The years of red flags

After returning from the construction site, Jiang Hua was still in a good mood. If he could solve a problem, he would solve it. All problems would be solved in the future.

  "Where have you been so early in the morning?" Zheng Tong asked in confusion: "I was still waiting in the research institute, hoping to wait for you to come back to discuss some things."

  "I went to the light source factory and chatted with Academician Ni for a while." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "He is very confident. The role of this light source factory is very simple and can solve the domestic chip demand."

  "Aren't you talking nonsense?" Zheng Tong shrugged and said: "With so many authorities in the country, after repeated arguments, it would be weird if the problem cannot be solved. What is our slogan? Let's make a bold assumption. Be careful to verify it, now that construction has started, it’s basically a sure thing.”

  "Now that high technology is booming, the demand for chips is increasing, but we still have to use foreign exchange to buy them from abroad. This is a huge loss."

  Zheng Tong sent out an email package: "It came from the communication room this morning. It seems to be from the CITIC Semiconductor factory you built before in the Special Administrative Region."

  When Jiang Hua took it, you shook it. The original threads fit together and there was no sound.

  He picked up the paper knife on the table and opened the package. Inside was a small gift box made of alloy.

  Opening the lid, there were dozens or twenty things the size of two fingers placed inside. Jiang Hua had already guessed what they were.

  Zheng Tong asked curiously: "What is it?"

  Jiang Hua smiled and said: "An epoch-making tool."

  Nowadays, some people think that USB flash drives are very cheap and seem to have no technical content.

  But such an inconspicuous thing does have epoch-making significance. Before this, what mobile storage devices did people have? 3.5-inch floppy disk.

  That's right, it's that 3.5-inch floppy disk, a thin enlarged card-like thing. Many people born in the 1.44s or even the [-]s have never seen such a thing. The capacity is only [-] MB. Sometimes it stores a document. It also needs to be cut into several segments and stored on different floppy disks.

  It is said that at the end of 1996, five billion floppy disks were in use around the world, and the emergence of USB flash drives completely swept this thing into the garbage.

  It is said that after the 21st century, some countries are still using this kind of floppy disk. Yes, it is Xiaotongyang, the country that invented the 3.5-inch floppy disk. It started and ended here.

  Zheng Tong asked curiously: "What is the use of this thing?"

  "This thing has the same purpose as a floppy disk. It can be used to store files." Jiang Hua looked at the USB flash drive and said with a smile: "Look at the mark here, it can store [-] MB files."

  "A floppy disk only has a capacity of 1.44 megabytes. This thing is only so small and has dozens of times the capacity of a floppy disk. This is to completely sweep the 3.5-layer floppy disk into the garbage heap."

  Jiang Hua smiled and picked up a floppy disk and handed it to Zheng Tong: "Times are developing and technology is advancing. It has been almost 3.5 years since the [-]-inch floppy disk was introduced in [-]. It is already too late to eliminate it now. .”

  Zheng Tong held the USB flash drive and asked with a smile: "How do you use this thing?"

  "Plug it into the USB port."

  The USB interface was not invented in 1. The transmission rate is only [-] megabit per second and can only be used to connect simple peripheral devices such as mice and keyboards.

  Zheng Tong curiously inserted the U disk into the USB interface, and then saw that there was an extra partition in my computer. After double-clicking it to open it, he copied a file into it.

  "It's too slow." Zheng Tong complained: "With this transfer rate, I might as well use a floppy disk." Jiang Hua picked up the phone and called Lu Xiuying: "Hey, Mr. Lu, you sent these U disks. Of?"

  "Old leader, you received it."

  "Yes, I have received it and am trying it out. The transmission rate is too slow." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "If we look at the current rate, it may be difficult to promote your USB flash drive."

  Lu Xiuying said with a smile: "Of course we have noticed this problem and have been prepared for it a long time ago."

  "What are you preparing for?"

  "We will hold a press conference in Silicon Valley soon." Lu Xiuying said with a smile: "The USB 2.0 transmission standard will be launched together with the USB flash drive. The transmission rate will be increased to 40 megabytes per second, and it also supports hot swapping. It can be connected to a splitter. We designed a small thing that can divide a USB interface into several USB interfaces."

  "Have standards been established?"

  Lu Xiuying said happily: "Of course. These are good rules established by your old leader. Every time there is an epoch-making technology, standards must be established. Even the standard bonus can make us full."

  "This rule must be implemented." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "Because we don't pay too much attention to intellectual property rights, we have suffered a lot. Xiao Dongyang has almost registered all the Chinese medicine prescriptions in our medical skills."

  "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. I can't guarantee that our CITIC Group will definitely respect intellectual property rights elsewhere."

  Jiang Hua asked some more about CITIC Group. Generally speaking, the business is growing steadily and the profits are also growing steadily.

  "Old leader, do you want to go to the research institute to take a look?" Lu Xiuying asked with a smile, "They have some interesting stuff there."

  "You are trying to trick me into being a guide again." Jiang Hua said jokingly: "I don't know much about these things. I have been able to avoid overturning all these years because of my mistakes."

  "No, it's really interesting. It seems that they made some kind of photon computer model." Lu Xiuying said without accepting the order: "I don't understand what it means either."

  Jiang Hua said in shock: "Are you kidding me? This is a big surprise for me."

  "This is what the research institute reported to me." Lu Xiuying said truthfully: "As for the specific situation, I don't understand it. I don't understand the working principle?"

  "If you want to say that, then I really have to go and have a look."

  Photonic computers have also been made by experimental teams in previous lives, and there is even news that after our country's photonic computers have made breakthroughs, there may be no need to import silicon chips.

  But these rumors are just rumors after all, and the photon computer has never been announced, so now it is said that there is a photon computer in the research institute, which arouses great interest in Jiang Hua.

  Jiang Hua is like a child who knows where there is a new toy. He can't wait to get it for a moment. He can't wait to see it in the institute.

  "This is what you call a photon computer." Jiang Hua pointed at the computer in front of him and said dumbfounded: "It stands to reason that a future product like a photon computer should be science fiction. Why does this computer give me a very old-fashioned feeling? "

  Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a reward
