Chapter 1033 ternary computer!
1985 8 Month 5 Day.
Monday.
This morning.
Yang Ming decided to go to Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park to have a look.
The Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park is located in the northern part of the New Territories. Before, it was just undeveloped fields except for mountains. However, in the early 1980s, it was determined that Yang Ming would turn this area into the Silicon Valley of Xiangjiang, and the Imperial Group began to invest heavily here.
In addition to the three universities established by investment.
In addition to Eastern University, Eastern University of Science and Technology, and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, underground, the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company is already building subways, and above ground is building expressways.
Over the years, Yang Ming has been conducting inspections.
This time, besides looking at other companies in the Imperial Group, Yang Ming decided to take time to come here to see the talents poached from Sulian.
In addition to Yang Ming, there are also cabinet members such as Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoluo, Alina, and Mai Lisi, Ma Shimin, Wei Li, and Li Caixin.
Now when going from Kowloon to the North District of Heung Kong New Territories, you no longer need to go around like before, but go straight through the expressway.
During this period, there is also a tunnel passing through Tai Mo Shan, which greatly saves travel time between the two places.
Along the way, Yang Ming looked outside and found that there were still great changes outside the highway.
Under normal circumstances, it may take more than an hour to get there by going around in a circle. However, now with the straight highway, it is more than ten kilometers, which is half an hour, and it is also smoother.
When you come to the intersection of Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park, get off.
Yang Ming found that great changes had taken place here.
In addition to Xiangjiang Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Company, which Imperial Group has invested heavily in, there are also many subsidiaries, as well as various other semiconductor companies.
In addition, other families in Xiangjiang, including the Li family, the Bao family, the Li family, etc., have invested in semiconductor or computer-related industries here.
Historically, there were semiconductor companies in Xiangjiang, but they were very small and it was difficult to form an industrial chain.
Now, under the leadership of the Imperial Group, some smart families can see the importance of semiconductors in the future, and they are also investing in the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park.
Over time, there are more and more companies related to computers and semiconductors.
There are also some private companies that have invested and established here after studying abroad.
And come here this time.
The place where Yang Ming wants to go is to recruit computer talents from Su Lian.
From the first batch of eighteen computer talents that Yang Ming recruited from Su Lian, several more batches came one after another during this period. In total, there are hundreds of these computer talents. If their families are included, the number of computer talents from Su Lian Thousands of people have come.
These people were arranged to live in Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park.
Among them, the place where scientific research is done is also here in the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park.
"Boss, the first batch of computer talents from Sulian are working in the Computer Research Institute." Merisi introduced at the side.
Accompanied by Yang Ming, Mailisi, Alina, Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoluo, Chen Zhenhua, Zhang Guohua and others, they went to a computer research institute in Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park.
This computer research institute is also invested by Imperial Group.
Among them, there are also staff from the supercomputer software company Xiangjiang Research Institute. It can be said that there are many talents here.
In addition to those from Sulian, there are also people from Xiangjiang, as well as computer talents poached from Europe and the United States, as well as computer talents poached from Japan. There are nearly more than a thousand people, and there are also many computer projects being researched.
However, Yang Ming had just appeared here, and Dr. Lin Yaqiang, the head of Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park, had already appeared.
"Boss, General Manager Mai Lisi, welcome to Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park."
Lin Yaqiang was the most important Chinese talent that Yang Ming poached from Country M with a high salary.
Over the years, he has been responsible for many affairs in Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park.
It can be said that the development and even prosperity of Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park has been witnessed by Lin Yaqiang.
"Dr. Lin, let me see the situation of those Sulian talents."
Lin Yaqiang took Yang Ming and others to the laboratory's changing room. They first changed into the laboratory's white work clothes while Lin Yaqiang introduced them.
"Boss, those talents from Sulian were a little uncomfortable with the pace of life and work in Xiangjiang at first. However, they are very capable and quickly adapted. Moreover, I found that their abilities are no worse than those from Europe and the United States. Especially when it comes to computers.”
In fact, as the second most powerful country in the world, Sulian attaches great importance to science and engineering. Lin Yaqiang also feels that Sulian is indeed not inferior to Country M in this regard.
However, Su Lian himself gave up research on semiconductors and computers, which made Su Lian lose to Country M and Japan in terms of semiconductors and computers.
Yang Ming nodded.
"What are they studying during this time?"
"Boss, they are working on a ternary computer."
A ternary computer?
Nowadays, computers all over the world use the "binary" number system. Although its calculation rules are very simple, in fact, "binary" logic cannot perfectly express human beings' real thoughts.
In contrast, "ternary" logic is closer to the way the human brain thinks.
Because under normal circumstances, our view of a problem is not only "true" and "false", but also "don't know".
In ternary logic, the symbol "1" represents "true"; the symbol "-1" represents "false"; the symbol "0" represents "don't know". Obviously, this logical expression is more in line with the development trend of computers in artificial intelligence.
It provides the possibility for fuzzy computing and autonomous learning of computers.
Unfortunately, most of electronic engineers' research on this non-binary system remains superficial or formal, without really going deep into practical applications.
Cernary computers have not never appeared in the history of human computer development. Actually, in the 50s and 60s.
A group of researchers from Moscow State University designed the first ternary computers in human history, "CETYHB" and "CETYHB 70".
Moreover, at the time, it was superior to the binary computer at that time in terms of price and performance, and had advantages that binary computers did not have. However, the Soviet officials at the time believed that it was not in line with the economic plan at the time. As a result, this ternary computer Computer plans were put on hold indefinitely.
Although in the 1960s and early 1970s, ternary computer products were already available.
Unfortunately, however, the Soviet bureaucracy had a negative attitude toward this "science fiction product" that was not part of the economic plan.
They even ordered it to cease production. At this time, orders for "CETYHB" were flying in from all sides, including orders from abroad, but the annual output of 10 to 15 units was far from enough to meet the market demand, let alone exports.
Soon, the Czechoslovakian factory that planned to cooperate in the production of "CETYHB" closed down.
In 1965, "CETYHB" was discontinued. It was replaced by a binary computer that was 2.5 times more expensive.
In other words, although Su Lian had already developed this ternary computer, its performance and even price were not inferior to binary computers.
Su Lian gave up on his own initiative.
Now, these Sulian computer talents came to Xiangjiang. After receiving funds from the Imperial Group, they immediately applied to start the re-development of ternary computers.
At that time, Dr. Lin Yaqiang was very surprised when he learned about this project.
After all, the world is now dominated by binary computers, and he feels that it will be difficult for ternary computers to replace binary computers.
However, when Lin Yaqiang asked Yang Ming, Yang Ming supported the continued research.
