Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2635: Developing Chinese Operating System

Forty-nine cities and nine departments.

Yang Xiaotao appeared in the research institute to watch the development of CNC machine tools.

As for the corn matter, it has been handed over to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. After the higher-ups learned of the situation, there were no other arrangements, so Yang Xiaotao returned to his job.

At this time in the conference room, Chang Mingjie was explaining the machine tool part.

"After these days of experimental exploration, we found that the precision required by digital machine tools is one level higher than that of Mercury machine tools. In specific manufacturing, there are 63 parts that need to be processed, and the requirements for each part are very high."

Yang Xiaotao sat at the bottom, next to him were Shen Rong, Liu Daming and other members of the research group.

“We have conducted a lot of compliance design for these 63 locations, and we have made progress.”

Chang Mingjie gave a brief report on the situation and the audience applauded.

As Chang Mingjie sat down, Lu Tao, as a representative of CNC, walked onto the stage. He swept his eyes over the people below the stage, especially over Yang Xiaotao, and an invisible pressure came over him.

But soon, this pressure turned into motivation.

In Jiubu, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will be valued.

Jealousy, envy of talented people, and sabotage, etc., as long as Yang's army is still in power, no one dares to talk about such things openly.

Even if you do it secretly, you still have to worry about being held accountable by Yang's army.

After all, compared with everyone present, Yang Bu is the best one.

Who dares to make things difficult for him?
Calming down, Lu Tao began to explain, "Our CNC team has made a preliminary design for the computer control of the machine tool. We are writing the control language by referring to the previous domestic data and the operating procedures required by the machine tool."

"In this regard, we have received help from the Computer Research Institute and the Calculator Research Institute, and we are making rapid progress."

Lu Tao finished his general statement, then raised his glasses and continued, "Regarding computer languages, we are organizing people to write them manually, but the workload is not small, and each language needs to be unique. In order for the computer to operate according to the input instructions, uniqueness is required."

Following Lu Tao's introduction, many people present felt confused, especially semi-illiterate people like Liu Daming and Hou Baowei, who could not even recognize all the characters, let alone get involved in such a high-tech field.

Yang Xiaotao had taken computer courses in his previous life and even learned C language in order to graduate from university, so he could understand what Lu Tao said.

However, the sentence is still the same.

The C language of that time may not be applicable here.

At present, domestic computers are not the integrated circuits of later generations. Now they are more of a mixture of transistors and integrated circuits. If you want to design the current computer language, Lu Tao and his team still need to do it themselves.

Besides, Yang Xiaotao has always wanted to develop a Chinese version of the computer language.

Thinking of his previous life when he looked at the piles of English letters on the screen, Yang Xiaotao felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Of course, he would not admit that he couldn't learn it.

Lu Tao also realized that most people present didn’t understand, so he decisively ended the topic and walked down from the podium.

Applause started again.

After it was almost done, Yang Xiaotao nodded and said, "Designing machine tools requires us to calm down and not be impatient or relaxed."

After saying that, he looked at everyone and said, "I have three requests for you here."

Everyone pricked up their ears when they heard this.

Then Yang Xiaotao said, "First, you must be responsible from beginning to end."

"I know that many of our colleagues here work part-time in other research institutes. I have no objection to this. After all, this is our current situation. One person has to be split into several roles."

"But what I want to say is that now that we have taken on this task, we must continue to do it."

"The person in charge of a task is not allowed to leave until the task is completed, unless under extremely special circumstances."

"This way, if something goes wrong with something you're responsible for, you can solve it yourself."

"Then there's the predecessor's fault, it's not my fault, I'm not sure, etc. These big ways of shifting the blame don't work."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, everyone present felt a tightness in their hearts.

Yang Xiaotao held up his second finger and said in a serious tone, "The second one is to strictly follow the requirements."

“It is not allowed to not do it, do less, skip doing it, omit the process, be lazy, simplify the process at will, etc.”

"I know some people think they are good enough and want to improve their methods."

"I welcome it, I am happy."

"But until the improvement method is confirmed, the regulations must be strictly followed."

Having said that, Yang Xiaotao looked at Liu Daming and others present.

