The train driver in the courtyard

When Jia Zhang saw Li Aiguo, she was furious and pointed at his nose and cursed: "Did you sue my wife? How could you be so mean!"

Jia Dongxu yelled at the top of his lungs: "Oh my god, I'm going to be arrested. Li Aiguo, you bastard."

The entrance to the compound was instantly surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

Hey, little wife of the Liu family, your steamed buns have been stolen by someone else.

The roar of laughter and the sound of ears slapping mixed together, creating a constant din.

Li Aiguo was pushing his bicycle when he suddenly asked, "Do you have hemorrhoids in your mouth? Do you spit out shit and pus when you open your mouth?"

"You scolded me?" Jia Zhang didn't react for a moment and pointed at her nose: "Are you scolding me?"

"Oh, congratulations, you already have the most basic medical knowledge." Li Aiguo tied up his bicycle and bowed to Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang's face turned from red to white, then to green, and finally to yellow, just like a red and green traffic light.

"I'm reminding you, reminding you. If you are sick, go see a doctor immediately and don't pollute the environment of the compound." Li Aiguo pointed in the direction of the hospital: "Go quickly, or the anorectal department will be closed if you are late."

Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu were so stunned that they didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Even if there is something wrong with your mouth, you can't go to the anorectal department for treatment, right?

Liu Haizhong suddenly raised his hand: "Aiguo, the anorectal department doesn't get off work until 9:30 in the evening."

Li Aiguo looked at Liu Haizhong: "."

Xu Damao looked at Liu Haizhong: "."

Zhang Gangzhu looked at Liu Haizhong: "."

They all had strange expressions on their faces.

Liu Haizhong remembered the incident of the eel entering the leather swallow, his face darkened a little and he put down his hand awkwardly.

"I just mean well. Oops, I forgot that your second aunt is waiting for me to go back and cook." He shrank his neck, hummed a little tune, and walked away as if nothing had happened.

Secretary Zhang's horizons were broadened today. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva. There were really so many strange things in this courtyard.

"Aiguo, Director Wang is still waiting. I'll take him away first."

"Oh my god!"

While Jia Dongxu was pretending to cry, Jia Zhang was taken away by Director Zhang.

Li Aiguo pushed his bicycle inside, and Xu Damao came up to him and gave him a thumbs up: "Brother Aiguo, it's you who has to do it. You don't know that I have been bullied by the Jia family recently because you haven't been at home."

"Well, from now on, I will be the only one who can bully you."

After the words fell, Xu Damao felt a strange emotion in his heart, and looked at Li Aiguo in disbelief: "Aiguo, you...you."

His face flushed, flushed.

Li Aiguo kicked him out: "Why are you blushing?"

*****
The night was quiet.

After dinner, Li Aiguo was preparing to study the drawings of 4004 when Chen Xueru came out of the room and whispered, "Hongsheng fell asleep."

"Well."

Chen Xueru walked behind Li Aiguo, her face slightly red: "I took a hot bath today and used soap. You can smell it."

"Well."

Chen Xueru looked a little disappointed. She pursed her lips and pulled up the cheongsam on her body: "This is the cheongsam my father just made for me. Look at the height of the slit."

"Well!"

"Nuuu! Nuuu you big-headed ghost. Stop reading and come into the house with me to make a baby!"

Miss Chen couldn't bear it any longer, she rushed over to close the drawing, grabbed Li Aiguo's arm and pushed him onto the bed.

"Oh, a female bandit!" Li Aiguo pretended to be afraid.

"Hehehe!" Miss Chen was immersed in the role-playing, pinching her orchid fingers: "How dare you, will you confess?"

"I would rather die than surrender!"

"Then I am seducing!"

"."

Li Aiguo was lying on the bed, lying in a big character shape.

Miss Chen turned around while pulling her cheongsam:

It was the first time that Li Aiguo knew that traditional dance could be combined with ballet and mixed with yoga moves.

