"I have seen many people, so he is definitely not simple. There is no need for Zhang Yifu to bring colleagues from the North China Bureau to this appraisal meeting. Isn't this a problem?" Fang Siqi narrowed her eyes and looked at Jia Luansong on the other end, "Besides, when he heard you question why Zhang Yifu wasn't sitting on the rostrum, his expression was also very calm."

"It's just that you're slow to react or pretend to be deep. Children of this age are like this." Hua Changqing still doesn't care. "It's better to care about what we should care about. It doesn't matter what Hengdian's product is. We need to observe and learn the attitude and strength to support automation. After all, the appraisal of our products is just about time and time."

"Do you have no interest in this product?" Fang Siqi asked again.

"Microcomputer protection has begun to become popular abroad. Electricians who graduate from high schools in the United States can operate it, and nothing new."

"But this time it was independently developed in China, and no college has ever created it."

"Let's wait and see how much they can do."

During the chat, the main characters have appeared on stage one by one.

The most central part of the rostrum is naturally the legendary figure, the founder of China's successor, Professor Li Minghe. He is the chairman of the Relay Protection Committee and is also entrusted by the Society to serve as the director of the product appraisal and evaluation committee. Professor Li is wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and his hair is not much left. In terms of movements and expressions, he is not as old as Zou Shiliang, nor as strong as Yue Yunhe's fairy-like style. No matter how you look at it, he is an ordinary and stubborn old scholar.

Indeed, people with different professions must have different personalities. There are not so many imaginative things in the rescue major, nor so much imagination. What you want is stability. Stability and stability, which means improving little by little through the continuous sorting of logic. It is necessary to be more stable after repeated experiments. The huge amount of calculation and boring logic seem to have exhausted the old man's energy.

He was ranked in the corner by the two deputy chairman of the special committees. They were both important leaders in the relay protection of the Ministry of Electric Power and the Academy of Electrical Sciences, and next to them was Chen Yanrui, the chief researcher of Hengdian.

Just as Zhang Yifu was about to introduce to Jia Luansong, Fang Siqi was constantly introducing to Hua Changqing. She was simply anti-human to the memory of all kinds of people. When introducing Chen Yanrui, she emphasized: "This person is now one of the bosses of Hengdian. He used to be a professor at the Northern Electric Academy. He used to be an appraisal of others. Now it's his turn to be an appraisal."

"Wait. He is also from the Suspension Security Committee?"

"No, he is from the Power System Automation Special Committee. He was once a chairman. He was only handed over to the people of the Academy of Electrical Sciences when the term changed a few years ago." Fang Siqi did not forget to mention, "The appraisal of automation projects cannot escape him. Although he is not the chairman now, his influence is still quite large."

Hua Changqing asked in surprise: "Can this be possible? Can people from the company also be used as appraisal committee members?"

A competitor's person comes to identify his own products, and Hua Changqing, who has been immersed in the American capital system for many years, knows what this means.

"There are no clear regulations on this aspect for the time being. After all, so many companies have appeared. It's only been the past two years."

"I haven't heard of this, that is, if the rules remain unchanged." Hua Changqing's eyesight and thinking were naturally not bad, and he quickly realized the key point. "As a company, he will have to compete for a seat in the special committee, just like the seats of controversial members of the two parties in the United States."

"I can't explain this... I still have some companies, after all, there are not many companies now, let alone those who are qualified to join the special committee."

"Soon, more and more people like Chen Yanrui will be, and we need to pay attention to this."

"It doesn't matter, the team of Kepin is mainly from the Academy of Electrical Sciences, and many of them are members of the Society."

"Where is me? Can I learn it?"

"I don't know this, but you are from the United States, right?"

"Yes. I am a senior member of the American Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers."

"Can you give up that?"

"How is that possible? That one learns to be much more high-end than this one." Hua Changqing looked incomprehensible.

"Okay..." Fang Siqi sighed. This guy clearly understood it very well, but he insisted on something meaningless.

The meeting host is the deputy director of the special committee. A director and senior engineer of the Academy of Electrical Sciences announced to the microphone that the qualifier for the protection and appraisal meeting for the Hengdian EPR-866a line microcomputer has officially begun.

The main researcher of the project, Chen Yanrui, began to introduce the R&D process, technological innovation, product introduction... Everyone watched and listened, just like what Jia Luansong said, it was more like a press conference.

"Thanks to the Society of Electrical Engineering and all the leaders and colleagues for giving us the trust. Let me give you a basic explanation of the product below." Chen Yanrui waved to the audience first, "To be more intuitive, my colleagues have worked hard to send the samples to the stage."

The two technicians at the end of the venue understood and lifted the 866a prototype, moved all the way to the stage, and slowly lowered it.

This prototype is about the size of a 20-inch TV. It is packaged with a beige metal shell. There is a small electronic panel in the center, showing basic parameters, three indicator lights next to it, and a small keyboard below for operation. For Zhang Yifu, who has seen the future, it looks too bulky and backward. It has neither a small and beautiful shell nor a refreshing human-computer interaction interface.

But for most people present, it is so exquisite that it is hard to imagine what kind of chips and software are there.

This scene was also deliberately designed by Zhang Yifu. Don’t let the participants see the prototype before the meeting, don’t keep talking about boring data, and don’t keep discussing the test report. There should be such a brilliant debut ceremony to make everyone realize the greatness of this product.

