Shortly after the inspection of the northwest, news that the US Congress officially passed the Philippines' independence bill finally came, and there was another sovereign state in the South China Sea. After seeing off Trotsky, Wang Zhengting immediately joined the negotiations on the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Philippines. Although the United States' influence is still there, the Philippines also attaches great importance to its relationship with its close neighbors.

Shortly after the Manila Congress announced his inauguration, Manuel Louisquezon came to Beijing to personally preside over the establishment of diplomatic relations and deepen bilateral relations. Yang Qiu gave his visit the highest standard reception and publicly stated that China had no intention of the Philippines' territory and would not allow any country to undermine the Philippines' independence. This promise made Quezon, who had always been worried that the United States would be annexed by others after it was withdrawn, and in return he immediately approved the mining investment projects of seven Chinese companies in the Philippines, and for the first time allowed Chinese banks, including Shanxi Bank, to set up branches in any city in the Philippines.

The news of Philippine independence has caused a great response at home. The newspapers have different opinions. Some say that this is a good thing, and some say that the Philippines is too weak to protect itself, which will lead to invasion by others and ultimately harm Taiwan and China's sovereignty in the South China Sea. However, no matter how the Philippines' independence still causes a strong sensation in countries around the world, especially colonies.

Not long after, Batavia, Borneo, Sumatra, Vietnam, India and other regions held a massive independence march, demanding the end of colonial rule to establish an independent country. The happiest part of this round of movement was the Indian National Democratic Party led by Chandra. After taking the opportunity to absorb a large number of young people who demand independence, the Indian National Democratic Party instantly became the second largest party in the country that could threaten the status of the Congress party, and also truly pushed India to the brink of civil war. Another happy person was Stalin. Using this round of independence movement, GC International fanned the flames in Southeast Asia and India, and also established GC International's International Movement Center in Afghanistan for the first time, posing an active intervention.

Similarly, the National Society, which has gone abroad, is not willing to lag behind, and accelerates the publicity of National Society's ideas and promotes the Chinese model independence movement.

Spring thunder and awaken insects, all things sing!

The pattern of the world political sector changes little by little under the influence of drastic geopolitical changes, just waiting for the shocking lightning to fall.

The night in August was stuffy and uncomfortable. The Wuhan National Defense University library was filled with non-commissioned officers who read and cool down. But strangely, when everyone was concentrated under the ceiling fan, in a corner where the wind could not blow, there was a strong lieutenant with a wide-open collar with a large 26-year-old man who was looking for information and writing and painting, with a focused expression. As the highest institution of the army, the National Defense University has become the world's top military institution after 20 years of development. Here, it can not only learn various military tactical strategies, but also many military "chapters are updated the fastest" scientific research projects exist, in the words of the older generation. Astronomy and geography are all adopted.

But it is not easy to enter here, because the admissions of the National Defense University is very strict. Students must have the experience of studying in other military academies across the country, and have more than one year of grassroots experience in the military. Then they must first obtain a recommendation letter through internal selection, then obtain a recommendation letter from Congress, and finally the president signs on the admission list to enter here. Of course, in order to absorb fresh blood, the National Defense University will also absorb talents from private universities, but most of them are talents in science and technology, and only a few military or political strategy talents do not need to be recommended to enter here.

"Look, look, look. Latest news, the US military is going to withdraw from Little Luzon (Philippines)."

A voice broke the tranquility of the library. Most of the people here are young people of twenty-six or seven years old, and they all learn military affairs, so the big military trends will attract sought after. So the shouting non-commissioned officer student was quickly pressed down on a wide table by several classmates, and the newspaper was also snatched away. "I said, brothers, don't snatch it, there are still here." The non-commissioned officer student stood up with a smile, and made a similar newspaper from somewhere, but before he was happy for too long, he was snatched away from behind.

"Who dares to steal my stuff?" The non-commissioned officer shouted and turned his head, but when he saw the other person's appearance clearly, he immediately turned into a hippie smile: "Brother Zhuo Fan, please analyze it for us."

