The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 120 Atomic Clock [Please order the complete data! 】

The revenue figure for December 1992 that Qiu Bojun saw was more than 12 million yuan!

The details are very clear: the sales volume of Huaxing Computer included in December 1992 was 12 units!

Hongmeng OS pays Kingsoft 100 yuan for each computer installed.

WPS pays Kingsoft 50 yuan for each computer installed!

Among the copyright fees from WPS, 10 yuan is for Qiu Bojun’s own copyright fees.

In other words, Qiu Bojun earned 100 million in one month!

"President Qiu, our Huaxing has signed a huge order with the country to provide more than 150 million computer products for the country's key areas."

"This order is required to be completed within 15 months."

"So, we accrued the sales of 10 computers a month, and Kingsoft also received a proportion of the branch's turnover..."

Zhao Min made a special call to Qiu Bojun and explained the matter clearly.

Qiu Bojun was even more surprised.

Let me go, Mr. Long’s Huaxing Company seems to have a deep connection with the country!

Is this because the state has handed over half of the centrally purchased computers to Huaxing Company?

However, this is also normal, right?

After all, other domestic computer products are now poor and expensive!

Huaxing Computer is of high quality and cheap.

Of course, the national centralized procurement must choose Huaxing Computer...

In addition to high quality and low price, Qiu Bojun believes that Huaxing Computer has another most important advantage for the country, that is: all software and hardware are made in China!

In this way, you don’t have to worry about information security issues.

Qiu Bojun originally thought that even if Huaxing Company could rapidly develop into a giant technology company in the future, within the first one or two years of its establishment, Huaxing Company's computer sales would not be very good, and even if it could make a profit, it would not be very good. Not too much. As a subsidiary of Huaxing, Kingsoft Software's life will not be easy either.

However, now, just over half a year after its establishment, the company has started mass production and is selling like hotcakes!

Qiu Bojun immediately held a mid-level meeting and announced the company's revenue of more than 1992 million yuan in December 12.

After the announcement, the audience burst into cheers.

Everyone was clapping excitedly.

Rebus asked: "Excuse me, doesn't that mean that we will have a revenue of 15 to 6 million every month in the future?"

Qiu Bojun nodded and said, "Yes, we will have so much money every month in the future!"

"We have finally come to the end of our hardships!"

"Everyone worked hard when writing the operating system before."

"As for me, I consulted with Mr. Long and prepared to distribute bonuses totaling more than 1 million to all employees during the Spring Festival this year!"

"Our absolute main creative staff will each receive a bonus of no less than 10 yuan! And for ordinary employees, the year-end bonus will not be less than 2 yuan!"

“Let’s all applaud ourselves!”

As soon as Qiu Bojun finished speaking, there was warm applause in the conference room.

Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong were also in the conference room at the moment.

In fact, they have not graduated yet, but since there are no classes in school, they chose to go to Kingsoft Software Company for internship experience.

Because of Zhang Zhipeng's appreciation, Qiu Bojun also gave the two of them some opportunities.

They get a lot of performance opportunities as interns.

And they also seized the opportunity. In the end, both of them showed their talents and became the main creators of Hongmeng operating system and some functional sections of WPS.

Ma Huateng was very excited at the moment. He was very lucky that he took the initiative to approach Qiu Bojun and Long Changzhi, which finally gave him and Zhang Zhidong such a good opportunity today.

The salary offered by Kingsoft Software Company is really high. The two of them are just interns, and their monthly salary has now increased to 2 yuan a month.

This was something neither Ma Huateng nor Zhang Zhidong expected.

Because the salary received by the graduates of their department before graduation was actually less than a thousand yuan on average, only about seven or eight hundred yuan.

However, neither Ma Huateng nor Zhang Zhidong thought much about the year-end bonus.

After all, they have only been with the company for a little over two months and have not made many outstanding contributions to the company.

Ma Huateng felt that it would be a surprise if he and Zhang Zhidong could get a year-end bonus of two thousand yuan.

However, when Qiu Bojun announced the distribution of year-end bonuses, both Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong once again felt what it meant to be unexpectedly ecstatic.

Qiu Bojun was divided into two levels by key personnel.

The first level is the absolute main programmers. There are only 5 people. These 5 people are the leaders of large projects. Each of them can get a year-end bonus of 10.

The second tier is for small project leaders like Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong. There are 21 people in total, each with a bonus of 5 yuan.

Qiu Bojun said with a smile: "Although Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong joined relatively late, their business capabilities are very good, and they have made considerable contributions in writing some key small function programs!"

"So, each of them received a bonus of 5, no one has any objection, right?!"

Naturally no one objected to Qiu Bojun's words.

For programmers, they still rely on their strength to make a living.

Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong are indeed quite good.

Since you want Bojun's appreciation, why should you go against the boss?

So, after Qiu Bojun finished speaking, everyone started to applaud enthusiastically.

……

In January 1993, Zhang Zhipeng finally solved the problem of Huaxing Computer Technology Company's mass production capacity explosion in Chang'an.

The supply chain he integrated with the assistance of relevant departments in Qin Province began to fully cooperate with Huaxing Company's production.