Everyone felt Yang Xiaotao's gaze and felt a little uneasy.

When people get old, they tend to take advantage of their seniority or work based on experience. Even if they know it is wrong, they cannot keep up the energy, so they try to make up for it with experience.

In this case, of course, keep it simple.

Now that Yang Xiaotao had pointed it out, everyone's faces tightened and the tension in their hearts began to break again.

Because they all knew that what Yang Xiaotao said and what he didn't say were completely different.

If you don't say anything, everyone will acquiesce and pretend not to know.

But if you still do what I have told you, don't blame others.

“Third, quality control cannot be relaxed.”

"Every step must be strictly controlled. Director Shen, you must do a good job of this."

When Shen Rong was called, he immediately stood up and said, "Don't worry, Director Yang, we will strictly control the quality."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and then continued, "CNC machine tools are a blank field in our country."

“It is also a mainstream trend internationally.”

"For us nine departments to be the leaders is not only an honor, but also a responsibility."

"I hope everyone will keep honor in mind and shoulder responsibility."

"Contribute your own strength to the nine ministries, the revolution, and the country."

Papapa

The meeting ended quickly after the next arrangements were confirmed. Yang Xiaotao kept Lu Tao and the two sat at the table. Liu Lixue put down two cups of tea and sat aside to organize the meeting minutes.

The three requirements mentioned by Yang Xiaotao are not only applicable to machine tool research, but also to other research institutes.

"How is everything at home lately?"

Yang Xiaotao took the initiative to start the conversation and asked about Lu Tao's family situation.

After hearing this, Lu Tao felt a warm feeling flowing through his heart and gratitude appeared on his face.

If it weren't for Yang Xiaotao's "rescue" back then, their family wouldn't know where they are now.

Maybe, still working in the fields.

Maybe, it's the separation of flesh and blood.

"good very good."

Lu Tao smiled and replied, "My wife is now in charge of the housework at home, and the second child has also entered school."

"The boss is less worried now. He works in a chemical factory and can support himself."

“I am very satisfied with my current job.”

Yang Xiaotao could also feel the sincerity of Lu Tao's words.

"That's good. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt."

"No, it's better here than before."

Lu Tao quickly spoke up, "It's just that the children at home have grown up and have their own ideas. It's a headache."

Yang Xiaotao immediately laughed and said, "You only have two, but I have five, and I haven't said anything yet."

Lu Tao also knew about Yang Xiaotao's family situation. He knew that he had many children, but they were all small.

The oldest one is an adopted girl, who is only in the fourth or fifth grade of primary school. "Well, the eldest one has a job, and her mother wants her to get married quickly, but she doesn't want to, and the mother and mother have talked about it several times."

"You always come to me, what can I say as a father?"

"The second child is also a worry. He has fallen behind in studies and is always thinking about studying medicine."

Lu Tao started complaining that the house was a mess.

Yang Xiaotao laughed at first, but then he thought of his three daughters who would all get married in the future, and he couldn't smile anymore.

On the other hand, Liu Lixue covered her mouth with her hands and had a mocking look on her face.

"Okay, let's just let it take its course."

Finally, Yang Xiaotao said something, and Lu Tao nodded in agreement.

"There is something I want to say first this time."

When Yang Xiaotao got to the point, Lu Tao sat down and became serious.

"I hope you can write the CNC program system for this machine tool in Chinese."

Yang Xiaotao put forward his request, Lu Tao frowned, and then nodded.

In fact, no matter what form it is written in, it will ultimately be reflected in the computer as 0 and 1.

"Okay, it's a little troublesome, but it's okay."

Lu Tao thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Also, after we finish making the machine tool, we will also need to write a language for the computer. Similarly, I hope to use the Chinese version as well."

Having said that, Lu Tao's expression turned serious.

Yang Xiaotao picked up the water cup and took a sip. He had wanted to find someone to carry out this task a long time ago.

Unfortunately, there are not many people in China who are familiar with computers.

Han Sanfeng's ability is unquestionable, but Yang Xiaotao still needs him to take charge of the overall situation of the computer.

