Chapter 307 A new chapter
Gao Zhendong is quite satisfied with his practice of selling "official refurbished phones" to foreigners decades in advance. Just tell him whether you want it or not. If not, I'll sell it to someone else.

But everyone was amazed by Gao Zhendong's tricks. Can he still do this?

"Is this appropriate?"

However, some people have figured it out: "There is nothing inappropriate. Clearly mark the price, be open and honest, explain the situation clearly and guarantee the quality, and lower the price accordingly. There is no problem, it's just Jiang Taigong fishing."

The head of the Foreign Trade Department also figured it out: "No problem. If you don't want to, you can just buy a new one at a higher price."

The leader of the Defense Work Committee had some concerns: "Will the domestic DJS-59 be enough?"

For this question, everyone looked at Gao Zhendong again.

Gao Zhendong began to write numbers on the blackboard in the conference room, explaining as he wrote.

"From the perspective of components, the easiest thing to feel is the quantity. Compared with the same number of transistors and integrated circuits, the latter can produce 60 to 59 times the DJS-5D as the former can produce DJS-10."

Once this comparison is written, everyone will understand what he means: "You want to replace DJS-60 with a large number of DJS-59Ds, and it's not even a 1:1 replacement, but there is a lot of surplus?"

There will definitely be surplus. Gao Zhendong does not recommend exporting DJS-60D because of this consideration. After taking it apart, you will see that we sold the chip to you. You just solder it and then sell it to us at a high price?

Here, the logic gate integrated circuit chip plays the role of a raw material, and the circuit is relatively easy to imitate. If one of the barriers of DJS-59 is to create trouble, DJS-60D basically has no such problem.

Once the DJS-60D is released, it is basically certain that it will be copied.

Gao Zhendong nodded: "Yes, the computing power of the two is similar, and the compatibility is very good. For most users, the two are basically the same, so this replacement will not have any major impact on users, but will bring a benefit."

"What's the benefit?"

Gao Zhendong pointed to the light above his head and said: "DJS-60D uses much less power than DJS-59. This is a very useful feature for most users. First, it saves money. Second, lower power requirements can also bring better reliability and availability."

He added: "For some places with very high performance requirements or inconvenient transportation, we will not use the replacement method, but the original DJS-59 will continue to shine, and the DJS-60D will only be used as a supplement."

He almost said something like "For example, in the desert". The computers and programs on the machines there cannot be messed with in this way. Every time you mess with it, it will be a huge loss of time.

Anyway, there are not many such units, so when you do the math, it is still very profitable.

Several leaders exchanged glances and agreed that Comrade Xiao Gao’s suggestion was feasible!

First-hand for personal use, newly disassembled in the computer room, free machine inspection, officially refurbished, clearly marked price, fair competition, low price, superior performance, official warranty, and it is an absolutely high-tech and in-demand product.

To be honest, if you were to sell this kind of good stuff decades later, it would definitely be snatched up in seconds by those script dealers once it was released.

The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade smiled and said to the 59th Ministry of Machinery: "Then I'll have to trouble you. You are the ones who know the number and whereabouts of DJS-. Please give us a list, and we will discuss with the Defense Work Committee to see which ones can be moved and which ones cannot be moved."

The leader of the 12th Ministry of Machinery nodded and said, "Yes, I will communicate with the relevant factories and see how many new machines can be produced and how many can be produced by both sides combined."

Although the results are still unknown, a rough estimate is that the replacement and new production will produce several hundred units within half a year. This has made the Ministry of Foreign Trade overjoyed. To be honest, before the meeting, even with the most optimistic idea, we did not expect to have this number. Although it has not been fully implemented yet, it is just a hope.

The leader of the Foreign Trade Department rubbed his hands in satisfaction and said with a smile: "I have to have a good discussion with these foreigners. As long as they are willing to follow Comrade Zhendong's suggestions, I think there will be a happy result for everyone."

The person from the foreign affairs department nodded and said, "We will also cooperate. Director Gao chose this person very cleverly, and the success rate is very high."

The Russians can't get these things themselves. It's not that they don't use transistors at all, but to be honest, the technology is just so-so, and they themselves don't take it seriously.

So they can't count on it. Now the only ones who can have this thing are the countries in the Oceanic Pact camp, and the only ones who can do things conveniently and are willing to cooperate are the Gauls.

After all, they have always wanted to restore their former glory, so they have always been wary of the yoked father and son, Citigroup and John Bull, and always wanted to go against them.

To put it simply, it really wants independence and it does have a little bit of independence. As for other countries in the Coal and Iron Community, they are all like grandsons in front of the Citigroup guys, so it's better not to mention them.

This is also the most important reason why jokes insulting the chickens are so widely circulated: in addition to the fact that they really played too badly in S2, John Bull and Citigroup have spared no effort to spread the jokes. They are the biggest promoters because they are always thinking about weakening the Gallic chickens.

