"The comments from the US side are ambiguous. The Japanese side wants us to take the entire set of machines and materials to the country of cherry blossoms to participate in the 'China-Japan Economic Knowledge Exchange Conference' held there this year. There will be many professionals at the conference..."
The audience below began to talk.
"This was the first time we made our research results public after returning to the international stage. The Japanese side did not give a good evaluation at the time. This was a big blow to our R&D personnel, and it also made us realize the gap between us and the world's technological level..."
Dean Liu looked serious. "Everyone can raise any opinions you have. Next, I will invite a few comrades who want to express their thoughts to come up and express their ideas. This is a scientific research exchange and does not involve other things. Everyone can speak freely."
"The information you have also contains a brief introduction to these two machines..."
There was a sound of shuffling papers in the audience.
Dean Liu stood on the podium, with one hand on the table, silently looking at the elites of the college below.
After waiting for a few minutes, he coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Those who are willing to come to the stage to share your ideas and suggestions can raise their hands. After my presbyopia, I can see things far away more clearly. Don't worry that I can't see your raised hands..."
The audience was happy and laughed continuously, and the atmosphere was relaxed a little...
After a moment, a middle-aged man in his forties sitting on the left side of the first row raised his hand.
After expressing his thoughts, he asked:
"Does anyone else want to speak?"
Qiu Huoming was stunned. He didn't expect that Dean Liu, who was so busy with work, would still remember his name.
"At the same time, I ask our scientific research colleagues to continue this research. I believe that in the near future, the Japanese side will take action. With their usual..."
"If the technical personnel of Sakura Country, under this situation, once again request to provide the core design data and send the machine to their country, there is only one possibility, that this technology has surpassed theirs, and they want to steal our core technology..."
Qiu Huoming was unmoved and not panicked at all. "Our researchers must be confident, especially about this kind of large machine. I participated in this year's 'Canton Fair'. At the fair, I communicated with many foreigners who came from afar... I can't say that I know everything, but I know the general framework..."
"I am against sending information, especially core information, to Japan..."
Teacher Xu introduced him to Qiu Huoming softly: "His name is Hu Qing, the head of the Computer Department. I guess he can't sit still..."
Several more teachers came up later. Some agreed with Hu Qing's statement, but more people were inclined to "seek help from outside". The country had been working behind closed doors for too long, especially some teachers who had studied abroad.
His hands were raised high at this moment.
The audience burst into applause again.
"A freshman? How can he participate in our meeting?"
Dean Liu looked around and suddenly stopped. He looked with interest at the young man sitting next to Teacher Xu in the first row.
Hu Qing waved his hands excitedly and said: "It is extremely difficult for us to buy technology from them. Why should we donate it for free if they want it..."
"Precision instruments are our weak point. If we put these aside, our large-scale machinery and chemical industry are not bad... We have the best workers, the most hardworking engineers, and countless smart scientific researchers. My opinion is that we must not hand over our core technology to the Japanese side..."
Teacher Xu pushed him and said, "Go up on stage and speak properly. Don't embarrass me."
Qiu Huoming trotted up to the podium, and the audience immediately started talking about him. He was so young, he looked like a student...
Qiu Huoming nodded silently in the audience. If Director Hu said this now, you might have a different opinion, but... looking back after more than ten years, this is absolutely correct.
"As we all know, if you are not interested in something, or think it is very low-level, you will not be interested in obtaining relevant information again and again..."
Dean Liu smiled and said, "It seems that there is another one. Come, let us welcome Comrade Qiu Huoming... to the stage to speak."
Some people recognized him and whispered to the person next to them, "Isn't this the guy who gave a speech on behalf of the freshmen last time..."
Qiu Huoming almost blurted out the word "urine", but stopped himself temporarily. At this time, our country is still in the honeymoon period of "Sino-Japanese friendship", and saying this would hinder the current friendly relationship.
There was a sudden noise from the audience again.
Qiu Huoming leaned close to the microphone at the podium and began to speak.
"Director Hu, please come on stage...Everyone welcome..."
Director Hu strode onto the podium. Dean Liu stepped aside and went backstage, where there was a chair, and he sat down.
His eyes were full of consideration, and every sentence Qiu Huoming spoke was affirmative, which means that he was certain that this would happen.
