Chapter 499 It’s been a year
Several comrades were reading and communicating, and even picked up pen and paper to do calculations.
When they finally finished reading, they raised their heads and said, "Dear leaders, there is a way to this technology."
Hearing this, the comrades finally felt relieved.
It would be good to be able to recover some of it. Now we are very stuck for money.
In order to enhance their persuasiveness, several comrades explained: "This process uses physical and chemical methods to separate and remove other components in the black powder without destroying the ingredients of the black powder and ensuring safety, and basically ensures that the black powder taken out is The performance of the medicine is relatively simple, there are no too dangerous operations, and the equipment and chemicals used are not expensive.”
Another comrade also added: “I just forgot about it. Look, if this process is used, the recycled black powder, even if it is downgraded, is 60 to 70% cheaper than new production.”
This is very high, and some things are not enough. , not whether it is expensive or not, it is great to be able to recycle so much.
Everyone discussed it and decided to follow Gao Zhendong’s full plan.
Comprehensively adopt an equipment accelerated test evaluation system to check the reliability and life of all ammunition containing No. 4 charges. And use the gunpowder recovery process or improved process provided by Gao Zhendong to recover the usable part of the old-fashioned charge.
After the meeting, the leader of the National Defense Working Committee called Gao Zhendong and said a few words.
"Thank you, what you provided has saved a lot of losses."
Gao Zhendong put down the phone and was in a very happy mood.
——
At Lao Maozi’s place in the north, Comrade Sergeyev’s mood was not so good.
He held a report in his hand, and the content of the report was very simple and straightforward.
"Request for Instructions on Increasing the Import of Computers, Operating Systems, E-mail Systems and Printers to Southern Comrades".
This is a commonly used title format for official documents. It strives to make people see the core content at a glance and quickly determine the priority of things.
For example, Comrade Sergeyev now understands the content of this report through the title at a glance.
But he was not in the mood to praise the comrade who wrote the report for his good title. Instead, he felt very frustrated.
"Comrade Petrovich, I need an explanation why this list is getting longer and larger?"
"I think it's because their stuff is really useful. Comrade Sergeyev, the report you have in your hand comes from the faraway Arctic Circle. He just sent it from there this morning, and you can hold a copy in your hand and read it now because it mentions Email system, printer." Petrovich shrugged.
"That's an excuse, Petrovich, a teletypewriter and a telegraph would do the same thing." Sergeyev was not stupid.
Petrovich nodded: "Yes, my comrade. But it took them less than a minute to send this long document, just using the telephone we had set up. Lines. They don't require typists or telegraph operators to sit in front of a teletype machine or a radio station for a long half hour."
Sergeyev realized the difference: "I think this is important. People in Lubyanka are more useful. For us, time is still affordable. We don’t need such expensive equipment, let alone such expensive equipment in the south!”
Being able to use ordinary telephone lines to send messages quickly may make Lubyanka's comrades more interested in them.
Petrovich shook his head: "Comrade Sergeyev, time is precious for everyone. This email has another advantage. It does not require cooperation between the two parties, which is important to everyone. It is a very convenient thing for people. Moreover, it is very easy to copy, just print it out directly with a printer.”
“Then we’ve had enough! Comrade Petrovich! ”
For Sergeyev, it was all worth it as long as he could get rid of the shadow of the southern comrades.
"Have you forgotten? We have asked our scientist comrades to take a look at it. They need time to adjust and match. When they complete the adjustment, I don't know how things will develop."
DJS-59 is the easiest to imitate, because everything about it is exposed, and the requirements for manufacturing are not high. The only problem is that it takes some time to make peripherals for Laomaozi's self-produced transistors. Adjustment and matching of resistive components.
There are still some old guys who have transistors, but this is not the bad news.
“Moreover, if the investment costs are taken into account, the price of our own production will be much higher than the price quoted by the southern comrades. Comrade Sergeyev, I think this is not the time to cling to prejudice. "
"What about the software? Operating systems, email systems, I think these can be copied. "
Lao Maozi's mathematics is not a vegetarian, let alone now. The software basically has no encryption means.
Petrovich shrugged his shoulders: "You are right, the southern comrades are very understanding and even go ahead of us."
