Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 241 The computing power problem has been basically solved (please subscribe)

"The computing speed reaches 100 million times per second?!" This computing speed has far exceeded that of other computers in the world, so the leaders and experts present exclaimed in amazement.

In the original history, it was not until the mid-70s, when the Eagle Sauce had developed the world's first supercomputer with a computing speed of over million times per second, that we developed a computer with a computing speed of million times per second.

Now that 58 years have not yet passed, we must have the integrated circuit production technology with sufficiently good performance. With the advancement of technology in the future, the world's first supercomputer may not be born in our hands.

Now our integrated circuit technology is fine. As long as we can research more advanced computer logic structures, developing computers with faster computing speeds will not be a problem at all.

After the test results of the large integrated circuit computer came out, not only were the leaders and experts on the scene surprised, but even the scientific research units and universities in other regions that had been watching the test could no longer sit still and rushed to Shu Province for visits and inspections.

What happened afterwards has nothing to do with Yang Ning. He was just an ordinary otaku in his previous life. Being able to develop our computer technology to this level is already his greatest ability.

Of course, if he plans to specialize in the field of computer technology in the future, perhaps our computer technology can develop faster, but Yang Ning decided that the development of computer technology in the future should be left to nature.

I believe that with the good start he has made, we have laid the foundation in the computer field. With the talents and hard-working spirit of our experts at this time, our development in the computer field will certainly not be slower than that of other Western countries.

It was not until this point that Yang Ning breathed a sigh of relief. After integrated circuit computers became popular, the Data Processing Institute should have completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

Because computer technology has developed to this point, it can basically meet our computing power requirements.

The unprecedented sense of mission and heavy sense of responsibility since the time travel were finally completely released in Yang Ning's heart at this moment.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Ning feels that at this moment, he has truly integrated into the larger collective.

After all, his personal abilities will become weaker and weaker with the promotion of integrated circuit computers.

"Comrade Yang Ning, I really don't want you to leave so soon!"

At the train station, the leader of Shu Province held Yang Ning's hand tightly and said reluctantly.

At this point, he was able to understand why the higher-ups attached so much importance to Yang Ning. Although he knew something about Yang Ning before, he had not personally experienced how much Yang Ning's presence would promote the development of local science and technology and economy, so he didn't care too much.

But after Yang Ning really came to Shu Province, in just less than half a year, he not only left behind an integrated circuit production plant and an integrated circuit computer production plant, but most importantly, he also left behind a huge wealth of knowledge to Shu University.

The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. Shu University, as the place where Yang Ning first demonstrated the C language, was the first to set up C language technology and microcomputer courses. The first batch of microcomputers produced by the Shu Computer Factory was also first allocated to Shu University.

Although the government supports the export of microcomputers, it has taken the most stringent protection measures for large-scale computers.

Since Shu Province was the place where we could hide things most easily, naturally, the task of producing large integrated circuit computers fell on Shu Province.

In addition, the world's only integrated circuit production line is now located here. These factors combined will greatly benefit the future development of Shu Province in the high-tech field.

At this time, the leaders of Shu Province really wanted to detain Yang Ning.

But when he thought about Director Nie calling Yang Ning every few days to urge him to go back quickly, he knew that his idea had failed.

Although Shu Province is currently leading the country in high-end technology and precision manufacturing, Sijiu City is ultimately our center.

Recently, there have been some subtle changes in the relationship between Big Brother and us. Although the normal economic exchanges between the two sides have not been affected because of the huge profits of "Shenbao", technical exchanges are no longer as frequent as before.

As a result, Big Brother's influence on us in the field of industrial technology began to decline.

If Sichuan Province wants to continue to reap the dividends of high-tech transfer by relying on its geographical advantages, its opportunities will become fewer and fewer unless our national security is once again faced with a major threat.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to keep Yang Ning in Shu Province.

In addition to those who secretly protected Yang Ning, those who returned to Sijiu City also included the first batch of microcomputers produced by the Shu Province Computer Manufacturing Factory.

Of this batch of computers, except for the forty that were retained in Shu Province for teaching at Shu University, the other sixty were all required to be sent to Sijiu City.

Although other colleges and research institutes in Shu Province were somewhat reluctant, they had no choice but to accept it when they thought that Shu Province's computing power was already the best in the country, excluding Yang Ning's bug.

"Is Comrade Yang Ning back?"

Just as Yang Ning boarded the train back to Sijiu City, Dean Qian couldn't wait to ask in the office of Director Nie at the newly built Aerospace Research Institute in Sijiu City.

Not only him, Mr. Qian was also sitting aside looking at Director Nie expectantly, wanting a definite answer.

During the half year that Yang Ning was in Shu Province, both our new generation of missile design and thermonuclear weapons research and development reached the final stage.

As a result, the computational workload of these two research projects has also increased.

The computing center's 107 machine has a computing speed of 30 times per second, but because it also needs to take other projects into consideration, it can no longer meet the computing power requirements of the two research projects.

So recently, both Mr. Qian and Dean Qian would ask about Yang Ning's whereabouts every few days.

The computing speed of integrated circuit computers certainly made them excited, but compared with Yang Ning's abilities, Yang Ning was more efficient.

"According to news from Shu Province, Comrade Yang Ning has now boarded the train back to Sijiu City. He should be able to return to Sijiu City in a week."

Director Nie looked at the two anxious people and said with a smile.

"That's good!" Mr. Qian and Dean Qian both breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Director Nie's answer. It would be good if Yang Ning could come back soon.

