Chapter 634 Damn automatic information distribution!
If Gao Zhendong knew that they had such wild imaginations, he would probably sigh and say that technical people should not be given opportunities. If you give them a chance, they can come up with all kinds of tricks for you.
However, Gao Zhendong is happy to see this situation. A single tree cannot make a forest, but many people add fuel to the fire.
He is only responsible for sowing the seeds, and as to what kind of fruits will be produced, it is up to other comrades to decide freely.
He smiled and shook his head, once again lamenting his behavior of using bean buns as dry food, and then devoted himself to debugging the motherboard.
The memory stick had been adjusted long ago. It was a simple thing. Gao Zhendong now had several 512-Byte memory sticks, which were obtained by inserting 4 RAM chips on the circuit board of each memory stick.
This method of inserting the memory vertically not only allows for more flexible adjustment of the memory capacity, but also effectively reduces the area of the motherboard.
What we are debugging now is the mainboard. There are many things on it, so it will take some time.

At the Gallic Rooster's house, Le Goff was reporting to Senna on the latest progress of the software cooperation with the Orientals. Judging from Le Goff's energetic expression, things were very optimistic.
"...These are all the conditions given by the other party, Mr. Senna." Le Goff quickly ended his report.
"Le Goff, do you think they can fulfill their promise?" Thinking about the Oriental promise to increase the speed of general-purpose computers 10 times within two years, he wondered if his assistant had brought materials from another big Oriental country. When it comes to bragging, there aren't many that can compare with that country.
"I think so." Le Goff was more optimistic.
"What's your reason?"
Le Goff flipped open the file in his hand and pointed to a place. "From the situation I just reported to you - they promised to invest in the new computer for this project. They achieved basically the same performance as DJS-5 with less than one-fifth of the volume. If calculated by performance-to-volume ratio, they did increase the computer's speed by more than five times in one year. I don't know how the Orientals did it, but they should have done it."
Le Goff expressed his amazement at the speed of development of our computers. He is not a computer professional, so he was amazed but not shocked.
I have to say that Mr. Le Goff understands numbers, and the charm of numbers is fully displayed here at this moment.
5 times in one year, wouldn’t that be exactly 10 times in two years?
But this is not completely unreasonable. The same performance, 1/5 of the volume, doesn't that mean the same volume, 5 times the computing power? It seems to be no problem.
At least that's what Mr. Senna thinks.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Is the Triangle Aircraft Company satisfied with this result?"
For Triangle Aircraft Company, the most important thing is whether it can obtain a suitable computer. With this condition, there is a basis for moving forward. However, whether the computer provided by Oriental meets the requirements depends on Triangle Company.
"They were satisfied with this and only asked the other party to promise that while providing the high-speed computer, the price increase of the high-speed computer compared to the existing DJS-59 purchase price could not exceed 100%."
This matter could continue to be discussed, but Triangle Company's request made Mr. Senna frown.
Such a big leap, such a low price, will the Orientals agree?
"Do you think the Orientals would agree?"
"I don't know, Mr. Senna, but at least we have a basis for negotiation. We can achieve this goal in many ways, such as leasing. The total rent cannot exceed a certain limit during the lease period, or we can set a purchase limit for this price. If the purchase exceeds the limit, we must pay more money, or we can give up some benefits or compensate with other technologies, etc."
Le Goff also knew that Triangle Company's request was a bit excessive, and it might be difficult to get the other party to agree to his conditions through normal negotiation methods, so he also considered a lot.
"Well, this matter can be resolved through negotiation. They were able to come up with two new devices to facilitate this cooperation. It seems that they are sincere."
Le Goff nodded. "Yes, and they are willing to provide more manpower to alleviate the shortage of software engineers in Triangle Company. I must admit that I don't think there is a better manpower advantage in the world than them in programming in C language in the Loong system of DJS computers. But they also made it clear that these people need to be paid extra fees, and we should pay in the form of foreign exchange."
We have shown enough sincerity and have not given too many free lunches, otherwise their thinking will change from "seeking cooperation" to "making a profit from rare goods". In front of them, we can show respect but cannot show weakness, otherwise they will bare their fangs.
"It seems that they are short of foreign exchange, Le Goff, this is their weakness!" The comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Trade made a very clever move, using a purely economic weakness to cover up our real weakness: we are eager to send a large number of people over to learn the urgently needed industrial technology!
