Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 188: Xingyao Computer Room is established. BJ uses mathematics as a stepping stone and is about to meet the top scientists in China.

"Jiankun, the computer room has been set up. Shall we go and take a look together?" In the dormitory 404 for first-year boys at Tsinghua University, Lang Junjian ran to find Wang Jiankun.

"Junjian, it's already been assembled? It's only been less than 3 days."

"I asked my classmates for help. When they heard me say that a computer lab was going to open near the school, they were all very happy. One of my classmates saw me going there every day to help with the installation, so he suggested taking them with him to show them the most advanced computers. So I asked five roommates in the dormitory to help with the installation of computers."

"Well, that's a good idea. All the students in your class are studying this subject. You can go and find out if anyone is willing to work part-time. Part-time workers can use the computer for one hour for free every day, and there is also a part-time subsidy of 1 yuan per hour."

"One dollar per hour subsidy? Most of my classmates want to go, isn't this subsidy too high?"

"It's OK. After all, it takes up their precious time. They are all gifted children, so there's no need to make it difficult for them financially. However, each person can only work part-time for 10 hours a week. No more. I don't want them to delay their studies."

"Okay, I'll talk to my classmates later, let's go."

At this time, Wang Jiankun was the only one in the dormitory, as everyone else had gone to the classroom to study. Wang Jiankun had a privilege, as he could choose whether to attend the evening study session according to his own wishes. This was specially approved by the department head, because Wang Jiankun had produced a paper that was worthy of being published in a top foreign mathematics journal just a few days after the start of school.

I remember that after the department head Zhang Yi received the batch of analytic number theory papers, he read them for a full two hours. During that time, he even made several phone calls and called several professors from the mathematics department back to read the paper written by Wang Jiankun. Wang Jiankun did not go to military training that afternoon, but stayed in the office of the mathematics department for the whole afternoon, answering the professors' questions. Finally, the paper was sent to the "New Advances in Mathematics" in the United States with the postage paid by the department.

From then on, Wang Jiankun not only obtained the privilege of free evening self-study, but he was even exempted from several courses. He only had to take the midterm and final exams. If he had not been so young and had just enrolled, the department head would have wanted him to go directly to graduate school.

"Let's go!" Wang Jiankun closed the notebook and put it in his backpack, because it recorded several papers he had written during this period. It was not safe to keep it in the dormitory. It would be very troublesome if it was lost or read.

As they walked out of the school, the two chatted about the follow-up arrangements in the computer room.

It had been one and a half months since the start of school. They were in military training for the first month, and their days were fully scheduled. They could only arrange their own schedule on Saturdays and Sundays at night. The school had a four-day holiday for National Day. Wang Jiankun flew to northern Myanmar in a hypersonic aircraft, created more than 1 new humans, and then made 1 brain-computer chips for the backbone members of the Southern Liberation Front to install and use.

After the sacrifices of more than 3 death row prisoners, the brain-computer chip implantation surgery is now very safe. There is almost no risk in the operation. After the brain-computer chip is installed in a natural person, the abilities in all aspects are greatly improved. So this time when we went to northern Myanmar, at the request of my uncle and several other senior leaders of the Southern Liberation Front, we first manufactured 200 brain-computer chips for their further testing. They will be implanted into the brains of key members who have been strictly reviewed.

Among the 800 new humans, more than 200 were sent to the country, 20 of whom came to BJ, and the person in charge of this computer room was one of them.

It was late autumn in Beijing, and the night air was filled with a hint of chill. Wang Jiankun and Lang Junjian walked slowly out of the south gate of Tsinghua University, and the dim light of the street lamps cast two long shadows on them.

Wang Jiankun tightened his coat, and the white breath he exhaled instantly dissipated in the cold air. Lang Junjian put his hands in his pockets, hunched his neck, and the two walked side by side, the fallen leaves under their feet crunching.

