Chapter 98 You are from our computing institute, right? (Fifth update)

The leader walked to the computer and reached out to touch the monitor, but then stopped, turned around, and asked Gao Zhendong: "Can I touch it?"

Gao Zhendong nodded: "The monitor is fine."

The leader touched the monitor very carefully, with a look of innocence and satisfaction, like a child getting candy. Then he quickly pulled his hand back and just looked at the entire set of equipment with a satisfied look, as if he was very happy just to touch it.

Soon, the leader put away his emotions, turned around, held Gao Zhendong's hands with both hands, and shook them twice: "Comrade Zhendong, on behalf of many people, thank you."

The meaning of who these many people are is self-evident.

"Thank you, leader. I'm just doing my best." Gao Zhendong was not very humble. He was able to accomplish this result by himself. Being too humble would seem fake.

At this time, someone else came outside the door. The militia on guard verified the person's identity and brought him in.

Technical experts from the 12th Ministry of Machine Building arrived, including the director and chief engineer of the Computing Institute of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building.

When these two experts received the notice from the 12th Ministry of Machine Building and the urgent document forwarded from the 17th Ministry of Machine Building, they were confused and stupid, and cursed in their hearts that this was a lie.

Are you kidding? A fully transistorized computer. Our Institute of Computing has gathered the whole country's strength and the hard work of hundreds of top talents in the field, and we have only just now almost mastered the use of vacuum tubes.

Then you told me that one person from the 17th Ministry of Machine Building invented a fully transistorized computer? And by the way, he also invented a bunch of other amazing things.

If you are bragging, can you at least have some sense? This is impossible!
It is indeed impossible, but what can be done? Gao Zhendong is cheating.

Although I had some complaints, I had no choice but to come when I saw that the leaders from the 17th Ministry of Machine Building had gone there overnight. No matter what the result was, our Institute of Computing had to correct its attitude.

Anyway, the department has sent a car, so let's go. It's just staying up all night. Who hasn't stayed up all night when work is busy? There's nothing to be afraid of.

With this kind of "I don't believe it, but I can't be impolite" mentality, the two got in the car and rushed to the courtyard. Fortunately, the computing centers were basically in one courtyard, so they were able to pick up both of them in one trip.

With the idea of ​​just showing up, the two men walked into Gao Zhendong's heavily guarded house. After a brief introduction, the two men walked into the south room.

When the two saw the transistor computer for the first time, they were stunned and couldn't take their eyes off it.

artwork!
The two didn't know what the requirements for a work of art were in the eyes of artists, but in their eyes, this was a work of art, a true industrial art piece, the most advanced electronic industrial art piece.

The teasing, suspicion, jokes and even a little bit of sarcasm that the two of them had privately exchanged on the road all disappeared in front of the little guy in the house at this moment.

As if understanding their shock, or perhaps having gone through the same psychological process from surprise to joy, the leader did not alarm them. Instead, he quietly watched them stare at the system in a daze, their thoughts wandering.

After a long while, the two turned their heads and said excitedly, "Engineer Gao, can you introduce him to us?"

Gao Zhendong then took out his complete set of handwritten instructions for transistor computers and began to introduce them to them.

During Gao Zhendong's introduction, the emotions of the two people continued to rise and reached a climax.

As technical personnel at the top of the pyramid in the field of computers in China, the director and chief engineer of the Institute of Computing saw things more deeply than the leaders of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building.

They knew very well what an amazing thing Gao Zhendong had created.

Visual input and output can benefit every existing computer in the country.

A self-contained, sustainable architecture is the future.

A fully autonomous machine instruction set and a matching assembly language. Assembly programming is much more convenient than machine code. Even if punching is still required after programming, assembly is much more efficient than machine code.

In addition, the integrated development environment consists of a completed loop watchdog, a code text editor, an assembly compiler, and a common mathematical toolkit.

That's right. In their minds, this is a powerful integrated development environment. The term "minimalist integrated development environment" introduced by Gao Zhendong was automatically omitted by them. Minimalist? Nonsense, you call this minimalist, then what are we using now?
All of this, some of which I had never even dreamed of, now appeared before me in all reality.

At this moment, the two even had an impulse - Engineer Gao, come here, come and sit in my seat.

When Gao Zhendong started to demonstrate the program, the two people who were shocked by the first time said "Ni Hao, Shi Jie!" and said something that made Gao Zhendong dream back to his past life. The director said: "This program must be learned by everyone who studies computer science in China in the future."

Chief Engineer: "Yes, there are still exams to be taken. When did this sentence first appear? Oh, yes, what day is it today? Write it down, it means a lot."

Gao Zhendong was happy. I would like to thank you on behalf of all future students majoring in computer science. What? This is a free question. What? This question originated from me? That's fine.

When Gao Zhendong opened the compiled computing speed benchmark test program, the two of them waited anxiously for the program to finish running. Looking at the final test results, they were stunned. It was really comparable to or even better than the best domestically produced vacuum tube machines.

Although the overall performance varies due to word length, not all operations require a word length of more than 30 bits. Through reasonable programming, this machine can also perform 32-bit word length operations. Even if it is a little slower, it is much better than a bunch of people waiting in line for the operation.

With this in mind, the chief engineer of the computing institute asked a very important question: "How much does the device cost?"

I didn't ask about the working hours. For this thing, the first thing to worry about is the technology, and the second is the cost of the components. What are the working hours?

Gao Zhendong calculated that transistors cost about 6000 yuan each, and there were more than 15 transistors, plus other things. He said a number that almost made the three people present stumble: "Probably between 17 and ."

"How much?" the three asked in unison.

Gao Zhendong repeated it again.

There was a long silence at the scene. How much did a domestically made second-generation electronic tube computer similar to this one cost? 200 million!
Not to mention the running costs, this thing saves a lot of electricity compared to that one.

The director of the computing institute grabbed Gao Zhendong's shoulders and said, "Mass production, right now! You are now a member of our computing institute."

The leader of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building coughed lightly and said, "Comrade, don't go too far."

Upon hearing this, the director added awkwardly: "Borrow it, borrow it, haha."

Then the leader turned to Gao Zhendong and asked, "You can't pay this money by yourself, right? Do you have any difficulties?"

When Gao Zhendong heard this, he felt sleepy, and here came the pillow.

When this matter reached the ears of the leader at this level, it was basically considered a success.

He smiled embarrassedly and said it again: "My girlfriend's family has some money and is quite supportive of my work, hehe~~~~~~"

The three people present: "Huh?", that's good enough, young man.

Gao Zhendong added: "My girlfriend's father was a shareholder of the Third Steel Rolling Mill before the joint venture. His surname is Lou. Although he didn't know what I was doing, because I was quite famous in the steel rolling mill, he believed that what I was doing was beneficial to the country and the people. He supported me very much in my personal scientific research."

The leader of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building knew Lou Xiaoe's father and laughed: "He used to support the war of resistance, and now you are pulling him to support the construction of a new society. Hahaha, you have a good date."

With the leadership, the director of the computing institute, the chief engineer, Deputy Director Li, and General Manager Chen, the story of how Lou's father's clever plan to pacify the world, but lost his daughter and his army, was spread.

The leader was concerned about Gao Zhendong's health again: "It must be very hard for you to weld so many components by yourself. You should take care of your health."

Gao Zhendong shook his head: "Not hard, not hard. I invented a little thing that makes welding work quite convenient and fast."

The three people nearby looked at him and said, "You're not done yet, are you? While you're dealing with the big stuff, you still don't forget about the little inventions?"
