Chapter 674: Nowhere

Tan Zhenhua, who returned to San Francisco, did not live in the Stanford University dormitory jointly owned by him and Li Zhekai, but asked his senior brother Li Yanan to help him find a big house in Chinatown. This house is close to the residences of Lu Jiangang and Zhang Xiaohua in the United States, and it is very large, with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and even a front garden and a swimming pool behind the house, enough for him, Lin Shuangxi and Mike. The three of Tyson lived comfortably.
It's not that he is lazy and doesn't want to go to class, but he feels that there must be a quiet and safe place for him to deal with some private matters, and such a place, he wants to go to Li Yanan's sphere of influence in Chinatown is the most suitable. What's more, he does have a headache to be busy now.
This headache for him is naturally-buying a computer.
To put it bluntly, before he was reborn, as long as he opened the shopping website on his mobile phone and bought a computer, it was a piece of cake. Products with thousands of free shipping items will arrive today and tomorrow. There are many brands to choose from. And ah, any one is more powerful and faster than the big guys that can only fit in a few rooms now. Unfortunately, it's still the beginning of 1983.
At this time, personal computers, regardless of whether they are the famous IBM, DEC, HP, APPLEII, including Xiao Tan Tan’s own ARM, can only be regarded as toy-level, and it is purely dreaming to use Chen Yijian to design aircraft. If you want to run CATIA recommended by Tan Zhenhua, it’s best to use a supercomputing-level machine. Such machines have very little room for choice. The first choice is of course the current US supercomputing top three-international business machines IBM, Ray Cray or control data CDC products.
Unfortunately, even if Xiao Tan Tan's chequebook was waved like a hunter, these three companies, without exception, kept Xiao Tan Tan shut-because it is the U.S. government that explicitly controls the export of sensitive technology products to China. However, there are very strict restrictions on the models that can be sold. The highest performance is obviously not for sale. Even if it is ordinary, a series of non-military use certificates must be provided. The United States will even restrict the installation location and specific use of the computer. , And will send someone to check the situation from time to time.
In terms of the nature of the 3603 Institute and the work content these computers will undertake, these conditions are clearly unacceptable.
In desperation, Xiao Tan Tan had to set his sights on several companies in the second tier, such as HP and DEC, hoping to buy their minicomputers. Although the computing speed of this level of computer is slower, it can make do with it. Use is better than nothing.
However, even a minicomputer-level computer is difficult to buy. The U.S. government has made clear regulations on the export of these machines. Those with a computing speed above a certain standard are also included in the list of prohibited exports to China, and their performance that is not on the list can only be described as a weak chicken.
It can also be seen from this point that although the Miguo guys seem to be responsive to Huaxia recently, they seem to have opened up support for Mao Xiongxia to win Huaxia together. In fact, they are still full of vigilance and guard against Huaxia in their hearts. Buying slightly more advanced equipment will shirk it, and even if you agree to sell it, it will be a reduced version, such as the famous F-16 fighter jet into China.
Tan Zhenhua clearly remembers that just this year, the American "Thunderbirds" aerobatic team will go to Beijing to showcase the excellent performance of the F-16 for China and want to take the opportunity to promote it. However, what they intend to sell to China is not equipped with the F110 vortex. The fan engine version is just a castration of the backward J79 turbojet engine!
Selling fighters is just selling a finished weapon. There is no transfer of drawings and technology. In fact, what Huaxia can learn is very limited. Even these are all counted, and it will try to reduce the possibility of Huaxia acquiring advanced technology, let alone selling. Productivity tools like supercomputers or minicomputers?
Tan Zhenhua has been busy for half a month, tried all kinds of methods, and found nothing. He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. During this time, he once again verified the so-called "buying is worse than buying, and renting is worse than buying." "How unreliable it is, and I deeply understand how false the so-called "Huami relationship honeymoon period in the 1980s" is.
What a dangerous and stupid idea to expect a country that is destined to become a strategic opponent to truly help itself!
Seeing that every possible path has been tried and blocked one by one by himself, Tan Zhenhua also feels helpless. Is it really necessary to wait for the development of Ci Yungui's "Yinhe I"?
However, even if the supercomputer with billion times per second is successfully developed, so what?
A supercomputer is facing the computing needs of a country as big as China, from the simulation of nuclear tests to the construction of highways and bridges, from the prediction of severe weather to the exploration of geophysics, from the research of materials science to the exploration of petroleum and minerals. ...
Almost all modern cutting-edge sciences are based on large-scale calculations. It is conceivable that when this China Xia’s first real supercomputer is put into operation, how busy it will be!
A computer with only billions of computing power per second, when will it be able to allocate a little bit of computing power to Chen Yijian?
What's more, this computer will undoubtedly be installed in its development unit-Huaxia National University of Defense Technology in Changsha, thousands of miles away from Xijing. Chen Yijian has to toss on the road for several days if he wants to use it once. The urgent schedule requirements of the "Flying Leopard" fighters obviously do not match.
It was the first time since his rebirth that Tan Zhenhua felt that he had a bad time.
This young master is rich, and he can't even buy a decent computer. What a genius!
Young Master Tan couldn't help getting angry, so angry that he wanted to yell at him, but he walked around and found that there was no one who could vent his anger.
Living with him are Lin Shuangxi and Mike Tyson, both of them are martial arts masters who can pinch him to death like an ant with their fingers. He can't afford to provoke them; the neighbors live next door. It's Lu Jiangang and Zhang Xiaohua. These two have always smiled on their faces, but in their bones are the male and female monsters who came out of Burmese jade in the deep mountains. There are dozens of lives under their hands, which is a disagreement. The master who can draw a gun; next door, um, next door is a pair of adulterers and prostitutes Li Yanan and Kaidi, the two guys, one of them is a martial artist with horse racing on the arm and standing on the fist, and the other from childhood U.S. fierce girls who have been brainwashed by cowboy culture...
Why is my life so bitter!
Tan Zhenhua sighed. He felt that going on like this was not the answer, so just relax and find a place where you can show yourself a little respectfulness.
Well, in San Francisco, there is only one place where you can put yourself on the top of your boss.
