Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

Xipo. Institute!

The call had been hung up, but Zhou Yang never put down the microphone in his hand.

At this time, his mind kept thinking about what Minister Xu just said.

According to him, the civil unrest in Persia reached its peak a week ago.Under the strong demands of the people and opponents, the king, queen and the entire royal family were forced to leave Iran, and the whole country of Persia was rejoicing.

Within a few hours, all the symbols of the Pahlavi dynasty were destroyed, and this dynasty that tried to secularize the ancient country of Persia was completely ended.

With the demise of the Pahlavi dynasty, the civil strife in Persia did not stop, and the domestic situation became increasingly chaotic. This chaos also affected the situation in surrounding countries and also affected oil production.

The energy crisis caused by this has spread throughout the world in a very short period of time, especially those industrial countries in Europe and the United States that rely heavily on Middle East energy. Domestic oil shortages have occurred one after another.

Although they have already experienced an oil crisis, and each country has some experience, what they did not expect was that the depth and breadth of this oil crisis far exceeded their imagination.

Throughout January, international oil prices were at full strength, soaring, and soon exceeded the "sky-high price" of US$1 a barrel.

In addition, oil-related industries and companies are also booming like chicken blood.

Affected by this, the value of the industries invested by Yuanwei Company in the Middle East soared again, with the value increasing by as much as 30% in less than a month.

Converted into money, it's almost 5 million US dollars.

Now, under Yan Gengdong's order, a large amount of oil stored there began to be shipped. In just one week, they sold more than half of the oil in stock and recovered more than 4 million US dollars.

According to data provided by Yuanwei Company, after all the oil in stock is sold out, at least US$9 million in funds can be recovered.

Last year, they spent less than 4 million U.S. dollars to acquire and hoard this oil. In less than a year, they made four times the profit.

Counting this amount of money, their current investment scale in the Middle East has reached 20 billion U.S. dollars, and a month ago, the scale of assets there was only 15 billion U.S. dollars.

And judging from the current boom in the energy market, Yuanwei Company invests in high-quality assets that are in high demand, which means that if the superiors are willing, these assets can be sold at any time in exchange for US$20 billion.

Not only Yuanwei Company, but also domestically, they are making a lot of money. After the international oil price soared to 40 US dollars a barrel, the oil shortages and the footbath chickens became anxious and waved their money all over the world to buy oil.

And we also announced the export of oil again six months after we stopped exporting oil.

In just one week, the Ministry of Commerce signed multiple oil export orders with countries such as Thieves, involving nearly US$10 billion.

In other words, at the beginning of 79, we made over a billion dollars by relying on investment and exporting oil, and we got off to a solid start.

Although he made money, Zhou Yang was not as happy as he imagined.

When he was on the phone with Minister Xu just now, listening to his excited words, Zhou Yang felt a little sad in his heart.

As the Minister of Commerce, he did have reason to be excited to have brought back so much foreign exchange for the country at the beginning of the year.

But Minister Xu and people who are as happy as him do not know that in a few years, we will directly transform from an oil exporting country to an importing country, and we will also become the largest oil importing country in the world.

Now we are extremely excited about the $10 in foreign exchange for oil exports, but little do we know that we will pay tens of trillions for this in the future.

All in all, as great as it is to export oil now, it will be very difficult to import oil in the future.

Not only oil, but also iron ore, copper ore, aluminum ore, rare earths, etc., the resources that we currently rely on for export will become things that we import from others in the future as we develop rapidly.

Looking at the precious foreign exchange we exchanged for exporting oil, mineral resources, and bulk agricultural products, they were ultimately used to purchase technologies that others had already or were in the process of obsolete. Zhou Yang felt that it was extremely worthless.

But there is no way. We have wasted too much development time in the past few years. If we want to catch up, we can only endure such humiliation.

Fortunately, we have just started reform and opening up, and there is still time to catch up...

Putting down the phone, Zhou Yang suddenly lost interest in work and wanted to go out for a walk.

Then he put on his military coat, called Chen Beixuan who was resting next door, and left the office...

Zhou Yang first went to the second research room at the back. As soon as he came over, he saw Zheng Aiguo leading several researchers to discuss issues.

Seeing Zhou Yang come in, Zheng Aiguo immediately put down the work at hand and asked with a smile: "Why do you think of our second room today?"

"Come here to see your progress. I want to chat with you about some things by the way!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"You want to know about that project, if it's an early warning aircraft..."

"What I want to know is the research and development progress of the switch!" Zhou Yang said.

In October last year, Zhou Yang decided that the institute would officially start research and development of telephone switches, and handed over the project to Zheng Aiguo.

Now three months have passed, and I don’t know where their research and development progress is!

Zheng Aiguo said immediately: "In the past few months, our team has analyzed the information you provided before. After some discussion, we agreed that with our current technical reserves, we are not yet able to The switch is controlled by a stored program, so the research direction is focused on wiring logic control!"

"At present, all technical demonstrations have been completed, and all aspects of equipment are also being produced. It is expected that the first wiring logic control switch will be produced after the year. At that time, we plan to conduct a test with our unit to see the effect. !”

"I think it works!" Zhou Yang said.

Although he also knows that wiring logic control still has technical flaws, because it realizes the logic control function of the switch through wiring. This kind of switch still uses electromechanical connectors and updates the control part to electronic devices, so it is called wiring control. Semi-electronic switch.

Compared with electromechanical switches, this kind of switch has taken a big step toward electronics in terms of devices and technology, but it basically inherits and retains the shortcomings of the control method of cross-bar switches.

For example, it is large in size, has low business and maintenance functions, lacks flexibility, etc. Therefore, this kind of switch is just a transitional product in the evolution from electromechanical to electronic.

However, judging from the current domestic technical reserves, it is already very good to be able to produce a wiring logic control switch. As for more advanced stored program control switches, it is still somewhat difficult for the time being.

Zheng Aiguo said again: "We have also conducted research on the technology of stored program control switches. Generally speaking, there is no difficulty in technology. What is really difficult is our computer technology. As long as there is a breakthrough in computer technology, we can make real progress at any time." electronic switch."

Zhou Yang nodded to express his understanding.

Stored program control switches are indeed closely related to computer technology. It converts telephone information and switch control, maintenance and management functions into programs in advance and stores them in the computer's memory. However, our current computer technology is relatively backward.

Even among the technologies he provided, there was an "imagination" of stored program control switches, but without a breakthrough in computer technology, it was still impossible to make a qualified switch.

"Then make the wiring logic control switch as soon as possible, and study the stored program control switch slowly!" Zhou Yang said.

"it is good!"

Later, Zhou Yang said again: "By the way, Mr. Zheng, Xiaowei is studying electromagnetism during this time. Originally, I have been teaching her, but in the past few days, I found that I understand many things myself, but I don't know how to teach her. She is not very good, so I want her to study with you for a while..."

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Aiguo said with a smile: "Haha, this is a typical lack of teaching experience. When I was in school, this situation often happened to many young teachers!"

"The office is not very busy during the Chinese New Year period. Ask Xiaowei to come to my house after dinner in the evening, and I will teach her for a while!"

"Then thank you so much!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"Haha, I am Xiaowei's teacher, so I should teach her!" Zheng Aiguo said with a smile.

"By the way, you won't go back to the south to celebrate the New Year this year, right?"

"No, my work is busy this year, and coming and going is too time-consuming, so I asked my wife at home to come here to celebrate the New Year!" Zheng Aiguo said.

"That's great, my parents are arriving today. Let's get together in two days!"

"Okay, you make the arrangements!"

"Row..."
