Chapter 189: The First Electronic Computer
"Dr. Tommy Fairors, Dr. Turing, you have made outstanding contributions to our electronic numerical integration and computer, and now, the Empire will bestow upon you the glorious title of Holy Aryan!" When he heard that the electronic computer had been developed, Ciric couldn't wait to fly straight from the wolf's den to the University of Munich and see the computer in front of him.
As a person who has traveled back in time, Ciric certainly understands the huge role that computers can play, not to mention that with the development of his own ballistic missiles, Dr. Braun has completely lost his head.
Every time a flight test was conducted, a room full of people under his command had to use a hand-cranked calculator to calculate for several weeks, which was quite a complicated process.
And now, with computers, everything is about to change!
Dr. Turing, with a smart brain, is the winner of countless titles, what is the father of modern computers, the father of artificial intelligence, etc., at the beginning, after the accidental discovery of Dr. Turing, Ciric helped to give advice, using agent Faulcan, successfully seduced Turing, and let Turing obediently work for the empire.
As for the other person, it is even more of a precious asset of the Empire, Dr. Fairloers, an important computer expert comparable to von Neumann!
Generally speaking, all kinds of computer textbooks call Eniake the world's first computer, born in the United States in 1946, and Dr. Neumann played a prominent role in the development of computers, for example, until now, all computers are built according to the structure of von Neumann.
However, during the war, it also prompted some countries to develop computers, such as the United Kingdom, which believed that its own Kolozas was the real world's first electronic computer, which was more than two years before the ENIAC computer came out.
During World War II, Germany's "Lorenz" encryption machine was the main encryption machine used for communication between high-ranking German generals, including Hitler, and it was very difficult to decipher the encrypted ciphers.
The main purpose of the development of the "Korosas" computer was to decipher the ciphers encrypted by the "Lorenz" encryption machine. The development of the "Korosas" computer began in March 1943 and was shipped to the Bletchley Park at the end of the same year. On January 10, 1944, the "Korosas" computer was put into operation.
Of course, from this point of view, it seems a bit too much to call it an electronic computer, after all, it is only used to decipher codes, but the person who developed it undoubtedly also had a brilliant mind, and this is Dr. Fellauers.
In order to win over Turing, Ciric used a lot of brains, but Dr. Fellers was much easier.
After taking LinkedIn, Dr. Fellers did not leave with George VI, he remained at his university, and when he found this man, the German Gestapo quickly approached him and asked him to cooperate, and he happily agreed.
In this era, there are still many people who are aware of current affairs, either following the fall of the old empire or gaining a new life in the new empire, and Dr. Fellauers is clearly the latter.
There are not many computer experts in Germany, and with these two people as the backbone, the development of electronic computers in Germany has begun to enter the fast lane, and what makes the two excited is that Germany's transistor technology has given them a greater stage to display.
As a result, the first generation of German computers appeared in front of me.
This computer, which is not comparable to the microcomputers of later generations, is a large cabinet, standing in the center of the laboratory, covering an area of less than ten square meters, all plugged in by circuit boards.
Historically, Eniake occupies an area of 150 square meters, and the transistor is much smaller than this tube computer.
"Our first-generation computer used 17,000 transistors, 600 tubes, 6,000 switches, 7,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, 500,000 lines, 14 kilowatts of power, and 5,000 additions per second." Dr. Fellers said to Ciric.
Although transistors are used in large quantities, tubes are still indispensable in some circuits, and such circuits are still relatively large, but they can perform 5,000 operations per second, which is quite an amazing result, and he is very satisfied.
Ciric nodded, seeing that the behemoth was making a buzzing sound, it was the fan inside the cabinet dissipating heat, Ciric looked at the paper tape on one side, it was constantly spitting out, it was printing the results.
Today's computers, unlike those of later generations, have no keyboards, no display screens, and the input and output are all based on punched paper tape, which is of course inefficient.
Cillik, who was born in engineering, still knows a little about it, and now that the computer has just come out, he can use paper tape for input and output, but it is quite inconvenient.
Although it is not possible to implement all kinds of fool-like programming tools in later generations, it should be possible to consider the initial ones.
"We can invent an assembly language." "In a computer, a compiler is designed to replace the opcode of the machine instruction with a mnemonic character, and the address of the instruction or operand with an address symbol or designator," says Ciric. In this way, we can enter data a hundred times faster. ”
The paper tape records zeros and ones, which is quite cumbersome, and it is much more convenient to describe it in one language! Ciric had studied PLC in his previous life, and he was still familiar with this assembly language, so he told about it now: "For example, we use SHL to represent the logic left-shift instruction, followed by a number to represent the left-shift instruction, and then we can directly perform the operation." ”
Ciric only said this, and Dr. Fellers already understood, and in front of his eyes, it seemed that there was already something like a typewriter keyboard, and between the keyboard and the computer, a conversion circuit could be added!
This will greatly improve the efficiency and reduce the chance of errors, and the input and output are all perforated paper tape, which is quite cumbersome.
"Führer Ciric, your wisdom really impresses us." Dr. Fellauers' eyes lit up as he said to Ciric.
That's where the Traveler comes in. For Ciric, as long as the most superficial ones of later generations are taken out, they are new ideas one by one, and they are absolutely correct, survival of the fittest, and those mistakes have long disappeared in the long river of history.
"I hope that you will guard against arrogance and rashness, continue to develop new computers, simplify input and output, and your contributions to the empire will be written in history."
These people will definitely enter the history books, and Ciric knows very well that the emergence of electronic computers has completely changed the whole world. At least for now, it is not only the ballistic calculation of ballistic missiles, if it is improved, it can be installed on warships for fire control calculations, and when the volume is reduced again, it can be installed on airplanes and even tanks.
"Führer Shirek, a new situation has arisen in the Balkans, the Greeks have hit the territory of Albania." After returning to his car at the University of Munich, an adjutant came to report to Ciric.
