Chapter 2857 The Future Cannot Do Without Computers
Susko, Soyuz Space Institute.
Gorzensky walked into the institute with his hands in his pockets, looking solemn.
Constantine, who was following behind, kept glancing around as if he were on guard against something.
Behind the two men was a group of guards wearing dark gray coats, and in the middle of them was a wooden box.
Everyone carefully guarded the contents, afraid of damaging them.
When the group arrived at the door, the security guard at the door had already made a phone call to the inside.
Soon, a group of people wearing white work clothes came out. They were all quite old, and the elderly man in the lead had a serious and rigid expression.
This man is the head of the research institute, Andrei Dmitrievich.
The two groups met in the lobby.
"Sir, the items are all inside. Where do you need them delivered?"
Gotzensky spoke first, then looked at the wooden crate behind him.
He personally went to the desert and brought the box back from the other party.
As for the money, would the other party dare to ask for it?
The thought of the other person's submissive demeanor in front of him filled Gorzenfsky with a sense of satisfaction.
These guys really think they can act like big shots just because they bought some weapons?
Faced with absolute power, everyone has to play the subservient role.
As for absolute strength, it's naturally the palm technique that descends from the sky.
Unless you can catch it, or return it.
Otherwise, you should obediently accept your place.
After Gorzenfsky finished speaking, Dmitrievich on the other side immediately turned his attention to the box guarding the middle.
"Is this the computer?"
"Yes, sir."
Gotzensky turned around and said, "This is the computer that China copied."
"The specifics still need to be assessed."
Dmitrievich nodded, then said solemnly, "Send it to the research institute, and we'll give it a try."
Gorzenfsky nodded, then waved his hand, and the guards behind him immediately carried the box into the research institute.
Once the computer was assembled at the research institute, the researchers in charge of testing immediately began calculations.
Dmitrievich brought two glasses of vodka to Gorzenfsky and handed him one.
Gotzensky took the glass and sipped the wine. As the wine went down his throat and into his stomach, he felt a slight warmth in his body.
Now, the weather in Susco is starting to cool down in September, with a significant temperature difference between day and night.
However, during the day, there is still a feeling of crisp autumn air. At this time, drinking a glass of vodka and standing quietly in the cool breeze will give you an indescribable feeling of laziness and ease.
"I've never understood what the purpose of this small computer is?"
Dmitrievich held the cup in his hand, looking at the computer running inside with a puzzled expression. "I still prefer the big, bulky kind; that's the future of the league's technological development."
After saying that, he even gestured to make his words more vivid.
Gotzenfsky took a big gulp of liquor, swirled it in his mouth, and then swallowed. He looked through the glass at the computer inside and said, "Like you said, I didn't understand it at first either."
"But it wasn't until I learned about the situation in the United States that I understood the significance of researching minicomputers."
Dmitrievich looked over curiously, only to see Gotzenwsky down his glass of wine in one gulp, and then say, "The United States produces three to five thousand small computers every year, but where do they go?"
"Factory, enterprise, university, middle school, bank, hospital, even military department, and so on."
Gotzenfsky counted on his fingers, then turned his head and said, "Do you know what this means?"
Dmitrievich looked down at the yellowed liquor and nodded silently, "It means they are using computers to develop society."
"Correct!"
Gotzensky sighed, "Yes, military to civilian, civilian to military!"
"It's the same middle school, but our students are still reading textbooks and doing math problems, while what about them?"
"They are already learning how to use computers and how to research them."
"They started to use the power of machines to surpass us."
"This is the significance of our research!"
After saying that, Gotzenwsky placed his wine glass on the windowsill. "And what about us?"
"Our computers may not be inferior to theirs in terms of performance, but can we even move our bulky computers into the company?"
"Can we put it in the classroom?"
"No."
After Gorzenfsky finished speaking, Dmitrievich also finished his drink.
"that's right."
"We are indeed lagging behind in this area."
Dmitrievich bravely admitted his mistake, then revealed strong confidence, "However, if China can do it, then we have even less reason not to!"
Gorzensky nodded and then continued to focus on the computer in front of him.
After one hour.
The researcher in charge of the test came out with the record report and quickly presented it to Dmitrievich with both hands, while explaining the test results.
"Sir, based on the results of this test, the processing speed of this small computer is not fast, at least it is far inferior to our computers."
"Our ternary computer has many advantages, including more flexible and adaptable arithmetic instructions, operands, and result lengths."
"Furthermore, the computing speed has reached millions of times per second, while the other party's processing speed is only about 200,000 times per second."
The researchers first disparaged the other party's product and praised their own, as is customary within the alliance.
Dmitrievich simply nodded without offering any comment.
Seeing this, the researcher once again showed a helpless expression, "But in terms of practicality, this computer is only the size of a table and is relatively simple to operate, making it very suitable for home and business use."
"In this respect, we are indeed inferior."
Dmitrievich nodded again, then signaled that the other party could leave.
After the researcher left, Gorzenfsky asked, "What were the results?"
Dmitrievich's expression collapsed, and he handed over the report, saying, "Its capabilities are basically close to those of the United States."
Upon hearing this, Gotzenfsky immediately looked up and finally asked, "You mean, their computers are very close in performance to those of the United States?"
Dmitrievich nodded.
