Chapter 1347 Global Technology Acceleration (Third update, please subscribe)
Not every country is Nanyang!
After 63 years, both foreigners and Nanyang people have a very deep understanding of the meaning of this sentence.
What do people understand?
“Not every country can treat its citizens as nationals.”
In the restaurant, Zou Huazhang looked at Qi Tiebao in front of him and said.
“Perhaps some people can say that Nanyang is the last bastion of imperialism in the world and treats other countries with extreme barbarity, but one thing we must see is that here, all citizens are well taken care of... …”
As an economist, Zou Huazhang rarely talks about social issues. The reason why he talks about this issue is because what happened in Congo has caused Nanyang to suffer too much criticism. Of course, this It also caused some turmoil in Southeast Asia, especially among young people.
“I have never known what greatness is, but in my opinion, true greatness is nothing more than taking care of one’s own people. As for foreigners... what do they have to do with us?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tiebao smiled and said:
"This view of yours will definitely be accused of...socialism."
Shrugging his shoulders, Zou Huazhang shook his head and said:
"From an economic point of view, When a country focuses on the well-being of foreigners, it will inevitably sacrifice the well-being of its own people. This is inevitable. After all, every penny has its source and use. As Nanyang people, why should we be foreigners. To worry about it?"
After that, he looked around and said with emotion:
"After all, if every country is like Nanyang, it takes good care of its citizens! Then I think there will be no war in this world.”
"Indeed."
Nodding slightly, Tiebao agreed, and then said:
"But this time in Congo..."
"What does it have to do with us? What? Don’t listen to the wind, it will be rain.”
Smiling, Zou Huazhang took a sip of tofu and said:
"Besides, in war, accidental injuries are inevitable. It may mean the end, which is actually a good thing for the local people."
Then Zou Huazhang changed the subject. Said:
"By the way, Tiebao, how is your research going?"
"The progress is pretty good. There are still some data that need to be calculated. It is too slow to calculate with ordinary computers. Some, I plan to use "Deep Blue" for calculations. The application has been submitted. If nothing happens, it should be approved soon. "
The "Deep Blue" mentioned by Tiebao is "Deep Blue 2000". , it is the world's first supercomputer. This supercomputer, produced and designed by International Electronics Company, shocked the world when it was launched last year - it is the world's first supercomputer with a speed of 100 million operations per second. .
While its outstanding performance shocked the world, it also inspired the Nanyang academic community. After all, its computing speed is faster and it can solve many scientific computing problems.
“There will definitely be no accidents.”
Zou Huazhang said:
“Half of Nanyang is located in seismic zones, and we are very focused on earthquake resistance research. Whether it is the national economy and national defense construction, The analysis of anti-seismic and nuclear explosion structures is urgently needed and will definitely be approved.”
Unlike other regions, earthquake research is taken very seriously in Nanyang. The safety of many people is at stake. Therefore, Qi Tiebao is also a professional counterpart here.
"Indeed."
Nodded, Tiebao said again:
"However, the school's physics department and Chuze Company are developing their own supercomputers. This time they were Electronic stimulation arrived. After the public demonstration of "Deep Blue", Zuse wrote to the company's executives: "I learned that there are only 34 people in the laboratory developing this system, including cleaners. Among them, there are 14 engineers and 4 programmers. Only one person has a doctorate and is still a relatively junior programmer. And he issued a soul torture: I don’t understand, I don’t understand how we lost to International Electronics in building the most powerful computer? We will discuss this matter next week! "
When mentioning this matter, Gatiebao had a smile on his face, and then he emphasized:
"If the school has its own supercomputer, I will There won't be any more accidents. There are many industries that need to use "Deep Blue" for calculations. Yi Jiaxun's fluid testing also needs it. Lin Hongsun and Cheng Shigu are all lining up there... …”
Talking about these friends lining up, Gao Tiebao helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said:
“When it’s my turn, I really don’t know when it will be.”
“Okay. , By the way, isn’t it said that Yongjin University plans to buy a Deep Blue? You can contact them to find out. I didn’t expect that Yongjin University actually spent nearly 30 million to buy a Deep Blue.”
The price of the Deep Blue supercomputer is NTD 29.92 million!
It seems expensive, but even so, it is still a very cost-effective supercomputer. The performance of IBM's 7030 electronic computer is far lower than that of Deep Blue, but the price is still as high as 13.7 million US dollars. Because of this, the "Deep Blue 2000" of International Electronics Company caused a sensation all over the world once it was launched, and it is naturally popular in the market!
