Eighty-nine
It turns out that the Chinese are not lying, and there is nothing to doubt about this machine, the only explanation is that the Orientals have mastered the implementation of high-performance minicomputers, at least at the public level, and have surpassed American companies.
This is a big gossip that was spread by word of mouth and soon attracted the attention of various countries. For a while, the number of orders also increased sharply, and the people who bought them were also very miscellaneous, which seemed harmless......
During the five-day exhibition, the Chinese stayed only three days because they received an order from above to postpone the signing of a new supply contract.
The team leader was surprised, why did he suddenly stop doing it when business was booming, and he couldn't figure out the reason if he wanted to break his head.
It was not until later that this matter was revealed, it turned out that the Americans couldn't sit still, and the result of the field investigation was that the long-designed multiprocessor workstation had strong performance, and after comparison, it was strikingly similar to the machine represented by a Chinese businessman in the United States, but it was obviously better than the American thing, because the machine shown by the Chinese people integrated at least 4 to 8 CPUs in a chassis, while the machine that had just been launched in the United States only integrated two.
According to the data provided by the Chinese people on the spot, the theoretical performance of this "weasel" workstation (let's call it that, Americans like to code names for other products) has reached or even surpassed the small and medium-sized computers provided by IBM, and it is obvious that the cost is low, which is really a big threat.
The Americans have always been careful to maintain a leading position over other countries in terms of computer technology, and are deeply taboo about leaking technical secrets, and what can be exported abroad is either not copied or one or two generations behind, especially during the Cold War, and even Europe and Japan have difficulty getting the latest things, let alone the Soviet camp.
The Soviet Union has its own computer system, which is almost incompatible with the world, but its development is not slow, and it is only in the era of integrated circuits that it gradually lags behind, and the Eastern European countries that are dependent on the Soviet system are not good, and they can only drink soup when they eat meat.
As soon as they saw the performance of the "Weasel" workstation, the Americans could not wait to make contact with the high-level officials of China and threw out a series of baits to prevent "the spread of advanced computer technology from the East to unstable regions and cause an imbalance in the world situation."
Laos and the United States have drawn up an agreement, the basic content of which is that China will not export this multiprocessor computer technology to Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, and the United States will provide the opportunity to cooperate in the research and development of the world's most advanced computer technology as compensation.
The content is probably like this, as for the detailed terms, it is not something that we can glimpse the small people of Shengdou, and interested compatriots can use their imagination to guess.
However, in this way, the Chinese side is also indecided, Sino-US relations are in the honeymoon period, the bait of the Americans is very operable, and the future looks very bright, so there is a move to suspend sales.
The news was only passed on to a small number of people, but that was enough to cause a shock. What is the concept of Lao Mei's low-voiced plea for help? This kind of thing has not happened since World War II, and today the Chinese people have done it, and of course they have more face.
It's just that Lao Mei made a price, and everyone has different opinions on how to go next, some refuse, some agree, and some are ready to be yin, in short, it's very messy, but most of them are ready to accept this agreement, at least Huaxia didn't lose anything, but they can get a lot.
Of course, I don't know this for a long time, 81 years is when they are nervous, all the technology research and development is at a critical juncture, all kinds of technical difficulties are broken by them one by one, and even the patents they bring have also applied for a lot, of course, the technical staff only work, these inappropriate things are done by Director Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi felt that she liked this work more and more, although it was not in the same way as the old and rough taste of these continents, but the speed of the generation of a patent in almost two days shocked her deeply, even if she had never seen this kind of formation in a foreign company before. Zhang Yi is now shuttling back and forth between Hong Kong and the mainland, and she feels completely different, and with her vision, she can see the huge business opportunities after the successful research and development, how can this not make her excited.
The R&D team of foreign companies is just as desperate, but the purpose is different, foreigners are all for getting ahead, money and beauty (career love?), to say that the good thing is to realize the value in me.
As for Chang Chang, they are very strange, Chang Chang is a lazy person, and basically doesn't care about anything other than R&D work. The team is almost completely supported by a force, that is, to get the program-controlled switch out of death.
Zhang Yi understands this, and also organizes regular visits and studies, to the old area, to Hong Kong, a few comparisons, the gap will come out, and it is impossible for these angry young people not to work hard.
The country is still very backward, the great powers are still very cruel, whether the children and grandchildren will have something to eat in the future, it depends on whether our gang of men are desperate, this is the consensus of the R&D team.
Doing knowledge can be done behind closed doors, but engaging in research and development has to keep up with the situation, and you have to get some latest information every once in a while, otherwise you will have to suffer sooner or later. Zhang Yi did a good job in this regard, not only entrusted people to bring back many international scientific and technological papers from Hong Kong, but also kept in touch with domestic intelligence gathering agencies to exchange information and knowledge, which can be regarded as a contribution to the country.
Regarding the decision in 81, the leaders of the General Administration of Computing also talked to Changjiu, knocked on the side, and said that he was asking about Changjiu's meaning. After all, he has been the main developer of 0521 microcomputer and workstation for a long time, but now he has no official name, and it is unclear, and the leader is also worried.
Although the leader of the General Administration said very vaguely and did not mention anything about the agreement, he could guess a rough idea for a long time. It's very simple, no matter how stupid a person loses, he knows what to believe and what he can believe is a fart, isn't Yun Ten a stark example?
