The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 165, See you at the usual place, she is pregnant? Destroying her own future! (Seeking monthly votes)

June 13, 1980, Harbin Institute of Technology, Mechanical Engineering Department Teaching Building, Handheld Game Console Project Hardware Division Office.

Today is the first meeting of the handheld game console project department. Since there is no such large vacant conference room in the teaching building of the Department of Computational Mathematics, today's meeting will be held in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

The handheld game console project had already begun preparations in early May, and the project funds had already been invested in. However, Wang Duoyu, as the most important soul figure, had been slow to enter the market.

As a result, the entire project could not be advanced at all because everyone was confused.

If the five words "handheld game console" are separated, everyone can understand them, but when they are put together, no one knows what they mean.

Although Wang Duoyu had explained it clearly to everyone a long time ago, they still didn't quite understand it and had a vague concept.

Many people don’t even know what a game console is, and have never played any games. Even if they rack their brains, they still can’t figure it out.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's start the meeting..."

Today's meeting was chaired by Liu Deben, and Wang Duoyu and others attended.

In fact, Yin Wenjie and others had held many meetings before, but Wang Duoyu was absent.

But no one has any dissatisfaction with Wang Duoyu, simply because this project was proposed by Wang Duoyu.

Without Wang Duoyu, the school would never have been able to get so much money.

It is already very good that everyone can enter this project, so naturally we dare not ask for too much.

What's more, just the software programming proposed by Wang Duoyu is enough to give everyone a headache.

Even Zhou Sitong, Zhao Jiawei, Wu Zhiming and others who had worked on a project with Wang Duoyu found the programming design of handheld game consoles very difficult, not to mention others.

"We've gathered relevant information. On April 28th of this year, Nintendo of Japan launched the world's first LCD video game console, the GAME & WATCH. After its release, this product became a huge hit throughout Japan."

"This console has a total of four games, and Firefighting is the most popular game."

"Through China Resources, we have purchased two Nintendo GW game consoles, and the four games are also here."

Following Liu Deben's words, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

When Wang Duoyu mentioned handheld game consoles before, everyone was very confused. Now that they see that foreign companies have developed and produced such machines, they suddenly have a sense of crisis and direction.

A Japanese company has already produced such a game console and is a pioneer in this industry. It will be very difficult for Harbin Institute of Technology to catch up.

Having a sense of crisis is a good thing, but more importantly, after seeing what handheld game consoles are like, everyone has a direction.

Instead of running around like a headless fly, not knowing which direction to fly.

Wang Duoyu, who was sitting on a chair, watched with a smile on his face, but had no intention of speaking.

After everyone had finished looking at the Nintendo GW game console, Wang Duoyu spoke:
"Now that everyone has a practical understanding of the handheld game console project, don't tell me you don't understand or make other excuses in the future."

"Once you've gotten familiar with the game, get serious! One of the game consoles needs to be disassembled."

hum!
When they heard the word "dismantling", Yin Wenjie and others were instantly stunned, and even Liu Deben lost his composure.

You should know that a Nintendo GW game console costs 5,800 yen and is available in several models including silver, gold, widescreen size, and dual-screen folding console, with prices ranging from 6,000 yen to other prices.

In this era, one dollar is equal to 226 yen, so 5,800 yen is equivalent to 25.6 dollars.

In other words, a Nintendo GW game console costs about 38 yuan, and if you actually add shipping costs and other expenses, the price of this game console will be even higher.

Wouldn’t Wang Duoyu feel heartbroken after dismantling such a game console?
Even if the total investment in the handheld game console project is as high as 10 million RMB, this is not the way to spend money.

Save if you can!

You should know that many people's monthly salary is only 45 yuan now. For example, the two sisters Wang Meili and Wang Meihe's current salary is around 30 or 40 yuan.

"Too many fish, can't be demolished."

"Principal, this must be demolished. If not, how can we learn these techniques?"

Wang Duoyu shook his head and continued:

"I'll give you two weeks. Before I leave for the United States, you must thoroughly understand all the components and general design of the Nintendo GW game console."

Wang Duoyu didn’t know whether they could fully understand it or not, but if they could, it would be the best. If not, there was nothing he could do.