They walked along the street towards Zhongguancun. The trees on both sides of the road had long lost their summer luxuriance, leaving only bare branches swaying in the wind. Occasionally, a withered yellow leaf fell, as if bidding a final farewell to this season.

The newly renovated computer room in Zhongguancun was looming in the night. It was like a mysterious box full of technology, waiting for their arrival.

"Xin Zhixuan, open the door quickly, it's so cold." Wang Jiankun shouted at the door.

"Come on, come in."

Xin Zhixuan, a backbone of the Nanjiezhen who was installed with a brain-computer chip, was originally from BJ. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, they fled to Southeast Asia to avoid the war and were then recruited by the Nanjiezhen. Because he was brought up by his grandfather and had a BJ accent, it was more appropriate for him to come here. After some training, he was selected by the Xingyao Group to go to BJ to develop the personal computer and workstation market and served as the general manager of Xingyao Electronics BJ region.

This house of more than 160 square meters was rented from the street by Xingyao Group and then renovated with materials brought from Hong Kong. It has an 80-square-meter computer room with 60 computers, and a 60-square-meter showroom that is used to display Xingyao Group's numerous chips and parts of its cooperative enterprises, as well as computers and workstation products of different performances. In addition, there are small reception rooms and toilets. Upstairs is the warehouse and a resting place for Xin Zhixuan and other staff members.

At this time, in addition to Xin Zhixuan, there were two other new humans. They were mainly responsible for technical aspects, and subsequently were mainly responsible for after-sales maintenance services.

Because of the new humans' problems with emotional inhibition and memory simplification, they are very likely to run into problems when dealing with people, so these people's positions are mainly technical positions or positions that have very little contact with outsiders.

After Wang Jiankun and Lang Junjian entered the house, they took off their coats and sweaters, and then asked Xin Zhixuan to explain to him the work of the past few days.

"Consultant Wang, let's take a look at the exhibition hall first." Then he took Wang Jiankun to the exhibition hall.

Walking into this newly renovated 60-square-meter computer exhibition hall, it feels like stepping into a wonderful world full of technology and futuristic sense.

The lights are as bright as day, which are emitted by countless carefully arranged lamps. On the ceiling, there are rows of neat and bright spotlights, which are like shining stars, illuminating the entire exhibition hall, without a single dark corner. On both sides of the wall, there are also simple and stylish wall lamps installed, and the soft light pours down, adding a warm atmosphere to the exhibition hall.

The layout of the exhibition hall is simple and elegant. The floor is paved with smooth white marble tiles, reflecting the light, making the whole space look more spacious and bright. The display stands for computers are scattered in an orderly manner. Under the illumination of the lights, the computers on the display stands are shining with the light of technology, as if showing people their powerful performance and unlimited possibilities.

The exhibition hall is surrounded by huge transparent glass windows, through which you can clearly see the scenery outside, and people outside can also get a glimpse of the wonderful things inside the exhibition hall. There are also some comfortable seats next to the windows for people to rest and communicate.

Although this computer exhibition hall is not large, every detail is displayed vividly under the lights as bright as daylight, exuding a unique charm, attracting people to come in and explore the mysteries of computer technology.

Seeing how well the exhibition hall had been decorated, Wang Jiankun couldn't help but admire Zhizi's aesthetic ability. He had previously wanted to showcase the power of Xingyao Computer, so a special exhibition hall was very important. So he asked Zhizi to design an exhibition hall full of science fiction and futuristic feel based on the current level of technology.

“Consultant Wang, isn’t this exhibition hall beautiful? I don’t know who designed it, but it’s a pity that it doesn’t match the house, and we are not allowed to change the outside of the house.” Although Xin Zhixuan had gone through layers of review and had a brain-computer chip installed, he was still not told about Wang Jiankun’s identity and some things about him. He only knew that he was a specially appointed consultant for Xingyao Group and that his uncle had some shares in Xingyao Electronics, etc.

