Chapter 225 Secretary Zheng’s Good Deeds
On Saturday afternoon, Gao Zhendong came to the conference room at the time notified by the 12th Machinery Department.
A lot of people came, including the National Defense Working Committee, the Postal and Communications Committee, the Education Office, and the Publicity Office. Among them were Gao Zhendong’s acquaintances, such as the leaders of the National Defense Working Committee, and the leaders of the Computing Institute. Director and Chief Engineer Chi.
It’s interesting to say that all the other ministries and commissions came as deputies, but he was the only one who came in person.
There is a person from the 17th Machinery Department, but this person’s identity is more interesting. He is the secretary of the leader of the 17th Machinery Department, Secretary Zheng.
It seems that he may be up to something good. In addition, the Seventeenth Machinery Department only needs to express its attitude at this meeting. The specific matters have little to do with the department, so they simply send him here, which is considered as gold plating.
The meeting hasn't started yet. The two are not very different in age and are familiar with each other. Gao Zhendong sat down and chatted with him first. Secretary Zheng was also very enthusiastic.
Gao Zhendong laughed in a low voice: "Secretary Zheng, it seems that you are about to increase your burden, right?"
Secretary Zheng had a happy face. If it were anyone else, he might have to cover his face. Damn it, he is not willing to make it public until the matter is settled.
But Gao Zhendong is different here. Once he goes out, he will need the support of powerful people, and Gao Zhendong is just like this.
The level is not far different from his, chief and deputy, which means that in actual work, both of them basically handle work at the same level. This is for Secretary Zheng who is a secretary and wants to do practical things to lay a solid foundation. That said, it’s just the right level to get things done together.
In this regard, Secretary Zheng does not need people with higher levels. It is enough for him to have the leaders of the 17th Machinery Department to check behind him. There are too many high-level people. Even if they cooperate, things will not be done. Whose?
Gao Zhendong, who has strength, real power, ability, good character, and no competition in his work, is a God-given collaborator for Secretary Zheng.
In addition, the leaders of the Seventeenth Machinery Department have always cared about Gao Zhendong, so he and Gao Zhendong were naturally close, so seeing that Gao Zhendong had guessed it, there was nothing to hide.
He smiled and nodded: "It should be in the past few months, but the direction has not been decided yet. Director Gao will have to help me more then."
This sentence comes from the bottom of his heart. For him, he definitely needs to achieve results, and there are two directions for achieving results, namely organizational and business.
For him, who is originally a secretary, his organizational work resume is enough for the time being. If he wants to go further in the future, what he needs is to make up for the weaknesses and gaps in business work, so that his resume will be rich and comprehensive enough.
To make up for business work, in their system, there are only two directions, one is production and the other is scientific research.
As for production, if you want to achieve results, firstly, it is uncontrollable. Secondly, for Secretary Zheng, who is just starting out, it will take a certain amount of time to adapt and improve, and the results will be slower.
Scientific research is different. He knows Gao Zhendong’s abilities very well. He is basically certain that as long as he has the opportunity to cooperate with Gao Zhendong on one or two projects, the matter will be stable!
Then we can use this as a basis to build momentum and gradually supplement our production experience, and everything will fall into place.
So he did not hesitate and immediately sent a request for help to Gao Zhendong. As for the olive branch, there was no need to hand it over. The two of them had long been close.
Gao Zhendong probably understood what he meant, nodded and smiled: "Don't forget to say it once the matter is settled, I will go and celebrate it for you."
Secretary Zheng was sure, although Knowing Gao Zhendong's character, he must be willing to contribute, but hearing these words with his own ears still made him feel relieved.
The two laughed and chatted casually, waiting for the meeting to start.
Not long after, everyone arrived, and the leader of the 12th Machinery Department announced the start of the meeting.
The meeting focused on one topic: how to use computer communications at this stage.
First of all, please give an introduction to Gao Zhendong on the current situation of communication between computers.
Gao Zhendong introduced the current situation, functions, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of modems, message transmission and file transmission.
After listening to this, Secretary Zheng realized that what Gao Zhendong had in hand was far beyond what he knew. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he had taken the right step, and the matter was already halfway done.
Others were even more interested, especially those from the National Defense Work Committee and the Postal and Communications Committee.
The Postal and Communications Commission member smiled and said: "Although Director Gao's modem relies on the telephone network, its application prospects and technical nature far exceed the telephone network. The prospects are very great."< br>
As expected of a member of the Postal and Communications Commission, he saw through the nature of the Internet at a glance.
If the current long-distance network relies on the telephone network, in the future, things will be exactly the opposite, and the telephone network will rely on the construction of the network.