Then, Wang Duoyu continued:

"The product we need to develop for our handheld game console project will be different from Nintendo's GW game console. It will be a groundbreaking product, more portable, and a true handheld game console, not a falsely advertised product like the GW game console."

"Lightweight, low power consumption, and low price are my requirements for this handheld game console. You must achieve them."

"Also, this project is kept confidential at the highest level. It's a commercial secret and the guarantee for Harbin Institute of Technology's comeback."

Harbin Institute of Technology cannot be said to have made a comeback, but after all, the current Harbin Institute of Technology has not fallen into disrepair.

Liu Deben was very sensitive about the word confidentiality. After Wang Duoyu finished speaking, he emphasized it again and again.

We must keep it confidential; this project cannot be stolen or discovered by anyone.

After shouting some slogans, the meeting was almost over.

Because everyone didn't know much about many of the designs and technologies of this project itself, today we have a complete understanding of it.

The so-called handheld game console is actually the GAME BOY launched by Nintendo in 1989 in the original time and space history.

However, the game software of this product is not the products such as "Metal Gear Solid: Ghost of Babel" in the original time and space, but directly developed games such as "Super Mario", "Chinese Cube", and "Squirrel Wars".

As a result, the development task of the handheld game console project is very huge.

The software and hardware departments will undertake many tasks, and all these details need to be steadily advanced, which is not an easy task.

What's more, this game console was not released until nine years later. There was a big gap in time, and our country still had a certain gap with Japan at that time. This made it even more difficult.

Semiconductor factories need to further update and iterate their technologies and optimize their products.

The central processing unit of the Nintendo GAMEBOY game console is an improved version of the Z80, with an 8-bit CPU and a clock speed of 4.19MHz.

MHz means megahertz, and 1MHz means the computer's operating speed is one million times per second.

Although domestic computers today have already been able to reach the level of millions of hertz, applying it to a palm-sized game console is absolutely unprecedented.

And the 4.19MHz requirement means that its technical requirements are higher.

This is a CPU!

The Galaxy supercomputer currently under development at the National University of Defense Technology has a computing speed of over 100 million times per second, while Wang Duoyu and his team's current handheld game console project requires a computing speed of 4.19 million times per second.

The two seem to be very different, but in fact, the technical requirements are not that different.

However, if the National University of Defense Technology develops the Galaxy supercomputer, then computer technology with a computing speed of millions of times will not be that important.

On the other hand, Wang Duoyu has not yet made such an extremely high request, otherwise, Yin Wenjie and the others would have collapsed.

Regarding the memory of handheld game consoles, Harbin Institute of Technology also has a CD memory project. As long as this project can achieve a technological breakthrough, it can be fed back to the handheld game console project in the future.

Because the internal memory of Nintendo GAMEBOY console is 8KB Byte RAM.
The requirements are not low, and it is not easy to achieve them. Wang Duoyu is mentally prepared for a protracted battle.

After all, he directly reached such a high intensity, and it would be a dream to want to develop it in a short period of time.

Fortunately, he never fights an unprepared battle.

In the next few days, Wang Duoyu went back and forth between several offices of the handheld game console project to provide guidance, especially to the software department. They needed to develop several games, so they had to speed up the programming.

First complete computer programming, and then try to see if it is possible to start a software company and sell game cartridges.

After all, the technical requirements are very high, and the initial 10 million RMB in funding for the project may not be enough.

On June 18th, Zhu Ling came to Harbin Institute of Technology from Beijing again.

She didn't come here alone, she came back with Secretary Li Rui and others.

Secretary Li Rui brought back good news from Beijing: Peking University, Tsinghua University and several other schools have agreed to his request.

"Did they really agree?"

Wang Duoyu was a little surprised when he heard this.

You should know that he had previously made a relatively unreasonable request to Duan Xuefu, the director of the Department of Mathematics at Peking University, which was to require Peking University students to take an exam set by him. Although it was an open-book exam, they must pass the exam before they can come to Harbin Institute of Technology to attend his courses.

To be honest, such a request is of course unreasonable.

Especially for a top university like Peking University, why?
But even such an unreasonable request was agreed to by schools such as Peking University and Tsinghua University.

"Yes, they all agreed, and the candidates who had already passed the interview will arrive at Harbin Institute of Technology in three days. Peking University and several other schools also wanted to send a few more people to follow, but I refused."

