Chapter 9 Developing a pager Li Yan was disappointed

Zhang Zhimu was really anxious about the production of aircraft, "Yunhe! You don't have to wait for the production side, you can produce the parts that can be produced first. This time, the aircraft must have a certain batch of batches, and although it is not possible to build a production line like a car, it is necessary to prepare for the production of a batch of aircraft. Matching ammunition and other things should also be prepared in batches! ”

"Don't worry! I've already arranged what I can prepare! Li Yunhe said, "There is another thing that the test pilot brought up with me. They say that now our planes can only fly during the day when the weather is good. Once, when they were flying on a test flight, they suddenly flew into a cloud of fog, and suddenly they didn't know where they flew, couldn't tell the direction, and almost crashed into the mountain. They told me that it would be nice if the plane was equipped with a radio detector for the ship, at least they could detect how far away the mountain was. No, it's okay to have the radio altimeter mounted in front. ”

"Huh! The radio detector for the ship, which is somewhat large in weight and volume. I went back to study this matter with Yang Chang and the others, and made a radio detector suitable for use on the plane. Zhang Zhimu said, "It seems that all our electronic equipment has been used on our plane!" ”

"Yes! Compared with the previous planes, our current planes are called airplanes. Whether it is the maneuverability, speed, altitude and range of the aircraft, the previous aircraft are too bad! Li Yunhe's pride in the current aircraft is beyond words.

"Huh! If only there were a number of planes, there would be no need to fight in the future! When we went north, we had a total of a few planes, and the Mongols were frightened crazy when they saw someone beating them from the sky! "Zhou Yuji has used the Air Force to fight, and he has more right to speak.

"This time, we have brought Yoo Sung-huang back, and we are going to form an independent air force. It is up to him to specifically coordinate the training operations of the Air Force, as well as the logistics support for the production of aircraft! Zhang Zhimu said.

"That's the best!" Li Yunhe said, "Liu Chenghuang is really this material, but Li Wei is probably reluctant!" ”

"Li Wei knows this, and he has a lot to do. Besides, the Air Force will be part of Li Wei's responsibility in the future. Zhang Zhimu said, "By the way, Yunhe, let's study with Li Wei when we have time." I also talked to Uncle Chen and Mr. Ouyang that we wanted to form an armored division that could respond quickly. Li Wei is responsible for the formation, what kind of equipment is needed, let's study it together. ”

"Oh this! I suggest that you also seek the opinions of the front-line generals! They know best what equipment the army needs. Zhou Yuji said, "In the future, there will be an air force, and then there will be some mechanized troops." The number of our soldiers could have been reduced somewhat. ”

"That's right! I also mean to take the path of elite soldiers. In the future, the main force of military personnel should still be professional soldiers. Zhang Zhimu said.

When returning to Yaogang, Li Yunhe, Zhang Zhimu, and Zhou Yuji took the same car.

Zhou Yuji didn't miss the opportunity to tell Zhang Zhimu about his business, "Mr. Zhang, the north is now our own." But the population over there is too small, even some of the population, most of them are herdsmen, and there are some people who make a living by hunting and fishing, and the quality of personnel is too bad according to our Han people, so we have to migrate to this side on a large scale! That's what I'm going to discuss with you when I come back this time. We have a lot of resources over there, but we need people to mine them! Give us some captives, and we'll be gone! ”

"Alas! It's not easy to immigrate. Zhang Zhimu said, "We can't force people to emigrate. Even if you force you to go, you can't keep people. I think you should also build some large-scale farms, hire workers from the mainland to work with high salaries, and you should build a better local environment, so that those who go to work will like to stay in the local area, and you will give some subsidies to those who stay and settle down. This way you can retain people. This is the approach that is being used in many places. You can also build a few border guards over there, cultivate them on the spot, and encourage the border guards to go home and marry wives and then settle down in the local area. It's also a way to increase the population over there. ”

Li Yunhe interjected: "General Zhou, your north is too big, and it is not enough to give you 10 million immigrants. I don't think you should be greedy, build a few large settlements, and slowly form towns! ”

