Chang'an City, the current capital of Nanhua (formerly Annam Hanoi), is only one hundred kilometers away from the coastline. For this era, the safe distance should be enough, but in the future, Chang'an City will be facing attack methods such as ballistics, cruise missiles and supersonic fighter jets.
It appears to be a lack of confidence.
Nanhua has a vast territory and uneven regional economic development. The coastal areas have developed rapidly due to their unique geographical advantages, especially the Red River Basin Economic Zone centered on Chang'an City, including Taiyuan, Guangning, Beijiang, Haiphong, Haiyang, Taiping,
The total economic output of industrial center cities such as Thanh Hoa accounts for about one-tenth of the country's total.
In the vast inland areas, the economy is relatively lagging behind due to inconvenient transportation and other reasons.
The capital of a country has a very obvious economic driving effect on surrounding areas. An Yi was determined to promote the industrial and agricultural progress of backward areas by moving the capital, so he set his sights on everything in the hinterland of the Indochina Peninsula.
Vientiane is located on the banks of the Mekong River. To the north is the famous Zhongliao Plain. The lush forests form a natural green barrier. The south is composed of three obvious terrain zones, namely Handkerchief Mountain in the west, Kokai Plain in the middle and Kokai Plain in the east.
The Nakhon Ratchasima Plateau, and further south is the fertile Chao Phraya River Basin plain.
Vientiane City is located in the southern part of the Zhongliao Plain. This plain extends to nearly 100 kilometers south of the Mekong River. It covers an area of about 1.2 million hectares and has an average altitude of about 200 meters. The Mekong River, Nan'e River and Changshan Mountains flow down.
There are countless small streams flowing in the plain area, with a dense river network, fertile land, and spring-like weather all year round. Two to three crops of rice can be grown a year. Corn, potatoes, soybeans, mung beans, potatoes and other crops are grown in the surrounding mountains and plateau areas.
, enough to meet the needs of the city.
The old town of Vientiane stretches from west to east and north, with a wide riverside avenue running through the city. On both sides of the street, tall and short plants such as coconut, banana, betel nut, longan, phoenix, and acacia grow in an interlaced manner. The modern buildings in the city are hidden among the
In the midst of green trees and flowers, in the suburbs there are mostly wooden and bamboo buildings supported by several long pillars. The front and back of the house are often surrounded by trees or fences to form a large or small courtyard. Living in this kind of house
, feeling cool and comfortable.
Since the Anjiajun stationed in Vientiane in 1938, relying on the location advantages of the municipality, Vientiane has given priority to the development of industries such as electricity, electronics, metal smelting, building materials, daily necessities, food, medicine, and forestry. In 2042, Vientiane was officially renamed Luoyi.
Han culture has re-given its soul.
In the administrative division, the central government merged the twelve counties of Kokhai City on the south bank of the Mekong River and the three counties of Ban Pu, Pantong and Phang counties in the north of Udon Thani City into Luoyi City. The north and south are connected by six cross-river bridges.
Then Luoyi New City was built on the south bank of the Mekong River, the main body of which was the Han Palace City.
The Han Palace City was built after the Luoyang Palace of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is divided into three palaces: the South Palace, the North Palace, and the Yong'an Palace. They are connected to each other by multiple roads. Between the three palaces, there are the three palaces of Taiwei, Sikong, and Situ, as well as the Dragon Garden and Mingtang.
Taixue, Piyong, Lingtai and other building complexes are the places where the central government and the Government Affairs Council will work in the future.
The main hall of the South Palace is the Deyang Hall. The hall is three feet high and the majesty is one foot high. The hall is surrounded by a pool of water, with stone steps and red beams. The altar is made of patterned stone, the walls are decorated with colorful paintings, and the gold pillars are engraved with images of beautiful women.
The south gate of Dahan Palace is Kaiyang Gate and Pingcheng Gate. Outside the two gates is a 16-lane east-west road. To the south is Dahan Square, which can accommodate a gathering of millions of people. In the center of the square is the flag-raising platform. Flag-raising Tainan
The 500-meter square is the Monument to the National Heroes, followed in sequence by the Han Dynasty Hall of Heroes, the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the Hall of Reflection, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Hall. On both sides of the square are the Han Dynasty Museum, the Grand Theater, the Concert Hall and the Sports Center. The overall layout
Similar to Datang Square in Chang'an City.
The project was planned to start at the end of 1945, and it took three years to complete the construction. The capital relocation was completed at the end of 1948, and a grand military parade was held at Dahan Square on July 1 of the following year.