In response to his friend's suggestion, Gao Tiebao shook his head and said:
"There is also a queue at Yongjin University. Now the whole world is waiting for Deep Blue. The newspaper said that NASA in the United States purchased four units at a time. Supported the "Apollo Project", as well as France, the United Kingdom... In short, the whole world is buying it. "
Large-scale electronic computers are computers with very powerful computing power and high reliability. The emergence of mainframes. To meet specialized needs. It has been used in the development of nuclear bombs, meteorology, national security and space missions.
For this reason, "Deep Blue 2000", known as the "miracle", was immediately sought after by official agencies in various countries after its advent. After all, before this, even the most advanced electronic computers cost tens of millions of dollars. level.
Just like the IBM7030, it can perform more than 13 million floating point additions and more than 7 million multiplications in one second, but this is already the most advanced electronic computer in the United States.
As the world's first billion-time supercomputer, "Deep Blue 2000" has caused a worldwide sensation after its launch at the end of last year. It is naturally conceivable.
Faced with such a supercomputer, scientists from various countries wrote reports one after another asking their countries to purchase it.
The big spender is the United States - it definitely proves what it means to be wealthy. In addition to the Space Exploration Technology Company's purchase of four units at a time to support the Apollo program, the U.S. Department of Defense also purchased two units, and the National Weather Service Also purchased one. Even Wall Street bought one.
It can be said that when this year comes, "Deep Blue 2000", which is called the supercomputer of the 20th century, is the most dazzling star.
Almost scientists around the world realize that this supercomputer made in Nanyang will bring huge changes to the development of science and technology!
Because of this, they have recommended that governments of various countries purchase it. Of course, at the same time, they also suggested that their own countries develop similar supercomputers.
To a large extent, Nanyang has always been the leader in the world's electronics industry, and electronic computers are just a microcosm of the electronics industry. In fact, in the past ten years, starting from the invention of transistors and integrated circuits, the rapid development of Nanyang's electronics industry has changed the entire world.
From the creation of the first transistor to the design of the world's first transistor electronic computer to the use of integrated circuits, these technologies are also difficult to keep secret. In the next few years, transistors and Integrated circuit technology has attracted the attention of the United States, Britain, France and other countries.
Their transistors and integrated circuits were also born very quickly. Of course, there is still a certain gap with similar products in Nanyang, especially the production and design of integrated circuits. It can even be said that there is a huge difference.
The key is that Li Yian’s emphasis on transistors and integrated circuits directly determines Nanyang’s investment in this field. With the application of transistors in electronic products such as televisions and radios, the It has gained rapid popularity. Just as its European and American counterparts are catching up, Nanyang has switched to a new track - integrated circuits.
The transistor is just the beginning of everything, and the integrated circuit is the invention of the future, although the performance of early integrated circuits is very different from that of later generations, and the cost is high and expensive.
However, through years of hard work, driven by high profits, the development of integrated circuits has been driven. Along with breakthroughs in related technical fields, the integration level of integrated circuits has continued to achieve breakthroughs. From the initial integration of a few transistors Then there were dozens, hundreds, and even now an astonishing thousands.
It was precisely because of this series of breakthroughs that the world's first personal computer was built last year. It was also the combination of a large number of integrated circuits that led to the world's first billion-generation electronic computer. computer.
While Nanyang continues to make technological breakthroughs, the electronic computer industry in the United States is also advancing by leaps and bounds. Just like IBM's 7030, it can perform tens of millions of calculations per second. Compared with another world, it is almost the same. Improved tenfold.
But even so, they are still far behind Nanyang. At least to a certain extent, Nanyang is now leading the development of the world's electronic computer industry.
But at least it has made great progress compared to history.
This is why Nanyang's use of advanced technology will inevitably lead to an acceleration of global technological iteration, which is the so-called "border effect".
And this acceleration of global technological iteration will definitely change the entire world.
Katiebao said helplessly:
"In other words, the whole world is now queuing up, waiting for shipments from international electronics companies..."
< br>
"Haha, when you say this, it reminds me of the long queue in front of the International Electronics Company back then - people queuing up there waiting for shipment. At that time, the price of a transistor could be doubled. After a while, the people queuing up were all holding cash and asking for a higher price to buy transistors..."
Zou Huazhang sighed:
"Even until now, this phenomenon has been mentioned in textbooks—— "The commodity premium effect brought about by technology"
After sighing, he said:
"Just like the world is waiting for Deep Blue from international electronics companies, as long as they If you are willing, you can sell it at a higher price at any time, and there will be many people rushing to buy it.”
After a slight pause, he sighed.
“Technology is money, this is the best example.”
