That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 803 I am happy too early

"Li Ye, tell me more about the improvement suggestions you made just now. I will write them down on a floppy disk and take them away."

After agreeing with Li Ye on improving the "Wind Language Chinese Characters", Master Ni did not leave immediately, but dragged Li Ye around to ask questions.

Li Ye did not act in an airy manner like a hermit. He simply stood in the user's shoes and expressed his desire for "more convenience and speed".

But these ideas, which seem ordinary decades later, were absolute "secrets" in 1987.

Master Ni stared at Li Ye's mouth, and typed out every word Li Ye said on the keyboard with his fingers, and stored them on his 1.2M floppy disk.

Finally, Li Ye couldn't stand Master Ni's gaze anymore, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I really don't have any more ideas. I will tell you as soon as I have an idea."

"Really gone?"

"Really," Li Ye said bluntly, "Old Ni, you just have to stick to one idea. The computer you research is not for professional typists, but for any high school student."

"what?"

Master Ni was stunned for a moment, then asked doubtfully: "You mean to popularize computers among the whole people?"

Li Ye snapped his fingers and said admiringly, "That's right, Old Ni, you are really smart."

Master Ni frowned and said, "But even in the Lighthouse, computers are not universally available."

[That’s because there was no Internet, no ICQ, and no online games. ]

Li Ye said calmly: "We can't always chase after the lighthouse. If in the future, whenever someone mentions the Wind Whisper computer, they realize that it is a computer designed for ordinary people, what do you think it will be like?"

"I'm not just talking about mainlanders! I mean, we want people all over the world to know the Fengyu brand, and know that Fengyu was created for ordinary people."

Although it is still several years away from the large-scale popularization of computers, Li Ye believes that starting from now on to consider ordinary people can allow Fengyu computers to develop their own characteristics.

Master Ni was shocked at first, and then fell into deep thought.

However, Xiao Zhiyu, the "typist" in the office, looked at Li Ye with strange eyes.

[If any high school student can operate a computer, then what use is there for me as a computer technician? ]

Pan Xiaoying also looked at Li Ye: [You want the whole world to know Feng Yu. How big is your heart? ]

After thinking for a long time, Master Ni suddenly sighed.

"I have always told myself not to be proud or complacent. But today I realized that I was too happy too early."

"We used 386% of the parts from overseas to assemble and produce this Fengyu , so we think we should celebrate. But if the day you mentioned really comes, how should we celebrate? Hehehe~"

Master Ni smiled, but his smile was a little self-deprecating.

In 386, Compaq launched the first generation of 386 computers. Fengyu Computer launched its own 386 the following year, one year earlier than the Great Wall 32, allowing the mainland's computer industry to enter the stage of -bit processing capabilities.

But this achievement was made possible because Hong Kong Fengyu obtained the authorization from the lighthouse, and then authorized it to Pengcheng Fengyu in the mainland. Pengcheng Fengyu then cooperated with Factory 506 to produce this machine.

So how many of these are achievements worth celebrating?
Li Ye patted Master Ni on the shoulder and said, "Master Ni, you have already taken the first step. Are the second and third steps far away?"

Pan Xiaoying also smiled and said, "That's right! This celebration was not something we asked for. It was an award given to us by our superiors. Engineer Ni, don't be modest. Our next step is to develop processors and conquer CPUs."

"."

The expressions of Master Ni and Li Ye both froze for a moment.

Pan Xiaoying noticed it immediately, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Looking at the looks of you two geniuses, did I say something stupid?"

Li Ye hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, sister-in-law, if we want to conquer processors and chip manufacturing, we must get official support. We can't do it ourselves."

Pan Xiaoying still smiled: "I can't do it. Can you tell me why you can't do it?"

Li Ye thought about it and said helplessly: "Sister-in-law, you want to make chips, how many researchers can you mobilize? I'm not talking about technical secondary school students, but researchers in the research institute."

Pan Xiaoying straightened her back and said, "If the funding is not a problem, I can find you 30 researchers."

