Chapter 067: Chinese University Library

"Boss, they should come to you. After sitting in the taxi, Chen Zhenning muttered.

"Oh, why do you think that?" Zhang Heng said with a smile.

"I see that they listened to what you said about the world's first, opening a new era, their eyes are as bright as flashlights, I guess they don't want to agree soon, so as not to be despised by you. ”

"Your analysis is very accurate, Zhen Ning, where did you learn so much?" Zhang Heng said in surprise.

This Chen Zhenning is really unseemly, although he knows that his reading grades are still above average, but I didn't expect him to be really good at seeing and talking, which is really unexpected.

"I watched my father's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and learned something. Chen Zhenning smiled innocently.

"Zhen Ning, do you want to continue studying?" asked Zhang Heng.

"Reading?" Chen Zhenning shook his head again and again, "I'm this old, what else do I read, I won't go." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, if you are interested in it in the future, you can study again, and I want to go back to school to study hard." Zhang Heng said with a smile.

"Boss, isn't studying just to make money, you're so rich, why do you still want to study?" Chen Zhenning muttered puzzled.

Zhang Heng smiled and didn't answer, he had to find the answer to this question by himself.

Taxis cross the Lion Rock Tunnel and enter Sha Tin Road to reach the Hong Kong Chinese University in Ma Liu Shui, Sha Tin.

Heung Kong Chinese University was formally formed in 1963 by the merger of New Asia College, Chung Chi College and United College, and Chung Chi College was the first to come here, and the other two colleges just moved this year.

Chen Zhenning held the cardboard box, and Zhang Heng carried a second-hand Martin D28 guitar bought on Yaliao Street, and walked into the school's unfinished archway.

I feel like I'm back on the university campus again, looking at the vigorous growth of green trees and grass, and the high-spirited boys and girls, Zhang Heng couldn't help but feel a little itchy, if he didn't have something to do first today, he was still trying to go downstairs to the girls' dormitory to play a song.

How many years has it been since the last time I played and sang to a girl?

How long has it been since I felt like being back on campus?

How long has it been since I felt like I was swaying my youth?

After the fraud accident in his previous life, he and Lao Mu never returned to their alma mater, and that period of study was deliberately sealed in the depths of their memory, they felt that their alma mater was ashamed, and they never had the face to go back to see teachers and classmates.

After a long walk that slowly revived his long-suppressed self, Zhang Hengcai inquired with a classmate, and then found the library.

Fortunately, the university library was open to the public at this time, and after showing his identity paper, he applied for a temporary library card, and asked Chen Zhenning to stay outside to guard a pile of items and enter the reading room alone.

Although the school was newly established, the library can be said to be full of sweat, in addition to the central library, there are separate libraries for each department.

Zhang Heng was impressed by the good intentions of the management of the Chinese University, and after consulting with the staff, he found the special library of the Department of Electronic Engineering.

In 1970, the Department of Electronic Engineering was established at Chinese University, which can be said to be another manifestation of the management's unique vision.

Unlike other libraries, there are many fewer books and magazines in the library of the Department of Electronic Engineering, but Zhang Heng still found a lot of interest in him.

For example, the "ED" bought in Apliu Street, here is a complete set from January '69 to the latest issue, and the "Proceedings of the IEEE", the journal of the International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, here is a bound edition for the last 5 years.

came over today to inquire about the situation, Zhang Heng didn't look at these magazines and books carefully, his eyes slowly swept over, and when he saw something interested, he picked it up and quickly flipped through it.

When he saw a separate copy of Electronics, he was stunned, and then looked at the date, April 1965, so he immediately picked it up and flipped to page 114.

He remembered that number because it coincided with a phone number.

Sure enough, this is it!

Cramming More Components on Integrated Circuits!

The author column is prominently marked: Gordon Moore, Fairchild Semiconductor R&D Department.

Zhang Heng grabbed the magazine, swept the names of the remaining books and magazines quickly, took another book, sat down at the desk in the middle, and read Moore's article that went down in history first.

"The area of the IC chip remains the same, the number of integrated transistors doubles every 12 months, and the performance also doubles, while the cost remains the same!"

I don't know who drew the wavy line with a pen under this paragraph, and it seems that this person, if not a fan, is at least a person who is very interested in the integrated circuit industry.

This sentence is the famous "Moore's Law" in the future!

In 1975, Moore would change 12 months to 24 months, and Intel, which he co-founded, would prove his claim right over the next 35 years.

In 2008, before the 40th anniversary celebration, Intel solicited $10,000 from all over the world for this issue, but only 6 copies were collected.

Most people working in the electronic circuit industry are simply reluctant to sell this historically significant issue.

"Are you interested in integrated circuits?"

Zhang Heng raised his head, and a kind middle-aged man looked at him with a smile, it should be the teacher here, and he smiled shyly: "I just look at it casually." ”

"Then you can also read this book casually?" The man pointed to a thick foreign book that Zhang Heng kept in his hand, and smiled gently.

Principles of Communication Engineering.

Well, Zhang Heng was speechless, he couldn't tell the other party that the only reason why this textbook published in 1965 attracted him was the author: Irwin Mark Jacobs.

Translated into Chinese is Ervin Mark Jacob, a very awkward name.

If you know the history of the future development of mobile phones, then this name will be like thunder, he is the founder and boss of the future Qualcomm company.

This person should still be a professor in the Department of Electronics at the University of California, San Diego.

In Zhang Heng's plan, this person is one of the talents he wants to fight for the most in the future.

"Little classmate, are you a student here?" the middle-aged man simply sat down and asked with interest.

"No, I'm long out of school. Zhang Heng shook his head.

"How old are you. The man showed a hint of regret, a hint of appreciation.

"15 years old. Zhang Heng said, muttering in his heart, "There are still more than half a month left." ”

The man was stunned, paused for a moment and asked, "Can you understand these two books?"

"Barely able to, I use this. Zhang Heng patted the thick old "Oxford Dictionary" beside him.

The man bowed his head, and suddenly saw the issue of "ED" opened next to the dictionary, which happened to be the analysis article about CS, and Zhang Heng also made a lot of comments on the side.

With Zhang Heng's consent, he took it and read it, put down the magazine, and said meaningfully: "Are you interested in this game console?"

Zhang Heng thought for a while and nodded: "I want to try to make this new game machine in Xiangjiang, so I came to check the information." ”

"Do you want to use IC (integrated circuits) to make game consoles?" the middle-aged man looked at him in shock.

Zhang Heng had to admire his keen associative ability, and nodded: "They use TTL circuits, since there are powerful microprocessors coming out now, I wonder if we can use microprocessors as the main core, so as to get better image performance and playability." ”

"Playability. The man repeated the word, surprised, "You're right, playability is the key to the success of this console, and it must reflect this playability both in terms of external operations and game graphics and content." ”

"Do you have a physical entity?" the man asked.

Zhang Heng handed him a business card, he looked at it, and pretended to exaggerate: "I didn't expect you to be a boss, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

"Don't laugh at the boy, it's just a small printing shop. Zhang Heng said humbly.

The man stopped laughing and said seriously: "To make such a game console, you not only need hardware talents, but also programming talents who understand the needs of players, as well as artists who are responsible for screen design, can you support this project alone?"
