three days later.
Computer Research Institute.
It was the same room as the Dawn One experiment, and the same group of people were sitting in front of them.
The difference this time is that there were more participants.
Yang Xiaotao, Qian Lao, and Han Sanfeng did not enter the house, but simply stood near the door, chatting casually.
"I didn't expect you guys actually managed to copy it."
Mr. Qian sighed, and Yang Xiaotao smiled.
"My father-in-law mentioned it that night, and I was desperate, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, what if it worked?"
"Unexpectedly, after we talked to Zhou Shenghong, they actually came up with a solution."
"This must be a blessing from our ancestors."
Yang Xiaotao said with a smile, and Han Sanfeng nodded hurriedly, "This shows that the things of our ancestors are not necessarily dross; it's just that very few people can understand the essence of them."
Yang Xiaotao clapped his hands in agreement, "That's right. I think we can't just learn everything from outsiders; we also need to pick up the good things left by our ancestors."
"Yes, yes, I remember there was a copper stove for heating."
Ignoring the occasion, the two of them started discussing ancient artifacts right there in the room.
Mr. Qian did not participate in the discussion between the two; he had a smile on his face and his eyes showed satisfaction.
My gaze swept across the computer screen in front of me, and a sense of anticipation began to rise within me.
He already knew the computer's performance data by heart.
If Dawn-1 was a trial project, then the Sunrise-75 is a crucial step towards maturity.
In terms of memory, it has been expanded from 1MB to 2MB. Although it is only doubled, it represents a qualitative improvement.
Furthermore, the Intel 80186 processor used in the Sun 75 was independently developed by them, and it contains more than 30,000 transistors.
Furthermore, the 8080 is an 8-bit processor, while the 80186 is a 16-bit processor. The processor's internal structure is 16-bit, with a 16-bit external data bus and a 20-bit address bus, and it can address 2MB of memory.
Moreover, the computing speed has reached two million operations per second.
It can be said that the Intel 80186 processor is the core of nine future computers. As long as we continue to develop and improve on this basis, the future development of computers will only get better and better.
More importantly, they have a group of outstanding researchers.
As long as they are there, even better processors and computers will continue to emerge.
Thinking of this, Mr. Qian's smile became even brighter.
"Mr. Yang, the system is installed and ready for testing."
Lu Tao walked up to Yang Xiaotao and said something, then nodded to Qian Lao and Han Sanfeng.
"It's done so quickly?"
Yang Xiaotao looked at the computer not far away, where Xiaopang was taking notes in a notebook, while the others around him looked excited, almost jumping up and down.
"It's done. The new computer runs much faster than the old one."
Lu Tao glanced back at the computer and gave an affirmative answer, "This new computer is definitely more comfortable to use than the old one."
"Absolutely."
"Otherwise, why would we do it?"
Yang Xiaotao smiled, then looked at Professor Qian, "Teacher, would you like to give it a try?"
Old Qian rubbed his hands together. "Then let's give it a try."
The crowd made way for him, and Mr. Qian sat down in front of the computer. After looking at the screen, he suddenly laughed and said, "This screen is quite large; it looks bigger than the Dawn One."
Little Fatty picked up his notebook and said hurriedly, "Dean, the Dawn One is 16 inches, and ours is 23 inches. This kind of big screen is even bigger than our latest TV."
Old Qian nodded in agreement, "Bigger is better, bigger is better."
"With this bigger screen, my eyes won't have to suffer anymore."
Everyone laughed heartily upon hearing this.
Then I saw Mr. Qian skillfully operate the mouse, create a new document on the desktop, and begin typing proficiently.
People around him watched intently, while Yang Xiaotao was still looking at the text that had been typed out behind him.
"Typing is fast, the response is quick, and it's very smooth."
Mr. Qian remarked with emotion, "It's much better than Dawn One."
"That's good, that's good."
"This calculator is pretty fast too. Wait, does it even calculate exponents?"
"Yes, this was made by the calculator research group. We just finished it and uploaded it. Would you like to give it a try?"
