Chapter 2996 Chinese Operating System
When Yang Xiaotao left the research institute, Han Sanfeng was still holding those two books, her eyes filled with seriousness.

Since Yang Xiaotao had spoken, he believed it was the outcome.

However, this result is still a long way from his goal, and there is still a long road ahead.

After listening to Yang Xiaotao's introduction, he realized even more clearly that in the development of computers, he and his ilk had only just begun, and there was still a very long way to go.

Fortunately, when Yang Xiaotao gave this result, he also let them know the direction of future development.

That means making computers smaller and thinner, with larger storage capacity and faster processing speed.
These are all research directions, but what he needs now is to do the work before the acceptance test.

"Three months, five thousand computers, that's no easy task."

Old Ye spoke up from the side.

Han Sanfeng nodded, "The production speed has increased a lot now, and the workers are becoming more and more skilled, so the assembly is getting faster and faster."

"Producing about thirty units a day is about right. If we add support, we can probably produce fifty units a day."

"It should be done in three months."

As Han Sanfeng spoke, Old Ye nodded, "We still need to arrive a little earlier and allow enough time."

Han Sanfeng nodded, "I'll make the arrangements right away, and at the same time, we will no longer accept any orders."

"Yeah, I reckon if our Dawn One thing gets out, those who bought Dawn One will come knocking on our door."

Han Sanfeng shrugged. "It's okay, we can just set the price of Dawn One higher when the time comes."

Old Ye smiled and said nothing.

But he knew that Dawn-1 was superior to Nine-Machine-1 in all aspects of performance.

If people really need a good computer, they are willing to spend more money to buy a good one.

"We still need to finish production as soon as possible so that we can free up time to produce Dawn One."

At this point, Han Sanfeng suddenly smiled and said, "I'm now quite eager to see what the result will be after Dawn One uses the Wei language."

"I'm looking forward to it too."

After they finished speaking, they laughed again.

The next day.

When the people from the Chinese Academy of Sciences arrived at the Ninth Department, Yang Xiaotao and Wang Can went forward to greet them.

The team leader this time was a middle-aged man named Wang Songping. According to Wang Can, he studied mathematics and had never gone abroad to work in China.

In addition, there were nine middle-aged men.

The ten people arrived at the Ninth Division without any nervousness; instead, they looked eager and expectant.

Yang Xiaotao briefly introduced himself to the group, then led the ten people directly to the research institute, where he introduced them to Han Sanfeng, Lu Tao, and others.

Conference room of the research institute.

Yang Xiaotao sat at the head of the table, with Old Ye and Han Sanfeng beside him.

There were not many people present below. In addition to the ten people from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there were thirty people selected from the Institute of Computer Science, the Institute of Game Consoles, and the Institute of Calculators.

This group basically includes the core members and elite staff of the three research institutes.

With so many people gathered together, it's hard to believe they're just having a meeting or a casual get-together.

After everyone sat down, they looked at Yang Xiaotao in front of them.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao was talking to Han Sanfeng. Seeing the look of surprise on Han Sanfeng's face, he knew that what they were talking about was probably not a big deal.

Sure enough, after the two reached an agreement, Yang Xiaotao began to speak.

His gaze swept over the crowd, and those who were seen straightened their shoulders.

"Comrades, I don't need to say more about what I want to do now that you're all sitting here today."

Yang Xiaotao spoke in a relaxed tone, and everyone looked at each other and then smiled.

"However, I still have something to say upfront."

"These words were said to the comrades from the Chinese Academy of Sciences who came to provide support."

Yang Xiaotao's two sentences made Wang Songping, who was leading the team, feel a chill run down his spine, and he straightened up a bit. "Minister Yang, please speak."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then said seriously, "Engineer Wang, I don't know if you are aware of the requirements I made to Elder Song."

"know."

Wang Songping answered affirmatively, "You said you didn't want anyone with an overseas study background."

Yang Xiaotao nodded. "So what do you guys think? Do you have any thoughts about it?"

Wang Songping glanced at his men beside him, then turned to Yang Xiaotao again and said, "We have no other thoughts. We believe that since Director Yang made this request, he must have his own reasons."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "You're right, I have my own considerations."

Then, turning to everyone, his gaze became serious once more, "Everyone here has been investigated before being allowed to sit here."

“Including Engineer Wang and others, your identities, family backgrounds, and personal resumes have all been investigated before you came here.”

"Therefore, I can responsibly tell every comrade present here."

