Chapter 256: Science Fiction Laboratory

Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's interested inquiry, Li Zhonggong introduced: "Cars and tractors running on the ground, airplanes and airships flying in the sky. The assembly line factory produced new methods, new submarines and diving suits, PVC plastic and elastomers, and even more importantly, we built the first electronic computer using transistors. ”

Fang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "So many good things, you guys are really amazing, tell me about that electronic computer, how is the calculation speed?" How many additions can be done per second, and how much volume is there? ”

Li Zhonggong said: "Very fast, 50,000 additions per second, but the volume is not small, it occupies a full 50 square meters, and we have also specially designed a set of large-scale water cooling circulation system for it for heat dissipation." ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded, this result was much better than he expected, the first computer on the earth, 'Eniake', would occupy a space of one hundred and seventy square meters, weigh thirty tons, and the computing speed was much slower than this one in the Chinese Territory, only one-tenth of his speed. But it's no wonder, after all, 'Eniake' is a tube computer, and this one is a transistor.

Fang Xiaoyu instructed Li Zhonggong: "This electronic computer should be developed as soon as possible to improve its performance, which is very important to us, and using it to carry out data calculations for scientific research experiments can speed up scientific research a lot." If you want to improve the speed of electronic computers, the most important thing is to integrate transistors. ”

Li Zhonggong was puzzled: "What is an integrated circuit?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled and introduced: "This is the knowledge of electricity, and Tesla should be relatively easy to understand." ”

Tesla spread his hands and said, "Young master, your theory is too profound, I don't understand." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "This is very simple, that is, the circuit board is made into a printed circuit board, the transistor is made as small as possible, and then the very small transistor is installed on the printed circuit board according to the pre-designed circuit, and then the circuit board is sealed, so that the circuit can be split, easy to check for faults, and easy to repair and replace." Moreover, the transistors on the integrated circuit are very small, resulting in small heat generation, which can greatly improve the life of the transistor. ”

Tesla nodded: "I understand the rest, but what is this printed circuit board?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu continued to explain: "Aren't you making circuit boards now by soldering transistors to the circuit board and then connecting them with wires? ”

Tesla nodded, "yes, what's the problem?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "The problem is no, but there is a simpler way, you just need to design the circuit in advance, draw the required wires on the circuit board with copper sheets, and then brush the anticorrosive paint on the copper sheets that need to be retained as circuits, and then put the whole circuit board into the acid, those unwanted copper sheets will naturally dissolve in the acid, and the remaining copper sheets are wires, which can solve many problems and reduce the weight of the circuit board after it is made." ”

After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's explanation, Tesla patted his thigh and said, "This is really a genius idea, dear young master, how did you come up with it." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Just thinking about it and thinking about it, I came out." ”

Tesla glanced at Fang Xiaoyu enviously and said, "I really wish I could have such a smart mind as you, it's really a great loss for mankind that you are not a scientist." ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Some people have described me like this before, but I think it will be a big loss for mankind if I give up my current career." ”

Several people came to the factory area after saying this, and Fang Xiaoyu was the first to jump out of the car and inspect the factory here accompanied by several other people.

In the factories of the Wild Continent, there is already a very strong modern atmosphere, in Fang Xiaoyu's opinion, there is already the level of the old documentaries of the fifties that he watched in his previous life, at least there are many machine tools here, busy assembly lines can be seen everywhere, cars using batteries pull goods over and over again, and battery forklifts carry heavy parts.

After walking around, Fang Xiaoyu looked at several large factories such as automobile factories, steel factories, and chemical plants, and asked strangely while walking: "What you just introduced is all civilian industry, and now you see it is also civilian industry, why didn't you mention the military industry?" ”

Li Zhonggong said with a smile: "It's better to look at the civilian ones first, and tomorrow it's better to look at the military industry after watching the experiments." Fang Xiaoyu also felt reasonable, nodded and continued to visit.

