Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 677: Using an Abacus to Build an Atomic Bomb

"What's going on? Using an abacus to make an atomic bomb?"

Professor Zhao was completely stunned when he heard Yu Ye's idea. In his understanding, he really couldn't connect the abacus, a relatively simple primitive computer, with the atomic bomb, which involves the most subtle reactions between atoms.

"Yes, since we don't have enough computer time, we will use the human wave tactic and pull in all the people who can calculate. Even if we have to use an abacus, we must work out the theoretical deduction of the atomic bomb.

If we are afraid of making mistakes after calculating once, then we will calculate twice. If two times are not enough, we will calculate three times. Ultimately, our goal is to make an atomic bomb on paper!"

Yu Ye seemed to recall that those big guys used abacus beads to make the atomic bomb one by one in the past. What's wrong with another round under the current circumstances?

The factory director's idea seemed to have inspired several people. According to this idea, it is very feasible. If the entire calculation process is split up, it can be completely implemented.

You just need to ensure that the calculation results of each split link are correct, then when you put them together at the end, the final calculation result will be correct.

For each link, what is needed is not 99%, but 100% after three, five or even ten times of verification, so as to ensure that there are no mistakes.

"Where can we find so many people who can use an abacus? In this 221 base, there are only a few hundred people who can use an abacus, and these few hundred people have to work on many other projects. It is impossible for them to fully participate in this project."

Professor Zhao Zhongyao was a little worried.

"What's the big deal? We have a lot of college students from Northwest China and even the whole country in Taiyuan. Let them organize some computing groups after get off work every day. We can use the human wave strategy to overwhelm this problem."

Yu Ye suddenly had an idea and came up with a solution.

This requires that all the brainpower and computing power of the entire area under our control be utilized, and that all these smart college students be involved in this work. The calculation process can be split up, and they have no idea what problem they are calculating, which can also achieve the purpose of confidentiality.

Perhaps this is another form of human-computer?

Send the question to the northwest by telegram, and then send the result back by telegram after calculation. Is this the relationship between memory and CPU?

You know what, this idea is very scientific!

Very interesting!

Yu Ye's idea not only surprised Zhao Zhongyao and others, but also surprised himself. He did not expect that he had mastered the essence of distributed computing.

"Yes, Director, this idea is definitely feasible!"

Zhao Zhongyao clapped his hands, he was very excited, he wanted to deploy it immediately and let everyone in the base work hard for it.

"By the way, President Zhao, please lead the team to install and debug the IBM computer I brought back. It's such a confidential project, and I'm worried that the Americans might leak confidential information if they debug it, so I'll have to trouble you to take charge."

Yu Ye added.

"Okay, no problem. I'll organize everyone to tackle the problem right away."

"Director, there is one more thing I need to report to you. During this period, when we were working on the theory of nuclear energy and atomic bombs, I found that everyone's knowledge was generally not solid enough.

I did some rough statistics and found that there are not many professors who can give lectures at a high level, so I want to see if you have time to give a lecture to everyone?"

Professor Zhao Zhongyao rubbed his hands. He knew that Yu Ye was very busy now. It could be said that Yu Ye was responsible for all the technical and management matters of the entire 221 base. It could almost be said that he was already busy without any work. However, he really had no way to think about it because there was too much shortage of technical personnel now.

Hearing this, Yu Ye also felt a bit of a headache. It was not that he was unwilling to give lectures. In fact, he paid great attention to the work of talent cultivation. Since the establishment of Liaoyuan Factory, he had had a very long-term plan for talent cultivation, but now he really had no time to spare.

The construction of the reactor, the reconstruction of the particle accelerator laboratory, the calculation of the atomic bomb theory, the breakthrough in missile theory and engineering, the training of Yu Min, and even the advancement of various work at the Taiyuan Arsenal and the coordination of various resources; just thinking about these things gave Yu Ye a headache.

It's not that he didn't want to let others do it, nor was he a power-hungry person. It's just that he couldn't find the right person. The experienced people hadn't grown to the point of being able to take on things on their own, and the people who could get started were not yet familiar with the situation. Only the few students he had "grabbed" at the beginning were able to grow quickly and were already able to take charge of a lot of work independently.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Ye said, "How about this, from now on, we will arrange two hours of classes for everyone after dinner every day. The specific main teachers will be me, you, Teacher Zhao, and some senior teachers.

It has been decided for the time being that I will be responsible for half of the class hours first, and when everyone has grown up, I can reduce my class hours. "

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Professor Zhao knew that this matter was a bit embarrassing for Yu Ye, but Yu Ye was the only one in the base who knew the most about atomic bombs, and if he didn't fleece Yu Ye, he wouldn't be able to find anyone else to do so.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, you go first. Next one."

Yu Ye didn't even have time to stand up to see Professor Zhao Zhongyao off, and shouted directly at the door.

At this time, Yu Ye was like an old Chinese doctor in the 221 base. No matter which research institute or subsystem had a problem, he would respond and guide them as soon as possible and provide appropriate solutions.

"Director, we have already produced more than 400 kilograms of 'yellow cake' using the traditional method you told us. What do you think we should do next?"

Chen Kan found Yu Ye with a small yellow sample in a lead box and asked about the next work plan.

Yu Ye took the sample handed over by Chen Kan, took out a magnifying glass and looked at the crystal structure, then closed the box and placed it on the table.

"Well, it's good. The product is quite pure. You can produce yellow cake of such purity with such simple equipment. Your operation level is quite good."

Chen Kan: “…”

Why do the factory manager's words sound weird? Why do they sound a bit like someone selling opium?

"To be honest with you, Director, I brought here a group of engineers with the most operational experience. The equipment they use is not simple pottery basins or anything like that, but serious laboratory equipment.

We now have sufficient research funding, and we have basically all kinds of experimental equipment.”

As the person in charge of the entire Liaoyuan Arsenal's chemical line, Chen Kan now has sufficient financial support and speaks with more confidence.

"Hmm? Chen Kan, how much did you just say you had done?"

"400 kilograms."

"400 kilograms? It's only been over days, right?"

Yu Ye widened his eyes. Damn Chen Kan, this output was really beyond his expectations.
