778 Computer technology will allow the world to catch up with China
"You haven't thought about how you will explain to Lao Qian if this project continues?" Long Yaohua asked Liu Yijiu.
Liu Yijiu shook his head and did not answer, but grinned at Long Yaohua.
Qian Lao's side, naturally, there is no need to explain.
As long as they can produce results, anyway, these people Qian Lao probably knew that Liu Yijiu would think of a way and would not return it, and did not transfer the core backbone of other aerospace scientific research units, most of them were some basic research talents.
"Since you have an idea, let's not talk about this for the time being, about this project and the research and development of technologies related to the strategic missile defense system, I think you should communicate with Lao Qian first, and then discuss it with the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense." Long Yaohua did not ask Liu Yijiu about how to explain to Qian Lao, but suggested that he first discuss with Qian Lao and other experts, and also communicate with the personnel of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense to further persuade the Military Commission.
Without the nod of the Military Commission, such a huge strategic system would not have been able to be studied at all.
It's a huge project as a whole.
There are many aspects involved, and there are even various space technologies.
The benefits are obvious, but at the same time, the difficulties are very obvious.
"That's exactly what I intended." Liu Yijiu told Long Yaohua so.
A group of bigwigs were fooled by him into working hard towards the research of the Beidou system, and aerospace was even working hard to develop space technology. All this has become different from the original, all kinds of things are supported by Liu Yijiu's promotion, as well as the huge amount of funds obtained from the huge number of Dongfeng-3 missiles sold to Saudi Arabia and Iran. Began to develop rapidly.
How to choose the most favorable project development under such circumstances must be considered.
followed Long Yaohua to the capital, and did not first find the bigwigs of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. Instead, he went directly to Qian Xuesen first.
Regarding Liu Yijiu's arrival, Qian Lao didn't seem surprised.
"Your renovation project is complete, right? People aren't going to pay it back, are they? Qian Lao said this very calmly.
The corners of Liu Yijiu's mouth twitched, "Daddy Qian, I didn't say that I didn't plan to return it." Although we have achieved our improvement goals, we found that there is still a lot to improve during this test launch......
Immediately. Liu Yijiu introduced the various shortcomings found in the test firing process of the 8208 project.
Qian Lao is a missile expert and the father of the republic's missiles, so he naturally has a clear understanding of the various technical problems that Liu Yijiu said.
But after hearing Liu Yijiu, they are now starting to study the project of intercepting missiles. I couldn't help but be a little surprised, and I didn't expect that what Liu Yijiu wanted to build was not just to intercept these small short-range tactical missiles. The ultimate goal is a long-range ICBM!
"There's a lot of systems engineering involved. The technical difficulty is not a big one! Qian Lao reminded Liu Yijiu, "Even a global satellite system, it will take us at least ten years to achieve it, and you want to build such a system now, isn't it a bit out of place?" ”
"We don't set up the project now, my idea is that we can first list the various technical systems and projects required for this project, and then select each with a large investment. Priority is given to projects of high importance. It's not about this project, but it's about developing in the direction of this project......"
Liu Yijiu has always held this view.
Even the Beidou system is like this.
Although there is no project. However, related projects, such as the most important launch vehicles, satellites with more advanced performance, remote sensing technology, satellite communication technology, etc., are all key areas of development at present.
For Liu Yijiu's idea, Qian Lao couldn't raise any objections, but gathered some other old guys together, and everyone sat together to discuss, and even invited Qi Hao and others from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense to discuss the feasibility of the implementation of this project.
"I think that building a missile defense system, although at the moment, is very technically difficult, and it is not an easy thing for us to solve. But I think that since the Ninth Academy is already working on it, there is no need to stop. Now we have to keep pushing the boundaries of technology so that we can ensure that the defense industry can develop rapidly without a large-scale renewal of equipment and the preparation of layoffs. As soon as he heard that he wanted to establish such a system and study the technology in this area, Qi Hao was the first to express his support.
Others were not as optimistic as he was.
China's foundation is too poor and too thin, and there are too many technological projects that need to be studied.
Civilian technology can be imported from abroad, but military technology is simply impossible.
Even though the relationship between the United States and China is now in the honeymoon period, the United States does not give China whatever technology it needs, and the export of civilian technology to China is also relatively backward, and military technology is more strictly controlled! The "Batumi Embargo" is not a blank slate.
"It's going to be more difficult than we imagined. Not to mention anything else, just the interception system, long-range detection radar is a huge problem, even if there are means to solve it, and after the discovery of the incoming missile defense, involving orbit calculation, the target allocation of the perimeter defense system, has our rapid response capability ...... this system, is not as simple as imagined.
After Liu Yijiu said it, Qian Lao clearly realized the problems inside.
He also seriously considered that the situation here did not seem to be as optimistic as he imagined.
"There are too many involved, even if we can't make a breakthrough in long-range large-scale radar, as long as our satellite system is established, we can find these high-speed moving targets by using remote sensing means or detection technology...... In addition, as for the response, I think we still have to make efforts in the direction of automatic control technology. If our system can be detected at the outset, then the information processing center calculates the launch trajectory based on the target parameters and authorizes the defense systems deployed in the perimeter. Automatic control of the launch of anti-missile missiles arranged by us at the highest priority level, interception of ......"
As a top expert in automatic control and automatic detection in aviation technology, Yang Jiaqi feels that this aspect has a lot to do with the Beidou system that they are currently working on.
Liu Yijiu, a young man, is now more and more impressive to him.
