Chapter Twenty-Nine: Determination to Solve the Problem of Nanyang Scientific research and production went smoothly

For the victory over the joint siege of Hongmaofan (Netherlands), Francois (Spain), and Little Francophone (Portugal), Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng, and Ouyang He were not too surprised except for joy. They know the combat capabilities of their latest warships, and they have not dealt with them because the surrounding affairs have not been completely resolved. However, this battle made Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng, and Ouyang He feel that they couldn't let go of the opportunity in front of them, and they had a good chance to officially send troops to deal with them. In particular, the progress of resolving the northern issue has far exceeded what was originally imagined, and the solution of the Japanese issue is just around the corner, and now it is completely possible to draw on forces to solve the problem in the South Seas. Moreover, this time the teacher is famous!

Ouyang He drank some tea, put down the cup and said, "This is God pushing us away!" The opportunity is rare in front of us, and it is time for us to make up our minds to solve the problem of Nanyang! ”

"Hmmm! The only thing that needs to be bothered now is on the Russian side, and there is also the matter of westward expansion. Japan's affairs will not take too long, and besides, the Japanese side does not need our navy to spend too much force. You can completely free up your hands to go south to deal with those rabbit cubs in the South Seas! Chen Yufeng still said in his unique language.

"Huh! It seems that if we don't solve the affairs of Nanyang, God will not do it. Zhang Zhimu smiled and said, "The question we want to be in is, to set a goal, to see how far we can fight in Nanyang?" ”

"I think, drive all the Xiyi in Nanyang away, and we will send someone to take it over!" Chen Yufeng said, "We have to manage places that are much stronger than barbarians. ”

"I think they can be allowed to stay in the trade and do fair trade after they take over the place, and we welcome that. But when you come back in the future, you have to follow our rules. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Leave this matter to Liu Chenghuang! Let Fan Chengkun's army cooperate with them. Chen Yufeng said, "It seems that Fan Chengkun and Liu Chenghuang are going to work together again!" ”

In the entire south, now only Qin Peng is using troops in the Burmese direction, and there is Li Zicheng on the Annan side, and they don't have to worry about it at all. The forces of Guangzhou and Fujian could have been drawn up to march to the South Seas. The only problem is that the mountain jungle army has been fighting, and it was originally intended to be reorganized into two mountain armies, but the personnel were matched, and the reorganization was not completed. Thinking of this, Zhang Zhimu said: "We should let Qin Peng complete the reorganization of the mountain jungle army as soon as possible, and then draw out a jungle army to follow Liu Chenghuang to march into the South Seas." ”

"What Mr. Zhang said was," Ouyang He said approvingly, "In this case, just transfer another army out of Guangzhou." ”

"I think it's better to order Liu Chenghuang to come back as soon as possible," Chen Yufeng said, "let Fan Chengkun come back too!" ”

"That's right! I think we should send a secret telegram to Liu Chenghuang, informing him that he has come back to study the matter of going to Nanyang, so that he will also bring back the information they have prepared about the direction of Nanyang. Ouyang He said.

"Hmmm! Mr. Ouyang is right, Liu Chenghuang is a very scheming person, and their preparations in Guangdong will definitely be very sufficient, so let him come back and work out a detailed plan with Liu Yun and them this time. Chen Yufeng agreed with Ouyang He's suggestion.

"And yes! Zhou Yuji knew that we had captured more than 300,000 laborers in Japan and wanted to go over, and he wanted to build more roads on the Mongolian side. I even want to build a railroad at the same time. Mu Yi they meant, leaving 100,000 captives to build roads and mines in Kyushu. Others can be sent back. Ouyang He said.

"I think we will give Zhou Yuji 100,000 people, and we need to make some efforts in the north to build the Yaogang to Kulun and Beihai Highway as soon as possible, and then build the railway, so that our control over the north will be much easier." Chen Yufeng suggested.

