Chapter 501 Myth Plan Series
"Your Fuxi plan has transferred all the mathematical talents." Yu Dawei often joked when he saw Hua Luogeng.
In order to develop electronic computers, Meng Xiang can be said to have plundered most famous mathematicians in China.
In addition to Wu Wenjun, Xu Baofeng and others, veterans such as Jiang Lifu, Hu Mingfu, Xiong Qing and Yang Wuzhi also took action. However, the younger generations such as Chen Shengshen, Wu Daren, Chen Jiangong, Zhuang Qitai, Zeng Yuanrong and Su Buqing have already begun to take the lead. For example, Zhao Fangxiong, who was the first to propose applied mathematics and computational mathematics in China, Jiang Zehan, the founder of Huaxia topology, and Meng Xiang looked familiar and had some memory, and they were all included in the list after investigation.
The one who led them was Hua Luogeng. As a researcher and founder of Huaxia's analytical number theory, typical groups, matrix geometry, self-derivative function theory, and later led the Huaxia Mathematics Institute and the development of the first electronic computer in China. He had certain organizational capabilities, so Meng Xiang was still led by him. As for Xia Peisu, Min Naida and others who were still slightly immature at this time, they naturally did not consider it.
Hua Luogeng did not have many degrees and had too little qualifications. Only the 20-year-old paper had emerged. If it weren't for his paper on Gauss's famous when he was studying in Cambridge, England, he would have been unable to convince the public in China, which was accustomed to seniority. His classic book "Theory of Prime Numbers", which became a 20th-century mathematical thesis, had not been published yet, and his qualifications were still slightly insufficient.
When Zhou Bai mentioned it, Meng Xiang helped him.
In 1939, when the first Dragon Cup Science Award was awarded, the domestic award for mathematics was won by Hua Luogeng, relying on his "Theory of Pure Prime Numbers", but the five principles of computers. When he returned in 1938, Meng Xiang won the Pioneer Army and cured his disabled right leg eight years in advance. When setting up the Dragon Cup Award, Meng Xiang was considering expanding the influence of the domestic scientific community.
Regarding mathematics, Hua Luogeng's "Theory of Pure Prime Numbers" has not been completed, but he gave Meng Xiang a purpose or unintentional reminder and a long time ago. He was inspired by the five major principles of computers. This was originally proposed by Weiner, the father of cybernetics. It was when he was doing a visit and research in China from 35 to 36 that he got some inspiration from the Yin and Yang Bagua.
At this time, under Meng Xiang's vague reminder, these five principles were explored and sorted out by Hua Luogeng in the early research of electronic computers in the Pioneer Army. It can only be considered half of Meng Xiang's plagiarism. Many times, it is natural to open a layer of window paper.
This achievement was not very noticeable at this time, so it did not win the international award for the Dragon Cup Award, but only won the domestic award. Although it was a bit controversial, when China was trapped in the Japanese artillery fire, such achievements were considered quite outstanding.
It was precisely because of some excellent theories about computers that Hua Luogeng became the leader of the Fuxi Project. After all, others don’t know much about this emerging project. The only one with a general concept at this time was Meng Xiang.
When scientists in this era faced the great cause of serving the country, they did not have much idea of fighting for power and profit. Only when there were too many laymen in later generations could they only rely on their high positions to maintain authority. Meng Xiang used the method of leading the matters by experts, and set up deputy or assistants who were responsible for taking care of logistics and foreign exchanges to handle other matters. For scientific research, laymen are strictly prohibited from interfering randomly.
The ideological confinement of science and culture is nothing more than another form of seclusion.
"How can we compare to the talents in Kuafu's plan? Isn't Wang Shoujing, who uses quantum mechanics, called Huaxia Physics Jun by foreigners? Even Principal Mei Yiqi has arrived at your project team? Yan Jici, we still need him to come to our electromagnetic grouping!" Hua Luogeng also smiled and said, he and Yu Dawei, who is studying mathematics, have long known it. In addition, there are not only mathematicians in electronic computers, but also scientists of electronic and mechanical. Nuclear bomb research is also inseparable from the support of mathematics. Many team members are on both sides of the board.
For example, Qian Sanqiang was also one of the founders of China's computers in later generations. There are also lists in both plans.
As a basic skill of scientists, many scientists are also very good at math. The research of electronic computers requires a lot of people, and with other projects, some people only hold multiple positions.
