Chapter 3084 Bullets in the Research Lab
After a moment of silence, Old Huang spoke up, "Since this gun is a computer, what about the bullets?"

"It can't be games, or maybe it's some kind of computing power."

As Mr. Huang spoke, Yang Xiaotao smiled.

"There are a lot of bullets."

Instantly, everyone became interested.

Yang Xiaotao started counting on his fingers as he began to speak.

"The first bullet, as Director Liu just mentioned, is one of their functions: computer computing and information processing."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Old Liu and asked, "If the computing efficiency of computers improves, would you want more computers?"

Old Liu smiled and said, "Not to mention the improved computing power, even now, we can't wait to use more computers for office work."

"This is much better than an abacus, and it can also store data, so we don't have to rely on punching holes to store and study it like before."

"It saves time and effort."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and nodded, "We'll allocate ten units for you to use in the meantime."

Old Liu laughed heartily, "That's wonderful."

Seeing this, others, especially Elder Song, couldn't help but speak up, "President Yang, the Chinese Academy of Sciences also makes great use of computers."

Yang Xiaotao immediately nodded, "Ten units, no more than that."

Old Song nodded hurriedly, "Ten units is just right."

The others laughed along.

However, Yang Xiaotao looked at Old Song and said, "However, this bullet cannot be made casually; we need your help."

Old Song wasn't surprised, because he had already realized it when Yang Xiaotao brought up the idea of ​​using computers as a weapon.

The original intention of the higher authorities in establishing the research institute was to coordinate domestic resources and concentrate efforts on key development areas.

Therefore, it is impossible to disperse resources within the research lab.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences cannot remain detached forever.

Of course, this is also an opportunity for them.

An opportunity to prove yourself and keep up with the development of the nine departments!
"Mr. Yang, you've had your eye on this for a while, haven't you?"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Of course, I've been eyeing your elite troops for a long time."

Everyone in the conference room laughed. Old Song shook his head and said, "I knew it. You had no good intentions."

"How many people have you skipped over to do over the years?"

This is quite true.

When the Ninth Department was researching computers, it drew some people from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

When the Ninth Department was researching satellites, they transferred some people, and even poached Wang Can from their team.

Even other talents from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have been poached.

Of course, this was something that Mr. Song tacitly approved.

Otherwise, if he doesn't release them, the treatment they receive from the Ninth Department is simply not enough.

"There's nothing I can do, even though you're the richest person."

"I'm robbing the rich to help the poor, too."

Old Song shook his head, "I think you're just sitting there dividing the spoils."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Yang Xiaotao then smiled at his teacher, Mr. Qian, and said, "Our foundation is still a bit weak. Many things are being taken the lead by young people, and we lack experience in some aspects."

"Teacher, you have to help me take a look this time, find a few more, and study them together."

Mr. Qian had not been drinking, but upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's words, he smiled and said, "Our Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry can also select some people."

After Qian finished speaking, Qin hurriedly stood up and said, "Well, we're short a few researchers for our aircraft research. We need to find a few."

Old Song gives Yang Xiaotao face because Yang Xiaotao knows how to use people and is good at it.

And frankly, I also admire Yang Xiaotao's ability to lead the Ninth Department.

He didn't give anyone else a friendly look.

As soon as Old Qin finished speaking, Old Song crossed his legs and said, "Old Qin, you wouldn't be able to use this talent well even if I gave it to you, so don't waste it."

Hearing this, Old Qin felt a surge of alcohol and was about to step forward to argue with him, but was stopped by Dean Deng, who said, "Old Qin, calm down, don't provoke him."

As if he had just thought of something, Old Qin snorted coldly and then sat back down in his chair.

Yang Xiaotao observed all of this but did not interfere. He simply nodded to Old Qian and then returned to the main topic, "In that case, the first bullet has been decided."

"The computer project team of the Ninth Computer Research Institute was in charge, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences transferred capable personnel to join."

