Chapter 098: Illuminating reality with science fiction

When he thought about it, he did it, and Xu Guo immediately collected information about computers. Fortunately, this information was quite easy to collect. After all, the vacuum tube computer eniac was invented in 1946.

Shortly after that, specifically in 1950, Sergey Alexeyevich Lebedev, director of the Institute of Electronic Technology of the Proletarian Union, led his subordinates to develop the first electronic tube computer "mesm", the Proletarian Union.

Because the system engineering is good, it only used 6,000 vacuum tubes to build the entire system, so it consumes only 25 kilowatts of power. Because fewer electronic tubes are used, the entire system has low power consumption and low failure rate.

As for the calculation speed of about 3,000 operations per second, although it is not as good as the eniac that operates 5,000 operations per second, its vacuum tubes are only one-third of that of eniac, and the machine has low power consumption and low failure rate. In terms of operational efficiency, it is stronger than the always bad eniac.

Both computers can find some basic data on public information. Of course, the computer data of the Proletarian Alliance was found by Xu Guo who asked his classmates to help find and translate it.

After collecting these basic data, Xu Guo began to write his own novels. In order to promote the development of semiconductors and the research of computers, Xu Guo felt it was necessary to find more uses for computers.

Of course, the purpose that Xu Guo envisions now is definitely not possible for games or the like. At this stage, electronic computers are still very expensive tools. Someone once said that around the world is about 5 giant computers enough.

Therefore, Xu Guo’s novels say that in the future, every university will begin to be equipped with computers and will begin to have special computer classes for each engineering student to study.

The reason why computers have reached such popularity is entirely because our country has chosen a new R&D direction. This R&D direction is large-scale integrated circuits.

In order to realize large-scale integrated circuits, scientists printed silicon-based semiconductor materials of different properties onto substrates in batches through printing. As for the reason for using silicon-based semiconductor materials, of course, it is because silicon and germanium are tetravalent elements, but silicon is cheaper and easier to obtain.

After printing the silicon-based semiconductor material, a protective film needs to be covered on it, and then holes are opened at the wiring of the printed transistors, and the circuit is printed through these openings.

Because the circuits of electronic computers are very complex, a layer of printed circuit is not enough to handle complex connections. This is a layer of protective film that scientists covered on the printed circuit, and then printed new circuits on these protective films.

Depending on the complexity of computer circuits, this superimposed printed circuit can range from several layers to dozens of layers.

After getting the last circuit number of the circuit, the designer will leave a circuit interface around the last circuit. All other parts outside the circuit will be packaged together to avoid short circuits caused by insects, dust, etc.

The stability and performance of electronic computers produced in this way have been greatly improved. Because they are produced by printing, computers have become mass-producible and are very cheap.

Because of the summary of these reasons, every Chinese scientific research college in the future will be equipped with electronic computers. In order to adapt to new equipment and improve work efficiency, every college student will also start to learn to use electronic computers when entering school.

Finally, through a large number of equipment electronic computers, Huaxia saved a lot of research and development time in the process of catching up with advanced countries.

After writing the novel, Xu Guo finally realized that his novel was so hard that it could not be harder. He did not pursue any writing style at all. It was just a summary of some plausible descriptions of some technical details.

However, he felt that such an article should be inspiring. As for the writing style, it was not necessary at all, because he probably wouldn't be able to publish this article.

After finishing this article, Xu Guo finally had the confidence to go to Professor Huang Kun. Of course, in the name of his return, he was going to ask Professor Huang Kun if there is a possibility of realization of such a science fiction idea?

The necessary etiquettes to be prepared before going there. After all, the etiquette has been around for a few weeks, and you may be able to make friends. After all, Professor Huang Kun is only over 10 years older than him. For this reason, Xu Guo found a box of packed snacks from the space as a souvenir.

Remember to visit the souvenir, of course it is difficult to go directly to the office. Xu Guo specifically asked Professor Huang Kun’s address and found a weekend to visit him.

After knocking on the door twice, a woman in her 30s opened the door.

"Hello, is this Professor Huang Kun's home?"

"Yes, who are you?"

It was not surprising that there were students coming, but this was the first time that the students were still wearing souvenirs at the age. Yuan Yinyun was not sure whether she was a relative or friend from her husband.

"I am a freshman in economics at Beidu University. My name is Xu Guo. Today I mainly want to ask Professor Huang Kun about semiconductor issues."

"That's it, please come in quickly."

After saying that, Yuan Yinyun opened the door wide and turned sideways to let Xu Guo enter the house.

"Akun, there is a student looking for you."

When he heard his wife say that there was a student looking for him, Huang Kun immediately came out of the study. After coming out, he realized that the student in front of him was not the student he taught.

Before Huang Kun asked, Xu Guoxian handed over the prepared souvenir with both hands before saying.

"Professor Huang, please forgive me for being here today. It is mainly because I recently wrote a science fiction article that has some questions about semiconductors that need to be consulted by professionals.

After I inquired from many sources, I learned that Professor Huang, you just came back from abroad and you have a clearer understanding of the advanced technology abroad and the future development direction, so I came to ask for advice today."

After understanding the other party's purpose, Huang Kun sat down before asking.

"You are a freshman in economics majoring in writing science fiction articles. It sounds really interesting. I don't know which aspect of the problem is, so you might as well talk about it."

When Xu Guo heard the other party ask him to say something, he felt a little overwhelmed. After thinking about it, he still felt that it was more appropriate to give the other party the article to read directly.

"Professor Huang, you asked me to say it for a while and I don't know what to say. Fortunately, my science fiction article is not long, so please help me take a look."

As he said that, Xu Guo took out the article he wrote from the bag he carried with him and handed it over.

Huang Kun, opposite, saw the article he handed over, which looked like a total of about 10 pages. So Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, and just took it and started reading it.

Because I wanted to review the content about semiconductors, Huang Kun read it very quickly and finished it in a while.
Chapter completed!