"I'll see it!" Zhang Zhimu said, "I will give Ningde 50,000 people to Ningde if the other people have taken prisoners, and we will need a large number of laborers to develop westward in the future." It takes a lot of labor to get to the railways and roads over there. Another 50,000 people on the Liaodong side, and tens of thousands of Annam prisoners over there, to build the Songliao Grand Canal, and to build a high-grade highway in the direction of Nuergan, which requires more labor. Besides, we must also strive to build the railway from Liaodong to Beijing. If you don't have enough labor, you can't do it. ”

"In my opinion, a telegram should be sent to Mu Yi and them, informing them of our next step, and asking them to speed up the pace of resolving Japan. If you go to Nanyang, you will hand over the affairs of Japan to Wu Sangui. Chen Yufeng said, "However, even if you go to the South Seas, you also need to prepare for a period of time, and during this time, there should be some progress in the Japanese direction." They didn't meet any decent resistance when they attacked Shikoku, and I think they were able to capture quite a few prisoners. ”

"Huh! I think I will give Mu Yi a clear order to settle the affairs of Japan, and at least one million prisoners must be left. Ouyang He said.

"I agree with Mr. Ouyang, this is also a waste utilization of the Japanese, you can't kill them in vain, it's too cheap for them!" When Zhang Zhimu mentioned the Japanese, he hated it so much that his teeth itched.

"There is another thing, Zhao Jinli has sent telegrams several times suggesting that a railway into Sichuan should be built." Ouyang He said, "Zhao Jinli even said that all their armies can participate in the railway construction road. I think his opinion is to consider that Sichuan is too closed, there is no railway, and it is too difficult to communicate with the outside world, which is not conducive to our governance there. ”

"The construction of a railway into Sichuan is not something that can be done by anyone, it is a matter of crossing many mountains and valleys, and there are many difficulties," Zhang Zhimu said, "but no matter how difficult the railway into Sichuan is, it must be repaired, and this is related to the stability of the southwest." I think Mr. Lu Bingyi and I will study and set up a pre-research group for the Sichuan Railway. It will take several years to first carry out the exploration and design of the route of the railway into Sichuan, and to select a reasonable route to Sichuan. After they have explored and designed, we will have the strength to build the railway into Sichuan. ”

"Then let's build a railway from Xi'an to Sichuan first!" Ouyang He said, "I think it will be more convenient to cultivate in the direction of Dasanguan. They built the Qinling Mountains along the Chencang Ancient Road that Liu Yun and their expansion took. "It seems that Ouyang He has studied the matter of the Sichuan Railway.

"Hmmm! I think so, but the specific will have to wait until the exploration and design is completed, and it is also very troublesome to build the site of the railway, not only to make the road easy to repair, but also to consider the underground geological conditions. It is necessary to cultivate in a place where the geological conditions are stable. Zhang Zhimu said.

Ning De was overjoyed when he heard Zhang Zhimu say that he could give them 50,000 Japanese prisoners, and asked, "Mr. Zhang!" Can you give us more, these days, we have been discussing this matter with Liu Yun and them, we plan to build a direct road to the Caspian Sea along the northern route of the original Silk Road, to the west, to open the road and build a bridge when the water meets the mountain, if possible, we will build a railway embankment at the same time. If there are many people, we can do it in several sections at the same time. There are no roads and railways, our front is too far, and it is a big deal to have a large number of troops stationed there for a long time. ”

"Huh! Don't worry, Muyi and they will catch some Japanese, and they will give you some in the future. Zhang Zhimu said, "In the future, the west is our focus, and we will lean a little more towards the west." We are immediately left with two directions, one to the South Seas and the other to the West. I think the matter of Nanyang is simpler, our navy has an absolute advantage. But you have a long line to the west, and you will have more trouble. ”

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry about this, our number is much more than them, and we have nothing to worry about dealing with them."

"This time, we have studied the possibility of assigning 5,000 cadres to your west to support your work in the west. In the future, we will appoint some cadres to you. ”

"That's great! What we lack most is cadres, and in the west, we are all political cadres of the army, and when we go out to serve as officials, we can lighten the pressure when we have cadres. ”

The policy of solving Nanyang was determined, and the rest of the matter was handed over to Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He, Chen Yufeng said to Zhang Zhimu: "Zhimu! You still care about the things that none of us can do! Especially that plane, you have to take care of it a little more. With that, we'll be even more powerful in the future. ”

Zhang Zhimu also knew that he didn't have to worry so much about the military. Therefore, Zhang Zhimu devoted his energy to several key directions. Airplanes are only one aspect.

