Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 205: No. in the World! (Subscribe)
The deal with John Bull and Gallicus has been finalized. As for what John Bull and Gallicus will trade with us, that depends on the next negotiations with them.

However, everyone knows that although transistor computer technology is very important, even if we don't give it to them, the big brother of these two countries, the United States, has almost developed it. The worst that can happen is that we can buy the patent from the United States.

Therefore, John Bull and Gallic Rooster could not exchange any important technology for this technology.

The final result was not unexpected. During the negotiation, John Bull was only willing to offer a complete Hans motorcycle production line and technology from World War II. As for Gaul, it offered the manufacturing technology of 10,000-ton civilian merchant ships.

After hearing the news, the higher-ups tentatively asked whether helicopter technology or semiconductor technology could be used in exchange, but both countries shook their heads and refused.

It's funny. Believe it or not, if they dare to agree to our request, the US will cut off their financial aid the next day.

Although World War II ended more than ten years ago, the economies of these two countries have not yet recovered.

In addition, the two of them had just been taught a lesson by the Eagle Sauce and Big Brother last month, so they dared not provoke the Eagle Sauce at this time.

Although we failed to obtain the semiconductor technology that we urgently needed and the helicopter technology that we had long coveted, we were able to obtain a production line and technology for BMW motorcycles from World War II and the technology for 10,000-ton giant ships. Compared with the fact that Big Brother only gave us one TV factory, it was not such a big loss.

“Oh, MG!”

The Americans naturally also got the news about the transaction between John Bull and Gallic Rooster and us, but when they saw that it did not involve any sensitive technology, they turned a blind eye to it.

However, not long after John Bull and Gallic Rooster exchanged the transistor computer technology with us, this technical information also fell into the hands of Eagle Sauce.

Looking at the design materials in their hands, IBM's engineers and technicians all exclaimed in amazement.

"This circuit logic structure is so beautiful, it's simply an impeccable work of art."

"Indeed, not only that, their frame structure also makes the most of the space, so the size is so small."

"Oh! The rendering looks just like a cute little sweetheart. I love this computer so much..."

Listening to the noisy voices of the employees below, IBM's technical director could not help but shout loudly: "Okay, stop sighing at other people's technology. Now who can tell me, with these materials, when can we have our own transistor computer?"

"Boss, don't worry. With this information, we can develop our own all-transistor computer in less than a week."

After hearing his subordinate's answer, the technical director nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I hope that in a week, these technologies can become our own."

While there was a lot of buzz outside about transistor computer technology, Yang Ning, the designer of this computer, had no time to care about it.

After November, there will be only one month left in 11 years.

It is time for all units to make the final sprint at the end of the year.

This year, because of the help of the newly established operation center to share the pressure, the workload of the processing center at the end of this year is not much different from usual times.

The computing center's "star lady" computer 107, after a successful test run, has a computing speed of 30 times per second, making it the world's fastest computer.

Because transistor computer technology had already spread, we did not hide this computer but instead promoted it openly.

This will not only conceal Yang Ning's existence, but also greatly enhance our national pride.

After all, our previous technologies were either breakthroughs in the field of basic materials or technologies that were not easy to make public. Only the successful development of transistor computer technology this time can reflect our achievements in the field of high technology.

As for jet planes, they were only successfully developed with the help of Big Brother and cannot be considered our own achievement.

"World number one!"

Recalling the headline on the front page of People's Daily on the second day after the operation center was established, Yang Ning smiled and shook his head after processing the last piece of data.

Looking up at the sky, he found that it was not yet noon. Yang Ning thought that there was still early, so he decided to have lunch here before going to Mr. Qian's place.

So he took out paper and pen, combined with the knowledge he had learned on the Internet in his previous life, and began to prepare for integrated circuits in advance.

The boasting has already been made. If Ms. Lin solves the problem of monocrystalline silicon after returning to China, but we are still unable to produce integrated circuits, that would be a big joke.

If you want to mass-produce integrated circuits, which we later called chips, you mainly need to conquer photolithography machines, photoresists, etching machines, and final packaging.

As for the equipment used to produce wafers, Yang Ning really didn’t know and could only wait for Ms. Lin to return to China and discuss it with her.

Of course, Yang Ning didn't intend to master all these technologies by himself.

Although today's integrated circuits do not require precision of a few nanometers, the areas involved in the production of integrated circuits cannot be solved by Yang Ning alone.

He simply classified and summarized the technologies needed to produce integrated circuits, and then handed these technical issues over to his superiors, who arranged for people to conduct research.

"Boss, Mr. Guo asked you to go to his place first if you are free this afternoon!"

After dinner, Yang Ning was planning to go to Mr. Qian's place to check on him. The previously damaged engine had been successfully repaired after more than a month of research, and today was the day for the test run.

Just as Yang Ning was about to go downstairs, Zhao Yang suddenly caught up with him and said to Yang Ning.

"Didn't Mr. Guo say anything?"

After hearing what Zhao Yang said, Yang Ning asked in confusion.

"I didn't say anything on the phone, I just asked you to go!"

"Okay, I get it."

Yang Ning was thinking about today's missile test. Mr. Guo must know about it, but now not only did he not go himself, he also asked Yang Ning to go to his place. He must have encountered some problems in the wind tunnel research.

The wind tunnel research base is not located at USTC like the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. After all, every experiment here is earth-shattering. If an accident occurs and USTC is blown up, it would be a big disaster.

Therefore, the authorities specially designated a piece of land on the outskirts of the city to build a wind tunnel research base. The meaning behind this is very clear.

"As long as no one dies, you can build as many as you want!"
