The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 117 Military Order

"A new computer?"

Liu Hua nodded: "Yes, it is a new computer. Our current computers are based on vacuum tubes, and our current PLC is based on integrated circuits. If this is designed as a computer, the size should be much smaller."

"Can it work?" The leader of the First Ministry of Machine Building said doubtfully, "Computers are high-tech."

"Our PLCs are not low in technology." He said cheerfully, "And I think integrated circuit computers should have great advantages. At least they will save power, won't be too big, and will probably have faster computing speeds."

There was a professor from Huaqing University present, who specialized in computer research. While listening to Liu Hua's speech, he made some calculations in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him.

The professor slammed the table and said, "I'll do this job. I promise that I can produce a sample within two months."

Someone whispered in Liu Hua's ear, "This is Professor Li. He returned to China from the big bear in 1958 to teach. He and his colleagues have mastered the nine-nines polysilicon manufacturing process and are now planning to research integrated circuits. I didn't expect you to succeed before him."

Liu Hua quickly smiled and shook his head: "You can't say that. We have only conquered one type of integrated circuits. The future of integrated circuits is huge."

A leader of Huaqing University asked: "Professor Li, don't rush to issue a military order. Are you really sure?"

Professor Li nodded confidently: "The foundation of PLC integrated circuits has been laid. The remaining things are not too difficult. We can definitely get good results in two months."

The leader slammed the table again and said, "Since you, Professor Li, have such ambitions and are so confident, we still have a certain amount of funding left this year. I'll make the decision and give it all to you."

The leader of the First Ministry of Machine Building said: "We can squeeze out a special fund to be used exclusively for the research of this new computer."

Professor Li pointed at Liu Hua and said, "I have only one request. I hope that Comrade Liu Hua can come to my research group every now and then to give me some ideas."

Everyone laughed. The leader of the First Ministry of Machine Building turned to look at Li Huaide and asked with a smile: "How about it? You are Comrade Liu Hua's direct supervisor. Are you willing to give him a day off every week to come to Huaqing University to guide the work?"

Li Huaide struggled for a while, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "As long as Huaqing University doesn't poach employees from our steel mill, I have no objection."

Professor Li looked at Liu Hua hopefully and asked tentatively, "Comrade Liu Hua, what do you think? Just come and inspect our progress and express your opinion."

Liu Hua could only nod. There were five or six elderly people in their fifties and sixties at the scene, all staring at him eagerly. It would be inappropriate for him to refuse.

The leader suddenly asked: "Where is Wang Danian from the radio factory now? Can we transfer him to Huaqing? After all, he is also a participant in the PLC."

Li Huaide hurriedly explained: "Comrade Wang Danian has returned to the radio factory. He also said before that he couldn't carry out the next step of research because he didn't have enough knowledge. And I heard him say that it seemed that Liu Hua gave him an idea, so he went back to study the tape recorder."

"Tape recorder?" The leader asked in confusion, "Is it the steel wire tape recorder?" "I don't know either." Li Huaide said helplessly, "You asked me about machine tools and steelmaking. I know a thing or two, but I really don't know anything about semiconductors. Liu Hua is right here. Why don't you ask him? Why ask me?"

Li Huaide's father-in-law shook his head: "Who told you to be so quick-witted? If you don't answer, aren't you asking Liu Hua?"

Liu Hua could only continue: "I just mentioned the influence of the Palace Ladies in the Forbidden City. I think materials like iron oxide can also be used as a medium for preserving sound, and it can greatly reduce costs. Wang Danian has a direction."

"Okay." The leader nodded uncontrollably, "Very good. We want to be able to do what others cannot do and surpass the West in all aspects."

Liu Hua agreed: "This is the obligation of every descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and I think it is only a matter of time, and it will not take more than a century."

Everyone at the table agreed. They thought that ten thousand years was too long and they should seize the day. At the same time, they also recognized Liu Hua's opinion that, after all, we have been the leader for thousands of years and have only been in decline for a hundred years. The glory of our ancestors does not allow us to fall behind forever.

"Liu Hua, since you think that iron oxide can be used as a magnetic material, then what do you think is the prospect of Wang Danian's research?"

“It’s very profitable.”

It was actually very dangerous to say this at this time, but Liu Hua immediately said, "I think we can make a lot of money from foreign countries. I heard that records are very popular abroad. These things are bulky and easy to damage. If Wang Danian can research it, it will definitely be light and portable, and not easy to damage. This advantage cannot be underestimated. In addition, if patent registration can be realized, then we can make a lot of money from foreigners."

The leader said to his secretary, "We need to find out about the patent as soon as possible. If it is true, we must not let those capitalists take advantage of any world-leading inventions our country has in the future."

The host and the guests had a great time drinking. Before leaving, the leader of Huaqing University gave Liu Hua a pass: "Comrade Liu Hua, you can come to our Huaqing University freely in the future. Except for some laboratories that need to be kept confidential, you are welcome to come here to guide our work and you are also welcome to come here to study."

When the Huaqing leader said this, Li Huaide kept staring at him, fearing that he would poach Liu Hua. His vicious eyes made people feel a little scared.

There is no news about semi-automatic machine tools for the time being. Once large machine tool factories such as Beijing Machine Tool Factory and Shenyang Machine Tool Factory have mastered the technology, they will launch various new semi-automatic machine tools. The leader also gave Li Huaide a reassurance that the products will be allocated to the steel rolling mill first.

With three major inventions this year, even in capitalist companies, the KPI is fully achieved. Without any tasks, Liu Hua is relaxed. He goes to get off work and gets off work on time every day, and picks up his future wife on time.

The last time the parents of both sides met, they arranged a marriage for the two. Liu Hua brought his mother and is planning to invite the in-laws to dinner before the New Year to discuss the marriage of the couple.

According to Liu Ma, you are already at an age that is the prime of your youth, so don't hesitate any longer. It's time to get married, and it's time to have children. While I still have the strength, I will help you take care of the children.

In his previous life, Liu Hua had also encountered such statements. This is probably a tacit understanding passed down among parents, and it is a tacit understanding passed down from ancient times to the present.
