The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 121 Milestone

Liu Hua took out a cigarette box, took out a cigarette and handed it to Professor Li. "Have a cigarette. Having a cigarette at this time can solve many problems."

Liu Hua struck another match and lit cigarettes for the two of them. He puffed out the smoke, and it seemed as if all the negative emotions accumulated in his body burst out with it. He immediately felt a lot more comfortable inside.

"I was a little hasty this time." Professor Li said after calming down, "In fact, I have a better design for the processor in my mind, but I just don't have time to implement it. If I am given enough time, I am sure I can increase the computing speed to more than 150,000."

"There's still time." Liu Hua smiled. "Although 10,000 years is too long and we have to seize the day, we can't seize the day, but a few months will not be a problem."

Professor Li nodded and said, "That's right, but it's just a drop in the ocean of time. I will try to make this processor in the next month. I didn't have enough time in the previous two months because I was busy with the computer. Now if I just buy a processor, one month should be enough."

"Have you ever thought of a way to increase computing speed without having to buy a new processor?"

Professor Li asked with interest: "What method?"

"Multi-threaded operation, increasing the number of processors to increase computing speed."

The multi-core processor that Liu Hua mentioned is the forte of processor manufacturers. One of our companies has also done chip stacking to enable backward chips to reach the indicators of advanced chips.

Professor Li put the cigarette to his lips and then stopped smoking. He kept thinking about these words, multi-threaded operation, increasing the number of processors. The more he thought about it, the more he thought it made sense.

Liu Hua just mentioned it briefly and did not go into details. Even if he wanted to say something, there was nothing much to say because he knew nothing about it. Although many people can talk eloquently about processors when playing with computers, most of them actually know the results but not the reasons.

"That makes sense, but this will require a lot of work." Professor Li pressed his temple and said, "It's quite troublesome. This is a brand new process. I need to think about it carefully."

"Don't worry." Liu Hua said with a smile: "Our computers should be sufficient for now, and this can be considered as an iterative upgrade in the future."

Professor Li nodded and said, "No, don't return the pass. Come to our project team more often when you have time. Chatting with you is really useful and can greatly promote the development of our computer industry."

Liu Hua slapped himself lightly on the mouth and said jokingly, "I told you not to talk too much and you are asking for trouble again."

At this time, the leader of Huaqing University came out and greeted Professor Li enthusiastically: "Xiao Li, you have made a great contribution this time. This computer is very convenient. We need computers in many places. Unfortunately, the previous computers consumed a lot of power and were delicate. With this computer, it will be different. I will report to the higher-ups now. The sooner the acceptance is completed, the sooner our computers can be used in scientific research in all walks of life."

"I'm ready for acceptance at any time." Professor Li said with a smile: "I just talked with Comrade Liu Hua for a while, and I have an idea about the subsequent upgrade of this computer. Within half a year, we can produce a better computer." The leaders were overjoyed. These were all political achievements, and the future was bright.

"Okay, okay." The leader couldn't help but said happily: "Just carry out your research step by step. If you need anything, just apply directly. I will do my best to help you."

After Professor Li finished smoking, he went inside to continue discussing ways to improve the project with the project team. Liu Hua sat on the steps in the corridor smoking. It felt really good.

After a while, the leader came running back and called Professor Li out: "The superiors have received the good news of our success. A special expert group will come to inspect tomorrow. The leader said that he fully believes in our expertise. Since we said it was successful, there is basically no problem. He asked if we can speed up the production of a few more units."

Professor Li shook his head: "This computer is not perfect yet."

The leader waved his hand and said, "It's not perfect, but it can do nearly 100,000 calculations per second. Do you know how many scientific research projects across the country need computers? How many researchers are waiting for their turn? There are two project teams that are in urgent need of computers because they have too much to calculate. The leader said that a special fund will be allocated for us to produce five computers within two months to meet the emergency needs. As for improvements, we will do it simultaneously."

Liu Hua, who was sitting nearby, knew very well that the two project teams mentioned by the leader were most likely the project teams of Dagudong, especially the fusion project team. Their research started with mathematical models, and the amount of calculations was particularly large.

Professor Li wanted to argue, because they only needed to wait another two or three months and they would be able to come up with a better computer, so there was no need to waste the money.

Liu Hua patted his shoulder and said, "Let's start production. I know that computers are not perfect yet, but at least they can calculate. If they can draw out pus, they are a good plaster. The government's funding is not sufficient, but it is not important to save a few melons and dates."

The leader nodded and said, "Yes, the research project is extremely urgent. My superiors told me that in order to get the calculation results as quickly as possible, they have transferred a large number of people to work on the abacus. We will help as much as we can."

Professor Li nodded and said, "Okay, you can ask your colleagues in the Department of Mechanical Engineering to make the miniature fan first. As long as the heat dissipation problem of this machine is solved, we can send this machine over for emergency use."

The leader nodded and immediately walked into the room and asked the professors of the Department of Mechanical Engineering who were gathered around the computer to watch the show to take immediate action and try to solve the heat dissipation problem within a day or two.

Seeing that the leader was so anxious, the professors of the Mechanical Department also understood that things have their priorities. The foreign scenery can be seen at any time, but the micro fan is imminent. So within a day, they hand-wrapped a micro fan. After experiments, they greatly reduced the temperature inside the chassis, which proved that their design was effective.

The next day, the computer was packed up. The project team was very reluctant to part with it. According to them, this computer would be put in a museum in the future. This was the first integrated circuit computer in our country and even the first integrated circuit computer in the world. It was of great significance.

Professor Li also reminded: "Leader, I have contributed the computer, and I have one request. When a new computer is produced in the future, can you return this computer to us? For other project teams, this computer is just a tool, but for us, it is a milestone."
