Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

a quarter past eight.

Qin Chu looked at the time on his watch. It was almost the agreed time, but there was still no movement on the sea.

It was pitch black all around, with scattered street lights dim and dark. The entire dock was silent, and there was no longer the sight of ships coming into the port from time to time during the day. Qin Chu stood there alone, hiding his figure in the shadow of the side of a cargo ship.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Chu heard the sound of a motor, coming from the direction of the sea. Qin Chu was delighted, and his originally tense mood suddenly relaxed a lot.

He walked quickly out of the shadows and toward an open space close to the dock.

Sure enough, a speedboat was heading towards the pier on the sea.

Seeing the speedboat, Qin Chu felt relieved.

Waving his arms vigorously, he gestured in the direction of the speedboat. At this point in time, Qin Chu didn't believe that this was a passing speedboat.

Soon the speedboat docked.

"Is this Mr. Qin? John asked me to pick you up." A man jumped onto the boat and asked in a voice with a strong local accent.

"Yes, I am Qin Chu." Qin Chu said happily. "I don't have any other luggage, so I can leave now."

The man nodded, turned around and led Qin Chu to get on the boat. At this moment, several people suddenly jumped out from the surrounding boats, raised their guns, surrounded Qin Chu and the captain, and spoke loudly!

When Qin Chu heard this voice, he collapsed to the ground without any strength left.

Ruined!
After investigation, the whole thing was also very simple.

Qin Chu was spotted by the Rogue Eagle Intelligence Department and recruited to defect when he was studying abroad. Due to Qin Chu's outstanding ability and extraordinary talent, and the fact that they arranged for a beautiful girl to give birth to a child for him, the Rogue Eagle Intelligence Department regarded him as a key training target, and planned to send him back to work in the senior management of Guosu in the future. However, with the rapid changes in Dongda, this early plan failed to materialize. But as Dongda was recruiting a large number of overseas students to return to China to engage in science and technology, and after Dongda produced many incredible scientific and technological achievements, especially the killer weapon such as rockets, the Rogue Eagle Intelligence Department originally wanted to infiltrate Qin Chu into the aerospace research department of Dongda.

However, due to professional issues, Qin Chu, who excelled in electronics, was soon assigned to the electronic technology research department after being recruited back to China. After the chip technology research department was established, Qin Chu became a key business leader there. If nothing goes wrong, Qin Chu will have a place in the future selection of academicians.

However, with the leak of the chip design drawings, Qin Chu basically spent the rest of his life in prison.

With the outbreak of the Qin Chu case, the Liming Research Institute will have a stricter background check and review system when recruiting researchers who have returned from overseas studies in the future.

Prior to this, due to the shortage of manpower, when recruiting personnel, the Dawn Research Institute considered professional capabilities more and used talents in an unconventional way. In addition, in this era, most of the personnel returning to domestic construction are actually full of enthusiasm and do not care about personal gains and losses at all. Ren Zhong has always been very reassured about this.

Therefore, even though the Qin Chu case caused huge losses to the Dongda chip industry, with Ren Zhong's insistence, the impact of this case was quietly suppressed and did not affect other returnees, even those in the project team, and now there is no impact.

Future preventive measures will also include the new security pre-examination that will be implemented secretly. There will be no changes in the implementation policy for those entering the project team.

This minimized the negative impact of the case on the entire Dawn Research Institute. Except for the necessary personnel, most people were not even aware of Qin Chu's affairs. It was too late to make up for the loss.

Of course, the relationship between the Situ family and its successors has become even more important now. In order to make this work routine and standardized, the Situ family cut out some of their confidants and began to become consulting agencies such as law firms and headhunting investigation institutes. They can legitimately accept clients' commissions to carry out investigations and research work, thus minimizing the attention of the Rogue Eagle intelligence department to the University of Tokyo.

