Chapter 4, Tomorrow... Do you dare to come?
Chen Jianghe's metaphor carries the earthy scent of the Loess Plateau.
But it incisively pinpointed the essence of the complex technical problem:
Observe the phenomenon, use the process of elimination, and apply attribution logic!
Su Wanqing's eyes flashed!
"Have you ever herded sheep?"
"Mr. Su, I herded sheep for three years when I was working in the countryside in northern Shaanxi..."
Su Wanqing seemed to be thinking about something and didn't continue the conversation.
Instead, he turned around and said, "Engineer Li, Engineer Wang, what are you waiting for? Get to work now! Every second counts!"
Engineer Wang immediately picked up his tools and began to disassemble the densely packed pins on the motherboard.
Engineer Li picked up a magnifying glass and a multimeter to assist with the measurement.
Su Wanqing then picked up the soldering iron and desoldering pump…
The atmosphere in the laboratory instantly shifted from the depths of despair to a feverish, final push!
A surge of heat coursed through Chen Jianghe's entire body!
This was not a routine technical support request.
It's a huge gamble!
It's a gamble on his keen insight and judgment from his past life!
It was the original owner's mind, hardened by the extreme hunger of the Loess Plateau!
The stakes were his humble starting point after his transmigration and his desperate ambition!
Ten minutes later…
"Found it!"
Wang Gong's barely suppressed scream drew everyone's attention!
He pointed to a corner of the motherboard.
Using small tweezers, he manipulated a chip that was tightly attached to the latch.
It was a yellow ceramic-sealed chip capacitor that looked perfectly intact and was about the size of a small soybean.
"C19! 0.1 microfarad! The one next to pin 3 of the latch output, the one with the ALE derived signal!"
Engineer Wang's voice was filled with ecstasy and disbelief!
"A cold solder joint! The solder joint has a crack as thin as a hair!"
"When you test it with a multimeter, the impedance changes drastically at high frequencies, enough to interfere with signal levels!"
"This triggers a critical misjudgment in the input buffer!"
All doubts instantly pointed to this minute physical defect!
"Change!"
Su Wanqing's tweezers were already reaching for a capacitor of the same specifications in the spare parts box.
Just five minutes!
She efficiently removed the old solder, cleaned the pads, and precisely soldered on the new surface-mount capacitors.
Engineer Wang eagerly connected all the wires and probes.
Su Wanqing pressed the power switch on the main unit.
The fan is running smoothly!
The monitor screen lights up!
No more screen flickering!
Instead, the boot message for Great Wall 0520 was crystal clear!
Then you will be able to enter the ROM-BASIC prompt smoothly!
System self-check complete!
Engineer Wang slammed his hand on the table in excitement!
Li let out a long sigh of relief and rubbed his face vigorously.
Several older engineers standing nearby smiled, a rare sight, and their gazes toward Chen Jianghe changed completely.
Sun Yuanchao's face turned ashen, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Su Wanqing did not cheer, but quietly watched the steadily flashing notification on the screen.
A few seconds later, she turned off the oscilloscope.
He picked up Chen Jianghe's drawing paper, which was covered with derivation symbols and English abbreviations.
Looking at the circle of markings and the clearly written logic explaining the fault points next to it.
She was silent for a moment, then looked at Chen Jianghe.
The workers in this circuit board workshop…
Who exactly is this person?
Why wasn't it discovered before?
"Chen Jianghe,"
Su Wanqing glanced at the circuit board in Chen Jianghe's hand, her gaze carrying a hint of barely perceptible doubt and admiration.
His voice was still aloof, but it lacked the previous distance.
"I'll include today's events in the project report. But..."
Su Wanqing paused slightly. "How do you, a worker, know these things?"
Chen Jianghe said calmly, "Engineer Su, I've been in the circuit board workshop for three years. If I don't understand something, I can learn it myself!"
"Self-taught?"
Su Wanqing's eyes were filled with disbelief, but she didn't want to pursue this unreliable answer.
She raised the hand holding the blueprint slightly.
"This logical deduction that goes beyond the surface and strikes at the heart of the matter...showed me..."
Her gaze was profound, "The metaphor of the shepherd boy, and the spirit with which he searches for his sheep!"
"To truly learn something, it's not enough to just understand the blueprints; you need to see the underlying strategy!"
He then took the circuit board from Chen Jianghe, turned around, picked up the silver instrument case, and walked towards the door.
She paused as she reached the door.
She turned half her face to the side, and the light outlined her sharp jawline.
"Come to my lab at 3 PM tomorrow."
"We have even more hardcore machines to dismantle! Are you up for the challenge?"
After saying that, the door was closed!
The computer lab fell silent again.
Sun Yuanchao's contorted expression froze instantly, as if he had been struck on the head, falling into utter confusion and terror...
A collective gasp filled the laboratory.
Everyone looked like they'd seen a ghost, unable to believe what Su Wanqing had just said…
Chen Jianghe stood there, his fingers gripping the pencil stiff.
Su Wanqing's last words, that word "momentum," and that invitation...
It was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart!
A more difficult, but also more magnificent, road appeared before him!
Today's victory in "finding the sheep" is not only about identifying the problem, but also a declaration.
Chen Jianghe, announcing the end of this era…
They're already doing it in their own way...
The first wedge has been driven into this steel fortress that symbolizes China's cutting-edge computing power!
What he uncovered was not only the mystery of the Great Wall 0520's malfunction.
He even gained Su Wanqing's approval.
With its tightly sealed technological barriers, it has earned itself the "golden touch" to enter this era!
Chen Jianghe's gaze drifted through the window of the laboratory building to the hazy sky outside...
In 1983, Motorola launched the DynaTAC 8000X, marking the birth of the world's first commercially available mobile phone.
Without this "brick," there would be no "life infrastructure" like food delivery, ride-hailing, short videos, and mobile payments in the 21st century.
In 1983, the TCP/IP protocol had just become the standard for ARPANET, essentially serving as the "birth certificate" for the Internet.
In the 21st century, people download a 4K movie every second, and 4 billion people worldwide are online at the same time.
WeChat messages, Zoom meetings, and TikTok live streams are all running on this [old agreement].
The data packet format, defined in 1983, remained the universal currency of the digital world in 2023, the year he traveled through time.
In 1983, China's electronics industry was still doing the simplest OEM work for Motorola.
In the 21st century, Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, and VIVO competed with Apple and Samsung on the global stage.
Also, there are BOE screens, BYD batteries, Sunny Optical cameras…
The technology of 1983 was like a first-generation neodymium iron boron magnet—tiny yet consistently powerful.
To firmly bind humanity forty years from now to the world of artificial intelligence and digital technology.
What he did today was merely the first step after crossing over.
Solving a faulty capacitor cannot fix the weaknesses in the entire system design.
A brilliant discovery does not prove that Su Wanqing will support him in the future.
But once the flame of hope is ignited!
He won't just be someone who looks for sheep.
He wants to... steal the sheep!
We must build a bigger, stronger sheepfold that can withstand any storm!
The road ahead is still long!
But he saw the direction!
He's definitely taking apart that "more hardcore machine" tomorrow!
