Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 658, Rescue

After leaving Spock's place, head straight to Du Yunze's place.

Actually, among the group, Du Yunze was under the most pressure, with various software development tasks and the assembly of personal computers.

It can be said that all of the company's electronic products are now concentrated here.

It will need to be rectified in the future.

He came here today to see something.

That's a mainframe computer.

He had previously told Song Wenqing that he couldn't get his hands on a mainframe computer, which was indeed true; the current market price for a mainframe computer is $2000 million.

The cost is definitely not that high.

However, the company never stopped working on mainframe computers.

The so-called mainframe computer is actually about compatibility.

Each computer has its own instruction set, so the program must be rewritten every time a new computer is developed.

The main issue with mainframe computers is actually the instruction set.

With a compatible instruction set, a series of increasingly powerful computers can run the same operating system and use the same 44 peripheral devices.

There is currently an unassailable dominant player in the computer industry.

IBM
The other party had already developed the System/360 instruction set in 1965.

After the first unit was delivered in 1965, monthly sales exceeded 1,000 units, with a unit price equivalent to approximately US$20 million in today's value.

That adds up to $200 billion in sales for that month.

Of course, it will take a long time to manufacture these 1000-plus machines.

This instruction set already exists.

Direct plagiarism is definitely not acceptable.

So what he needs is naturally the subsequent one.

Subsequent models, such as the Z990, use SuperScalar technology to improve efficiency, processing a week's worth of System/360 workload in just 11 seconds.

But this is a massive undertaking.

In addition to the instruction set, a large number of high-performance chips, memory, graphics cards, etc. are also needed.

So he needs people; the people on Hong Kong Island alone aren't enough.

He had wanted to work on large-scale machinery for a long time, but he never had the opportunity.

It's important to know that the System/360 alone requires 30 billion transistors.

Computer companies certainly can't function without mainframes.

As for supercomputers, we'll have to wait.

This instruction set is open source, and its patent has long expired, so he can use it directly.

Therefore, he reduced research and development time and costs by countless times compared to IBM.

The development cost of the System/360 in the 60s exceeded $50 billion, no wonder it was so expensive.

If a mainframe with such high performance were to emerge, I wonder if IBM could handle it.

However, he also knew that if the research was actually successful, the company would definitely be under close surveillance.

But he didn't care anymore.

Anyway, he's earned enough money to last him several lifetimes.

More is always better, which is a good thing.

But if there's really no other way, he won't be too upset, since there are plenty of opportunities to make money anyway.

"Brother Du!"

Upon seeing Du Yunze again, Wang Qingsong nudged him.

Hearing the sound, Du Yunze woke up groggily.

"Ah Xuan! You're here! What's up? Did you need something?"

Wang Qingsong looked at him, but the words he wanted to say remained unspoken.

"If you're sleepy, just take a nap! If you ruin your health, Wan Ting will kill me!"

Du Yunze rubbed his temples and said, "It's nothing, I'll just take a nap. There's been too much going on lately, and the people who came here are growing too slowly."

Not to mention these people, each of the technologies that Wang Qingsong provided requires a lot of time to master.

Not to mention those who have never been exposed to anything before.

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong felt a pang of guilt.

He then said, "It's okay, take it slow. You need to adjust your schedule. If you continue like this, I'll suspend your work."

Du Yunze sighed with emotion upon hearing this.

He then asked with a smile, "Do you know what? The articles you asked me to publish under my own name about UNIX systems, C programming, desktop analog technology, and the mouse, etc., were published in the journal 'Science and Technology,' and they received a great response."

Wang Qingsong responded with a "hmm".

He smiled and said, "I know, but it's not possible now. As more and more papers are published, I believe that one day our journal will also become a top-tier journal."

There is a world-renowned journal called "Science" abroad, so he can't use that name anymore. He can only publish the journal "Science & Technology" in Hong Kong.

The company's inventions during this period have all been published there, including academic papers.

All the papers will be published in the American journal Science three months later.

In later generations, people in mainland China took pride in being able to publish papers in these journals.

If others can have world-renowned journals, why can't China?

This includes the CPU and the medicine he provided.

Technology, including biotechnology, is also technology.

Leaving aside the CPU, the mouse is a very heavy thing.

It's worth noting that the mouse, which many people don't pay much attention to, has been recognized as one of the 100 inventions that changed the world.

Du Yunze smiled wryly and said, "I'm still relying on your help! If it weren't for you, I might still be that thief who stole company secrets, and I might carry that label for the rest of my life. I never thought that I would have a day when I could be published in the journal Science."

Looking at the other person, Wang Qingsong felt a surge of emotions.

This guy is under a lot of psychological pressure.

So for many years he has wanted to prove himself.

He then smiled and said, "It's alright, you'll have your chance to make a name for yourself in the future."