"Everyone, before talking about the product, I would like to briefly talk about the development of relay protection in our country." Chen Yanrui did not need any manuscript at all and talked freely. "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the discipline of relay protection in my country was from scratch. It took 10 years to learn, digest, absorb, master this discipline, and build its own team. Later, under the leadership of Chairman Li Minghe, my country's relay protection industry gradually became in line with the international level, and equipment manufacturing gradually kept up. The most important milestone was undoubtedly the cooperation between Professor Li Minghe and the Jiangsu Institute of Automation. We finally achieved a real technological breakthrough in the 1980s, ending the era when 500kv line protection depends on imports."

"And then, under the leadership of Professor Li Minghe, we have also succeeded in the direction of integrated circuit protection. The complete series of products has gradually begun to replace traditional transistor products, and technological breakthroughs have been made in my country. Relay protection has been rising steadily."

"That's about ten years ago, I first heard about the microcomputer protection. At that time, I was still in the Northern Electrical Institute, and it was mentioned by a professor who went out to communicate with the school. He said that when we were still working on integrated circuits, foreign countries had already started to use microcomputer protection. I asked him what microcomputer protection is. He explained it for a long time but I couldn't understand it. Finally, I remembered this sentence that is particularly complex and efficient integrated circuits. We can make logical judgments in the chip instead of on the circuit."

"I wondered at the time, no matter how complicated it is, is it still integrated circuit? You have been in China for two years, and what big-tailed wolf will be installed when you come back?"

Hearing this, many people laughed. Chen Yanrui used a self-deprecating method to talk about his ignorance back then. Who didn't come from ignorance? Computers have gone from scratch. When they first appeared in China, they had a very high-end configuration. They only exist in the special computer rooms of scientific research institutions and colleges. If you want to go to the computer, you must apply, queue up, change to a white coat. You also have to limit the use time. Look at it now, many people present have to work around this new thing. Who would have thought that a "specially complex and efficient circuit" that was the mainstream now and even in the next few decades?

Chen Yanrui waited for everyone to laugh. After relaxing, he continued to say: "At that time, this professor mentioned to me that the prospects for microcomputer protection are very good, and I hope to get funds for research. I asked how much it was, and he said at least 500,000. I was shocked at that time. That was about 80 years, 500,000? It was only a national first-level project that could get such a large amount of funds. No one understood what the professor was going to do. He thought it was just a prospect for himself. He had to queue up when he came into contact with the microcomputer in the school's laboratory. If you apply for a long time, you may not be able to touch for a few hours. At this moment, someone suddenly told you that you should put the delicate treasures in the computer room in the power plant and substation for relay protection. Who would believe it?"

After another burst of laughter, Chen Yanrui expressed his regret: "In the end, he did not get the funds, and soon resigned from his post at the school and went to the United States. The microcomputer protection also laid the root of my heart."

Chen Yanrui said on the stage, Hua Changqing was already happy: "I know who it is. This person has already built up the company in the United States, and I have dealt with him."

Zhang Yifu swallowed and spitted, and this big brother was just steadily in the United States. Thank you for giving the young man a bit of food.

Chen Yanrui on the stage did not name the name and continued: "Later, when I saw the real microcomputer, I realized how inappropriate the metaphor of 'specially complex and efficient integrated circuit' is! It is not an integrated circuit at all!"

There were even louder laughs sounded from the audience, and many people applauded. After Old Chen went to the company, his sense of humor also increased a lot, and his whole personality was liberated.

"From then on, we truly realized the power of microcomputers, not only the Electrical Institute, the Essence of China University of Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology, and Jiaotong University. With the introduction of microcomputers, we truly understood what the form of microcomputer protection is, and we truly obtained the R&D environment. Only then did I realize how correct the direction proposed by the professor a few years ago was. If he had explained it clearly at that time and insisted on it, I might have supported him long ago. Even if the funds could not be approved, we would have sold our own business and did it without any problem!" (To be continued)

ps: Regarding microcomputer protection, we still need to mention a few simple words. In reality, we had already produced mature products in the mid-1980s. A professor who studied abroad achieved fruitful scientific research results abroad and refused to be kept by the party, and chose to return to university to teach. Then he almost single-handedly created China's microcomputer protection in the laboratory. By the 1990s, it had actually begun to enter a period of stability and was widely promoted, and a group of outstanding scientific researchers and entrepreneurs emerged. To this day, my country's microcomputer protection and automation have become an absolute international leading level. Thanks to teachers who dared to put down their iron rice bowls and write legends in that era. Friends who are interested can go and see this part of history, which is full of exciting deeds and legendary figures.

As a novel, we must not really talk about them. All the characters in it are fictional. Even if it is a familiar history, its direction will change subtly due to the appearance of the protagonist, until it is thousands of miles apart.

A good story goes on, and suddenly talking about these will definitely affect the sense of reading substitution, but out of respect for the senior teachers, it is necessary to point out the difference between the history and reality in the book. Our steps and innovation abilities are faster than those described in the book.

Let’s chat for a little more. Professor Qi Chengqi University’s "Material Empire" has been released in a physical book. Only then did the comrades realize that he is a university professor! A genuine professor at Beijing Normal University!! The professor has recommended my book! Hahaha!
Chapter completed!
