Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

夜晚
Around 11 o'clock

Li Feng got up to go to the toilet at night.
At this moment, Li Feng heard the snoring all around him and couldn't help but yawn.

At times like this, Li Feng would definitely not want to go to the toilet unless he needed to get up at night.

Since there was no toilet in the dormitory, he had to go to the public toilet in the hallway. So, after putting on a thick coat, he went to the toilet.

Just as Li Feng finished using the restroom, a mechanical voice involuntarily echoed in his mind.

"bite!".

"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission of creating new colored porcelain and famille rose porcelain for the Great Hall of the People."

"bite!".

"Congratulations, host, you have acquired intelligent computer technology (fifth-generation computer technology)!"

"bite!".

"Triggering the first mission in the series on the rise of a great power!"

"The host is required to initiate and develop a machine tool control system project within the research group."

"bite!".

"The host can obtain the complete sequence technology of computer chips upon completing the task."

After hearing the mechanical voice in his mind, Li Feng was completely dumbfounded.

Have I completed my task at the ceramics factory?

Furthermore, they acquired intelligent computer technology!
Most importantly, he has also triggered a series of missions related to the rise of a great power, but he is currently just the deputy director of the factory office of a ceramics factory.

Does this mean he's going to research computers himself? Or is he going to research machine tools for industrial use?
These two things seem unrelated, yet they are closely connected.

Li Feng was still in a daze at this moment.

However, Li Feng had just finished using the restroom. To clear his head, he decided to go for a walk in the hallway to get some fresh air and sort out his thoughts.

Li Feng felt that only the cold wind of winter nights could calm him down; although it was cold, it was very effective.

As Li Feng pondered this matter, he unconsciously wrapped the thick coat he was wearing around his neck even tighter.

Although Li Feng wanted to calm down, he didn't want to catch a cold.

After all, the weather in Beijing is still quite cold at this time of year.

After wrapping himself in his clothes, Li Feng began to think about how he could initiate this project, even though he was now part of the research group.

But I have only just joined the research group.

It seems a bit difficult to propose this project so rashly.

However, this complete sequence of computer chip technology is very tempting. After all, computer chip technology will be very important in the future, as long as it is related to science, technology, intelligence, or automation.

That absolutely cannot be separated from computer chips.

Moreover, this is complete technology, which is very tempting, at least for Li Feng at this moment.

If we have this technology, then we will be able to manufacture our own chips in the future.

However, if we want to manufacture chips, we must first solve the problem of lithography machines. Solving the problem of lithography machines means solving the problem of high-precision machine tools for manufacturing lithography machines.

In other words, the current challenge lies in high-precision machine tools.

Now we have intelligent computer technology, that is, the fifth generation of computer systems, which are computer systems that closely integrate information collection, storage, processing, communication and artificial intelligence technologies.

This type of computer not only possesses traditional computing and information service capabilities, but also performs advanced information processing, such as formal reasoning and associative learning, thereby supporting more complex problem-solving and decision-making. Furthermore, fifth-generation computers can interact directly with humans through natural language or graphics.

Although it differs somewhat from later computers, it is certainly sufficient for building automated production lines.

Following this line of thought, developing such a computer would require overcoming numerous challenges.

The result is that the technology is now available.

The only thing lacking is research, and of course, funding.

Both the research personnel and funding issues posed significant challenges for Li Feng. However, if he wanted this chip technology, the task had to be completed.

Otherwise, these are all just hypothetical scenarios.

When Li Feng thought of this, he felt his hands and feet were a little cold. The wind in the stairwell could indeed help him wake up, but it was just too cold.

Next, Li Feng went back to his dormitory.

No matter what Li Feng thought, he first needed the support of the school professors. After all, it was impossible to do these things without the support of the school professors.

I can't raise that much money to realize this project.

Moreover, he was not qualified to apply for projects at the moment. Although Professor Xiang had allowed him to join his research group, applying for projects was something that Li Feng, a freshman, could not do at all.

When Li Feng thought of this, he prepared to rest.

He plans to talk to Professor Xiang about this tomorrow.

After all, Professor Xiang is a mechanical researcher; who knows, he might be interested in this project?

So Li Feng decided to ask Professor Xiang for his thoughts tomorrow.

Li Feng then fell asleep amidst the snoring of He Xiaodong and the others.

The next day

After finishing his class, Li Feng quickly found Professor Xiang and prepared to tell him about it.

So Professor Xiang took Li Feng to a secluded place.

The reason Professor Xiang took Li Feng to a secluded place was that he wanted to take the opportunity to rest.

At this moment, Professor Xiang first smiled and asked Li Feng.

"Speak."

"What is it?"

Li Feng then organized his thoughts before speaking to Professor Xiang.

"Professor Xiang, it's like this."

"I suddenly have an idea about the lathe control system in our country."

Professor Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then he immediately said to Li Feng.

"Tell me more about it."

Li Feng then began to explain to Professor Xiang.

"That's right. When I was working at the ceramics factory, I studied information about CNC machine tools in order to design parts for the production line."

"I found that the design of the Frank system currently used abroad is not very difficult. I have studied some of the programming in private."

"I just joined your research group!"

"So I want to study this, and I'm confident I can make it."

"Could you please offer me some support?"

"Professor Xiang, does our school have any computers?"

"Regarding this code, I'd like to use a computer to calculate it."

Professor Xiang was very surprised after hearing what Li said.

Because he never expected that Li Feng would know how to program.

Then he thought of Li Feng's talent in mechanics, so it was normal for Li Feng to learn computer code.

Actually, Professor Xiang felt that Li Feng's confidence in getting these things out after reading the relevant materials made him admire Li Feng's courage.

However, Professor Xiang also admired Li Feng's courage.

After all, without courage, it's difficult to achieve anything in scientific research. (End of Chapter)
