Chapter 385 Z-4(1/2)
"Yes! It is not that difficult to annihilate an armed force in the Amazon jungle. Just mobilizing the logistical supplies required for the army is enough to give a headache.
Now let’s see whether the first wave of attacks by the border guards can be effective!”
Sirio Leitch heard Fang Lang's words and said slowly and hesitantly
"Boss, I'm not optimistic about the border guard's encirclement and suppression of the Eddie brothers, because as far as I know, this armed force has close contacts with the border guard. Maybe their plan has been blocked before the border guard starts taking action.
Brother Eddie's got it."
Fang Lang was not surprised at all when he heard this, he smiled and nodded
"This is a normal situation, otherwise why would Brissot Eddie dare to blatantly declare the establishment of an independent armed force!
If he couldn't even resist such a simple first wave of attacks, it would be a big joke.
Judging from the current situation, Brisso Eddie is not such a brainless person.
He must have someone to rely on!"
"Then should we do something?"
Sirio Leitch asked melancholy.
"No, it's not time for us to take action yet. Your task now is to find a way to arrange for people to break into them and find out their intelligence. We must know where their camp is.
The route of transporting DP and the situation of their organization must be investigated clearly.
Either we don't take action, or if we do, we must use thunder and lightning to wipe them out completely."
"Yes, boss! However, we don't know much about them. It may take some effort and time to break into them."
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, safety is the most important thing!"
At the same time, in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, the computer research team led by Konrad Zuse finally reassembled his fourth-generation electronic computer Z-4.
"Mr. Chu Ze, do we need to notify the boss that they are here to participate in the test?"
Konrad Zuse's assistant looked at the big guy in front of him who almost occupied the entire room, and asked Conrad Zuse excitedly.
"No, this computer was successfully developed by me as early as 1945. It is not a brand-new research result.
It’s just that the original computer was moved away by the British, and now we have just completed the reassembly, which is nothing to be proud of.”
In Konrad Zuse's mind, this z-4 computer is not a new research result. After all, he had successfully developed it in Germany as early as 1945.
But in the eyes of assistants and others, this is a brand new high technology. Especially when Konrad Zuse designed a programming language pnaue, calculations have become very simple.
Calculations that originally required a lot of manpower and a lot of time to complete can actually be done by just inputting relevant books, and the computer can quickly calculate the correct answer.
Especially, when the data that a group of people took a long time to calculate were given accurate answers by a computer within two seconds, for these assistant researchers who were exposed to electronic computers for the first time, it was like seeing God.
If everyone hadn't participated in the assembly of this big guy, they would have even wondered whether Mr. Konrad Zuse was cheating, because this really broke everyone's perception.
[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on updates. It allows me to switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. The huanyuan app is available for Android and Apple.]
Although everyone is still not very clear about what this big guy can do, the fact that it can greatly shorten people's calculation time is shocking enough.
"But, Mr. Konrad Zuse, the boss has high hopes for your research. We have completed the corresponding research. I think we should let investors see our results, right?
Only in this way will the boss continue to give us more capital investment."
After hearing this, Konrad Zuse was silent for a while and then said slowly
"You are right, if we want to have more advanced electronic computers, we really need a large amount of capital investment from the boss.
We really should notify the boss and come over to see with our own eyes the big thing we assembled.
Moreover, it was my boss who provided me with a lot of help and helped me build this brand-new laboratory, so that our z-4 could be launched again.
I think I should really thank my boss."
Then Konrad Zuse shook his head helplessly and said
"Unfortunately, the assembly time of our Z-4 is still delayed. In February this year, the US military commissioned the University of Pennsylvania to assemble an electronic computer.
Although my Z-4 had been successfully developed as early as 1945, the original machine had been dismantled by the British, and now the Americans have announced that they have developed the world's first electronic computer."
p>
It can be seen from this that Konrad Zuse did not want to inform Fang Lang that his new computer has been assembled.
Rather, they expressed dissatisfaction with the announcement this year by Americans that they had developed the world's first electronic computer.
Obviously he had developed the world's first real electronic computer as early as 1945, but because of the war, he missed the title of the father of computers.
It’s strange that my heart is so happy!
The assistant felt his emotions and quickly spoke
"Professor Conrad, don't be discouraged. I think as long as we can prove that our z-4 is indeed available earlier than the American electronic computer, we can regain the honor that should belong to us, right?
p>
I think with the influence of the boss, I will be able to help you."
