Tang Hua: "In addition, all its parts are produced in this industrial park where we are located. Small iron pieces, ratchets, flints, plastic boxes, and even butane gas are all produced here. Only in this way can we Make one of the parts even lower than the cost of 1 cent."
……
The third station.
Tianjin Electronics Factory.
This time Tang Hua stopped talking eloquently, and stood outside the window of the radio workshop with Che Guevara for half an hour without moving.
"8 hours a day, 8 in the morning and 5 in the evening, except for an hour of lunch in the middle, the workers are in this state," Tang Hua said, "does it feel boring?"
Che Guevara: "For 4 hours straight, just bring the radio over, solder two parts, and pass it on to the next worker. It's really boring."
"What would happen if you became a worker in this electronics factory and worked here from the age of 16 to the age of 60?"
"I can only endure three years at most, and then I would rather go homeless."
Tang Hua: "I think your perseverance has surpassed most young Latin American men."
……
Fourth stop.
Shengli Oilfield.
"The current annual production capacity of Shengli Oilfield is 800 million tons, which means that more than 2 tons of crude oil will be pumped out of the ground every day, in addition to tens of millions of cubic meters of natural gas, and we must send it to the needs immediately. The place."
"This is a natural gas pipeline. It will lead to Jinan and then fork. In fact, there is another natural gas pipeline leading to the north over there."
"This oil pipeline leads to the north, and it will reach Tianjin, which is where we stayed yesterday. Remember the lighter industrial park? The butane gas filled in lighters is obtained by continuous distillation of petroleum. But the lighter industrial park Only a few tons of crude oil are consumed, while the Tianjin Refinery consumes 700 tons of crude oil per day, and the ethylene plant consumes 3200 tons of crude oil...in the end it will be accurately attributed to [-] tons per day."
"However, if a city does not have an oil refinery, it will be much more expensive to make lighters there and obtain butane gas, which may even lead to a lack of cost advantage for the entire lighter."
Fifth stop.
The sixth stop.
Every time the delegation goes to a place, it is divided into two groups. The other group is the other members of the Cuban delegation. Accompanied by local escorts, they visit specific factories and ask about specific factory operations, rules and regulations, production efficiency, average cost and so on.The other wave was Tang Hua, Che Guevara and the translator, and the three of them ran around in a jeep.
"Finally came to my field of expertise, the hospital." Che Guevara heaved a sigh of relief.
In the Cardiology Department of East China Hospital in Shanghai, Tang Hua smiled slightly and picked up the heart stent network tube on the table...
……
"So, what you want to tell me is that in this era, Cuba cannot fully develop all industries. The best choice is to undertake one or two links in the entire industrial system and make it the best?"
Chapter 32, the fleece of the dollar crisis
From Beijing to Shanghai, you hit me a full thousand miles, but at the Jiangnan shipyard, you didn't hit me with that guided missile cruiser in the dock in the distance, but took me to this corner? "
"Because this corner has what Cuba needs."
Tang Hua took Che Guevara to the 3000-ton slipway of Jiangnan Shipyard, which is considered a relatively small slipway in the current Jiangnan Shipyard.
On the berth is an ocean-going fishing boat with a dead weight of 950 tons and a fishing cabin capacity of 600 tons. With oil and water supplies, the full-load displacement is 1800 tons.The refrigerated fishing cabin equipped with a refrigeration compressor is stored in a flat-plate freezer. There is a thick insulation layer outside the fishing cabin, and the internal temperature can be maintained at minus 3 degrees to minus 20 degrees.
"This kind of fishing boat can be self-sustained at sea for about a month. If it takes 5 days to go back and forth, then it can work in the deep-sea fishing ground for about 20 days. The fishing net winch is being hoisted on the boat. This is a trawler, but we You can also choose tuna tackle, or use tuna longline, saury rod ring, squid fishing tackle."
Che Guevara: "It seems that Cuba can develop a shipbuilding industry."
Tang Hua: "Shipbuilding and repairing. Repairing ocean-going ships and building offshore ships, mainly small and medium-sized fishing boats. In the Caribbean-Latin America region, if offshore ships cannot be built in this region, they must be transported from farther places. In addition, ocean-going ships The fishing fleet is also something that Cuba needs to build as soon as possible."
"Fidel is probably still visiting the Soviet Union. Perhaps the Soviet Union will also propose to him the establishment of a deep-sea fishing fleet. But I guess the Soviets are most interested in coffee beans."
