Chapter 99 This thing cannot be delayed
Gao Zhendong pointed to a metal shallow plate in the corner of the guide room, which contained some solidified gray metal.
“I built a one-time soldering machine and used thermocouples to control the tin temperature. In this way, I only need to insert all the components into the circuit board, apply flux after checking, and then be careful. Tin the surface of the circuit board pins, then cut off the pins that are too long, and then check the soldering again. It is much faster.”
The chief engineer of the computing center heard this and thought it was interesting. It seemed like it could save a lot of time, so he immediately asked: "Can this equipment be mass-produced?"
How could Gao Zhendong dare to give this thing to them for real use? This thing was used by him to explain that he could do it alone It's just an excuse to quickly build a computer. It's theoretically possible, but it's very difficult to use. It was assembled the first time, and after the tin was melted, it was never touched again.
He immediately shook his head: "I just made this thing myself. It can't be automated and there are problems. If you want to automate welding or make it practical, I will draw a schematic diagram later and you can try wave soldering."
Wave soldering was only successfully researched in China in the mid-1960s. The principle is simple. After melting the tin, just use a suitable pump to create waves. Gao Zhendong saw it when he was an intern at an electronics factory in his junior year and felt that It was quite fun, and I went to the Internet to find the working principle diagram. From my memory, it was no problem to make it come out a few years earlier.
Hearing Gao Zhendong's new equipment being thrown away as if it was free of charge, the leader of the 17th Machinery Department and the two people from the Operations Office wanted to open his brain to see what it was like.
The two people in the computing lab looked at the transistor computer and then at the set of information in their hands, wishing they could get it back right away.
The leaders of the 17th Machinery Department also know that this thing cannot play its maximum role here. It can only play its maximum role if it is handed over to the computing center and mass-produced after thoroughly understanding Gao Zhendong's design.
Such a cheap, easy-to-use, and outstanding computer would be a waste if it were not mass-produced.
Over there in the desert, if there are dozens of them, the effect will be fascinating just thinking about it.
Several people walked out of the south room and closed the door.
The leader said to Gao Zhendong: "This thing still has to be sent to the computing institute. Zhendong, you also have to spare time to thoroughly teach your design to the computing institute. This matter , can't delay."
Hearing this, several people in the third rolling mill were a little embarrassed. Director Yang complained to the leader: "Boss, Zhendong is still in charge of the design of the ESR process of our plant, and the progress is now satisfactory. It’s a critical moment and I’m afraid I can’t do without him. Moreover, the ministry has also notified him to prepare training on the project management system, and the time has been set.”
The leader then remembered that the third rolling mill had told the ministry about this matter, but he did not expect it to have reached this level. Furthermore, the training for the project management system was decided by himself, which suddenly made him feel a little embarrassed.
The two people in the computing office were anxious when they saw it. They didn't expect that this young man would actually be undertaking these important tasks while working on computers. It was really unexpected that a capable person would work so hard.
However, they did not expect that in their view, the matter of transistor computers was undoubtedly more important. The two of them looked at the leader of the 17th Machinery Department eagerly with four eyes. The chief engineer of the computing center said: " Leader, the sooner we do this, the better.”
When I heard this, I thought about the people working hard on the other side of the desert, and the scientific research institutes who had to do manual calculations because they couldn’t schedule computer calculations. People, the leader gritted his teeth and said: "ESR can be postponed, training can wait, and computer matters cannot be delayed!"
Hearing this, Gao Zhendong thought for a while and reported to the leader: "I will spend a day or two on ESR I have time to arrange things well, so it shouldn’t be too much of a delay. The division of labor in the early stage is very clear. I have submitted the principles and designs. Now it is mainly about part of the manufacturing and testing tasks. People in the factory will follow my plan and design, so it shouldn’t be too much. If there is any delay, I can solve the problem temporarily. Just let the department arrange it. I will follow the instructions.”
After hearing Gao Zhendong's words, the two people at the computing center felt relieved.
Gao Zhendong and two people from the computing office began to discuss the relocation of the transistor computer. Although the two people from the computing office still had many questions to ask, they couldn't care about it now. They wanted to get the things safely there first. , the question is, there is a designer here, it’s not too late to ask again then. In fact, it is easy to handle. This set of things is really not big and can fit in a jeep. However, the computing center obviously feels that this is not a good thing for this set of things.
They were going to call someone over, pack it carefully, and do all the work to prevent shock, water, impact, and static electricity, and then they would be escorted by the militiamen of the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant.
Although Gao Zhendong said that transistor computers are not so delicate, the two of them still felt that they could not afford to lose anything. This way, nothing could happen to the single Miaozi now.
Come to think of it, Chinese people have always given enough respect and care to high-tech equipment. In the 1990s, all computer rooms in colleges and universities installed elevated anti-static floors, and even electromagnetic shielding nets were installed outside the computer rooms. You had to change into slippers or overshoe covers when entering.
When Gao Zhendong was in college in his previous life, his classmates would be amused when they heard this. If you think about it more carefully, this is also the continuation and manifestation of the Chinese people's respect for knowledge for thousands of years. They would rather be overly careful than have equipment that is defective.
When everything was agreed upon, it was almost the next morning. The militiamen on duty went to buy breakfast and deliver it. At the same time, they also sent people to the computing center to transfer people and materials and prepare to transfer the computers.
Everyone was eating while waiting for someone to come. The leader also insisted on staying the whole night and had breakfast here before returning to the unit.
While having breakfast, everyone was in high spirits, talking and laughing, and was so unhappy.
At this time, Lou Xiao'e rode a bicycle and carried a lunch box into the yard. When she saw the battle at Gao Zhendong's house, she was stunned. She turned her head and looked around carefully to confirm that this was indeed Gao Zhendong's house.
She stepped forward and asked a militia soldier standing guard: "Hello, comrade, I'm looking for Gao Zhendong, is he at home?"
The militia soldier heard that he was looking for Gao Zhendong. Yes, please wait a moment, go in and inform Gao Zhendong: "Captain Gao, there is someone looking for you outside." The people in the militia naturally called Gao Zhendong his position in the militia.
Gao Zhendong saw Lou Xiaoe and hurriedly came out.
As soon as Gao Zhendong went out, the leader quietly asked Factory Director Yang: "What kind of captain is Gao Zhendong still?"
Director Yang replied: "Deputy captain of the militia team, deputy chief of the training section."
The leader frowned: "Isn't the work a bit heavy?"
Director Yang quietly explained: "Deputy Chief of the Security Department, you can carry a gun."
The leader understood and nodded.
