Chapter Seventy-Five: Preparations for the Western Front Computer Prospects

Zhang Zhimu came from a later generation, and of course he understands the power of propaganda warfare. In the Yaogang occupation area, the radio station is often set up as soon as it is slightly stabilized, and even if it is impossible to set up a very high antenna at once, a simple antenna can be broadcast first. There are even some free radios to some people, and the radio station is constantly brainwashing, and the effect is very good. Besides, the living conditions over there in Yaogang don't need to be edited, as long as the actual report is carried out, it can be very attractive to everyone. In particular, on the radio, there are rare literary and artistic programs such as music, opera, and songs that the people have never heard, and that kind of temptation cannot be stopped.

The propaganda war against the Ottoman and Russian empires had already begun, and high-power broadcast transmitters had been set up on the Ural Mountains in the north and the Alborz Mountains in the south, taking turns broadcasting in various languages.

Whether it was the merchants and aristocrats of the Ottoman Empire or the merchants and aristocrats of the Russian Empire, there were radios in their homes, especially in many people's homes, and there were also radios that could be listened to without batteries and with hand-cranked winding. In a world without any source of entertainment or information, the sound coming from the radio is like a voice from heaven. Many aristocrats don't hear the sound of the radio every day, and they feel that the days are much less content. They don't know how there is so much news and news from all over the world on the radio. However, in these entertainment programs, they also learned that the place called Yaogang in the Ming Dynasty was the center of the world. No matter what good things are, they all seem to come out of the kiln. The aristocrats slowly began to pay attention to everything in the kiln, and some people with brains also wondered how the people there could make so many unexpected things. Worshipping the Ming Dynasty has slowly become fashionable for the upper class. Many people were honored to know the businessmen who came from the ministers. Being able to invite the kiln people of the Ming Dynasty to their homes is a very face-saving thing. Thought penetrates, like spring rain, moisturizing things silently. This is the power and charm of propaganda warfare.

However, there were sober-minded people in the upper echelons of the Ottoman and Russian empires, and they felt more and more terrible in the face of this sudden approach of a powerful neighbor. In particular, the kings of Holland and other countries wrote to them, wanting to work together to deal with the people of the Ming Dynasty, which made them very tempted. The first is that the Ming Dynasty is too powerful, and the second is that the wealth of the Ming Dynasty is too tempting. Both of these points are worthy of them uniting to defeat the Ming Dynasty. In particular, what these Western countries said in the ** that the Ming Dynasty was selling weapons to the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire to make money and profit from it, in fact, both of them know this fact, but let outsiders say it thoroughly, whether it is the Sultan Abbas of the Ottoman Empire or the Alex Tsar of the Russian Empire, they are all gritted their teeth with hatred, and they dare not show their dissatisfaction with the Ming Dynasty. First, they were afraid of the Ming Dynasty, and they were even more afraid that the Ming Dynasty would support their opponents. If any of them offends the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Ming Dynasty supports its opponents, it will be able to destroy itself, which they know too well. This determines that they can't help but hate the Ming Dynasty!

Since the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire got their hands on the muskets, they have been summoning skilled craftsmen to copy them, but their steel is too poor, and the processing methods are really not good. The barrel of the gun will be deformed if it can't be fired twice, especially after a few shots, the barrel will heat up, and the bullet will not know where it will fly again. But even then, the level of their own muskets has improved considerably. Although the musket that is being made now cannot be compared with the musket in the kiln, it is a big improvement compared with the original musket. Most of them were made to use bullet charges in the back room, so that the musket could fire much faster.