Tang Hua: "With 40 tons of sucrose and 2 tons of cocoa beans per year, my suggestion is to use this money to exchange for ocean-going fishing boats and ocean-going fishery base ships. Exporting sucrose for food is too simplistic. If it is sucrose for fishing boats , Fishing boats catch fish, and fish and seafood are exchanged for food, and I’m sure this will lead to more food, and in terms of employment, it will allow more Cubans to find jobs.”
"I know the idea," Che Guevara said, "If we go a step further, the fish will be shipped back to Cuba for deep processing before being sold, which will earn more money and provide jobs for more people. "
Tang Hua gave Che Guevara a thumbs up.It seems that he has not forgotten the fishery product processing base he saw in Shandong.
……
In Shanghai, Che Guevara's Cuban delegation took a boat to Taipei after their investigation. The organizational model of sugarcane plantations, sugar factories and tropical cash crops here has reference significance for Cuba.
Tang Hua did not follow during the investigation in Taipei, where Che Guevara mainly inspected agriculture, and Wang Zhen was in charge of accompanying him.
Compared with a few months ago, the streets of Shanghai have changed a lot, the most obvious is the traffic lights at the intersections.From October 10, all major intersections in Shanghai have been replaced with automatically controlled traffic lights, and the three colors of red, yellow and green are automatically switched by the central control center.
From then on, there is no need to squat a traffic policeman at every intersection to manually control the traffic lights (and rush to repair the broken light bulbs). This can first of all free up a large part of the traffic police force and devote it to road and ground traffic management.
By the end of 1960, without knowing it, the number of cars in Beijing and Shanghai had approached 10, not counting the trams and trolleybuses in Shanghai.
At the Shanghai Institute of Computer Science, next to the first Tianhe-[-] supercomputer prototype being assembled, Tang Hua found Lebedev.
"Old Lie, if you have a lot of rubles in your hand, you should prepare to exchange them."
Lebedev: "Is it the new ruble that was said last time?"
“是的，小道消息是说1961年1月1日起开始兑换，10个旧卢布兑换1个新卢布。”
"Well... It seems that most of my deposits are in RMB. In this way, I will ask my daughter and son-in-law to prepare this thing in advance."
On January 1961, 1, the Soviet Union carried out the third currency reform after the war.It seems that the new ruble can be called "golden ruble". It not only has a greater value than the old ruble, but also implements the gold standard. In theory, 1 new ruble can be exchanged for 1 grams of gold.
Now the U.S. dollar is still in the period of the Bretton Woods system, and the U.S. dollar is also a "dollar", and 1 U.S. dollar can theoretically be exchanged for 0.888671 grams of gold.
What does this mean? The new ruble is worth more than the dollar... According to the official price, 1 dollar is only exchanged for 0.9 rubles.
The ruble has also moved towards the gold standard, but the renminbi is not on the gold standard, and the renminbi has not been reformed or changed its value.The current exchange rate of RMB is 1 US dollar to 5 RMB, or 1 ruble to 5.5 RMB.
The exchange of old and new rubles has little impact on people in the Soviet Union, but if you live outside the Soviet Union or hold old rubles in the hands of foreign traders, you must take some measures in advance. The exchange ratio of old and new rubles is 1:10, while The exchange rate of the new ruble against the US dollar is only 4.44 times higher than that of the old ruble.
Speaking of which, Tang Hua also had to exchange his money in Moscow. Although it was an insignificant amount in his savings, there were still 12 rubles.

"How's the module test result of Tianhe-[-]?" Tang Hua asked Wang Shoujue.
"After the main frequency is increased, the chips can work normally, and the heat generation has increased a lot as originally expected," Wang Shoujue said. The temperature of a small number of chips is suppressed by theoretically calculated heat dissipation pipes, which cannot be suppressed."
Tang Hua: "This is the difference in chip physique. A chip with high heat generation means that it was made relatively rough, that is, it can barely pass the standard."
Wang Shoujue: "So it is necessary for the chip to be inspected in the downstream assembly line, and there is an additional inspection process, so the selection should be stricter."
"Letting the chip factory change the process is nothing more than adding an infrared temperature detection link. After Tianhe-[-] is realized according to the design drawings, is there an estimate for the maximum computing power?"
"According to the calculation of the 24 modules we have built now, after all are completed, the computing power will be between 26 billion and 26.65 billion operations per second."
Tang Hua: "It seems that you have left an insurance factor for yourself."
