Chapter 45 Microcomputers
"Yes, we need a real lab!"
Seeing Shi Wei looking at him as if he had a little clarity, Yang Fan replied with great affirmation. As a former excellent ship designer in the Republic, he fully knew the importance of a laboratory.
Shi Wei probably considered the laboratory issues, but he did not rise to a very high level. Now he finally felt like he was clearing the fog and seeing the sun and the moon. All his thoughts became clear in his mind.
"Yang Fan, what you said is very correct. In addition to finding some excellent talents, we cannot relax our laboratory construction."
Yang Fan nodded, "Yes, both must be carried out at the same time. In terms of laboratory construction, we must first raise the needs of the site to the institute. After we have a place, we will consider the specific construction of the laboratory."
First, there must be a place, and then add test equipment, reserve test talents, etc. In Yang Fan's mind, his ideas are very clear.
The two of them talked about work for a long time and communicated with many issues. From now on, the preparations for the combat system design room have officially begun.
Yang Fan was also very efficient and quickly got the first talent, that is, Zhang Xiaodong from the overall design studio.
With the strong support of Chief Secretary Pan, Kuang Wei, director of the overall design office, unconditionally released the person, and Zhang Xiaodong officially joined the department under construction.
A month passed quickly.
The combat system design room that was originally empty and under construction finally had some people, with more than a dozen people, including middle-aged designers in their forties and fifties, as well as young designers in their forties and thirties.
The problem with the laboratory was basically solved. The institute gave an empty laboratory to the combat system design room, and the site was finally available. What needs to be done in the future is to add a large amount of test equipment.
In the office.
Yang Fan was writing a report at his desk and formally asked to buy a computer to the institute.
After writing this report, Yang Fan looked at it carefully again, and saw that there was no problem, then got up and knocked on the door of Shi Wei's office with the freshly released report.
"Team leader, the report is written, you can take a look."
The proposal to purchase a computer was the result of the two people discussing together.
As the leader of the preparation team of the combat system design room, Shi Wei certainly knows the importance of computer technology. He has been making up for some knowledge about computers these times. When Yang Fan came in just now, he was reading a thick computer book.
It’s no wonder that there are only a handful of computer people in this era, and Shi Wei was the same. He only learned some basic knowledge before, but now he needs to make up for this knowledge.
Many people may be curious about what computers looked like in the 1980s?
In fact, "microcomputers" began to appear as early as the late 1970s, and they were divided into two types: one was workstation and the other was personal computer.
The microcomputer is so small that it can be placed on an office desk, so it is also called a desktop computer. The workstation has good performance and relatively comprehensive functions. It is currently mainly used in scientific and technological computing. Personal computers have relatively simple functions, but are much cheaper.
Of course, Yang Fan is very familiar with computers.
In the 21st century, it is used almost every day in work, such as drawing design drawings, programming, three-dimensional modeling, and daily office work. Even writing a report is accustomed to using a computer, rather than writing word by word as you are now with a pen and paper.
Yang Fan had never been exposed to computers in the early 1980s, but after learning about them, he became silent. The appearance of microcomputers in this era and computers in the 21st century are no longer very different, and they also have monitors and keyboard hosts.
The difference is that it lags much behind in performance and does not have to be too damn dead. The monitor is not LCD, but a spherical imaging tube monitor that looks very bulky. The host is generally horizontal and appears to be relatively bulky, not as compact and refined as computers today.
Of course, there are few microcomputers in China at present, and many people have never even seen what they look like.
Don’t think it’s strange. In the 1960s, my country had electronic tube computers, and one machine occupied a house; later there were transistor computers, and then there were integrated circuit computers.
There were only some microcomputers in the early 1980s, but the number of them in the entire country was still very small. However, the United States and other Western developed countries began to use microcomputers in large quantities.
After reading it, Shi Wei said with a little concern: "We propose to buy three personal computers, will the above approve it?"
In fact, Yang Fan originally wanted to buy more, but considering that this thing is a rare item in China, it is not easy to buy them, so he greatly reduced the number. He bought these few units first and used them first, and then considered adding them in the future.
As time goes by, in three or five years, if you buy a few more microcomputers, the difficulty will definitely be greatly reduced. In addition, the price will definitely be cheaper, and the performance of the computer will also be greatly improved.
I will buy these few first, mainly for personnel training, so that combat system designers can understand computers and gradually become familiar with them.
Seeing Shi Wei's worry, Yang Fan gently tapped it and fully agreed with this concern. However, for the combat system design room, computers are indispensable. No matter how difficult or expensive it is, they must buy a few units first.
After thinking about it, Yang Fan suggested: "Why do I take this report and find President Pan and ask President Pan to come forward to coordinate."
Shi Wei pondered for a moment and agreed, "I think it's OK. You go to Mr. Pan first, I'll wait for your good news."
Yang Fan took the report and went out of the door, and soon arrived at Pan Jinfu's office. Seeing that the door was closed, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Pan Jinfu's voice was heard from inside quickly, "Please come in!"
Yang Fan pushed the door and walked in, "Chief Commander Pan."
Pan Jinfu put down a document that was being reviewed and said enthusiastically: "Xiao Yang is here. Have you had any difficulties in work recently?"
There is a deep sense of concern in the words.
Yang Fan said: "The work is quite smooth. The construction of our combat system design room is in progress. There are currently more than a dozen very outstanding designers, and the laboratory site is also available. The general framework is gradually being built..."
Just take advantage of this opportunity and Yang Fan briefly reported on the preparations for the combat system design room. After the report, he said, "Chief Professor Pan, I have a report here. You need to go out and coordinate and buy back what we need as soon as possible."
"Oh, show it to me."
After taking the report from Yang Fan, Pan Jinfu looked carefully and said after reading it, "You have proposed to buy three microcomputers."
"Yes." Yang Fan replied affirmatively, "Computers are essential for the design of combat systems."
Because it is difficult to purchase and because these things are essential, I have to buy them, so I found Pan Jinfu.
Chief Secretary Pan also knew the meaning and said slowly: "Computers are indeed necessary. Let's coordinate. I'll probably have to send a report in the name of Ship 052. I'll call this report."
Upon hearing this, Yang Fan was overjoyed, "Chief Teacher Pan, thank you so much."
Pan Jinfu smiled and waved, "Everyone is doing it for work, for our 052 ship, you don't have to thank me personally."
After saying this, after thinking about it for a while, Pan Jinfu asked, "Xiao Yang, after these computers are in place, are you planning to use them. Do you have any plans?"
Yang Fan showed strong confidence, "We have already figured out how to use it."
"Oh, let's talk to me about your use plan." Pan Jinfuxiao looked at Yang Fan with interest, waiting for Yang Fan to continue talking.
