Chapter 343

After a week, the matter of Xiangjiang black cloud group was basically handled. For the battle between Swire and foreign banks caused by the siege of reporters at the airport, the Charter King took the blame and resigned the chairman of the Jockey Club, and heiyun group cancelled all HSBC accounts. It can be said that there was no winner, baozixuan did not achieve its strategic goal, the schweiya family increased its liabilities, HSBC lost 150000 customers and 100 billion deposits. If it were not for the rapid development of black cloud group, HSBC would not have so many cash reserves. Now I can take out so much money, thanks to baozixuan. The only beneficiary may be RB Sumitomo Bank, but who can tell the future!

Baozixuan understands the historical trend, with the deepening and acceleration of China's reform and opening up. Many large-scale equipment and industrial computers are needed in the future. At present, a full set of technical data has been purchased for large-scale equipment in Germany and the United States, together with the supply of raw materials from the Soviet Union. Production and assembly in Xiangjiang is no longer a problem. The only deficiency is that baohuodong mining company has not been put into operation, and the steel output may not go up. Fortunately, there is not so much demand in the market, and everything is mainly based on technical reserves.

Seeing IBM enter the notebook computer industry without wasting profits! Baozixuan has long wanted to enter the field of large-scale industrial computers. This is an opportunity, but in order to confuse Americans, the CPU used in this large industrial computer is all Motorola chips. Black cloud is also discussing whether to use its own chips, but baozixuan should not expose his strength too early after careful consideration.

In addition, the operation of Motorola chip is very stable, and the performance of the chip designed by black cloud itself can not meet the requirements. We can only wait until arm grows up and gradually improves. Now, heiyun's own engineer reserve is not in place.

At the same time, in order to meet the need of confidentiality, there are two teams in black cloud developing large-scale industrial computers. One in the United States and one in Xiangjiang. The information on both sides can be shared. Once the required equipment is finalized, mass production will begin immediately. At the same time, the purchased parts are also transported back to Xiangjiang for storage in large quantities.

After the good news came from the American team, baozixuan left Xiangjiang and boarded the charter plane to the United States. The main reason is that large industrial computers will appear at the Los Angeles electronic technology exhibition. Baozixuan also needs to be familiar with it in advance and improve the system.

At the end of February 1981, baozixuan returned to the United States again. Now for him, he will choose charter flights every time he travels, which is more convenient, and there can be more accompanying people. After all, with the increase of wealth, the security problem can not tolerate any carelessness.

When he came to the black cloud computer headquarters in Cambridge, baozixuan looked at the final assembly and debugging. The behemoth in front of us is the large-scale industrial computer developed by the black cloud engineer team in recent two years. This is also based on many IBM design concepts and the future development direction of industrial computers instilled by baozixuan into the whole team; To have this epoch-making product.

Bao Zixuan looked at Professor Harry Roland and and said, "is the professor satisfied with the performance of our computer?"

This time, the computer is still thanks to the assistance of professors and graduate students at MIT. Without them, it will take at least two years to achieve this performance. For fear of patent disputes, baozixuan paid the school $20 million in R & D funds. And after the completion of research and development, donate 10 mainframe computers to the school free of charge; It is estimated to be more than $20 million.

Technology is controlled by others, and there is no way. But fortunately, the first batch of enrollment of Yulin Institute of technology is mainly computer science, which can be regarded as filling the gap.

Harry Roland: "I didn't expect you to develop this big guy. Now it seems that the blue giant has a strong opponent. This is not a bad thing for them, but you should be careful in the future. When they reflect it, they don't care. "

Harry Roland said that since the advent of the IBM 360 large-scale industrial computer and its later improved models, the blue giant has occupied more than 90% of the market share with its technical advantages. This was a serious violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act, so IBM began to be investigated. It was not until 83 that the case ended, which to some extent restrained the development of IBM. Otherwise, with their technical reserves, they must be the first to develop the first home computer.

Bao Zixuan: "society is developing. We can't always look ahead and backward. Now I just want to change the world, others will comment. "

Harry Roland: "let me introduce you to the performance of this computer! The computer weighs 2.5 tons, uses 8000 Motorola 68000 chips, and has an average computing speed of 3.8 million times / s; The peak computing speed can reach 5.18 million times / second. "

Bao Zixuan: "so our average computing speed is 1.5 times that of the ibm370, and the peak computing speed is twice that of him. In addition, we seem to have several more interfaces than it, which can accept more data operations. Can perform more tasks at the same time. "

Harry Roland: "in principle, but there are still some deficiencies in the software. You're back! You are mainly responsible for the next work. The laboratory task has been completed. "

Bao Zixuan: "no problem. I have tested the new software many times on Xiangjiang prototype 2; There are no obvious vulnerabilities. This time, you are guiding me. I think the software will be more perfect. "

Harry Roland certainly knows that baozixuan also has an R & D team in Xiangjiang. It is better to say that the R & D team is a student from the United States than from the United States. But after all, it's someone else who pays, and he can't say anything. The most important thing is that all expenses are in the charge of black cloud computer company. If you earn money you can't earn in your life at MIT, what's not enough!

Harry Roland: "I can't guide you with your achievements in the computer industry, but I think you should settle down and actively invest in R & D. Now the computer technology is changing rapidly. I can't keep up with the rhythm. I hope you can communicate with you more. "

Bao Zixuan: "thank you for your education. Recently, in addition to going to Los Angeles to attend the exhibition. I will finish my studies at school and graduate in a few months. Although I don't have much time to come to school, I really don't want to be here. "

Harry Roland: "I really decided to go back. What about the company here!"

Bao Zixuan: "everything is the same. My mother is not in good health. I also want to come back to him early, but I will often come here, but I can't be a student anymore. "

Harry Roland: didn't you build a university in Xiangjiang! What's the situation now? "

Bao Zixuan: "the first batch of freshmen will be recruited in September this year, mostly internal selection. After all, there is no fame, but also need to be improved. If you want to come and teach computer science, the dean's position is reserved for you. "

Harry Roland: "I'll think about it. I heard that Xiangjiang is a rich and beautiful place. I really want to see it. "

Bao Zixuan: "even if you don't want to teach, you can take your family on vacation or visit me."

Baozixuan knew that before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States would not compete with China on a large scale. Moreover, the two countries have just established diplomatic relations. At this time, the relationship is still good. At present, Xiangjiang has not returned, and the restrictions on Xiangjiang in the high-tech field are not strong. How many good things you can get depends on your ability. There will be no shop after this village.

After returning to the United States, baozixuan really entered the daily life of a software engineer. In addition to going to school, he wrote and debugged programs in the laboratory every day, trying to be perfect.

With the continuous exploration of vulnerabilities and problems, the software is also further optimized. The comprehensive performance of the black cloud industrial computer has been improved by at least 30%, and the computing speed is twice that of the IBM 370 / 168.
