.

Before the meeting, Xiao Qiang informed him to ask the people from the intelligence center to come together.

The Intelligence Center is directly under the Discipline Coordination Committee. Its original intention was to collect scientific information. It was screened by the Discipline Coordination Committee and provided to each researcher as a reference material for the research process.

Universal Company has used its advantages of controlling the network to screen out many useful information from the Internet.

Although the information on the Internet may not be reliable, and some materials are even false and fabricated. Even if the research results are real, the core part of it will not be placed on the Internet, but through this information, Universal Corporation can have a complete understanding of the progress of world science and technology research. After identification and screening, the direction of international scientific research is clearly presented to Universal researchers.

This is the first time that Xiao Qiang has held such a large-scale mobilization meeting since its establishment in Huanyu. Previous projects, processing chips, hard disks and other projects were all assigned to Qin Yunqiang, and their discipline coordination committee would be discussed and handed over to the specific disciplines below for research.

Because Xiao Qiang knew clearly that what he mastered was only a direction, not a specific technology.

He dared not go beyond the kitchen to replace sores. He told them how to study it. This was because he did not have this ability, and he did not want researchers to develop the habit of relying on him in everything, rather than achieving real results on the road of research.

Therefore, when various disciplines received notifications for meetings, they were stunned. I wonder if Xiao Qiang had just passed the marriage leave and hurriedly held the meeting when he returned to the company. What major scientific research projects should be handed over to them.

According to Xiao Qiang's mobilization scale, all major disciplines in applied science were dispatched. This research project requires coordination and consistency among all disciplines, which is obviously very large, and is the first since the company was established.

All the subject leaders came. Researchers who were able to withdraw from the laboratory also came. There were only a few scientists who were in the critical stage of the experiment. They were unable to put down their work and did not participate.

Dozens of people gathered in the multi-functional conference room on the tenth floor of the Universal Building and formed a circle.

They discussed what the boss would be about the theme of the meeting. Soon, they formed a consensus. The company will conduct a large-scale collaborative research.

As for the project, there are many different opinions.

The biochemistry department speculates whether it will be related to the international cracking of gene maps. Judging from the company's convening computers, optical electronics and other departments, it is very likely that they will provide technical support for biochemistry.

Originally, automation instruments were also a cutting-edge discipline. But Xiao Qiang did not ask them to come. It should not be automated robots or something.

The optoelectronics department believes that it may be a practical problem of image recognition. This project also requires the strong cooperation of the computer department and requires the help of certain medicine and biological sciences. This project has practical significance for multiple disciplines such as national defense, medical care, and geological exploration.

When Xiao Qiang entered the venue, they were fighting each other with red faces. They finally calmed down when they saw the boss coming in.

This multi-functional conference room is arranged very much like the UN Security Council venue.

The center of the conference room is sunken and is lifted step by step. The conference table is layer by layer, like a concentric circle, surrounding the central venue with several passages in the middle for participants to enter and exit.

At the innermost circle of oval conference tables, there were several subject leaders, and their main academic leaders.

The other participants sat behind them and spread out in a fan shape.

Xiao Qiang walked slowly into the outer layer. While walking, he shook hands with every researcher, and said a few simple words.

Many of these researchers cannot name them. Over the past few years, the Universal Corporation has grown too fast. The researchers have expanded from the initial 600 people to more than 3,000 now. If the researchers who have not been recruited later were sent to the African base, I am afraid that the Universal Corporation will start to expand its territory and engineers will find that their drawings will be revised again.

He asked these newly joined researchers patiently when they would join the local company, what jobs were mainly responsible for, and whether they felt they were used to it or not.

Although his grade was so light, as soon as he walked around, the researchers rushed over to shake hands with him.

What Xiao Qiang represents is no longer just a name or a symbol. It is a legend.

After a long busy day, Xiao Qiang came to the middle. He did not rush to sit down and announced the beginning of the meeting. Instead, he touched the sofa cushion and said with a smile: "The company building has been built for a long time. This is the first time I have been here. I didn't expect that the facilities here are better than the private room in the cinema. If I had known it, I should have come here earlier."

Everyone laughed in kindness.

Xiao Qiang hasn't been here, but even Huanyu Company, he has only seen it briefly. There are many places he hasn't been to in this building.