"Yan Jici is busy with his optical laboratory, giving lectures at Jixia Academy, and having to be busy with the newly established optical manufacturing base in Luoyang. He is so busy that he can't even take care of optics. He hasn't seen him for a long time recently?" Yu Dawei shook his head and smiled. The busy atmosphere in the United War Zone directly ignited his passion. He fell in love with this feeling of doing practical things without intrigue.
"Aren't we also busy with the massive calculations of the Kuafu project?" Hua Luogeng also rubbed his temples and said with a wry smile.
"By the way, I'm going to give you a few more data, and you need to help verify it. After all, you are more professional!" Yu Dawei said with a smile.
As he said that, he took a black briefcase from a major staff officer beside him. The five red stars, one big and four small, were particularly eye-catching under the black skin.
Hua Luogeng smiled and took the briefcase with both hands, opened a file bag inside, took out a stack of calculation data and started reading it first.
"Don't be anxious, go back and calculate slowly!" Yu Dawei smiled first when he saw this, and then came to Hua Luogeng with a little mysterious feeling and laughed softly, "I heard that your gossip can calculate five thousand times in one second?"
In Fuxi's plan, electronic computers did not directly call names, but instead used Bagua as a substitute. Yu Dawei's confidentiality level at this time was already level A, so he could understand some situations.
"That's just an addition operation." Hua Luogeng nodded and smiled, putting away the calculation data.
"It would be great if we completed it as soon as possible. Then our Kuafu plan will be much easier. The calculation volume every day is too large, so we can only calculate it manually. Zhao Fangxiong and others have many ways to calculate it quickly, which is much more convenient." Yu Dawei sighed. The calculation volume is too large, which is the most critical. Meng Xiang once asked Xiaohua for help, but was rejected by Xiaohua.
"Aren't there many masters of abacus? If you use abacus well, it can be faster than some mechanical computers!" Hua Luogeng smiled. Mechanical computers were found in the 17th century, but many of them are not very fast, and they are indeed not as convenient as abacus.
"Mechanical computer? That thing is a big witch compared to your gossip. Even relay computers are a thousand times slower than yours. But I heard that thing is bigger than a house?" Yu Dawei was very interested in it due to the temptation of mathematics majors. However, he had to be busy with logistics and even consider some of the next aspects of military engineering. Where can he have time to intervene in Fuxi's plan? He can only ask about it with the high level of confidentiality.
"It's not small. It's much larger than this office." Hua Luogeng nodded. Thinking of the "gossip" he was busy with, he was also filled with emotion. The entire machine weighed 30 tons and was more than 30 meters long. The vacuum tube used alone was expected to cost nearly 20,000 electronic tubes, and this was not considered to be lost during the test. During the test, one or two vacuum tubes were easily burned out in less than ten minutes. How to make them run normally is a big problem.
"It's just that the electronic tube consumes too much, and the cost is very high!" Hua Luogeng couldn't help but sigh.
Because Yu Dawei has a wide range of coverage, he also has some impression of electronic tubes. From the early No. 10 tubes, to the later No. 30 and No. 57 tubes, to the 6v6 tubes of RCA in 37 years, they are all classics that radio enthusiasts are sought after by radio enthusiasts. Just like today's computer enthusiasts, although radio technology is the cutting-edge technology at that time, it is obsessed with countless radio enthusiasts. Because some of Yu Dawei likes this, he also knows a little about electronic tubes. These things also require a lot of money.
However, he knew that Meng Xiang was very relaxed in the costs of these plans.
This is true. The Fuxi project is also a huge project. The development of the first electronic computer is only the first stage, and the funding for this first stage was spent by Meng Xiang for $1 million. It turns out that the first electronic computer in 46 years in history cost only $480,000.
Hua Luogeng's sigh is just a comparison with the central government's somewhat tight scientific research expenses. At this time, the central government's military expenditure was insufficient, and it was already difficult to maintain basic education funds. Where can I still have money to invest in scientific research? This is also the reason why a large number of scholars have joined the Pioneer Army.
Yu Dawei, who was the director of the Engineering Commander, knew more about this. When he came, he was replaced with a lot of weapons. Since he had a counterfeit company to buy and sell weapons, the central government has been focused on it for a while because of the lack of imports. Although Yu Dawei is very meticulous in his work, he is also disgusted with some phenomena. The greed of several wealthy families and the short-sightedness of the country's development have taken time to support the independent industry. The armed industry can only be maintained and cannot develop even more.
