Chapter 103 Simple things are more troublesome (3k)
Chief Engineer Chi quickly sent someone to prepare, turned to Gao Zhendong and said: "Because I saw that there is memory in the transistor computer, I didn't prepare it. Just arrange it."
Director Li and the others looked at Gao Zhendong's work plan and reminded Gao Zhendong: "Our department leaders said that they would notify all units that may use this system to come for training. , but time is tight and we haven’t arrived yet. Comrade Zhendong, you may want to consider this situation.”
Gao Zhendong thought for a while and said: “It’s not a big problem. We must create personnel first. Then comes the maintenance and use, and the designers are put at the end. When the work of the manufacturing personnel is completed, the maintenance and use personnel should also arrive in time."
Chief Engineer Chi was a little strange: "The designers' work is over. Last?”
Gao Zhendong nodded: "Yes, the top priority is to manufacture them in batches and then use them as soon as possible. As for design improvements, we can put them off later. The replacement of new generations is not too urgent in the short term."
Li After thinking about it for a while, Chi and Chi thought it made sense. He was worthy of being the one who wrote the "Project Management System".
They also received the notice of intention to train on this book, and arranged for key personnel, including themselves, to participate. However, they did not expect that the training teacher had been abducted by them to the computing center before the training started. .
Gao Zhendong looked at the design information engraved by the computing institute again. Each copy of this information is numbered. According to Director Li, in principle, it is issued every day, recycled every day, and signed for collection. , the responsibility lies with people.
It seems that the computing institute has also considered the need for confidentiality, but this is very troublesome, and it is unnecessary to distribute the entire book.
Gao Zhendong suggested to Director Li that the entire document be split up. The manufacturing part and the design part can be managed in this way, but the characteristic parameters and usage parts are not necessary. There are no machine instruction sets, assembly language instructions, maintenance methods, etc. Too much confidentiality value.
In this way, what should be kept secret should be kept secret, and what should be let go for everyone to grasp, should also be let go for everyone to grasp, so that this thing can be quickly promoted.
Computers are different from weapons. The characteristic parameters of weapons are absolutely secret, but computers are not. You know how fast I calculate, how much power I consume, and how much storage I have. It is of no use. The key is that you have no idea what I use to calculate.
What if I use it to write poems, such as "The smoke of the big mushroom is straight, and the long core falls".
When the two people in the computing office heard this, they praised it repeatedly and immediately asked the comrades in the confidential room to handle it.
Gao Zhendong doesn't think that they can't even think of this, but sometimes, there are some things that are inconvenient for them to do, and they would rather have more trouble than more trouble. As for Gao Zhendong's identity, it is more convenient to say this.
After discussing the work plan with Director Li and Chief Engineer Chi, Director Li and Chief Engineer Chi said a few words respectively and then invited Gao Zhendong to come to the stage.
Gao Zhendong was not polite. He came to the stage to say hello, and after expressing his willingness to cooperate closely with everyone, he directly started arranging work: "Comrades, there are many things in this system. Let's do it step by step. Below is , Comrades involved in the next step of mass production of the system will stay. If other comrades have jobs, they can go to work. "
It means that if you are free, you can listen to it, but there is no doubt that, There are not many idle people these days, and the number of people suddenly decreased a lot.
In fact, the manufacturing part is not troublesome. After all, we work according to the drawings, and all the drawings, schematic diagrams, circuit board diagrams, dimensional drawings, wiring diagrams, interface diagrams, and structural diagrams are all here by Gao Zhendong. Painted.
As for craftsmanship, transistor computers are highly sophisticated in one direction. The most troublesome aspects are actually creativity, principles, circuit design, and electromagnetic compatibility. These things are all done in Gao Zhendong's drawings.
Unlike aircraft and ships, which is an entire industry with countless subsystems integrated. At this time, the advancement of a single technology has become less important. The strength of system integration capabilities is the real thing. When it's time.
Concerning this, the engineering cybernetics of the famous "Fifth Division Scientist" made it very clear.
Well done, see Da Maozi before they were buried. They can use a bunch of less advanced technologies to make a usable thing, such as the famous "Flying Stainless Steel" - MiG- 25.
Those who do poorly are the typical ones who can use a bunch of advanced individual technologies to create an indescribable thing, such as the discontinued SpaceJet (MRJ).
Back to the manufacturing of transistor computers, in fact, what needs further work now are two things that don't seem so advanced: keyboards and monitors.
Therefore, Gao Zhendong has to arrange work first, it is these two.
Dividing the comrades in charge of the display into a group, Gao Zhendong said: "Comrades, your task is divided into two steps."