Yang Xiaotao spoke solemnly, and Professor Song was equally serious: "Our Chinese Academy of Sciences agrees to make the arrangement."

Yang Xiaotao nodded in satisfaction, then continued, "This second bullet is what Old Wang was talking about, the chat tool."

Old Wang scratched his head. "Did I say that?"

Old Huang crossed his arms and said, "I think you're really drunk."

Old Wang immediately shut up, then looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Yes, it was me who said it."

Yang Xiaotao ignored him and continued, "Our Ninth Department is researching this chat tool, which will allow multiple people to chat simultaneously."

Yang Xiaotao gave a brief overview of the features of chat tools from later generations. Although it was a simple explanation, it was not simple in the eyes of everyone.

"If this is made, computers will have one more function, and the audience will be larger."

Mr. Qian affirmed first.

Old Wang immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, that way we won't have to gather in meetings for anything; we can just turn on the computer and get it done."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Our Ninth Department will organize manpower for development. Of course, if anyone wants to participate, we welcome them all."

At this point, he looked at everyone present.

However, even within the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there was no research on this new technology, so no one spoke up.

Yang Xiaotao was not surprised, and then continued, "The third bullet I prepared is an improved version of the Chinese operating system."

"We continue to study the computer's ability to process tables and graphs, which is essentially to facilitate office use."

Everyone present realized that this project was still beyond their control.

At the same time, I was also filled with emotion.

Even without the establishment of the research lab, the Ninth Department would probably still be progressing steadily.

In this light, it seems they actually hitched a ride on the coattails of the Ninth Department.

"The fourth bullet, the printer we're working on is pretty good."

Yang Xiaotao, oblivious to the expressions on everyone's faces, spoke again, "The existence of photocopiers allows text on one sheet of paper to be transferred to another."

"And the printer is connected to the computer, so that the text, tables and even pictures on the computer can be printed onto the paper."

"This can effectively improve office efficiency and enrich the functions of the computer."

There was silence in the conference room.

Their earlier remarks were premature; the preparations of the Nine Departments are truly meticulous, with each step linked to the next, and there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.

If this printer is ever made, it will be a phenomenal success. The copier we made earlier already caused a sensation.

Now, photocopiers have become a key export product.

Last year's revenue exceeded five billion US dollars.

This was because the patent rights were sold to France; otherwise, they would have earned even more.

Even so, the profits from selling ink cartridges each year are enough to make people envious.

If this printer were to be made again, it would probably be just as good as a photocopier.

The Nine Departments will create another source of revenue.

"Great, if we have a printer, the computer will definitely get going."

Old Wang immediately called out, then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "Mr. Yang, we're willing to help with the printer."

“We sent someone to learn how to use the photocopier last time, so they will definitely be able to help this time.”

No sooner had Old Wang finished speaking than someone retorted, "Old Wang, you're only doing this for personal gain. President Yang hasn't even said whether he needs anyone yet, and you can't help but jump out now?"

The speaker was Old Zhou from the Sixth Machine Department.

They didn't have the skills to develop chat tools, Chinese operating systems, or spreadsheets and graphing tools, so they didn't participate.

But we should always try to get this printer if we can.

After Old Zhou finished speaking, Old Zhao and the others also started clamoring, none of them wanting to miss this opportunity for development.

Yang Xiaotao took the initiative to speak, "Everyone."

"The research on the printer is nearing completion, so you don't need to worry about it."

"But production?"

"General Manager Yang, our Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry is absolutely capable of completing the mission."

Old Wang was the first to speak, and now that he was sober, he was quite articulate.

"Your Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry is impressive, but our Logistics Department is just as good."

Old Qin stood up and looked at Yang Xiaotao, "President Yang, our logistics department is fully capable of meeting your requirements."

"General Manager Yang, our Fifth Ministry of Machine Building is also confident in completing the mission."

