Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 236 The leader comes again to visit the second-generation aircraft (please subscribe)

After several factories producing electronic components succeeded one after another, the final electronic components needed for the supercomputer were also manufactured.

It was already November by then. After Zhou Fengnian received the news, he immediately went to the workshop.

Fortunately, he had taught almost everything that needed to be taught, and other technicians also knew how to create and improve the operating procedures of the supercomputer.

They were all as anxious as Zhou Fengnian. The three-year plan sounded a bit unrealistic, especially after the supercomputer had just completed over 100 million calculations, it was time to increase the performance and number of calculations tenfold.

But Zhou Fengnian had already said it and made a promise in front of the leader, so he had to do it.

It is not only about competing with Aramco for the world's first supercomputer and the status of a computer power, but also about national defense research and development computing and so on.

Zhou Fengnian was also busy in the workshop, and was busy until the last step, when the supercomputer was completely manufactured.

"Oh! Success!"

"Great, Director and Secretary, we succeeded again!"

Cheers and shouts of celebration instantly boiled over, and the technicians and workers who had been working all night for dozens of days shouted excitedly at the top of their lungs.

They even lifted Zhou Fengnian up and threw him high into the air.

Fortunately, he caught it later and threw it twice before being stopped by Yan Zhengzhi, who freed Zhou Fengnian from the air.

It's already seven or eight o'clock, and the shouting directly shocked the security department. Now the factory's security department has expanded to 120 people, and there are also sixty people in the night shift, so the security force is very strong.

The patrolling security team was startled by the shouting and quickly came over; when they approached and asked, they found out that it was just a happy event and nothing else had happened.

The Security Department is afraid of this kind of situation happening at night, so they are very opposed to overtime work.

If they happened to encounter enemy spies destroying equipment and they did not stop them, they would be punished with ten sticks afterwards; but if the enemy spies destroyed the equipment and killed their important technical personnel.

Then their security department will double the punishment, the employee will definitely be fired from his job, and the leadership will be held accountable, among other punishments.

"Director, please test the performance!"

"Yes, Director, let's see if our research results are as expected."

After cheering and celebrating, the technicians in the workshop said that they couldn't wait to find out.

Zhou Fengnian also wanted to know, so he said loudly: "Okay, don't worry, start the test now."

After a series of tests, we finally understood the performance of the Shenzhou Unit 2.

The number of calculations was the same as that of the finished product Zhou Fengnian made in the simulation space, reaching 1.8 billion times per second, which was a good sign.

If the name had not been decided in advance, Zhou Fengnian would have wanted to change his name to Jindouyun Computer.

Other functions have also been greatly improved. Compared with the first generation of Shenzhouzi computers, there have been improvements in all aspects.

"Okay, okay, okay, fellow comrades, our project is a success!"

Zhou Fengnian announced loudly, causing another round of cheers in the workshop; the security members standing outside slightly covered their ears, but they also had smiles on their faces. It was an honor for everyone to have made a contribution to the factory.

Three years have passed from the establishment of the plan to the successful R&D and manufacturing; and the first two years were the R&D establishment stage, when Zhou Fengnian led Yan Zhengzhi and technical staff to carry out research and development on paper.

They started manufacturing it only when the production of personal computers was almost completed.

In less than three years, the second generation of supercomputers was built, and the number of calculations was increased tenfold.

If the people on Amei's side knew about this, they would probably be so shocked that they would keep calling out "God". Amei would think that it was their God who betrayed them and came to China to help them build the second generation supercomputer.

Just as Amy mocked them at the beginning of the year after creating a supercomputer with a computing power of nearly 300 million times, they will have to mock her in return next.

"Tomorrow I will report to the leadership and let them see our research and development results. Today, everyone should go back and have a good rest.

I know some people haven’t slept well for several days, and some even only sleep three or four hours a day. Now I want to emphasize here that the body is the capital of revolution, so don’t spend all your capital!”

"Let's all go back and rest!"

After Zhou Fengnian asked everyone to calm down, he began to send them home.

They indeed did not get enough rest during this period, and even Zhou Fengnian worked overtime every day. However, Zhou Fengnian was in good health and could be said to be a model of energy.

Even if he stayed up all night for three days, he might just feel tired and exhausted, but there would be no physical problems.