Handkerchief Mountain in the southwest of Luoyi City was turned into a military zone in early 1942. The Nanhua National Electronic Research Center was established in June of that year. The center was relocated and expanded from the Electronic Research Institute of the Xufu Academy of Sciences. It has jurisdiction over electronic computers, semiconductors
There are nine research and design institutes for materials, electron tubes, transistors, integrated circuits, radios, radars, radio and television equipment and special electronic equipment.
In early December, An Yi was pleased to hear that the National Electronics Research Center's semiconductor chip research had made breakthrough progress. After receiving the exact news of the glorious results of the devastating attack on the Japanese archipelago, An Yi temporarily put aside the ongoing war and worked around the situation.
, accompanied by Jiang Fengying and Audrey, set off for Luoyi, in the name of inspecting urban construction, to listen to the reports of experts and scholars from the research center in person.
The director of the Electronic Research Center was among the second group to study at the University of Cambridge in the UK in 2008. In the early 1930s, he went to study at Yale University and Princeton University in the United States, where he studied under electronic physics experts Professor Fleming, De Vries and Professor Shockley.
Dr. Li Houlin.
Dr. Li Houlin is thirty-nine years old this year. After returning to China in 2034, he entered the Syrian Institute of Scientific Research and Design and became a researcher at the Radar Research Institute. He mainly assisted Tesla Ochumenovsky, Taylor George and Geno Kuhn.
Engaged in radar research. Due to his talent in solid state and semiconductor physics, he was transferred to the Institute of Electronics in June 2015 as a chief researcher. He performed outstandingly and soon became a figure comparable to Professor Chen Jiaying, the founder of Chinese computer theory.
.
Because Dr. Li Houlin has a broad vision and his knowledge spans many fields, he became the person in charge of the semiconductor materials project in early 1937. In 1939, he served as the deputy director of the Institute of Electronics. In 1941, he was transferred to the Xufu Research and Design Institute to take charge of electronic research projects.
After the Electronic Research Center was established in 1942, he officially served as the director of the center, was awarded the rank of major general, and was fully responsible for the work of the research base.
Director Li Houlin accompanied An Yi to visit nine research and design institutes in sequence. When he came to the specially designed chip research institute that gathered experts and scholars in electronic computers, semiconductor materials, electron tubes, transistors, integrated circuits, etc., An Yi became excited and excited
stand up.
"As early as the summer of 1940, our chip research institute in Xufu, after several models of development, finally integrated the first eight-bit integrated circuit central processing unit. This chip integrated about 4,000 transistors.
Using a 16-bit address line, 64k memory can be addressed, and the operating frequency is 0.5mhz..."
An Yi nodded. Ding Molan had made a detailed report to him at that time, which he remembered deeply. According to the written report compiled by the scientists, An Yi had privately evaluated that the overall computing power of this chip was about the same as that of the previous Intel company in 1972.
The 8008 launched in 2008 is similar.
In his previous life, An Yi read computer enlightenment books when he was studying in a technical school, and he had a certain understanding of the development of computers. Through comparison, he believed that the memory addressing capability of that chip reached the level of the 8080 released by Intel in 1974.
level, of course, this is just about similar computing performance.
Compared with the thumb-sized 8008 and 8080, the processor chip produced by the Chip Research Institute at that time was the size of an entire palm, with an area more than ten times that of the 8008 and 8080, and power consumption and heat were also much higher.
An Yi knew that this was limited by the times and technology, so he didn’t ask for too much.
In any case, it was finally a usable eight-bit processor, which finally allowed it to see the dawn of personal computers. Although the computer made with this thing would definitely be large and expensive, An Yi, who made a fortune through the war,
, had just obtained a large amount of gold through the "Golden Peony Project", and had made a fortune in trade with the Allies and Axis Powers. There was no shortage of money, so this chip was named 14081, which was the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Anjia Army.
The first model of the finalized 8-bit chip was developed four years later.
The electronic computer designed in this way was named the Intelligent Brain Fourth Generation Computer. At the same time, printers and tape drives were added to the auxiliary support equipment, which greatly improved the level of automated office work for the South China government, military and scientific research institutions.
Li Houlin continued: "In addition to this processor that can be officially used, our chip research institute was already researching better processors at that time. There are two main research directions. One is to plug in more transistors.
One is a more powerful and smaller eight-bit processor, and the other is a 16-bit processor."
An Yi smiled and joked: "When I heard the good news, I gave bonuses to the R&D personnel of electronic-related projects, ranging from 1,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan. A total of more than 5 million was spent."
