. Due to the poor communication between us and the outside world, such things continued to happen even after the reform and opening up.
While expressing her opinion, Maelle opened the paper.
In the Gaulish title "Research and Implementation of a Laser", the word "laser" was replaced by "JiGuang". The mixture of Gaulish and English letters made Maelle completely unable to understand the title, not to mention that these English letters were actually Chinese pinyin.
Our translators put these letters there with pride. I don't care whether you can understand them or not, but we are the first to achieve this, so we have the right to name it.
Maybe you don’t recognize them now, but these Chinese pinyin are there, and one day you will not be able to ignore them.
Our pride made Mr. Maele completely unable to understand what this paper was about. This is garbage! He thought angrily in his heart.
Resisting the urge to throw the paper into the trash can, Maelle continued reading.
The explanation about JiGuang in the summary made his eyes widen.
"Oh my God, this is impossible!" Maelle exclaimed.
Stimulated amplification of light?
This is indeed a cutting-edge technology in the field of high-energy physics, but how could an Oriental be the first to realize such a thing!
They are liars! Maele thought angrily, I must expose their shameless behavior in the international academic community!
Driven by this thought, he suppressed his discomfort and continued to scroll down.
When Maelle saw that the material for stimulated light amplification was ruby, she laughed. He was indeed a liar.
Before the realization of ruby laser, the mainstream academic community generally believed that ruby was not a suitable laser material, and Mr. Maelle was no exception.
But it was this thing that was not favored by the mainstream academic community that was the first to emit that ray of light.
I must humiliate them! Maelle began to seriously look for evidence to humiliate the other party. To find evidence, she had to read the paper carefully.
This is a bit like when Gao Zhendong was a troll on the Internet in his previous life. In order to refute a video, he had to contribute a playback volume and an effective viewing data to the other party. This is very annoying! Mr. Maelle is feeling this way now.
However, when he read on carefully, he fell into deep thought.
The solid theory, detailed data, self-consistent logic, bold inferences, and the seemingly extremely credible light stimulated emission amplifier design all made Mr. Maelle begin to doubt his own judgment.
Maybe, probably, the Orientals really didn't lie, and they are the best in the world?