Hearing Li Rui's words, Liu Deben slapped his thigh hurriedly:
"Secretary, why did you refuse? We are very short of talent right now. You don't know that our handheld game console project has very high talent requirements. You didn't come to the meeting that day, so you don't know..."

When he said this, Liu Deben glanced at Wang Duoyu, then pulled Li Rui over and whispered in his ear:
"Secretary, I suspect Duoyu is using this handheld game console project to develop some very advanced technology. I suspect it's not just a talent shortage, but a shortage of top-tier talent. Furthermore, a ten million investment is definitely far from enough. I'm afraid it's going to become a complete waste."

Upon hearing this, the latter nodded calmly and replied in a low voice: "Let's discuss this in private later. Let's not talk about this now."

The two patriarchs are not fools. Through detailed control of the project, they can see some clues from it.

It’s just that Liu Deben didn’t show it because of his trust in Wang Duoyu.

What's more, the Diao Pai Company is now thriving, and even the higher-ups are very optimistic about it, so even if Liu Deben has doubts in his heart, he just hides them in his heart.

"Duoyu, this is Professor Xia. You should remember me, right?"

When Li Rui saw Xia Peisu get off the car, he pulled Wang Duoyu over and talked.

At this time, Wang Duoyu had also seen Xia Peisu. He did not expect that the old lady would come to Harbin Institute of Technology.

"Professor Wang, long time no see. I didn't expect you to have developed a distributed computer. I didn't have the time before, but then I heard you were no longer at Harbin Institute of Technology, so I finally took the time to come and see you."

"Professor Xia, you should just call me Duo Xiao Wang or Duo Yu. I absolutely don't dare to call you Professor Wang."

Wang Duoyu said quickly.

If it were someone else, Wang Duoyu would certainly not care about these small details in the name.

But the person in front of him is the mother of Chinese computers, a predecessor he respects very much.

After the pleasantries, everyone went straight to the cafeteria to eat.

Zhu Ling is more than three months pregnant, but her belly is not that obvious at the moment. She just looks a little round.

She followed Wang Duoyu, not saying anything, just watching and listening with a smile.

Who made Wang Duoyu so busy with work now?

Everyone went to the cafeteria to eat. After they were full and satisfied, Zhu Ling was helped by Yang Xiuhua and other female teachers to go back to the teachers' dormitory building, while Wang Duoyu and others went to the teaching building of the Department of Computational Mathematics.

In fact, Zhu Ling didn't need to be sent at all, but when Yang Xiuhua and the others heard that she was pregnant, they were all very nervous.

Who knows if she is pregnant with a future mathematician?
Although it is extremely rare in the entire mathematics community for both father and son to be mathematicians, who knows?
Xia Peisu entered the fifth floor of the Computational Mathematics Department's teaching building, the former Distributed Computer Project Office, and immediately saw the computer group that had stayed there before.

She immediately requested a set of data tests to see whether the distributed computer developed by Wang Duoyu and his team was really that powerful.

There is actually no need to ask this question. Xia Peisu himself knows it because the military has already placed five orders with Harbin Institute of Technology, which directly allowed Harbin Institute of Technology to make a profit.

If the secret decryption of Bureau 749 had not been kept confidential, Xia Peisu would definitely have known about it.

In fact, Xia Peisu guessed a little, but she certainly wouldn't be so foolish as to ask Wang Duoyu: Did the 749th Bureau come to see you before?
Soon, the test results came out, and Xia Peisu said with deep emotion:

"It's true that the younger generation pushes the older generation forward. Our country needs more young people like you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu quickly spoke a few humble words.

Then, Xia Peisu placed an order for ten distributed computers with Harbin Institute of Technology on behalf of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. With this order, Harbin Institute of Technology made a fortune.

So the factory has to continue working.

Li Rui and Liu Deben were immediately overjoyed, as this meant that a large amount of funds had been deposited into their accounts, and Harbin Institute of Technology had more and more funds on its books.

In this way, Harbin Institute of Technology can start to promote many projects.

Improvements to teachers' housing, student dormitories, etc., as well as some theoretical scientific research projects, can also be further promoted.