At the northernmost end of the entire factory area is a very modern four-storey building, and it is surrounded by barbed wire and heavily armed guards. Fang Xiaoyu said strangely: "Why is the guard here so tight, the security of the factory area is already very tight, why do you need to add a post?" ”

Tesla explained: "This is one of the most important research institutes in the entire Savage Continent, where I was responsible for the research on electronic devices, and our first electronic computer was also here. ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Really? We're going to have to take a good look at this, so let's go inside. ”

After going through a few security measures, Fang Xiaoyu and the others came to the small building, he looked around and said strangely: "What? It's empty, it doesn't seem like there's anything, right? ”

Tesla laughed: "This is a cover-up, our laboratory is actually underground. ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "You guys are really a little nervous, is it necessary for you to be so safe in the Wild Continent?" ”

Tesla said: "Be careful, it's not a big mistake, let's enter the experimental base first." ”

Tesla pushed open a secret door on the left wall and walked in, and everyone followed. Inside the door were two elevators, Tesla led everyone up to an elevator, pressed the code on the keyboard in the elevator, and the elevator immediately started up and sped down.

Sitting in the elevator that descended smoothly, Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "You guys are so advanced here, it's like watching a science fiction movie." ”

Tesla wondered: "What is a science fiction film?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "It's nothing, it's a movie variety in my conception, the full name is science fantasy movie, I mean you are a little too advanced here, much more advanced than the leading technology in the world." ”

Tesla smiled: "I see, in fact, these are the results of the research based on the paper you gave us, young master, these two elevators are the highest technology crystallization of our laboratory, just made for a year, that password disk is actually a mechanical device, even if it is used in other countries now, but they are used on the lockbox." ”

Fang Xiaoyu suddenly realized, it turned out that what he thought was a little complicated, it seemed to be a very sci-fi thing, but in fact, it was completely achievable by using the current level of science and technology to find another way, but I don't know if the space flight can be achieved under the current scientific and technological conditions. Thinking of this, Fang Xiaoyu laughed at himself randomly, he wanted to go back to the earth and wanted to go crazy, he actually had such a whimsical idea.

The elevator descended rapidly, and after a few minutes the elevator door opened silently, behind which were dozens of heavily armed guards and two machine-gun emplacements.

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Such guards are too tight. ”

Tesla laughed: "It's completely a precautionary measure, we are now more than 200 meters underground, and we are surrounded by reinforced concrete walls up to 10 meters thick as support." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Let's go inside and have a look." "Under the leadership of Tesla, after passing several security checkpoints, everyone came to a busy laboratory.

Tesla laughs, "This is one of my electrical labs, and they're working on radar systems right now. ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Has the research been completed?" ”

Tesla shook his head: "Not yet, although a radar prototype has been built, but the clutter has a great impact on it, not only is it difficult to find the target that needs to be found, but after working on it for more than ten minutes, the soldier is dizzy by the clutter." ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "It's still not powerful enough, and the filtering of clutter does take a lot of work." ”

Fang Xiaoyu knew in his heart that what such a primitive radar lacked was the mature technology of magnetron, but the technology of magnetron was a bit too high for the current level of science and technology, so it was better to wait for time and Tesla or Einstein to ask them to conduct pre-research first, or let Xiaofeng conduct theoretical research to sort out the papers.

After turning around a few rooms, the scientific researchers didn't seem to see Fang Xiaoyu at all, no one looked up at these people, they were all doing experiments wholeheartedly. Seeing the selfless work of the scientific researchers, Fang Xiaoyu nodded secretly.

At this time, Tesla pointed to the group of instrument cabinets in front of him and said: "You see this is our first electronic computer, we all call him 'Huayu No. 1', which is the meaning of one word each in the names of the Chinese collar and the young master." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "This name is good, 'Huayu No. 1' I hope you can build better and better computers, and not only in terms of hardware, but also in terms of software, software should also speed up research, without good software support, hardware can not play the greatest effect." ”

Then Fang Xiaoyu explained the basic concepts and principles of software and hardware, and Stella nodded again and again. The entourage on the side was stunned for a while, and everyone secretly admired that the young master was really an all-encompassing superman.

Everyone was casually visiting the laboratory, and Fang Xiaoyu asked in his mind, "Xiaofeng, what do you think of the electronic computer just now?" Can you copy one of your doppelgangers into it? ”

Xiaofeng was silent for a long time before replying, "Although you can, I refuse to enter." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said strangely: "What is it for?" ”

Xiaofeng replied, "This computer is too slow, and it would be an insult to me if my doppelganger entered such a computer." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Then what kind of computer do you think you need to match your identity?" ”