Even though they're all borrowed, it's still his name!

Putting aside other things, he can't win any Nobel Prizes in Physics, Physiology or Medicine, or Chemistry, except for the Peace Prize and the Literature Prize.

He moved everything else over.

These can all be found.

Besides what has already been invented, all the prerequisites can be transferred over, even if he doesn't need them.

Leave none for these guys.

He can even bring over literary awards.

In addition, many shortlisted candidates who were not selected were also swept away, leaving them no chance at all.

He pulled himself together and said, "Alright, stop working and go rest! If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it! I'll have someone keeping an eye on you. If you continue like this, then you'll be suspended. Don't worry, your salary will still be paid."

Du Yunze was conflicted upon hearing this.

She finally agreed: "Okay, I'm going to rest."

Seeing this, Wang Qingsong lost interest in asking any more questions.

He's already feeling a bit guilty about how he's been through so much. If he were to suddenly die, the pressure on him would be immense.

The main problem is that he was too greedy.

I didn't stay with Du Yunze for long.

He left immediately and returned to Zhou Ying's side.

……

What are you looking for?

Zhou Ying watched him working on the computer, taking notes, and felt a surge of curiosity.

Wang Qingsong came to his senses.

He laughed and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I'm just checking a list of some people."

He then asked, "Do you know where I can find specific information, especially the time and place of death?"

He found it all from scattered pieces of information, which was incomplete and very difficult.

Zhou Ying looked at him and said, "Why are you checking this period of time? Move aside, I'll check for you."

Then the search began.

While busy, he said, "You're being too vague. Let me check with the Chinese Academy of Sciences for you first."

Then they started investigating.

After a short while, he said, "There are some here, are there any others?"

"Yes! The more the better!"

Wang Qingsong was overjoyed, so he copied and pasted it into the document and printed it directly.

They have the time slots, but many don't have specific addresses.

Looking at the numbers and the notes on the screen, Wang Qingsong shook his head helplessly.

Zhou Ying continued to investigate for him.

It took quite a while before the investigation was finally completed.

Zhou Ying stopped and said, "That's all we can find for now. There are actually many more, but we can't find them anymore. It's beyond our level to know."

Wang Qingsong nodded.

Of course he knew it.

However, these are all the ones that make it onto the list, so you can imagine what level they are at.

Zhou Ying looked at him and smiled, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Oh, no!"

"Then I'll go cook!"

"it is good!"

He also wanted to continue checking the details for each person.

Search the list directly.

These are all figures from encyclopedias, many of whom have long titles.

Check one and register one.

Even after dinner, he was still there checking.

It was late at night when I felt it was about time. The remaining characters were all from six months later, so I could put them aside for now.

After organizing the materials, he went to sleep.

...The next day, after dawn, he returned to Beijing.

When I got back, it was already afternoon.

Looking at the list on the record, Wang Qingsong had excluded those who had passed today or were no longer in Beijing.

Looked at the time.

Find a place, change your clothes, and drive towards the Chinese Academy of Sciences' residential compound.

The car arrived at its destination shortly afterward.

No one dared to stop him when they saw his car.

A short while later, the car stopped in front of a building.

Is Zhang Zongyao here?

Wang Qingsong strode in aggressively.

Zhang Zongyao, 52 years old, is mainly engaged in teaching and research in theoretical physics, especially statistical physics, quantum mechanics and quantum field theory.

Inside the house, a middle-aged woman in her forties was sitting there in a daze.

Hearing this, she merely glanced at him and calmly said, "Didn't you take the person away? What are you still looking for? If you want to find something, go find it yourself!"

He looked indifferent.

He was in a very low mood.

Seeing this, Wang Qingsong softened his tone slightly and said, "Then tell me, who took the person away? I was..."

He revealed the identity he had fabricated.

The other person turned around, glanced at him, and calmly gave him the address.

Wang Qingsong left after hearing this.

However, he still placed some food coupons and money on the table.

These people may not necessarily have money.

I didn't put in too much.

Too much talk is not a good thing either.

The old lady stared blankly at the things he had left on the table, wanting to ask something, but he had already left.

……

After Wang Qingsong left, he drove straight to the address the other party had given him.

The car stopped in the alley shortly afterward.

People used the space as a springboard to quietly sneak in.

There were many people inside at that moment, busy at work.

Wang Qingsong searched around inside and finally found someone in a room.

If he hadn't checked carefully, he really wouldn't have recognized the other person.

At this moment, the other person was wearing thin clothes, his hair was messy, and there was blood on his face.

His lips were extremely dry and cracked.

The old man had already fallen unconscious.

Even when he got close, there was no reaction.

I held my hand in front of my nose to test it.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The person is not dead, but has a high fever.

I quickly prepared some glucose for him and fed him some, then put him into my spatial storage.

