In order to do a shocking thing in the era of the software crisis, Lao Maozi used to use tens of thousands of people to write application software for a machine, or a planned economy, think about how spectacular the scene of tens of thousands of people programming together.

Zhang Chi is facing this kind of problem, they can't wait to learn from the same and make a personal victory, all the problems come from this long-term design of the microprocessor.

At that time, Zhang Chi just wanted to try to make it, after all, ten years of ** made everyone almost lose hope in domestic production.

I didn't expect the sample to come out at all, and the performance completely overwhelmed similar foreign products, which made everyone praise it.

However, due to the reason of "private work", it was inconvenient to promote it publicly, so the Lishan Research Institute had to make up a report to the Seventh Machinery Department, and a hastily held an achievement appraisal meeting was over.

Moreover, the technology of this thing is complex and the manufacturing process is demanding, which directly leads to a very low yield (in terms of 79 years of domestic technology, the best 4KDRAM yield rate at that time is less than 30%), and laboratory production cannot be applied on a large scale. Therefore, at that time, the internal resolution was only used for rocket (missile) control after being thoroughly figured out, and was used to replace imported products.

Who knew that this matter was inquired about by a reporter from a military newspaper who was collecting wind there, and this guy didn't know where to get some data, so he wrote a report and sent it to the internal reference.

It seems that this reporter is also knowledgeable and knows what the microprocessor is for, and the article greatly exaggerates the microprocessor codenamed 021, saying that almost any industry cannot do without it, CNC machine tools, censuses, scientific research, etc.

The article also listed a series of data to prove the gap between the earth machine and the foreign machine, before 021, no domestic computer can reach the international level, and the 021 processor is completely above the same type abroad, and it is incomparably cheaper, the conclusion is that China's computer level has entered the world's leading position, and the words of praise are beyond words.

Although purely from the perspective of theoretical performance, the long-designed microprocessor, that is, the chip codenamed 021 of the Lishan Research Institute, fully deserves these comments, but after all, it is a long-term experimental work, and there are still many things in it that have not been perfected, and it is 8-bit, which is still incomparable with those mainframes.

But the decision-making level does not care about this, no matter which leader reads these almost inflammatory words without passion. At that time, there were a large number of computer projects that required a lot of foreign exchange, and now I heard that there are better alternatives in China than foreigners, how not to be ecstatic.

At that time, people didn't seem to be as flattering as they were in the 80s and 90s, and almost all the imported projects before the 80s were for imitation (now it seems that the introduction is for use) and for localization.

As soon as the article was released, the Lishan Research Institute was immediately pushed to the forefront, and the old director had to meet the cordial care of a group of military bigwigs, and the theme was always one - 021 When can the troops be equipped, because it was mentioned in the article that the radar and command instrument of the Chinese army still use imported processors, and the domestic ones can only be replaced by small or large machines, and they cannot be practical at all.

This made the old director hurt his brain, quickly organized a group of people to tackle key problems, and made a military order, which will definitely be mass-produced as soon as possible. At the same time, Dian Ling also sent a prototype to Zhang Chi in Shanghai, and invited the designer of the processor to participate in the development as soon as possible.

It's just that Zhang Chi has lost his long-term contact at this time and can't do anything. When the old director learned the news, he had no choice but to ask for help from the Seventh Machinery Department, and temporarily transferred a group of professionals across the country to form a research and development team, including Li Mengyang.

Although these transfers were not so willing, under the call of the motherland's righteousness, they lived up to expectations and soon completed the finished microcomputer in four months.

It's just that the hardware is out, but the long-term RISC design that is completely ahead of the times has made software personnel suffer, and everyone knows the real performance of 021, but it's not the same thing to program it, and it can't achieve the desired effect.

Seeing that the leaders' urging orders came one after another, the research and development team was very busy. I don't know who mentioned that he had worked on compilers and operating systems in the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences a long time ago.

In the computing institute, the 757 project is still ongoing, but it is not as orderly as it was when Wang was there, the research direction is messy, there is no unified command, and the progress is extremely slow.

Zhang Chi has made great gains in computing, and the source code of the long-term operating system and compiler still remains. Zhang Chi decided to immediately bring these precious materials back to Lishan, but he received a call from the research institute, informing him that he would not come back for the time being, and that all the members of the research and development team would move to Beijing.

Zhang Chi was shocked and hurriedly asked what was going on.

It turned out that the leaders came to inspect the Lishan Research Institute and asked them to see the progress of computer research by name.

Fortunately, at this time, the original hardware development of the comrades has been completed, and they have the appearance of a computer, which can be regarded as an explanation.

Leaders who are accustomed to seeing mainframes and minicomputers do not believe that the television-like thing on the table is a computer, almost smaller than a tube radio.

The staff of the R&D team showed the leaders the completely immature software, which won the praise of the leaders, which made them really ashamed.

The leaders also asked how the computer was performing, and the research and development team had to report a theoretical figure, comforting themselves that they were not lying.

The entourage of the inspection team wrote down the data, and the leaders announced a task, which turned out to be a plan for computers to enter the sea.

The so-called plan to enter the sea is to let Zhongnanhai computer transformation plan, to put it bluntly, the office of the state leader should also be computerized, and it will be completed by the end of the year, and all of it will be localized.

This can make the old director's scalp explode, but he knows the progress of the current research and development team, and immediately said that the institute resolutely accepted this glorious task, but said that the current strength is insufficient and cannot be completed as scheduled.

The leaders also immediately said that the task must be completed as scheduled, overcome all difficulties, find an organization if there is difficulty, and give priority to all resources.

Moreover, the leaders also said that if the plan to enter the sea is completed well, there will be a bigger, more glorious, and more arduous task waiting for them below, which can be said to be a major event that will leave a name in history. However, when the old director asked no matter how much he asked, the leaders didn't say anything.

There was no way, so I had to do it according to the leader's wishes, and all the personnel of the research and development team were moved to Beijing, and the project was officially funded by the state, codenamed 0521 project, and more colleges and universities and research institutions joined it, which were the main body, peripherals, software and other supporting facilities of the 0521 microcomputer.

At this time, Zhang Chi, who was still living in the calculation, met Cao Changjiu, who he had been thinking about for a long time.