"You are the most suitable people to complete the next task."

"Of course, many more people will join us in the future, but today, here, you are the first group, the backbone of the future."

After Yang Xiaotao's words, everyone felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from their hearts.

It felt like a heavy burden was placed on my shoulders, making it hard to breathe.

But ironically, they don't even know what they're supposed to do.

But it's okay, Yang Xiaotao will definitely tell them.

"Aren't you wondering right now what could be so mysterious about this?"

Yang Xiaotao smiled at everyone, "Actually, it's not that mysterious."

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Yang Xiaotao stood up, walked to the blackboard, picked up the chalk, and wrote six large characters.

As Yang Xiaotao wrote, the crowd read it aloud.

Chinese operating system.

When Yang Xiaotao turned around again, the forty-odd people below, their eyes filled with confusion, but also excitement.

"Professor Wang, you have been researching computer languages ​​at the Chinese Academy of Sciences for a long time. I think you should be familiar with these six words."

Wang Songping stood up from his seat, glanced at the six characters on the blackboard, and then nodded solemnly.

"Minister Yang, Dean Ye, Dean Han, and all the comrades present."

"We have been studying the Chinese operating system written by Director Yang for ten years, but we have not made much progress in these ten years, which can even be described as negligible."

When Wang Songping said this, everyone was stunned. They couldn't understand why it would take ten years to research a system. Wasn't that too exaggerated?
But Wang Songping is right here; there's no need for him to lie.

"Actually, the reason we came to the Ninth Division this time is to learn the 'Wei Language' designed by Director Yang, and then use the Wei Language to write our Chinese operating system."

"The reason we haven't been able to build this system before is because we don't have a basic framework like 'Wei Language'."

At this point, Wang Songping looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Director Yang, we originally planned to bring up this project after we finished learning the Wei language."

"I just didn't expect you to have already made all the arrangements."

He looked at the crowd behind him, then turned back and solemnly said, "The Chinese operating system allows us to operate computers independently."

"If we are using a foreign operating system, then the data inside is very likely to be controlled by foreign countries, which could lead to undetectable methods or the use of technical means to monitor our data."

"Comrades, don't find it unbelievable. Computers are developing faster and faster. The United States' spaceship that landed on the moon used computers. What's so unbelievable about that?"

"So, I think the reason why Commander Yang is so cautious and makes such a selection of personnel is because of safety considerations."

At this point, Wang Songping clapped his hands vigorously, his eyes filled with admiration.

Papapa

The room erupted in applause instantly.

Yang Xiaotao reached out and calmed everyone down. Then he said to Wang Songping, "To be honest, our Ninth Division had a plan for a Chinese operating system a long time ago."

"When we were setting up the white paper three years ago, we identified pagers as a key discovery." Yang Xiaotao nodded to the chubby boy below.

Little Fatty was so excited he almost stood up, wanting to tell everyone, "I work under Director Yang."

We are a project team.

"However, during the production process, we found that a simple pager was not enough; we also needed computer assistance."

"So we bought computers from the United States, but it still didn't work. The computers they sold us were obsolete. So we started developing our own, and that's how we got the 9-Machine No. 1."

"But it still didn't work, because pagers need to transmit text, so we continued to improve it, and that's how V Language came about. It gave us the ability to speak to computers."

"Now, we need a system that allows computers to speak Chinese, to speak Mandarin, and to understand what we are saying."

"So, everyone here, do you now understand your mission here?"

As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, everyone in the room shouted in unison, "Understood!"

"What is it?"

"Chinese operating system".

Yang Xiaotao reached out and clapped.

Everyone then stood up and applauded.

When everyone paused again, Yang Xiaotao looked at them once more and said, "Now, I will announce the management personnel of the Chinese Operating System Research Project Team."

"Comrade Han Sanfeng will serve as the leader of the project team."

This was somewhat unexpected, because everyone's choice was Yang Xiaotao.

However, he does not reject Han Sanfeng.

Han Sanfeng clearly sensed the change in people's expressions in an instant. Although applause broke out, the pressure suddenly increased.

If we don't do this well, it won't just be a loss of face, but also a crisis of trust.

"Deputy team leaders, Comrade Lu Tao and Comrade Wang Songping."

As expected, everyone applauded again.

"Dean Han will make the specific division of labor; I won't ask about it."

"I have only one request: to complete the Chinese operating system as soon as possible."

"Please, everyone."

Three days later, Yang Xiaotao put down his work and set off from Beijing for Dengzhou.