Neither the Sultan Abbasid of the Ottoman Empire nor the Tsar of the Russian Empire could have imagined that the Kilnmen would send a telegram to persuade them to make peace. After receiving the telegram forwarded, the Ottoman Empire angrily scolded, "What are these hateful Ming Dynasty people going to do? They sell weapons on both sides, and now they are pretending to make peace, don't they know that the Russian Empire is our old enemy? ”

One of the ministers said, "Yes! If they hadn't *** given to the Russians, we would have occupied Moscow a long time ago! ”

Another lord said, "Your Majesty, we need not be angry. In any case, we can't offend the people of the Ming Dynasty now. I will send them a letter in reply, thanking them for their kindness, but also telling them that we are old enemies of the Russian Empire, and that our subjects will not agree to destroy them unless they are destroyed! ”

The Sultan let out a breath through his nose and said, "All right! That's it! This year, though, we must defeat the hateful Russians. Otherwise, we won't be able to afford it! ”

"Don't worry! Your Majesty, this time I saw that more than 50 of our big cars have been transformed, and if such cars rush up, no army will be able to stop them! A general said.

"We're almost done with everything!" The Sultan said, "I hope the Russians don't have cars like ours this time!" ”

"I'm afraid we're going to have to deal with the cars of the Russian Empire," said one of the ministers, "and we've got information that the Kilnmen have taken the car transport and passenger lines to Moscow." It is impossible for the Russian Empire not to see the car, and if they do, can't they think that the battlefield can be used? ”

"Hey! The cunning people of the Ming Dynasty, I knew that they would definitely make money at both ends! Now that they are pretending to make peace, I think they will pile up a mountain of money. Maybe they're in the kiln! "The Sultan is angry to death.

"There is no way! Your Majesty, now we must endure! One of the ministers said, "The idea of the joint resistance of various countries against the Ming Dynasty is not suitable for us, everything will have to wait for us to defeat the Russian Empire!" ”

The emperor of the Russian Empire was also angry when he received such a telegram, others did not know, the Ming Dynasty knew that the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire had already exhausted the gold and silver, and the last gold of the tsar himself in the basement of the Kremlin was taken out, and the Ming Dynasty had earned countless arms and silver, and now it came to persuade peace, which is simply ridiculous. The tsar now does not dare to offend the Ming Dynasty, not only do they need the support of the Ming Dynasty, but they already owe a lot of silver to the Ming Dynasty and don't know how to pay it back? However, Tsar Alex also felt that the Ming Dynasty was too threatening, and the envoys and letters sent by various countries asked for a joint response to the Ming Dynasty, and the Tsar was also very moved. He wanted to defeat the Ming Dynasty and recapture the occupied Ural Mountains, as well as as as East Siberia, and even more kilns that could produce a few strange things. However, he knew better that it would be difficult for him to defeat the Ottoman Empire without the support of Yaogang, and now he was able to stalemate with the Ottoman Empire, which was also the reason why he defeated the Ottoman Empire for the first time with a musket. However, Tsar Alex understood that the Russian Empire could not continue this battle, and with so many cars this year, the Ottoman Empire had to be crushed in one battle. Otherwise, the Russian Empire will not be able to fight again, although the Ming Dynasty sent someone to promise itself that it would not allow the Ottoman Empire to occupy Russia, but that was all talk, and it was really unwise to leave his fate to others in a few words.

Before the weather warmed up, both the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire received reports from the officers and soldiers below that there seemed to be a buzzing sound in the sky, and that when the weather was good, large birds could be seen flying. There are many devout believers who see the big birds flying in the sky and bow down to the ground, thinking that God or Allah has appeared.

Neither the Tsar nor the Sultan took this too seriously, believing that their God, Allah, had come back to bless them.

In fact, this was the arrival of the new aircraft of Yaogang to the front line, and they took advantage of the fact that the flight range was much longer than that of the old aircraft, and they began to reconnoiter the situation on the front line of the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire from the air.

Li Wei, Li Jing, and Fan Chengkun were the first to come to their camp in Ningde, and from then on they sent troops to the south of the Caspian Sea and the west bank of the Volga River to set up camps. Since the heavy snow in this area has not yet bloomed, Ningde used tracked vehicles to press the road out, and in some places where the snow was thick, they used bulldozers to push the road away. There used to be an airfield for planes from the Ural Mountains to the Caspian Sea, and after clearing the snow, the frozen runway could take off and land planes. Fan Chengkun didn't wait for the camp here to be built, so he took his air force men and horses into this airport. The plane also flew here after several turns from Yaogang. However, there are sentry posts set up far away from here, and ordinary people must not approach them.

