"Yes! Destroying a rebel force in the Amazon jungle is no small task, and the logistical supplies needed to mobilize the army alone are enough of a headache.

Now it's up to us to see if the first wave of attacks from the defenses here will work! ”

Hearing Fang Lang's words, Sirio Leitch hesitated and slowly spoke:

"Boss, I'm not optimistic about the border guards' encirclement and suppression of the Eddie brothers, because as far as I know, this armed force has close contacts with the border guards, and it is not clear that the border guards have not yet started to act, and their plans have already been mastered by the Eddie brothers."

Fang Lang was not surprised at all when he heard this, nodded with a smile and said:

"This is normal, otherwise why would Brissel Eddy dare to blatantly and directly announce the establishment of rebels!

It would be a big joke if he couldn't even resist such a simple first wave of attacks.

As things stand, Brissot Eddie is no such brainless person.

He must have something to rely on! ”

"Shall we do something about it?"

Sirio Leitch asked with some melancholy.

"No, it's not time for us to make a move, your task now is to find a way to arrange for someone to break into their interior, find out their information, we must know where their camp is,

The routes of the transport DPs, as well as their organization, must be investigated.

Either we don't do it, or if we do it, it will be a thunderbolt and we will completely wipe them out. ”

"Yes, boss! However, we don't know much about them, and it can take a bit of effort and time to get in. ”

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, safety is the most important thing!"

At the same time, in Porto Alegre in Rio Grande do Sul, a computer research team led by Conrad Chuzer finally reassembled his fourth-generation electronic computer, the Z-4.

"Mr. Chu Ze, do we need to notify the boss that they are coming over to participate in the test?"

Conrad Chuze's assistant looked at the big guy in front of him who occupied almost the entire room, and asked Conrad Chuze with some excitement.

"No, this computer was developed by me as early as 1945, and it is not a new research.

It's just that the original computer was moved by the British, and now we are just finished reassembling it, and we have nothing to be proud of. ”

In Konrad Chuzer's mind, the Z-4 computer was not a new achievement, after all, he had already been successfully developed in Germany as early as 1945.

But in the eyes of assistants and others, this is a new kind of high technology, especially when Konrad Chuzer designed a programming language, plankalkuel, and the calculation has become very simple.

It turns out that the calculations that require a lot of manpower and a lot of time to complete can be completed only by entering the relevant books, and the computer can quickly calculate the correct answers.

In particular, when the data that a group of people took more than half a day to calculate was accurately answered by the computer within two seconds, it was like seeing God for these assistant researchers who came into contact with the computer for the first time.

If it weren't for everyone's participation in the assembly of this big guy, they would even have to wonder if Mr. Conrad Chuze was cheating, because it really broke everyone's understanding.

It's not clear what this big guy can do, but the fact that he's able to dramatically reduce people's computing time is shocking enough.

"However, Mr. Conrad Chuzer, the boss has high hopes for your research, and we have completed the corresponding research, I think we should show our results to investors, right?

Only then will the boss continue to invest more money in us. ”

Hearing this, Conrad Chuze was silent for a while before he said slowly:

"You're right, if we want to have more advanced computers, we do need a lot of money from the boss.

We really should have told the boss to come over and see for ourselves the big guy we've assembled.

In addition, it was my boss who helped me a lot and helped me set up this brand new lab, which allowed us to launch the Z-4 again.

I guess I really owe a good debt of thanks to the owner. ”

Then Conrad Chuze shook his head a little helplessly and said:

"It's a pity that the assembly of our Z-4 is still delayed, and in February this year, the U.S. military commissioned the University of Pennsylvania to assemble an electronic computer.

Although my Z-4 was successfully researched as early as 1945, the original machine had been dismantled by the British, and now the Americans have announced that they have developed the world's first electronic computer. ”

From here, it can be seen that Conrad Chuze did not want to inform Fang Lang that his new computer had been assembled.

Rather, they are not convinced by the announcement by the Americans this year that they have developed the world's first electronic computer.

Obviously, he had developed the world's first real electronic computer as early as 1945, but because of the war, he missed the title of becoming the father of computers.

It's no wonder that my heart can be happy!

The assistant felt his emotions and hurriedly spoke:

"Professor Conrad, don't be discouraged, I think if we can prove that our Z-4 did come out earlier than the American computer, we can regain the honor that rightfully belongs to us, don't we?

I think with the influence of my boss, I will be able to help you. ”

After all, according to Fang Lang, he is one of the shareholders of Bell Labs in the United States, and he should know many experts and professors in the field of electronic computers, maybe he can really help him regain the honor that should belong to him!

"You're right, we're going to inform the boss and show him what a great presence our Z-4 is."

Soon, the news reached Fang Lang's ears.

Fang Lang, who heard the news, was very excited, and flew directly to Port Alegre without hesitation.

Originally, there was no airport in Porto Alegre, but with the increase of Chinese immigrants, Fangyuan Group's investment in Rio Grande do Sul increased, and in order to strengthen the connection between Rio Grande do Sul and the outside world, the airport service company of Fangyuan Group built its own second airport in Porto Alegre.

And began to operate this new route, opening two routes, Rio de Janeiro to Puerto Alegre, São Paulo to Puerto Alegre, as for the route of Port Alegre in Nataldo, which needs to be refueled in Rio de Janeiro.

The main reason is that this line is still only a branch line in Brazil, and there is no need to have a direct route from Natal to Porto Alegre, after all, there is not much business between the two cities to maintain the normal operation of a route.

When Fang Lang took a special plane to Porto Alegre, he immediately came directly to Conrad Chuze's computer laboratory.