Accompanying them were Liu Lixue, who was traveling with them, and Secretary Guo, whom Old Chen had specifically mentioned.

The purpose of this trip to Dengzhou was to check on the progress of the nuclear power plant and the construction of the power grid.

Secondly, it's about repaying the money.

Indeed, under Dawson's persistent requests and constant urging, which even annoyed Li Rong to no end, she directly passed it on to Old Chen.

After considering it for a while, Mr. Chen passed the question on to Yang Xiaotao.

Considering the current situation, Yang Xiaotao figured the devaluation of the US dollar was about to bottom out, and waiting any longer wouldn't change anything. He might as well take advantage of the relatively low interest and pay off the debt.

So Secretary Guo came along this time.

When passing through Jinan, Yang Xiaotao stayed at Wang Dahai's house for half a day. What the two did was unclear to the people accompanying them, but when Yang Xiaotao returned, he reeked of alcohol, and everyone knew what was going on.

Then, when Yang Xiaotao got back into the car, he received a satellite phone call from Old Chen.

The content of the call was unclear to everyone, but judging from Yang Xiaotao's expression during the call, it was as if a child had been scolded by his parent.

Just when everyone thought Yang Xiaotao would "give a hard time," he immediately acted as if nothing had happened after hanging up the phone.

Liu Lixue privately remarked that he was shameless.

When the group arrived in Dengzhou, they were greeted by Director Hu of the Second Ministry of Machine Building.

However, unlike the Director Hu I met at the Second Ministry of Machine Building last time, this time Director Hu had a rosy complexion and was smiling at everyone he met.

"Minister Yang, welcome to provide guidance!"

Director Hu immediately grasped Yang Xiaotao's hand tightly, his eyes filled with gratitude.

The people from the Second Ministry of Machine Building present shared similar feelings.

If it weren't for Yang Xiaotao's intervention last time, it's uncertain whether they would still be able to work here.

Even nuclear power plant projects might fall through.

"Director Hu, you look great, you're in good spirits!"

Yang Xiaotao joked, then clapped his hands, "Seeing you like this, I feel much more at ease!"

Director Hu laughed when he heard Yang Xiaotao say that.

He then solemnly added, "Minister Yang, our progress is going very, very smoothly!"

"it is good!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "That's exactly what I wanted to hear!"

The two didn't say much, then got into the car and headed to their lodgings.

After arriving at their lodgings, everyone rested for a while before Yang Xiaotao and Director Hu went to the conference room.

"Minister Yang!"

After Director Hu and Yang Xiaotao were seated, they couldn't wait to start the conversation.

"The zirconium alloy we provided last time not only solved the reactor's protection problem, but also solved our reactor construction problem..."

Director Hu said happily, then rubbed his hands together, "Of course, it might take a lot of time and effort."

After saying that, I felt a pang of emotion.

Back in the Second Ministry of Machine Building, every project was conducted with extreme frugality, making every penny count.

It's nothing like it is now.

We've never been this wealthy before.

Of course, Liu Lixue and Secretary Guo were well aware of the extent of this wealth.

The money spent, if you include the construction of the power grid, has already caught up with the cost of the western section of the natural gas project.

After Director Hu finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao nodded and then became serious as well.

"Director Hu, there's something else I need to confirm with you!"

When Yang Xiaotao spoke, Director Hu also became serious.

Then Yang Xiaotao said, "We are about to launch a large project, and energy will be an important issue in the future."

"Therefore, I need you to resolve this issue as soon as possible and get the electricity back to us!"

"The sooner the better!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Director Hu immediately asked, "We have been working day and night to speed up the acceptance of various projects, and we are also continuously monitoring the situation of the reactor."

"The plan is to complete the power generation of Unit 1 by the end of this year. Now we are striving to complete the inspection before May Day and try to transmit power."

"But we still need some time with the power grid."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I will talk to Director Li about the power grid. Since you have set a deadline of May 1st, the power grid must be completed before May 1st."

"Power must be connected before May Day!"

Director Hu opened his mouth, then nodded.

He had thought that Yang Xiaotao's visit was meant to put pressure on them, but when he finally said those words, he didn't expect the pressure to be so great!
It's mid-January now, and there are still three and a half months until May Day. Time is running out!

Just as Yang Xiaotao said!

Power must be restored before May 1st!

Before I knew it, I had reached 3000 chapters. I only realized today how far I have come.

Time flies, damn it.
