readx;?“ Had a lazy night's sleep, I was late. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Ranni stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and she was greeted by laughter from everyone in the interest group.

In the eighties, what could stop the laughter of the carefree young workers?

"Ranni, come on, we just solved the problem of memory overflow, and we are going to run a big program. ”

"It was the heavy machinery factory that came to me last time, and I wanted to ask our factory to develop a calculator that can calculate finite element analysis. The factory didn't take it seriously, but Song Gong from the heavy factory privately approached us. It just so happens that I think this calculator must have done it. ”

"Finite element analysis is not simple, our memory is only 10k, can we do it?"

"Do the math!"

Ran Ni hung her satchel on a row of hangers at the door, and walked over with a smile: "LH5801 can definitely be considered a finite element, but the space of our memory is small, and the program must be carefully considered." ”

"We've been discussing it all morning, and we've made sure that not a single letter of space is wasted!"

"Hey, I heard that computers in the United States already have 1M of memory. Oh, my God

How comfortable it is to use 1M of memory!"

It is a birch table three meters long and one meter wide, and the rough style does not have much decoration. The table top is only brushed with a layer of tung oil, and the nail caps are still clearly visible. The original sharp edges and corners have long been polished smooth in long-term use.

The table was neatly and littered with all sorts of electronic parts, and a second-hand TV with its back lid open to act as a monitor, attached to a very irregular motherboard. If you read it right, the motherboard is also connected to an ATARI-CVS console, which is heavily outdated as a display output.

At the other end of the motherboard is a huge tape recorder, which is the hard drive for the entire calculator. Tape storage is hard to come by, and a tape is worth at least one-tenth of the monthly wages of these young workers.

On top of that, the motherboard was littered with flying wires and capacitors and resistors that were significantly out of design and later added, with soldering irons and small bulbs acting as indicators set aside, as if ready to troubleshoot.

Ranni sat down in front of the second-hand TV and went through the procedure. The computational problems of finite element analysis are not huge, but some of the people in the Programming Skills Interest Group are still far behind. In the short program, she changed several programs that could be shortened, and the difficulty of reading this program increased by several orders of magnitude. Techniques like this have to be sprayed to death by standardized program apes after 30 years, but in this era when every byte has to be considered, this is the unique secret book of program apes.

"Alright, let's try. Ranny slapped the table and looked up from the front of the second-hand TV. After staring at the TV for a long time, her eyes were a little dry and astringent.

The sound of electricity sounded inside the calculator, and the tape moved as the calculations worked, which was the most beautiful music for the people in the interest group.

The calculations ran for a short time, and a small finite element calculation took more than two hours. But even so, no one complained in the slightest.

A scientific calculator that can execute a program is simply the same as the gap between a fan fighter and a stealth fourth-generation aircraft of World War II for the tube calculator produced by the Xiucheng Computer Factory.

What's more, this is still developed by Ranni and the interest group, who are self-proved, and they are similar to their own children, and they like it no matter how they see it.

It's slow -- no, it's up to you to decide who you're competing with. Compared to Apple, this "small" guy is not even a computer. But compared to the tube calculator, this speed is almost flying!

"The data is out!"

The members of the group who were on duty to guard the calculation results suddenly shouted excitedly, and the people who had gathered together just now to talk and laugh hurriedly gathered in front of the second-hand TV.

"How is it, does it match the data given by Song Gong?" The team member who couldn't see the TV screen behind him jumped to his feet and asked with great interest.

There was a loud page turning sound in front, and soon the calculation results were compared with the data given by Chief Engineer Song of the Heavy Machinery Factory: "Yes, yes, yes, all right! The procedure is correct, and there is no problem with the equipment!"

"I'll see!"

"Let me see it too!"

"Oh, it's true, it's all right!"

"There was no problem with the device, no memory overflow, and no other issues. The temperature is normal, the voltage is normal, and our equipment can really do finite element analysis!"

"Great!"

Almost everyone in the interest group checked it personally. At the end of the day, they're not trying to make sure there's something wrong with the device.

Instead, I hope to be able to feel the fruits of these two months of labor for myself.

The joy of simple creation is more powerful than the enjoyment of money and material things, and it makes people feel the greatness of being a human being.

"Ranni, we've made it!"

"Yes, thanks to the equipment that Ranni brought back from the United States, this calculator can be made so easily!"