This allowed Huaxing Company's production capacity to be stable enough to produce 3,500 computers per day after half a month of running-in.

And this is already the limit.

Li Yuantao, the main responsible comrade of Chang'an City, was very happy.

Because, driven by Huaxing Company, a large number of dozens of companies in Chang'an City are prospering in both production and sales.

This has also led to the economic development of Chang'an City and the increase in workers' wages.

Huaxing Company, in particular, has a monthly output value of up to five or six billion, and the taxes paid have greatly increased Chang'an City's fiscal revenue.

It seems that the Spring Festival is coming soon.

In Chang'an City, flowers are blooming, and the festive atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger.

There are many fireworks every night.

Zhang Zhipeng has been eagerly waiting for the launch of the navigation satellite.

However, there has been no movement.

This made Zhang Zhipeng a little uneasy.

At this time, Li Zhenke, director of the Satellite Research Institute, called Zhang Zhipeng.

Li Zhenke said: "Comrade Zhipeng, now we have encountered a new problem. The rubidium atomic clock we used before was not accurate enough in timing and had a large error. Therefore, it can no longer be used on navigation satellites."

"New atomic clocks need to be developed."

"And if you want to develop more advanced atomic clocks, it may take a relatively long time."

"So, it is very likely that it will be impossible for our navigation satellite to be launched this year."

Zhang Zhipeng became a little anxious when he heard this.

Of course he knew that atomic clocks were very important for navigation satellites.

Atomic clocks are known as the heart of navigation satellites. The positioning function of the navigation satellite system is based on the precise measurement of time.

China has developed optically pumped rubidium atomic clocks in the 1970s.

For a long time, China's satellites used previous atomic clocks, and there were no major problems.

Therefore, when developing satellite navigation systems, Zhang Zhipeng basically did not work on atomic clocks.

What he thought was that the atomic clocks in the past had been used for so many years, so the problem should not be too big.

Who would have thought that something went wrong with the atomic clock?

Zhang Zhipeng asked Li Zhenke: "How long will it take to develop a new and more advanced atomic clock?"

Li Zhenke said: "We have consulted with the experts in atomic clock research in our country. I am afraid it will not be easy to make a breakthrough in a short time. It will take at least three to five years, right?"

Zhang Zhipeng became anxious when he heard this: "It actually takes so long?"

Li Zhenke said: "This is what authoritative experts say. The world's most advanced atomic clock technology is in Robin's hands."

"If we want to do it, we have to start from scratch. This is difficult and requires a little trial and error..."

Zhang Zhipeng interrupted Li Zhenke and said: "We don't have so much time to waste."

"I'll rush to the capital right away. Let's think about it together and study it. Maybe we can get a breakthrough in a short time. It's possible!"

Li Zhenke didn't quite understand why Zhang Zhipeng was so eager to build a simple satellite navigation system.

However, he really knows now: this young man is really powerful! Li Zhenke's research on satellites for more than 20 years seems to be less effective than Zhang Zhipeng's research for several months.

Li Zhenke thought, maybe Zhang Zhipeng can really build a better atomic clock?

Zhang Zhipeng took a plane to the capital that day.

Although Zhao Bingkun did not pick him up personally, he sent someone to pick him up. Zhang Zhipeng quickly arrived at the Satellite Research Institute.

Li Zhenke told Zhang Zhipeng how it was discovered that the atomic clock was not accurate enough.

It turned out that before confirming the launch, the aerospace department finally organized a group of experts to conduct a comprehensive evaluation and test of the navigation satellite developed by Zhang Zhipeng and Li Zhenke.

In this test, after repeated tests, experts believed that the timing error of the atomic clock on the navigation satellite was a bit large and did not meet the standards required by the navigation satellite.

Therefore, it is recommended to develop it again.

As mentioned before, the country with the most advanced atomic clock technology is Robin.

In fact, China has also tried many times to import Robin's atomic clock.

However, they don’t sell it!

No matter how much you pay, it won't sell.

After listening to Li Zhenke's story, Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Let's study this atomic clock together and see if we can create a new, more advanced atomic clock."

Li Zhenke blinked and said, "Other research institutions have already taken the initiative to take over this research project."

"Do we really want to do this ourselves?"

Zhang Zhipeng waved his hands and said, "Everyone does his own thing!"

"If they can do it in a short time, the result will be theirs!"

"If it takes them many years to build an atomic clock, they really can't wait."

"Let's try it ourselves!"

Zhang Zhipeng immediately asked Li Zhenke to find several atomic clocks produced in my country at different times.

Then he began to dismantle and study it.

Li Zhenke was on hand to do the work himself.

However, he didn't understand atomic clocks at all.

As the saying goes, lines are separated by mountains, and those who study atomic clocks are generally atomic physicists.

Li Zhenke is very cautious about matters that he does not understand at all.

Zhang Zhipeng silently dismantled the atomic clock, and he felt that the skill progress bar in his mind was advancing rapidly.

The basic atomic clock design craft skills were already achieved after he dismantled the first atomic clock.

After dismantling four atomic clocks in a row, he improved his atomic clock design skills to an intermediate level.

