"What? Engage in integrated circuits? You're not mistaken, are you? Zheng Hao plucked out his ears, as if he didn't understand the words of the young man in front of him, and looked incredulous.

Liu Yijiu didn't do a good job of designing firearms, this was a matter of setting up a military order, but he regarded it as child's play! For so long, even the most basic samples have not been seen, and now they have to work on this aspect of the design without doing their job.

The problem is that there are no experts in this area at the base.

The country's computer technology is not very good, and it is all engaged in very large things, which cannot be done in a short period of time.

"Director, what I said is true. Doesn't our base have a dedicated electronics manufacturing area? If we can produce some computing-aided devices, our research will advance a lot. At the same time, we can provide this kind of small aided design computer to other scientific research units in China, so as to solve the problem of insufficient research funds in our base. As long as this problem is solved, our research projects will be not limited to the planning arrangements of the higher-level departments...... "Under the planned economic system, it is impossible for units to carry out independent research projects."

All project plans must be approved by the higher authorities, and then the higher authorities will allocate funds.

Want to do your own research?

The problem is that the department that needs to engage in research must have its own small treasury that can support the research funds of the project.

The base of the Ninth Academy was originally a combat readiness base, and there was a lot of technical equipment in reserve, but there was no money.

"It's too nonsense, no! Don't go, you made a military order to Commander Qiu! Zheng Hao shook his head.

Liu Yijiu's words made him very tempted.

For cadres like them, if they want to climb up, money is useless, they have to make achievements, but if they want to achieve results, they must also have project results......

But you can't do that. Weapons research is the most important task of the base at present, and other auxiliary research or something, or wait for other units to study.

"This can help us with the finite element analysis of the design, with him, we can let the computer do a lot of calculations, it is not easy to make mistakes, and the time is faster, because in the appropriate software, only need to provide the calculation formula to get the answer...... "Since Zheng Hao's side does not work, Liu Yijiu simply found Wang Shunyi and a group of old men.

Auxiliary design, which is a very big temptation.

From the beginning of the 336 caliber rocket artillery project to the past few years, most of the time has been spent on various design demonstrations, mainly manual calculations, which often take several months to calculate the results, and in the end may have to be reversed and restarted because some problems have been missed.

"Can you really achieve this kind of performance?" Wang Shunyi obviously didn't believe it.

The supercomputer in the base is too bloated, and it is much better at processing data than humans, but it can only achieve some very simple functions.

"No problem, Uncle Wang, the United States has already started to start in this regard, supercomputers are too expensive for us, too large, what we need is a small, personal assistance computer, such a computer, the cost will not be too high, the cost of one is estimated to not exceed 400 to 500 yuan, but it can improve our research progress a lot." Liu Yijiu patted his chest and promised.

In such a state, it is not possible to make the kind of optical brain used in their time, but it is completely possible to make some simple performance computers under the existing conditions.

The most critical processor can be made, and the rest is not much of a problem.

"Okay, how much do you need?"

"Not for the time being, I'll get the design drawings out, and then you can ask Director Zheng to agree to trial produce a few samples." If we use it well, we will produce more when the time comes. Liu Yijiu said confidently.

Thanks to the old computer chips, there are not too many transistors, and the circuit design is not too complicated, he has studied these things when he is fine, and it is a little difficult to make a classic chip like Intel 8086, and the domestic production conditions are also relatively difficult, but it is no problem to get a performance that is a little worse.

After all, it is not too complicated in China in this area now.

"That's okay, you go get the map first, by the way, don't leave your guns, otherwise you really won't be able to eat and walk around." The reason why Wang Shunyi agreed to Liu Yijiu's plan was not how optimistic he was about the project, but that he did not need a lot of funds in this regard.

Liu Yijiu was recognized by Wang Shunyi, and with him to do Zheng Hao's work, he didn't have anything to worry about, and when he returned to the design room, he began to design the logic circuit diagram of a processor while instructing Yang Shan and a few people to modify the design drawings of the plagiarized Bayi gun family.

