Chapter 983 Su Lian’s Skills!

The reason why the Soviet Union could become a red empire, or even a super empire, was not because it lacked talents. On the contrary, there were too many talents, and the environment of the Soviet Union restricted it.

In addition, the Soviet Union was a deformed development. Except for military industry and heavy industry, it almost gave up other aspects.

However.

Soviet semiconductors were once the world leader in history.

In 1947, no one in the Soviet Union listened to Western radio stations, but Bashir Rameyev, a dropout from the Moscow Institute of Power Engineering, liked to listen to the broadcasts of the Y Country Broadcasting Company.

Once, the program repeatedly broadcast the news that the first digital computer "ENIAC" was developed by the United States at the end of 1945.

Rameyev, who had a flash of inspiration, immediately found Isaac Brook, a corresponding member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, with this idea, and became an engineering designer of the Electrical System Laboratory of the Institute of Power Engineering of the Academy of Sciences in May 1948.

He and Brook quickly took out the design drawings of the programming computer.

Computers in that era were not the same as they are now.

ENIAC weighed 27 tons and contained 17,468 electron tubes. Two or three of them burned out every week, causing the computer to stop running. The guaranteed continuous working time was 20 hours, which was not enough to carry out long calculations.

ENIAC was stopped half of the time to find the burned-out electron tubes.

Rameyev and Bruck thought of using semiconductor devices to replace electron tubes.

This simplified the computer structure, improved stability and life, and reduced energy consumption.

Semiconductor devices can work at very high frequencies, thereby speeding up calculations.

The patent application was submitted at the end of 1948, and in 1949, Rameyev enlisted in the army.

Bruck did not have people who could manually operate electronic instruments, and it was difficult to find replacements. He selected dozens of college graduates and a genius who had not even graduated from high school, Yuri Rogachev.

But patents are one thing, and computers are another.

The Academy of Sciences did not issue an order to manufacture a computer (called M-1) until April 1950.

The M-1 began operation in December of that year, 10 days before the MESM computer in Kiev.

At that time, the operating power of the Russian computer was 174 kilowatts, while the Soviet computer was only 8 kilowatts and occupied 4 square meters.

Compared with the 27-ton behemoth, it was like a baby.

The M-1 also used magnetic drums to store data, but there was something similar to memory - just like the electrostatic conduits used in televisions.

This computer was unique at the time.

In the 1950s, the first mass-produced electronic computers appeared in the Soviet Union. They were installed in scientific research and military institutions for digital communications, weather forecasts and performing various calculations.

Brook also suggested using them to control power stations and other complex industrial facilities.

Despite the initial success, the Soviet Union failed to maintain the rapid development of computer technology.

The problem arose after the advent of microprocessors. In the early 1970s, electronic devices became so small that they could no longer be assembled by hand.

In order to produce these devices, radio electronics factories and vacuum environments for making silicon crystals were needed.

At the same time, the general environment for the technological competition between the Soviet Union and Western countries changed.

During Stalin’s time, no one sold computers to the Soviet Union for hydrogen bomb calculations.

In the days of Brooke and Rameyev, working digital computers were only available in the United States.

The only way to have computers was to develop them independently.

During Ilyich’s time, the Soviet Union expanded its high-priced oil exports and began to use the money to buy technology.

Even if it was not cheap, it was easier than developing it independently.

The Volga Automobile Factory, the Kama Automobile Factory, and the first batch of electronic computers using imitation Western microprocessors appeared one after another. Production equipment was also shipped in from abroad.

When electronic computers entered the mass production stage, the gap between the Soviet Union and the West widened. If the "Zhiguli" car purchased from Fiat was ten years behind, then the computer was decades behind.

By the time the imported technology was industrialized, the West had developed more advanced new machines.

In the early 1980s, IBM and Apple launched the first personal computers, followed by other companies.

The Soviet Union also proposed similar designs, such as the "Micro-80", but they were not recognized by the state.

Gorshkov, deputy minister of the Soviet Electronics Industry, said to the designer of the "Micro-80": "Young man, stop talking nonsense. You may have a personal car, pension and villa, but not a personal computer. Do you know what a computer is? It occupies an area of ​​100 square meters, requires 25 people to maintain it, and consumes 30 liters of alcohol per month!"

It is conceivable that Soviet Union made mistakes step by step.

If the people above do not pay attention, it is useless for the people below to be talented.

Semiconductors are only one aspect, but Soviet Union has a lot of talents in semiconductors or computers.

For example, Moscow State University trains a lot of science talents every year. Soviet Union itself does not pay attention to it. The talents who first developed computers in Soviet Union have long been buried.

The most famous game in history is Goose Ross Cube.

In fact, in June 1985, Alexei Pajitnov, who worked at the Moscow Scientific Computer Center, was inspired by playing a jigsaw puzzle game and made a Goose Ross Cube game based on Electronica 60 (a computer).

Later, it was ported to PC by Vadin Gerasimov and spread in the computer world of Moscow.

Then it quickly spread all over the world.

However, in history, this game that was popular all over the world, as the inventor Alexei, did not get a registered patent, did not make a penny, but became one of the most popular games under Nintendo.

This is just a game that was popular all over the world.

Yang Ming could see that there were really many talents in Sulian, including semiconductors, computers, and even these game development talents.

However, from beginning to end, they were not taken seriously.

In addition to these.

Yang Ming also knew that Sulian had a lot of talents, and Sulian's technology, many of Sulian's technologies were actually not worse than those of Europe and the United States.

Like the aircraft engine, which is known as the "crown jewel of modern industry".

In addition to M country, there is also Y country.

Rolls-Royce is a famous engine company in Country Y and the largest aviation engine company in Europe. Its products include aviation engines, ship engines and nuclear power plants for nuclear-powered submarines. Among them, aviation engines are its long-standing flagship products. The various aviation engines it develops are widely used by civil and military aircraft in the world.

Rolls-Royce was founded in 1906 by Charles Rolls and Henry Royce. Many people confuse Rolls-Royce with Rolls-Royce Motor Company. In fact, they were split into two independent companies as early as 1973.

Rolls-Royce was acquired by Yang Ming.

However, Rolls-Royce's aviation engines belong to state-owned enterprises in Country Y.

It's useless for Yang Ming to covet Rolls-Royce's engines because he can't buy them.

However, there is another country that has them.

It's Soviet aviation engines.

Soviet passenger planes and fighter jets all use homemade aviation engines.

Yang Ming knows that many domestic fighter jets in history also bought aviation engines from Rolls-Royce.