Now it's completely understandable. Liu Yijiu began to fool them with the Beidou satellite positioning system and surveillance system for this purpose.
The satellite positioning system is only part of this!
In their case, they will come up with these huge projects in one go at the beginning, and eventually they will either be shelved or slow progress because they are too difficult.
"That's true, Beidou system. We expect not only a satellite positioning system, but also a dual-use system that will be responsible for communications, detection and other functions. So. In the future, it can effectively reduce costs......" Liu Yijiu said with a grin, "Defensive missiles, those new missiles that our missile battleships need to be equipped with will be able to do the job once they are successfully developed." This one does need to be automated. Need for more advanced computer ......"
Computer. It is the direction of development in the future.
The whole world has seen this, and the same is true of the republic, there is not a lot of research in the civilian field, but in the military field and the research and development of superlarge computers, it is because of the emergence of Liu Yijiu that the republic's own core processor and chip technology have a foundation, and the development will be so rapid.
This is much better than Liu Yijiu's original world.
"That's right. Xiao Liu, hasn't your computer technology made a breakthrough yet? The hardware system is a bit out of step right now. The same goes for software. Chinese The instruction set was developed by you, and the programming software of the Oracle operating system and others came from your Ninth Academy, you can't make a breakthrough in this core technology, and our other developments can't go on......" As the person in charge of the country's first artificial satellite, Sun Jiadong, the chief engineer of the future Republic's lunar exploration, is naturally clear about the role of computers in these related technologies involved in them.
The performance of the processor is not good, and the basic system of the computer is not good enough, so it will naturally not be able to show much power.
Once satellite equipment is in the sky, it will naturally have to be controlled by computers.
Even missiles.
Liu Yijiu is also very headache for this problem, "In the current situation, computer technology is indeed a very big weakness for us, and the performance of our missiles and chip control is not as ideal as we imagined...... That's what we're going to do next. ”
Computer technology, Rao has Director Liu's golden finger, but it is not good.
Many times, he has no way to bypass the foundation, lack of personnel, lack of equipment, lack of production capacity, etc......
He can design the most complex chips, but he needs to be able to produce them.
Now there is no way to make even a processor like the 386, what else?
"There is another problem, the processor of the Chinese instruction set, and your Windows operating system, which seem to be incompatible with various foreign hardware......" Li Jie, director of the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, asked Liu Yijiu with a frown.
If their processors and operating systems can be common and compatible with American hardware, this will be very good for the development and even prospects of Chinese computers.
In this regard, although they have a lot more talents available than Liu Yijiu's Ninth Academy, they have not made as much progress as the Ninth Academy.
In addition, Jiuyuan has launched a Windows operating system that works with their own computers, and also equips computers with accessories such as mice and input keyboards. This makes the computer much bigger and easier to operate.
The only problem is that it is not compatible, and there is no way to use it with their technical reserves and foreign technology.
When Qi Hao heard this, he immediately retorted, "This is our country's military technology, why should it be used with foreign countries?" Wouldn't this be more able to ensure the security of our military systems and computer networks? ”
At present, many units of the Ninth Academy have begun to be equipped with computers to conduct auxiliary research.
The lack of manpower has forced them to use this method to improve efficiency.
The bigwigs above also see the role of this and are ready to promote it in the national scientific research system, at least in the military field.
However, the Ninth Academy has not yet solved the key process problems of mass manufacturing of core processors.
Moreover, as other departments join the research, the processors that have not yet solved the process problems can no longer keep up with the use requirements, and can only solve the manufacturing process of the previous generation while developing a new generation of processors.
"Director Qi is right, at this time, why should we think about compatibility with foreign countries? In other fields, we do not occupy any advantages, so we strive to catch up and measure our development by foreign technical standards. But in terms of computers, we have the advantage, catching up with foreign countries, why should we think about being compatible with them, instead of letting them consider being compatible with us? Liu Yijiu said unceremoniously.
As the director of China's most important computer research institute, if this is the case, it will eventually make the entire industry of the Republic move closer to foreign standards.
First-class enterprises do standards, second-rate enterprises do technology, and third-rate enterprises do products.
Whoever masters the standard will be able to occupy the entire market.
And, once the system is compatible, it's easy for hackers to attack through the network.
Therefore, Liu Yijiu never allowed the computer research department of the Ninth Academy of Sciences to disclose the source code of the Windows operating system to any department.
When Li Jie said this, a big thing meant was to gradually lead the topic in that direction, and then let Liu Yijiu publish the source code, and they could study a new generation of systems suitable for their own use on the basis of the source code of the Ninth Academy.
"No matter what, no matter how other units develop, we will not use the kind of programming method abroad, whether it is the Chinese instruction set, or the source program we compile in oracle bones, radicals and other characters, we will not give up and will not change!" Liu Yijiu directly blocked Li Jie's words.
"Let's talk about the missile defense system, how can we talk about it?" Worried that Liu Yijiu and Li Jie would quarrel, Qian Xuesen hurriedly became a peacemaker.
Liu Yijiu was speechless, isn't this a very key core project in the entire missile defense system!
If the problems of computer technology are not solved, other developments will not be able to catch up quickly.
The topic of discussion has once again returned to the construction of the missile defense system, and this time the main thing is to list those key technology projects.
Liu Yijiu is also very supportive of this, as long as the Chinese Academy of Sciences takes the lead and presides, things are much easier to solve than the Ninth Academy of Sciences.
When the various key projects and key technologies are listed, everyone will find that the system is huge, involving almost all the high-precision and cutting-edge technology fields of the entire country, and there are more basic projects......