"Yes, we researchers were very happy at that time. You must know that so far, the average monthly salary of workers across the country is only 30 Chinese yuan, which is a huge wealth!" Chen Jiaying said cheerfully. The Chinese
The leading figure in computer science is forty-five years old this year. He is a typical research-oriented talent. He is not interested in an official career. He was the one who took the initiative to recommend Li Houlin as the vice president of the Xufu Research and Design Institute in charge of electronic research projects.
At present, in addition to serving as the dean of the Electronic Computer Research and Design Institute, he also serves as the director of the Chip Research Institute. However, he usually hands over management work to the executive deputy and concentrates all his energy on scientific research.
"Although it has been four years, I still remember it deeply!"
Professor Wang Xuanze, deputy director of the Chip Research Institute, said with emotion: "What makes researchers most happy is that the chairman promised that the relevant achievements and products of the Chip Research Institute will be officially disclosed to the outside world within fifteen years at the latest. At the same time, these research institutions
It will also be corporatized, and everyone will be able to get corresponding shares by then. Based on our predictions about future computer development and applications, once personal computers become popular, I am afraid that every researcher will become a 'ten thousand yuan household' or even a 'hundred thousand yuan household'
Hu', we can't help but work harder and harder."
Wang Xuanze is a graduate of the Department of Physics of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology. Although he has no experience studying abroad, as one of the first scientific researchers to assist overseas scientists in researching transistors, he has strong practical ability. At the same time, he also read a lot of domestic and foreign physics in addition to scientific research.
He has a monograph on electronics and his theoretical knowledge is no worse than that of returnees. Currently, he also serves as the director of the electronics department of the School of Physics of Luoyi University, which was established in 1940, which shows that his basic skills are solid.
"We just want to find ways to relieve the worries of scientific researchers, and we can't let the ridiculous thing happen that scientific researchers are inferior to selling tea eggs! But we have to keep it secret in the past few years, otherwise other countries will get our research results, which will last for hundreds of years.
The accumulation of science and technology, once its research is on the right track, it will not be long before it catches up with us, and the progress of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will be undermined!" An Yi shook his head, his words full of apologies.
Due to the need for technological blockade, all chips and integrated circuits put into practical use now are only products produced on a small scale by small factories. Although they are no longer at the level of hand-made in laboratories, the cost is still higher than that of later generations who would build large-scale wafer factories and have complete processes.
The products of the production line are much higher.
But then again, although the actual purchase quantity of new chips and computers is not large, due to the large population base of Nanhua and the large number of units that need to be used, the purchase volume still reaches 10,000 units, which reduces the cost to a certain extent. At the same time,
It laid the foundation for future large-scale industrial production.
An Yi was wearing a white coat that had been dusted. He followed Li Houlin and others to the operating table in the center of the laboratory.
"This is our new product!"
Li Houlin held up half a palm-sized chip, his face full of sacredness and solemnity: "In October this year, our chip research institute finally overcame many difficulties and produced two chips, 18082 and 18161. 18082 is an eight-digit number.
The ultimate version integrates 10,000 transistors, and its computing power is about 12 times that of 14081. 18161 is a brand new 16-bit processor, integrating 30,000 transistors. The size is still the same as half a palm."
According to the naming rules, 18082 is naturally the second model of the eight-bit chip eighteen years after An Jiajun founded the army. As for 18161, it corresponds to the first model of the 16-bit chip.
An Yi was overjoyed. He carefully stretched out his white-gloved hand and picked up the two chips. He came closer to watch them carefully, while Li Houlin introduced the relevant data of the chips.
The size of 18082 is significantly smaller than that of 14081. Although it is still much larger than 8008 and 8080, its performance has been significantly improved, and the cost is much lower. It has broad application prospects. Regarding 18082, the first thing that came to An Yi's mind
It is the Xiaobawang game console that I played when I was a child. However, with the current price of chips, even if it is made, no one will be able to afford it, so An Yi plans to wait a few years until production costs come down.
The performance of 18161 is obviously similar to the 8086 launched by Intel in June 1978, but its external address bus is not 20-bit, but directly 32-bit, addressing 4g memory. Of course, it is not available now.
There will be some 1g ram that can plug in four, but be prepared for a rainy day. An Yi doesn't want to waste his brains to set the real mode protection mode, what ems, xms, and umb, the researchers will solve them all at once.
