Chapter 1033 Ternary Computer!

August 5, 1985.

Monday.

This morning.

Yang Ming decided to go to the Hong Kong Science Park.

The Hong Kong Science Park is located in the northern part of the New Territories. Before this, there were only mountains and undeveloped fields. However, in the early 1980s, Yang Ming decided to build it into the Silicon Valley of Hong Kong, and the Empire Group began to invest heavily here.

In addition to the three universities invested and established.

In addition to the Oriental University, Oriental Polytechnic University, and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company is already building a subway underground, and the highway is being built above ground.

Yang Ming has been inspecting for many years.

This time, in addition to looking at other companies of the Empire Group, Yang Ming decided to take time to come here to see the talents poached from Su Lian.

In addition to Yang Ming, there are Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoxun, Alina, as well as cabinet members such as Mai Lisi, Ma Shimin, Wei Li, and Li Caixin.

Now, when going from Kowloon to the northern part of the New Territories of Hong Kong, you don’t have to go around like before, but go straight through the highway.

During the journey, there is also a tunnel through Tai Mo Shan, which greatly saves the travel time between the two places.

Along the way, Yang Ming looked outside and found that the road outside had changed a lot.

Under normal circumstances, it may take more than an hour to get there after going around, but now with the straight highway, more than ten kilometers is half an hour's journey, and it is also more unobstructed.

When he came to the intersection of Xiangjiang Science Park.

Yang Ming found that a lot of changes had taken place here.

In addition to the Xiangjiang Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Company, which was heavily invested by the Empire Group, there are many subsidiaries and 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, driven by the Empire Group, some smart families can see the importance of semiconductors in the future and have also followed to invest in the Xiangjiang Science Park.

Over time, there are more and more companies related to computers and semiconductors.

Another part is a private company established here after returning from studying abroad.

And this time I came here.

The place Yang Ming was going to was the computer talents recruited from Su Lian.

Since the first batch of 18 computer talents recruited by Yang Ming from Su Lian, several more batches have come in succession during this period. In total, there are already hundreds of these computer talents. If their families are included, there are already thousands of people from Su Lian.

These people were arranged to live in the Xiangjiang Science Park.

Among them, the place for scientific research is also here in the Xiangjiang Science Park.

"Boss, the first batch of computer talents from Su Lian are working in the Computer Research Institute." Mai Lisi introduced on the side.

Accompanied by Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Alina, Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoxuan, Chen Zhenhua, Zhang Guohua and others, they went to a computer research institute in the Xiangjiang Science Park.

This computer research institute was also invested by the Empire Group.

Among them, there are also staff from the Xiangjiang Research Institute of the supercomputer software company. It can be said that there are many talents here now.

In addition to those from Su Lian, there are also computer talents from Hong Kong, Europe and the United States, and Japan. There are nearly a thousand people, and there are also many computer projects being studied.

However, just as Yang Ming appeared here, Dr. Lin Yaqiang, the person in charge of Xiangjiang Science Park, had already appeared.

"Boss, General Manager of Mai Lisi, welcome to Xiangjiang Science Park."

Lin Yaqiang was the most important Chinese talent that Yang Ming had brought back from the United States with a high salary.

Over the years, he has been in charge of many affairs of the Xiangjiang Science Park.

It can be said that the development of the Xiangjiang Science Park, and even its prosperity, has always been witnessed by Lin Yaqiang.

"Dr. Lin, let me see the situation of those Su Lian talents."

Lin Yaqiang brought Yang Ming and others to the changing room of the laboratory, first changed into the white work clothes of the laboratory, and Lin Yaqiang introduced them on the side.

"Boss, those talents from Su Lian 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 not inferior to those talents in Europe and the United States, especially in the field of computers."

In fact, as the second largest power in the world, Su Lian attaches great importance to science and engineering. Lin Yaqiang also feels that Su Lian is indeed not inferior to the United States in this regard.

However, Su Lian gave up the research on semiconductors and computers, which made Su Lian lose to the United States and Japan in semiconductors and computers.

Yang Ming nodded.

"What are they researching during this period?"

"Boss, they are researching ternary computers."

Ternary computers?

Nowadays, computers all over the world use the "binary" digital system. Although its calculation rules are very simple, the "binary" logic cannot perfectly express the true thoughts of human beings.

In contrast, the "ternary" logic is closer to the way the human brain thinks.

Because in general, our views on problems are not only "true" and "false" but also "don't know".

In ternary logic, the symbol "1" represents "true"; the symbol "-1" represents "false"; and the symbol "0" represents "unknown". Obviously, this logical expression is more in line with the development trend of computers in artificial intelligence.

It provides the possibility for fuzzy operations and autonomous learning of computers.

Unfortunately, most of the research of electronic engineers on this non-binary system remains on the surface or form, and has not really gone deep into practical applications.

It is not that ternary computers have not appeared in the history of human computer development. In fact, in the 1950s and 1960s.

A group of researchers from Moscow State University designed the first ternary computers in human history, "CETYHB" and "CETYHB 70".

Moreover, at the beginning, both the price and performance were better than the binary computers at that time, and they had advantages that binary computers did not have. However, the Soviet bureaucrats at that time believed that it was not in line with the economic plan at that time, and as a result, the ternary computer plan was shelved indefinitely.

Although in the 1960s and early 1970s, ternary computer products had already been produced.

Unfortunately, however, Soviet bureaucrats were negative about this "science fiction product" that was not part of the economic plan.

They even ordered it to stop production. At this time, orders for "CETYHB" were pouring in from all sides, including orders from abroad, but the annual output of 10 to 15 units was far from enough to meet market demand, let alone export.

Soon, the Czechoslovak factory that planned to co-produce "CETYHB" went bankrupt.

In 1965, "CETYHB" was discontinued. It was replaced by a binary computer, but the price was 2.5 times more expensive.

In other words, although Soviet Union had already developed this ternary computer, its performance and even price were not inferior to binary computers.

Soviet Union gave up on its own initiative.

Now, these Soviet computer talents have come to Hong Kong. With the funding from the Empire Group, they immediately applied to start the re-development of ternary computers.

At that time, Dr. Lin Yaqiang was also very surprised to learn about this project.

After all, the world is now using binary computers, and he thinks it is difficult for ternary computers to replace binary computers.

However, when Lin Yaqiang asked Yang Ming, Yang Ming supported and agreed to continue the research.
