Chapter 3047 Computers, Changing the Future
P.S.: Wishing everyone all your wishes come true, a happy family reunion, instant success, and all the best!
The Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry.

Mr. Wang stood in front of Mr. Qian's desk, looking at the text on the screen, his face full of excitement.

As for Mr. Qian, he is currently acting as Mr. Wang's "hot commodity".

"Just write it. Who told you to be in the logistics department?"

After Mr. Wang finished speaking, Mr. Qian helplessly created a new document, then identified himself by writing, "Who told you to be from the logistics department?" and saved it.

Seeing that everything was finished, Mr. Wang's eyes remained fixed on the computer in front of him.

This computer was specially given to them by the Ninth Department, or more precisely, to Mr. Qian.

Of course, Qian Lao was also from the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, so it's not wrong to say that he was given to the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

That's right, there's only one, which made Old Wang a little unhappy.

Fortunately, he was given one machine to each of the other machine departments, which gave him some balance.

Even so, looking at the computers in front of him, Mr. Wang still felt that one was simply not enough.

"It would be great if there were more of these."

While Mr. Wang sighed, Mr. Qian opened a new document and began working on it.

He felt that typing on this was much more convenient than writing by hand.

Some ideas can be written down and reorganized, and the computer itself has a certain computing power, which can simulate data processing, etc.

More importantly, this computer uses integrated circuits, which improves performance and increases storage capacity.

This allows him to store some of his documents efficiently, without having to keep multiple notebooks.

Seeing that Mr. Qian was ignoring him and secretly playing computer games, Mr. Wang felt awkward.

Then, seeing Mr. Qian skillfully typing out each word, he asked curiously, "Mr. Qian, how did you learn to type? Teach me!"

Mr. Qian paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I haven't practiced it either, but you just need to write it according to the pinyin letters."

"Pressing those letters will turn it into pinyin, with the characters below. It's very simple."

But after listening to this, Old Wang wiggled his fingers a couple of times and still felt it was unreliable.

"Never mind, I'll still contact you if I need anything."

"However, the advent of computers has truly changed a lot."

Old Wang's words were heartfelt.

Mr. Qian nodded, "That's right. In the past, we only thought about making computers bigger, better, and faster."

"But they overlooked the fact that there are so many functions that can be developed for this computer."

"Looking back now, it feels like a fantasy."

Old Wang touched his short hair, then took a breath and asked, "Tell me, how did your apprentice come up with these functions?"

"This person has such a wildly imaginative mind!"

Mr. Qian smiled and said, "You'll have to ask him about that."

Old Wang snorted coldly, "To be honest, they said they were treating us to lunch today, but it turned out to be a joke. I'd be a fool to go next time."

"Boss, boss, phone call."

Just then, the secretary's voice came from outside the office, and Mr. Wang hurriedly pushed open the door and went out.

"who?"

"Old Qin from the logistics department."

"Ha, you type so slowly, and you still dare to come knocking on my door!"

After saying that, he rushed to the office.

Nine departments, research institutes.

When Yang Xiaotao arrived at the game console research institute, Wang Kun and Liu Yongqiang were sitting in front of the computer, pointing and gesturing incessantly.

Only after being reminded by those around them did the two notice Yang Xiaotao walking over.

"Minister Yang!"

The two stood up, and Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, "No need to be polite!"

Then, seeing a string of V language on the computer, he couldn't help but ask, "So, can this game be ported to the computer?"

Both of them gave a wry smile upon hearing this.

"Minister Yang, this is completely different from game consoles and cartridge game consoles!"

Wang Kun spoke first, then pointed to a series of VIE languages on the computer screen, "Although we have grasped the design concept of VIE languages, we need to make comprehensive additions and modifications when editing the game."

"Now that I've finished making this Red Alert game, I feel like I can start writing a whole new game language."

Yang Xiaotao laughed and said, "If you guys really manage to write a game language, I'll reward your department with 10,000 yuan."

"What?"

Sample Wang Kun was just joking, and the people at the game research institute also took it as a joke. After all, Yang Bu wasn't very old, and they could chat together when they got together.

But to their surprise, Yang Xiaotao actually said it.

They didn't think Yang Xiaotao was joking.

Because Yang Xiaotao had fulfilled every single promise he had ever made.

If they say it's 10,000, then if they actually achieve it, then it will definitely be 10,000.

Consider that their research institute, including the external staff who came to help, has less than thirty people. Ten thousand yuan would be more than three hundred yuan per person.

This is equivalent to several months' salary.

Instantly, everyone felt full of energy, their previous boredom vanished, and they felt that as long as they persevered, they would get the money.

"Alright, stop being so shocked."

"Tell me about the progress."

Yang Xiaotao patted Wang Kun on the shoulder, and the latter quickly laughed, "We have now completed the planning of two maps."

“You said that as long as three maps are completed, that will be enough. We are designing the third map.”

"They are three maps: a snowy landscape, an island-seizing battle, and the Civil War."

At this point, Yang Xiaotao smiled.

These three maps represent the Alliance region in the first map, the United States region in the second map, and the Japanese island in the third map.

Moreover, the map is very similar to the layout of the Japanese islands in reality.