"Hey, if you want me to say Section Chief Ran, it would be nice if you could come to our technical department. What kind of section chief do you want to be in logistics, you, a master's degree who came back from studying in the United States, aren't you a tyrannical thing!"

"Hey, what do you know?"

The people in the technical department in the interest group pouted, obviously knowing some about the inside story of Ran Ni's arrangement: "The head of the technical department is a worker, peasant and soldier who graduated from a junior college, and it is okay for him to follow the design drawings and draw cats and dogs, and the level is just like that." If Section Chief Ran goes to the technical department, what will Section Chief Bai do? Will he be promoted or transferred? Or will he simply be a subordinate to Section Chief Ran? There is no way to arrange it!"

"Hey, just because of this, throw our section chief Ran to the logistics department to be the section chief......?

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. Ranni waved her hand and stood up to get the topic back on track: "The LH5801 processor is an eight-bit system, and the design is not complicated. If our factory can introduce a set of 10 micron chip production line, I don't think there is too much pressure to mass produce this CPU. The electron tube is now a technology facing obsolescence in the world, and there is no future without switching to transistor process circuits. ”

As she spoke, Ran Ni patted the dilapidated second-hand old TV, and said, "Let's work hard, let's write a plan." I want to show it to the factory director and say that he will switch to the production of programmable scientific calculators, which is a big deal for our Xiucheng Computer Factory!"

"Oh, that's a good idea!"

"No problem, if we come up with a programmable scientific calculator, it will be the first time in China, right?"

"Not really!" replied with a proud look on the team's face.

The factory office building of Xiucheng Computer Factory is not small, and the calculator produced is not worried about selling, and the new factory office building built only two years ago is full of brand-new flavor.

Lin Rong, the director of the factory, is quite satisfied with his working environment, he is a person who does not have much ambition, and he is transferred from the state cadre of the Industrial Bureau to a state-owned enterprise to be a leader, and he likes the ease of work.

The old factory director repaired the new factory office building, but he didn't work a day in the new building, so he was transferred to another enterprise that needed to be saved. Lin Rong spent a lot of effort to stand out among countless competitors, as if he had exhausted all the hard work of his life.

He worked so hard because he took a fancy to Xiucheng Computer Factory. The products produced in the factory are not worried about sales, the economic conditions are good, the funds are rich, and the factory has already formed a stable working structure for more than ten years.

With more money and less to do close to home, how can such a job not be beautiful?

Since the transfer, he has not had any thoughts of a new official taking office, and he has made a good Cao Shen with Xiao Gui Cao. How did the previous factory director arrange the work, he mostly kept the same state, but firmly grasped the personnel and financial rights.

As for the work arrangement, as long as there are no major incidents, he doesn't care much about them -- in the words of factory director Lin Rong himself, the working class is the master of the factory, and we must fully trust everyone's consciousness!

Dangdangdang -

Ran Ni knocked on the door, and Lin Rong's voice of "please come in" came from inside, so she pushed the door and walked in.

Lin Rong was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt, holding a water cup for an old cadre, and a floor electric fan in the office was blowing hula. Don't look at the fact that there is no air conditioning on a hot day, but there is no heat at all in his office.

This is thanks to an old locust tree transplanted outside his window, which was the first small sapling planted at the gate of the factory when the Xiucheng Computer Factory was built.

The small saplings of the year are now big locust trees with deep roots and thick leaves. After Lin Rong took office and chose an office, the first thing he did was to transplant the locust tree outside his office. With this tree sheltering from the wind and rain, this office is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is simply a first-class enjoyment.

"Oh, Section Chief Ran is here!" Lin Rong put down the documents in his hand, beckoned warmly, and asked Ran Ni to sit down on the chair opposite him: "How is it, is it okay to work in the logistics department?

"My colleagues in the logistics department took good care of me and the work went smoothly. Ran Ni smiled and took out the document in her hand by the way: "I came here today in the hope of getting ......"

"Oh, it's time to do it!" Lin Rong raised his hand, glanced at his watch, and interrupted Ran Ni's words restlessly: "It just so happens that a delegation from the superior leader came over at noon. Section Chief Ran, come and entertain me for a while!"

"Director Lin, don't you want to read my plan first?"

"Hey, what kind of plan, wait until we finish eating! Come on, come on, this delegation is from the province, and we are all counting on Section Chief Ran to win glory for our factory!"

As he spoke, Director Lin simply pulled Ranni out of his office, ignoring the embarrassed look on Ranni's face.
