Riding the wind of rebirth

"But there is a prerequisite for this type of negotiation, which is that the union can use strikes to create pressure on companies or factories as a powerful means of bargaining."

“All other negotiations, legal rights protection, and even political participation are based on this premise.” Li Laoer said, “But this time, the Music Industry Union seems unable to threaten the Digital Music Alliance in this regard?”

“So this problem is easy to solve.” Li Laosan said: “Most music practitioners want to make money through digital music platforms. As long as the Digital Alliance can do this, it should be able to control the practitioners.”

"In fact, there are many special aspects of the digital music industry, which is different from the traditional industry." Li Laoer said: "In the past, musicians had to release their works through record companies or be recommended by radio stations in order to have a chance to be known by the public. Now, through the Digital Alliance Music Platform, grassroots music producers also have equal opportunities to compete. This is undoubtedly of great significance to the promotion of the world music industry. You can completely use this to win over the majority of practitioners and counter the union."

"The reason is very simple." Li Laosan spread his hands and said, "Because you have done what even the trade union has not been able to do. You have guaranteed the right of all practitioners to have their voices heard by the public, and you have also guaranteed the public's right to hear more original works and participate in judging them."

"Yes, the mass line is a magic weapon." Zhou Zhi clapped his hands together: "There is another group of people, that is the vast number of digital music users, music fans!"

"The capitalists' faces are so abominable." Lin Wanqiu hugged Mai Xiaomiao, shook her head and laughed, "None of them is easy to deal with..."

The upper level responded very quickly, and Zhou Zhi and his colleagues received a reply early the next morning, agreeing to the "Sky-Star-Ground Network Integrated Communication Plan", also known as the Star Engine Plan.

At the same time, another code is added, that is, the ground station part, in addition to the mobile network, it is also related to the backbone nodes, and the nodes are connected by optical fiber.

This is another big topic, an exciting one.

Thanks to the complex international situation in the 1970s, in order to avoid the dilemma of restricted external communications, the country decided to start developing fiber-optic communication technology, and successfully developed the first fiber-optic transmission system in 1974.

After entering the 1980s, China developed domestic optical fiber preform rods and built an optical fiber communication network, achieving initial coverage of domestic optical fiber communications!

In 1992, China's fiber-optic communication network ushered in its first large-scale construction, and the first all-fiber-optic communication trunk line was put into use, marking the beginning of the large-scale commercial use of fiber-optic communication networks.

It can be said that China's fiber optic technology has never lagged behind, especially in network deployment and networking, and is even ahead of the pace of the international communications industry.

For example, in 90, we completed the localization of PCVD equipment, in 94, we became the first country in the world to mass-produce optical isolators, in 95, the Post and Telecommunications Industry Headquarters organized an SDH campaign, and now the high-capacity and high-speed PHD transmission network has completed trial production.

Originally, due to insufficient funds, the country's plan was to put the first domestically-produced PDH transmission network into use by 98. Now that a few good people have come, the plan will be brought forward by one to one and a half years. We will strive to complete the needs of the Clover Group this year and start accepting orders from Yangtze Communications next year.

"Our fiber optic switches have developed to this point?" When Zhou Zhi heard the news, his face turned grim and he looked like he wanted to cry.

"Elbow, what's with that expression on your face?" Old Yu looked at Zhou Zhi and was a little unhappy: "The country's telecommunications industry has been developing well in this area, why do you still look a little unhappy?"

Zhou Zhi grabbed Elder Yu's hand and said, "Elder Yu, we can replace the computing matrix with a fiber optic switching device!" "Ah? Ah! That's right!" Elder Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Mai Xiaomiao: "Xiao Miao, what do you think?"

"The computing power matrix itself is a neuron-like hierarchical statistical computing system connected by a network," said Mai Xiaomiao. "It consists of two parts: one is the neuron-like computing power nodes, and the other is the data transmission network connecting these nodes."

“Therefore, the basic factors that affect its performance are mainly reflected in these two aspects: one is the computing speed of the computing power node, and the other is the transmission speed of the network.”

"Of course there are other upper-level factors, such as anti-interference, matrix scale, model advancement, etc...."

The characteristics of optical fiber are strong anti-interference, large capacity, and high speed. If the current advanced optical fiber switching system can replace conventional switches, the capacity of the computing power matrix will be qualitatively improved.

Mr. Yu immediately said to Academician Zhang Shuqiu: "Hurry up and call Lao Wu and ask him to come over. Tell him there is something important."

After a while, Academician Zhang came back and said with a cheerful smile: "Young people are still smart. It seems that we old guys need to change our minds. We can't always focus on our own little piece of land. We need to visit each other's disciplines more often."

Old Yu smiled and said, "I am even happier about Elbow's attitude towards our domestically produced equipment. He is full of confidence. Humph! He is much better than some people in our system!"

There is a story behind this. Zhou Zhi immediately became interested: "Mr. Yu, are you referring to..."

Mr. Yu heaved a sigh of relief: "In the 1980s, our domestic program-controlled exchange market was dominated by seven countries and eight systems, and was tightly controlled by others. In order to break this situation, China Post and Telecommunications Industry Corporation commissioned the PLA Information Engineering College to jointly launch a major project - the development of large-scale digital program-controlled exchanges."

"After a series of discussions, in 1989, the computer distributed architecture proposed by Lao Wu's team from the School of Engineering stood out, and they directly upgraded the basic requirement of 2,000 ports to a breakthrough research work of 10,000-port digital program-controlled switching system."

"The following year, the Post and Telecommunications Corporation invested 600 million yuan and commissioned Lao Wu to conduct a trial production of a 10,000-line digital program-controlled exchange. By June 1991, the team had successfully developed a prototype of a 10,000-line large-scale program-controlled digital exchange."

"However, the authorities were cautious about its promotion, which resulted in the prototype not being able to get a booth when it was exhibited in the capital." Lao Yu is still very angry when he talks about this.

"Afterwards, the college submitted an internal report to Xinhua News Agency, reflecting the development of the 10,000-port switch. Afterwards, the front page of Xinhua News Agency published Zou's instructions on the successful development of the 10,000-port switch, requiring relevant departments to study its future development."

"In order to implement the instructions, the State Council held a coordination meeting. The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics jointly ordered the Post and Telecommunications Industry Corporation and the Information Engineering College to jointly develop and promote the production and application of 10,000-port switches. At the same time, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications gathered technical experts to conduct comprehensive and strict testing of the products."

"At the same time, the Post and Telecommunications Industry Corporation decided to transfer the research prototype to the development of production prototypes, in order to achieve industrialization and commercialization as soon as possible. For this purpose, the Luoyang Telephone Equipment Factory carried out finalized production. At the same time, national authoritative experts formed an 'out-of-hospital support group' in Luoyang to jointly tackle difficulties and provide strong technical support for the production of 10,000-port switches."
