Chapter 655 The future has come

Chapter 655 The future has come
The leader of the 1th Ministry of Machinery was not stupid: "Tsk, that's wishful thinking. Once I send this batch of stuff to the Ministry of Foreign Trade, even if it's second-hand, I can definitely earn back the cost of my 1: replacement, and I can definitely make a profit!"

Now both 59 and 60D are on the export list. Although 60D still needs to select customers, 59 is not picky. Its main slogan is "It's a big commercial stage, come if you have money."

We do business with integrity. We buy second-hand goods at second-hand prices. Don’t worry about whether the second-hand price is expensive or not. Just ask yourself, is it cheaper than new goods?
For some countries that really need this thing, it doesn't matter whether it is second-hand or not. What matters is whether it can be used.

"It's not like it can't be used." Gao Zhendong remembered a famous saying from a certain bar in his previous life.

After all, other countries either don’t sell it or charge extremely high prices. Those that do sell it aren’t too expensive, but the operating costs are high and they always break down.

Of course, there are not many countries that need this thing, and the total amount is not large. Its application scope is not very wide at present, and it is really useless for most countries. However, even if there are fewer countries, it is not a big problem to digest the DJS-59 in use nationwide.

This topic was considered to be a serious matter, and the leader of the Defense Work Committee also became serious: "Well, it does make sense. With the price of this new machine, it can achieve N:1 replacement. We can really think about this matter carefully."

The largest users now are the Defense Work Committee and the 59th Ministry of Machine Building. Other users are also using it under the guidance of the th Ministry of Machine Building. As long as these two ministries work together, they can really replace all DJS-s quickly.

At this point, the two leaders couldn't help but praise Gao Zhendong in their hearts, saying that his product was new, good, fast and cheap.

That's so sweet.

Hearing their words, Gao Zhendong's heart moved and he remembered something. Otherwise, why not give it a try to see if he could make a big deal?
Just do it!

"Leaders, if you want to replace DJS-59, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if I should say it."

"Speak!" When it comes to computers, you don't have to follow any of Gao Zhendong's suggestions, but you must listen to them first!
"I wonder if we can just release the technology of DJS-59."

Gao Zhendong had a mischievous smile on his face. He couldn't help laughing when he thought about whether the English words "Thanks to God Gao open source!" would be everywhere on the Internet in the future.

As soon as he said this, several leaders looked at him with shocked expressions.

Are you okay? Are you overworked and have mental problems?

The first reaction of the Defense Work Committee leader was to shout for the guards and then send Gao Zhendong to a sanatorium to recuperate for a while. This is a treasure and nothing can happen to him.

—A proper sanatorium, not a St. Elizabeths kind of sanatorium.

"Zhendong, do you know what you are talking about?" The leader of the Defense Work Committee had a serious look on his face. Even if you were the one who developed this technology, this suggestion was a bit too outrageous.

Gao Zhendong did not back down and explained with a smile: "Dear leaders, this is just a suggestion. Whether to do it or not is another matter. But first listen to my analysis and tell me the reasons."

That’s right. By listening to what he really thinks, at least we can know whether he really has mental problems. If so, he needs to be treated immediately.

"Go ahead!" Several ministry leaders said in unison.

"Do you remember, leaders, that I said that using discrete transistor components to build computers is a dead end?"

As soon as Gao Zhendong uttered the first sentence, the leaders began to understand a little.

This guy is so vicious! Some leaders even spoke in their hometown dialect.

"Do you want to lead others down a dead end and waste their resources and time?"

This doesn't seem to be a bad idea. Using a set of outdated and hopeless technologies to achieve deception and inducement in technological strategy, who says this guy has a good temper and is harmless?
It's almost fatal to hurt people!

It seems that he has never given up his fighting skills and can use them flexibly in different fields.

But to their surprise, Gao Zhendong nodded and shook his head: "This is a side effect, but in my heart, I hope they can use the technology of DJS-59 to the extreme, use it until they can't live without it, and can't bear to use it anymore!"

What kind of operation is this? People these days have never been tortured by the "application ecosystem". Even the most capable people can't think of this problem for a while.

"Why is this? Explain in detail."

Gao Zhendong elaborated one by one: "As long as we make the architecture technology of DJS-59 public, most countries that want to do so will not be able to make modifications on it, especially since DJS-59 is such a complex machine. If they want to obtain DJS-59 on their own, they can only follow our path, right?"

