January '79, Shanghai, restaurant.

Unfortunately, it actually rained lightly, and Da Li and a few of his buddies rolled in in embarrassment, cursing this ghost weather.

Cao Changjiu hurriedly stood up and gave up his seat and scattered smoke.

Da Li introduced to everyone: "This is my buddy Cao Changchang in Beijing, don't be polite." ”

"This time, I thank you in advance for your help, I really don't know what to do without Da Li. "It's also polite for a long time.

"You're welcome, everyone's own. Besides, your diagram is not complicated, everyone will work hard. ”

The dish is very fast, everyone doesn't talk nonsense, and the rice wine is served on the cold day, and it is still hot.

Cao Changjiu was very uninterested in this thing, and he was dizzy after two cups, and he really didn't want to drink it anymore.

They are all young people, they have nothing to talk about, and they talk about the story of Da Li.

It turned out that after Da Li and Cao Changjiu assembled a microcomputer together last time, he pounced on it all day and night, and made a little achievement, but he was a little slack in the work of the institute.

Director Mei was originally very blue-eyed to Da Li and deliberately cultivated him. I heard that Da Li is now passive and slacking off his work, and he criticized him fiercely.

Da Li was extremely aggrieved, not only was the toy confiscated, but also wrote an inspection. However, Mei was very appreciative of the original microcomputer he made, and gave him the Science and Technology Progress Award, and also held an appraisal meeting, which can be regarded as an acknowledgement.

It's just that the appraisal meeting in China at that time was generally a memorial service, and the scientific and technological achievements were basically locked in the cabinet and could not be formed into commodities.

The microcomputer dream is over, and it is at this time that he asks for help for a long time, and Da Li also concentrates on giving a long-term layout, dreaming that one day he can use a long-term CPU to assemble a computer of his own.

The brothers talked about the embarrassment of Da Li's microcomputer being confiscated, and smiled backwards, "You don't know the expression of this kid at that time, crying and mourning, begging Mei to kneel." Mei Suo is righteous and awe-inspiring, and directly dismantled that thing and returned to nothingness!"

Cao wanted to laugh for a long time, but he couldn't laugh when he saw it.

"But Brother Li is really a hero, and he single-handedly made a microcomputer, which made the people of the Automatic Control Research Institute envious for a while, and they all came here to dig people. ”

"That's, what kind of person is Brother Li, a top student in the Department of Electronics, just take out a little bit of knowledge! ”

Li Mengyang was embarrassed, "Don't even mention this stubble, the true god is sitting here today." Whoever mentioned me was in a hurry!"

Cao Changqi said: "The emotional Da Li has also been dug up!"

"That's it, Brother Li is amazing, the Automatic Control Research Institute has been engaged in microcomputer research and development for a long time, and now there is no result, our Brother Li is different, just do it casually, it's OK, and the automatic control institute is shocked. Mei Suo originally lost his temper and wanted to punish Brother Li, but when he heard all the meaning of self-control, Lima's attitude came to 180 degrees, and he would not let people go. ”

"Little Four, you can't say less, that microcomputer was made by me and Changjiu, don't plant it on me. Da Li really couldn't hang up, "Don't mind for a long time, they don't know about us." ”

"It's okay, I didn't do anything about this thing, just to give a rough idea, Brother Li, it's the result of your own research. Chang Chang smiled.

"Alas, don't mention it, there is nothing now, unless your CPU can come out for a long time, we can hope to make our own microcomputer. Da Li sighed.

"How do you say that? Just buy another 8080. ”

"You don't know, how can foreign integrated circuit products be so easy to buy, there are a lot of procedures, and there are approvals, and it's one thing whether people sell them or not. Besides, I watched, although your CPU has not produced samples, but the performance is definitely different, and 8080 is not an order of magnitude, the structure is simple, and the speed must be fast. I ordered it first, and if there is a sample, I will get a piece first. Da Li said.

"No problem, as long as you do it, you will definitely have it, but I don't know if there is a chance to do it yet!"

"What are you afraid of, your teacher is the director of the computing institute, what can't be solved, just put it in which plan and end it?" Da Li comforted him.

"Yes!" has long been confident in the performance of the CPU he designed, "Come and come and fill up, cheers for our own CPU to come out as soon as possible!"

"!"

The next day, Cao Changchang went to Mei with great interest to ask if he could design a sample of his CPU.

Mei looked at him in surprise, and then looked at the drawings, "Long time, you are a student of Lao Wang, let me tell you the truth, if you have any research topics that you can do like this, but if it is purely your own personal interest, then forget it, there is no future." Besides, do you know how much it costs to make a mask of an integrated circuit?"

Cao Changjiu shook his head, "I know it's expensive, but I'm sure it's definitely several times faster than the 8080 you copied." ”

"What's the use of even if it's a few times faster? What about software? There is no software, it's just a stone, you better go back for a long time, with your talent, you will definitely have a bright future when you do mainframe, there is no need to gamble your life for this kind of thing with an unknown future." May admonished him meaningfully.

"I ......" forget it, Cao Changjiu's personality does not allow him to be treated like this, and after being rejected, he left directly.

The time in Shanghai was not long, and after being rejected by Mei, Cao took the train for a long time without alarming anyone.

Along the way, Cao worked hard to think about his significance in this era, could it be said that the closure of the era must follow the rules of this era, otherwise he can only eat and wait for death?

I obviously have a forward-thinking design, but no one admits it, and it is really chilling to be said to be a thing with no future. However, it seems that the current microcomputer is not yet developed, the speed is slow, the price is expensive, there is almost no use, and no one is optimistic about it.

It's just that only this time is a good time to intervene, and it will be too late when everyone is optimistic.

Cao didn't have a good idea after thinking about it for a long time, and patted his head and felt that he was not this material, he thought that he might be able to make something technologically advanced, but he was at a loss for how to promote it.

After a few days and nights of sitting down on the train, Cao Changjiu did not go back to the calculation institute directly, but went back to Gao Tuan's house first. He felt that he hadn't been back for more than half a year, and he felt a little guilty every time he thought about it, but once he threw himself into the research, he forgot about it.

This time, he deliberately wanted to come back and brought a lot of souvenirs.

Gao Tuan's family was very happy to see Chang Chang, Gao Tuan's lover specially made dumplings, and Gao Hong happily flipped through the snacks in Chang Chang's bag.

Gao Tuan seemed to be very steady, but seeing that Chang Chang was very interested, he specially took out the treasured Fenjiu and said, "You are promising, and you have entered the National Research Institute." I've been asking for a long time, and I said it was a state secret, and no one told me where it was, but I wanted to die, little rabbit, next time I'm going to write a letter home. ”

Cao Changchang was suddenly embarrassed, he didn't have any feelings for Gao Tuan's family, who knew that people were worried about him, and he couldn't repay him, so he had to accompany Gao Tuan to have a few drinks.

Who knew that before staying at home for a few days, there was a problem.

One day, Gao Tuan came back in a hurry, grabbed Changchang and said, "Do you have a mentor surnamed Wang in Beijing?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"I'm calling from Beijing, Professor Wang has passed away, and I can't contact you, so I want you to go back quickly!"

"What?" Chang Chang was dumbfounded, and the king actually left silently.

I didn't say a word for a long time, and quickly took my things and left.

Gao Tuan shouted from behind: "Don't run, I'll find someone to send you back." ”