Sure enough, the traditional dance is more exciting after the reform!
The night is getting darker.

*****
Just when Li Aiguo was indulging in women, a special meeting was being held in the Beijing Computing Institute.

The meeting was of a high standard and was chaired by Mr. Guo, President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The person reporting on the work was Professor Wang Shu, the new director of the Beijing Institute of Computing Technology.

"At present, the development of the 107 vacuum tube computer has been completed by %. It can be estimated that in another two years, the research and development work should be completed."

"Two years is too long. I'll only give you ten months." Mr. Guo slapped the table with a gloomy face.

Professor Wang Shu was shocked and said quickly, "Ten months? Dean, we can catch up with other progress, but we are still short of more than 20,000 electron tubes needed for the computer. We don't have enough time."

"I will personally discuss the electron tube issue with the state-owned 774 Factory. In addition, Chengdu 719 Factory has also started production and can transfer production capacity here."

Mr. Guo narrowed his eyes and said, "I require you to complete the 107 aircraft before next year's National Day as a gift to our great motherland on its birthday."

Upon hearing this, Professor Wang Shu and the leaders of the Institute of Computing Technology understood what was going on.

Mr. Guo’s biggest hobby is to do these superficial things.

But they had no way to refuse. After all, the development of the 107 aircraft had now become a political task.

Dean Guo saw that the leaders had different expressions, so he knocked on the table and reminded them: "Don't forget, in addition to our Institute of Computing Technology, there is also the Red Star Computer Research Institute in China.

I learned from the ministry that the Red Star Computing Institute has already started a project to research microprocessors. If they take the lead, our institute will be in a passive position. "

As he spoke, his face became serious: "The Beijing Computing Institute and the Red Star Computing Institute are two independent research institutes.

From now on, all exchange activities with the Red Star Computing Institute must be applied to the institute.

This exchange includes personnel exchange and equipment exchange.”

His meaning was very clear. He wanted to cut off the Beijing Computing Institute's help to the Red Star Computing Institute from the root.

You know, the Red Star Computing Institute was established not long ago.

Even if there are some experts, they are far inferior to the leader in the domestic computer field - the Beijing Computing Technology Institute.

In fact, after the project of the Red Star Computing Institute was launched, the Beijing Computing Institute provided a lot of technical materials thanks to the relationship with the old director Xia Zhongsu.

"Dean, the Red Star Computing Institute is developing microprocessors. Regardless of whether it can be successful, it is also contributing to the country's scientific research and domestic computer research. There is no need for us to confront each other, right?"

Although Professor Wang Shu did not agree with Li Aiguo's minicomputer concept, he was immediately dissatisfied when he saw that President Guo wanted to isolate the Red Star Computing Institute.

"Old Wang, people should not just focus on technology, they should see the big picture!"

Dean Guo frowned slightly. After Director Xia Zhongsu jumped ship, he originally wanted to choose Deputy Director Chen, who was in charge of political work, as the director of the Beijing Computing Institute.

However, Vice President Zhang and researchers from the Beijing Institute of Computing Technology opposed the idea, so they had to settle for the second best and choose this old professor who had a long-standing reputation in academic research.

If we had insisted on our opinion and let Deputy Director Chen take over as the director, there wouldn't be so much trouble.

Thinking of this, Director Guo gave Deputy Director Chen a wink.

Deputy Director Chen, wearing a black Zhongshan suit with a pen in his chest pocket, stood up and said, "Director Wang, I know you have a good relationship with Director Xia.

In fact, I also admire Xia's spirit of not fearing difficulties, but our Beijing Institute of Computing has not yet completed its research and development tasks, so we should focus on the 107 machine. "

The meaning is very clear. If you continue to help the Red Star Computing Institute, you will be aiding the enemy and will sabotage the development of the 107 machine.

Seeing this situation, Professor Wang Shu could only sigh helplessly.

Subsequently, President Guo issued several regulations.