In the era of the long dream, Yunshi set up the project very early, and although it went through ups and downs, it successfully flew in 80 years. As soon as the big plane was born, it attracted the attention of the West, and all kinds of conspiracies and tricks came one after another, but it is a pity that the Chinese people have never been afraid of tough blockades, and the more they block, the more they have achieved results, but they are often always planted under the hands of their own people, and it seems that kindness is an original sin.
The indignant youths all know that Yun Shi carries too much hope, and the powers naturally can't stand it, this is different from suppressing Japan, Japan is a defeated country, and there is almost no independent power, as long as the West puts pressure on it, it has to give in, so no matter how fast Japan develops, it has to follow the will of the United States.
China is different, ingenuity cannot be suppressed, the blockade effect is very small, but the frustration is becoming more and more violent, and it gradually becomes a climate. Therefore, the great powers could only outwit and take advantage of the anxious development mentality of China and the innocent feelings that had never seen the market.
Unexpectedly, Huaxia really took the bait, and resolutely stopped his project that was only one foot away from the door and turned to the illusory cooperation with McDonnell Douglas, and in the end it was just empty of people and money.
History is always strikingly similar, and for a long time, the smell of conspiracy can be smelled from just a few words of the leader of the General Administration, not because he is naturally sensitive or amazing, but because the lesson is too heavy, and the process and means are exactly the same as the wounds of Yun Shi.
It's just that compared with the earth-shattering big project of Yun Shi, which is calculated in ten years, the cattiness of this matter is easier to see, because the development of computer technology is too fast, and the average speed of doubling in two years is enough to overturn any known advantages, and Lao Mei started from this aspect.
Throw out the bait of joint development or exchange of technology, first interrupt the promotion of your technology, this is a delaying strategy, and then use similar products to spread out the market, the first to start is stronger, and when you understand that it is too late to regret it, the cost of changing from one system to another on a large scale is really amazing, so losing the first hand is equivalent to throwing down the sword.
The Americans have a good calculation, the manufacturing technology of the workstation is not unattainable, with their research and development strength is very likely to be copied in the short term, even if the replication fails, with the development law of integrated circuits, two years later have to be reshuffled, all the advantages of China will naturally disappear, and the United States, which holds the integrated circuit manufacturing technology in hand, will naturally easily reach the top, let you wind and rain and I will not move.
The essence of this plan is the word "drag", like an elephant herder sitting on an elephant with a fishing rod with a banana hanging on it, and the elephant never gets to eat it, whether it is chasing after him or not.
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't help but write a long letter to the leaders of the General Administration, expressing my worries in detail and boldly putting forward a prediction, that is, if the country is ready to stop its own research and development and really take cooperation with the United States in the development of computer technology as a serious matter, the independent research and development capability of the domestic computer industry will collapse in less than two years, and it will be difficult to unite again at that time.
It's just that after this long letter was sent, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no reply. I didn't care about it for a long time, and I even maliciously thought that it was unknown whether this thing could really be conveyed to the upper echelons.
At least if you sow the seeds, you should be able to grow tenaciously, and I thought to myself for a long time, as if I had sown the seeds of weeds......
Anyway, the days have passed, research and development is still carried out, and the country seems to have increased the production capacity of microcomputers, and built a lot of factories affiliated to the Ministry of the Fourth Machine, which are specially used for large-scale industrial assembly line production of microcomputer tests, according to the newspaper, using domestic equipment.
This has been felt for a long time, at least now it is so difficult to buy 0521 microcomputer without the approval of the leaders of the General Administration, and the supply of various accessories is gradually sufficient. The General Administration of Computing has even organized several software trade fairs, and it is said that there have been several results, but most of them are small things.
In July of 81 years, the long-term research laboratory has successfully realized the trial operation of the pure digital program-controlled switch with 800 doors, although there is no finished product, the line capacity is relatively low, but it proves that the concept of long-term computer exchange function is feasible, and the future development goal is only to increase the line on the basis of this system and achieve more functions.
At this point, it has been much easier for a long time, and the soldiers under him have also grown up, and there are quite a few guys who have shown the style of a general, and they can also be independent in their respective fields.
This is what I want to see for a long time, you can't do everything yourself, and the iron man will be tired to death. However, now I don't dare to announce to the outside world that there have been phased results, the wisdom of the ancestors is not given in vain, if you don't come out, you will have to have suddenness, so that the opponent is caught off guard and killed with a stick.
The pressure has been reduced, and there is time to pay attention to the situation in the country for a long time. Fujian is still entangled with the Japanese, more than a year has passed, a lot of money has been paid, and people have gone abroad for training one by one, but there is not even a single hair in the things, except for the pictures sent one after another.
Huaxia's questioning of the Japanese has always received one answer: there is pressure from the American side, and we are coordinating, and we will soon have an answer.
It's just that no one knows how fast it will be, anyway, the initiative is in the hands of others, and you don't know it.
When I heard the news, I laughed for a long time, and even I couldn't tell whether it was a bitter smile or something, but I had to endure it, otherwise my things would come out before they were mature, and the Americans would definitely have a countermeasure. As long as a few embargoed projects are lifted in Batumi, their own research and development will have to be wasted.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be anxious for a long time, and I couldn't wait to get out the program-controlled switch of Wanmen Bureau overnight.
