Chapter 299 If you write a word, it will be considered as our poor work
Gao Zhendong had no idea that so many things were happening behind the scenes. He was showing off the DJS-60D to the people from the th Ministry of Machine Building's Computing Institute.
I had wanted to do this yesterday, but I had to deal with the people from the desert first. They came from far away and were in a more urgent situation.
So early this morning, he called the Computing Institute and said, "Chief Engineer Chi, come over quickly. I have something good to show you."
As soon as Chief Engineer Chi put down the phone, he ran to Director Li's office without saying a word, grabbed Director Li and left.
Why not just call any comrade? Because if we call any comrade, the current procedures will be very troublesome. Besides, the good things at Director Gao's place are worth it. Not to mention Director Li, even the leaders of the department can go.
Although they didn't understand why, both of them knew that nothing that could make Gao Zhendong call them personally was simple.
The two rushed to the third steel rolling mill. Gao Zhendong's place had been nicknamed the "Technical Research Center of the Computing Institute" by the people in the Computing Institute. There was no other reason, mainly because all the new things that the Computing Institute had come up with recently were closely related to this place.
As soon as the two saw Gao Zhendong, Gao Zhendong excitedly called them: "Li, Mr. Chi, let's go and see the good stuff."
The two followed him to the computer room with excitement, and what caught their eyes was the small circuit board.
The two were more professional in this regard than the people from the desert, and they could tell the difference of the circuit board on the table at a glance.
"Director Gao, have you come up with a new computer accessory?"
Well, still not professional enough, or not bold enough.
Gao Zhendong shook his head mysteriously: "No."
"What is that?" Chief Engineer Chi asked as he looked at the circuit board that did not have many transistors but had a lot of small black plastic blocks.
Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "I named this thing DJS-60D. Do you remember what I said when I argued for expanding the export scope of DJS-59 last time?"
Director Li's eyes turned and he understood everything in his head: "DJS? You have miniaturized the computer using integrated circuits?"
Chief Engineer Chi stepped forward and carefully observed the cables connected to the circuit board: "Power supply, XS-59, JP-59, you have already done it!"
The two of them looked at the circuit board happily and were excited. Director Gao's action was simply impeccable. He kept his word and what he said around the Lunar New Year had already been completed.
Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "This is not a next-generation computer, but an integrated DJS-59. It is somewhat simplified, but you can think of it as a prototype of the next-generation computer. After all, the technology it uses is the integrated circuit technology I plan to use in the next-generation computer."
The two of them didn't care about this at all. Chief Engineer Chi laughed and said, "Director Gao, you are wrong. This is the next generation of computers, using the next generation of technology. As for the specific performance, it is determined by demand. Technology determines the generation, not performance."
You know what, what he said does make some sense. When it comes to technological generations, performance is not the decisive factor, technology is.
Director Li also smiled: "Director Gao, you have a good vision. In my opinion, this is the second generation of transistor computers. You also said that this is an integration of DJS-59, so its performance should be not far from DJS-59, right?"
Gao Zhendong nodded, explained the differences and connections between DJS-60D and DJS-59, and also explained the performance comparison.
After hearing this, the two suddenly realized that Gao Zhendong was up to something, and it was a big thing.
Chief Engineer Chi asked hesitantly, "Director Gao, are you planning on building the second-generation computer of the DJS-59 specification?"
Gao Zhendong nodded: "Yes, that specification is the second-generation high-performance computer, and this specification is only used by individuals, ordinary units, and special purposes."
Director Li was astonished when he heard his words. Although they didn't know what the second generation that Gao Zhendong mentioned would look like, from the scale-performance ratio of this "second-generation youth version", they could deduce that it must be something that had computing power and performance many times greater than DJS-59.
"This already has the capabilities of DJS-59. What I told you is enough, enough. Do you want to promote computers as much as possible so that ordinary units and ordinary people can use it as much as possible?" Director Li is worthy of being a manager. He can see at a glance that Gao Zhendong has big ambitions.
Gao Zhendong nodded: "Yes, in my opinion, computers will eventually become part of the homes of ordinary people. Maybe it's still early, but the sooner we prepare, the better it will be, right?"
He pointed at the DJS-60D and said, "Besides personal use, this thing can be used in many other places. For example, the Postal and Communications Commission has been eyeing a communication machine that can replace the telegraph for a long time. If we use this thing plus a modem, we can have everything."
Of course, it's not that simple, but the rest is the work of the Postal and Communications Commission. Gao Zhendong has already come up with enough disruptive technology. The two laughed and said, "You can talk to the Postal and Communications Commission about this yourself. We won't take the credit from you."
Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Let's put the matter over there aside. Before I complete the integrated circuit manufacturing process, the production volume of this thing cannot be high. The components are obtained through special channels, so it is not their turn for the time being."
Although Zhenxing Electric has been continuously bringing back components, these limited components must be used in the military industry first. The places where these things can be used are not as limited as those test bombs in the desert.
The two people from the computing institute also knew about this and said, "It should be soon. We know that Director Gao, your single crystal silicon was already on display for the May Day gift not long ago. I think the integrated circuit technology should also be no problem. It's just a matter of sooner or later. It's still in time, still in time."
Their trust in Gao Zhendong has almost reached the point of blindly trusting him.
Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "It should take some time. The integrated circuit process has a lot of process steps. But now there is one thing we need to do first. Let's work together and report this single board computer. We should report it to both departments. Our department has made a requirement that any new things I have must be reported as soon as possible."
The two people from the computing office hesitated: "Director Gao, this is inappropriate, right? We didn't contribute to this matter."
Gao Zhendong shook his head: "Then you are wrong. Look at this circuit board, Chief Engineer Chi, does it look familiar?"
The features of this circuit board are too obvious, with the stamp holes dividing it into four and the edges and corners without wiring. After ignoring the densely packed components and flying wires on it, Mr. Chi recognized it at a glance. Isn't this the one that Director Gao asked his institute to process some time ago?
Although he recognized her, he was still a little hesitant: "Director Gao, this doesn't seem to be a very important job."
The design was done by Director Gao, he drew the circuit diagram, found the components, did the soldering, and did the debugging himself. The Operation Office just made a board, and judging from the flying wires during debugging, he probably made some mistakes, which added a lot of workload for Director Gao. I am ashamed, ashamed.
Gao Zhendong smiled: "Never mind, as long as I contribute, I am involved. Anyway, my contribution ranks second, hahahaha."
Seeing Gao Zhendong being so generous, the two stopped being pretentious and said with a smile, "Then we would be ashamed to accept it and it would be disrespectful to refuse it."
Gao Zhendong nodded: "That's right. To be honest, the bulk of the next step of work will fall on you."
Director Li took on the responsibility: "That's great, otherwise we wouldn't feel comfortable reporting this project. You arrange whatever work you want, and we'll take care of the specific planning and implementation. You just need to talk and sign. If you have to do anything else, it will be considered that we've done a poor job!"
Gao Zhendong was amused by Director Li's words. He was not modest and arranged: "One thing is to re-make the plate according to the final result after my debugging and modification, and make ten formal prototypes. The second is to modify and transplant the supporting software on DJS-59 to DJS-60D."
These two are the most urgent tasks at the moment, and they require a lot of manpower and equipment. Gao Zhendong himself does not have time to do them.
Chief Engineer Chi said, "That's it? It's simple, don't worry, there will be no mistakes this time." Gao Zhendong had already taken care of it completely, and they just needed to gather people.
Director Li took over the most urgent task: "Director Gao, we will go back and write the report. You just need to review and sign it."
The two of them really showed their determination not to let Gao Zhendong write a single word. They communicated with Gao Zhendong for a long time, wrote down the relevant information on many pages, and prepared to go back and write a report.
After seeing the two off, Gao Zhendong remembered an old friend he hadn't contacted for a while, and this time he came to work again.
Gao Zhendong went to the confidential room and asked for a confidential call to the Grassland Tractor Factory.
Mr. He from the Grassland Tractor Factory is studying a book on tank weapon stabilization systems with several young comrades who have returned from further studies in Beijing.
The last time Gao Zhendong came to the Grassland Tractor Factory on a business trip, he decided to stay at the Beijing No. 3 Rolling Mill Guesthouse for a period of time after the New Year. The young comrade who followed Gao Zhendong to study the knowledge related to tank weapon stability has now completed his studies and returned to the grassland for some time.
As soon as they returned to the factory, General Manager He immediately organized his own staff to systematically study the relevant theoretical knowledge they had learned from Deputy Chief Engineer Gao's "re-export trade". This took some time, but it was worth it.
When Mr. He, who was a student at the time, heard that the call was from the Third Steel Rolling Mill in Beijing, he immediately stopped the class without saying a word and went to answer the phone happily. Deputy Chief Engineer Gao must have something important to tell him, and it was most likely a good thing.
After answering the phone, Mr. He first complained: "Deputy Chief Engineer Gao, you haven't contacted me for a long time. I thought you had forgotten about our tanks."