Then, he began to think about it and draw pictures on the paper.

Little by little, he was honing his atomic and molecular physics theory and experimental skills.

For many days in a row, he was thinking about it and working hard.

Li Zhenke has also been by Zhang Zhipeng's side.

He thought to himself, could he find a way to design and manufacture more advanced atomic clocks just by writing and drawing on paper?

That doesn't seem very realistic.

Four days have passed, and Zhang Zhipeng has improved his atomic clock design skills to an advanced level!

By this time, he had completely understood the spaceborne atomic clock.

He is now designing a new rubidium atomic clock.

The accuracy of the rubidium atomic clock mainly refers to the frequency stability, which is also directly related to the intensity of the atomic transition signal.

After all, the design principle of rubidium atomic clock is mainly "light-microwave double resonance"!

The two main components of an atomic clock determine the timing accuracy of the atomic clock. The first is the spectral lamp that excites the optical resonance signal!

The second one is exactly the microwave cavity that excites the microwave resonance signal!

Therefore, these two parts are the biggest strength!

If these two technical difficulties are not overcome, then there is no need to build a high-precision atomic clock!

Zhang Zhipeng is now enlightened.

At dusk on the afternoon of the fourth day, he crumpled up all the design drawings he had drawn before and threw them into the shredder.

Then, he took a new stack of design drawings and began to draw his own design process drawings involving rubidium atomic clocks.

He painted very carefully.

Li Zhenke looked at Zhang Zhipeng in confusion as he quickly drew the design.

At this time, he had no idea that Zhang Zhipeng had designed a new type of rubidium atomic clock.

"All right!"

After Zhang Zhipeng finished painting, he gently put down the pen, exhaled and said.

"What's good?" Li Zhenke asked a little baffled.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "I have designed a new rubidium atomic clock."

"Now, let us seize the time to build it in the next few days!"

Li Zhenke was very surprised: "Ah?! Have you really done it?!"

Zhang Zhipeng nodded with a smile and said, "If nothing goes wrong! It should be done!"

Li Zhenke sighed and said, "Isn't this too fast?"

"Even if a professional atomic physicist wanted to build a rubidium atomic clock from scratch, it would probably take many years."

Zhang Zhipeng blinked and said, "It took me several days!"

"During this period, I was groping day and night, and finally got some results."

"Alas! It's really not easy to do scientific research."

Li Zhenke: "..."

He didn't know what to say.

Great scientists have been working hard for many years, but they don’t know how many years it will take them to come up with an atomic clock, or even a lifetime…

It only took him a few days and nights to produce results, and he actually came to the conclusion: Doing scientific research is not easy?

Li Zhenke said: "Look, I can have people provide you with whatever materials you need."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Let me make a list for you. You can have someone prepare it."

"Yeah! I also need a physics lab."

"If you don't have everything on the list ready, you can ask Director Zhao Bingkun to solve it."

Zhang Zhipeng issued a materials list.

Li Zhenke hurriedly asked people to prepare.

They found that some of them were really hard to find.

Li Zhenke called Zhao Bingkun.

When Zhao Bingkun heard this: Zhang Zhipeng actually wants to build an atomic clock again?

He was very excited.

He immediately coordinated and soon had everything Zhang Zhipeng needed ready.

Zhang Zhipeng jumped into the laboratory.

Li Zhenke continued to be his assistant.

Several PhDs led by Li Zhenke also helped in the laboratory.

Of course, the most they can do is help Zhang Zhipeng with odd jobs.

If the work is too complicated, Zhang Zhipeng still needs to do it himself.

The production of rubidium atomic clocks still needs to be very precise.

Therefore, Zhang Zhipeng was very careful when making the first sample he designed.

But even so, he still completed the first rubidium atomic clock sample within three days.

After it was done, Zhang Zhipeng began to test it.

He is now considered a senior expert on atomic clocks.

In terms of testing, he is naturally very knowledgeable and proficient.

After comprehensive and meticulous testing, Zhang Zhipeng was finally able to confirm that the rubidium atomic clock he built could achieve an accuracy of at least one second in 10 million years!

The timing accuracy can reach three billionths of a second!

This has greatly exceeded the accuracy of the atomic clock used by Robin GPS.

Of course, after the prototype is built, it still needs to be improved, and an engineering prototype still needs to be built to facilitate mass production.

However, this is nothing to Zhang Zhipeng.

He is already completely familiar with it.

Zhang Zhipeng quickly completed the very detailed process design drawings for mass production.

After Zhao Bingkun heard that Zhang Zhipeng had completed the research on the latest atomic clock, he was very happy and organized a group of experts to conduct comprehensive and detailed tests.

As a result, experts were shocked by the test data results of the latest rubidium atomic clock studied by Zhang Zhipeng!

Because the rubidium atomic clock developed by Zhang Zhipeng is much more accurate than the previous domestic atomic clocks!

This new rubidium atomic clock developed by Zhang Zhipeng is not only very accurate, but also very stable!

This is a very impressive achievement!

This new rubidium atomic clock will help China's satellite navigation system positioning more accurately!

After the comprehensive evaluation and test by experts, the scene burst into long and warm applause!