Now that we have the chips to manufacture the Superboy game console and the Super Nintendo console, the subsequent research can be slowed down appropriately. So we thought about it again and again. An Yi took the initiative to suggest:
"Gong Li, Gong Chen, and Gong Wang, these two chips are all excellent. I think the chip research institute can postpone the development of subsequent 32-bit processors and devote all its energy to the improvement of these two processors. In my opinion, 8
The basic architecture of 16-bit and 16-bit remains unchanged, but we must study the expansion of transistors under this architecture, increase the instruction set and cache, and finally shrink the chip and reduce production costs.”
Li Houlin nodded with relief: "I think so too... At present, there are a total of 11,219 computers using 14081 in the country. We must seize the time to update the production line and mass-produce 18082 chips to replace the original ones. 14081 chip. The amount of this project is not large. It only requires the chip to be in place and the motherboard socket to be simply replaced. The computer performance of all units can be significantly improved.
"As for the 18161 chip, since it adopts a new 16-bit system, which is different from the eight-bit architecture, there is no need to rush into mass production. We can produce small quantities for research and testing and OS testing, and continue to study shrinking the chip and reducing the cost. cost work.”
"Very good, let's do it this way... Everyone, I hope we can see a new computer within a year!" An Yi did not hesitate to praise him, but also put forward new requirements.
Chen Jiaying smiled and said: "Chairman, our Computer Research Institute has developed a new computer with the 18161 chip as the core and a supporting operating system. Why don't you go and take a look now?"
An Yi was shocked when he heard this. Then he saw Chen Jiaying's confident expression and couldn't help but joked: "What, you're still ambushing me? Of course you have to go see something good!"
The computer laboratory is right next to the chip laboratory. The computer that soon appeared in front of An Yi gave him the illusion that reality and memory were intertwined.
The computer that appeared in front of you already had all the elements of a personal computer. It had a 14-inch 256-color electronic display screen, a 75-centimeter-high, 30-centimeter-wide vertical chassis equipped with two floppy disks, and in addition There are also a pair of speakers, a keyboard, a mouse, a joystick and a printer.
In addition, this computer with the chassis removed has obviously used a separate graphics card, and the network function has not been missed, it is built directly on the motherboard.
An Yi was pleasantly surprised. He went on the computer to demonstrate in person and found that the computer operating system has developed to the fourth version. Although it is still a text-based interface system, which has many inconveniences compared to the previous Windows, it is obviously already highly operable. , and can use the internal network to access the LAN database.
An Yi carefully read the relevant data and was amazed by the scientists' fantastic ideas. He also wondered what name to give this computer. If it were simply called Intelligent Brain Type 5 or Type 6, it would obviously not be conducive to The promotion of personal computers in the future will also give the outside world all kinds of illusions.
Thinking twice, An Yi splashed out and named this computer "Yanhuang". Yes, this is the Yanhuang I personal computer of this era. Its performance is similar to the Apple II personal computer launched by Apple in 1977, but the memory The upper limit can reach 64kb.
Of course, due to the limitations of large-scale production, the current price of the Yanhuang Model 1 is not at the level of a personal computer. According to Chen Jiaying's rough estimate, the fully equipped cost of this computer is 5,000 Chinese yuan, which is approximately equivalent to 2,500 US dollars - —Insert a word here, the current exchange rate between the Chinese dollar and the US dollar has increased from one dollar to eight Chinese dollars at the beginning of the issuance to the current one to two. In just seven years, the Chinese dollar has appreciated four times, and during the same period the National Government However, the legal currency issued has depreciated a hundred times, causing horrific inflation in the Kuomintang-controlled areas. The Chinese dollar has replaced legal currency and become the currency generally sought after by all classes in the country. A large amount of wealth continues to flow into Nanhua through invisible channels.
Currently, the selling price of a brand new car of Nanhua's own brands such as "Antu", "Venus", "Zhonghua" and "Longteng" is only one thousand Chinese yuan, which means that the price of this personal computer is equivalent to
The price of five cars. Of course, this is because this personal computer has just been newly assembled and is completely handmade. If it is produced according to standardization, the price will definitely come down in the future. And if we mass-produce hundreds of thousands or even
There are millions of units, and the price can be reduced further.
The Computer Research Institute estimates that more than 100,000 units can be mass-produced. The unit price can be reduced to less than 1,500 Chinese yuan. Although it is still higher than the price of a car, it is completely acceptable to some wealthy families. But if the volume is
However, it does not meet the confidentiality requirements.