The flight captain personally led the team to conduct several take-off and landing trainings, and according to the detailed maps provided by Ning De and Jiang Zhu, he made many signs around the area, and set up navigation stations on two hills and at the airport. Pilots are more confident in flying. However, before Fan Chengkun left, Zhang Zhimu repeatedly warned them that flying on water is a very special flight, and they will encounter many special situations that cannot be encountered in land flights, and there will be many flying illusions. For example, it will misjudge the illusion of flight such as tilting, climbing, and flying upside down. Tell the pilots that something is wrong and believe the instruments. Therefore, Fan Chengkun and the pilots formulated a detailed training plan for water flight. At first, they flew not far from the coast where they could see the shore, and gradually they flew farther away from the shore and experienced the flying sensation of the sea all around.

After repeated requests from the flight captain, Fan Chengkun agreed to their request to cross the Caspian Sea to conduct reconnaissance flights north and south of the Ula Mountains. This was the beginning of reconnaissance flights over the Ottoman and Russian imperial armies.

It turned out that the pilots who came with a few old planes were all three pilots in a plane, but they flew almost every day, and their flying skills made these new pilots who were driving new planes admire the five-body throw. No matter how high the quality is, the pilot will not be able to improve without the level of flight hours. These veteran pilots, after getting familiar with the new plane, flew around the sky with the new plane, and after landing, tears almost came down one by one. They didn't expect the new aircraft to perform so well, and in their words, the plane was as obedient as their own arms and legs. If you want to make a move, you can do it with a little force, unlike the old airplane, which requires a lot of effort to pull out a move. The new pilots have flown the old planes and can better understand the experience of the old pilots.

Shi Tao and the others also sent a meteorological support team to support the flight team. They built weather stations in the Ura Mountains and Alborz, as well as in several surrounding highlands. Now the meteorological detachment is also equipped with high-altitude weather balloons, which have meteorological equipment on them, and the data can also be transmitted back by radio, and when special needs are needed, they can also release balloons for detection.

Although many places are still covered with snow, the terrain within the range of the aircraft has been taken from the air. In the Western Front Headquarters, large sand tables were made according to scale.

The military preparations on the Western Front, the Yaogang people were more prepared than the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire, these are probably unknown to them.

After fifteen, Yang Chang took a pocket and brought a few people to Zhang Zhimu's office, because he had already paid tribute to the New Year, he was not too polite. Zhang Zhimu said: "What a good thing, take it out?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Yang Chang smiled and took out something and said, "Mr. Zhang, this is something that can earn a lot of silver!" ”

"What, get a new pager?" Mr. Zhang saw the pager that Yang Chang took out.

Yang Chang handed the pager to Zhang Zhimu and said, "This is not an ordinary pager!" ”

"Oops! With a display? Zhang Zhimu saw a row of monitors at the top of the pager and knew that this was a light-emitting diode that was easy to use.

"That's right! Our pager not only rings, but also shows the number of the pager? It is now possible to store five numbers. The latest one will be the first to come in! Yang Chang said.

"Good! All right! Zhang Zhimu said, "I originally wanted to use a cathode ray tube to display, but that thing consumes too much power, and the power of the small battery is not enough." Now it's good to go! It's so much better to have diodes! ”

"In order to save energy, our display part can also be turned off!" Yang Chang said.

"The next step is to develop a pager that can store more numbers. Five is still too little! Zhang Zhimu said.

"Take your time!" Yang Chang said proudly, "Our next pager not only stores more numbers, but also displays the time." The pager can be used as a watch! ”

"Oops! Can you guarantee the accuracy of the watch inside the pager? Zhang Zhimu knows that the current electronic watch can't be too small.

