Chapter 658 WTF? !
Although the DJS-59 is not outstanding in terms of functional performance, its technical content can still strangle the necks of most countries in the world.
Such advanced technology, how dare you just make it public?
People at the Langley Center smelled something different.
When you are in doubt, seek help from an expert. Even though the word "expert" has been deliberately stigmatized on the Internet in later generations, a true expert can still defeat others.
"I dare say they are all empty talk. Let's wait and see if you don't believe me!" This is the extremely confident and powerful statement of an expert.
"That's impossible! It's just an improved version. We haven't started working on the real thing yet." This is an expert who shoulders a heavy responsibility but pretends to be ignorant even though he knows the whole story.
The people at the Langley Center are already very skilled in this method.
This time they went to find the same professor who had explained 10-micron integrated circuits to them last time with the words "You're damn sure!"
Seeing them coming, the professor frowned.
"Oh, it's you again. What bad news do you want to tell me today?"
The last time they came, the Orientals were so far ahead that the professor even felt like his "heart was broken".
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that what he was doing was garbage, and the words "born backward" lingered in his mind like a curse, unable to be shaken off.
We want to develop across generations, but it is not easy to do so. It is also very difficult to overtake on the same track.
I finally managed to calm down and regain my confidence, but oh my God, these guys are here again!
Seeing the professor's expression, the people at the Langley Center felt uneasy, but thinking about the other piece of news at hand, they felt more confident.
"Professor, maybe it's not all bad news. Moreover, technological advancement should be good news for you, right?" The people from the Langley Center said this in a soft yet firm tone. The gist of it was that it was your own lack of skills that made you unable to keep up, so don't blame me.
The professor didn't care at all: "Yes, it may be good news for me, but it may not be for you." You think I am anxious? Actually, you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet.
You’re such a nice person, the people at the Langley Center complained in their hearts.
"Professor, whether it's good or bad, just listen to my news first." After saying that, he took out the information about C6108.
"The Orientals made this thing. We think it's amazing, but we want to hear your opinion."
The professor took the information, put on his glasses and read it carefully.
"Oh my God, this is such good news!" the professor exclaimed sincerely.
"Professor, could you explain it to me more clearly?" This old guy really thinks differently from us.
The professor was in a good mood. "Let me tell you the truth with a simple example. Almost none of the big machines in your Langley Center are faster than this CPM (central processing unit) which is less than one square inch."
Since the information was directly translated, the two words "central processing" were the same as in his previous life, but the word "器" was not the Unit in Gao Zhendong's previous life. Instead, the word "machine" was used very directly. Gao Zhendong's CPU in his previous life was transformed into CPM.
This example was too simplistic and crude, and it directly broke down the defense of the Langley Center employees.
"WTF?!"
After this elegant Citigroup-style C language, the people at the Langley Center seemed to realize that they were being impolite and changed their tone.
"I'm sorry, Professor. Please forgive my impoliteness."
Although they could guess that the Orientals with 10-micron integrated circuits would have extremely amazing performance in computers, they could never have imagined that it would be so amazing. After all, they were not technical people.
The professor was very tolerant: "Don't be sorry, sir. I understand your feelings. But you don't need to ask me for confirmation. I can tell you clearly that what I said is true. I know every computer in the Langley Center."
Although he understood, his words were full of pity for the poor creature.
He said he knew every computer in the Langley Center, and Langley employees were very confident that if they were not dealing with him for a long time, the Langley Center would not have thought of contacting him first.
He was about to express his disbelief, but the professor's answer stopped him. The Langley employee asked, "Mr. Professor, do you think they can really do that?"
I believe what you say is true, but I don't believe what they say is true.
The professor thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I think you have to prepare for the worst. Although their technological development is very fast, it is traceable. It is fast, but you can see that it is developed step by step. It is very credible. As for how they can do it so fast, I don't know. I only know that they are not building the Empire State Building on the beach."
"And the reason I think this is good news is because they have at least proven that this path is feasible."
It seems that people's sorrows and joys are not shared.
"Oh my God~~~~~" the Langley employee lamented. He didn't understand the technology, but he knew very well how to use the technology. In this regard, even the professor was not necessarily better than him.
