Chapter 362 Electronic Calculator
Back in his room and sealed everything up, Yang Yuanzhao entered the all-in-one machine. Soon, an ordinary function calculator appeared in his hand. It was absolutely impossible to take this thing out directly. Just kidding, this is a technology far beyond this era. In a sense, it can even be called black technology.
Mihai is a Russian. Many of his previous actions did not feel that they had a good impression of the US government. However, once these things are exposed, many powerful people may join forces, which is definitely not something Yang Yuanzhao can bear at present. After thinking about it, Yang Yuanzhao finally decided to hide him with something else.
Based on the calculator, Yang Yuanzhao made a huge thing in the all-in-one machine. Others studied how to reduce the size as much as possible. However, he was as enlarged as possible. Using huge metal cabinets to hide the calculator is also a kind of protection. Even for this technology that surpasses this era, this huge thing weighing more than 3 tons will be fixed in the entire command center, and special guards will even be sent. At present, there are no full-time guard personnel in Baotou. Yang Yuanzhao directly came from the army to manage the guns and live ammunition. As long as someone wants to open the iron cabinet, he will stop it immediately and kill him without following the order.
Because the whole is covered with a huge box, and the display is not made with LCD or any display screen. The calculation results will not be displayed on the outside, but are driven through the hole punching machine connected to the other end, and the final result is drawn with the help of the hole punching machine. Compared with the hole punching mechanical calculator, the calculation speed is much faster. In terms of the speed, it is controlled at about 500 times that of the hole punching mechanical computer. This speed is very fast and is within the acceptable range.
The next day, such a big guy was installed in the command center by Yang Yuanzhao. At that time, everyone was mysteriously invited out. He took a few workers and worked in the command center for a long time. He welded the iron box. Not only did the iron box weigh 3 tons, but it also combined it with the wall and another steel ingot of more than 5 tons through a 50-centimeter diameter steel column. The protective measures were definitely much tighter than the bank safes of this era. In addition, security and self-destruction devices with 10 minutes of ringing the bell, the rigor was almost as strict as the level of abnormality.
Mihai heard about it at the first time, but he couldn't come in. When he allowed to come in, he looked at the weird iron guy and was slightly surprised. If it weren't for the punching machine next to him, he even thought it was just a big iron block. He asked Yang Yuanzhao with a little confusion: "President Yang, can this really be calculated!"
Yang Yuanzhao pointed to the Arabic numerals on the front and the function numerals. This is a mechanical press disk, connected to the electronic computer below. It looks similar to a mechanical computer, but in fact, the electronic chip below is calculated. He briefly introduced the usage method, which is really simple. It is just used to input it on the top. The only thing is that there is no real-time display. If it is wrong, the calculation will be invalid this time.
It's very simple and easy, almost ready to say it. Mihai was very resolute and immediately ordered the dispatcher to report the data. At the first time, a series of position data of the train currently running were entered into it. The results that were calculated in just less than 30 seconds on this strange-looking thing, and it was easy to do so.
I tried a few more, but I didn't have any careful calculations, but Mihay felt that this thing was probably much faster than the American punching mechanical computers. The excellent reaction speed and calculation ability were almost instantly the data came out. Most of the time spent was the input process. Mihay's subordinates, several senior dispatchers, could easily command the dispatch of all trains based on this fact.
The first batch of experiments have been carried out. In a small range, using this to shorten the train's departure time by at least 40. On a large railway operating map, reducing 40 means that the capacity of the entire railway has been twice as fast as that of Mikhai. It should be noted that this is the result of Mikhai's adjustment through the signal and command system. It has not reached the departure speed of two or three minutes like later generations, but it has exceeded the standard of the Pacific Railway Company. It has reached an average speed of about 17 minutes. Moreover, with the familiarity with the machine, signal lights and various signal arrangements are completed. I believe that the interval is 14 minutes, or even lower, and there is no problem at all.