Looking at the computer in front of him, which occupied an entire huge room, Fang Lang had an indescribable feeling of shock, and Conrad Chu Ze on the side felt very happy when he saw Fang Lang's expression, because being able to shock the Dao boss meant that his research was successful, and the funds for further in-depth research in the future were settled.

"Conrad, can you introduce me to this big guy?"

When Conrad Chuze heard this, he said with a smile on his face:

"Boss, this is what I told you, the fourth generation computer I developed in 1945 used binary computing, and the memory unit expanded from 64 bits to 1024 bits, all composed of relays.

With the programming language I designed, very complex math can be done with ease. ”

But when Fang Lang heard the familiar 1024-bit storage unit and binary calculations, he knew that he had definitely picked up a treasure, although he didn't know what these specifically represented.

However, people who have come from later generations are still familiar with these two numbers of computers.

Especially when he heard that he was using a specially designed programming language, he was even more shocked, and he still didn't know how different this programming was from later generations of programming methods such as C.

But a computer with programming ability is a real computer in Fang Lang's view.

Then, Conrad Chuze covered up for Fang Lang how to use programming languages and completed a very complex set of calculations.

When the calculation result was directly displayed, Fang Lang was so excited that he almost didn't jump.

Without hesitation, he grabbed Conrad Chuze's hand and said:

"Conrad, I'm pretty sure you're a genius, you can use relays to build such an advanced computer, I'm going to patent it for you and make your name sound all over the world."

When Conrad Chu Ze heard this, his expression was a little dark:

"However, in February this year, the University of Pennsylvania in the United States announced that they had developed the world's first electronic computer."

"Haha..... Never mind! As long as we can prove that your Z-4 was developed in 1945, we can take back the honor of the inventor of the world's first computer.

However, it seems that your computer is somewhat different from the computers studied by Americans, right?

I remember the newspaper said that the computer studied by the Americans seems to use more than 17,000 tubes, more than 7,000 diodes, and more than 1,500 relays, while yours uses a relay. ”

Fang Lang is not a professional electronics expert after all, and his knowledge in this area is really not enough, so he is not sure how much difference there is between the two computers.

When Conrad Chu Ze heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said:

"I've seen this news before, and I have to say that the American computer is much more advanced, and his calculation speed is 5,000 additions or 400 multiplications per second, which is 1,000 times faster than my relay-style calculator.

All, in terms of sophistication, it must be that his computer is more advanced. ”

Originally, he thought that the computer researched by Conrad Chuze would be very advanced, but when he heard that the calculation speed of the American computer was a thousand times that of his, Fang Lang was slightly disappointed.

However, he soon realized that in 1945 Conrad Chuzer had single-handedly developed this kind of computer that relied solely on relays, although it was not as advanced as the one developed by the University of Pennsylvania.

But no one can deny that he was the first in the world to successfully research electronic computers.

Konrad Chuzer's excellence is unquestionable.

Therefore, Fang Lang immediately changed his mentality, patted the other party's shoulder with a smile and said:

"Although, ours is not as advanced as the other party, but we have to finish it earlier than them, right?

Moreover, it turns out that it is all studied by yourself, and the other party is indeed the power of experts and professors from an entire university.

In this way, you are much better than them, so don't be discouraged.

Besides, the tubes used by the other party are not the most advanced computer materials.

As I told you, I'm a shareholder in Bell Labs, and now Bell Labs has a new research project called a point-contact germanium transistor, which is a small, low-power electronic device.

It can completely replace the bulky, power-hungry electron tube, and I think the transistor is the future.

I think we should act now and use this new transistor material to make a computer that is more advanced than the American Eniake. ”

Eniake is the name given to the first electronic computer by the Americans.

When Conrad Chu Ze heard Fang Lang's words, a bright light immediately bloomed in his eyes.

Originally, he could only work alone behind closed doors, and had no contact with the advanced computer cutting-edge technology in the outside world, but now it is different, Fang Lang has equipped him with a lot of excellent assistant talents, these people are professionals who graduated from various universities in Europe and the United States with related majors.

With their help, their Z-4 was able to be rebuilt in such a short time.

Now Fang Lang told him that there was a new material that was smaller and consumed less energy than electron tubes, which made him a treasure.

Can't wait to speak:

"Boss, is this true? Is there really a better material than a tube? ”

Seeing the other party's excited look, Fang Lang nodded affirmatively and said:

"Yes, the transistor made of this semiconductor material was invented by the engineer Lillianfeld as early as 1929, but because the technology at that time was not enough, the material used to make this device was not pure enough to be manufactured on a large scale.

But after such a long period of development, the technology to make transistors is now mature, and Bell Labs has been able to complete the manufacture of transistors in a laboratory state.

It only takes a while for us to master the technology of industrializing transistors, and then we will be able to make more advanced, smaller, and more energy-efficient electronic computers. ”

"So what are you waiting for? Boss, I think it's time for us to do it, and if you can provide me with enough materials, I'll be able to build a more advanced computer. ”

Conrad Chuze was extremely shocked that such an excellent new material had appeared in the world, which he did not dare to imagine, but now he could get the news of this new material in the first place.

Bringing his research directly to the forefront of the world made him excited and felt that he had come to Brazil without a mistake.

When Fang Lang heard this, he smiled and said:

"Don't worry, the lab is still studying how to complete the industrial manufacturing of transistors, as long as the research is successful, I will set up a transistor manufacturing plant in Brazil as soon as possible.

I plan to familiarize you with the properties of this material first, and then you can start the preliminary research and design work.

When transistors can be industrially manufactured, you will be able to use state-of-the-art transistors directly to make electronic computers. ”