Yang Xiaotao explained from the side, and Mr. Qian immediately nodded, then pressed the numbers on the keyboard to start calculating.
A few numbers appeared in quick succession. Before Yang Xiaotao could determine whether they were correct or not, Old Qian nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad."
"These computers are getting more and more powerful."
Mr. Qian kept using the computer, occasionally uttering sighs of emotion.
Yang Xiaotao was also smiling beside him, and then he saw Qian Lao point out the game that had just been installed, Red Alert.
"The graphics in this game are better than before."
Mr. Qian scanned the screen and then skillfully started the game.
Yang Xiaotao and the others exchanged bewildered glances, never expecting that Old Qian would also play games.
"What's wrong? You guys are allowed to play, but this old man can't?"
"Let me tell you, back in the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry, I even had a one-on-one fight with Comrade Wang."
Mr. Qian was in a good mood, and everyone laughed along with him.
"I bet Comrade Wang lost badly."
Yang Xiaotao suddenly added insult to injury, which made everyone laugh even louder.
After a morning of work, Yang Xiaotao accompanied Mr. Qian to the canteen for lunch, while the testing of the new computer continued.
Hardware, software, printers used with computers, and trial use of new printers.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
The next day, Yang Xiaotao handed over the task of inspecting the computers to Xiaopang and took Lu Tao to the computer manufacturing factory.
"President Yang, the preliminary preparations have been completed. All materials and equipment are ready. We only need one order to start construction."
Huang Degong followed behind Yang Xiaotao and spoke.
During this time, he also learned about the situation at headquarters.
I even received several calls from foreign trade companies, all implying that we should reduce the production capacity of the Dawn 1 to make room for the new computer.
He had no idea when the new computer would be ready, and he didn't dare call headquarters to inquire about the situation. He could only instruct his subordinates to prepare more raw materials for production.
Only in this way can we produce quickly upon receiving orders. Because the foreign trade department simply can't wait.
How many people are there now?
Yang Xiaotao asked casually, and Huang Degong quickly replied, "Not counting the other branch factories, there are three thousand production workers here at the main factory, plus five hundred support staff. If that's not enough, we can also pull out more than five hundred apprentices."
What about production capacity?
"I can't say for sure, but with a sufficient supply of raw materials, producing 10,000 units a day should be no problem."
Huang Degong assured him, and Yang Xiaotao nodded.
Lu Tao then started talking about the new computer, and Huang Degong listened attentively.
"The performance of this new computer is much higher than before, and we need to conduct intensive training for the staff. My idea with General Manager Yang is to have people from the research institute come to the factory to help provide guidance."
"You need to select a group of elite personnel to learn the key processors first, and then teach them to more people."
Huang Degong nodded, "It would be best if the colleagues from the research institute could come. With you here watching over things, we feel more confident in our work."
Lu Tao chuckled, "I really can't guarantee it this time. We used a new algorithm and a new design, and some of it even incorporated the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) left by our ancestors."
Huang Degong was stunned. Yang Xiaotao reminded him, "Don't let this get out."
"Ah, yes, I understand."
Seeing Huang Degong's serious expression, Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, "It's not that serious."
Lu Tao seized the opportunity to say, "President Yang, I think the Eight Trigrams and the Sixty-Four Hexagrams can be combined with time; it's somewhat like a code."
"A password? It does look somewhat like one."
"But where is the codebook?"
"Of course, it'll be in our own hands. We'll set it up at the factory, and we'll set the time according to the corresponding model. That way, even if someone tries to open a counterfeit, they'll be dumbfounded."
Lu Tao said excitedly, "If they want to try them one by one, then it will be a lot of fun."
Yang Xiaotao's eyes lit up, and then he smiled.
Sixty-four hexagrams, plus twenty-four hours in a day, that's 1,440 minutes. If you were to try them all, I doubt anyone but a madman could do it.
After touring the factory in the morning, the people from the computer research institute began entering the factory in the afternoon, and the computer factory workers, who had received orders, also began to get to work.