This is inevitable. Even though this thing is very backward in Gao Zhendong's hands, it still has some advanced features when it is released to other countries, and very few countries have the ability to modify it.

"Once they have the machines, will they use them for a large number of applications? Once these applications are formed and put into operation, it will be difficult to change their purpose."

"Stuck?" The leader of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building laughed.

Leader, you can't say that. In the future, people will get angry when they hear these two words. "Well, they will form path dependence, and a lot of resources that have been invested are not scrapped. They must hope that new and better computers still follow this set of architectures and standards. And we are the best at this set of architectures and standards!"

It’s…wonderful! All the heads of ministries and commissions praised it in their hearts.

"They may not be willing to follow us, but the problem is, as I said just now, the way forward on this road has been cut off. When they invest too much in DJS-59 compatible machines, many things are no longer up to them. Circuits are easy to copy, but integrated circuits are not so easy. In this field, we have great influence and voice."

Gao Zhendong's idea actually has the intention of tying us to this chariot. Once we are on this boat and there are enough benefits, it will be much easier to drive continuous investment. Perhaps compared with his previous life, the development of this field will improve.

Different from what we might imagine, even at this time, we are not afraid to talk about money. Economic issues have always been an important part of our work. After all, the economy is related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

Moreover, we are much better at developing the economy than those people in the transport brigade. During the Anti-Japanese War, in a considerable part of the tense areas, the border currency was stronger than the legal currency and counterfeit currency. That was not achieved by luck.

So Gao Zhendong was willing to take a little risk and put forward this suggestion.

If everything is stable, then there's no need to do anything.

"Well, your idea is not entirely unreasonable, but we have to think about it carefully and report to our superiors." Seeing that Gao Zhendong's arguments were convincing and well-organized, and that his reasons were not perfect but at least they were well thought out and had their sources, the leaders of the Defense Work Committee felt relieved. As long as there was nothing wrong with his brain, everything else would be easy.

Gao Zhendong did not push it too far. He just proposed it and guided them to think in this direction. As for the result, he did not force it. He only needed to consider the development of IT technology. As the people in charge of the overall situation, they had a lot of things to take into account.

One's own ideas are not necessarily the best. Gao Zhendong, who has rich experience in keyboard politics in his previous life, understands this very well.

Putting this matter aside, the attention of several ministry leaders turned back to the computer on the desk.

"Zhendong, come on, come on, give this thing a name, otherwise it will be difficult for the propaganda comrades to deal with it."

They had just discussed that this thing had to be promoted! Gao Zhendong himself had to be promoted as well!
Anyway, Gao Zhendong has long been famous in the computer field and has even been to the United States. It is also a good idea to make him a key figure in the computer field.

Gao Zhendong was simple and crude about this.

"The processor chip is C6108. C is the first pinyin of processor, which also means core or center in English. 61 is the year, and 08 means 8-bit processor."

Gao Zhendong's naming method actually has a subtle flavor of paying homage to C8008, but the letter C is really useful!
“Oh, C, it’s still that C, hahaha.” The leader of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building laughed. This kid used the C language routine again, and it turned out to be quite useful.

The leaders of all the ministries and commissions knew the origin of C in the C language and laughed, thinking that it was a good name.

"As for the memory chip, let's say it's C6110. C is the first letter of the memory chip, 61 is the year, and 10 means its storage capacity is 2 to the 10th power."

You see, the letter C is super useful and can be placed anywhere.

Directly indicating the capacity at the end of the model number is also one of the common naming methods for storage chips, and this naming method is mostly based on bits, not bytes.

"Well, that's a good suggestion! It's catchy and the technicians can tell the capacity of this thing at a glance."

As for the machine itself, it's simple, DJS-61.

This is the origin of a famous question on a certain question-and-answer website in the world.

——"How do you evaluate the many achievements named after 61 in the history of science and technology in my country? What happened in 1961?"

The answer with the most likes is not very serious - "Cyber ​​Deus Ex!"

At this time, several leaders of ministries and commissions were watching Gao Zhendong's demonstration and discussing the future of the machine. They were also waiting for the arrival of comrades from the propaganda department, not from the Third Rolling Mill, but from the Daily News.

For an achievement of this level, the publicity level of the Third Rolling Mill is really not enough.

Gao Zhendong may not take it seriously, but they cannot. In their view, sloppy propaganda is irresponsible.

This computer has all the foundations of the general-purpose computer first proposed by Gao Zhendong.

Ease of use, scalability, compatibility, reliability, economy, maintainability...

——The future is here!
This is how they feel.
