Chapter 451 Paying Money to Become an Official
He knew that a big problem had occurred, even a matter of right and wrong, and this problem was pointed out by Gao Zhendong by citing classics, with the leaders of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building sitting next to him. He was doomed.

Gao Zhendong did not give him any chance to turn the tables. Without even waiting for him to continue speaking, he hammered home the truth: "Comrade, this kind of thinking of yours is unacceptable. You are seriously selfish. Who says that we cannot point out your problems if they are not your specialty? If the string of struggle is not tightened, the enemy's desire to destroy us will never die!"

He didn't even say that the other party looked down on the working people and believed that they could not master historical knowledge through learning. Such words were too direct and the intention was too obvious, which would easily arouse others' disgust.

Generally speaking, Gao Zhendong would not be so overbearing. Once, during a technical meeting, some young comrades in a certain unit contradicted him due to their immature personalities, but he did not take it seriously and just gave them a beating on the spot. Afterwards, he even extended a hand to protect them, and regardless of past grudges, he sent people to help research new equipment and helped the unit complete the technical transformation task.

But this time it's different. This incident doesn't affect him alone. The sooner this crappy translator is turned around, the better. Gao Zhendong will definitely do his best to crack down on anyone who tries to influence this process!

On the other hand, the leaders of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building highly appreciated Gao Zhendong's words. Look, Comrade Gao Zhendong not only has strong technical skills, but also has strong ideas.

Moreover, he fully agreed with Gao Zhendong's words. Like some comrades, he knew that there were big problems with the word dragon, but he could not find a good explanation for it at the moment. Moreover, this translation was the one currently in use, so he could not say anything.

Gao Zhendong's remarks not only raised objections, but also put forward solutions, and pointed out the translation that should be used. His remarks were well-reasoned and the solution was perfect.

The person who mentioned dragon was simply digging a hole for himself. If this disgusting translation was decided at the meeting in which he personally participated, he would not be able to sleep even if he thought about it. Wouldn't he be laughed at by the public for the rest of his life? No! Even for several lifetimes!

Thinking of this, he felt more and more that Gao Zhendong did a good job, did it brilliantly, and what he said made a lot of sense.

Damn it, if you can't translate, don't make random suggestions. You almost got yourself into trouble! You have no skills, don't listen to advice, and have low ideological awareness! The leader looked at that person without any emotion.

The man who had flattered the horse's leg was sweating profusely and his face was pale. He felt a little relieved when he saw that the leader did not look at him angrily.

However, he may not have thought of one problem. When it is clear that you have offended someone to death, if he looks at you with anger, then the matter may still be negotiable, and you have to find a way to make him calm down.

If the look in his eyes when he looks at you is expressionless, then it's over, there's basically nothing to talk about.

The leader glanced at him, then turned back and looked at the whole audience, with a friendly smile on his face again: "Comrades, Comrade Gao Zhendong's suggestion is good! No need to discuss it, the English and Russian translations are settled, Loong, Luong, very good!"

At this point, the leader also showed off his Russian and improvised the Cyrillic version of "Loong" on the spot.

Everyone applauded, partly because of the leader's words and partly because of Gao Zhendong's performance.

Gao Zhendong's translation is not faithful, accurate and elegant, after all, it is translated into English. John Bull doesn't care about this either, they have their own interpretation.

But at least it is appropriate, reasonable, has a high starting point, has no problem with the use of allusions, and it is not a bad translation like dragon.

When things got to this point, the world's first proper computer operating system could be said to have been born.

Of course, multiprogramming already existed at that time. In Gao Zhendong’s previous life, this thing was also classified as an operating system, the most basic one.

But unfortunately, Gao Zhendong, who was the first to propose the concept of operating system and come up with such a complete operating system, and our country has the right to define it. He said that it was the predecessor of the operating system, not an operating system, so it is not.

Why are the leaders of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building so excited? They are here for the first place in the world. Don’t say they like the reputation. This is the first of its kind in the computer industry. Anyone would be eager to be the first to take the lead.

Moreover, this incident also brought about a small derivative impact.

"In addition to announcing the official birth of the operating system, this conference also achieved a small success. Under the impassioned speech of Comrade Gao Zhendong, the participants reached a consensus and spread it after the meeting, successfully dispelling the bad translation of the dragon, the first auspicious animal and the embodiment of the nation, and using the word 'Loong' instead."

This is a little anecdote that is basically mentioned every time the history of the development of computer operating systems is discussed in China.

It's no wonder that computer scientists always bring this up. This is a killer weapon to enhance their professional pride. No matter which major they choose, if they can fight monsters across servers, they will talk about it every day.

