Chapter 623: Double Happiness for Sergeyev
After all, the circuit diagram is fully exposed, and there is no difficulty in manufacturing transistors. Even if the model of the transistor is hidden, it is easy to find out what transistor to use through testing.

The rest is not too difficult. You don’t even need to consider high-frequency circuits. The operating frequency of around 1MHz is not really high, and you don’t even need to match the trace length.

This kind of imitation is commonly known as "physical work".

Having said that, for the Russian scientists who imitated the product, being able to copy it was also a relief.

He has been making a lot of money for such a long time by his younger brother who is far behind him. He not only makes money for himself, but also for the Economic Aid Association and the country.

Originally, the Russians didn't want to copy this machine because it wasn't very fast.

But they soon discovered that although this thing was not fast, it saved electricity.

If you think it saves power it's not very useful, but it's small.

If there is no requirement for volume and weight, but it is cheap.

If you don't care about money, but it's reliable.

Not all work requires mainframes. For some jobs, there are two different efficiency levels with and without computers, even if the computer is not too fast.

This is not the fastest computer, but it is the one with the widest range of comprehensive indicators.

Gan!
This is how the Russians fell into the encirclement of DJS-59.

Come on, buy it, there are DJS everywhere...

So when the Russians finally had to organize people to start imitating the DJS-59, their mood was extremely subtle.

Fortunately, the technical skills of the southern comrades are always limited. Although their products have ingenious ideas and high technical content, the technical foundation required is extremely simple.

It's just a triode, it's just a double-sided board, is there anything else?

During the imitation process, even the Russian scientists thought, "Is that all?"

But the bad thing is that during their imitation process, Comrade Nan Fang repeatedly enhanced the functions of DJS-59 through software and peripherals.

Assembly language, editing environment, C language, modems, communication software, email, printers, operating systems...

This forced Davari, who was imitating this thing, to stop the imitation work again and again and evaluate the possibility of applying these new technologies to the imitation results. If these new technologies cannot be applied to the imitation results, then the imitation will lose its meaning.

This kind of thing may seem incredible to later generations who were fed comfortably by the Wintel alliance when general-purpose computers were rampant, but it was perfectly normal in the early days of the development of computer technology.

Fortunately, the abilities of the comrades in the South are limited, and they cannot impose too many restrictions on their own achievements.

The imitation work was suspended and restarted again and again.

Finally, the comrades in the south seemed to have exhausted all the wonderful ideas in their minds and stopped at the operating system.

The Davaris who were in charge of the imitation work were finally able to complete their task quickly without being affected.

Today, all of this has come to fruition. Comrade Nan Fang’s DJS-59 is not difficult. For us, it is just a very simple thing. As long as we are willing, we can pick it up by lowering our heads.

This is not a major technological victory, but it is an important step towards freedom from torture.

The bearded man grabbed the Mediterranean and said, "Comrade, congratulations! Now come with me to report to Comrade Sergeyev and tell him that he can reject the southern comrades harshly."

In fact, the bearded man had no prejudice or hatred towards his southern comrades. It was just that the tortuous imitation process made him feel resentful.

Two hours later, in Comrade Sergeyev's office, Sergeyev met the bearded man and the Mediterranean.

Seeing the happy look on the bearded man's face, Sergeyev, who knew the specific work he was responsible for, also smiled.

"My dear comrade Vitali, it seems that you have brought me good news."

"Comrade Sergeyev, I do have good news for you, great news." Vitali smiled widely and turned to look at the Mediterranean Sea: "Comrade Anatoly, come and report."

Mediterranean took out two test reports and pushed his glasses up: "Comrade Sergeyev, I am very happy to report to you that we have completed the imitation of Comrade Nan Fang's transistor computer, and it was very successful!"

Although he had expected it, this clear good news still made Sergeyev overjoyed: "I knew it, I knew it! Comrade Anatoly, please be more specific." He actually had no interest in the details. As the person in charge of civilian trade, he did not understand these details, but he just wanted to keep his good mood going for a while while listening to the report.