The chickens and ducks that were previously stored in the space were still alive when they were released.

The person should be fine.

Anyway, if I don't save him, he'll die the day after tomorrow.

They simply took the person away.

This time, he didn't even bother to hide it anymore. He left the compound and drove off into the distance.

……

Instead of going anywhere else, we came directly to Hong Kong Island.

After returning, he went directly to a closed courtyard with several buildings inside.

He specifically set this space so that if he could collaborate with people from the mainland in the future, they could have their people conduct secret research here.

Besides, it's also reserved for other uses.

The living facilities here are very complete.

After releasing the person, I immediately called Shirley and asked her to bring the medicine over.

The other person was then given some liquid fever reducer.

He called Li Sichen again before waiting quietly there.

……

A short while later, Li Sichen arrived.

Wang Qing closed the door and came out.

She gestured for him to be quiet: "Go talk over there."

Once they were some distance apart, Wang Qingsong said, "I have something to tell you!"

Li Sichen asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why is it so mysterious?"

“There’s someone here who needs your watchful eye, but we can’t reveal his location yet, and no one is allowed to approach except you and me. Oh, wait, Sherry too.”

Shirley knew the other person too.

Moreover, he might need to ask the other person to come for medical treatment frequently in the future!

Li Sichen asked in confusion, "Who is it?"

"The situation is a bit special for people coming from the mainland, so don't ask too many questions. More people may come later, and you'll be responsible for all the supplies here from now on. At least for now."

Hearing this, Li Sichen nodded slightly.

"okay, I get it."

Wang Qingsong nodded: "Okay, if there's nothing else, go and arrange for someone to deliver some daily necessities. We need to start a fire to cook here. Oh, and bring over a few refrigerators too."

"Okay, I got it. I'll go right now."

Li Sichen agreed and left immediately.

Wang Qingsong watched him leave, pondering to himself.

The walls here are very high and covered with barbs, making it difficult to get out under normal circumstances.

Of course, if they really want to get out, it won't be difficult for them.

He will make the arrangements.

When they went back, the other person had already woken up.

He just looked very weak.

"This is where?"

"Academician Zhang, please focus on recovering. I'll explain the details to you later!"

Upon hearing this, the other person looked at the house.

He closed his eyes weakly.

Just as Wang Qingsong was about to speak, the phone rang.

Shirley has arrived.

This courtyard can be entered with either a key or a combination lock; currently, only he and Li Sichen have access.

Go downstairs directly to meet the other party.

The door opened, and the alluring Shirley looked at him and laughed, "Ah Xuan! What's going on? You're not trying to do something under the guise of seeing a doctor, are you? Even though you're the boss, that won't do!"

Wang Qingsong's mind went blank upon hearing this.

"You were sent here to rescue people, now get out of here!"

The door was closed.

Shirley shrugged and followed her inside.

As they walked, Wang Qingsong gave instructions: "This person is very important. When we get there, don't reveal any information. Apart from the medical consultation, don't answer any of their questions, especially about where we are. Also, speak properly!"

When communicating, use Mandarin, not Cantonese or English.

This couldn't be kept secret, but he still wanted to talk about it when he was ready or had the time.

Shirley rolled her eyes: "I'm very serious. Besides, not all men get this treatment."

Wang Qingsong ignored him.

I took him to the second floor.

Pushing open the door, Shirley looked curiously at the person lying on the bed.

Zhang Zongyao had already woken up by this time.

"Mr. Zhang, this person is here to examine you. Please cooperate."

Zhang Zongyao stared at him blankly, without saying a word.

After Shirley arrived, she did a quick check.

They asked a few more questions.

Then, frowning, he asked, "How did you get such serious injuries?"

Seeing this, Wang Qingsong asked, "How is it? Is it a big problem?"

Shirley thought for a moment and said, "It's not very clear yet. We don't have the equipment to do the tests here. At least for now, it seems like his life shouldn't be in danger. I'll draw some blood from him to take back for testing."

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, you do it. The hospital in the industrial park has the equipment. We'll go there for the tests later. I'll let them know. By the way, set up a fully functional clinic here as quickly as possible. Buy whatever equipment is needed, and be sure to do it fast."

Such situations are likely to occur frequently.

They now have a deep partnership with Mary Hospital; they can buy anything with enough money.

There is a hospital in the industrial park, but it is currently unusable.

Shirley looked at the patient and agreed.

"Okay, then I'll have my blood drawn first!"

Then they started drawing blood from the other person, which was what they had brought.

Shortly after, the blood draw was finished, and Shirley took her things to the hospital in the industrial area.

After everyone left, Wang Qingsong said nothing and waited quietly.

If you get the procedure expedited at the hospital, the results will be available very quickly.

Twenty minutes later, Shirley returned.