After thinking he had found our weakness, Senna said things should move forward: "Let's continue the discussion. We can get people from Triangle Company to join in. Now that we have an intention, we need their people to participate in the detailed negotiations."
After saying this, he remembered a word that Le Goff had said just now: "Their new type of computer is only used for the 'investment' software project?"
"Yes, Mr. Senna. They are only used to invest in this project, and have stated in advance that the use of such computers will be strictly supervised to ensure that the batch of computers is indeed only used for this cooperative project. However, according to some of our sources, the big bear has obtained an import license."
Senna clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with this: "This is really too bad. The use of this computer, I think, is very bright. Their discriminatory sales policy must be reversed."
Senna is not stupid. This kind of computer has no other advantages except that it is light and small, and extremely light and small. For many organizations with special needs, it goes without saying that they want this.
DJS-59 can thrive here, and it is self-evident what kind of treatment it will get, as it is only 1/5 of the size of DJS-60D. If it can help the other party open an export, it will undoubtedly be a proud thing for itself.
"Then let's include this matter in the negotiations for this cooperation?" "No, no, no, let me think about it. It may not be a good thing to cram too many things into one thing. This will allow the other party to gain more bargaining chips. Perhaps, putting it after this cooperation is a reasonable choice." Mr. Senna has been working in business for many years and has his own experience and judgment on negotiations.
"You make a point, Mr. Senna." Le Goff expressed his admiration, saying that foie gras is fatter when it is old.
However, things seem to be somewhat out of their control.
The secretary knocked on the door: "Mr. Senna, a gentleman from the Equipment General Administration of the Ministry of Defense wants to see you."
Equipment General Administration? Is it for SS.11? Hasn't this matter been resolved? And there is no after-sales service for this kind of thing.
"Please let him in." He's already here.
Sure enough, the person who came was the middle-aged soldier who proposed to buy the SS.11 defect improvement technology last time.
"Sir, it's nice to see you again. How can I help you? Is the enemy's missile technology not up to par?"
The middle-aged soldier shook his head. “No, Mr. Senna, it has nothing to do with this. The last deal was very good, and we at the General Equipment Administration would like to thank you for your efforts in it.”
Senna smiled and said, "At your service, sir."
The middle-aged soldier took out a piece of paper and said, "I'm here for another matter, Mr. Senna. I think you have heard of the DJS-60D."
Damn automatic intelligence distribution!!!
Cena almost burst into a curse.
"Yes, I know. It is one of the conditions of the cooperation we are negotiating with the Orientals."
He knew, but there was no further information, promise or curiosity, as if the middle-aged soldier's purpose had nothing to do with him.
This is also the attitude that Senna originally wanted to express. For Senna, the arrival of the middle-aged soldier and his demands may very likely disrupt Senna's arrangements for the negotiations.
That's why he cursed the automatic distribution of intelligence.
The middle-aged soldier said bluntly: "We need this condition, Mr. Senna."
The middle-aged soldier himself still remembers the ecstatic expressions on some of his colleagues' faces when they saw this intelligence.
Sufficient computing speed, sufficient reliability, small size and power consumption, this computer is very important for some things.
In particular, reliability and adaptability are, to some extent, more important than computing speed.
Perhaps it was because Daxiong also initially issued the export license through civilian trade channels, and Daxiong did not keep it a secret, so they even got intelligence from Daxiong that this new type of computer had a military reinforced version.
When they first received the intelligence, they did not take the computer called DJS-60D seriously because the intelligence was not detailed enough to describe the characteristics of DJS-60D clearly.
At the same time, they were also very clear that what Big Bear could buy from the Orientals might not be available to them.
However, when the gentlemen of the General Equipment Administration received the information automatically distributed from Senna, they immediately took action. They had to get this thing.
First of all, because of its characteristics, it can meet certain special needs.
Secondly, since the Orientals included this new type of computer in the conditions of cooperation, even if it is only an investment and no export license is opened, and even if its use is strictly controlled even in cooperative projects, it at least opens the door to purchase a little.
So the middle-aged soldier came to Mr. Senna again. In the last cooperation, Mr. Senna's abilities were fully demonstrated and the result was perfect. I hope it will be the same this time.
