Chapter 72 BIOS!!
"I will follow the factory's work arrangements, but I don't want the 20 yuan allowance. As a member of the organization, I can't add to the burden of the factory. I have no objection to anything else."

Gao Zhendong knew clearly what he should and should not take from the things that Deputy Director Li stuffed in his hands. His salary was already high enough, so there was no need for that.

I was just assigned here not long ago, and the salary of a level 8 engineer plus an additional 20 yuan allowance is not appropriate. As a member of the organization, I have this awareness.

When Old Chen heard Gao Zhendong’s statement, he nodded. This disciple has vision!

Seeing Gao Zhendong's firm attitude, Deputy Director Li did not try to persuade him much. He still admired Gao Zhendong's decision. Although he was young, he was not blinded by money and did not miss the most important benefits. Steady!
Seeing that the matter was agreed upon, Deputy Director Li and his men stood up and said goodbye.

The security director smiled and shook hands with Gao Zhendong: "Welcome Comrade Gao Zhendong to join our security work. We will not be polite to you if you have an important mission, haha."

Chief Li of the Training Department shook hands with Gao Zhendong and winked at him, saying "Zhendong, great!"

After saying goodbye to them one by one, Gao Zhendong closed the door and turned to sit down next to Lao Chen. He knew that Lao Chen must have something to say to him about this matter.

Old Chen said to Gao Zhendong, "I believe you can probably guess what I'm thinking, but I'll tell you anyway. It's a good thing for you to have a deputy section chief. You need this to do some things more conveniently. In addition, given your situation, we can feel more at ease if you have a weapon."

The word "we" indicates that it is not just Lao Chen who is involved. It seems that the factory leaders have discussed this matter a long time ago.

Gao Zhendong nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Master."

Lao Chen continued, "You did a great job not asking for an allowance. You are worthy of being a member of the organization."

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "This is what I should do. I have gained enough."

After leaving another box of tea for Lao Chen, Gao Zhendong returned to the office.

In the afternoon, the Security Department notified Gao Zhendong to pick up his things.

In the Security Director's office, after Gao Zhendong finished signing, Director Zhang of the Security Department handed Gao Zhendong two certificates, an object, and a booklet.

The work ID and gun license of the deputy chief of the training section of the security department of the third rolling mill.

Another thing is the gun. This gun is a copy of the big brother TT33, commonly known as the "Big Black Star". It has an 8-round magazine capacity. Although the caliber is 7.62mm, its power exceeds the common 9*19 Parabellum bullet. This gun is also equipped with two magazines with 60 rounds of bullets.

Wow, the struggle situation is serious, is this how they fire bullets?

Gao Zhendong couldn't put this thing down. A gun is a speed bump for men.

Director Zhang handed over the things and said to Gao Zhendong, "As for discipline, I believe that with your experience, you are very familiar with it and will implement it resolutely, so I won't say too much. This booklet is a compilation of the relevant regulations on factory security work. I'm giving it to you. Take it home and read it when you have time."

"But be careful with this gun. If you carry it loaded, it's easy to cause an accidental discharge. Don't load it normally. Just load 6 to 7 rounds of bullets. If it's fully loaded for a long time, the spring will become soft." Director Zhang, who usually says he doesn't talk too much, still gave a few words of advice when it comes to weapons.

Gao Zhendong stood at attention and replied, "Thank you, Director Zhang. I will pay attention to it."

In fact, this has no effect on Gao Zhendong. He must store his stuff in the storage room every day. That place guarantees that he will come out the same as he went in. The above shortcomings are not a problem for him. Director Zhang looked at Gao Zhendong standing at attention with admiration in his eyes. He is a capable general who can fight, command and train. Even though he is rarely used in normal times, this does not prevent him from admiring Gao Zhendong.

He was also a retired regimental-level cadre, and he naturally had a liking for top fighters and grassroots backbone commanders like Gao Zhendong.

He patted Gao Zhendong on the shoulder and said, "Well, Zhendong is good. That's all for now. Go and do your own work. We won't bother you at other times. But be prepared. We'll be working hard on your work, haha."

Gao Zhendong was also unambiguous: "As long as there is a mission required, I guarantee that it will be completed!"
-
Gao Zhendong spent the next few days writing books, programming, and adjusting circuit boards.

On Wednesday night, at Gao Zhendong's house, the windows of the south room were covered tightly with wooden boards, preventing any water from leaking out.

He looked at the pile of things connected by cables in front of him, rubbed his hands, and pressed the switch with a little bit of sacred feeling.

This is the first joint debugging of the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) of a transistor computer. BIOS is a term that all computer builders will be very familiar with in the future. What Gao Zhendong is doing now is very similar to that one, but there are some differences.

But by that time, this thing is generally solidified in the motherboard, and now, the BIOS code still needs to be powered by the battery replaced by Gao Zhendong so that it can be stored in RAM when power is off.

As a series of "beep beep beep" sounds of varying lengths and in an orderly manner rang out, the TV set gradually lit up.

In fact, it brightened very quickly, but to Gao Zhendong, it felt like the process took as long as a century.

The picture shook slightly, but finally stabilized. As the cursor jumped, letters and numbers quickly slid out on the TV.

26 uppercase and lowercase English letters, 10 numbers, common punctuation marks
In order to save storage space and display space, Gao Zhendong did not choose the 8*16 (width*height) dot matrix font commonly used in later generations, but used 5*7 (width*height) to display these commonly used symbols. Without considering the input and output problems of Chinese characters, it is sufficient for numerical calculations.

The ASCII code table used for storing characters has not been completely finalized yet, but Gao Zhendong knew it by heart in his previous life. As for data types other than characters, that is something that is implemented in loop guards and language compilation.

The resolution of the TV is about 320*240 (width*height). Gao Zhendong divided the entire screen into 25 rows and 40 columns, which is basically enough.

After all characters are output, the cursor moves to the next line.

"Input #:_"

As this set of Gao Zhendong's customized input guide characters were output, the "_" cursor flashed and jumped after the colon. This familiar command line style really made Gao Zhendong cry.

Six years! Six years! Do you know how I spent these six years? I have already passed away in my previous life, struck by lightning! Turing, I have mastered computers, and even von Neumann cannot stop it, I said!
While crying, Gao Zhendong's head was flashing with the famous lines of Zha Zha Hui in his previous life. He even felt a little crazy.

This was the first thing he had personally created since coming to this world that was so consistent with the concepts of his previous life, the first advanced technological product that accompanied him every day in his previous life, and the first thing that made him truly feel that the world in his previous life was real.

After venting for a while, Gao Zhendong gradually calmed down and began to input characters one by one on the keyboard. With the sound of keyboard tapping, the "_" cursor flew back, and characters lit up on the TV as the cursor jumped. No, it should be called a display now.