The man who grabbed the newspaper was the young man who just sat in the corner to write something. His name was Zhuo Fan, a graduate of the sixth class of the Chenyang Army Armored Soldier School. Later, he served as the company commander of the Armored Regiment in the 103 Central Guard Division. He was recommended to participate in the National Defense University assessment for his outstanding performance. After entering the National Defense University, he gradually showed his military talent and became the "company commander" for two consecutive years.

This "company commander" is not the company commander in the army, but the trainees themselves selected and obtained by the best students after each assessment. Due to the fierce competition, there are often scenes of turning over within a year. Each company commander is also the target of looting by various troops. Now the famous middle-aged officers such as Zhu Peide, Liu Mingzhao, Long Yun, and Bai Chongxi in the army have all won the title of company commander for one year. Zhuo Fan is the same. In addition to the first four months in the two years since he entered the school, he has steadily dominated the throne of "company commander". It is said that he has been chased by several troops after one year of graduation. Even the First Division, which is known as the trump card, pays special attention to him. The division commander Chu Nan himself went to the Ministry of National Defense to call him.

The military academy is like the army, and it believes in strength. The company commander was chosen by the students themselves, so everyone admires it even more. However, Zhuo Fan is obviously different from his previous ranks. He never takes this nickname seriously. Not only does he dress in an ordinary manner, he is also not very good at speaking, so he picked up the newspaper and sat back in the corner without saying a word.

The students were unwilling to give up and surrounded him again, hoping to listen to him comment on the US military ""The withdrawal from the South China Sea. Although Zhuo Fan was taciturn, he was not an inhumane person. After reading the news, he returned the newspaper to his classmates and said lightly: "It's going to fight."

"War? I said, Boss Zhuo, who doesn't know that the probability of Japan going south is increasing." The non-commissioned officers who brought the newspapers are obviously not ordinary people, and they deliberately stared at Zhuo Fan. Zhuo Fan didn't care about this kind of provocation. The military academy encouraged competition. As long as it was not malicious, no one would care about the single fight on the playground.

But the war he was talking about was not Nanyang. He raised his head and said, "Who told you that it was Nanyang? I was talking about the Northwest."

"What does the Northwest have to do with the Northwest? Yes, it's impossible to get along. Can Japan fly to the Northwest?" Everyone didn't believe it and asked him to explain. Zhuo Fan felt a little noisy, so he simply opened the newspaper and pointed to three other news: "Look at these." Since everyone's attention was attracted by the withdrawal of the US military from the Philippines, no one paid attention to the news in the corner of the newspaper. It was not until his fingers pointed out that it was clear. One was the news that Soviet Foreign Minister Motolov visited Tokyo, the other was the news that the General Staff of the Chinese Defense Forces General Staff General Yue Peng was about to visit Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and other countries, and the last was the news that the British House of Commons supported the embargo on the Soviet Union.

Three messages. Each one contains a lot of information. Motolov's visit to Japan must be because Stalin wanted to strengthen Soviet-Japan relations to attack the Republic of China strategically. General Yue Peng visited Germany, while Poland and Eastern European countries counterattacked the Soviet Union and implemented counter-teams. The statement from the British House of Commons was undoubtedly equivalent to telling Moscow that China and Britain came together again on the issue of treating the Soviet Union.

In addition, the US military began to gradually withdraw from the Philippines, and for a moment everyone felt the depressing atmosphere of the storm.

"So, the Soviet Union will deal with us first because of fear of being surrounded in the northwest? Brother Zhuo Fan, when will they come out? Why are there another power outage? Damn, what are the power plants making trouble these days? Seven days a week, but there are power outages for five nights. Is it still not possible to read books?"

While the students were whining and talking nonstop, the library's electric light suddenly went out. Without fans, the spacious library became hot. Zhuo Fan was also puzzled. Because Hubei was the place where the president started and one of the most important industrial centers in the central and western regions, its development speed has been ahead of the country for decades. Not to mention that most of the province has been powered on, there are two thermal power plants and several small hydropower around Wuhan alone. The richest power can even support Jiangxi and Henan. Why are there always power outages recently?