After learning about the amazing power of this Oriental achievement, he instantly thought of countless possible applications, some of which would make him feel very difficult.
"Thank you, Professor. I have to go back. I have to let the people above know all this." The Langley employee was about to leave in a hurry.
The professor stopped him and said, "Don't be impatient, sir. You said there might be more than just bad news. You should at least tell me what the good news is." The Langley employee didn't want to say more. He handed him our decision to disclose the full set of DJS-59 technology and said, "This is the good news. Maybe what they disclosed can be useful to you."
The professor sneered. The people at the Langley Center had such poor psychological quality that they couldn't bear this?
While smiling, he opened the second intelligence given to him by the Langley employee.
After a few glances...
"W...T...F!!!!!"
He let out a roar that was louder and more shocking than the one the Langley employee had just let out!
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
The loud noise and intense emotions frightened the Langley employees.
"Professor, please calm down." It seems that only when a cigarette butt falls into one's collar will one feel the pain. The professor seems to be even more out of control than himself.
"Calm down, how... the hell... do I... need to... calm down!"
The professor's mouth contained a very high level of fluoride (F), and he was spitting out his saliva with every word he spoke.
"They decided to make their technology public. Isn't that a good thing?" Langley employees were puzzled.
It is true that people do not share the same joys and sorrows. The other party has made his technology public, which in his opinion is a good thing for the professor anyway, but he turned out to be so hysterical.
The professor answered with gritted teeth: "This is not your business, sir, you should leave!"
After regaining some of his senses, he realized that even if it was just a simple reason, it would not be appropriate to tell the employees of the Langley Center. Who knows if this employee has any relatives or friends who specialize in short selling on Wall Street.
The man at Langley Center shrugged. “Yes, Professor.”
He originally wanted to ask, from a technical or industrial perspective, why the other party would disclose the technology of transistor computers, but from the professor's reaction, he seemed to understand something.
Even if two bottles of wine were put on the professor's head, he would not scream any more miserably than before.
Maybe this is the reason?
As soon as the employee of the Langley Center left the professor's office, the professor picked up the phone and made a call. While waiting for the other party to answer, his fingers unconsciously tapped on the table.
Finally, the call was picked up by the person on the other end, and the professor spoke immediately.
"Smith, we're done!"
"Professor Drinker, what are you talking about?"
"I said we're done!"
"Calm down, Drinker, is there something wrong with the computer?"
"No, it went very smoothly."
"Then what are you worried about?"
"Just now, someone from the Langley Center came to me and revealed a piece of information to me. The Orientals disclosed all the technology of their DJS-59 computer. All of it!"
"Oh my God, are the Orientals crazy?!"
"I don't know if they are crazy or not, but we are definitely crazy! Smith, I have seen it. Although the structure is different, the performance parameters of the DJS-59 they disclosed are almost the same as the latest model we are about to launch into the civilian and international markets! It is the one we spent millions of dollars researching!"
The millions of dollars these days are not the same as the millions of dollars after over-issuance in the future.
"Are you sure? But I don't think you need to worry. There are only a few countries and companies that have the ability to manufacture computers, and even if you get the technology, it won't work."
"No, the technology they disclosed is very detailed, and they only need to teach you how to solder! Any country that needs computers has the ability to make them, because they are all made of crystal diodes and triodes, without any special raw materials! Moreover, they have fully liberalized the export of DJS-59. Anyone who wants can buy it from them. The price is cheaper than ours. Moreover, they have some mature software as support!"
For the DJS-59, Drinker got something from the Gallic chickens, a little more insight.
Most countries that need computers have some technology, and this little technology is barely enough to manufacture the DJS-59.
Sometimes, being backward has its advantages. The DJS-59 is made entirely of the most basic electronic components, which makes it difficult for anyone to get stuck in its neck. The only thing that limits it is that it is too slow. As long as you can tolerate its speed, then other things will not be a problem.
Smith on the other end of the phone realized the seriousness of the problem: "Drink, calm down and tell me, is this news just coming back?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, Drinker, remember! This news must not be spread. I think I should go find the gentleman on Wall Street who wanted to acquire us last time."
