Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

A regiment of soldiers entered the Northern Machinery Company and set up firing points in various strategic locations.

A large number of soldiers and security personnel appeared at stations and major transportation routes.

The next day at noon, a special train arrived there.

Seeing the scene outside the car window, the old leader shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Changsheng, Changsheng, I asked you to keep the secret, why did you make such a big fuss that everyone in the city knew about it?"

"Old leader, this is all for your safety..."

"Forget it, let's make the best of it now."

The old leader didn't hesitate too much and walked off the special train.

A large number of local military representatives and city government members stood on the platform.

Adhering to his usual vigorous and resolute style, the old leader said that there was no need for everyone to accompany him.

We went to Northern Machinery Company with a small entourage.

As we walked into the headquarters building of Northern Machinery Company, the old leader's smile became more and more intense.

During the years of economic reform, the old leaders would lead teams to visit various countries at regular intervals.

Let’s not talk about anything else for now.

Just the headquarters building of Northern Machinery Company has all the standards of a modern commercial organization.

Even compared with the headquarters of large commercial enterprises in the United States, island countries, etc., it is not inferior.

In the meeting room, the old leader said amiably, "Comrade Lin Kaifeng, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

"I heard that you launched a large satellite. I couldn't help but be curious, so I came here uninvited to broaden my horizons. Did it affect your work?"

Lin Kaifeng said: "The old leader came to inspect our work in person, which is not only an encouragement to everyone, but also an honor for our Northern Machinery Company."

Lu Changshun and Niu Yonggui, the company's second-in-command standing behind Lin Kaifeng, were extremely excited.

Never dreamed of it.

I was so happy that I could meet my old leader one day, and I never thought that he would take time out of his busy schedule to visit Northern Machinery Company.

"Haha, everyone, don't be so nervous. I am the guest and you are the host. How can you be more reserved than me, the guest? Come on, everyone sit down."

The old leader found a seat and sat down.

He made jokes to everyone in a friendly manner.

If the old leader does not take the main seat, others will naturally not sit in the main seat either.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, can you please ask the 'bride' to come out and show us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone smiled.

Lin Kaifeng stood up and said, "Old leader, please wait a moment. I will go and invite the bride in person."

After a while, Lin Kaifeng led three staff members and came to the conference room carrying several electronic devices.

"Is this the monitor you were talking about on the phone? From what I can see, it's no different from a TV."

Seeing the computer monitor in Lin Kaifeng's hand, the old leader made a joke with humor.

Say something.

Computer monitors are indeed a lot like televisions.

The shape is square, like a big brain.

The overall size is approximately 14 inches.

Unlike the TV, the monitor's casing is white plastic.

In addition to the monitor, Lin Kaifeng also brought a computer case, screen, and mouse.

After a while, Lin Kaifeng assembled the equipment together.

"Commander, leaders, I will now demonstrate the technical features of the new computer."

Lin Kaifeng started the computer while giving the introduction.

Three minutes later, a picture appeared on the computer monitor.

Lin Kaifeng tapped the keyboard to switch the screen to the drawing software.

Even if Lin Kaifeng personally joined the research, he was temporarily unable to change problems such as slow program startup.

Having said that, it still made everyone dazzled.

The biggest difference between new computers and traditional computers is that the operating functions have been greatly simplified.

Switching to the drawing software function, Lin Kaifeng continued typing on the keyboard.

"This drawing software is not only of great help to the Cloud 10 project, but also to the research of other technologies."

“It can draw various complex drawings and perform high-precision calculations.”

Professor Song, who was also in the conference room, walked to Lin Kaifeng's position and took over Lin Kaifeng's drawing operation.

Using two fingers, carefully tap the keyboard.

After an unknown amount of time, a new image appeared on the screen.

Wang Changsheng was shocked and said, "This is... This is the technical drawing of the Yunshi aircraft?!"

Lin Kaifeng smiled and said, "To be precise, it is a cross-section of a large aircraft."

The old leader put out his cigarette, walked behind Professor Song, and stared at the screen in front of him carefully.

"Sir, it is not only a drawing software, but will also become an important helper and partner for our scientific researchers."

"Through the mapping capabilities of this software, many technical issues that affect large aircraft research can be effectively solved."

"It can also be of great help in improving the quality of domestic CNC machine tools."

Lin Kaifeng seized the opportunity to link computers and CNC machine tools together.

The old leader said with emotion: "Although I am not a professional technician, I know a little about the development of computers."

"Scientific research and industrial innovation are indeed inseparable from the performance of computers. Comrade Lin Kaifeng, please give us more details about the other fields in which your company's computers can play a role."

Upon hearing this, Lin Kaifeng gave a comprehensive introduction to the significance and role of the new electronic computer.

Today's era is an era of great explosion in human technology.

Whether it is military product design or civilian product research, programming systems are indispensable.

Only computers with excellent performance can drive these programming software.

In this regard, Longguang Computer, produced by Northern Machinery Company, is already at the forefront of the world.

Computers are an indispensable aid in the development of higher-level semiconductor chips.

Taking this topic as an example, Lin Kaifeng mentioned three key factors that affect semiconductor chips.

Photolithography machines, chip design software, and chip production materials.

The three are closely linked and none of them can be missing.

Before Northern Machinery took over the semiconductor project, the relevant departments were researching very large integrated circuits.

There are many reasons why the project is unpopular.

The first is lack of money, and the second is lack of relevant equipment.

From satellites and space shuttles to refrigerators and televisions, all of them rely on the assistance of chips.

In the past, whether or not a country had mushroom bombs was a fundamental reflection of its strength.

So in the future development, whoever masters high-end chip technology will be invincible at the top of the world.

"Longguang Computer, Rongguang... Hehe, what a good name."

Lin Kaifeng's thought-provoking words caused the old leader to think deeply.

Entering the 70s, the role of semiconductor chip processors became increasingly prominent.

Based on the principle that those who lag behind will be beaten, Longguo's scientific research departments have gradually strengthened research in this area.

Limited by external conditions and funds on hand.

Semiconductor chip research has always been on the path of learning and imitating foreign chips.

This is true for chips and computers alike.

The large satellite released by Lin Kaifeng this time has given everyone endless imagination.