Recently, several technical advances in the kiln gang have made Zhang Zhimu very satisfied. One is Qingfengzi, and they have finally made a breakthrough in the development of photographic technology. Originally, Zhang Zhimu didn't think that this matter would be very difficult, but Qingfengzi and they really took a long time. It turned out that there were brown drawings and pink pictures, but Zhang Zhimu was not satisfied, and now he finally came up with a blueprint. And after posting the picture, you only need to smoke it with ammonia, which is very convenient to use. This thing is really not simple, first of all, we must develop sulfuric acid paper, which is easy to say but it takes a lot of effort to do. The concentration and duration of pulp treatment with sulfuric acid are a little bit of experimentation to get the best results. However, transparent sulfuric acid paper can be used for many other purposes than just drawing.

After Zhang Zhimu pulled Li Yunhe to watch Qingfengzi's demonstration, he said to Li Yunhe: "I will develop a mapping machine when I go back immediately, use the day-off light as a light source, and send the drawings to be exposed through the conveyor belt, so that the amount of exposure can be controlled through speed control." It's easy to post pictures. ”

Li Yunhe said: "In the future, we may have to add a new profession of drawing. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Zhimu said, "Mapping will be a new profession in the future. Choose those who are smart and clever, and you need to learn some basic cartographic knowledge in order to be qualified for the job of a cartographer. You're also going to have to develop some special pens for drawing to make it easier to draw. ”

"The most convenient thing is that we use the drawings, in the future, after a drawing is completed, a copy will be traced on sulfuric acid paper, and then many copies can be posted, and the base map can be archived. In the past, it took a lot of effort to redraw one side in order to get an extra drawing. Li Yunhe knew that he had trouble using drawings in the past, and immediately began to arrange for someone to design the drawing machine when he went back.

There is one more thing that Zhang Zhimu has been staring at, and now he has finally figured it out, that is, the stepper motor that Li Di and they are engaged in.

With a stepper motor, Zhang Zhimu asked Yang Chang and Li Di to arrange a few people to develop disk storage together.

In order to ensure the reliability of disk storage, Zhang Zhimu asked them to use a stepper motor to do the rotary drive, and a stepper motor to control a turbine worm to control the movement of the magnetic head. The disk is made of an aluminum disc with a layer of acetate on top and then coated with magnetic paste. Make a single-sided disk first.

Zhang Zhimu arranged time to teach them the concepts of disk sectors, tracks, clusters, etc., and also told them the concept of files, as well as the concepts of sequential files and random files. With these foundations, Yang Chang's group will be able to develop disk operating system software together with those who are engaged in software.

Zhang Zhimu's request to them is not to think too high all at once, just make it out first, and don't make the speed of the disk too fast, and slowly increase it in the future. Yang Chang: Their new computer is also being debugged, and a multi-user system is also being developed. What makes Zhang Zhimu even happier is that the integration of Yang Chang's semiconductor integrated circuits has been greatly improved. In this way, the amount of memory occupied by the computer is much smaller. Another gain is that the chip of the linear amplifier is also made, although some parameters are not too ideal, but it still brings great convenience to the general signal amplification, especially for instrumentation.

What makes Xiao Hongyu the most satisfied is the kind of miniature condenser microphone with extremely high sensitivity made by the field effect tube, which is not only small in size and light in weight, but also has a dynamic range and sensitivity that cannot be compared with a carbon crystal microphone. It is very convenient to transform a wireless microphone with such a microphone.

However, Xiao Hongyu has been urging Zhang Zhimu to make little progress in the video recorder.

Zhang Zhimu participated in Yang Chang's group discussion on video recorders several times, but there was no progress. Because this thing is completely different from the tape recorder, the requirements for the entire industrial base are very high. Let's just talk about the magnetic head, the machining accuracy is extremely high. In my previous life, I didn't just do it.

Xiao Hongyu didn't understand, so she didn't believe it, she said: "We didn't spend so much time on the tape recorder, why can't we get to the video recorder?" ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that because their TV station could not record the video, it was too difficult to make a show, and they often made jokes. Fortunately, people are not demanding much nowadays, except for jokes, that is to say, just talking. But every time there is a joke, Xiao Hongyu feels that she can't hold it on her face, so she often complains to Zhang Zhimu.

There was no way, Zhang Zhimu led Xiao Hongyu to participate in a seminar on the development of video recorders.