Zhou Yuji said: "Hmm! You all have a point! ”

Back in Yaogang City, Zhou Yuji made an appointment with Zhang Zhimu again to have a good talk. Zhang Zhimu, who was a little tired, wanted to go back to the office to take a rest, so he went home with Yang Yulin, but as soon as he entered the office, Yang Yulin complained: "In the future, when you go out, bring the radio!" ”

"Oh my God! You don't want to give me any free time! ”

"Hey! Li Yan kept calling you, and I asked him to call the airport, but you left the airport again. I can't reach you without a radio! Yang Yulin said with some displeasure.

"It would be convenient if you had a mobile phone!" Zhang Zhimu remembered the benefits of mobile phones in his previous life and blurted out.

"What phone?" Yang Yulin stared at Zhang Zhimu and asked puzzled.

"Nothing!" Zhang Zhimu knows and talks a lot, and now he doesn't want to spend time explaining the matter of mobile phones, because the current technology can't solve the problem of mobile phones. But a thought suddenly appeared in my mind, our current technology can be a pager! Thinking of this, he asked Yang Yulin, "Hey! Yulin, you said we had something like the smallest Peninsula radio, and the radio could display digital. We wear this thing on our bodies, and when we go out, when someone wants to call us, and when they can't find us, they send a phone number through a special paging station asking him to call back, or give the phone number of this paging station. After receiving this displayed number, the person can find a nearby public phone to call back, or call back to the pager radio station and listen to the sender's message. Isn't this stuff very useful? ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about, but if you can let people know that someone is looking for him, and let him know what call to call back, it will work. There are so many people doing business outside that it's impossible to sit at home all of them. In particular, every shop and restaurant in our kiln gang has a telephone, and there are public telephones everywhere, so what you say will definitely work. Not to mention anything else, our kiln officials and staff can be equipped with one, don't be lazy if you want to hide, you have to accept the command wherever you go! Yang Yulin will still be very sure of Zhang Zhimu's idea.

"I'll tell Yang Chang about this tomorrow. Tell me what Li Yan is looking for me? ”

"I didn't ask, but I looked a little anxious!"

Zhang Zhimu hurriedly dialed Li Yan. As soon as the phone rang, Li Yan said: "Mr. Zhang, I have something to tell you!" Our representatives are arriving one after another. We briefed them separately as previously planned. Tell them about the requirements to attend the meeting and also tell them how to write a proposal! However, there are many problems, and it is not okay not to pay attention to them. Many of our deputies are illiterate, and some of them cannot write in the vernacular. It is likely that there will not be enough people in our Secretariat organization. At present, all the cadres who can be transferred from our various organs are busy with the affairs of the meeting, and there is no way to draw more people. ”

"I don't think you need to worry about this." Zhang Zhimu thought for a while and said: "In this way, we invite the senior students of Yaogang College, as well as the senior students of your Yaogang College of Commerce, Law and Law, to take out a part of the meeting to enrich the secretariat." Let them help those who are illiterate and need help one-on-one. All the way to writing out a proposal for them, then sending it to the computing center to print it out and giving it to them for review. Files entered in the computer can be recorded on tape, and when they need to be modified, they can be called up for use. ”

"Yes, yes! Transferring some students is a good way to do it, and it is also a workout for students. Li Yan said, "I also went to the computing center to take a look, and those people from the General Staff Department entered Chinese characters very quickly, and it was really much more convenient to have a computer." That's right! Editor-in-chief Fan came to their printing house with a few masters, and they said that as long as they could print the characters on white paper, they could make them into wooden boards or zinc plates for printing. It's much easier to print something in the future! Although the glyph is almost a pencil word, this convenience is really irreplaceable! ”

"Huh! I've asked Yang Chang and them to develop a better font. There will be many fonts in the future, and this is just the beginning. Zhang Zhimu said, "In the future, you can also install a terminal in your office, but you all need to learn to type first." In the future, your own written materials can be managed by computer. It's very easy to write something and revise it. ”

"Can we use computers too?" Li Yan obviously wanted to be able to use a computer, but he felt that the computer seemed too far away from him.