Since there was no electricity, I couldn't read books. So Zhuo Fan smeared and packed the books and simply prepared to go back to the dormitory to sleep. But as soon as he walked to the door, he saw several classmates bringing a large box of candles. While he walked, he shouted: "Brothers! Let me tell you a big news. The president is here!"

"The Great Hero of Xinhai Chapter 720 Mengying (Five)" "Wow! Is it true or false?"

"No, I saw the presidential convoy driving into the vice school with my own eyes. The principal and Commander Qiu were still with me. I also saw Mr. Hua Luogeng."

"Wow. I haven't seen the president yet, let's see."

"What are you looking at? The Central Guard Division will definitely block the vice school. Forget it. Don't look at it. Since the president comes to the school, he will definitely come to review tomorrow. I'd better go back and have a good night's sleep. Maybe after review tomorrow, I will be selected to be the guard division."

"Just you, it's possible to get involved in the platoon leader of the newly formed 51st Infantry Division."

"Ha ha."

Amid the students' play, Yang Qiu had already come to the vice-chair of the National Defense University accompanied by Jiang Fangzhen and Qiu Wenbin. Unlike the main school, although the vice-chair of the National Defense University is in the same courtyard, it is far apart, and is separated by a thick wall in the middle. There is also barbed wire on the wall. Soldiers patrol day and night. Without a special identity card, you can't even think about entering.

The reason for the protection is so tight is that the vice-chair is actually a national defense technology and experimental center, with a large number of high-confidential laboratories and more than 2,000 national defense technicians, including electronic tube computers that attracted Yang Qiu to inspect.

Electronic tube computers are one of the core projects in the 3010 plan. It has been five years since the project was established at the end of 1929. What is an electronic computer? How to operate? How to write computing programs and other issues are still blank for the current scientific community, so after the project is established, Hua Luogeng and others were completely disgusted. Yang Qiu himself did not understand, but at least he knew more principles than them, so after the project is established, he wrote down some binary calculation methods and other things, and then searched the data machine to find out the scarce and pitiful computer-related information, regardless of whether it was useful or not, he stuffed the whole brain to the project team.

If geniuses are still geniuses, he originally thought that they would not be able to handle it within seven or eight years. Unexpectedly, Hua Luogeng and others, who were only 24 years old, relied on their solid mathematical skills to piece together the messy and disorderly information into a book, and made a prototype in just five years. After learning that they had recently started testing the machine, Yang Qiu immediately rushed from Beijing overnight to see what was going on.

The electronic tube computer is huge, so it is specially built to build a six-story building with two-story basement with a fully steel and concrete building to accommodate it and the technical team. After entering the computer experiment building located in the northwest corner, the first thing I saw was the two gold-patterned characters "Stars". This name was the first time an experimenter saw the dense electron tubes on the design drawings. He thought that after turning on the computer, the flash of the electronic tube would appear as many as stars, and was adopted because of its simple and similarity.

The space inside the building is very spacious, and three domestic central air conditioners are installed on the roof, so when you walk in, you immediately feel that the "Xinhai Hero" has completely disappeared. The Star One host is placed in the basement, and since the electronic tubes will emit a large amount of heat when operating. Therefore, there are two central air conditioners that are specifically responsible for dissipating heat for the host. In addition to the central air conditioner, there are several ventilators in the computer room to speed up the air circulation.

Star One is similar to the famous Eniac computer. Its volume is equivalent to 10 ordinary rooms, weighing 30 tons, and the overall cost is about 1 million yuan. There are more than 30 operating tables, nearly 20,000 vacuum tubes, thousands of crystal diodes and resistors, tens of thousands of capacitors, wires spread up to 132 kilometers, and a total of more than 600 switches. Using large tapes as storage, judging from previous trial runs, it has reached the design computing capability of 5,000 additions and subtractions or 400 multiplications and divisions per second.