"Master, what are you spending here? Is it the blueprint of some kind of weapon? No, the guns we get are all piped......" Seeing Liu Yijiu burying his head in the drawings and constantly drawing, Yang Shan and the others were very curious, and when they turned their heads to see, they were densely packed with lines, and they couldn't understand what was drawn at all, and they couldn't see the outline drawing.

"This is the blueprint of a processor that helps us with all kinds ......of calculations," Liu Yijiu began to explain to several people.

However, his explanation is also in vain, several people are studying mechanical design and weapon design, and they don't know much about electronics at all.

What's more, this is the most cutting-edge computer chip.

In the whole of China, there are not many people who understand this. The people who study this aspect in China are mainly engaged in supercomputer research, and there are not many people who study military chips, which is the most severe blockade of the Republic in Europe and the United States.

Even in the eighties, these things were not easy to come by.

"What is a chip?" Several people were puzzled.

"......" Liu Yijiu was speechless, and he couldn't explain it to them.

This reminded him that he had to have a professional to help him.

"What more do you want? Let's talk about it together! Zheng Hao was speechless. Wang Shunyi put pressure on him, and he couldn't agree to Liu Yijiu's project if he wanted to. He also understood that if he did not agree to the project proposed by Liu Yijiu, Wang Shunyi's gang of old men would definitely find him trouble.

After all, Liu Yijiu said that this thing can help them improve the progress of rocket artillery research, and save a lot of time in the later research of other projects.

"No, you need some technicians who have a basic foundation in computer processors." Liu Yijiu shook his head, he didn't know what he needed, this thing was a system.

"There are no researchers in this area in the base, and there are no personnel in the fourth area in charge of electronic technology......" Zheng Hao was speechless.

"Don't we have a supercomputer here? How could there be no one? Professionals in this area can do it, but they can't do it, and people who maintain computers can......" Liu Yijiu was speechless.

Computers, twenty years later, grabbed a lot of things, but now they can't do it, and even the most basic personnel can't be found!

"You want a computer repairman? Okay, no problem, I'll give you all the people here, anyway, they don't have much role in this project, go over there and help you, you can finish those rifles with your heart, and then honestly follow us to make things that can fly! Liu Yijiu was sent by Zheng Hao to Wang Shunyi's side to ask for someone, and Wang Shunyi agreed.

For them, there are several repairers for this computer, and it is a bit of a waste here.

What they need is to help them operate their computers, and nothing else.

"This is Liang Qiang, the leader of the base's computer maintenance team, and he is very familiar with all kinds of hardware...... Wang Shunyi called a middle-aged technician who was only in his thirties to him, and based on his age, he guessed that he should be a college student who graduated in the sixties.

This is very useful for Liu Yijiu.

During the ten years of turmoil, college students were basically recommended by workers, peasants and soldiers to go to school, and they had no foundation, and even if they were willing to work hard, they could not study very well.

"Comrade Xiao Liu, please take care of me!" Liang Qiang stayed in this base very aggrieved, although the computer has a strong calculation function, but these old technicians do not trust this very much, all kinds of high-precision calculations, are carried out by themselves.

How can he use his expertise here?

Hearing Wang Shunyi say that Liu Yijiu was going to build a small computer, how could he not be happy?

"Time is precious, let's talk about it as we go." Liu Yijiu shook Liang Qiang's hand, and after saying to him, he turned his head and left.

“…… These computers are based on x86 infrastructure, with tens of thousands of transistors in one processor, mainly on semiconductor devices of a certain structure, plus silicon dioxide and metal to form a gate ......" Liu Yijiu walked as he introduced his own design to Liang Qiang and other technicians.

The republic has followed the Soviet Union from the very beginning, and in this era, it is also said that there is no intellectual property rights.

Taking advantage of the fact that the US imperialists have not yet figured out this and has not applied for a patent, Liu Yijiu hurriedly got this out.

Before he got the light brain, this backward and old-fashioned, poor-running thing that could make people collapse, partly for his own work, and partly for the Republic to develop in this area from the beginning.

Computers are also related to national defense security!

"Metal-oxide-semiconductor? What is the structure of a MOS transistor in an integrated circuit? Liang Qiang asked with some uncertainty.

This made Liu Yijiu immediately surprised.