"In the future, each of us will have to be able to use a computer, and of course, we don't have to be as fast as those in the General Staff to enter Chinese characters. We're fast enough! Hehe! Take your time, that's the beginning! Zhang Zhimu said.

Seeing Zhang Zhimu put down the phone, Yang Yulin said, "Most of my people have been borrowed by Li Gongzi and them, why are they not enough?" ”

"There are a lot of illiterate deputies, and they can't write proposals, so we have to arrange for someone to help them!" Zhang Zhimu replied.

"Hey! Did you just say that we all have to use computers in the future? Yang Yulin is also interested in computers.

"Yes! In the future, if you don't know how to use a computer, you may not be able to do your job. But there is still a process to be done. Zhang Zhimu said, "Thinking about it tomorrow, we will ask the computing center to install a remote terminal for us." I'm going to be the first to set an example and take the lead in using computers. ”

"You also use computers?" Yang Yulin asked.

"I'm afraid that no one in the Ming Dynasty will be more than me!" Zhang Zhimu said, "Our computers can use the basic language. There are sixteen main sentences in total, and I'll take the time to teach you! ”

"What's that?" Of course, Yang Yulin didn't know what basic.

"It's the most basic computer language!" Zhang Zhimu said, "However, these basic sixteen sentences can theoretically complete all the required procedures!" ”

"I don't understand any program, just teach me how to get Chinese characters into the computer." I read it, those people in the computing center are amazing, an article, they can show it on the screen in a while. That's what I want to learn! ”

"Good! Practice well, I estimate it won't be long before you can surpass them! Zhang Zhimu said.

"Can I be as fast as they are?" Yang Yulin couldn't believe it, but was full of expectations.

"Of course, your martial arts foundation is so good, it means that you have a fast reaction and can't be slow in your hands, you should surpass them!" Zhang Zhimu encouraged.

"Good! If you teach me well, I will definitely surpass them! Yang Yulin made up her mind.

The next day, when Zhang Zhimu and Yang Chang talked about the pager, Yang Chang looked at Zhang Zhimu in surprise and asked, "Mr. Zhang, how did you come up with this?" ”

"Leave that alone, let's talk about the technical difficulties, right?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

Yang Chang thought for a while and said, "There is no problem with receiving signals in the superheterodyne type. The problem is that you are talking about showing the phone number. Not to mention the complexity of receiving digital signals, the display is also a problem. We can now display it with a cathode ray tube, but that thing is too much power for a small battery! There are more batteries and it is inconvenient to carry. ”

"In this way, we don't want to be too desperate for anything. We can start with a simple one, first get a sound only one, not display. When the pager rings, the holder can call back to the pager, and they will inform the user of the message or the phone number that needs to be replied to according to the password on the password reported by each pager user. Isn't that easier? ”

"It's so much easier! You'll be able to get it right away! Yang Chang said.

"As for the display, you have to go and study with Master Qingfengzi, when they were engaged in semiconductors, they had already discovered the phenomenon of diode emitting light. I've asked them to develop practical light-emitting diodes. If such a diode is developed, the power consumption of the display will be much lower. Besides, we can also use a switch to control it, and when we need to look at it, we can light up the display diode, and when we don't look at it, we can turn off the display part. By the way, you also have to contact Li Di and ask them to develop a small motor that can fit into a pager. ”

"What are you doing with a motor in a pager?" Yang Chang asked suspiciously.

"You guy, think about it, what if you can't hear the pager in the padded clothes in winter, or take the tram and the noise is loud and you can't hear it? Wouldn't we solve it if we made a vibrating one? Zhang Zhimu explained.

"Oops! It's complicated to get a mechanical vibrating device in mind! Yang Chang said.

"It's not complicated, just install a small partial wheel on the motor drive shaft!" Zhang Zhimu said.

"Oh! It's a lot easier, I'll arrange for someone to do this right away, and I guess it won't take more than a month to come out. We have ready-made transmitters, is it okay to use 150 megabytes? Yang Chang asked.

