Courtyard Houses: The Great Masters of a Nation Hidden Within

There's no need to wait for input/output devices and program memory; you can start working on this right now because everything can be written on paper.

With this in mind, Gao Jianguo's mind started racing.

He could almost see a future museum dedicated to the history of domestically produced computers, where his handwritten instruction manual and the original programming notes would be neatly arranged in a glass case.

The sign next to it reads in large characters: "Design data and original manuscript of the first domestically produced all-electric crystal computer".

— Compiled by: Gao Jianguo.

With the young female commentator and a group of bright-eyed kids by his side, Gao Jianguo was so happy he almost blew snot bubbles out of his nose.

Hey, what are you thinking about?

He quickly pulled himself back to his senses and continued working.

Come at 4 PM on Saturday.

Inside the vacuum induction furnace laboratory, Gao Jianguo and his colleagues were in an uproar.

"It's done! It really worked!"

Deputy Section Chief Wu De is also here.

He doesn't usually stay in the lab; he's in charge of coordinating and running errands outside the technical department.

However, just as they were about to overcome the most critical hurdle in the thermocouple process, Gao Jianguo specifically called him over.

Gao Jianguo was holding two experimental records in his hand.

One is type K, nickel-chromium-nickel-silicon.

The ratio of nickel to chromium on the positive electrode is 90:10, and the ratio of nickel to silicon on the negative electrode is 97:3. Magnesium oxide is used for insulation.

The other one is N-type, nickel-chromium-silicon-nickel-silicon.

正极材料镍铬硅比例是84.4：14.2：1.4，负极镍硅镁是95.5:4.4：0.1，绝缘材料也用的氧化镁。

After temperature compensation was performed on the cold end of both devices, the thermoelectric potential output at 1000 degrees Celsius fluctuated around 40 millivolts.

Without ultra-low temperature equipment, the temperature range tested this time was from -20 degrees to 1300 degrees, without adding a protective tube.

Comparing the verification records and comparison records in hand, both thermocouples are quite good, with considerable thermoelectric potential, high sensitivity, and commendable stability and uniformity.

It has strong antioxidant properties and is inexpensive.

It works perfectly fine in an inert atmosphere with oxidizing properties.

The electrode repeatability verification has also been completed, and the process is under complete control.

Both the K and N types use the same material ratio, and the same process was used for three consecutive sets, with each set having an incredibly high degree of repeatability.

The biggest difference is that, looking at the temperature-electromotive force curve, the N-type curve moves more smoothly than the K-type curve.

Now that things have come to this, the thermocouple is a done deal.

Even without the support of the 3z-591 high-temperature alloy, the existing materials can still make it shine in a wide range of applications.

After all, not all jobs that require measuring high temperatures need to reach 1300 degrees Celsius.

Even in environments reaching 1300 degrees Celsius, protective tubes made of specially selected materials can withstand the conditions.

The 3Z-591 filled the last gap, enabling the mass production of thermocouples that can operate freely in 1300-degree environments.

Gao Jianguo held the test records and explained the data page by page to Deputy Section Chief Wu De.

Deputy Section Chief Wu De was so happy that his mouth almost stretched to the back of his head.

Having served as the deputy head of the technical department for so many years, he knew exactly what this thing meant.

Not only can they make great strides in their own factories, but they can also send large quantities of supplies to support other factories and mines.

Once everyone's excitement had subsided, Gao Jianguo raised his hand and pressed it down.

Everyone in the research group knew he was going to assign tasks, so they all kept quiet.

Gao Jianguo set the tone for the matter with a few words: "Everyone is happy, and I am happy too. We've come this far, and this thing is a success."

"Let's put in a little more effort and clean up the remaining mess, then we can report it to the organization and the factory!"

Everyone roared in unison, "Yes!! Let's do it!!!"
