A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

After saying this, Jiang Xia took a breath and looked at Senior Brother Yun Gui.

He would naturally be present when the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building was established.

Hearing his junior brother say this, Senior Brother Yungui organized the transistor computer content that Xiao Daimao had discussed with him before and followed Jiang Xia's train of thought.

He raised his hand, indicating that he would speak: "I agree with what my junior brother, uh, Comrade Jiang Xia, said."

"Overall, the advantage of the big yellow one is not its speed, but its convenience and maintainability, and most importantly, its size. I believe that's what Big Brother values ​​as well."

"After all, the core of a transistor computer is actually the same as that of a vacuum tube computer, except that smaller transistors replace vacuum tubes. If Big Brother wants to do it, they should be able to produce it in a little time."

"As for the computer peripherals that Comrade Jiang Xia mentioned, that's indeed a significant advancement. By the way, junior brother, we've corrected the circuitry for that external tape drive; it can now be expanded to have ten external tape drive interfaces!"

"The relevant positioning and verification functions are almost finished. Under the parallel interface, it can simultaneously locate ten points on two tapes. It's just that the response speed of the external memory is still a bit slow..."

Hey, you guys are really reliable! As for what Senior Brother Yungui said about it being a bit slow, that's only compared to a fully-fledged version of Da Huang. If you compare it to a paper tape machine, it's practically flying high!

A 2000KB magnetic tape, ten tapes combined, have a total of 20MB of space, enough to fit an operating system. Keep in mind that a simplified version of DOS is only about 1.4MB. With the addition of various serial interface drivers and programs, 20MB of space is more than enough.

With the support of two universal programs—DOS and GB/T-1994—20 years of experience was enough to easily defeat Microsoft and McBurney.

Jiang Xia smiled mysteriously after thinking for a moment. Were the conditions ripe? No need to worry about DOS. Thanks to some old machine from the future, Jiang Xia was quite familiar with the basic DOS commands.

The reason is that the machine, which seems somewhat useless to later generations, was introduced by a major factory in the 90s. It used the DOS operating system. This machine could only be turned on once every six months, yet it was essential for a certain process. It could be turned on once and then idle for six months, but its condition had to be maintained.

It's a bit awkward, isn't it? Jiang Xia thinks so too.

But now he is extremely grateful that he served that old man well for a period of time, and now he has put his experience to use.

Therefore, life is full of surprises!

As for GB/T-1994, that's the C programming language. Don't underestimate it; anything that becomes a GB standard is never simple.

Directly accessing physical addresses and performing hardware operations, along with portability, makes it more suitable for the current computing environment than object-oriented programming like C++. After all, current transistor computers are based on the 8008 architecture and are somewhat unable to handle the larger size of C++.

What's suitable is the best!

As for where the C language comes from? From the system store, of course. It's cheap, only around ten thousand points. I estimate that after the production capacity of centrifuges and excavators increases, I'll have enough by the end of the year. (As for how the points are earned, they're probably earned from producing related equipment. Don't worry about it, dear readers. After all, the system is like a man's post-coital mood. It gets exciting when you think about it, and then you're completely empty-handed afterward, right?)

(This patch was applied with such strong subjective intent; look, I've earned an extra two cents.)

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xia entered a rational state again. Just then, he thought of this. It was a rare opportunity, and it would be a waste of the Machine God's guidance not to copy it down.

@echo off

Hello, huaguo!

Break

Oh ho ho ho, one more!

PRINT “Hello, World!!”

That's right, since we're going global, it's natural to become "WORLD." I'm being so thoughtful of you all, using only English!

After listening to the speech by the senior brother from Yunnan and Guizhou, the esteemed elders were waiting for this little idiot to give a summary of the current situation. But when they looked, the kid had started writing and drawing again.

Seeing the two high-ranking military officers beside him peering in with great interest, the Minister of the External Affairs Department coughed.

"Writing notes again?"

"No, we can't understand what the kid wrote, but it seems quite important..." The Air Force comrade lowered his voice.

Although I couldn't understand what Xiao Dai Mao wrote, it felt strangely sophisticated.

"And you guys are watching so enthusiastically!" The Minister of Foreign Affairs was a little annoyed. When they were in the Ministry of Defense, these two guys weren't this unreliable!

However, the commotion at the scene meant the little guy didn't even look up to respond; he probably had some kind of inspiration. That's just how scientists are, the head of the external fascia department said, expressing his complete understanding.

Jiang Xia is now in a state of deep rationality. He knows what is happening in the outside world, but he doesn't want to pay attention to it.

Ha, DOS is too good, I don't even want to bother with you guys!

The Minister of Foreign Affairs beckoned to the senior disciple from Yunnan and Guizhou, "Go and check, the meeting continues..."

"Okay, boss! Let me share my thoughts!"

Teacher Pei Shu stood up and continued, "Before I begin, I'd like to ask the leader, has the elder brother requested a technology transfer?"

Hey, look, the questions professionals ask are different; they get right to the heart of the matter.

"No! They just want us to provide equipment!" The Minister of Foreign Trade gave the answer after carefully reviewing the memorandum.

Teacher Pei Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then there's absolutely no problem with exporting! The fact that they don't require technology transfer clearly shows that they don't value transistor computer technology. It makes sense, considering they have vacuum tube computers that are much faster than 'Big Yellow'."

"What I want to say is that the most important thing about our 'Big Yellow' is actually its 'idea'! Its advanced nature lies in sustainable development. Only through our iterative design can its systemic advantages be demonstrated!"

Oh, I see.

It's good to be able to continue developing. As long as the researchers are our people, we can keep leading the way!

"Okay, we understand the comrades' opinions. So, exporting is entirely feasible, right?"

After the introductions from his comrades, a glint of light appeared in the eyes of the Minister of Foreign Trade.

"40%, it doesn't seem like an impossible task. The big brother's side is flush with cash these days, so even if we have to swallow our pride and play the victim, it doesn't matter..."

The head of the outer department looked rather grim; he had more to consider than the others.

"Won't this raise concerns among the member states of the convention? As far as I know, we purchase a large portion of transistors and other such components from abroad!"

"If we sell them like this, can we guarantee the supply of raw materials for our own transistor computers?"

“Sir, I can answer this question!” Dr. Lan Ying raised her hand to indicate.

After receiving consent, Dr. Lan Ying slightly raised her head, her tone firm and resolute:

"can!"

"With our technological upgrades, we have established a complete transistor production line, with an estimated monthly output of 25 transistors."

"At the same time, our silicon single crystal preparation process has also been greatly improved with the support of Xiaojiang's new equipment. With the later ramp-up of production capacity, we are optimistically estimated to reach 35 units!"

"Based on this, depending on the different 'rhubarb' formulations, producing 30 computers per month is not a problem!"

"Great! I'm relieved! We have complete control over the entire process, so we're not afraid of being held hostage by the other side!"

Everyone on the platform clapped and laughed.

"That's right! Moreover, based on the theories and samples provided by Comrade Jiangxia in the early stages, we have also made preliminary progress in the further upgrading of rhubarb!"

As she spoke, Dr. Lan Ying looked at the little boy with the aloof hair: "You brat, the integrated circuit you've been longing for, Auntie has finally made it for you! Aren't you going to cheer? What are you still writing there for?"

"Hmm? Why are people from Yunnan and Guizhou watching so intently? I'm getting a little itchy to watch too!"