"It does look very nice from the inside. If you are not allowed to change the outside, just make a bright neon sign. The one hanging at the door is not clear at night and is too small to see during the day."

"Okay, Consultant Wang, I'll arrange it later, but the materials may need to be sent over from Hong Kong, otherwise they won't be available here."

"Well, just remember it. Then take me to see the computer room."

"Okay, please follow me." He took Wang Jiankun to the computer room across the corridor. Walking into this newly renovated 80-square-meter computer room, a sense of technology and modernity hits you.

The 60 latest models of Xingyao computers in the room are arranged in three rows, with 3 computers placed back to back in each row. These computers are neatly arranged like soldiers waiting for inspection. Under the light, the silver-white lightning logo on the computer case flashes brightly, as if it can release powerful energy at any time.

Soft and bright lights sprinkled down from the ceiling, evenly covering each computer, making the entire space appear exceptionally clear and bright, without a single shadow. At this time, all the newly installed computers were turned on, and the screens emitted a faint fluorescent light, which intertwined with the lights, creating a unique atmosphere.

The floor is covered with simple grey carpet, which is both beautiful and can reduce noise, making people feel comfortable and quiet when walking on it. The walls are painted white, giving people a clean and tidy feeling, which forms a sharp contrast with the black and silver of the computer, and further highlights the sense of technology in the computer room.

In such a computer room, it feels like being in a future technological world, filling people with the desire to explore and create. They can't wait to turn on every computer to experience the infinite possibilities brought by the latest technology.

Wang Jiankun was very happy looking at the first generation of Xingyao computers produced in the Xingyao Electronics factory. Although the computer was designed with the help of Zhizi, it was completely manufactured by Xingyao Electronics using conventional methods, without any parts made using Wang Jiankun's superpowers. This represented that the productivity of Xingyao Group had reached the forefront of the world at that time.

"Manager Xin, why are all these computers turned on? No one wants to use them right now."

"Advisor Wang, because it has just been installed, the system and other software have not been installed yet. The two technicians will come here to install the software after they finish installing the software on the computers in the exhibition hall. We need to turn it on now to see if the voltage here is stable and whether the computers can start up normally after everything is turned on."

"Oh, that's good. Junjian, the software you wrote will be installed and used here soon. You must pay attention to collecting user feedback. Previously, Fang Guihua and his team only conducted small-scale tests. I don't know if there will be any problems after large-scale use."

"I will come here frequently, and I have also made an agreement with the two technicians to let them be responsible for department records. Later, I plan to update the software and add networking functions. When users find problems, they can upload them through the local area network here, so that I can solve them faster."

"Okay, this is a good idea, but your dormitory doesn't have a computer. How about asking Xingyao Group to sponsor a few computers for your department, and then you can bring one to your dormitory."

"Huh? Wouldn't this take too much?"

"Manager Xin, why don't you take some time to visit Tsinghua University's Microelectronics Department to discuss sponsoring 10 of our Xingyao computers? This way, people can get to know our computers in advance. If they use them well, they will probably buy more."

"Advisor Wang, your suggestion is very good. I was thinking about how to open up the situation. Not only the Microelectronics Department of Tsinghua University, but also other departments and schools I plan to visit. I can sponsor one or two units to let them know about our products."

General Manager Xin Zhixuan had actually already thought about how to open up sales, and sponsoring computers to schools was a good marketing tool. Currently, computers are high-tech products that are only used or have the money in colleges and universities and some large institutions, and few individuals can afford to buy them.

After the visit, Wang Jiankun and Lang Junjian put on their clothes and hats and walked towards Tsinghua University in the cold wind.

"Junjian, is it difficult to study the course?"

"It's too easy. I've already learned most of it. I feel like it's a waste of time to learn it again. Also, what the teacher is talking about is a bit outdated. You see, Xingyao Electronics' computers have developed to the 5-micron level, but the teachers are still talking about things that were several years ago."