"This time in the United States, I visited many scientific research projects. The gap between us and the West is indeed huge, but I personally don't think that this gap is all-encompassing. At the same time, I am not sure..."
Upon hearing this, Dean Liu finally took a step forward and walked up from the backstage.
"I don't know. Let me hear it first..."
"Unfortunately, Professor Feng has put the plan on hold due to his health. After years of research, I don't think our large-scale computer technology will lag far behind. As for small computers, I admit that we are indeed lacking in this area..."
"You know, we have already announced the machine itself at the New York exhibition and brought some information. If it is just for identification, this part is enough."
"I am a computer enthusiast and have done some research on computers, especially computer languages. But today we are not going to talk about technology. After all, my technology is definitely not as good as everyone here. I will first analyze the abnormal behavior of the Japanese side from a psychological perspective..."
The applause stopped, and Director Hu leaned closer to the microphone. "I'm Hu Qing, from the Computer Department... Let me first briefly introduce myself. I have been working in the computer industry for more than ten years. At first, I learned technology from Lao Su and others, and later participated in the research and development of large computers in our institute. Later..."
Qiu Huoming's attitude was neither arrogant nor humble, and his pronunciation was clear. Every word was conveyed to the audience, and the noise of the crowd gradually stopped.
"At a symposium of scientists in the United States, I heard the Japanese side's direct evaluation of the machines we brought over. I felt bad. To be honest, on the one hand, I hoped they were talking nonsense, but on the other hand, I also deeply felt that they were confident in their technology, while we were just the opposite..."
"Hello, respected teachers. My name is Qiu Huoming. I am bold enough to come on stage today because I am very anxious and I don't want to give away such a good technology of ours to others."
"Based on their usual style, the counterfeit products will soon be repackaged and appear in their research sites..."
"In 76, the project was restarted, led by Professor Feng. It took us three years to develop the first Russian translation machine in China..."
Qiu Huoming was anxious after hearing this. Not long after, Dean Liu walked to the podium again and said, "Thank you very much for your speeches. Let me summarize the main focus of your conflicts..."
He paused for a moment, a pause that everyone knew.
Dean Liu’s summary was very accurate. After he finished speaking, he added:
"It seems that most people agree to send the machine and the data to Japan so that their researchers can appraise the machine. The reason I'm holding this seminar this time is because... I'm also confused..."
"Ahem." He coughed lightly and took the microphone: "Comrade Qiu Huoming, I made a very bold assumption, that is, the assumption that the technology of our Great Wall No. 1 and Dawn No. 1 has surpassed that of Sakura Country..."
He paused for a moment and looked at Qiu Huoming, "How can we prove that this hypothesis is true?"
"If they refuse to provide all the core materials, then just wait and see. They will frequently and proactively come to us to ask for what we want... This will prove the correctness of this hypothesis." Qiu Huoming smiled, his expression full of confidence.
"If you are still not sure, please invite engineers from the United States to come to our country and participate in the testing..."
There are huge cultural differences between the West and the Land of Sakura. Many Western conspiracies are overt. Even if they want to mess with you, in most cases, they do it openly.
Qiu Huoming was still wary of Sakura Country in his heart. It was not that their country had no real friends, but who could tell who was a real friend? He could not afford the risk.
"Anything else to add?"
Qiu Huoming shook his head, "No more."
Dean Liu patted his shoulder and asked him to go down first.
"Thank you very much for the speech by Comrade Qiu Huoming. He shares some of the same views with Director Hu, that is, refusing to send the core data to Sakura Country, and believes that the technology level of the two machines we independently developed is not backward."
"I agree with their point of view. Before this meeting, I was still a little confused, but now I am convinced, and I will convey my opinions..."
Qiu Huoming, who was sitting in the audience, heaved a sigh of relief. No matter whether what he said today had any effect, at least he had tried his best.
"Everyone has different opinions today, but they all have a serious and responsible attitude towards scientific research. This does not mean that you disagree with each other. I hope we can develop this kind of healthy scientific research style. If you have any opinions, just speak up and make our School of Engineering a benchmark for industrial technology in South China..."
Dean Liu smiled warmly and looked at the audience:
"Okay, the meeting is over, let's adjourn..."
Then people stood up one after another and there was the sound of chairs colliding. As soon as Qiu Huoming stood up, he saw Director Hu coming towards him with an excited look on his face.
Before he could react, Teacher Xu stepped forward and shielded him behind him.