Now with the rise of the Tang people in the economy, almost on par with the Squid, the Situ family, relying on its profound influence in the past, has abandoned the strategy of retreating in the main world's history and time under the influence of Ren Zhong, and instead went deep into the mainstream of the rogue Eagle Donkey Elephant, and spared no effort to send their own people into the two core groups of Senators and Public Officials, gathering people's hearts in the areas where the Tang people gathered, and began to have their own mayor and heavyweight representatives at the state level.

The driving force from powerful capital, coupled with the cooperation of Tongluxiang and Guangtongchen, does not emphasize playing the Tangren card alone, but rather takes a positive attitude towards the integration of ethnic minorities into the mainstream. The Tangren is following the path of the squid, and the path is getting wider and wider.

The Situ family and its allies in this world, with the support of Ren Zhong's foresight, have expanded their economic strength far beyond that of other ethnic groups. Not even the Squids can compete with a person with foresight. Now, in industries that are making a lot of money, including super companies like Vision Corporation, most of the market shares are actually held by Tangren Capital except for the founders.

Together with the shipping system and the monopoly on most of the East China trade, the economic power of the Tang people can be said to be on par with the local chaebols of the rogue eagles and the squid chaebols.

Relying on strong economic strength and a pragmatic attitude, plus the good high-level relationships that the Situ family had established in the early days, the strength of the Tang people in the Bright Sword world is far from comparable to that of the main world.

This is also the reason why even though there are many noises inside Rogue Eagle, there are always many heavyweights who stand up and directly veto at critical moments. With such a foundation, many things will soon take action after communication, as a link in our linkage.

Of course at the grassroots level, they know nothing about this. They only know that this is a business and the people who execute it are authentic foreigners. They will be very happy to have such a good job opportunity.

After secretly completing the construction of the new security system, in terms of studying abroad, Tokyo University, as always, selected outstanding personnel to go to major universities in powerful countries for further study. After all, various majors of university education in powerful countries have been developed one or two hundred years earlier than Tokyo University, and many basic majors are world-leading. Even though Tokyo University has invested a lot in education, and the plan to build one hundred key universities has even occupied the construction costs of many local government agency buildings, it is difficult to change this backward appearance in the short term.

Electronics, chemical engineering, machinery, metallurgy. Many basic majors require us to study abroad to make up for the deficiencies of domestic education. Students who can be sent abroad are now trained through financial support from overseas relatives. Even if some people want to stay abroad, they can work in overseas relatives' companies.

When MBI received the precious chip design from Rogue Eagle's Xi'ai, the joy of the whole team could not be described in words. For them, this design was like a map leading to treasure. Although there were some errors in the drawing, it did not diminish its value. For MBI and Bell LAB, the arrival of this drawing meant that their research in the field of integrated circuits would take a key step forward.

In the research of integrated circuits, the MBI and Bell LAB teams were close to a technological breakthrough. The arrival of this blueprint was like a beam of light in the darkness, illuminating their way forward. Hundreds of engineers and scientists in the team began to study and research this blueprint day and night, and carried out simulation calculations and design test verification.

They used the patchwork 5-micron production line and after countless attempts and improvements, they finally successfully taped out the 8080 chip. This was not only a technical victory, but also an important symbol of MBI's independent production capabilities in the field of chip manufacturing. The successful production of this chip allowed MBI to occupy a place in the chip market.

After rigorous alternative testing and verification, MBI confirmed that this chip is fully compatible with the original 8080 chip. This discovery made MBI feel like they had found a treasure, and they quickly began to take on a large number of military electronic orders, providing strong support for the electronic upgrade of Rogue Eagle Navy and Air Force equipment.

For the Rogue Eagle military, this upgrade is an excellent opportunity to catch up with Dongda Aviation Electronics and Ship Electronics. The new integrated circuit CPU has made a qualitative leap in power consumption, volume and weight compared to transistor computers, which has significantly improved the performance of Rogue Eagle's military equipment.

Although this upgrade was not achieved overnight, and Rogue Hawk planned to update the existing ships and fighters in 5-10 years, MBI made huge profits from these orders. These profits not only consolidated their position in the chip market, but also enabled them to secretly invest in the research of RISC computer systems, trying to bypass Dongda's X86 patent system and open up a new computer system.