Interrupt all communication with the Red Star Computing Institute.

Four computing institutes under the Institute of Computing Technology, namely the North China Institute, the East China Institute, the Central South Institute and the Liaoning Institute, abandoned their ongoing projects.

Talented researchers were transferred to Beijing to support the research and development of the 107 vacuum tube computer.

The 738 factory was notified to temporarily suspend the production of the 103 aircraft that was supposed to be delivered to the railway department, and to transfer personnel to the research and development of the 107 aircraft.

The first few items were internal affairs of the Academy of Sciences, and Professor Wang Shu had no way to object, but the last one involved cooperation with the railway department.

In particular, the Ministry of Railways has recently been increasing speed on a large scale and urgently needs 103 locomotives to cooperate with the automatic railway signal system, but now the production has been suspended.

"It's not that production is interrupted, but delivery is delayed." Director Guo explained with narrowed eyes.

"Dean, we have reached an agreement with the railway department. Isn't this inappropriate?" Professor Wang Shu raised his hand.

Dean Guo leaned back and said, "We have no choice. After all, we are short of staff. If the Red Star Computing Institute hadn't transferred people from us, we wouldn't be without manpower to take charge of the production of the 103 machine."

This statement seems flawless.

But everyone knows that this is just an excuse.

Professor Wang Shu was still trying to persuade him, but then Deputy Director Chen suddenly applauded: "We warmly support the decision of our superiors!"

The leaders were stunned for a moment, and then sparse applause broke out at the scene.

Professor Wang Shu could only sigh.

President Guo only named a few directly affiliated research institutes at the meeting.

Judging from his personality, I'm afraid he will continue to contact other domestic research institutes and state-owned factories.

Now the Academy of Sciences has made such a big fuss to deal with the Red Star Computing Institute. The Red Star Computing Institute is in danger!

After the meeting.

Professor Wang Shu returned to his office, lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. After thinking for a while, he hung up the phone with Xia Zhongsu.

The next day, Li Aiguo rode his bicycle to the Red Star Computing Institute early in the morning. As soon as he entered the office, he received the news.

"Stop communicating with the two institutes." Li Aiguo took a sip of tea from the enamel pot. "We didn't expect to get help from the Beijing Institute of Computing Technology."

"If it was just the Beijing Computing Institute, it would be fine." Professor Xia Zhongsu's face was serious. "It is said that the state-owned 774 Factory, 719 Factory, Magic City Radio Factory, North China No. 107 Institute and several other research institutes and factories have also been contacted by relevant leaders and asked to fully cooperate with the development of the machine." As he spoke, he lowered his voice: "This is an open matter. According to an old friend of mine, the other party privately asked these research institutes and factories not to cooperate with our Red Star Computing Institute."

Hiss. You act really quickly!

Li Aiguo knew that the establishment of the Red Star Computing Institute had affected some people's interests.

Once the Red Star Computing Institute produces any results, it will make it impossible for some people to take credit and seek favor.

However, no one expected that the other party would go to such great lengths to isolate the Red Star Computing Institute through various means.

Isn’t this an industry ban?
Li Aiguo pondered for a moment and was about to speak when the phone on his desk rang.

I picked up the phone and it was Liu Guozhang from the Beijing Railway Research Institute.

"Hello, teacher. What? Factory 738 has delayed the delivery of the 103 aircraft? OK, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Li Aiguo looked at the flying leaves outside the window, clenched and unclenched his fists, and felt a rare hint of anger.

He just wants to do something practical and doesn't want to steal anyone's limelight or honor. Why is it so difficult?
Is honor more important than real work? !

Professor Xia Zhongsu saw Li Aiguo put down the phone and asked cautiously, "Aiguo, what happened?"

"The Beijing Railway Research Institute received a notice from Factory 738 that the delivery of the three 103 vacuum tube computers originally scheduled for the end of the year has been postponed."

“Could it be that the Academy of Sciences has tampered with this again?”

