Chapter 914 The Beginning of the Internet Era (Second update, please subscribe)
A small electric motor and a battery.
Putting it like this on the desk,
In the smoke-filled office, the atmosphere is like a tight string that may break at any time. He Mingwei, Yang Yuankai, Zhong Cun and Huang Lixuan from the Heavy Industry Bureau occasionally glanced at the desk.
Motors, batteries.
These are Nanyang's latest technologies, especially the latter.
Yang Yuankai smoked silently, his face full of seriousness and anxiety. The pungent smell of cigarettes filled the air, intertwined with the tense atmosphere, making people almost breathless.
“Many of those mini-cars in Europe are originally designed to solve the problem of grocery shopping within 50 kilometers, and its 100-120 kilometers of cruising range is completely sufficient.”
< br>Although he didn’t know why the ministry chose this company, what Huang Lixuan needed was to help them switch to producing this product.
“That’s different, this one needs to be charged for 10 to 12 hours!”
Yang Yuankai said.
“You can’t wait beside the car for such a long time!”
“You can sleep! Anyway, under normal circumstances, the number of long journeys by car is still very limited. "
As a company manager, He Mingwei frowned, and the cigarette in his hand was dancing with sparks on his fingertips.
He was always there calculating something.
Suddenly, he broke the silence and said:
"Let's do it! Boss Yang, I calculated it and used the body we designed before and removed the engine, gearbox, drive shaft, fuel tank and other unnecessary parts. , the cost has been reduced by at least half. Even including the electric motor and battery, the cost can be controlled within 200 yuan. There is no cheaper car than it, and we cannot miss this opportunity."
"Cheap, not that bad! With many parts, it must be very cheap, but... it is different from ordinary cars!"
As a director of the company, Yang Yuankai seemed more cautious. He turned to whisper with several other directors, discussing in a low voice! . One of the directors raised his head and scanned everyone present with a scrutinizing gaze:
“There have never been electric cars in the past. Will the market accept such new products? This is a huge risk, risk Is it too big? ”
The accompanying technical officials from the Heavy Industry Bureau were busy explaining the technical details and advantages of the products, and they tried to convince the companies with data and facts. However, facing such new products, they were unsure.
Cigarette smoke filled the conference room, like a thick layer of fog, making it difficult to see the road ahead.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the office door was closed tightly, as if the whole world was shut out. In the end, He Mingwei, as the person in charge of the company, took a deep breath of cigarette, exhaled it slowly, and made a decision:
“I have no doubt about the Ministry of International Trade and Industry. New products are our opportunities and also Our challenge. If we seize it, maybe we can seize a new future, who knows?"
After that, he looked at Yang Shikai and said. "Manager Yang, we have invested 120,000 yuan in the automobile project. Now it can not only bring the project back to life, but it may also allow us to transform the enterprise. Who knows? So, we must seize this opportunity!"
No one can predict the future, but as long as they make a choice, they will eventually go all the way. The road ahead is still long, but they have taken a crucial step.
This was an extremely ordinary day in July 1955. On this day, in the conference room of Xingfu Machinery Company, the decisions made by several people would ultimately lead to what. No one knew, but they could Certainly, the world changed from this day.
Many times, when changes happen, almost no one pays attention at the beginning.
July is destined to be a hot summer. Although it is summer all year round in Nanyang, July is still the hottest season. The scorching sunshine shines on the green treetops, the breeze blows, and the leaves sway gently, making a rustling sound. But in this tranquility, there was a unique sound that broke the silence - it was the ear-piercing cry of the giant cicada of Borneo.
In this conference room at Nanyang University, the air conditioner hummed as dozens of experts and scholars gathered together. They come from all over Nanyang, each representing different universities, and gather here to discuss a cutting-edge and exciting topic.
The air was filled with a tense and warm atmosphere, and everyone's eyes shone with wisdom. They circled the conference table, arguing endlessly, and their voices rose and fell one after another.
When Li Yi proposed the "Internet" proposal a few months ago, he did not know that the proposal was like a pebble thrown into a lake, causing ripples. In the face of this extremely novel matter, some people advocate active advancement, believing that this will greatly improve the efficiency and quality of academic research, so that the academic achievements of various universities are no longer isolated, and can nourish and inspire each other through the Internet.
Today, these experts and scholars spoke with sonorous and powerful words, full of longing and expectations for the future. Naturally, there are also some doubts.
As an authority on electronic computers at Nanyang University, Zhu Chuanju is a supporter of the Internet. After several months, he finally realized the internal networking of Nanyang University - the networking of electronic computers between various laboratories.
It was precisely because of the success of this attempt that he set his goal even further - to establish an Internet connecting various universities in Nanyang!
“I think we can use telephone lines. The existing lines are telephone lines. We can use them to connect computers in various universities together to achieve data sharing and interoperability.”
Zhu Chuanju’s suggestion naturally aroused a burst of approval from those around him.
His suggestion was also supported by Chu Ze. As the founder of Nanyang’s largest electronic computing company and the inventor of the world’s first transistor electronic computer, Chu Ze’s support, although Many people chose to support it, but some people still had doubts.
“But after the network is built, how to distinguish the differences between universities?”
"It has been mentioned in your proposal - a network address can be used..."
"This network address is..."
Despite the specific plans and suggestions, they are still there Discussion, the Internet is not only new, but also unheard of. What role can it play?
No one knows, even at the meeting, some people were cautious and worried about issues such as data security and technical feasibility. They raised a series of questions and challenges, making the atmosphere of the meeting more tense and intense.
Although the debate was fierce on this day in this conference room, no matter in the following countless years, whenever people look back on the past, they will mention this day and Nanyang. In this conference room of the university, on this day, none of the professors and scholars present at the meeting expected what kind of era they were about to usher in, nor what changes this era would bring to human life and the world. of.
On this day, these experts and scholars in the electronic computer industry from various universities gathered together. Although they argued and discussed there, they created an era. On this day, they said - if there is light, then there will be Light!