"Okay. Get back to the point. Today I ask you to take the time to attend this meeting. I hope to discuss with you the key projects of the company's future development." Xiao Qiang stood like this, looking around and speaking, "Of course, every scientific field is equally important, and no one is more important. But this refers to the pure science field. In the business field, in the practical field, some projects are of great importance. Therefore, in terms of practicality, they are relatively stronger."

He said the truth, and everyone understood that although some subjects felt aggrieved, they also admitted that this was reality.

Take the materials discipline as an example. It is a relatively low-level research project. Its research results are directly provided to optoelectronics, computers and other departments.

The same is true for sciences such as chemistry and mathematics.

People see that the real products are real products. Therefore, they only see these direct research departmental achievements, and ignore that without the efforts of these underlying researchers, many products will not be able to leave the laboratory and provide services to the public.

Therefore, these disciplines are very grateful to Universal Corporation for their contributions. This shows that the company affirmed their research results and did not forget these researchers who worked silently for other disciplines.

Now I heard Xiao Qiang say that it is a far-reaching and practical discipline, and the participants in materials science are the most silent - they will definitely not be directly related to them.

Several other departments began to whisper and press and guess whether it would be the project they just mentioned.

Xiao Qiang looked at their expressions and said with a voice: "So, I want to listen to everyone's opinions here: what is essential in national defense, technical research, engineering construction, finance and economics, entertainment and health, and plays an important role?"

As soon as he said this, the researchers thought for a moment and understood what he wanted to say.

The people in the computer department were all excited and showed a happy expression on their faces. Other departments seemed a little disappointed.

But they wouldn't just talk nonsense because of disappointment. The neat answers of the computer department were mixed with others, and they also replied: "Computer!", "Computer Technology!"

Xiao Qiang nodded and asked again: "So, what are the components that are indispensable in your research?

“Computing device!”

“Computer processing!”

"Data calculation!"

The answers are different, but the essence is the same.

All scientists will not deny the importance of computers to research work.

Modern science and technology. As the research progress continues to deepen, it is impossible to achieve results like early scientific workers. With some simple experiments alone, through the naked eye and experience, results can be obtained.

Now science requires absolute accuracy. A large amount of experimental data can be obtained in one experiment. Only by processing and comparing these data can we understand whether the experiment is successful, how far away from the target, the main research directions, and how to adjust it.

Therefore, the experimental equipment in the 1950s and 1960s can also be said to be just some electronic components and oscilloscopes that provide some relatively rough data. But now, almost all complex experimental equipment have computer components. The data detected by the equipment is calculated on-site and intuitive results are provided.

Due to the addition of computers, many of them used to require countless experiments to obtain data. Only one test of some high-precision instruments can be obtained. Complete data data can be obtained.

Some complex calculations, which can be copied by copying data one by one and manually calculated in the past, may not be able to get the correct number for a lifetime.

Its practical significance lies in that people may not be able to grasp its inevitable laws through a few accidents. It is still an early empiricist science, rather than a rigorous modern science, and does not have the conditions for practical and large-scale commercial production.

However, the emergence of computer processing system allows people to find the inevitable correct path through relatively little experimentation, and continuously improve, reduce the bad links in the middle, providing the most powerful support for the large-scale production of cheap industrial products!

The foundation of the modern technology soars lies in the rapid progress of the computer industry!

The research results achieved by using computer processing have in turn promoted the further upgrade of computers.

The two can be said to be mutually cause and effect.

Therefore, the discipline of computer science is a discipline with a huge span. It is not only a basic discipline, but also a cutting-edge discipline, but also a practical discipline!

Everyone understood what direction Xiao Qiang was going to devote his energy to.

The researchers in the materials discipline are the most kind. They all turn on their laptops, connect to the network jack under the conference table, and enter the department's research results project database. They tune out all the documents on semiconductor materials, and wait for the boss to ask about it, and they can report in detail, so they can provide support from the computer department.

The people in the optoelectronic system hesitated for a while and also made a preliminary compilation on the research progress of the optoelectronic components in the research results of this department.

Only researchers from the biochemistry department were sitting there and didn't know what they wanted to do.

They also turned on their laptops and searched through the data, but couldn't find a few items that were linked to the computer.

Xiao Qiang was quite satisfied with everyone's performance. Although other subjects seemed to have changed from the protagonist to the supporting role, they were a little reluctant, and single work was just work. They quickly sorted out a lot of information, gathered together, and discussed in a low voice how helpful it would be to improve computer performance, how difficult it is to control the cost and make large-scale production.