When Conrad Zuse heard this, he was also moved. After all, according to Fang Lang, he is one of the shareholders of Bell Labs in the United States. He should know many experts and professors in the field of electronic computers. Maybe he can really help him regain the power.
The honor that should belong to you!
"You are right, we will notify the boss right away and let him see how great our z-4 is."
Soon, the news reached Fang Lang's ears.
Fang Lang was very excited when he heard the news and flew directly to Porto Alegre without hesitation.
Originally there was no airport in Porto Alegre, but with the increase in Chinese immigrants, Fangyuan Group has increased its investment in Rio Grande do Sul. In order to strengthen Rio Grande do Sul’s connections with the outside world, Fangyuan Group’s
Airport Services Company built its own second airport belonging to Fangyuan Group in Porto Alegre.
And began to operate this new route externally, opening two routes from Rio de Janeiro to Porto Alegre, and from Sao Paulo to Porto Alegre. As for the route from Natal to Porto Alegre, it requires a transit in Rio de Janeiro for refueling.
The main reason is that this line is only a branch line in Brazil. There is no need to equip a direct route from Natal to Porto Alegre. After all, there are not many business exchanges between the two cities, and it is impossible to maintain a normal route.
Run.
When Fang Lang took a special plane to fly directly to Porto Alegre, he immediately came to Konrad Zuse's computer laboratory.
Looking at the computer in front of him that occupied an entire huge room, Fang Lang felt an indescribable shock. Conrad Zuse, who was on the side, saw Fang Lang's expression and felt very happy, because being able to shock the boss meant that
His research was successful, and funding for further in-depth research in the future has been secured.
"Conrad, could you please introduce this big guy to me?"
Konrad Zuse heard this and said with a smile on his face
"Boss, this is what I told you. The fourth-generation computer I successfully developed in 1945 used a binary calculation method. The memory unit was expanded from 64 bits to 1024 bits, and it was all composed of relays.<
/p>
Using the programming language I designed, very complex mathematical operations can be easily completed."
But when Fang Lang heard the familiar 1024-bit storage unit and binary calculation, he knew that he had definitely found a treasure, although he didn't know what these specifically meant.
However, people from later generations are still familiar with these two numbers of computers.
Especially when he heard that a specially designed programming language was used, he was even more shocked. Now he still doesn't know how different this programming is from the programming methods of later generations.
But a computer with programming capabilities is a real computer in Fang Lang's opinion.
Then, Konrad Zuse concealed how to use the programming language for Fang Lang and completed a set of very complex operations.
When the calculation results were directly displayed, Fang Lang was so excited that he almost jumped up.
He grabbed Konrad Zuse's hand without hesitation
"Conrad, I am very sure that you are a genius. You can create such an advanced computer using relays. I will apply for a patent for you and make your name known all over the world."
When Konrad Zuse heard this, he said with a somewhat gloomy expression
"However, in February this year, the University of Pennsylvania in the United States announced that they had developed the world's first electronic computer."
"Haha, it doesn't matter! As long as we can prove that your z-4 was successfully developed in 1945, we can take back the honor of being the inventor of the world's first computer.
However, your computer seems to be somewhat different from the computers studied by Americans, right?
I remember it was said in the newspaper that the computers developed by Americans seem to use more than 17,000 electron tubes, more than 7,000 diodes and more than 1,500 relays. And yours uses relays. So these two
Which computer is more advanced?"
Fang Lang is not a professional electronics expert after all, and does not have enough knowledge in this area, so he is not sure how big the difference is between the two computers.
When Konrad Zuse heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said
"I have also seen this news. I have to say that Americans' computers are more advanced. Their calculation speed is 5,000 additions or 400 multiplications per second. The calculation speed is 1,000 times faster than my relay-type calculator.
times.
So, in terms of advanced level, computers like his are definitely more advanced."
I originally thought that the computer studied by Konrad Zuse would be very advanced, but when he heard that the computing speed of American computers was a thousand times faster than his, Fang Lang was slightly disappointed.
However, he soon realized that Konrad Zuse had single-handedly developed this kind of computer that relied solely on relays in 1945, although it was not as advanced as the computer developed by the University of Pennsylvania.<
