"You have a point! That's it! Director Ren Zhongfa looked at Zhou Jianhua and nodded, then glanced around again, and asked loudly:

"Do you have any other comments on the configuration of this internal memory?"

Before Zhou Jianhua spoke, everyone was discussing whether to reduce the configuration, and there were many people who were in favor and worried, but Zhou Jianhua spoke, and he actually said that he wanted to improve the configuration, which surprised everyone present. Consideration should also be given to appropriately increasing the configuration.

At this time, when Ren Zhongfa asked, everyone shook their heads slightly in response to Ren Zhongfa's inquiring eyes, expressing their approval of Zhou Jianhua's suggestion, and there were no longer different opinions.

Ren Zhongfa looked around at everyone and waited for more than ten seconds, and when he saw that everyone was no longer speaking on this matter, he nodded and said:

"Now that everyone has a unified opinion on this issue of internal memory configuration, then this matter is decided!"

After Ren Zhongfa said that, he turned his head and said to Li Yongping beside him:

"Make a note of this! When the Project Coordination Group meets next Tuesday, I will have to bring this up to the top of the list. ”

"Hmmm! I've written it down! Li Yongping nodded in response.

"Good! So, let's move on to the other issues...... Everyone spoke enthusiastically! Ren Zhongfa looked at everyone and said with a smile.

In fact, we have already met several times a year ago to discuss many issues related to the introduction of computers. There have been a number of remaining issues that need to be resolved. These issues were also documented at the time. However, through the communication with Zhou Jianhua at the Planning Commission building two days ago, especially the new translation and notes of the "product solution" given by Zhou Jianhua this time, many previous doubts and technical problems have been easily solved.

Therefore, Ren Zhongfa did not intend to let Li Yongping take out those problems and sift them one by one at this time, but guided everyone to consider some more in-depth or comprehensive problems on the basis of a clearer understanding of this computer system.

"I've always had a problem!" Among the two professors of Jiangnan University of Technology, the fatter one suddenly spoke:

"When I was in college in my early years, I was transferred to the computer training class offered by the Institute of Computing Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for a period of time. I came into contact with the 103 type computer produced by the Soviet Union in the early years according to the Soviet computer drawings, and the calculation speed of the computer at that time was very slow, that is, one or two thousand calculations per second, and the input and output equipment of the computer at that time was the "card reader/punching machine".

But now I see that in the solution recommended by the company, in addition to the "console printer", the recommended input and output devices still have the "card reader/puncher", which makes me a little puzzled - after I left that computer training class, I went back to the local college to teach, and I didn't have the opportunity to contact computers again, so I don't know very well now - I just thought. Is this "card reader/puncher" still in use?

"I remember that the "card reader/puncher" back then was very troublesome to do data input and output. The efficiency is so low that computers run thousands of times per second at that time, and the computing speed of today's mainframe computers is often tens of millions of times, is this kind of equipment still suitable today? But if we don't use this device, will there be any adverse effects on the future application of this mainframe computer system? Hehe...... I don't know if Comrade Zhou Jianhua knows about this equipment? ”

"To be honest, I've only heard of this "card reader/puncher", but I haven't seen the real thing. Zhou Jianhua looked at Professor Chen with a smile and replied:

"But I knew that this "card reader/puncher" was a mainstream input device for mainframe computers in the early years, and it really wouldn't work without it in the first place. Now that the latest improved version of the "Systemcircle" mainframe is equipped with a keyboard and a "teletypewriter" as standard, the pump factory can do without the "card reader/puncher". Because some foreign companies are accustomed to this thing in the early years, and some special applications also need it, so there is still a small amount of production, but according to the development trend, this equipment will soon be eliminated by the market! ”

When Zhou Jianhua was translating the "product solution" two days ago, he noticed that this "card reader/perforator" equipment was a chicken rib, and there was no need for the pump factory to purchase this kind of inconvenient, inefficient, and obsolete equipment, and the purchase of this equipment would cost tens of thousands of dollars, and it would definitely be a waste to buy it. Zhou Jianhua originally planned to bring up this matter again when everyone was about to discuss it, but he didn't expect it to be raised by this professor first.

