Chapter 822: The Jumping Maozi and the Calm Gaul

At first glance, this single-cylinder diesel engine doesn't seem to be outstanding in any way.

Fuel consumption, average.

Power, general.

Efficiency, average.

The only thing that stands out about its performance is its lifespan, which is extremely long. It is truly rugged and durable.

There is only one reason: piling up materials, not just the quantity but also the quality.

Being tough and durable is the most important thing for developing countries. As for other parameters, as long as they are within the normal range and not too bad, it's fine. The only thing is that the lifespan should be as long as possible.

The structure should be simple, maintenance should be easy, the fuel consumption should be rough, and the lifespan should be long. Don't worry about other indicators. The most important thing is that it is usable and not troublesome. No matter how good other indicators are, if they cannot be used, everything will be in vain.

Some foreigners didn't want to go back and surrounded the staff at the booth. For a while, some spoke Chinese, some spoke Maozi, and some spoke their native language when they got anxious...

"Sir, can this diesel engine be ordered immediately?"

“What should we do if the rated life span is not reached?”

"Comrade, what is the minimum order quantity?"

"Mr. Davari, how long is the delivery time?" Even some Russians were tempted. The price and lifespan of this thing were really tempting.

The staff at the booth had a smile on their faces and had to signal the guests to line up, otherwise they couldn't get their work done.

Decades later, some Chinese people who traveled or worked in certain countries could still see this type of diesel engine. Although they were old and covered in oil and mud, and seemed to be out of breath when started, they still kept working "click-click-click", bringing people perhaps some light or a clear spring of water.

At the same time, they are also listed as part of the "essential doomsday supplies" by survivalists. Survivalists' evaluation is - "This thing may be very noisy, vibrate violently, or be filled with black smoke, but it can move and give you the power you need. When you have a choice, I advise you not to use it, but you must prepare one, it may be your last hope."

Of course, some guests have no interest in these machines. They come here just for the most famous thing - the computer.

In the past two years, the computers of this country have been inferior to those of the big brother Russia, and even the leader of the Western camp, the Citigroup, in some aspects.

We did not disappoint them. As one of the highlights, computers naturally occupied a large area of ​​the booth.

For comparison, an M-3 vacuum tube computer imported from the Russians was also placed here as the background of the computer exhibition area. This thing is really too big and too long. When placed there, it is so huge compared to other computers that it naturally becomes the background.

The reason why it is "it" instead of "they" is that despite the large area occupied by the M-3, there is actually only one unit.

What's more, this thing, which we think is extremely outdated, is not even available for purchase, let alone production, in quite a few countries.

However, this arrangement made the old Russian a little upset: "They are so rude."

If this kind of computer is placed somewhere else, it is a reflection of their technological strength, but if it is placed here, it can only highlight the "heavy sense of history."

Compared with the computers on the official booth in front of it, the contrast is too stark.

In front of it, there is a DJS-59 with two cabinets including magnetic core storage, a DJS-60D with half a cabinet, and a DJS-61 in a small box.

These three machines clearly show the development of our computers. Yes, that also includes the M-3 that serves as the background wall. That was our starting point. Although Gao Zhendong later appeared and we took another path, making the M-3 and its imitations a swan song, this does not affect the fact that it is our starting point. Facts should be respected.

Most of the people who come here are familiar with DJS-59, but except for the Russians and Gauls, not many people are familiar with DJS-60D.

As for the DJS-61 placed in a glass cabinet and marked not for sale, as well as the two small chips placed next to it, most people have never heard of it. A very small number of professional practitioners have only seen reports and blurry photos, but have never seen the real thing.

Therefore, the most people gathered in front of this glass cabinet. Some people who couldn't squeeze in were drooling at the DJS-60D from outside the crowd.

"Oriental computers have actually developed to such an extent. Look, with just a few circuit boards, their computing power is basically on the same level as the M-3."

The contrast is so strong that some people feel it is unreal.

However, what caused the most heated discussion was the set of items in the glass cabinet that were not for sale. The reason given was that the production capacity was too low and normal supply could not be achieved.