"The first step is to follow the drawings I gave you. With this step in manufacturing a computer-to-TV signal converter, any 400-line TV that supports the PAL format can be used, which will solve an urgent need.”
The impatient ones below. Comrade: "Director Gao, what about the second step?"
Gao Zhendong took out a printed book of design materials he had just left and turned to the image output interface: "According to the physical specifications and electrical requirements of this interface, you select a suitable CRT picture tube and design a dedicated display for each computer. There is always a TV set next to it, it doesn’t seem so ridiculous.” All the comrades laughed, and the training room was filled with joy.
Gao Zhendong said with a smile: "The monitor I am using now was temporarily modified from my TV set at home. When I was studying this set of things, I mainly focused on the computer and supporting programs. It's above. So this monitor is so-so and can be used as a makeshift display device, but it is not suitable for serious display equipment. This step depends on the efforts of the comrades. Of course, the specifications of the dedicated monitor itself will be discussed later. It will be revealed here.”
There were comrades below who were listening and talking quietly to the people around them.
“It’s amazing that he is willing to modify his own TV.”
"I'm kidding, I heard that you are the youngest 8th grade engineer in the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant, and the money is still low."
"You are still a 7th grade engineer, why haven't I seen you change to another one?"
< br>"My skills are not good."
"You are so damn embarrassed."
Look, as long as a person is sincere enough, then he is invulnerable.
At this time, Gao Zhendong had already started making keyboards in Guilong.
“Keyboard warriors. Comrades in the keyboard group, your tasks are similar to theirs, but your tasks are heavier and more urgent. I have the keyboard design requirements and keyboard scans that I have compiled here. Circuit drawings. You need to carry out structural design, material selection, processing technology research, and mass production process deepening as soon as possible according to the design drawings, and make the keyboard as soon as possible."
A comrade raised his hand and asked: "Director Gao. , isn’t there already a keyboard here? Can’t it be produced according to this?”
Gao Zhendong patted the current keyboard and said with a smile: “This won’t work. This keyboard is made from an old typewriter. The key positions are modified. The quantity is not enough. If it is produced according to this, it will be very inconvenient to use, and it will not be able to take advantage of the full set of characters I have designed. "
"And this thing is not perfect in terms of shape or structure. Optimized, heavy weight, long key travel, high keystroke force, and too hard bottom, which is very detrimental to the user’s hand health.”
Listening to Gao Zhendong's words, Director Li and Chief Engineer Chi both admired them. They didn't expect that the design of a simple keyboard could have so many tricks. Gao Zhendong even considered the user's health. He really The two cried to death.
Actually, there is another sentence that Gao Zhendong did not say. If this thing needs to be modified with a typewriter, it will be very difficult to modify it. Just the dense row of connecting rods can make the computing institute's head count. , not a mechanical institute.
Gao Zhendong himself always asked Yi Zhonghai, the eighth-level fitter in the yard, to solve the problem. In this regard, all the computing institutes combined were far behind Yi Zhonghai. They were asked to come up with this in a short time. When it comes to craftsmanship, it's obviously a bit of a joke.
Director Li interjected: "Will it be in time for the training?"
Gao Zhendong made a "reassured" expression: "Director Li, the problem is not big. If the transistor The computer comes out first, then we can put aside other requirements and make some keyboards that can output normally. During training, we can first draw some paper simulation keyboards according to the keyboard key map I gave, and get familiar with the key positions first. .”
This method of making do with simplicity, drawing equipment on paper, and practicing first is also our old tradition. Don't say it's crude, it really works.
When Director Li heard this, he thought it was really a solution. A set of silky small combos could basically solve this problem.
The rest is the most important - the manufacturing of the transistor computer body and memory.
What the comrades of the Computing Institute did not expect was that in this aspect, it was actually the simplest, because all the information was provided by the system, and there were no errors or problems, from material selection to process to drawings. To specifications, they are all standard, feasible, mature and clear.
Therefore, Gao Zhendong did not say much about this most important thing: "Comrades in the computer group and memory group, this is much more convenient for you. All my energy is basically consumed by these two. A baby has been eaten, so they are the most mature and perfect. Your task is to work with me to completely digest and absorb them and create them as quickly as possible.”
In fact, as long as the production equipment and components are complete, it is not a big problem to build one in five to ten days.
What needs to be done in manufacturing is board making, plug-ins, welding, error checking, cleaning, and assembly. Gao Zhendong may not be able to do it alone, but there are many people in the computing department.
Listening to Gao Zhendong’s preliminary arrangements, everyone was full of energy and full of laughter.
At this time, in various units that had received a confidential notification from the 12th Ministry of Machinery with photos of the actual machine, several bosses from various places were carefully checking the photos and system parameters in the notification. , looking excited.