Although I don’t understand it, it feels great.

Anatoly readily accepted the advice, picked up the report in his hand, and gave a detailed report on the electrical testing and functional testing process of the imitation product.

His report was extremely detailed, covering everything from every parameter to every software, no matter how big or small. In the process, he did not forget to highlight Comrade Vitali's leadership role.

This made Vitali very satisfied, Anatoly was a good Davari!
The lengthy report made Sergeyev a little sleepy, but he still forced himself to stay awake. Compared to this, the joy of being freed from the shackles occupied more space in his mind.

"Comrade Sergeyev, this is the situation. I can responsibly assure you that we can completely produce transistor computers with the same specifications and performance by ourselves."

Anatoly finally finished speaking, and Sergeyev applauded: "Well, my good comrade, this is the best news I have heard today. I think you can also tell me a figure, how much money can we save from it? And how much benefit can we get from the economic assistance countries?"

At this question Anatole fell silent, as if calculating.

After a long while, he spoke with difficulty: "I think, in a year, we will be able to save a lot of money."

This answer caught Sergeyev off guard: "One year later? Why one year later? Are you telling me that we can't save money within this year? Comrade Anatoly, we don't need to spread the R&D expenses into the costs. Why can we do that only after one year?"

Anatoly didn't say anything, Vitali spoke first: "Comrade Sergeyev, maybe our production process involves more links than theirs, or maybe they are eager to obtain foreign exchange and adopt a low-price strategy. In short, within a year, our production price is more than 15% higher than their export landed price."

This made Sergeyev feel even more suffocated than Anatoly's words just now: "Comrade Vitali, you mean that in fact our domestic production price is far higher than their export price, and even Comrade Anatoly's 'one year' is just a hope that can't see the light?"

Vitali nodded: "This is the actual situation, Comrade Sergeyev. Our production links are more than theirs, and the inspections we need to go through are stricter than theirs, and the standards are stricter than theirs..."

The price is also higher than theirs, he added silently in his heart.

Sergeyev was a little depressed, but he soon became happy again.

"Okay, okay, this is not bad news. Although the country has paid more money, the money remains in the country. Our comrades in every link have been trained, right?" he said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Comrade Sergeyev, you are absolutely right, that's the situation! All comrades have been trained! At least, we can produce this thing ourselves, without spending money or anything else besides money."

In a way, they are right.

As a country, it is best to buy resources from others, but it is best to use your own industrial products, especially high-tech industrial products.

Even if these two options may cost more book benefits, as long as they are still within a reasonable range, then this is the best option.

Sergeyev became happy again: "Yes, my dear Davari, money is corrupt, and being able to produce is the most important thing. As for the little benefits of the Economic Aid Association countries, give them to the comrades in the south. I think they need them more."

For the same product, the purchasing price in our country is already 15% higher than the other party's export price. It is hard to imagine how much higher the export price would be.

The countries in the Economic Cooperation Council are not fools. They would not buy the expensive imitations instead of the cheap genuine ones. Under normal circumstances, they would never make such a trade decision unless they are forced to surrender with AK.

At this point, everyone present was in high spirits and the office was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

There was a knock on the office door, and with Sergeyev's voice, Petrovich walked in, holding a document in his hand and looking excited.

"Hahaha, Comrade Sergeyev, look what good news I brought you?" As soon as he entered the door, he raised the documents in his hand.

This put Sergeyev in a better mood.

We have finally been able to break free from the computer control of our southern comrades, and now Petrovich has brought us more good news.

Whatever the news is, just look at the smile on Petrovich's face and you'll know it's definitely a good news for everyone!

"Petrovich, come on, there's so much good news today!"

Petrovich handed the document in his hand to Sergeyev: "Our lovely southern comrades officially informed me today that the price of DJS-59 computers will be reduced by 10%. At the same time, they will also open up another new type of computer for export to us! Look, this new type of computer is definitely a good thing!"

Xie, Wei, A: “??!!”