"Masterpiece! The ultimate masterpiece! It's hard to imagine that the computing power of this chip is three times that of DJS-59!"

"The magic of the southern comrades, I hope to get this chip."

"Why don't they sell it? This is discriminatory!" Everyone thought the reasons given in the display cabinet were nonsense. For some countries and some needs, they don't need too high production capacity. The only problem they need to solve is whether they have it or not.

As long as they can get it, the other party doesn't care how much money they pay. After all, under this kind of demand, money is the least important. They also don't care whether they can get large-scale supply. For them, a little bit is enough.

But the three big words "Not for sale" on the glass display case made them feel indignant. Why put it on display if you're not going to sell it?
If they had only seen reports before and had no real-life comparison to make them feel deeply, then now the small 30cm square case, the description that it was three times faster than the DJS-3, and the huge M-59 behind it as a comparison, directly broke down all people's psychological defenses.

The impatient old Russian even cursed: "Sukabulie! Southern comrades can't just monopolize the technology, at least they can't monopolize the products! My Davari, I need your foreign affairs department to protest to them!"

People in the foreign affairs department, especially the military counselors, were actually more anxious than him, but they were powerless: "My dear comrade, we cannot protest against this. The accusation of monopoly is effective for Western companies, but it is meaningless for a country, especially a country like the South."

"Mr. Davari, do you know what this equipment means? It means that our missiles can be more accurate, calculations can be faster, and control can be more precise. The efficiency of many scientific research can be greatly improved!" If the last three are somewhat vague and difficult to verify, then the first one, "missiles can be more accurate," is very important to the Russians.

The Russians today are racing toward Su-song’s “missile omnipotence theory”, and anything related to missiles is very important to them.

Looking at the example of the π calculation program running quickly on the computer screen, the Russian computer experts who came specially for the event were itching to try it out. As π calculation is one of the standard benchmark programs for the DJS series of computers, they knew very well that this small computer in front of them had a computing speed that was disproportionate to its size.

"I understand your feelings. We can launch more efforts, but it will take time, my comrade."

The people in Lubyanka finally understood why they tried everything but couldn't get a glimpse of the man named "Gao Zhendong" from afar. The machine in front of them was made by him, and the Russians would have handled it in the same way. Some of the technologies he researched could be made public, but it was impossible to meet him in person.

Unlike the Russians who were furious, the Gauls looked at the machine with appreciation.

"Artwork! Artwork made of electronic technology!" As an old Seine man of the Plain White Banner, Gaul naturally mentioned "art" every three sentences.

"It's so beautiful! These two chips are full of the most advanced technological beauty." You talk about art, I talk about beauty, the Senna flavor cannot be lost.

However, the top high-tech achievements really show the beauty of technology, so their words are not too far-fetched.

The reason why they did not feel discriminated against when watching DJS-61 was because they knew that this was not the ultimate of Orientals, and that the most ultimate technology of Orientals had been promised to them under certain restrictions.

They believed that the Orientals had a better computer, and that the performance of this computer was three times that of the DJS-61 that amazed these people in front of them - the Orientals promised to provide a computer that was 10 times more powerful than the DJS-59, which was almost three times the performance of the DJS-61 in front of them.

If the Gauls had any doubts about our promise, after seeing the DJS-61 and C6108, such concerns were quickly thrown out of their mind. No promise is as effective as seeing it in person.

With our promise, the Gauls were full of confidence, and the look they gave the Russians seemed to indicate that they were just waiting for the fun.

Unlike these two companies, many guests from the economic assistance countries were very self-aware and did not even consider the DJS-61 that had been marked as "not for sale", but instead surrounded our staff.

What they are concerned about is the DJS-60D which has been officially and completely released for export.

Even though we have made the technology of DJS-59 public, there are still not many countries that can successfully copy it. However, for quite a few countries, computers are still needed. This is different from the situation after the Russians, when many countries let their guard down and outsourced their security. At present, all countries with a certain level still attach great importance to the autonomy of defense and technology.