"Yes! You first use parts to get it out, and then you integrate all the semiconductor devices, so that the pager is smaller. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Also, we can use the newly developed SMD components on the pager, and we can reduce the size even more!" Yang Chang said.

"The next step is to develop a phone number display. The next step is to develop a message that displays Chinese characters! It's a very big market, so work hard! Zhang Zhimu said.

"It's difficult to display Chinese characters, and if you use a cathode ray tube to dot the matrix, it will consume too much power. I just don't know how about the power consumption of the diode lattice that hasn't been made yet? Yang Chang muttered.

"Alas! The next step is to develop liquid crystal display devices! Zhang Zhimu said to himself.

"Mr. Zhang, tell me quickly, what does the liquid crystal display device mean?" Yang Chang was willing to listen to Zhang Zhimu talk about new things.

"This matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words, when we have time, we will ask Master Qingfengzi to sit down and study this matter together." In fact, Zhang Zhimu doesn't know much about liquid crystals. Just to make a project, when I used the liquid crystal as a light switch, I touched the liquid crystal. However, the general principle is still clear.

Zhang Zhimu admires Yang Chang, Li Di and a group of them, many things, Zhang Zhimu knows a little bit of things, and he can't even explain the principle clearly, just give them simple hints, and they can do things well. In fact, when it comes to research, the question of direction is the big problem. When you don't know the direction, you have to go through countless research and exploration to find the direction. And finding the direction, many questions are simpler.

Yang Chang said that he would strive to solve the pager matter within a month.

After talking to Yang Chang about the pager, Zhang Zhimu came to Li Yan and their conference preparation center again. However, when Zhang Zhimu saw Li Yan, he saw that Li Gongzi, who usually had a calm face, looked a little annoyed.

"What's wrong! Li Gongzi, he looks unhappy! Zhang Zhimu joked.

"Oops! Mr. Zhang is here! After listening to Zhang Zhimu's words, Li Yan, who was a little distracted, knew that Zhang Zhimu was coming, "Please sit, please sit!" There's something I want to talk to you about! ”

After Zhang Zhimu sat down, he asked, "What, what's so difficult?" ”

"It's almost ready, just waiting for the guests!" Li Yan said, "With Mr. Lu in charge of the reception, we are much more relaxed!" ”

"Huh! Mr. Lu is very good at handling such things, and I haven't seen anyone compare with him in this regard! Zhang Zhimu said, "What I admire most is that he is so energetic and busy every day, which I really can't compare to him!" ”

"Yes! Mr. Lu is really a genius, he is so busy, and the busier he is, the younger he becomes. This is a person who can pick up anything and put it down, and I really can't compare! Li Yan also said with admiration.

"I have been advising Mr. Lu to pay attention to his body, we have a lot to do, but he is still the same! No way! Zhang Zhimu said.

"Hey! Let's get down to business," Li Yan said, "for this conference, we have done too much work up and down, and the documents we have drafted can be piled up. However, when I got in touch with the delegates who came first, I found that they didn't seem to be interested in what they were studying or doing at all. When we arrived at the kiln, we organized a meeting for them to explain some content, but they were not willing to participate. It seems that he is interested in eating, drinking, and walking around. Every night, we have to watch the TV before going to bed, and if we don't get up in the morning, we can't arrange a lot of things. We can't talk about them. ”

"I'll go and talk to the heads of their delegations about this, and let them manage it!" Zhang Zhimu said.

"These are small things," Mr. Li said, "and I wondered, are we really going to rely on these people to run our future country?" I got in touch with some of them, and they told me that they listened to us completely, and if there was anything to be voted on, they would definitely raise their hands and agree, and they would never cause us any trouble! I asked them, you are the representatives of the people in your region, and you should come to the meeting on their behalf and speak for them. I think these people are a little confused, and they don't know that there are all these things here. Later, I learned that many of the deputies were selected by officials from all over the country, and their standard was obedience! What's the use of such a conference? ”

Li Yan's expression was gloomy, obviously very disappointed.
