King of Technology: A Fresh Start in 1983

"Engineer Su, you..."

Chen Jianghe's voice was somewhat hoarse, and he choked on his words halfway through.

He knew the strategic significance of the Huaxin project, and even more so, he knew how important Su Wanqing was to Tiangong.

"I haven't agreed yet."

Su Wanqing interrupted him, her tone calm.

"The work on ACL is just getting on track, and the blueprint for [Pangu II] is just beginning to unfold..."

She paused, then added, "Furthermore, the preliminary research for the second phase of the Galaxy Supercomputing project also requires the collaboration of ACL."

"In my current position, I can better contribute to both Chief Engineer Zhang and Tiangong."

Chen Jianghe knew full well what Su Wanqing's choice meant...

She gave up the opportunity to become the absolute core leader of a national-level project.

They chose to continue cultivating this land in Tiangong that needed to be developed!

Su Wanqing stood up, walked to the bookshelf, took out a thick English original book, "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach," and handed it to Chen Jianghe.

Chen Jianghe accepted it with both hands: "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Research Method!"

"Take this book home and read it. It contains classic discussions on superscalars and out-of-order execution."

"Helpful for understanding next-generation processor design. Especially Chapter 7..."

"The design concept of the cache coherence protocol is very inspiring for the distributed processing units of the Galaxy Supercomputing Center."

Holding the heavy book, feeling the cold texture of the cover, Chen Jianghe felt a warm current welling up in his heart.

Su Wanqing's choice is self-evident.

She not only stayed, but also pointed the way for Tiangong's future technological breakthroughs!

"It's getting late." Su Wanqing glanced at the clock on the wall. "You should go back now. Be careful on your way."

Chen Jianghe stood up to say goodbye. As he reached the door, he couldn't help but turn back: "Engineer Su, please... take good care of yourself. Don't overwork yourself."

Su Wanqing stood by the door, the lamplight outlining her slender yet upright figure.

She nodded gently: "Yes. You too. The Heavenly Craftsmanship... is counting on you, but think it through."

"Don't just bury yourself in technology; communicate more with young people. This era is constantly changing, and many things are different from what you and I imagine..."

"If we become detached from the times and the market, it will be difficult for Tiangong to continue down this path."

Chen Jianghe paused, then turned around: "Engineer Su, I want to tell you that I didn't tell you the truth that day in the computer lab..."

Su Wanqing waved her hand: "Jiang He, there are some things we need time to think through."

"We'll give you an answer once you and I have figured out what Tiangong should do next..."

After saying that, the door was gently closed.

Chen Jianghe stood in the quiet courtyard, gripping the book in his hand, and sighed deeply.

At that moment, a clear thought suddenly arose in my mind…

Su Wanqing clearly knew his identity, but why didn't she point it out?

There's only one possibility...

She is a reborn person.

In her previous life in 2003, Su Wanqing died in a nationally sensational accident.

Did she...reborn in that accident?

No matter what, now that he has transmigrated to this world, he must prevent the accident from happening ten years later and prevent that tragedy from repeating itself!

...

March 1992, Pengcheng.

The Tiangong Southern R&D Center was brightly lit.

The air was filled with the smell of burnt solder.

"General Manager Chen! Team Leader Lin! The yield rate has exceeded 85%!"

In the packaging and testing workshop, production director Wang Liping held up a newly printed report and handed it to Chen Jianghe and Lin Wei.

On the production line, one by one, the [Pangu II] chips, gleaming with metallic luster, were precisely mounted onto the green PCB board by robotic arms.

After reflow soldering, cleaning, and testing, they are finally transformed into complete [Pangu II Multimedia Accelerator Cards].

Wang Liping continued, "Performance tests show a peak floating-point operation rate of 25 MFLOPS and a fill rate of 15 MPixels/s."

"Audio sampling rate supports 44.1kHz CD quality. Fully functional and WHQL certified for Windows 3.1."

Holding the test data, Lin Wei's face beamed with joy. "President Chen! We did it!"

"The Pangu II chip appears to have successfully entered mass production without any issues! Moreover, its performance will exceed the design specifications!"

"Great! That's wonderful!"

Chen Jianghe nodded. "Immediately notify Zhao Xiaobo! Launch the [Xuanyuan PC] marketing upgrade plan!"

"But remember! This is just for promotion; don't rush to increase sales!"

"Yes!" Lin Wei answered excitedly.

Three days later, the first Shanghai International Computer and Application Exhibition (Electronics Exhibition) will be held.

This time, Zhao Xiaobo's speech was much more confident.

"Everyone! The [Xuanyuan] computer has been completely upgraded! It is now equipped with the independently developed [Pangu II] multimedia coprocessor!"

On the large screen, dazzling special effects showcased the powerful performance of the [Pangu II] card and its promotional slogan:

[Xuanyuan Zhizun] 386DX2/66 Multimedia Computer! Shocking Price: 17999 RMB!

Configuring single:

CPU: Intel 386DX2/66

Memory: 8MB

Hard drive: 420MB

Graphics card: Tiangong [Pangu II] Multimedia Accelerator Card

Sound card: Integrated into [Pangu II]

CD-ROM drive: 4x speed CD-ROM (optional)

Operating system: MS-DOS 6.22 + Windows 3.1

At the same time, a carefully planned marketing campaign was launched simultaneously!

CCTV prime time slot GG:

Xuanyuan Computers! Multimedia!

All 50 [Xuanyuan] specialty stores nationwide are simultaneously changing their designs!

Huge poster!

Real device demo!

In collaboration with Kingsoft, we launched customized versions of "Kingsoft Movie Player" and "Swordsman Online" (graphically optimized version) based on the "Xuanyuan" theme.

At the same time, media, university computer science faculty and students, design institute system users, and core distributors were invited to visit Tiangong Pengcheng Factory and Beijing ACL Laboratory.

Showcase the research and development and production process of the Pangu II chip to reinforce the image of "technological leadership"!

A few months later, the market reaction was explosive!

Thanks to the overwhelming multimedia performance of the Pangu II card, it quickly became the preferred model for some high-end users in various industries.

"Mr. Chen! The Zhongguancun dealership in Beijing requests an additional 50 units!"

"Mr. Chen! The Shanghai dealership has requested an additional 50 units!"

"Mr. Chen! Yangcheng Daily is purchasing 30 units! They specifically requested the [Pangu II] edition!"

Zhao Xiaobo's phone was ringing off the hook, his voice was hoarse from shouting, but his face was beaming with joy!

【Chao Hui Supreme 386】Sales plummeted in the face of overwhelming technological superiority!

At the victory celebration banquet, glasses clinked and toasts were exchanged.

Holding a wine glass, Zhao Xiaobo, his face flushed, squeezed in front of Chen Jianghe: "This glass is for you! For Engineer Su! For Dr. Lin! And for our [Pangu Core]!"

"Brother Jianghe, have you considered lowering our prices slightly? Not by much, just to match Lenovo and Founder's prices..."

"I believe our sales will definitely increase several times over..."

Chen Jianghe smiled and clinked glasses with him: "Xiao Bo, don't forget! In terms of volume and price, Tiangong can't compete with those big factories, let alone those assembly machines that have no technological content."

"What we need to do now is to let the technological value of the Tiangong [Xuanyuan] brand gradually take root in people's hearts and gain market recognition."
