Chapter 983 Su Lian’s technology!
The reason why Sulian was able to become a red empire, or even a super empire, was not because there were no talents. On the contrary, there were too many talents because Sulian's environment restricted them.
In addition, Soviet Union has developed abnormally. Except for military industry and heavy industry, it has almost given up on other aspects.
but.
Sulian's semiconductors once led the world in history.
In 1947, no one in the Soviet Union listened to Western radio stations, but Bashir Rameyev, an undergraduate at the Moscow Dynamics Institute, liked to listen to the broadcasts of Country Y Broadcasting Company.
Once, the program repeatedly broadcast the news that Country M produced the first digital computer "Eniak" at the end of 1945.
With this idea in mind, Rameyev immediately found Isaac Bruck, a corresponding academician of the Surian Academy of Sciences, and in May 1948, he became an engineering designer at the Electrical System Laboratory of the Institute of Dynamics of the Academy of Sciences.
He and Brooke quickly came up with blueprints for programming the computer.
Computers at that time were different from today.
"Eniak" weighs 27 tons and contains 17468 electron tubes. Two or three of them burn out every week, causing the computer to stop running. The guaranteed continuous working time is 20 hours, which is simply not enough to calculate the long time to the end.
"Eniac" was at a standstill half the time in order to find the burned out tubes.
Rameyev and Bruck came up with the idea of replacing electron tubes with semiconductor devices.
This simplifies the computer structure, improves stability and lifespan, and reduces energy consumption.
Semiconductor devices can operate at very high frequencies, thereby speeding up operations.
The patent application was submitted at the end of 1948, and in 1949, Rameyev was drafted into the army.
Brooke did not have people who could manually operate the electronic instruments, and replacements were difficult to find. He selected dozens of college graduates and a genius Yuri Rogachev who had not even graduated from high school.
But patents are one thing, computers are another.
The Academy of Sciences did not issue an order to build the computer (named M-1950) until April 4.
M-1 became operational in December of that year, 12 days ahead of Kiev's MESM computer.
At that time, the operating power of M country's computers was 174 kilowatts, while Sulian's was only 8 kilowatts, covering an area of 4 square meters.
Compared with the 27-ton behemoth, it looks like a baby.
The M-1 also used magnetic drums to store data, but it also had something similar to memory—just like the electrostatic conduits used in televisions.
This computer was unique for its time.
In the 20s, the first mass-produced electronic computer appeared in Sulian. They are installed in scientific research and military institutions and are used for digital communications, weather forecasting and performing various calculations.
Brooke also suggested using them to control power stations and other complex industrial facilities.
Despite his initial success, Sulian failed to maintain the rapid development of computer technology.
The problem arose after the advent of the microprocessor. In the early 70s, electronic devices became so small that they could no longer be assembled by hand.
To produce these devices, a radio electronics factory and a vacuum environment in which silicon crystals are made are needed.
At the same time, the general environment for technological competition between the Soviet Union and Western countries has changed.
During the Stalin period, no one sold Soviet computers for hydrogen bomb calculations.
In the era of Brook and Rameyev, working digital computers were only available in country M.
If you want to own a computer, the only way is to develop it independently.
During the Ilyich period, Soviet Union expanded the export of high-priced oil and began to use the money to purchase technology.
Even if it is not cheap, it is easier than independent research and development.
The Volga Automobile Plant, the Kama Automobile Plant and the first electronic computers using imitation Western microprocessors appeared one after another. Production equipment was also shipped in from abroad.
When electronic computers entered the stage of mass production, the gap between the Soviet Union and the West widened. If the Zhiguli car purchased from Fiat was ten years behind, then the computer was decades behind.
By the time the imported technology was industrialized, the West had developed new and more advanced machines.
In the early 20s, IBM and Apple introduced the first personal computers, and other companies followed.
Su Lian also proposed similar designs, such as the "Micro-80" (Micro-80), but it was not recognized by the country.
Gorshkov, deputy minister of the Soviet Ministry of Electronics Industry, said to the designers of the "Micro-80": "Young man, stop talking nonsense. You may have a personal car, pension and villa, but you cannot have a personal computer. You guys Do you know what a computer is? It covers an area of 100 square meters, requires 25 people to maintain, and consumes 30 liters of alcohol per month!"
It is conceivable that Su Lian made a wrong step and made a wrong step.
If the people at the top don’t take it seriously, it’s useless no matter how talented the people at the bottom are.
Semiconductors are only one aspect, but Su Lian really has many talents in semiconductors or computers.
For example, Moscow State University trains many science talents every year, but Su Lian himself does not pay attention to them. The few talents who were the first to develop computers in Su Lian have long been buried.
One of the most famous games in history is Goose Ross Cube.
In fact, in June 1985, Alexei Pajitnov, who was working at the Moscow Scientific Computer Center, was inspired by playing a jigsaw puzzle to create a computer based on the Electronica 6. Platform game of Goose Rose Blocks.
It was later ported to PC by Vadin Gerasimov and spread in the Moscow computer community.
It soon spread throughout the world.
However, in history, this popular game around the world, as the inventor Alexei, did not obtain a registered patent and did not make a penny. Instead, it became one of the most popular games under Nintendo.
This is just a game that is popular all over the world.
Yang Ming could see that Su Lian had a lot of talents, including talents in semiconductors, computers, and even game development.
However, from beginning to end, it was not taken seriously.
Except these.
Yang Ming also knew that Su Lian had a lot of talents, and Su Lian's technology, many of Su Lian's technologies were actually no worse than those in Europe and the United States.
Like the aircraft engine known as the 'crown jewel of modern industry'.
In addition to country M, there is also country Y.
Rolls-Royce is a famous engine company in Country Y and the largest aero-engine company in Europe. Its products include aero-engines, ship engines and nuclear power units for nuclear-powered submarines, among which aero-engines are its prestigious products. Various aero engines developed by it are widely used in civil and military aircraft around the world.
Rolls-Royce was founded in 1906 by Charles Rolls and Henry Royce. Many people confuse Rolls-Royce with Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. In fact, They were split into two separate companies back in 1973.
Rolls-Royce was acquired by Yang Ming.
However, Rolls-Royce's aero engines belong to state-owned enterprises in Country Y.
It's useless for Yang Ming to covet the Rolls-Royce engine because he can't buy it.
However, there is another country that does.
It was Sulian's aircraft engine.
All Soviet airliners and fighter jets use homemade aero engines.
Yang Ming knew that historically many domestic fighter jets also purchased aero engines from Goros.