For a top university, it must be a hexagonal warrior. It cannot be just good in one aspect, but must be good in every aspect. This is a true top university.

From the current perspective, the most impressive department of Harbin Institute of Technology is the Department of Computational Mathematics, because this department produced a person named Wang Duoyu.

At present, the most impressive scientific research achievement that Wang Duoyu can produce is the proof of the Poincare conjecture, followed by distributed computers, electric bicycles, etc. As for some of his previous theoretical papers on quantum integrable systems, Langlands concept, etc., they are not worth mentioning.

But even these theoretical research results, which are not worth mentioning, are the results that many professors want to achieve.

Harbin Institute of Technology now needs to promote scientific research projects in military-related majors such as aerospace vehicles, missiles, and radars, as well as promote the development of majors such as materials science, chemical engineering, and machinery, as well as research and development in theoretical physics, applied mathematics, basic mathematics, computer control, software engineering, radio, precision instruments, etc.

In addition, other seemingly unimportant but actually very important key areas such as admissions and graduate schools also need to be steadily advanced.

In short, the two patriarchs, Li Rui and Liu Deben, thought more comprehensively and were eager to surpass Tsinghua University and Peking University in all aspects and become the top universities in the country.

Xia Peisu stayed at Harbin Institute of Technology for two days. Wang Duoyu really wanted her to stay at Harbin Institute of Technology for a while to help promote the optical disk storage project, but the old lady said that she still had a project at the Institute of Computing Technology.

Xia Peisu even offered him a direct invitation with a smile: "Duoyu, I know you have a strong talent for computers. In fact, my current parallel computing project is also in need of talent. Next time you come to Beijing, be sure to come see me."

Wang Duoyu nodded, feeling both amused and helpless, and he also realized how difficult Old Lady Xia was to deal with.

In the principal's office, Li Rui and Liu Deben were discussing the handheld game console project.

The reason why they didn't go to the secretary's office to discuss it was because Li Rui himself didn't come back to Harbin Institute of Technology often, and his office was not very popular, so it would be better to come to Liu Deben's place.

After discussing it, the two decided to pretend they didn't know about it. As long as Wang Duoyu needed anything, the two parents would fully support him.

"no problem!"

Liu Deben nodded, and Li Rui sighed:
"Old Liu, you spend most of your time in Ice City, managing the school's internal affairs and logistics. You're not very familiar with what's happening outside. Let me tell you, there's actually no need for Professor Shang Zhongmin and the others to travel around anymore."

"Diao Pai Company currently has a large number of orders for battery products. Whether we can complete them this year is really uncertain."

"Orders for motors are also increasing steadily, and it is foreseeable that electric bicycles will become a best-seller once they are launched on the market."

"In the past one or two months, when I was at the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building and other ministries, the leaders were very enthusiastic towards me."

Just talking about these changes, Liu Deben nodded clearly.

Liu Deben was aware of the increase in orders because he was also keeping an eye on Diao Pai Company and had been urging the construction of the fifth phase of the factory.

The construction workers have to ensure the quality of the factory and make sure the construction progresses steadily, so they are very troubled.

The professors and teachers of civil engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology are all paying close attention to this. This is a very rare practical opportunity. After all, no matter how well they teach in school, it is not as good as an internship directly.

Although those workers, peasants and soldiers who were already in their senior year were not as talented as the college students who had taken the college entrance examination, they were still college students after all, so they took advantage of this rare opportunity to study hard.

Once the construction of the fifth phase of the factory is completed, Diao Pai Company will enter a stage of rapid development.

"Old Li, you said Duoyu has so many things on his plate right now, and it's almost July. Will it affect his presentation in the US?"

Li Rui heard this and shook his head:

"We don't need to worry about this. You and I both reminded him before, so he must be aware of it. Besides, he just finished his course on the Poincare conjecture in three-dimensional space at the end of May."

There was no need to continue, Liu Deben already understood.

Indeed, they don't need to worry about these things about Wang Duoyu.

Doing a good job in logistics management is actually good enough. Wang Duoyu is very serious about his profession and work.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of June. Zhu Ling stayed in Bingcheng for more than a week and then returned to Beijing.

Someone was there to pick her up, so there was no need for Wang Duoyu to personally send her back to the capital.