Everyone agreed. Now that the project was completed, they certainly wanted to take a good rest.

Yan Zhengzhi came close to Zhou Fengnian and said, "Fengnian, you guys go back, I'll watch here."

"Old Yan, I was talking about you just now. Look how tired you are. Your eyes are bloodshot!"

Zhou Fengnian interrupted without thinking and refused: "Don't even think about staying. I'll ask the security department to send you home later. I'll check your health tomorrow. You're so old, and you're still fighting."

If Yan Zhengzhi was in his forties, Zhou Fengnian would have turned a blind eye, but the old man is in his early sixties and is still competing with a bunch of young people, so forget it.

After semi-threatening Yan Zhengzhi to go home and rest, Zhou Fengnian called the captain of the security department again and carefully instructed him to patrol the workshop, and then went home to rest.

Today is a really good day. Zhou Fengnian was in a good mood when he went back home, and he accidentally closed the door a little loudly.

It woke up both the son and daughter, but the two younger ones were too lazy to get out of bed. They turned over, muttered a few words, and then fell asleep again.

However, Zhou Yan got out of bed wearing a coat. When she saw Zhou Fengnian coming into the room after washing his face, she asked, "Fengnian, what's wrong with you today? You look so happy."

"Of course there is good news in the factory. The project we developed before has finally succeeded. We can call the leader to come over for inspection tomorrow."

Zhou Fengnian said with a smile, and then he walked forward and hugged Zhou Yan, unable to hide his joy: "Wife, I was too busy before, and the family depends on you alone"

"Why are you still saying such things? We are already an old married couple!"

Zhou Yan said a little unhappily, isn't this how things should be between husband and wife? When Zhou Fengnian is busy, she should worry more about household matters.

Besides, Zhou Fengnian was busy with important things, not drinking or playing cards, so of course she had to support him wholeheartedly.

"Haha, I won't be so busy next time. Last time I was excited and boasted to my leader, but I had to finish what I boasted, so I rushed to such a tight time."

After Zhou Fengnian put Zhou Yan down, he explained while changing his clothes, "We'll talk about the time to complete the task later. I have to be very careful and try not to make myself too tired."

The Electronic Computer Factory has been very successful in the past three years, completing all three important projects.

A small factory with only a few hundred people produced nearly 5,000 personal computers, made a major breakthrough in photolithography, and finally developed the second generation of supercomputers. Who would believe it if I told you this?
Their amazing R&D achievements may only be matched by Director Yu from the Northwest.

Zhou Yan urged: "Go to bed early, don't you have to meet the leader tomorrow?"

"That's true, but I'm a little excited now and may not be able to sleep for a while."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he put his arms around Zhou Yan's waist; although he had given birth to two children, his wife's figure had not changed at all, and she was just like those women who practiced dancing in the art troupe.

She is 32 years old, but she has a more mature charm; she has enough food and clothing, no worries, and even uses things like vanishing cream regularly, so Zhou Yan's appearance is well maintained.

After noticing Zhou Fengnian's actions, Zhou Yan's face flushed slightly. She felt relieved and whispered, "I'll go turn off the lights."

"Leave a lamp on"

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he hugged Zhou Yan and pressed her under him. Then the familiar sound of swaying wooden boards and chanting could be heard in the house.

------

The next morning, Zhou Fengnian got up early, feeling refreshed. After getting dressed, he went out to buy breakfast.

After buying ten big meat buns and a pot of soy milk, I returned home.

When he just came back, Zhou Yan had also gotten up. Her face was rosy as if she had drunk some tonic soup. She was urging her son and daughter to wash up.

After finishing breakfast, Zhou Fengnian prepared to go to work in the factory. However, when he was packing his briefcase in the study, his son Zhou Xianyang suddenly pushed the door and walked in.

He looked so cautious, just like a secret agent.

Zhou Fengnian asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Did you get into trouble at school and you don't dare to tell your mom?"

"I'm not in trouble, Dad, can you give me two dollars?"

Zhou Fengnian asked: "Hmm? What do you need money for? Don't I give you pocket money normally?"

I usually give my two children fifty cents every week, which is enough to buy a lot of snacks, and they don’t have to buy stationery or notebooks.

"I'm not buying anything. A classmate of mine has no money to pay for tuition. I saw him picking up trash on the street yesterday."