Logically speaking, this attempt should continue to strive to find the final limit. Small-scale experiments are still in progress, but there is no need to adjust. Baotou does not have so many trains. According to the current situation, the railway from Baotou to Zhangjiakou can be reduced to 17 minutes per train, then the distance between Baotou and Zhangjiakou is more than 300 kilometers, which is calculated in 4 hours. At the same time, there are 14 trains. This is not counted as 3 railways. If you count, it is 42 trains. This is still a railway. In addition to other, it is conservatively estimated that Baotou must have at least 400 locomotives. Each locomotive represents a train. With some backup or emergency situations, it will be about 700 trains. Now the locomotives in Baotou are very short of, and even the carriages are very short. The crazy increase in the distance between trains at this time is meaningless at all.
At present, the existing locomotives are arranged to make the train operation range more stable and convenient. That's all. In the future, with the sufficient equipment, the running density of this train will be improved. Mikhai has provided reasonable opinions on many aspects such as command and coordination. In just one month, when the various signal lights and signal towers are not in place, the transportation efficiency of the railway has been greatly improved, and it is very stable. A large number of resources and products are transported in and out. This alone has increased huge benefits in the entire Baotou. This is a huge number and also a transportation advancement. Convenient transportation has changed everything in Baotou from this day on. If you want to build roads first and successfully build railways, this has become a well-known saying among the people of Baotou.
The power of the computer here surprised Mihay. Mihay even wanted to study what this machine was, and it was in a dead end. Because of the coordination and command of personnel and others, the solution that could not continue has been solved perfectly. From this point of view, his previous thinking was also correct, but he did not consider the problem of the machine.
Excellent machines can trigger a crisis. This was the case in the British industrial crisis back then. From steam engines to improving various spinning and weaving fabrics, industrialized large-scale production, replacing traditional handicrafts, great results have been achieved. Therefore, Britain has also stood at the world's number one position, and has become the so-called empire that the sun never sets for hundreds of years.
From this machine, Mihai saw a lot of things, using calculations to help the machine and using precise numbers to liberate people's work. In a sense, this is similar to that industrial work.
After hearing Mihai's insights, Yang Yuanzhao was surprised, except for being surprised. He did not expect that Mihai could really see so far. The industrial ** based on materials and electronic computers was the focus of the development of the entire world after World War II and decades later. It is probably the shock brought by computers to Mihai's ability to see it so long in advance.
Of course, Yang Yuanzhao would not tell him that this thing is something that surpasses this era, at least for decades. Electronic computers based on ultra-large-scale integrated circuits, in later generations, even if they only cost a few dozen yuan, were also a product of various materials and technology development to a certain extent. The United States spent a huge amount of money, almost the same level as the Manhattan Project, invested hundreds of millions of dollars in huge investments, but the initial finished product had only 5,000 computing power per second, and in this way, it had exceeded tens of thousands of people. The calculation speed of this simple function was far beyond the first generation of computers.
This thing comes from the computer itself, and it is not a better thing in Yang Yuanzhao's hands. Not to mention a car computer and laptop, even if it is a copycat version of Apple, even if it is a copycat, it is not very valuable in the past, and it is still a real eight-core and four-g. The calculation speed of this thing can no longer be compared with the earliest computers. The calculation speed per second is hundreds of millions, and the things that are more ready-made and processed are truly high-end things. If you take it out, you will shock countless people.
For the time being, Yang Yuanzhao will not, and will not be able to take out this thing when materials and computer technology have not risen to a certain level. Even if he has enough background in technology in the future, Baotou will lean towards this aspect when he has its own reliable researchers. Now, this thing is destined to be buried until the day when a suitable person appears. It is really not enough to use this computer to help Mihai solve the scheduling problem. At worst, it is impossible to add a few more units.
In fact, it is really not enough. Later, Yang Yuanzhao added 6 more units to calculate in different intervals and locations respectively. Finally, through the summary of 6 draftsmen, the train operation status was monitored in real time, faster calculations and efficiency, making the train dispatch more accurate. The operation status of the entire Baotou train was higher than Mihai's previous expectations and reached the 11-minute interval level in the experiment. Once the Baotou railway extended and had enough cars and locomotives, the transportation capacity shown by the Baotou railway exceeded any railway in the world, and even divided by two was high above.r1152