Just the day after Zhu Ling left, Wang Duoyu suddenly received a letter.

When he opened the letter that the security staff had delivered to him, he was surprised to find that it was actually written by Liu Xiaoli.

There was only one sentence on the letter: "See you at the usual place at 3:30 this afternoon!" This incoherent sentence made Wang Duoyu frown.

He hadn't seen Liu Xiaoli for a long time, and he had to explain things to her.

Wang Duoyu arrived early at a park next to Harbin Institute of Technology, but he didn't expect Liu Xiaoli to arrive even earlier.

“You came, you changed.”

What does it matter whether he has changed or not?

"What's the matter with you asking me out? Didn't I make it very clear in the letter before? I'm already married, and we..."

"I've moved back to Bingcheng for work. I moved back before the Spring Festival. I've been keeping an eye on you to see if she's pregnant."

Liu Xiaoli's words silenced Wang Duoyu.

The goddess turned into a bootlicker, and the filter was broken in an instant.

In Wang Duoyu's heart, he felt more distressed and pity for her, but he was already married and had a family.

After a long silence, Liu Xiaoli continued to ask:

"Are you going to America next month?"

Hearing this, Wang Duoyu felt a little uncomfortable and his face did not look very good.

"Ok!"

There is no need to ask about this, as it is also mentioned in the newspaper. Liu Xiaoli has been paying attention to him and must be very clear about this.

"I've moved back to Ice City as you asked. I'm no longer working at the dance academy. I'm now doing clerical work."

"If, I mean, if I had agreed to you two years ago, would I be the one you married?"

Wang Duoyu remained silent after hearing this.

He couldn't just respond coldly: It's a pity there is no if.

Once he replied with this sentence, I'm afraid Liu Xiaoli would collapse on the spot.

It is not a good habit to burst the other person's fantasy.

"You've become very cold now. You weren't like this before."

Liu Xiaoli's tears suddenly fell uncontrollably.

She had many grievances but nowhere to tell them.

For him, she has made such a big change that even her parents find it incredible.

But Wang Duoyu remained indifferent.

She wanted to make amends, but it seemed that the damage was done.

"Do you still receive letters from readers? I remember you asked me to help you open the letters before. You won't even let me do such a small favor now, will you?"

Finally, Liu Xiaoli humbly made a request.

She didn't dare make any other requests, for fear that Wang Duoyu would directly reject her, which would make her even more embarrassed.

Wang Duoyu wanted to refuse the other party, but seeing the pleading look on his face, he couldn't help but nodded:

"There are also letters from readers. If you are willing to help, then you can go to the capital. The letters are all there."

Liu Xiaoli was immediately overjoyed, and couldn't help but hug him, which scared Wang Duoyu.

"Xiao Li, I'm already married"

Gah!
The joy on her face faded in an instant, and she turned into a cold beauty.

This person is so annoying. Why does he have to say such spoiling things at this time?

She had already started to act like an ostrich, but why did he have to puncture her fantasy with such cruel words?
"I hate you!"

After saying that, Liu Xiaoli pushed him away with tears in her eyes and ran away.

But after running less than twenty meters, she suddenly turned back.

Then she quickly hugged him and kissed him for a long time before pushing him away, crying and saying viciously:
"Hmph, I want to collect some interest. You are mine in the first place and I haven't given up yet."

This time, she really left.

Wang Duoyu was completely stunned. He stood there in a daze and didn't react for a long time.

What is Liu Xiaoli up to?
At the beginning, for the sake of her career and because of Wang Duoyu's rejection of the United States, she was unwilling to give in.

Now, after a year and a half, she comes back to do this again. Are you trying to make him feel guilty?
Could it be possible that the two of them could go back to the past?

Zhu Ling is already pregnant!

"Damn it, I shouldn't have come out to see her."

Wang Duoyu felt a sudden pain in his balls when he thought about the fact that he had promised her to help deal with those letters from readers.

Forget it, just pretend that there were no letters from readers and let her deal with it on her own. The rewards from readers can be considered as compensation to her.

After returning to the HIT campus, he was stopped by security personnel at the school gate and told that President Liu was looking for him.

When Wang Duoyu walked into the principal's office, Han Jue was also there.

The latter was reporting some work and was almost done. When he saw Wang Duoyu come in, he smiled and nodded, then went out.