"Oh, my son is quite a man of honor. But he would rather pick up trash to pay for his tuition. I guess he won't ask you for money. You should find a way to give it to him."

Zhou Fengnian didn't suspect that his son was lying to him at all. He and Zhou Yan had raised their son and daughter very well. Moreover, Zhou Xianyang never hid his bad deeds and would confess to him after doing any mischievous things.

Even if no one found out, Zhou Xianyang would secretly confess to him, and Zhou Fengnian took him to apologize the next day, of course without telling Zhou Yan.

"I can give you the money. Come and help me copy books tomorrow."

"understood."

Only by working can you get paid. This is the idea that Zhou Fengnian has instilled in his son since he was a child.

After Zhou Xianyang took the money, he left and planned to go to school. At the same time, he shouted his sister's name in the yard, thinking that she was slow and procrastinating.

After arriving at the computer factory by car, Zhou Fengnian immediately called his leader and reported to him the good news of yesterday.

"Leader? Hey, when can you come over to see the results of our computer factory's mission?"

"Yes, apart from the second-generation supercomputer, our factory has no new tasks. Of course we have completed them. Otherwise, we would be lying about our military achievements."

"Okay, then Secretary Yan and I will wait for you."

After Zhou Fengnian hung up the phone, he asked Pan Heng to run errands to notify Secretary Yan and the two deputy factory directors.

Yan Zhengzhi knew about it a long time ago, and his main task was to notify the two deputy factory directors and ask them to arrange meals at noon.

After a while, Leader Luo came with a more senior leader, the one to whom Zhou Fengnian often reported his work.

After hanging up the phone, Leader Luo reported the news. Leader Gu also came this time. It can be said that all the leaders and deputy leaders of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building were present.

The world's first supercomputer, such an important thing, how could they be absent?

When Zhou Fengnian saw the person coming, he stepped forward to shake hands with some joy, and then asked with some concern: "Leader, why are you getting thinner and thinner?"

The leader smiled kindly and said, "Haha, my appetite is a little poor, but after hearing the good news from you today, I should be able to eat a few more bowls of rice."

"When Amei hears the news, she may be so anxious that she can't eat. Leader, you should go and see the results first. I'll make you two appetizers for lunch."

There are not many people who can cook for him now, and the person in front of him is one of them; but this is all he can do, there is not much he can do.

"Then I'm in for a treat at noon. I've always heard that you're a very good cook, and today I can finally fulfill my wish."

Afterwards, several people walked towards the workshop while chatting. After entering the workshop, the leader soon saw the second-generation supercomputer.

The Son of Shenzhou II computer is smaller than the Son of Shenzhou I computer, but has stronger performance and is close to modern supercomputers.

The development of the electronics industry is constantly improving, and the performance of supercomputers will become stronger and stronger.

At least under Zhou Fengnian's influence, the manufacturing levels of these electronic factories in Sijiu City are among the best in the world.

Zhou Fengnian introduced a lot, and finally concluded: "If Director Yu in the northwest uses the No. 2 Shenzhou Son computer, then the longest verification time they spend can be shortened by at least five times.
And our electronics factories have been pushed forward by at least ten years because of the need to manufacture this supercomputer.”

"Well, Fengnian, you did a great job."

After hearing this, the leader praised generously: "I know the difficulty of developing a supercomputer. I also asked them three years ago and referred to the time it took Amei to develop a supercomputer.
We know that three years is too difficult, and even being able to develop and manufacture it within five years would be a huge surprise for our country. But you have worked really hard and shortened this time by two years. "

"Leader, it's nothing, it's all as it should be."

Yan Zhengzhi also said excitedly: "Yes, leader, it's all for development, not to mention we often eat meat!"

"Comrade Yan, you have worked hard too."

The leader knew Yan Zhengzhi. When he celebrated the New Year with domestic scientists, Yan Zhengzhi also went with them.

The tour was then considered over after Zhou Fengnian gave the leaders a detailed introduction to the manufacturing time of the Shenzhou No. 2 computer, as well as data such as its cost.

Near noon, Zhou Fengnian went to the cafeteria in advance to prepare dinner, and asked Yan Zhengzhi to keep an eye on the leader and not let him just take a few bites of food and leave.