Li Ye and Master Ni smiled at each other, sighed and said, "Although I don't understand it very well, I know that thirty researchers are not enough. Three hundred or one thousand may not be enough."

"."

How many technicians are needed to make a chip? There is no exact number. If we use the "sandpaper method" to erase other people's trademarks and print our own trademarks, then a few people are enough.

But if you want to make a chip of the same level as 386, I don’t know how many senior technicians you will need.

In the 80s, there were no Tsinghua or Peking University schools everywhere, and 985 universities were as numerous as dogs!
Besides the astronomical amounts of funding and manpower, how dare you, as a private company, recruit thousands of technical personnel to work on a project? What do you want to do?

In the 1980s, chips were not cars. They were definitely national treasures. Would you be allowed to hold them in your hands at will?
Such a huge project can only be realized with the firm push from people at the top of the pyramid.

But when Li Ye finished speaking, Pan Xiaoying's eyes lit up, bright green.

Master Ni was very surprised. He didn't understand why Director Pan didn't understand when Li Ye had explained it so clearly?

But Li Ye suddenly realized that Pan Xiaoying's ambition had been touched.

Pan Xiaoying knew too well the charm of a large national project. It would make one famous overnight and soar to the sky. If it could start from her hands, it would be worth it even if she lived ten or twenty years less.

. . . . . . . . .

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

Just when Pan Xiaoying's eyes were shining, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Come in."

After opening the door, Li Ye was surprised to find that it was Li Juan who came.

Technician Xiao Zhu pointed at Li Juan and said, "Chief Li, this girl wants to see you. She said she is your sister."

"Yes, it's my sister. It's okay. Go and do your work!"

Li Ye sent Xiao Zhu away and was about to take Li Juan outside. Because Li Juan knew the phone number of Li Ye's office, but she came over without calling this time, there must be something special.

But when Li Ye pulled Li Juan, he felt resistance.

When I turned my head, I saw Li Juan craning her neck and drooling over the new computers in the computer room.

Since you are drooling, there is nothing urgent.

Li Ye took Li Juan back to the computer room and introduced her to Pan Xiaoying and others: "This is my sister Li Juan, a sophomore at Peking University."

"Wow, it's from Beijing University again! Li Ye, are all your family top students?"

"There must be a secret to learning, there must be"

Everyone greeted Li Juan, but Li Juan just smiled shyly at everyone and then couldn't take her eyes off the computers.

Li Ye smiled and asked, "Xiaojuan, do you have a computer class this year?"

Li Juan said eagerly, "It's open. You can use the machine twice a week. You have to queue up and the time limit is limited."

"Oh~, then I'll send one to you some other day."

"."

Li Juan's eyes slowly moved towards Li Ye, shining brightly.

This girl knows that her brother is rich, but she doesn’t know how to spend the money, and she can’t even imagine it.

In this day and age, owning a computer by yourself? That is so unrealistic. Even the trendsetters of the times, such as the Red-robed Leader and the Baidu boss, only had access to computers at their elders’ workplaces!
But this is not the end. After Li Ye arranged the hardware, he said to Master Ni: "Old Ni, my sister is studying microelectronics at Peking University, which is related to your business. I will send her over during the summer vacation. Can you take her as an apprentice?"

Master Ni agreed without hesitation: "Sure, sure, but this also needs the approval of Director Pan! I'm a technician, I can't make the decision on other things."

Li Ye looked at Pan Xiaoying, who said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me? How dare I disagree? If I say no today, Xiaoyu will smash my door tonight."

"That's settled then," Li Ye turned to Li Juan and said, "Although Engineer Ni is not an academician, he is now at the forefront of microelectronics in our mainland. As long as you become his disciple, you will definitely get benefits in the future."

Li Juan hesitated, and suddenly pulled Li Ye's sleeve, motioning him to go out and talk.

Li Ye frowned and followed Li Juan out of the computer room.

Then Li Juan said aggrievedly: "My mother sent me a telegram just now, saying that she gave birth to a younger brother for me and asked you to name him. She also told me to go to Hong Kong Island to take care of my younger brother during the summer vacation."