As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, everyone immediately started arguing, with no one willing to give in.

Everyone knew in their hearts that this was definitely a piece of fat meat.

Yang Xiaotao was also willing to share the cost, since once the printer was launched on the market, it would be a great relief.

Whether spring returns, bringing warmth and blooming flowers, or storms rage and dark clouds loom, it all depends on whether the printer production can keep up with the sales speed.

That's why Yang Xiaotao was willing to find a few helpers.

I just didn't expect there to be so many helpers.

"so."

Seeing that the group was starting to argue, Yang Xiaotao quickly interrupted and said seriously, "In my opinion, this printer is just as important as the pager."

"We're all on the same side, there's no need to ruin our relationship."

"In this way, those who produce pagers will no longer be assigned the task of printing printers."

"Each task is handled by the Ninth Department and the Two Machine Departments, which allows us to organize production as quickly as possible."

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao had said so, everyone could only nod in agreement.

Then they waited for Yang Xiaotao to give instructions: "The pagers will be handled by the Third and Fourth Ministries."

"We need to set up a factory there as soon as possible, and the Fourth and Ninth Ministries will send workers and equipment to help."

Old Zhao grinned when he heard this, and had no objections.

Old Zhang nodded in satisfaction; Yang Xiaotao had reciprocated.

However, some of the others were not happy about it.

There was nothing they could do; there were too many wolves and not enough meat, and Yang Xiaotao was the one in charge, so no one else really could decide how to divide it.

"As for printers, the Seventh and Eighth Ministries of Machine Building were jointly responsible for them."

Old Wang's eyes widened upon hearing this, while Old Tao, representing the Eighth Ministry of Machinery Industry, looked utterly astonished.

Due to health reasons, the former senior official Yan retired to the second line. Xu Wei, who was originally regarded as his successor, resigned voluntarily for some unknown reason, which caught his superiors off guard.

So they transferred Tao Lao to the Eighth Ministry of Machinery Industry.

As for his original job, Dean Deng will take over it concurrently.

In any case, both of them have been working in this field for many years, so it doesn't matter who shoulders the burden.

Now that Yang Xiaotao has handed this piece of meat to the Eighth Ministry of Machine Building, it is very important for Tao Lao's position to remain stable.

"Okay, we will definitely complete the mission."

Mr. Tao responded with an affirmative tone.

As for Old Wang, he was overjoyed and kept nodding.

With this industry, you won't have to worry about making money.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao distribute the meat, those who hadn't gotten any were naturally resentful.

But no matter how unwilling they were, there was nothing they could do.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao said again, "This fifth bullet is a type of bank card, a savings card."

"This kind of thing has already appeared overseas. It's a magnetic stripe card that uses a computer to read the magnetic stripe information and numbers, and then find the corresponding account."

Yang Xiaotao briefly explained the situation with the bank card, and before everyone could react, he said to Elder Huang and Elder Liu, "If you two are interested, you can give it a try."

Old Huang is a witness to Yang Xiaotao's journey.

Since Yang Xiaotao said we could try, then we can.

He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, we, the First Ministry of Machine Building, will take this bullet."

Old Liu nodded, "We will do it as soon as possible."

Yang Xiaotao nodded; this was something he had always wanted to do.

Once it's developed, computers will be able to establish a firm foothold in the banking industry.

"As for the sixth bullet, which is also the last bullet, that's the end of the game."

"This goes without saying; it will be handled by our nine game project teams."

Yang Xiaotao mentioned the last bullet and then made arrangements.

After all, their nine games are truly unique in the domestic game design scene.

These six bullets also represent the nine plans for the new year.

The difference is that what was originally a nine-department collaboration has now become a multi-departmental collaboration.

Overall, it is more beneficial to the development of computers.

With the Ninth Division able to achieve its goals as soon as possible, Yang Xiaotao will be able to dedicate more energy to doing what he wants to do.