He asked these departments to discuss it themselves first, first asking about the computer department, current research progress, and the gap with international computer cutting-edge technology.

"You say it is a little simpler, but I can't understand it if it is deep!" Xiao Qiang said with a smile.

Everyone in the computer department burst into laughter. They all regarded this as a joke.

The work report was mainly conducted by Jiang Shenghai. He stayed at Microsoft for several years, and now he has returned to the headquarters of Universal Corporation with some advanced management experience and R&D concepts he has learned. He was the head of the Universal Corporation. He was the former deputy and the person in charge of the computer department who was temporarily in charge of the work of the computer department. Instead of going to the United States to learn how Americans manage and learn the latest progress in computer research.

Jiang Shenghai may know some of Xiao Qiang's details, and it is easy to understand: "After several years of research and physical transformation, we have made some progress, but there is still a big gap between the world's advanced level.

As for the most important process manufacturing level, our laboratory products have just broken through the micron barrier and entered the 90-nanometer field. However, even laboratory products have not been guaranteed. Especially after breaking through to the nano level, further research is very difficult. Progress tends to be delayed. It is still early to go long before large-scale production.

The commercial manufacturing level is still maintained at 1.3 micron technology, but it is already very mature.

Small-scale production can achieve one-micron technology. Single stability is also a big problem, and the cost can never be reduced."

Xiao Qiang smiled and comforted him, "Take it slow, eat it one by one. It is already very impressive that you can achieve such results. This is not like software. As long as the road is right, you can make a leap. We had a weak foundation in technology before, so we could only accumulate continuously and then seek breakthroughs."

"Mr. Xiao is right." Jiang Shenghai agreed very much. The manufacturing process will not achieve immediate results just because they increase their investment. They can only develop gradually. He calmed down and said: "Because we took the lead in the research of sound cards and graphics cards. Although we cannot achieve good market effects due to the manufacturing process level, we have entered the market early and still have a share. The most important thing is to provide a realistic basis for our research and accumulate a lot of experience. Now the competition in these two board and card markets is very fierce. We use all the profits to acquire some small bankrupt manufacturers in Europe and the United States to absorb their technology. It is estimated that there will be a breakthrough progress in another seven or eight years.

In recent years, the biggest gains in our department are still in chip manufacturing and machine design.

As Huanyu.com expands in the United States, a large number of small and medium-sized websites buy cheap servers from us.

After listening to the feedback from the container, after our continuous efforts and improvement, we have made great progress in this regard. The perfect instruction set and chip architecture issues have made breakthroughs one by one. The manufacturing level of processor-level chips has made great progress. The laboratory has produced several server-level processors with very good performance. As long as we break through the difficulties of process technology, we are confident that we will soon launch internationally competitive servers.

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Qiang praised repeatedly. "The server is a big deal. The profit of a set of servers is much better than that of a personal computer. Of course, it is much more difficult to manufacture!"

Everyone laughed.

Jiang Shenghai smiled and said: "In terms of personal desktop platform processors and hard drives, we supply products to several assembly manufacturers such as Great Wall at low prices, sometimes at a loss. From the beginning of technical problems, to now, we have basically met the customer's requirements. The market share of personal computer processors we produce has increased from a few percent to 11 percent. The price advantage of hard drives, coupled with our measures to ensure returns to bad products, has a shortage of supply.

Finally, it's software..."

"No need to mention the software. My heart has been on this in the past few years, so I can see it!" Xiao Qiang smiled and waved his hand, "You have forced Americans to file a monopoly lawsuit!"

Everyone in the computer department laughed.

Among them, the happiest and most proud of is software engineers who can force Americans to jump over the wall. This is enough to make them proud.

At this time, the discussions of other departments were almost over, and they all calmed down and waited for Xiao Qiang to ask and assign tasks.

Xiao Qiang didn't hear the answer for every last question. He asked Jiang Shenghai: "What you just mentioned is our progress and the gap between us and the international community. You haven't said it yet. What I want to hear the most is also this part."

"Yes!" Jiang Shenghai recalled in his mind and said, "Let's start with the technology. The international commercial practical technology has reached fifty nanometers, much more than us. Don't underestimate the gap of dozens of nanometers. This small gap is enough for us to catch up for several years.