The dense lines and switches are similar to Tianshu in the eyes of Jiang Fangzhen and others, but in the eyes of mathematicians such as Hua Luogeng, this computer is the most precious treasure. "We use the metal base electronic tube series developed by Global Communications Company." Hua Luogeng, calm in the epoch-making technology, took out a few electronic tubes and handed them to Yang Qiu, and said excitedly: "Compared with ordinary glass vacuum tubes, this electronic tube has metal wrinkles on the base, which has better heat dissipation performance and much smaller in size."

Hua Luogeng and the technicians explained the principles of computers while introducing them. Yang Qiu also shook hands with every technician he met for their efforts. To be honest, the appearance of Star One made him very excited. Although it was still very primitive, its appearance could solve the complex and time-consuming calculation work encountered in research such as aviation design and fluid mechanics, and it was larger and more important to promote national defense and high-tech technologies than atomic bombs and rockets.

The only pity is that this thing consumes too much power. Jiang Fangzhen thought of the power outage just now and asked: "Teacher Hua. Will there be a power outage in the city every time he turns on the power?"

Hua Luogeng smiled and said, "Principal Jiang, don't worry. Although Xingchen 1 consumes a lot of power, it is not as good as the city's concessions. Now this is mainly because of the fear of unstable voltage burning out the components inside. The dedicated lines of the power plant are already under construction and can be repaired in at most half a month."

No matter how much electricity consumed, Yang Qiucai could only allocate funds to build a power plant to supply. He now wanted to see the actual capabilities of Xingchen 1 and asked: "Wenbin, did you bring the things you prepared?"

Qiu Wenbin immediately asked someone to bring the latest artillery gun watch. Because the ballistics of each type of artillery are different, a detailed ballistic firepower watch, also known as a cannon watch, before equipment is equipped. Don't underestimate these cannon watches, it requires very precise calculations. Each of them requires at least 200 calculators to work overtime day and night with a hand-cranked computer to complete for several months. This is still a peaceful time. If it is in an emergency, the weapon manufacturer and the military need to work together to shorten the time by using several times or even dozens of times, so the cannon watch has always been regarded as one of the top secrets of the army. Of course, Yang "Qiu selected the cannon watch mainly because he remembered that Eniak also used the cannon watch to test it during the experiment.

Hua Luogeng took over the thick data of artillery and shells, dismissed irrelevant personnel and gave up space and ordered the operation to start.

When Xingchen 1 turned on, the temperature in the room increased significantly, and tens of thousands of electronic tubes arranged neatly in proportion emitted dazzling light. The female soldiers inspected from the communications soldiers carefully monitored the operation of each group of electronic tubes. As the operation table inputs calculation instructions, the flashing light of the electronic tubes was really similar to the twinkling stars in the night sky.

The high-power ventilator made a low whine, and everyone held their breath. Even Yang Qiu was sweating profusely, silently watching each step waiting for the result.

In just thirty minutes, the calculation results were stored in the tape box. The engineer took out the tape box and put it in a specially designed tape reader. A moment later, a cannon watch that required hundreds of calculators and took several months to complete was handed to Yang Qiu.

"Quick, give me the original form."

At this time, Yang Qiu was as excited as a child. He pulled out the calculated original table from Qiu Wenbin and carefully checked it line by line. After repeated checks, he found that the results were completely consistent, and he couldn't help but wave his arm excitedly: "By the way, it's completely accurate!"

"Very good!"

"Ha ha."

"Thank you! Thank you for your efforts. You have ushered in the era of electronic computers for your motherland and nation!"

Everyone jumped up excitedly, and Yang Qiu shook hands with every technician again. Even the female soldiers responsible for checking the operation of the electronic tube shook hands one by one to thank him. He could no longer describe his excitement in words. He knew much better than Hua Luogeng and others. The success of Star One will officially lay the foundation for China to become a world power.

Computer!

Transistors have also been included in the 3010 plan, and they also came up with primary products not long ago. Perhaps it won’t take long to see more advanced and faster computing transistor computers. When they are gradually applied to the scientific research field, what else can you imagine?!

The door to the electronic age was finally knocked open!… (To be continued.)