"You are only a freshman, and the teachers who teach you are all new. You should learn the basics by following the textbooks this semester, and try to publish papers or produce some scientific research results. Then you can apply to the department to skip a grade or be exempted from some useless courses."

"Well, Jiankun, you are really amazing. You got the department head to exempt you from so many classes at the beginning of the semester, and you don't have to go to evening self-study. But now I don't know what to research in. Writing software by myself is too slow."

"I'll get you some information later. See if you're interested in doing it. As for manpower, two technicians under Manager Xin can provide you with some help. You can ask Manager Xin for some necessary materials, and Xingyao Group will provide them. Your project will be considered sponsored by Xingyao Group. The paper and reputation will belong to you, and the patent results will belong to Xingyao Group."

"Okay, Jiankun, if we are short of manpower, I wonder if we can ask my classmates for help."

"Of course, it's not limited to your department. Other departments are also welcome. The direction I'm going to give you requires the integration of multiple disciplines. It will definitely be difficult for you to do it alone. Even if you can do it alone, it will take a long time."

It turned out that the project that Wang Jiankun intended Lang Junjian to work on was artificial intelligence, and the physical product might be a small robot.

As a large number of new humans are created, Xingyao Electronics will usher in a leapfrog development. In the second half of this year, it will start trial production of 1.5-micron chips, and small-scale production will be possible next year. With the continuous improvement of chip manufacturing process, the development of artificial intelligence can be put on the agenda.

Wang Jiankun needs more people to develop numerous applications for chips, but the new humans lack some imagination and need natural persons like Lang Junjian to explore different application scenarios. The new humans will participate in auxiliary research and expanded reproduction.

The two chatted about their future plans along the way and separated at the entrance of the dormitory area. Since they were in different departments, they did not live in the same place.

"Jiankun, where have you been? The department head asked you to go to his office after the second class tomorrow morning." When the roommate saw Wang Jiankun coming back, he told him that the department head wanted to see him.

"Okay, thank you Meng Kun, do you know what it is?"

"The dean didn't say anything, but it should be a good thing. He was smiling when he was looking for someone." The dormitory head Meng Kun said to him.

After hearing what he said, Wang Jiankun calculated the time and guessed that it might be the feedback on the first paper. The department spent several US dollars in foreign exchange to send the paper out last time. If there was no good result, the department head would not come to him with a smile.

Wang Jiankun carefully prepared the number theory paper that he used as a stepping stone. Although the paper only solved a very small problem in the field of mathematics, the several methods used in it were of great inspiration to these mathematicians.

After meeting with the department head tomorrow, Wang Jiankun plans to produce a few more papers. He doesn’t expect all of them to be published, but this will help consolidate his label as a genius. When the time is right, he will be able to produce some heavyweight results.

Now his research on the NS equations is nearing completion and is not far from a complete solution. During this period, he used the results of his research to improve hypersonic aircraft. This greatly improved the endurance of the "Thunderbird", which originally had a range of only 7 kilometers when cruising at Mach 6. The endurance of the improved "Thunderbird" No. 2 has been increased to 9 kilometers, which has greatly reduced Wang Jiankun's burden because he almost no longer needs to recover exhaust gas at high altitudes to refuel.

Previously, when he flew Thunderbird No. 1 back and forth between Africa and China, he spent a lot of energy to refuel at high altitudes. This was because the flying speed of Thunderbird No. 1 was too fast, and the exhaust gas left the aircraft at an extremely fast speed. There was very little carbon dioxide and water vapor within the range covered by the superpower. The time he took to collect the exhaust gas and convert it into fuel was greatly extended, and it consumed a lot of energy.

However, he does not plan to publish the final research results publicly. Instead, he will first show some relatively simple parts and some mathematical tools created during the research process to the professors in the department. The final results will be published confidentially because this result will be of great help to the aerospace and navigation fields. It may very well provide a supersonic rocket for the development of the country's national defense.
