Chapter 181: Build a Personal Computer
Based on this, Zhong Baicai considered this matter before going abroad, that is, he must find a way to get a personal computer as soon as possible, and then use encrypted CNC programs to enclose and protect the core content of the entire special fertilizer to prevent it from being leaked artificially.
It's not that Zhong Bai doesn't believe that the Shanping County Fertilizer Factory can get in touch with this matter, or that he doesn't believe in the entire project team led by Tong Sifang of the Provincial Chemical Research Institute, but because in the current environment where Huaguo does not attach much importance to intellectual property rights, it is almost impossible to achieve confidentiality in all aspects.
Where there are people, there are favors, and where there are favors, there are unknown channels, which is also true in China at any point in time.
And with the encrypted CNC program, at least there is no problem with using it to block the mouth of human affection, want to take away any information about special fertilizers? Sorry, there will be a clear record of the relevant on the computer program, which is not only a silent refusal, but also the best protection measure for the special fertilizer itself, because the technical espionage in this era is pervasive.
When it comes to encryption, we have to mention a very important carrier, that is, electronic computer programs.
The electronic computer is not a new term in 1981, because the world's major countries have long designed and manufactured it, and China's first electronic computer was born on August 1, 1958.
As early as 1956, in accordance with the requirements of DZY and GWY's "12-year science and technology development plan", the Institute of Computer Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was established in 1956, and the technical strength of the Academy of Sciences, the Tenth Bureau of the Second Machine Ministry, the scientific research units of the army, colleges and universities and factories began to develop electronic computers, and successfully completed the development of electronic computers in 1958.
But Zhong Bai's idea is not to use his small special fertilizer technology to use national resources to put it in the national electronic computer to encrypt, he wants another way: use personal computers to program encryption.
And in 1981, it was the year when MD's famous IBM company launched its first personal computer, ushering in a new era of computers!
Others don't know how much impact the advent of personal computers will have on this world, but Zhong Bai knows!
Computer encryption programs are an absolutely unfamiliar thing to 99.99% of people in this world at the moment, but for Zhong Bai, it is as ordinary as eating and sleeping.
Even for the vast majority of people under the age of 50 in 2019, they have the experience of using an electronic computer and entering a password, not to mention encryption awareness.
Now, how to get a personal computer of his own through special means has become the focus of Zhong Bai's attention.
Therefore, after Zhong Bai left the large army, the destination he went to alone was......
St. Laurentstrasse in downtown Bern!
Another special place here is the only Chinese newspaper in Switzerland founded by the older generation of Swiss overseas Chinese more than ten years ago - "Oriental Times"!
And Zhong Bai's purpose of avoiding the large army and coming here alone is a bit complicated, involving several things.
But the most important thing is to get yourself a new IBM personal computer!
Speaking of which, some people may be puzzled, aren't you Zhong Bai a hero in the industrial circle of Tianhe Province who became famous in this battle, and what is so difficult about getting a new computer?
But only Zhong Bai knew how difficult it really was!
It's 1981, not 2019, not to mention that 1981 is the year when MD's famous IBM company launched its first personal computer and opened up a new era of computers.
Because it's not only expensive, it's impossible to buy at all!
It's almost impossible to buy it in China if it's a private person, it's not a question of whether you have money or not, it's that you can't get so many dollars to buy it.
And if the public pays for the purchase, not to mention whether the foreign exchange unit of several thousand dollars will be approved, it is approved, and at least the provincial department must be approved at the provincial level, which means that Zhong Bai's purchase of personal computers is known to everyone in the provincial system!
That's not the rhythm he wanted!
It took him about twenty minutes to walk to St. Laurent Street, and with his memory, Zhong Bai quickly found the address of the newspaper office of the Oriental Times at No. 52.
However, when he saw the newspaper office more than 20 years ago, he still felt a little emotional.
It barely changed much from the memories of his past life!
Speaking of which, there are still some connections between myself and this "Oriental Times" newspaper in my previous life.
In 2017, Zhong Bai came here as an entourage of the Chinese New Year delegation, and had a pleasant exchange with Ms. Lin Ailian, the director of the newspaper of Eurasia Times at that time and a famous overseas Chinese who had lived in Switzerland for many years.
In 2013, the Eurasian Times was established, and the Eastern Times was the predecessor of the later Eurasian Info!
Eighty percent of the staff of this newspaper are overseas Chinese, and almost all of them are concerned about the development of the motherland; it can be said that in Switzerland, apart from the traditional Overseas Chinese Friendship Association, the Chaozhou Association, and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the most influential organization in Switzerland is the "Oriental Times."
If Zhong Bai is not mistaken, "Oriental Times" was also one of the few independent newspapers in Switzerland at that time that had the qualification to go to MD to report and report.
Therefore, finding here, Zhong Bai naturally hopes that through his own communication, the "Oriental Times" can find a way to use the gap between the interview and report to MD to help him buy an IBM personal electronic computer, and then find a way to mail it back to China for his own use.
In this way, instead of buying directly from MD, you can naturally avoid many intermediate processes, and the most important thing is that Zhong Bai does not need to exchange US dollars, he only needs to pay Swiss francs, and he can easily get this IBM personal electronic computer that is currently difficult to obtain in China in the name of the newspaper by virtue of the trade agreement between Switzerland and MD!
As for some people saying that the Swiss franc is also foreign exchange, isn't it difficult to get it?
Wrong! Don't forget, Zhong Bai just signed the No. 3702 patent transfer fee agreement yesterday, and all the dollars obtained from the patent transfer fee will be converted once at the Swiss Patent Office, and then the license fee will be remitted to the account designated by the Ministry of Industry of China.
Before the patent transfer fee entered China, Zhong Bai had many ways to get the Swiss Patent Office to intercept a part of it for his own use, such as ......
Have a good talk with Alden about cooperation!
Zhong Bai has long considered that Alden is a gap that can be opened, and the deputy director of the Swiss Patent Office, who seems to have a hot temper but is actually shrewd, of course, also has his weakness.
After getting the 3702 patent, a cash cow that fell from the sky out of thin air, Zhong Bai had enough reason to believe that Alden would definitely try his best to maximize its benefits.