But this is a good thing for us. If the enemy is united, many things will be impossible to do. We can make full use of the enemy's internal contradictions to achieve our goals.

The general direction was decided, and Gao Zhendong had basically nothing to do with the next thing. He just needed to discuss it with the leaders of several ministries and commissions. He and the two people from the computing institute listened and chatted at the same time. After everyone had discussed the matter, they adjourned the meeting and went back to work. The small meeting place was full of busy people, and they didn't have much time to chat.

However, when the meeting ended, several leaders smiled and shook hands with Gao Zhendong.

The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, in particular, joked with him: "Comrade Zhendong, I have to thank you again this time. Don't worry, I will give you a big award certificate by the end of the year, haha. By the way, if you have any use for things outside, let us know. We still have some ways and may be able to help you."

The leader of the Defense Work Committee laughed when he heard this: "Right, right, right, Zhendong, if you need anything, just ask them. You can't always cheat your father-in-law. It's not good for your family unity."

Gao Zhendong touched his head and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay. My wife doesn't care about this at all. But if there is a need, I will definitely not be polite to the leaders."

After all, the Ministry of Foreign Trade is a national ministry. Except for situations where it is inconvenient for it to show up, under normal circumstances, the energy and channels are not comparable to those of Zhenxing Electric Power. This is a bargain, so it would be a waste not to take advantage of it.

But when you think about it, it doesn't make sense. He's not taking any advantage, and he's not seeking personal gain. Gao Zhendong feels even more justified.

After the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade left, Gao Zhendong took the initiative to ask the leader of the Defense Working Committee to stay: "Leader, the technical conditions for the matter we talked about before are relatively mature."

What he said was something that had been mentioned before, similar to SAGE (North America's semi-automatic air defense command system). Of course, it is not necessarily an air defense command system. Given the current status of domestic air defense weapons, there are not many things that can be commanded.

But on the other hand, this situation is more suitable for existing technical conditions.

Firstly, we can better integrate limited resources and make good use of existing equipment, so that the few high-tech equipment on hand can be combined with traditional anti-aircraft guns to exert greater effectiveness.

Secondly, a small boat is easier to turn around. If you start to develop such a system in a complex and large system, it will be extremely difficult to develop and implement due to the high complexity of the object.

The specific decision, as well as in which field and scope to carry out the work, will still depend on the results of subsequent work.

The leader smiled and said, "I knew you were holding back a big move. With the performance and size of this DJS-60D, it really has the potential to be deeply involved in the front line."

Although he couldn't come up with professional terms such as "situational awareness" in the future, the leader was still sharp-eyed and saw Gao Zhendong's idea at a glance: if the tentacles cannot be extended to the front line, then this thing is meaningless.

Without timely and reliable sources of information and without situational awareness, there is no point in talking about semi-automatic command.

This information must not be obtained through traditional means such as shouting. It must be fully integrated with information technology and be able to automatically process data including identification, classification, statistics, forwarding, and analysis.

Now, the emergence of DJS-60D has completed the most important part of this concept. After all, for the command center, DJS-59 is not a problem, but for the front-end node, this thing is a bit inconvenient.

Gao Zhendong smiled and nodded: "You are right, this is what I have been waiting for. Without it, our reach is neither wide enough nor deep enough."

The leader of the Defense Committee said, "Well, your consideration is very thorough. In the early stage, our committee also did some demonstration work on a small scale, but due to the difficulty, quantity, method and other issues of intelligence acquisition and processing, we did not have the conditions to solve it for the time being and put it on hold."

He pointed at the blackboard. There was nothing in that direction, but he seemed to be pointing at the DJS-60D. “Now that this equipment has appeared, I see hope. Although there are still many things I don’t understand, this work can be pushed forward.”

In fact, what he and the relevant staff could not figure out was not the problem of the general direction, but too many vague technical details, which made it impossible to start the whole idea.

To put it simply: the technology is completely blank.

Now that he had a single-board computer, he finally saw something through the fog.

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Then I will wait for your order."

After saying goodbye to his leader, Gao Zhendong rode his bike home at full speed in a very happy mood.

If the DJS-59 solved the problem of whether or not there were low-cost, popular computers, then the emergence of the DJS-60D basically and completely solved the problem of the depth and breadth of popularization of popular computers.

At this point, the information technology environment envisioned by Gao Zhendong has been officially established. Every effort he makes in information technology in the future will be able to influence and help people from all walks of life, rather than only benefiting a small range of people.

If all his previous achievements in computers could only be regarded as improvements to tools, then now with the promotion and application of DJS-60D, information technology has truly taken off and can exist as a new technology and a new field.

This can be said to have opened a new chapter both for Gao Zhendong personally and for the field of information technology.