Of course, it's just a game, so I won't actually say it out loud.

"We designed eight characters to represent eight different factions."

"The weapons team has completed the current twenty-three weapons."

"The equipment team has completed twelve types of buildings."

At this point, Liu Yongqiang asked timidly, "Commander Yang, our soldiers' basic combat strength is three, and the aircraft's basic strength is ten. Isn't that a bit too strong?"

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, "Isn't this what we should do?" "Let's do it this way."

Liu Yongqiang stopped talking.

Anyway, the game was developed in-house, so if anyone has a problem with it, then they shouldn't play it.

After listening, Yang Xiaotao nodded in satisfaction.

"Finish it as soon as possible, and make the graphics as good as possible. We're counting on this game to be a big seller."

"be quick."

Yang Xiaotao gave him another instruction, and Wang Kun and Liu Yongqiang immediately nodded and watched Yang Xiaotao leave.

After leaving the game console research institute, Yang Xiaotao went to the printer research institute.

The previous photocopiers had been handed over to the factory for production, and the original photocopier research institute of the research institute successfully upgraded its industry, transforming from a photocopier into a photocopier and printer all-in-one machine.

Xu Pengcheng was sitting in a chair in the research institute, lost in thought. He paused for a moment when Yang Xiaotao walked in, then stood up from his chair.

"You look like you're spacing out, what are you thinking about?"

Yang Xiaotao took out a cigarette again, and Xu Pengcheng smiled and lit it for Yang Xiaotao with a match.

"Minister Yang, do you think there will still be printers in the future?"

"These computers can now transfer files between each other; they can all be shared within this local area network. We..."

"Do we still need this printer?"

Yang Xiaotao immediately understood what Xu Pengcheng meant.

This is a setback.

Moreover, it was hit by the rapid pace of technological development.

For a moment, I couldn't find the way forward.

"Old Xu, do you think there's no market for printers anymore?"

Do you feel like you've lost your motivation to move forward?

Xu Pengcheng smoked his cigarette without saying a word, tacitly acknowledging Yang Xiaotao's guess.

Then Yang Xiaotao kept laughing, while Xu Pengcheng looked embarrassed.

After a long silence, Yang Xiaotao finally spoke, "What do you think of computers these days?"

"very good!"

Xu Pengcheng replied without hesitation.

"It's better than the Ninth Machine No. 2."

"Yes, much better. With the large screen, the Wei language you invented, and the Chinese operating system we created, everything combined makes the Dawn One computer truly unique."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, that's right. Dawn is the guiding star that pioneered computer civilization. In the future, we will develop even better computers."

Do you think we can do it?

Xu Pengcheng nodded again in affirmation, "I have no doubt about that."

"Especially under your leadership!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled, then pointed to Dawn One and said, "Since computers like this are constantly being developed, replaced, and improved."

"And the future belongs to the age of computers."

"If that's the case, why can't your printers keep up with the times and continuously develop and improve?"

Xu Pengcheng's eyes lit up.

Yang Xiaotao continued, "You just asked me if printers will be phased out, and I can tell you definitively."

"As long as human books are not eliminated, as long as the civilization of written language continues, the printer will have its purpose."

"The difference is that we need printers that can keep up with the times."

"So, you understand now?"

Xu Pengcheng stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray. The confusion in his eyes was gone, replaced by his previous composure and confidence.

"Minister Yang, don't worry, I know what to do."

Xu Pengcheng regained his fighting spirit, and Yang Xiaotao was secretly pleased.

"The game console is scheduled to be completed before the National Day holiday, and it will be launched together with the computer and presented to the public. I hope to see the printer by then."

"Minister Yang, two months. We only need two months."

Xu Pengcheng clenched his fist and spoke forcefully, setting a goal in his mind to complete the task within a month.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."

"However, you must take good care of your health. We must never let Teacher Wang's tragedy happen again."

"Understood, thank you for your concern, Director Yang."

Xu Pengcheng expressed his sincere gratitude, and Yang Xiaotao nodded before leaving the research institute.

Then, Xu Pengcheng's urging voice came from behind, and at that moment, the once quiet printer research institute erupted in excitement.

After walking around, Yang Xiaotao finally sat down in Old Ye's office.

"You've been focusing all your energy on computers lately; you haven't been seen doing anything else."

Old Ye picked up the kettle and refilled Yang Xiaotao's cup with water. Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "There's nothing I can do. I'm all alone; I can't be in two places at once. I guess the comrades will have to keep working!"

"By the way, how's the research on solar cells and semiconductors going?"

"And what about lithium batteries? How's the research going over there?"

Yang Xiaotao asked two questions in a row, but Old Ye just kept smiling.

Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaotao laughed.

"I'm starting to feel that it's not good to control everything."

"We must give our comrades room to express themselves!"

Yang Xiaotao took a sip of tea and muttered to himself.

Old Ye continued to help refill the water, but remained silent.

"Perhaps, as long as we grasp the general direction, we'll be fine."

Yang Xiaotao said it again, and Old Ye's smile became even brighter.

"It's good that you can think of these things. If you try to grasp everything, you'll easily miss out on everything."

"Focus on the key points; everything else is unimportant."