Xia Zhongsu stopped talking halfway through.

You have to know that Factory 738 is a key factory. Only President Guo, who represents the Academy of Sciences, can make them change the production plan at the risk of offending the Ministry of Railways.

"This is too much! Is he a bully?"

Xia Zhongsu, an old intellectual who rarely swears, couldn't help but swear at this moment.

"Doesn't he know that the 103 locomotive is related to the railway automatic signal system? Without the signal system, the construction of several electrified railways will have to be stopped!"

"He is only caring about his own reputation, and he is ignoring the development of the railway and the interests of the people!"

Looking at Xia Zhongsu, whose face was red with anger, Li Aiguo said slowly, "Old Xia, it seems that the enemy is coming with great force. Do you have the confidence to withstand the pressure?"

Xia Zhongsu felt more confident when he saw that Li Aiguo was not panicking at all:

"Don't worry, when the Institute of Computing Technology was first established, we were penniless, but we still managed to develop the 103 machine.

Now we at Red Star have so many advanced equipment and so many outstanding researchers.

I believe that we can definitely complete the development of the 4004 processor."

Li Aiguo's eyes were firm: "Okay! We just want to let those people know that even if they try their best to obstruct us, the Red Star Computing Institute is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by anyone.

We will definitely be able to overcome these difficulties and make them regret their short-sighted actions!"

Li Aiguo knew very well that retreating at this moment would mean being completely defeated, and only by moving forward courageously could he achieve the final victory in this war.

He quickly convened the core members of the Red Star Computing Institute and an emergency meeting began.

There are only so many people doing computer research in China these days.

Most of these people are classmates, colleagues, teachers and students, or even father and son.

When they received the notice from Li Aiguo, they already knew that the Red Star Research Institute had been blocked by someone with ulterior motives.

Russian researchers, represented by Professor Gilotti, also knew about these things.

He looked at Li Aiguo standing on the podium with a little worry.

You know, the Minsk Institute had already achieved some success.

After the Minsk 1 computer was developed, it was specifically targeted by the Moscow Academy of Sciences, which caused panic among researchers within the institute and eventually led to its disbandment.

The Red Star Computing Institute had just been established and was still a toddler.

In this situation, how should Li Aiguo respond?

"Professor, should we consider a new way out? Otherwise, should I try to contact the representative of Andre Trading?" a researcher asked in a low voice.

Professor Gilotti said in a serious tone, "Comrade Chekov, we have signed an agreement with the Red Star Computing Institute. Before the agreement is lifted, we can only stand together with our patriotic comrades and the Red Star Computing Institute. I hope you understand this."

Seeing that the researcher didn't seem to care, Professor Gilotti added: "I don't want to see another tragedy like Fadeev happen again."

When Fadeev was mentioned, the researchers' faces all changed drastically.

Others may not know this, but they saw with their own eyes that Fadeev was taken away from the Minsk Institute by people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there has been no news of him since then.

If Li Aiguo can deal with Fadeev, then he can deal with them as well.

This young man, who always has a warm smile on his face, is extremely ruthless.

"Professor, I was just joking." The researcher laughed.

"That's better." Professor Gillotti looked at the researcher deeply, memorized his name, and then turned his head to look inside the conference room.

He was not afraid of those lackeys of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He just hoped that Li Aiguo could find a way to control the situation and develop the minicomputer.

At this time, Li Aiguo had already explained the situation to the researchers: "This is the situation. What do you think?"

A young researcher stood up suddenly, waved his fist and shouted: "Don't worry, every one of us is a hero. We can only live standing up and will never die on our knees!"

"That's right! We can't be intimidated by this little difficulty."

"Don't worry, I will do everything I can to supply the materials. Even if I have to travel all over the country, I will find the materials we need!"

"I don't believe they can cover up everything! None of us at the Red Star Computing Institute are cowards!"

The researchers at the Red Star Computing Institute were all newly transferred from various units and originally had no feelings for the Red Star Institute.