Thinking about the mountains of data and information waiting to be calculated for his own project, Mr. Qian asked curiously: "I heard that large-scale integrated circuit computers not only have low power consumption and stable operation, but also have a computing speed of one million times per second. The newly built Southwest Computing Center in Shu Province has been equipped with them. I wonder when our computing center in Sijiu City will be able to use them?" "That's right. The comrades from those research institutes in the south said that they will not bother Sijiu City in the future. They also have their own computing center in the south, and it's faster than ours." Dean Qian said sourly.

As the director of our Atomic Research Institute, how could he not know what a computer that can calculate at a speed of more than a million times per second means?

Not only that, it is said that Sichuan Province has solved the funding problem on its own and plans to install five such large integrated circuit computers in the newly established Southwest Computing Center.

If the Sijiucheng Computing Center had such computing power, they wouldn't have to frequently inquire about Yang Ning's whereabouts due to computing power issues.

"Haha, Comrade Yang Ning went to Shu Province this time and did several great things. Not only did he build the world's first integrated circuit production line, he also built a computer center with a computing power of 5 million times for the southwest. It is also said that he and local experts in the southwest jointly designed a microcomputer. In the future, each research institute will be equipped with at least one." Mr. Qian looked at Director Nie expectantly and asked.

The information and photos of the microcomputer have been sent back to Beijing. We will announce this achievement to the outside world soon, so Mr. Qian also knows the specific situation of this computer.

Speaking of which, when he first saw the photo of the microcomputer, he really couldn't believe that such a small computer could have an astonishing computing speed of 3.6 times per second.

If their Aerospace Research Institute could be equipped with a few such microcomputers, then in future scientific research, when they encounter general computing problems, they will not have to wait in line at the computing center for the results.

"That's true. Not only will each research institute be equipped with microcomputers, but there are also plans to offer computer courses in major universities across the country to train more talents in computer technology for the future." Director Nie nodded.

"Comrade Yang Ning brought back sixty microcomputer parts this time. These computers will be distributed to various research institutes and universities in the city in the future."

After hearing Director Nie's words, both Mr. Qian and Dean Qian were looking forward to Yang Ning's quick return.

"The higher-ups are also planning to build a computing center in Sijiucheng, Fengtian, Chang'an, Shanghai, and Guangdong Province in addition to Shu Province next year. Each computing center will be equipped with at least five large integrated circuit computers."

"In this way, no matter how the international situation changes in the future, it will not have a big impact on the development of our science and technology."

After hearing what Director Nie said, Mr. Qian and the other person nodded in agreement.

Although Big Brother had already begun to reduce its aid to us and withdraw their experts.

At the beginning, some people were worried about whether this would have any impact on our development, but judging from the actual situation during this period, the withdrawal of Big Brother’s experts not only did not affect our development, but with the withdrawal of Big Brother’s experts, it allowed us to move more freely.

After absorbing the advanced technology provided by the southwest region, the factory units where the experts of Big Brother had completely withdrawn not only did not have their production capacity and production technology affected, but on the contrary, because they had more advanced equipment and technology and adopted Hans' standardized production management technology, the quality of their products was further improved.

This shows that, at least in terms of industrial technology, we are not only not much behind Big Brother, but have even surpassed Big Brother in some areas.

If we add these six computing centers with a computing power of at least 5 million per second, both Mr. Qian and President Qian are full of confidence in our future.

"Comrade Yang Ning, thank you for your hard work!"

Because Yang Ning brought back sixty microcomputer parts this time, when the train Yang Ning was riding arrived in Sijiu City, President Guo and his men were specially sent to pick him up.

There was no way. Somehow the news that Yang Ning brought back sixty latest computers was leaked.

My goodness! During the time when Yang Ning was on the road, various research institutes and universities in the city almost fought in front of their superiors in order to compete for the quota for these computers.

Although it is repeatedly emphasized above that it will be available in a while, but who knows when that time will be? What is actually in your hands is the most real.

In desperation, the higher-ups had no choice but to ask President Guo to bring the computers to the Chinese Academy of Sciences first, and then set up a training class at the Chinese Academy of Sciences using these 60 computers.

By the time the personnel training is completed, the second batch of computers sent from Shu Province should have arrived, right?
"President Guo, why are you the one coming to pick me up? There's no need to do this!"

Yang Ning said in panic when he saw the people and car behind Dean Guo.

After all, it is already December. Although there is less snow this winter, the city is still dry and cold.

Dean Guo is so old, and he would come to the train station to pick him up in such a cold weather. To be honest, Yang Ning really didn't expect it.

"Haha~" Dean Guo smiled nonchalantly, "Why not? These sixty latest computers, I want to be the first to see them with my own eyes even if I have to crawl over here!"

Well, Yang Ning knew that Dean Guo was joking. After hearing his words, Yang Ning felt a lot more relieved.

So he pretended to be frustrated and said, "It turns out that I was just being too sentimental. I thought you came here to pick me up, but it turns out you came here to pick up the computer!"

"Okay, if I really come here to pick you up, I'm afraid you will definitely not be happy." Dean Guo said to Yang Ning in a bad mood.

After all, Dean Guo knew that Yang Ning was more family-oriented, so when his wife was about to give birth, Yang Ning went on a business trip to Shu.

Yang Ning has not seen his daughter since she was born. If he doesn't let Yang Ning go home now, this kid will definitely get angry with him.

Even the higher-ups, taking Yang Ning's situation into consideration, specially asked him to rest at home for two days after his return, and then go to his home in Shu Province to report on his work situation.

"Hehe~" Yang Ning smiled awkwardly after Dean Guo revealed his thoughts, and then asked doubtfully: "So you mean, I can go home directly now?"

"When I came here, my superiors specifically told me to tell you that you can go home now. As for work, you can wait for two days."

"Okay, then I'll leave first and leave things here to you."

When Yang Ning heard this, he couldn't wait to get into his car parked not far away and said to the driver: "Go home!"