These words made Sergeyev feel deeply malicious, He looked at Petrovich: "What do you mean?"
"The southern comrades also considered this issue. They very thoughtfully proposed a new trading method. They offered it to them all at once. We provide the email protocol and source code of the email system. If we use it ourselves, we will not pay any fees to them." Sergeyev was surprised for a while, and then realized that things might not be that simple.
“My comrade Petrovich, what is the price?”
"We don't charge the price. They have reached an agreement with the comrades in charge of the equipment. We just need to provide them with some things they are interested in. You see, this is perfect."
In fact, this It was a decision made by comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Commerce based on the situation analysis provided by Gao Zhendong.
E-mail is very easy to copy based on Lao Maozi's ability. Instead of keeping it secret, it is better to change it to something else.
This thing is very useful, but there is not much need to keep it secret, because with Lao Maozi's ability, it is easy to make a substitute.
Instead of this, it’s better to do that. Hey, I’ll make it public to you. Don’t start over again. Just hang yourself on our tree. By the way, you can take the Economic Assistance Council and the country with you and have your big brother as an example. , they will catch up. Once this system takes shape, it will not be easy to change it.
And within a certain period of time, in fact, there are not many less things sold, because the DJS-59 in Lao Maozi's hands is limited. With his own software, how many sets of computers can you buy?
It still takes time and energy to transplant this thing to Lao Maozi's own computer. The extra machines sold plus the technology exchanged for it, all calculated inside and out, is not a loss.
As for selling it to others, that’s a shame. You can use it yourself, but you can’t sell it. At this point, Lao Maozi still wants to have some shame, but not until he completely breaks his face.
“What about the operating system?”
“They said this thing is not mature yet, so they cannot provide source code for the time being.”
This is the truth. In Gao Zhendong's opinion, the operating system is indeed immature, so the source code will not be provided, which will harm the northern comrades.
This answer once again made Sergeyev a little angry. He said fiercely: "Printer! Let our comrades make copies of the printer! At most, import another batch!"
Being able to reject a product seems to have given him some psychological balance.
Petrovich shrugged: "As you wish, my dear Comrade Sergeyev."
Petrovich walked out of the office, on the import list, Five times the number on the printer, this thing is cheap, buy more of it.
Comrade Sergeyev has just decided that he can only buy this batch again. Then he must prepare more for his comrades. This thing is really useful.
Comrade Sergeyev has the final say whether to buy it or not, but Comrade Petrovich has a say in how much to buy.
After receiving the list returned by Lao Maozi, the comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Commerce smiled.
“It seems that the printer business will not last long with Lao Maozi, so it is just a one-time deal.”
“That doesn’t matter, with them as an example, the Economic Assistance Association and the country are still They will come to us. I don’t know if it will be this year or next year when they complete the imitation of this product.
"Well, and the profit margin of this thing is not particularly high. The reason why it is exported is mainly to consider the need for complete sets of equipment."
In fact, as long as a piece of equipment is successfully integrated into a system, it will probably form Path dependence, before there are major changes, few people are willing to change, because no one will take responsibility.
This is just like Gao Zhendong’s previous life. Many domestic manufacturers using cheap microcontrollers were out of stock due to major special circumstances and had to switch to domestic microcontrollers. Only then did they discover that the domestic microcontrollers were actually not bad in quality and had stronger functions. , and it’s so much cheaper.
The more special and important the industry and department, the more it is like this.
For example, the shuttle bus at the airport is not that high-tech. It is just a low-floor bus, but it is expensive because no one wants to take the responsibility and replace it at will. Drop it.
In short, the printer at Lao Maozi may be gone after one sale, but it can still be sold in other economic aid countries.
No matter how much, the production capacity is not enough. Now the computing institute is preparing for its own new factory. It turns out that the manpower is really not enough.
Similar things also happened with Gallic Chicken.
Mr. Senna looked at the documents in his hand and looked at Le Goff with an evil look in his eyes.
“Le Goff, I remember saying, don’t think about this for a year!”
Le Goff smiled: "Mr. Senna, you said this in December 1960, but now, it is 1961, it has been a year, isn't it?"