"Old Xu, get out of the way..." Director Hu leaned over and looked at Qiu Huoming.
Teacher Xu smiled slightly, "He is our student of 'Radio'..."
"Look at how petty you are. Am I trying to poach someone? I just met someone who shares the same interests with me. I'm happy. Let's go. It's time for dinner. I'll treat you to a meal. I didn't get enough of what I just said."
Qiu Huoming smiled and glanced at Teacher Xu.
"Everyone who listens will be invited. Why did you only invite my students and not me?" Teacher Xu glared at Director Hu and said.
"How can we be together without you? Let's go to the canteen, it's quiet there..."
Qiu Huoming then responded and followed them out happily.
After such a short while, the sunlight outside was about to set, and the road was illuminated by the sunlight in golden color, which was very beautiful.
The air is slightly cool, and there are already some signs of early winter.
Unfortunately, this is the subtropics, so no matter how cold it is, it can only get a limited amount. Qiu Huoming buttoned up his thin coat and quickly caught up with Director Hu and Teacher Xu in front of him.
The two chatted non-stop all the way until they reached the staff cafeteria, where they finally quieted down.
Qiu Huoming followed them up to the second floor. This was the small cafeteria they mentioned. There were indeed few people upstairs and it was quiet.
"We have all kinds of cuisines here." Director Hu introduced the simple menu to Qiu Huoming.
Qiu Huoming took the menu and immediately took a liking to the spicy diced chicken. People in Guangzhou have a light taste, and although he also likes Cantonese cuisine, he can't resist eating it every day.
As soon as he touched it, he heard Director Hu laugh out loud, "Sure enough, we are like-minded. I like this small canteen because their chef makes authentic chili..."
Teacher Xu is from Fujian Province and has no interest in spicy food, so he ordered a plate of boiled shrimps. Director Hu added two more dishes and ordered two bottles of beer, and the order was placed.
Qiu Huoming adhered to the principle of eating and drinking for free, and acted like a well-behaved student.
When all the dishes were served, Qiu Huoming took the initiative to act as the wine commander and poured a glass of wine in front of each of them.
"Not bad, smart..." Director Hu really liked it more and more, and asked directly: "Why don't you take our computer course..."
Teacher Xu was about to lose his temper when Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "Director Hu, I can take your professional courses. I am more interested in 'radio'."
"Of course, radio is very interesting. It's not like your computer department, which has such a big thing and is inconvenient to use..."
At that time, computers were still mainly used for computing power. They were large and bulky. The disks imported from abroad were the size of a face disk, and the storage space was not large...
It is indeed helpful for data crunching in scientific research, but for students, it is much less interesting.
This was not like the microcomputers of the future, where students could secretly design a few simple games and play them during class. But at that time, everyone treated large computers as treasures, fearing that they would break down. Playing games on them was out of the question.
"You don't understand. Computers are developing rapidly. There's no harm in learning them. Dean Liu just mentioned the new products he saw in New York. I don't believe that we can't make them."
"Oh, by the way, didn't your department just buy a microcomputer?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Teacher Xu showed a vigilant look, "Don't even think about it..."
Director Hu curled his lips and said, "Just lend it to me and dismantle it. I can restore it to you later..."
"Forget about it. Last time, a Chinese overseas donated a Xerox machine, and you students dismantled it. Have you restored it?"
Director Hu touched the back of his head and suddenly raised his glass. "Come on, let's not talk about work while eating. Let's toast..."
Qiu Huoming smiled secretly, clinked his wine glass with theirs, drank a mouthful of wine, and ate a piece of spicy chicken, which was indeed spicy enough. While eating, he asked:
"Director Hu, may I ask if the Xerox machine you dismantled is a printer or a computer?"
Director Hu reported the model without hesitation: "Alto..."
(This is a machine that was made in 75. It can use a mouse. The main chassis contains a CPU, memory and a removable disk package.)
Qiu Huoming was stunned for a moment.
Teacher Xu took a sip of wine and asked, "I heard that the operation of that machine depends entirely on memory..."
Director Hu nodded. "It takes a lot of memory to display the graphics. It was really amazing at first..."
"Director Hu, can you let me see this machine?"
Qiu Huoming suppressed his inner excitement. This machine was the legendary first-generation machine that created countless great people...
The most famous one among them is Steve Jobs.