Compared with the large investments with the Pioneer Army, the down-to-earth support for basic industries made him more willing to stay in the Pioneer Army. Just like the Kuafu Plan he is currently hosting, although the accounts are strict, the funds are sufficient.
"100 million?" When Meng Xiang directly issued a funding limit of 100 million yuan for him in the early stage, he had never been very excited and looked surprised at the face. But he didn't care about this at all. The 100 million yuan in his mind made his head buzzing. He had seen big money, but the director of the Arsenal had more money in his hands.
But the ocean, which had 100 million yuan at one move, still made his heart beat.
What he didn't know was that this year alone, Meng Xiang spent more than 400 million oceans on scientific research for other projects. Only one-fifth of the total number of people used for nuclear bomb research, which is much worse than the American Manhattan plan to invest $2.5 billion. However, in addition to the lower salaries of domestic scientists, these are also based on the fact that some of the materials can be provided by the base.
Among each project, the base's science and technology center provides complete testing equipment. With the help of the advantages of sub-bases, Meng Xiang has built thirteen science and technology centers on the territory. These are more advanced scientific research centers than foreign laboratories, greatly improving the progress of scientific research projects.
Some materials can be directly disassembled and used on various military products produced by the base. Even in the manufacturing process of electronic computers, the base goods account for a lot.
Electronic computers not only require vacuum tubes, resistors, capacitors, relays, and switch light spare parts. This is all based on military equipment produced by the base. The quality of military products is better and the cost of the base is extremely low, which also saves Meng Xiang most of the costs. It was originally not enough to use US$1 million, but this cost was mainly used in the basic research on the independent development of related industries.
For example, vacuum tubes, although the base is cheaper, their future development requires their own industry and localization to replace the "imported goods". Therefore, the driving force of a series of industrial chains has increased investment.
However, that was just laying the foundation for them. The spare parts of the first electronic computer were mainly based on the base, and Meng Xiang could not afford to delay so much time.
In order to achieve results as soon as possible, in addition to the fact that the staff of the American Moore group was a hundred times more than that of the American Moore group, even Meng Xiang participated in the guidance. Although the Five Principles of Computers were used as guidance, Meng Xiang, who had opened the historical gold finger, was the best at knowing the overall image of electronic computers. Even though there were great differences between transistors and vacuum tubes, many of the principles and rules of computers were the same. The computer foundation of university study was not forgotten. Although the system could not be sound, the general structure could still be prompted.
"The binary system of machines is very similar to the yin and yang passed down by our ancestors!" Yu Dawei smiled. The tradition of family learning made him not the kind of albino who had been educated in Western style since childhood and had been fully qualified by Western civilization. Instead, it was one of the examples of Chinese and Western use in China. Among some tips from Meng Xiang, a perfect combination of modern and ancient was discovered.
"The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated!" Hua Luogeng was self-taught and had many traditional things in contact with, and was not so rigid.
"Mr. Meng advocates the revival of Chinese civilization, and this ancestor has many good things!" Yu Dawei sighed. The trend of comprehensive westernization in China is still very strong, especially when he is bullied by the *** people, many young people yearn for the strength of the West. He still agrees with the Pioneer Army's promotion of selective inheritance and carrying forward the Chinese culture at this time. The dross needs to be abandoned, and the good need to be inherited.
But what dregs are? There are many controversial things. The dispute between Chinese and Western medicine has been very fierce. Shortly after Meng Xiang improved the status of Chinese medicine, he ushered in a comprehensive counterattack from Western medicine. The two sides have been quarreling on various occasions since last year, and even held actual combat.
This kind of thing is guided and is not suitable for administrative suppression. Meng Xiang is just behind the scenes, occasionally helping traditional Chinese medicine and does not interfere with many proposals.
These still have free choices, but the Pioneer Army is widely publicized, making it a move for everyone to beat the United War Zone. Even if some old antiques have braids, Meng Xiang did not force them, but just made a publicity blow. However, this foot binding that harmed people's bodies was explicitly prohibited by the Pioneer Army. Starting from economic means, administrative and legal means together, we will completely eradicate this "national treasure".
In addition, such as those involving faith and myths, unlike religions, the United War Zone government only restricts it slightly and does not interfere forcibly.
