Chapter 528: Technology Supreme
With the technical support of the powerful science and technology of the China Foundation, the third industrial revolution with informatization as the core finally spread rapidly within the territory of the Chinese Empire, and the economic development of the whole country grew again like a chicken's blood.
The superiority of computers soon spread throughout the world, mainly because of the laptops that foreign correspondents of major television stations and newspapers commonly carried. With such a novel tool, it was only natural that the journalists of the Chinese Empire would soon become the focus of their counterparts from all over the world.
People are vain, and after the reporters showed off the convenience of computers to their peers, the reporters of the Chinese Empire themselves became the objects of reporting by their foreign counterparts. Headlines such as "The Chinese Empire Develops an Epoch-Making Magical Machine" began to appear in newspapers around the world, and although the computer functions they heard from the reporters of the Chinese Empire were only a few bits and pieces, it was enough to amaze the people of all countries.
Journalists from all over the world first challenged their respective CEOs, and they couldn't do this job. The news I found abroad also needs to be recorded with pen and paper, and after streamlining, find a telegraph office and send it back to the agency, and then the newspaper editor will re-polish it, such a process is too complicated, and if there are news photos, it is even more troublesome, it must be transported by cruise ship, and when the cruise ship arrives at the destination, it is estimated that the news has become old news.
Look at the reporters of the Chinese Empire, the laptop has its own camera, you can take pictures of the news or pictures you see directly, and the manuscript can also be directly entered into the computer, and then transmitted back to your headquarters in real time through the network, which is super fast. Even the reporters of the Chinese Empire who lived in the western continent could send back the news faster than the reporters in their own city, which was too shocking.
In addition to journalists, most foreign scientists also quickly discovered its superiority, mainly because of the exchange of scientists, such conferences are often held in various countries, and the latest annual scientific conference in Essen has seen the computer products of the Chinese Empire. Scientists in the Chinese Empire, like journalists, had formed the habit of carrying laptops with them, and they always went abroad with a laptop to the conference.
When a scientist of the Chinese Empire and a foreign scientist were arguing about certain issues, in order to prove his point of view, the foreign scientist naturally had to take out a pen and paper, apply various formulas on it, and calculate little by little, and write more than a dozen pages at a time.
Scientists in the Chinese Empire, on the other hand, took out their computers, opened the scientific research software that the China Foundation had programmed for them, listed the formulas used, and entered the raw data, which only took a few seconds to accurately calculate the results.
With the help of such a sharp weapon as a laptop, the civil scientists of the Chinese Empire (the scientists of the China Foundation will not participate in such an annual meeting, because their level is too low) this year can be regarded as a comprehensive suppression of their counterparts in various countries, and they have won all the victories in various private polemics, which has greatly stimulated the nerves of scientists in various countries.
Journalists are just making a small fuss, but these scientists are different, which of them is not a noble god-level figure of various countries, with their joint appeal, even governments do not dare to underestimate it. After learning about the capabilities of computers, even government departments and the military became interested in these things, and governments soon began to approach the Chinese Imperial Government and the Chinese Foundation to introduce this revolutionary electronic product.
The Chinese consortium also replied very happily, and it was open to sell, as much as it wanted, but according to the "High-tech Export Restriction Law" of the Chinese Empire, the export of high-tech products must be subject to 20 times the tariff. If all countries want to buy a 100 yuan smart 1 computer in the Chinese Empire, the price of a 100 yuan computer sold abroad will be raised to 120 yuan, and the export cost price will be 2,520 yuan after adding tariffs, and 3,500 yuan per unit after adding freight and profits.
What kind of concept is this, even if prices are rising now and people's living needs are rising, the normal consumption of each family of five in the Chinese Empire will not exceed 1,500 yuan a year, not to mention other countries with lower living standards. And this price is still the cheapest Flexible 1 desktop computer, and the price of the Flexible 1B laptop in the Chinese Empire is 150 Chinese dollars, and the Dawning 1 server is as high as 1,000 Chinese dollars, not to mention the more expensive automatic switches and other supporting equipment.
What is this concept?,Countries can only buy some blood.,In addition, the computer only has the Dragon God 16 operating system.,Only the Chinese version of the system is supported.,Aberdeen and other small languages are not supported.,If you want to use it, it's okay.,Learn Chinese.。 When computers and the Internet enter thousands of households, Chinese will become the world's language in the future, and it will be the only one.