Just when everyone was making a strong request for training, the leader of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building turned around and said a few words to his secretary.

"Some comrades should strengthen their ideological learning and improvement. You will deal with this matter later."

Gao Zhendong pretended not to hear and just happily watched Director Li and Chief Engineer Chi arguing with the comrades who requested training.

Fortunately, the Institute of Computing has conducted a lot of this kind of training and is familiar with it.

After a while, the leader of the 12th Ministry of Machinery patted Gao Zhendong on the shoulder and said, "Zhendong, thank you for today."

Gao Zhendong was puzzled. I just asked you to come up with a name. It shouldn't be that serious.

He didn't know what to say, so he just laughed and said, "You're welcome." "Don't go far away during this period. I think there will be a meeting for this thing, and you must not be absent."

Gao Zhendong agreed, then got in the car with his three fellow apprentices and drove back to the factory.

Sitting in the car, the three junior brothers and sisters had stars in their eyes all the way. Senior Brother Gao is our role model. It would be great if we could have a little bit of his abilities one day.

As for the three or five cost matters, they dare not even think about it. There are too many of them, they are full!
After work, Gao Zhendong rode his bike back home happily. When he was parking his car, Liu Haizhong also pushed the bike into the yard with a happy look on his face. The old guy was even humming a song.

Seeing Gao Zhendong parking his car, he was startled, stopped and greeted, "Hello, Director Gao!"

Different people call Gao Zhendong differently. We can tell a lot from this name, which is quite interesting.

Gao Zhendong responded with a smile: "Master Liu, it seems like there is something happy. You look so happy."

Ever since I broke both of your legs, it's been a long time since I saw you greet me with such a heartfelt smile.

"Hey, seeing the social construction is thriving and the factory's production tasks are completed well, I feel refreshed." As soon as Liu Haizhong opened his mouth, people who didn't know him would think that he was at least a factory director. Ordinary people would be happy to see these, but they would not usually talk about them. Even the factory director or one's own master would not say this in a normal conversation.

It seems that the transition from worker to employee has been successful, and the tone is immediately different, but it's a little too much.

"Well, your awareness has improved, not bad!" I just said this casually. It doesn't cost any money, so I just said it casually.

Liu Haizhong was like hearing a heavenly sound, which instantly threw all the bad things about Gao Zhendong out of the window.

"He praised me, the director praised me!" For a moment, this was the only thought in my head.

When he came to his senses, Gao Zhendong had already walked in.

Liu Haizhong spat at himself in his heart, "What a shame!" How could he be so confused by a compliment?

He pushed the car back home, locked it, sat down next to the radio, and with a beaming look in his bangs, he called out to his wife in high spirits, "Pour me some water!"

When his wife saw him like this, she knew he was in a good mood today, so she quickly poured him some water and said, "Lao Liu, is there something good going on?"

Liu Haizhong took the water and was so eager that he didn't even wait to finish it. He drank it while saying, "I've been transferred from an employee to a civil servant! Administrative level 23!"

He was talking and drinking water at the same time, and the water droplets sprayed everywhere.

His wife was very happy at first: "Ah, it really worked? It seems that your hard work as patrol leader has finally paid off."

She was so happy, firstly for Liu Haizhong, and secondly, Liu Haizhong's wish, which he called "a lifelong mission", was finally fulfilled. He could be quieter at home. At least he wouldn't dislike the second child today and beat the third child madly tomorrow.

She was just thinking too beautifully. Liu Haizhong had a bad temper and would still fight when he wanted to. Moreover, he had transferred to the administrative position and would not be able to climb up for a long time, so the resentment in his heart would be no less than it is now.

But she was happy for just a few seconds when she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Although she doesn't work, she is also a worker's family member. There are many people from the factory living in this yard, and she hears a lot about this every day.

"Lao Liu, you are transferred to administrative level 23, so what about your salary? Or will you remain as a level 7 worker?"

"You're also being transferred to administrative level 23. What good things are you thinking about?" Liu Haizhong said unhappily. He felt it was a pity about this matter, but his expectation of becoming an official still suppressed his desire for money. It must be said that in this regard, Lao Liu is a pure person.

"How can that be possible? 84 yuan for a level 7 worker, how much is an administrative level 23? It can't be that high, right?"

“49 yuan!”

"Lao Liu, you're going to lose a lot of money! No! We're short of 45 yuan. How can 2 yuan be enough for a family of so many people? How can you fill such a big gap?" His wife refused to accept it. You can be an official, but how can you pay money to be an official, and so much at that.

"You woman, you have long hair but little knowledge! How come you don't have any awareness at all? No matter how much money you have, can it help you better serve the people? Don't nag about this matter anymore, it's settled!"