The original leader of the group that developed the tape recorder was now the leader of the video recorder research group, and he said to Xiao Hongyu: "This video recorder is different from the tape recorder. The bandwidth of our tapes is limited, and we have to use tape recorders to record the video, and the tapes have to move at high speeds, but the tapes can't stand such movements. Therefore, we must let the head move at high speed, and at the same time the tape moves, and the direction of the tape movement, and the direction of the head rotation, to be at an angle, each line and each frame of the signal must be recorded and read with a different head, this accuracy is very high. Synchronization requirements are also very high. ”

Xiao Hongyu was stunned when she saw the inside of the video recorder, it was simply too complicated. Seeing this, Xiao Hongyu sighed in disappointment and said, "Hey! It's too complicated, it looks like we want to use a video recorder and don't know when it will be? ”

The leader of the research team said: "We are not so pessimistic, we have made a lot of progress now, although we can't record and play normally, but we can already see the distorted image, not as white noise as before." If all goes well, the show may be recorded by the end of this year. However, the cost of this thing is too high. ”

"You don't have to think about the cost, even if you pile it out with gold, we also have to build two stations, so that our TV station can reliably broadcast programs, and the broadcast time of TV programs can be extended several times." Zhang Zhimu is not afraid to spend money on this matter, especially in front of Xiao Hongyu.

Li Yunhe also sent several masters to participate in the development of the video recorder, because the mechanical movements in the video recorder are also very complicated.

Seeing that the video recorder has made great progress, Xiao Hongyu is also happy, because she finally has hope.

Yaogang's TV programs have attracted more and more attention, and TV sets have also begun to be sold in small quantities and in limited quantities. Those big families will use a lot of personnel relationships to get a TV mobile. Even her cousin at home was begging Huang Yukun and Yang Yulin to help her find a way to get a TV, because she didn't know what relatives had found her.

This made Huang Yukun unhappy, and she was unwilling to find someone for this matter. Inevitably, he complained to Zhang Zhimu again: "Look at what you did, if you don't have a TV set, you will build a TV station, which will make everyone's hearts itch." Besides, everybody likes it, so you can't produce more. ”

Zhang Zhimu didn't want to listen to it anymore, "Oops! You just whine when you're fine, we have more and more demand for radios, and the production line can't be stopped. Now that the marine electronics have been put into production, it also needs manpower. Yang Chang's newly recruited workers in their factory can't do it with their hands, so it's so easy to build a new TV production line? ”

"You are just a Yaogang TV station, and in the future, TV stations will be built in other places, and the TV set will not be enough." Huang Yukun said again.

"Don't worry about it!" Zhang Zhimu said, "They are already building a new factory, and the factory that produces electronic products does not have big equipment, and the plant is almost finished." In fact, this is not just a factory matter, those electron tubes, transistors have to expand production. The picture tube factory has to be expanded. ”

"Hey! I heard that they are shooting a color movie, when will you be able to make a color TV? Yang Yulin thought further.

"O you! It's eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. Zhang Zhimu said, "Color TV is not a simple matter, I have arranged for Yang Chang a group to conduct pre-research." Sooner or later, though, the black and white ones will be turned into colors. ”

Listening to Zhang Zhimu say that there will be a color TV in the future, Xiaohu said: "In the future, there will be a color TV in the house, can this black and white one be placed in my house?" ”

"No problem!" Zhang Zhimu said, "However, I think at that time, I will put a color TV in your and Xiaoqing's house!" I think at that time, there will be a few TV stations in Yaogang, and there will be several TV stations in other places, and you can watch whichever station you want to watch! ”

Xiaoqing and Xiaohu were happy this time, and Huang Yukun also smiled and said: "You just get used to them, at that time, they watched TV every day, and it was not good to read books!" ”

On this day, Zhang Zhimu was drinking tea in the office, feeling that everything was going too smoothly, whether it was the foreign war or the scientific research and production on the kiln side, it made Zhang Zhimu feel a little flustered. Sure enough, Jiang Pai suddenly sent back a telegram that their advance to the west had encountered the Russian cavalry. More than 1,000 Russians suddenly attacked, and although the Yaogang people defeated the Russians, they also suffered many casualties.

Zhang Zhimu received a call from Chen Yufeng and hurried to the command center.