Yu Dawei was very interested in the names of these plans at this time. One was Kuafu and the other was Fuxi, which were all names in the ancient myths of China. And as far as he knew, there was also a Shennong Plan, a Houtu Plan, and even a Chiyou Plan.
He only knew a little about these plans.
Regarding the Shennong Plan, Yu Dawei only knew that this was a plan for seed improvement, but this was only part of it. Its main content was comprehensive research on plants. Of course, the core was seed improvement, and the No. 1 plan was hybrid rice.
Due to the cyber bombing and rote memorization of exams in later generations, Meng Xiang had a deep memory of Yuan Longping's super rice that was glorious in the country and nation. If there was no agricultural improvement represented by hybrid rice, under the pressure of more than one billion mouths, when the gap between the rich and the poor widened, the situation of starving people to death will still occur. It can be said that the reason why the political system in later generations was stable was first based on everyone's full meals. Among them, hybrid rice made great contributions.
Since the beginning of 1938, Meng Xiang, who was overwhelmed by the shortage of food, had already launched an agricultural improvement plan, which was part of the Shennong plan.
In addition to the construction of six fertilizer plants for water conservancy and construction, seed improvement is one of the major items. The improvement of wheat and rice is the focus, especially rice, Meng Xiang has a deep impression of hybrid rice.
Apart from the issues of consciousness and concepts, the technology of hybrid rice does not have much high-tech that exceeds the times. What remains most requires is continuous experimentation and accumulation, which takes time.
The Rice Research Institute in the United War Zone has gathered a large number of rice experts, such as Ding Ying, Yuan Songzhou, Zhou Shilu, Qian Tianhe, Xie Jiasheng, Yang Kaiqu, Shen Xuenian and others, and began the research on hybrid rice early with the support of the Pioneer Army.
Ding Ying discovered the original species of rice where he is now located in the suburbs of Guangzhou as early as 26 years. In addition to developing the high-quality rice seeds of "Zhongshan No. 1", in 36 years, he also used South China rice and Indian wild rice to hybridize to form a "thousand-grained ear" system. The "silver seal" rice seeds caused a sensation between China and abroad.
Although he was later influenced by the Japanese invasion, with the support of the Pioneer Army, he quickly organized new research.
In order to obtain better data, in 38 years, the Pioneer Army built experimental farms in remote places in Hainan. Experimental farms were also built near the Nanyang base on Kalimantan Island at that time. The major rice producing countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, and Myanmar also had the distribution of experimental fields.
According to Meng Xiang's tips, the search for wild defeat in Hainan began early. In the first half of last year, three trees were finally discovered in Hainan and Guangxi after continuous searches by many people.
This is the beginning of hybrid rice, and the subsequent experiments are needed.
It lasted for more than a year before I had a little clue, but this was just laboratory data and it also required outdoor experiments. It also took a long time.
However, at this time, the Pioneer Army was not in a hurry in terms of food. After the subsistence allowance was divided, the enthusiasm of the people in various places increased greatly. While water conservancy facilities were keeping up, the high yield was guaranteed. Although fewer people were handed over to the United War Zone government, the total amount in the War Zone was larger, the market was first-class, and there were large farms held by the Pioneer Army themselves. Therefore, even though the international grain prices were affected by the war and continued to rise, the domestic grain market was still stable.
Meng Xiang would not urge him, and the Shennong Plan was also a huge system that lasted for a long time.
There are also other plans. Yu Dawei didn't know much about the Houtu plan, but he only vaguely knew that it was related to the materials. However, he knew more about the Chiyou plan.
Chiyou's plan originated from Chiyou's army building, targeting the military industry. In addition to the Kuafu plan, he had the most contact with this plan.
Chiyou created nine weapons. In the initial stage of Chiyou's plan, the Pioneer Army's own ordnance industry also focused on nine types of weapons as the research object.
At this time, Meng Xiang led the Central Government Observation Team led by Bai Chongxi to watch several of the weapons.
"This is our new assault rifle!" Woodsheng said with his hands flat, holding a gun that seemed a bit strange to Bai Chongxi.
After the upgrade, Meng Xiang produced famous guns such as the AK-47 and M14. It doesn’t matter if the price is more expensive, but it’s just used as a reference for experiments and doesn’t cost much. So, with the reference of these famous guns, Woodson revised the Type 1 assault rifle he invented, which became the current one. The caliber is also 7mm of the new standard.
Chapter completed!