Now there is only one computer, there is no other branch, if you want to use it, you have to buy the Chinese Empire, even NATO allies, but fortunately, NATO allies have already begun to popularize Chinese, and they have no language barriers. In the face of advanced equipment with so many advantages, especially it can speed up the progress of scientific research, even if it is smashed and sold iron, it must be bought, and the Boston Empire, which has always aimed to catch up with and surpass China, was the first to make a purchase request.
The Boston Empire didn't buy much, with 100 Dawning 1 servers, 100 Flexible 1 desktops, and 100 Flexible 1B laptops. This money is not much, in the minds of the Boston Imperial Government, the scientists who have always thought that they are second only to the Chinese Empire in terms of science and technology will definitely be able to reproduce these computers in a short time, and then the Boston Empire will have a new electrical industry, even if they need to pay patent fees to the Chinese Empire, with such a large demand in the entire world, they can still make a lot of money, but they will soon be dumbfounded.
Although these computers are still several generations behind the computers used by China Island, the level of its chips has also reached a considerable height, especially the CPU, although it is only equivalent to the level of Pentium 2 on Earth, but it also uses 0.35 micron technology, the core is composed of 4.5 million transistors, and the complex miniature circuit is enough to dazzle the eyes of those Boston scientists.
They have never seen VLSI circuits, their thinking is still stuck in the era of electron tubes, even a single transistor has only been developed in the last two years, and the printed circuit board is still being studied, how can they understand such a complex miniature circuit? Even if they understand it, with their current fine processing capabilities, they can make such a thin wafer?
In the end, they came to the conclusion that the Boston Empire would not be able to replicate such a device for at least ten years, and even if it was such a statement, they were not willing to be too embarrassed and insisted on saying it, and several Boston electronics leaders privately said that with Boston's current level of technology, they would not want to replicate it within 50 years.
At this moment, the Boston Imperial Government is dumbfounded, completely unable to manufacture, completely incomprehensible, what kind of concept is this, which shows that compared with the scientific and technological level of the Boston Empire and the Chinese Empire, there has been a generational gap, or even several generations.
The Boston Empire is like a primitive man who has just learned to drill wood to make fire, and the modern man of the Chinese Empire needs to teach him how to use it before he can use it, and these primitive people can only learn how to use it. Not to mention the principle of manufacturing, even if a whole set of drawings is given to this primitive man, he may not be able to read it, and in this case, how can the primitive man make a new lighter.
Since science and technology are not as good as people, they can only catch up, but according to those scientists, computers can greatly speed up their research, in order to increase the efficiency of scientific research for various academies of science, the Boston Empire had no choice but to admit it, and the government allocated a huge amount of money to order more than 30,000 flexible 1 computers and hundreds of servers from the Chinese Empire again for the research of various scientific research institutes.
As for the private purchase of computers, the government does not care, anyway, in order to popularize high-tech products, the Boston Empire does not impose any tariffs on high-tech products. The situation in other countries is similar, countries that don't have much scientific and technological strength directly and honestly buy finished products, and countries that think they have some strength will introduce some for disassembly research, and after dismantling N units, they are also told that they can't be copied, and those that are disassembled can't even be put back together.
After the unimaginable, all countries could only honestly buy all of them, and only the Yaman Empire, which was good at precision machining and had a certain level of electronics industry, built an enlarged version of the desktop computer according to the principle of the computer.
But this computer can't be regarded as a desktop computer, because it occupies a space of 200 square meters, and because the electronic components become larger, the heat generation is also large, and the cooling equipment specially installed for it weighs more than ten tons, and it also needs a special line to power it. Of course, having this computer is also a big progress, and the Yaman Empire can only use the finished products imported from the Chinese Empire while conducting research.
Governments only introduce computers for scientific research institutions for scientific experiments, but they have no idea that the enthusiasm of the people for the use of computers is not lower than that of scientists. With the wide coverage of newspapers and television stations, people from all over the world became aware of this miraculous machine, and many wealthy merchants began to buy this novelty product. At first, they just bought computers as luxury goods and accessories, after all, it feels like a new gadget to have such a new gadget at home.