"Principal, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Look, Duoyu, didn't you say you wanted to order fifty computers? We've already purchased the necessary parts and have them delivered to the school library today. When do you think we can organize the staff to start the installation?"

When Wang Duoyu heard Liu Deben mention this matter, he said that there was no problem and he would arrange someone to handle it tomorrow.

He said that the two systems, paper plagiarism checking software and library management software, will be available in the next two days.

Both sets of software are not complicated, and he has not been idle during this period of time.

After all, he doesn't need to deal with so many things now. He just needs to focus on the handheld game console project, read some books occasionally, and learn some aerospace professional knowledge.

"Okay, okay, no problem. You can make the arrangements."

Liu Deben said happily.

Now everything is progressing steadily. Having invested so much money in fifty computers, Liu Deben certainly wants to see results, and hopes to see them quickly.

Otherwise, if the money goes down the drain, it would be a real waste.

The next day, Wang Duoyu brought Zhou Sitong and others to the library, and in less than half a day, they assembled the parts.

After debugging of fifty computers was completed, Zhou Sitong and his team were the first to sit in front of the computers and began various tests.

The next day, Wang Duoyu brought two sets of software and installed them on these computers.

After installation, you cannot use it yet because the software is just software and does not contain any content.

The next step is the lengthy process of entering the paper content, which requires recruiting more professional personnel to handle this matter.

Therefore, fifty computers may not be enough.

The most critical thing is memory.

As we all know, the memory of this era is very small in bytes and cannot store much content.

Liu Deben is very willing to spend money, but at present, the computers and memory he purchased for millions of RMB can actually store only a few books.

But this is still a very advanced attempt.

Therefore, the floppy disk storage project needs to be advanced faster, otherwise the so-called paper duplication checking system will be nothing more than a moon in the mirror and a flower in the water.

Of course, if you want to make this system better, you will definitely need to continue to spend money.

It’s not just updates on memory and other aspects, software system vulnerability fixes, and most importantly, paper procurement!

Because papers from many countries and regions are continuously updated, such as "Science China", "Journal of Mathematics of Fudan University", "American Annals of Mathematics", etc., the papers in these professional mathematics magazines are updated in every issue.

Only by continuously including these papers can we avoid duplication of papers as much as possible or prevent people from taking advantage of the situation.

Therefore, Harbin Institute of Technology already has its first large-scale project that requires continuous investment every year.

Just spending money every year to purchase professional magazines and journals from abroad is a considerable expense.

If it weren't for the relationship with Diao Pai Company, I'm afraid the Foreign Exchange Department would have made things difficult for Harbin Institute of Technology.

The matter was quickly settled. For the long-term planning of Harbin Institute of Technology, this matter must be carried out to the end.

On the penultimate day of June, June 29th, the handheld game console project held another general meeting.

This meeting will include a summary of the recent work of the software and hardware departments, a task report on the next stage of project research and development, and Wang Duoyu will propose new sub-projects at this meeting.

The first thing is the work summary.

This project was launched in early May, and it has been almost two months now.

"Our hardware department has now gained a thorough understanding of the hardware design and underlying technologies of the Nintendo GW console, including processors, storage and memory, interfaces, and other aspects."

“However, at this stage, we cannot proceed to the next step of development. We are still in the process of understanding.”

Zhang Jikang, the head of the hardware department, stood up and reported.

Wang Duoyu heard this and nodded:

"Okay, I won't ask about the technical aspects. You need to understand more about the design aspect, especially the processor. In our handheld game console project, this is the top priority."

"I will be leaving for the United States next month and will be away from home for about half a month."

"Although half a month isn't a long time, I hope you'll continue to work hard while I'm away, and I hope you'll do your jobs well."

"Teacher Yin, it's your turn."

He didn't continue talking nonsense, just said a few simple words, and then asked Yin Wenjie to report on his work.

The project was previously led by Yin Wenjie, but now Wang Duoyu has taken over the project, so the software department is now in charge of the former.

The software department is responsible not only for game software such as "Super Mario", but also for the software programs of the game console itself.

After Yin Wenjie finished speaking, Wang Duoyu said:

"Now that both the software and hardware departments have completed their reports, we will discuss the detailed R&D tasks."