"So, that means the computers they produce will be used in universities, middle schools, and even various secret research institutes?"
Dmitrievich nodded again.
"Don't doubt their technological capabilities. We still haven't figured out the extraction technology for high-purity silicon, while they've already made solar cells. This is a gap we have to face and acknowledge." "So, perhaps in less than ten years, they will reach the level of the United States in the field of small computer research, or even far surpass it."
Gorzensky felt that the other party was exaggerating, but they dared not refute it.
Only at the very end did Dmitrievich say, "This is no joke."
Gotzensky remained silent, but noted these conclusions down in his mind and went back to report to his superiors.
After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Can we replicate it?"
Dmitrievich nodded. "Yes."
"But it will take some time."
Gotzensky understood, and then said, "In that case, I will report it truthfully."
Dmitrievich didn't speak, but simply waved his hand, his gaze fixed on the computer screen with a serious expression.
Seeing this, Gorzenfsky nodded and turned to leave.
After walking a distance, he heard a sigh behind him, which made Gotzensky's heart sink again.
The other side has developed too rapidly in recent years, and if it cannot be contained, the consequences are unpredictable.
With this in mind, Gotzenfsky prepared to suggest that the level of supervision be increased.
Wajima Island, a military base of the United States.
Just like what happened in the Alliance Labs, there is also a Unit 9-1 operating here.
The person in charge of the laboratory was a tall, middle-aged woman wearing a white lab coat, which couldn't hide her shapely figure.
In the past, walking past the research institute would always attract attention and make one the center of attention.
However, the two middle-aged men beside her were focused on the running computer.
These two men were Wade and Jack, external agents of the United States intelligence service.
Originally, because the two played a dishonorable role in the Kashima Incident, after completing their mission, they were not only not allowed to return to Beijing, but were instead exiled to the desert to eat sand.
The two originally thought that this was how their lives would be, and that they could retire in the desert.
After all, the women here are quite enthusiastic.
But their good fortune didn't last long. They received orders from Smith to build a computer made in China.
Having learned their lesson a few times, the two were somewhat resistant to Smith's orders and did not complete the task immediately.
They only agreed to the task after their boss, Lawrence, called them personally.
Then they found camels in the desert, and after a heated debate, the other party nodded in agreement.
Of course, they may have offered quite a few benefits.
So they set their sights on computers.
At that moment, both men were focused on the computer they were examining, and had no interest in the woman beside them.
"The director already has the results."
Suddenly, a young woman came out and handed the report to the head of the women's affairs office.
The women's director glanced at it and then sneered, "It's just copying our homework. The result is mediocre at best, far inferior."
"You can report back now."
Upon hearing this, Wade quickly took the report and then thanked the women's director, saying, "Ms. Winton, thank you for your support. We will report this truthfully to our superiors."
Jack, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement, and then took the opportunity to ask, "Ms. Winton, do you think there's any need to promote this computer?"
"Or rather, is this computer capable of doing the work we're doing?"
Ms. Winton simply nodded in agreement. "While it may not be up to the level of our computers, it should be able to handle some simple work-related problems."
"Moreover, the fact that the other party was able to do it shows that they have made progress in theoretical development."
"If they can make another step forward, they might be able to catch up with our progress."
"But this step is not easy."
After Ms. Winton finished speaking, the two quickly left.
Upon returning to their lodgings, the two immediately called to report the situation.
Then, the two received further instructions to bring the computer back to China.
This matter must be thoroughly investigated domestically, especially the ten computers sold abroad.
And they will be drawn into the vortex of struggle against their will.
As news spread from within the Alliance and the United States, more and more people began to notice computers manufactured in China.
What followed was astonishment from the world.
Japanese islands.
With the injection of foreign capital and the strong performance of the real estate market, the economy of Japan has begun to slowly recover.
The injection of funds has also enabled some research projects that had long been discontinued to resume.
It would be a lie to say that the Japanese islands didn't want to study computers.
Unfortunately, Japan itself doesn't have much of a foundation, and the investment in local support is too high, so they might as well just buy it from outside rather than spend money on hard-earned research and development.
This time, however, upon hearing about the situation in China, the people of Japan immediately decided to fight to the death.
Since the other party dared to scheme against Canon, why can't they design the other party's computer?
In their minds, China was an ignorant place, no match for them at all.
The reason why the computer was made first is probably because it was disassembled from the original machine.
They are not afraid at all.
This is a chance for revenge.
As a result, the entire island of Japan began searching for computer design talent.
He even made a boastful claim that if he could outperform China's computers, he would receive a house in Edo.
The kind that doesn't require a loan.
This strikes directly at the Achilles' heel of Japanese corporate slaves, who work frantically just to own a house of their own.
With a house, love will follow.
With love, one can get married and have children, thus fulfilling the task of continuing the family line.
Therefore, the entire Japanese island focused on how to develop a better computer.
Compared to the ulterior motives of the Japanese islands, other countries, upon hearing about this, immediately wanted to acquire such a computer.
Today, most of the small computers produced in the United States are used domestically, with few sold abroad.
But anyone with a bit of foresight knows that computer miniaturization will be the trend of future development.
We need to figure it out as soon as possible and catch up with the other side.
Alternatively, I could raise the money as soon as possible to buy more computers for my use.