"We came up with a way to send a clock correction signal every hour on the hour! In this way, the clock in the pager is a little wrong, and it is also within an hour, not too bad! ”

"Great idea!" Zhang Zhimu said, "You give the new pager to Mr. Lu, and he knows what to do!" There are also a few pagers in Hankou, and I don't think the pagers I bought will be much less than those in Yaogang? Your new pager comes out, what about the old one? Less than two years? ”

"We've studied this, and there are still many people who can't afford to buy digital pagers, so they can sell them to those who don't have pagers yet. If needed, we can take it back and replace it with a new code-writing chip. "Come on, Yang Chang, they are really prepared.

"By the way, is your new pager compatible with the old one?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

"Fully compatible, we just added some encoding to the original paging format!" Yang Chang said, "When we were doing this, we thought of compatibility! ”

"Remember, when the new pager comes out, leave me some!" Zhang Zhimu had already thought of using a pager, "Also, your next step is to study the technology of displaying Chinese characters with diode dot matrix!" ”

"Oh my God! Mr. Zhang's requirements are always constant? Yang Chang said, "However, we need to have a higher degree of chip integration, otherwise the pager will be too big!" ”

"Okay, let's get the pager thing slowly!" Zhang Zhimu asked again, "How is your microwave matter digested?" ”

"Theoretically, we understand what you're talking about. However, the machining accuracy of those cavities is very high, and the processing is very laborious, and we are still in the experimental stage. Give us some time, we should be able to digest these. Yang Chang said with confidence.

"Be sure to take care to prevent microwave damage." Zhang Zhimu said, "Especially the eyes, and the man's thing." They are very sensitive to microwaves. Tell the brethren that many people who engage in microwaves have daughters! ”

"Haha! And what's going on? Yang Chang thought it was funny.

"Don't be careless!" Zhang Zhimu said, "When doing microwave experiments, you have to wear a lead skirt and lead glass glasses!" I talked about the dangers of microwaves to people in class. If you don't pay attention, you pay the price. ”

"Hey! I'll be sure to stress this to you again! Yang Chang said, "I really can't imagine what it will be like when the whole country builds a microwave transmission network." ”

"You're still staring at them about semiconductor lasers!" Zhang Zhimu said, "If they get the semiconductor laser out, we want to develop optical fiber communication, which is our ultimate development direction!" The capacity of optical fiber is not comparable to that of microwave communication! And it's more confidential and safer! ”

"Hey! I'm not even trying to rush them. They don't think of me either, and I don't think there's any progress. Yang Chang said.

"Don't rush them, but ask them what they need help with. You can't put pressure on him, and you can't just ignore him. That would make them feel like no one cared about them. How many levels do they have to pass if they want to break through! Zhang Zhimu knows that engaging in scientific research is not just about hard work, but also about luck. Sometimes, you are only one step away from success, and you may never reach it. Sometimes, you go through a thousand hardships, but you get it inadvertently.

"Alright! However, our brothers in the field of integrated circuits have made good progress, thanks to Li Yunhe, one of the strongest mechanical teams, to provide us with support. Without high-precision machinery, it is impossible for us to build high-density integrated circuits. Yang Chang said.

"You computer workers are going to study graphics display technology right away. In the future, the circuit integration is high, and there is no way to deal with it completely manually, and it needs to be processed with the help of computer-aided processing! Zhang Zhimu suggested.

"What? Can computers still help with integrated circuits? Yang Chang found it interesting, "The computer is made of integrated circuits, and the computer can also be used to reversely high integrated circuits?" ”

"It's not surprising that you have done a good job in computer graphics processing technology first, and in the future, not only can integrated circuits be used to do computer-aided design, including mechanical construction, but you can also use computers to do computer-aided design in all industries you can think of!"

"Oh my God! In the future, will computers really be everywhere, as you say? Yang Chang thought of something.