Lu Tao is personally leading the team this time, and they plan to stay here for a while.
Yang Xiaotao strongly agreed with this.
As for Zhou Shenghong, they also joined the research institute, since they were still needed to oversee the design of that part of the 'Bagua' (gossip).
Moreover, after being tested by Lu Tao, Han Sanfeng, and others, the design of this Bagua diagram really does have the effect of preventing plagiarism.
In the following days, Yang Xiaotao focused his energy on computer production.
Huang Degong wasn't exaggerating. The workers at the computer factory had experience producing the Dawn One satellite, and with the help of the research institute, they quickly got up to speed.
On the third day, the production of Jiaoyang 75 had already exceeded 10,000.
Subsequently, the daily production capacity exceeded 12,000, and Huang Degong even arranged for staff to rotate shifts, with night shifts also being implemented.
Yang Xiaotao did not stop them. Instead, he asked headquarters to allocate a batch of supplies to be sent over as a reward for the night shift workers.
As inventory increased, everyone knew that the time to face the world was approaching.
Mr. Chen's office.
Yang Xiaotao installed the Jiaoyang 75 and then began to test it.
Inside the room, Old Chen, Li Rong, and Secretary Guo stood by carefully watching, occasionally asking a question.
"This screen is huge."
"This main unit is also bigger than the previous one."
"This computer is really nice."
"This"
The group of people sighed with admiration, but they didn't know much about computer 'techniques' and could only comment on the appearance.
This made Yang Xiaotao feel like he didn't know how to compliment other people's children, so he would just say, "This child is really tall."
"Okay, boss, give it a try."
Yang Xiaotao made way, and Old Chen hurriedly came to the computer, looking at the desktop with excitement.
With each click of the mouse, files are opened rapidly.
"You reacted quickly, really quickly."
"Those are the previous documents. Can they be transferred from this machine to this new one?"
Although Mr. Chen thought the new computer worked well, the old computer had too many files on it.
I can't just retype it.
Li Rong nodded in agreement, "That's right. If we re-enter it, those companies and offices will reconsider their willingness to buy."
"And the new computers are a bit pricey, $100,000 each. I'm really worried that no one will be able to afford them."
Yang Xiaotao looked at Li Rong and said, "Aunt Rong, when we were working on Dawn No. 1, you gave us a unit price of 50,000, but I said we should focus on volume, and you said we should go for the high-end market and set the price high."
"The price is high now, and you're still not happy?"
Li Rong rolled her eyes at Yang Xiaotao. "How can that be the same?"
"When Dawn One came out, it had no competitors, so naturally we could ask for a higher price, because if they didn't buy from us, they could only watch from the sidelines."
"But things are different now. Countries around the world are researching and selling computers. In this situation, do you think anyone would still spend 100,000 to buy a computer?"
Old Chen looked worried upon hearing this, but Yang Xiaotao explained nonchalantly, "Aunt Rong, you should know that Dawn One had no rivals back then."
"And our current Sunshine 75 is also unrivaled."
Seeing that Li Rong still didn't believe him, Yang Xiaotao immediately began to analyze the differences between the two types of computers for her.
“We are now ready to roll out the printers.”
"In addition, the computer games have also been completed."
"As for the file transfer issue you mentioned, our Ninth Department is developing a 'portable hard drive,' which will probably shock the world when it's released."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Old Chen shook his head and smiled.
He then glanced at Li Rong and asked, "When do you plan to launch it and let it meet the world?"
This feeling gave him the impression of his parents lecturing him when he got home.
To this, Yang Xiaotao could only tell the truth, "We'll wait until the game from the game research institute is finished before we talk about it."
"It's most likely on Children's Day, June 1st."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, neither of them expected to have to wait so many days.
Li Rong immediately disagreed, but Yang Xiaotao insisted on postponing it to June 1st.
“Aunt Rong, since the bullet has already been fired, why don’t we wait and let it fly for a while, and then strike them when they are at their most triumphant?”
"I think that scene will definitely be very interesting."