Now that Red Star was being targeted, they suddenly found themselves filled with rage.

They just wanted to develop a small computer.

They just want to contribute to the country.

What are they doing wrong?
Why block them.

Fuck him!

Fuck him!

Anger is burning.

The blood is boiling.

At this moment, even Professor Gillotti and those Russian researchers were infected. They raised their fists and shouted slogans.

The researchers in the conference hall, regardless of gender, age, or rank, have united into an indestructible spear!

Compared with the Academy of Sciences, the newly established Red Star Computing Institute is just a toddler, and it seems to have no chance of winning in this competition.

However, neither the researchers nor the logistics staff showed any fear.

Everyone spoke one after another, expressing their opinions one after another. Every voice was full of power and every look was extremely firm.

Li Aiguo stood nearby, sighing in his heart. Perhaps it is because of this spirit that we can break through the blockade and reach the top of the world in future generations.

The meeting lasted a whole day, with everyone contributing their ideas and sparks of wisdom.

Finally, a detailed response plan was born out of everyone's joint efforts.

The Red Star Computer Institute worked together as one, and under the leadership of Professor Xia Zhongsu and Professor Gilotti, they quickly launched the research and development of the 4004 processor.

After Li Aiguo stabilized the situation at the Red Star Computing Institute, he rode his bicycle to the Beijing Railway Research Institute.

In the director's office.

"Patriotic, I have received news that some people are going to take action against the Red Star Computing Institute."

Liu Guozhang lit a cigarette, and in the swirling smoke, he uttered a heavy word: "The situation is not very good for you, the Red Star Institute."

"Teacher, don't worry. Our Red Star Institute is like an iron nut that cannot be smashed or cracked. We will definitely be able to withstand the pressure."

Li Aiguo took a sip of tea and looked at Liu Guozhang: "Now that we don't have the 103 machine, what should we do with the subsequent electrification transformation?"

"The railways being renovated include the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, the Ji-Er Railway and the Bin-Sui Line, and the renovation of the Chongqing Railway has been basically completed.

The three 103 vacuum tube computers were prepared for the Ji-er Railway and the Binsui Line.

The renovation of these two railways has just begun, so there is no rush."

As Liu Guozhang was speaking, he suddenly raised his head and said, "I have submitted an application to the ministry to suspend the introduction of 103 electronic tube computers as signal control systems."

"You" Li Aiguo was startled.

"That's right. I'm waiting for the results of your Red Star Computing Institute!" Liu Guozhang leaned back and said with a smile, "You kid, please don't embarrass the teacher."

As he spoke, he handed over a list of materials: "This is the deposit for our Beijing Computer Institute."

"Teacher" Li Aiguo took the list of supplies and was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

"We railway people are a family, and when a family encounters trouble, we must help each other."

Liu Guozhang stood up and said, "Just go ahead and do it. If anyone dares to get their hands into our railway system, don't blame us for being rude. This is also Minister Teng's opinion!"

"You also know that because the matter is currently controlled by the Academy of Sciences at the level of each research institute, the Ministry has no way to intervene directly."

The competition between the Beijing Institute of Computer Science and the Red Star Institute of Computer Science is like a fight between two children.

The adults behind them can make some small moves, but they are absolutely not allowed to go on the stage.

This is the rule!

Li Aiguo suddenly felt warm in his heart.

The Red Star Computer Research Institute is not fighting alone.

Behind him is the Ministry of Railways, hundreds of thousands of railway workers, hundreds of thousands of railway soldiers, and millions of brothers and sisters.

"Teacher, don't worry, our Red Star Computer Research Institute will definitely develop a minicomputer in the shortest possible time."

With Liu Guozhang's support, Li Aiguo also breathed a sigh of relief.

In particular, the Beijing Railway Research Institute allocated a batch of scarce materials, which allowed the Red Star Computing Institute to show its capabilities.