At this point, he still didn't mention the key points, such as the specific data of the CPU of the game console itself.

Because it was too difficult, he didn't want to hit Yin Wenjie, Zhang Jikang and others.

After a while, when the discussion was almost over, Wang Duoyu suddenly said:
"Principal, that's all we have so far on this project, but we may encounter many major challenges down the road. My idea is to establish several smaller projects within this one."

Upon hearing this, Liu Deben said to himself: It’s finally coming!
"A few days ago, the technical staff from Beijing and Shanghai came over. They are still in the process of getting familiar with the situation. I thought it would be better to gather them together and make them responsible for these small projects."

"The first small project is the design and development of the processor chip. This part can be handed over to professors Xue Yuheng, Li Kangmin, and Yao Wenrong from Peking University."

Xue Yuheng and others who were attending the meeting were suddenly delighted.

When they arrived at HIT, they were actually hesitant: Is HIT really a good place? Can it provide them with enough room for development? Will it trust them?

Especially the trust, it is very important!

You have to know that they all come from Peking University, a top university, and they are very arrogant.

Because Wang Duoyu held a lecture at Peking University in April last year, Li Rui and Liu Deben both disliked Peking University very much.

Especially this year's lecture was snatched away by Princeton University in the United States. Harbin Institute of Technology got nothing and has been very angry for a long time.

Even though Xue Yuheng and others came to Harbin Institute of Technology, they must do the following: keep their jobs and be under their supervision.

But what Xue Yuheng and the others were afraid of was that Harbin Institute of Technology did not trust them, thinking that they were too arrogant and needed to be disciplined, for fear that they would run away at any time.

Now it seems that Wang Duoyu is still very decisive and directly gave them a good project.

Can chip design and R&D be a small matter?

Definitely not a trivial matter!

Liu Deben didn't say anything at first, but when Wang Duoyu mentioned the need to purchase equipment such as lithography machines and mentioned capital investment, he was instantly stunned.

The stepper lithography machine listed by Wang Duoyu is a product developed and produced by the American company GCA, which appeared in 1978.

Currently, the most advanced photolithography machine in our country is the GK-3 semi-automatic photolithography machine, which was launched in and is a contact photolithography machine.

The technology is not backward, but it is far from meeting Wang Duoyu's technical requirements.

By 1980, China's semiconductor industry and electronics industry had actually surpassed South Korea, Taiwan, and even Japan.

Last year, in 8080, Shanghai Component Factory No. and Radio Factory No. had successfully copied the CPU launched by Intel in , a year earlier than Germany's successful copy.

In other words, our domestic technology imitation capabilities are still very impressive.

However, these imitation products cannot be exported and can only be sold domestically.

However, the handheld game console project developed by Wang Duoyu is aimed at overseas, and the main battlefield is not domestic.

After all, in this era, there is simply no such consumption capacity in China.

Therefore, contact lithography machines such as the GK-3 semi-automatic lithography machine are not included in Wang Duoyu's plan at all.

In fact, the stepper lithography machine may not be able to meet Wang Duoyu's requirements.

The reason is very simple, that is, the handheld game console needs to have a larger byte capacity of memory while ensuring the same size.

This means that better chips are needed.

For example, Wang Duoyu requires the minimum capacity of game cartridges to be 256KB.

The price of a GCA stepper lithography machine at that time was US$450,000, which was still very expensive.

In order to ensure product output, Wang Duoyu said that he could first purchase ten such lithography machines, which would cost US$4.5 million.

Liu Deben was stunned when he heard this.

The other people in the conference room were also stunned.

Ten lithography machines?
Is this too much?

"Duoyu, why don't we wait a few years? I remember that the 45th Institute of the Ministry of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and the 109th Factory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are all developing lithography machines. They will definitely be able to imitate the stepper lithography machine."

After reacting, Liu Deben immediately said:

"We are now spending $4.5 million on lithography machines. It's a waste of money."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yin Wenjie, Zhang Jikang and others nodded, even Xue Yuheng and others remained silent.

At this time, they seemed to have selectively forgotten the word patent.

Imitation became their only way out.

After hearing what Principal Liu said, Wang Duoyu was dumbfounded. Is he going to ruin his own future?

What a double standard!