Zhou Jianhua remembered that when he first entered the conference room, when the factory director introduced himself, he pointed to the fat man "Professor Chen" and the other thin man "Professor Zhang", but he didn't expect that this Professor Chen had witnessed the initial stage of China's computer industry! Anyone who has paid a little attention to the history of China's computer development knows that the 103 computer is the first computer produced in China, and although it is an imitation of the Soviet Union's products, it has solved the problem of "whether there is a computer" in China and has made great contributions to the country's national defense construction in the early years.

So, we don't need to buy this "card reader/puncher"? Wouldn't this save tens of thousands of yuan?! Ren Zhongfa asked in surprise.

"Huh...... You don't have to buy it at all! Not only do you not need to buy this "card reader/puncher", but also the "magnetic drum memory" recommended by Imbison in the "product solution" does not need to be bought! Zhou Jianhua replied with a smile:

Like the "card reader/puncher", the "magnetic drum memory" is also an old-fashioned product that is about to be eliminated by the market, although its data reading and writing is relatively fast, and it was even used as computer memory in the early years, but since the emergence of magnetic core memory, semiconductor memory and disk memory, it is now used as internal memory or external memory, and there is no advantage in data read and write speed. All we had to do was buy "tape storage" and "disk storage", whether it was mass storage or portable storage. ”

"Oh? So, how many tens of thousands of dollars can we save? Haha......" Ren Zhongfa smiled happily.

"This drum memory isn't cheap!" Zhou Jianhua said loudly:

"The magnetic drum sensor is a high-precision electromechanical product, and one is more than 90,000 yuan and nearly 100,000 dollars!"

"Huh? So expensive?! This kind of junk goods to be eliminated are also recommended by the Americans to us, and they are recommended if they are recommended, and they are sold so expensive! They're so unauthentic! Ren Zhongfa glanced around at everyone with a smile and said humorously:

"How dare they Americans fool us! I must have thought that we Chinese have never seen a computer! But I didn't know that there were several experts here waiting to pull his pigtails! Hahaha......"

Everyone in the audience laughed when they heard this.

"Write it down, write it down! Remember all of this! Ren Zhongfa reminded Li Yongping to make a record, and said with a triumphant smile to everyone:

"I'll see what that American guy from Cliff has to say to us!"

Zhou Jianhua smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that the old factory director must have been angry with Cliff's tough attitude of "no comment" when he was in the conference room of the Planning Commission building last time, and he had been holding his breath for a long time!

Next, we discussed a few more issues, most of which were already described in the information of "product solutions" translated by Zhou Jianhua, but some people didn't understand it thoroughly for a while, and Zhou Jianhua just reminded everyone to understand. Previously, several leaders of the department and committee thought that these technicians might need to discuss a day or two to figure out the problem, but most of the morning it had been solved.

At noon, the leaders of the pump factory invited Zhou Jianhua and two professors from Jiangnan University of Technology to eat in the "small canteen" of the pump factory.

Because the technical problems related to the introduction of computers were solved in advance, everyone was very relaxed at the dinner table. Not only is the food served rich, but the sake is also served. As distinguished guests in the factory, Zhou Jianhua, Chen and Zhang, two professors, were all given up in the "upper seat" seats.

Ren Zhongfa, the director of the factory, and several other factory leaders and the section chief of the technical department frequently toasted the three people, and expressed their gratitude and admiration to several "experts" from time to time. Zhou Jianhua, Chen and Zhang, the two professors, where can they eat, several people soon blushed and their necks were thick, so they used their hands to block their cups from time to time, blocking the wine bottles that Li Yongping, who was in charge of pouring wine, stretched out from time to time.

"It's rare for you experts to get together in our factory, and there's nothing to do in the afternoon, you have to drink this wine!" Ren Zhongfa said loudly with high interest:

"It is of great significance for our factory to introduce this large-scale computer system for technological transformation! You guys have worked hard! If we don't have a good meal and a good drink, we won't be able to go! ”

"Haha! Then you should let Comrade Xiao Zhou drink a few more glasses, if you want to say that the hard work is high, the main reason is that Comrade Xiao Zhou has paid a lot of money. Professor Chen smiled and replied:

"He helped you translate the information, and also helped you explain so many questions, if you want to thank him, thank him, haha, anyway, he is young and in good health, it doesn't matter if he drinks a few more glasses, Lao Zhang and I can't drink too much when we are old, let's ask Comrade Xiao Zhou to be a representative to drink a few more glasses, hahaha......"