This strategy of MBI shows their determination to not become a supporting role in the computer wave. Although their research in the RISC field has a long journey in the history of the main world, in this world, Renzhong's changes have brought all this forward by many years.

If MBI does not get the chip design, their research may be delayed by 2-3 years. During this time difference, the computer technology of Dongda may have been updated by a generation, and MBI will find it difficult to obtain a large number of high-profit military orders with computer chips that are one generation behind. Without the financial support brought by these orders, MBI will not be able to invest enough funds in the research of new RISC system CPU chips, and thus will not be able to find a new way to compete with Dongda computers in advance.

However, the wheel of history has rolled forward. This move of MBI not only changed its own destiny, but also unknowingly changed the development pattern of the entire computer industry. Ren Zhong was unaware of all this at the time. He did not know that Qin Chu's personal interests had a much more profound impact on the overall computer landscape than it seemed on the surface. In this long river of history woven by countless decisions and accidental events, every small wave may lead to huge changes.

However, these impacts cannot be seen in the short term. Under Ren Zhong's intervention, the new generation of 8086 (8088) will be announced at the Second World Computer Conference, and Dongda will continue to lead the development of computers.

Ren Zhong's layout in another track is now beginning to bear fruit with the breakthrough in chip technology.

The early layout in the field of computer network technology began to show its far-reaching influence with the breakthrough of chip technology. In terms of network connection, the research team completed the technical breakthrough of LAN TCP/IP protocol and network card and the first generation of data switch based on the technical data transferred by Ren Zhong from the main world. This achievement not only marked the entry of personal computers into the LAN era, but also an important layout of the University of East China in computer technology.

After rigorous testing, the transmission rate of the first generation of ISA network cards and switches reached 10Mbps, which was a huge leap for the technology at that time. Dongda planned to announce the ISA network card and TCP/IP protocol at the second Global Computer Conference as a major technological breakthrough, announcing that the computer industry had officially entered the network era.

Although this technology is still in its early stages and still some distance away from the Internet era, and there are still technical obstacles such as routers to overcome, the TCP/IP standards and technologies of Dongda have entered the practical stage, providing strong support for the development of office digitalization.

Prior to this, although the RS232 interface standard was developed for personal computers to handle the access of peripherals such as fax machines and printers, as well as the connection with other factory equipment, there were few cases of using the RS232 interface to interconnect personal computers. Dongda's network connection technology has changed this situation. By adding network cards, switches and network cables, data transmission over a distance of 100 meters can now be achieved between two machines. If there is a switch to transfer, this distance can be further extended, allowing most personal computers for office use to be connected and realize internal network file transmission.

A network can connect up to 254 personal computers, greatly improving the ability of group collaboration in computer office work. This technological breakthrough not only brought technological leadership to Dongda, but also pointed out a new direction for the development of the entire computer industry. Ren Zhong's layout and implementation will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the future of computer technology.

Considering the huge commercial value of this technology, Ren Zhong raised the confidentiality level of network technology research to top secret.

According to the monetization method of new technology, Todai will establish a new company to develop this new technology field.

This time, Ren Zhong directly named the company 3Com (Chinese: Sanjia Network Technology Co., Ltd.) because Ren Zhong was committed to the development of computer technology and believed that the future development would mainly revolve around the three words computer, communication and compatibility.

This is Ren Zhong’s expectation for the future development trend of computers.

After the company was established, the products it produced in the early stage were basically for institutional and military use, so the first batch of products were confidential products, used to inspect production lines and test production capacity.

With these products, the connection methods of airborne avionics equipment and ship electrical equipment have better channels, greatly improving the efficiency of data transmission. You should know that the maximum transmission rate of the RS-232 interface is 19.2Kbps, and the new TCP/IP transmission network speed is directly increased to 10Mbps, which is more than 500 times!
Obviously, the new network transmission protocol has revolutionary advantages! (End of this chapter)