In short, Nanhua currently has advanced technology. If it wants to keep it secret, it cannot be used on a large scale. If it wants to promote its application, it cannot keep it secret. The difference between personal computers and mainframe computers is that they need to be promoted on a large scale.
Entering thousands of households, there is no way to keep it secret.
An Yi thought about it for a long time, and finally decided not to mass-produce it for the time being. He would first solve the problem of chip and hardware costs. The time for mass production would be pushed back a few years, preferably to the early 1950s.
Therefore, in the end, only 5,000 units of this Yanhuang-1 personal computer were produced, which were exclusively used by various scientific research institutions. The confidentiality level was the highest and it was not really launched on the market.
Although many researchers said that they could buy it with their own money, they were not agreed and it was not really launched on the market until six years later. By this time, the internal model of Yanhuang Computer had been upgraded to the fifth generation, which was many times ahead of the world.
There is no fear of being chased at all.
There are exceptions to this. For example, Mr. Tesla, who is getting younger and younger as he lives, has a latest model of Yanhuang personal computer at home. In addition, An Yi naturally has the privilege to equip himself, his wife and children with one.
Of course, all computers are strictly protected and no leaks are allowed.
An Yi was very satisfied with the achievements of the Electronic Research Center. After the visit, he immediately allocated 10 million yuan to reward relevant scientists. When he calmed down, he began to think about how to use the new results to make money. After thinking about it, since
It won't take long for the popularization of personal computers, and some confidential scientific research results can be announced to the outside world. So after An Yi finished his inspection of Luoyi and returned to the Longtan base camp of Xuanxiang City, he immediately issued an order to transfer the Computer Research Institute to the public.
The initial results, namely the vacuum tube computer, were publicly sold.
You must know that in this time and space, due to the Japanese bombing of the United States, the eniac project originally planned to start in 2003 has been postponed indefinitely. However, according to the scientific research strength of the Americans, once they recover, independent research and development will be very fast.
Therefore, An Yi decided to register a patent first to combat the development of Americans in computers.
As a result, those vacuum tube computers that had long been retired and sealed were taken out, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs publicly contacted major European and American research institutions to prepare for the auction.
Although we are still in the war years, the leaders of various countries are very aware of the huge role of a computer with a speed of tens of thousands of calculations per second, and they have sent people to Chang'an City to participate in the auction. Although the Germans are in serious danger on all fronts,
It was an unfavorable situation, but this did not prevent him from becoming the largest buyer, purchasing more than 900 tube computers at once.
The Americans did not have too much entanglement, because Nanhua Secret sold it the most powerful machine, which had 80,000 vacuum tubes and an astonishing calculation speed of 100,000 times per second. The Americans generously prescribed
A sky-high price of fifteen million dollars.
In the end, the Americans bought more than 300 computers and the British bought more than 200 computers. In just half a month, more than 1,400 retired and sealed vacuum tube computers were sold, making a total profit.
With 600 million U.S. dollars, the funds paid for the research institute were instantly recouped.
Some people may ask, how can it be so expensive? Even a B-29 bomber now only costs 630,000 US dollars. Can a computer be as good as two B-29s? But the reality is like this. If you don’t buy it, others will.
If you want to buy, things are rare and expensive, and technical shortcomings cannot be measured by money. If you buy it now, you can use it, which will greatly enhance your military and scientific research strength. After the war, you can also follow the same example to conduct research and imitation, so as not to be
It can be said to be worth a thousand things if others put it aside too much!
Of course, An Yi also knows that after countries buy it and use it, they will soon start to imitate it, but he doesn't care too much. Due to patent barriers, other countries have to pay patent royalties as long as they produce similar products. As for whether they can collect
Once the money is obtained, it will depend on how much say the Nanhua government will have in the international community in the future.
The truth is only within the range of the cannon. In the same way, if a country is strong, it will not be afraid of others playing hooligans, because An Yi has many ways to make those who do not follow the rules obedient!
Finally, due to the advancement of chip technology, An Yi also ordered the launch of a far-reaching plan - with the advent of laser and 16-bit processor chips, An Yi invested 100 million yuan in the Nanhua National Electronic Research Institute in Luoyi.
The center established a brand new laboratory - automatic control laboratory.
The first scientific research task this laboratory accepted after its establishment was to develop laser digital control machine tools, followed by automated production lines and production processes.
Just when An Yi was distracted by scientific research, the intelligence agency received bad news from the Fujian and Zhejiang regions. The Japanese army carried out a biological and chemical weapons attack in the southeastern coastal areas of China, affecting approximately 300,000 to 400,000 people.