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "The leader is right. The essence of the modem is a data communication network. For the data communication network, telephone calls and telegrams are all data on it. However, due to technical limitations, long-distance data communication The network needs to be carried on the physical carrier of the telephone network. "In fact, modems in a broad sense have been widely used in the future, such as in mobile phones, regenerative repeaters or switches, optical fiber communication equipment, etc., as long as Equipment involved in digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversion in communications is essentially inseparable from modulation and demodulation technology.
Someone from the Postal and Communications Commission asked: "Can this technology now replace telegraphy to a certain extent?"
Gao Zhendong said: "Technically yes, the information transmission speed of this technology, It is far superior to telegraph technology in terms of transmission costs and personnel usage thresholds, but for the time being, there are actually some difficulties due to cost issues. "
Comrades from the Postal and Communications Commission feel a little regretful. After all, it is so expensive to send telegraphs now. The price is still not convenient for the masses.
In addition to telegraphs, at this time and in the next twenty or thirty years, the postal system actually used teletypewriters as a means of communication. However, the only thing that this thing actually solved was the technical threshold for sending telegrams. Encoding, copying and translating reports are still similar to telegraphy.
The reason is very simple. The teletype machine can still only transmit numbers, punctuation and English letters. Chinese characters still have to be converted into four-digit telegraph codes for sending, receiving and translating. It is nothing more than missing a step to convert the telegraph code into Morse code. Just the steps to send out.
He said: "It's a pity. If we could, we could bring down the price of the telegram and make the convenience even higher."
The leader of the National Defense Working Committee heard this We can probably understand the benefits of this technology here: "Zhendong, you mean that this technology can send a variety of files and data at any time, not necessarily text?"
Gao Zhendong nodded: " Yes, in fact, all text, pictures, sounds, etc. are data, and one advantage of the data sent by this technology is that it can be processed automatically, unlike making phone calls or having to rely on people. If you have an accent, I often can’t hear clearly.”
The leader of the National Defense Work Committee was a little excited: “Automatic processing?”
Gao Zhendong didn't explain it clearly, but just mentioned it in a very vague way: "For example, Citigroup's 'chess game'."
"Chess game"? What kind of chess game? The leader was just about to ask, but suddenly realized that what Gao Zhendong wanted to say was "game chess"!
Saiqi is actually a transliteration. The original text is SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment), which is Citigroup's semi-automatic ground air defense system. It is something similar to the northern Lao Maozi's "Air" automatic air defense guidance system.
In China, we only know sporadically that there is such a thing, and we also know what it does, but we don’t know more specifically. At a certain level, at least people know about the existence of this thing. For example, Gao Zhendong is in During some basic exchanges with the National Defense Working Committee, I learned about the existence of this thing.
Thinking of this answer, the leader of the National Defense Working Committee was horrified, and then overjoyed. Automatic command system? If you want to say this, I won’t be sleepy at all!
But he also knew that this thing couldn't be discussed openly here, otherwise Gao Zhendong wouldn't play riddles with him.
He laughed: "Come to the committee another day and let's talk about it!"
Gao Zhendong nodded, then turned to the people of the Postal and Communications Committee and smiled: "Leader, actually It’s not impossible to reduce costs. I’m doing related work in this area, but it just takes some time.”
The so-called related work is single-board computers, and the price of single-board computers is lower than that of DJS-59. It is even cheaper. Not to mention that it will bloom everywhere, but it should be slowly spread at the county level and above.
There are only a few thousand counties in the country, but the actual number of teletype machines is more than 30,000 for one model alone. A single-board computer equipped with a keyboard and a monitor is actually no more expensive than a teletype machine. How many.
At the same time, the speed of a single-board computer, let alone anything else, is more than enough for sending text messages and the like, at least for civilian use.
The leader of the Postal and Communications Commission was overjoyed: "Really? Then I'm waiting for your good news. If you need any support, just ask. When I get back, I will send a message to the Institute of Communications, asking them to be ready to cooperate with you at any time."
Gao Zhendong, who accidentally picked up a handful of wool, said happily: "Okay, thank you, leader."
At this time, the person at the publicity mouth raised a question to the leader of the 12th Machine Department: "This is all a good thing, so why do we need to hold this meeting specifically? Can't we just promote it directly."
The leader of the 12th Machinery Department smiled and said: "This question should be answered by Director Gao."< br>
Gao Zhendong smiled bitterly and said: "One of the problems with this thing is that it is too convenient and easy to be exploited."
Everyone didn't quite understand. Gao Zhendong added: "This thing spreads information very fast. This is the first. It is impossible to monitor manually because people cannot understand the data. This is the second. If the transmitted information is encrypted, it will be difficult to monitor the data. This is the third.
Who are all present? As soon as Gao Zhendong said these half-hidden words, he understood them all.
The speed at which this thing spreads information far exceeds the response speed of existing management methods!