He will be in charge of the future supercomputers.

Liu Yongqiang and his colleagues are good at studying calculators, but they are still lacking in ability to lead the writing of such a large calculation theory and system.

Others may have this ability, but they are the treasures of each department, and the projects they participate in are also very important.

As for foreign aid, there is no need to think too much about it.

People from the Chinese Academy of Sciences won’t send it over because they have their own things to do.

So Yang Xiaotao could only develop computers while slowly looking for suitable talents.

Fortunately, the good deed I did last time unexpectedly paid off, and I met a math genius like Lu Tao.

Moreover, this guy has a high talent in computer research.

With such talent, why not wait any longer?
What's more, the investigation on Lu Tao has been completed during this period, and his character and personality are also qualified.

This made Yang Xiaotao determined to give him the task of developing the Chinese operating system.

“I don’t know how other people view computers, but I think that computers will become an important driving force for the development of future society.”

"In fact, our lives in the future will be inseparable from computers."

Liu Lixue was surprised when she heard this.

Lu Tao also showed a look of shock.

What is the mainstream development in today's society?
Different people may have different answers.

Farmers would say it is food production.

Workers would say steel production.

Doctors care about health and so on.

But if you ask someone to say that computers will become the mainstream in the future, I guess nine and a half out of ten people would not believe it.

The remaining half is skeptical.

But since these words came from Yang Xiaotao's mouth, the two of them had to think carefully.

After all, Yang's department holds a relatively high status.

Yang Xiaotao continued, "In the future, many computers will enter people's lives."

"So whoever can take the initiative in the computer field will be able to occupy the commanding heights in the future."

At this point, Yang Xiaotao changed the subject and said, "Nowadays, powerful world powers such as the United States, the Alliance, France, and Britain are all developing computers."

"They want to get to the front and occupy the high ground."

"At that time, think about it, how passive we would be if we didn't have our own language system?"

"You have to walk your own path, and it will become wider and wider!"

“Depending on others for development doesn’t work.”

When Lu Tao heard Yang Xiaotao say this, he thought to himself that if his grandson wanted to study computers, he would have to learn English letters first and use English letters to write language, and he became furious.

"Miss Yang, I know what to do."

Lu Tao spoke firmly, and Yang Xiaotao nodded with satisfaction.

Since we can build any computer ourselves, there is no reason why we can’t develop a Chinese operating system.

Although the operational theory involved is complex and difficult, someone has to study it, right?
We can't just do nothing and wait and see what the future holds.

"If you have any difficulties, you must tell them."

"Whether it's work or life."

Finally, Yang Xiaotao gave another reminder, and Lu Tao smiled and nodded, "No matter how big the difficulties are, they are over. There will be no difficulties in the future."

Lu Tao also knew that once this job was confirmed, it might be a lifelong one.

But he doesn't care, as he has dedicated his life to scientific research.

Moreover, being able to do this for a lifetime is in line with his values ​​and outlook on life.

The two chatted briefly for a while, then Yang Xiaotao got up and left, and Lu Tao went to work on the machine tool's digital control system.

Since we want to study Chinese operating systems in the future, we have to start early.

This CNC machine tool is a good opportunity for practice.

After leaving the research institute, Liu Lixue followed closely behind Yang Xiaotao, but there was still some doubt on her face.

Yang Xiaotao took two steps and suddenly stopped, looking back at Liu Lixue who was in a daze.

"You look so distracted, is there something wrong?"

Liu Lixue stopped immediately, then lowered her head and held the folder to her chest with both hands.

"Nothing much, just listening to what was said about computers, some of them are incredible."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao smiled, and then said with certainty, "Computers in the future will exceed anyone's imagination."

"It will be used in various fields, including life, military, medicine, chemical industry, etc."

"Now that computers are developing rapidly around the world, we must take the initiative to participate."

"Otherwise, if we miss this area, we will lose even more."

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao walked towards the office building.

Whenever Liu Lixue saw Yang Xiaotao leaving, she always felt sad.

But then I thought about what Yang Xiaotao said, and I began to doubt, "Are computers really that powerful?"

If this is the case, I have to "report" it.
