Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 115 The First Emperor's Operating System
Half a month later, on April 5.

A simple version of the laser lithography machine came out, and the processing accuracy of the primary laser lithography machine exceeded the 100-nanometer processing accuracy of the Nuwa 50, reaching a [-]-nanometer accuracy.

Zhong Cheng directly named this laser lithography machine Nuwa No. [-], as the prototype of the future Nuwa six-series industrial mother machine.

The future Nuwa six-series industrial master machine will be the laser lithography machine series. Zhong Cheng didn't want to give it another name, and directly included it in the Nuwa industrial master machine family.

The Nuwa No. [-] laser lithography machine is the younger brother of the Nuwa industrial mother machine family. The entire machine tool is only the size of two computer desks, but Zhong Cheng predicts that the cost will be the most expensive in the family after it is formed.

A week later, Zhong Cheng used the Nuwa No. [-] to make a soil nanotube mold made of chrome-molybdenum-vanadium alloy.

Three weeks later, the first soil nanotube was born in the power battery factory.

But when using silicon nanotubes to make photonic transistors and optical chips, they encountered problems.

It is the logical operation method adopted by the new photonic transistor.

This is the lowest-level calculation problem of photonic computers in the future, which will determine the operating system and application programs used by photonic computers in the future, and have a crucial impact on the performance of photonic computers.

The logic of traditional electronic transistors is very simple, and "0" or "1" is represented by "on" or "off" of the circuit, and a computer language is developed on this basis.

Zhong Cheng's photonic transistor can also use this logic, using the "presence" or "absence" of light to represent "0" or "1".

In this way, the program development process for the photonic computer is very simple, and the existing operating system can be directly applied.

However, at the project team meeting, the "0" and "1" logic scheme proposed by Gui Bin was rejected by Zhao Wei, and he proposed a new idea.

Zhao Wei said that he has always had a dream, which is to develop a real Chinese character computer operating system.

However, limited by the traditional electronic circuit operation logic, the previous Chinese character operating system was nothing more than a Chinese translation of the English DOS system as the machine language.

For the logic of "0" and "1", English, as a one-dimensional language, does have inherent advantages.

Chinese is a two-dimensional language, and it is inferior to English in terms of binary operations.

But now new photonic transistors, light chips, offer an opportunity.

Visible light has seven kinds of spectrum, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, plus the white light generated by the combination of seven kinds of light, there are eight kinds of visible light in total.

If the octal operation is adopted on the basis of these eight kinds of visible light, Chinese characters can be used directly.

Chinese characters have five basic pen types, horizontal, vertical, left, right, and folded, plus a replacement character, a sequence character, and a check character, which can completely and accurately recognize tens of thousands of Chinese characters, exactly eight basic characters,

It can be said that this kind of optical logic and Chinese characters are a perfect match!
Zhao Wei's whimsical idea shocked the members of the project team. From his 1-meter body exuded a light that made people look up, and Li Mei's eyes burst into stars.

Zhong Cheng was shocked and lamented that it is better to ask for help than to ask for oneself, and Zhao Wei's problem must be solved by himself in the end.

Gui Bin reacted and said excitedly: "The octal machine language is much more advanced than the binary system. It is several times superior in terms of the refinement of the programming language. A number '8' in octal can be directly expressed by a character '8'. , the binary will use the four characters '1000' to represent."

"The Chinese language's characteristics of accurate and refined descriptions of things have been brought into full play. The emergence of this brand-new Chinese character programming language will inevitably bring about revolutionary changes in the evolution of intelligent computer programs!" Lin Wei was equally excited.

Yang Xi went on to say: "There are complex mutual transformations and derivative effects among the eight types of visible light. There is a huge room for improvement in this kind of light logic. It may be more appropriate to explain it with Zhouyi's innate gossip."

Zhou Hu rolled his eyes, "Leader, this Chinese character operating system is an epoch-making innovation. You should choose a name first. What do you think, Old Zhao?"

Of course Zhao Wei agreed, and he looked at Zhong Cheng eagerly, "Zhong Cheng, this time I'm going to choose a better name, and it's better to be more aggressive, better than the Cangjie CNC system."

Zhong Cheng didn't shirk, he thought for a while, if he wants to be domineering, then let's have a domineering one.

"How about the first emperor's operating system? Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, the same track, the same text, and unified weights and measures. It happens to be used in this Chinese character operating system."

"Haha, it's domineering enough, but it's a bit ambitious!"

Everyone applauded and agreed unanimously.

Naming this Chinese character operating system after the first emperor is indeed a bit ambitious.

With the power of China and the promotion of photonic computer technology, the Chinese character operating system will inevitably go to the world, and those who engage in program development will be blind if they don't know Chinese.

It's the same as people who are engaged in program development now who don't know English, but the situation is reversed.

At that time, the Chinese language will be popular all over the world, the books will be the same, and the world will use one language: Chinese.

After everyone laughed, let's get back to the topic.

Gui Bin and Zhou Hu immediately set up the optical logic of the photonic transistor, Zhao Wei started the development of the Chinese character operating system, and everyone else helped together.

It is not expected to develop a complete Chinese character operating system immediately. It is enough to complete the basic optical logic operations in advance. First, the photonic transistor and the primary optical chip are produced.

A month later, octal-based photonic transistors and simple light chips appeared.

Such quick success is inseparable from the full assistance of Hongguang Optoelectronics.

After hearing that Zhong Cheng's team had the idea of ​​developing a photonic computer, Mr. Shao, the general manager of Hongguang Optoelectronics, approached Mr. Deng and Director Qian, saying that Hongguang Optoelectronics intends to participate in the project of photonic computers.

The current business situation of Hongguang Optoelectronics is very bad. Their main laser generators and optical components can not be sold in the civilian market except for military use.

Mr. Shao is very young, less than 40 years old. He has a scientific research background and is very capable. He was appointed as the general manager of Hongguang Optoelectronics last year, which can be regarded as a crisis.

He is very optimistic about the development prospects of photonic computers. If Zhongcheng's team can develop a photonic computer with practical value, Hongguang Optoelectronics will use related technologies to produce photonic computers and related lasers, laser lithography machines, and optical chips, and make every effort to develop this A whole new industry.

Zhong Cheng is not very clear about the cooperation model between Hongguang Optoelectronics and Red Star Company in photonic computer technology. He only knows that the two companies have notified the Ministry of National Defense to coordinate.

He received a notice from Director Qian that authorized personnel of Hongguang Optoelectronics can participate in the research and development of photonic computers, but the related technologies related to the Jingwei unmanned combat aircraft still need to be kept secret.

Zhong Cheng has had several exchanges with Mr. Shao, and he appreciates Mr. Shao's daring and professional skills in the field of optoelectronics.

If Hongguang Optoelectronics can develop the photonic computer industry, it will greatly help China's rise.

It is already an information-based society, and it is a national strategy to occupy and control the source of the information-based industry.
