Chapter 803 King's Laboratory (Second update, please subscribe)
The research on launch vehicles in Nanyang has been steadily advancing. After all, this is a key project for core support.
In fact, it is not just launch vehicles. In the past few years, various scientific and technological fields in Nanyang have been developing steadily.
Nanyang in 1953 is still developing at a high speed as in the past. Such rapid development cannot be separated from intellectual resources. However, compared with many years ago, although all walks of life in Nanyang are still There is a thirst for talents, but the talents cultivated by Nanyang are gradually becoming the mainstream of the industry.
Every year, more than 100,000 junior college and undergraduate students and a large number of graduate students graduate and enter various research institutes and companies in Nanyang. Similarly, many people go to Europe and the United States to study abroad every year. Among them, There are government-sponsored students and self-funded students. The countries where they study are mostly the United States and the United Kingdom, although some international students also go to Germany or France to study.
The purpose of Nanyang sending overseas students to Europe and the United States is of course to learn advanced scientific knowledge and for academic exchanges. At the same time, some people are studying abroad in Nanyang universities.
In fact, universities in Nanyang have always relied heavily on international students, but these international students are all from Tangshan. Before the drastic changes in Tangshan, it was Tangshan students who ensured the source of students for higher education in Nanyang. However, later, due to changes in the situation, These students stayed in Nanyang.
Nowadays, universities in Nanyang are also filled with overseas Chinese students from Malay, French Indo-China and Indonesia. Of course, there are also international students from Hong Kong Island, Bay Island, Kyushu and other places.
As an international student from Hong Kong Island, Gao Kun cherishes the days of studying at Chang'an University. He came to Bay Island with his father five years ago and later went to Hong Kong Island. Gao Kun was admitted to the university after graduating from middle school. However, since the University of Hong Kong did not have an electrical engineering department, he originally planned to study in the UK. However, like many others, he later chose to study in Nanyang.
“The quality of education in Nanyang is still very high. Almost every university has Nobel Prize winners...”
After entering the Department of Electrical Engineering of Chang'an University, Gao Kun found that the level of the Department of Electrical Engineering of Chang'an University was indeed very high - most of the teachers here came from Germany. However, according to the school's requirements, they all taught in English, which was very important to the high-level students. Kun didn't have any difficulty. After all, his father was a doctor of law who studied in the United States and taught him English since he was a child.
Just like his classmates, Gao Kun was listening to the professor's lectures. What he didn't know was that a new laboratory had been set up in a newly built building at Chang'an University, and this The person in charge of this laboratory...is none other than Li Yian himself.
"I need a laboratory and some assistants!"
A month ago, Li Yi'an came to Chang'an University and made his request. If it were someone else who made such a request, The request is obviously excessive. However, as we all know, Li Yi'an is not only the president of Nanyang, but also a delayed scientist. He needs a laboratory and must be conducting scientific research. Therefore, the university naturally provided a laboratory as soon as possible.
The name of the laboratory is also very special - King's Laboratory!
Subsequently, according to Li Yian's request, a group of very outstanding students came to the laboratory, and the research they conducted was naturally some of the topics provided by Li Yian. Not only did they provide topics, but they also provided papers.
For example, the research they are currently conducting is on lasers. Li Yian wrote a theoretical article, which theoretically predicted the feasibility of lasers for the first time. Their mission was to create the first laser in human history. And this was just one of the studies they conducted. In the following years, with a large number of inventions and innovations, King's Laboratory not only became the most famous laboratory in the world, but also became a leader in the development of science in the world. faucet.
The reason is that some of the "innovative" papers given by Li Yian are sometimes more ideas, and the role of the technical staff in the laboratory is to help him realize those ideas. .
“It’s not just lasers.”
Li Yian said to himself when leaving the laboratory.
"With lasers, there will be fiber optics, the real Internet, and broadband..." In fact, human technological progress is like this. Many inventions that affect mankind require the accumulation of many technologies, and for intentional acceleration For Li Yi'an of Nanyang Technology Development, after thinking for a long time, he decided to set up a laboratory.
Just like Edison - come up with ideas and ideas, and then let other professionals help you achieve this goal, but unlike Edison, a variety of skills have been opened up Li Yian provides more than just ideas and concepts. He can not only provide theoretical support, but sometimes even directly intervene in development.
In short, when science has developed to a certain level, appropriate promotion of science can also play a certain role in promoting it.
As for how far the world's technological level will eventually be pushed, Li Yi'an didn't know, but after leaving the King's Laboratory, he made a special trip to the Kondra Laboratory, the world's first The first transistor computer came out of this laboratory, by Kondela Zuse. Like many German engineers, Zuse was also naturalized in Nanyang, and this laboratory is named after him.
Although Li Yi'an did not see Kandra in the laboratory, he unexpectedly saw another professor.
"...By using integrated circuits, the size of today's electronic computers has been reduced to the size of a shoe box. , and its computing speed..."
Listening to Zhu Chuanju's introduction, Li Yian will inevitably feel a little emotional. Zhu Chuanju is one of the inventors of the world's first electronic computer. When developing the "ENIAC" electronic computer , he successfully came up with several design versions of the computer's logical structure, improving the computer's general logical computing capabilities, which is equivalent to the "brain" function and is the main core part. His contribution cannot be ignored.
However, he was not treated fairly, but it was not until 35 years later that Zhu Chuanju was awarded the "Computer Pioneer Award" just because he was Chinese, and he was only one of the few Chinese scientists in European and American countries. miniature.
Now Zhu Chuanju is in Nanyang. In fact, there are many similar technical personnel in universities and enterprises in Nanyang. Their intelligence and talents will be further developed here.
When others were demonstrating the input and operation of the computer, Li Yian asked when they saw that it still used paper tape for input and output.
"Professor Zhu, have you tried another way to input data?"
"Another way?"
Zhu Chuanju asked doubtfully.
“Yes, just use... yes, the keyboard is just like a typewriter. Use the keyboard to directly input data. Then, the data can be displayed intuitively on the monitor. This monitor is the monitor of the TV. The data and code we input through the keyboard can be visually displayed on the monitor..."
When was the world's first electronic computing using a monitor invented?
Li Yian didn't know, but since Nanyang doesn't have it yet, he can give it a proper reminder. Then, Li Yian continued to talk about his thoughts, and in the end, it included monitors, keyboards and even central processors. Personal computers also said it one by one.
When he explained that in the future, small electronic computing will go to thousands of households and will change the work and life of many people, Zhu Chuanju and others' doubts slowly turned into shock, while a three-year-old next to him The ten-year-old young man was even more shocked to the extreme. Unlike the others, after the shock, his eyes were more filled with desire, a desire for the future...
