v2 Chapter 1378: currency reform

"Not bad, Germany finally forgot its Axis allies, and went to the Japanese like an idiot." Alan Wilson took a deep breath, which was a fortune in misfortune.

"Actually, Japan's economic aggregate is close to that of the United Kingdom, and it is considered a powerful country." Pamela Mountbatten shook her head, but it's a pity that some things cannot be done.

"It's not because the population of Japan is twice that of the United Kingdom." Alan Wilson thought to himself, "On the surface, Japan is indeed powerful, but this country has been reorganized by the United States. It is no longer a country internally, and many are important to a country. Japan is lacking many things, in fact, Germany also has this problem, Germany is lucky because it has different strategies in Europe, Britain, the United States and France, Germany still has some room to play, you see, Japan will sooner or later find it difficult.”

Does Japan dare to disobey the United States? Financial loopholes were discovered stealthily, and Japan quietly accumulated a little gold. Japan can do things in this category, but to further realize its national strength, it depends on which step the United States can allow.

In fact, Japan has really tried its best to break free from the development path set by the United States. Many industries developed by a certain major country in the 21st century have been tried by Japan, and even achieved with the strength of the whole country, but the United States stopped it at a critical moment.

It can be said that all technologies that can be converted into strategic capabilities have been developed by Japan. Aero engines, rocket engines, self-developed missiles, self-developed fighter planes, chips, hydrogen fuel, and large passenger planes have either been stopped or contained. Really contained If not, replace the standard directly. Hydrogen fuel is doing well in Japan, and the United States will directly change the track.

Now Alan Wilson is just using Malaya and Japan for fixed-point sniping. When Japan has the technical strength and wants to go to the next level, it will not be his turn to worry about Japan. The United States will tell the Japanese what professionalism is. Nothing comes for nothing, and the US will not open up its markets indefinitely to feed Japan.

In fact, Alan Wilson really wants to understand one thing now, how much capacity is there in the so-called huge market in the United States.

If the capacity has peaked, it may be more difficult for South Korea to develop than the original history. If the market capacity remains unchanged and Malaya and Japan are competing for the market, where is South Korea’s position?

"Find an opportunity to talk to the emirates in the Persian Gulf and settle the matter of the grain company. We can consider allowing the emirates of Qatar and Dubai to gain nominal independence." Allen Wilson stretched his back, "retaining the military base. Maintain the circulation of the pound, and the United Kingdom can not ask about other things."

"Understood, does this count as my devotion to supreme authority?" Pamela Mountbatten glanced at her phoenix eyes, connoting a cabinet secretary who was barely able to speak.

"Actually, I still have a space program I want to talk to you about." Alan Wilson stretched out his hand to squeeze his wife's little hand, devoting himself to the supreme authority, which can be shown with practical actions.

Financial operations are naturally promoted by professionals. Alan Wilson’s biggest goal at present is to promote the service of the Typhoon, and to create public opinion that the Typhoon fighter is the first third-generation fighter to serve in service, so as to maintain the face of the British aviation powerhouse.

The news that Britain is about to enter service with its first third-generation fighter jet is sure to attract the attention of enemies and dubious allies, but if public opinion is not created, a squeamish Labour government may slow down the emergence of the classic.

The United States is content. If Alan Wilson didn’t remember, even the F18 carrier-based aircraft wants to be cloned, and now we are waiting for the accumulation of technology on the Typhoon, whether it can be used in the Royal Navy.

He also took time out to see the progress of the composite armor. Alan Wilson didn't know how qualified the composite armor was. Anyway, the scientists at the institute thought it was unqualified. If so, then wait. Anyway, compared to the The Warsaw Pact and NATO's armored forces have always been unusable, they have always been at the bottom, and there is no need to hurry up.

Then I jumped into the semiconductor achievements. It wasn't about riding a rocket with my sister-in-law. I really went to visit the staged achievements of semiconductor development. The computer has developed to the third generation.

Integrated circuit computer, the logic elements of the computer use medium and small-scale integrated circuits; semiconductor memory devices are used instead of magnetic core memory, and pipeline, multi-programming and parallel processing technologies are used; software is gradually improved, time-sharing operating system, conversational language, etc. A high-level language, and proposes modular and structured programming.

At the same time as the development of mainframes, "mini-computers" began to appear; the variety of computers began to develop into diversification and serialization, and the application fields continued to expand.

The main features are smaller size, fast speed, high precision, strong functions, and further reduction of computer costs; software is developing towards serialization and diversification.

"It's still inconvenient. It's unrealistic to use this volume for home office." Alan Wilson shook his head in front of Turing and said to the father of computers in front of him, "This batch of computers still doesn't meet our standards, but It can be used for export, and while continuing to carry out technical updates, I think this batch of computers can also be exported to Malaya, Hong Kong, and the engineering department in the Middle East.”

"Isn't it necessary for the country?" Turing was a little disappointed. He has been bothering about semiconductors, and of course he still has to serve the UK, not for other reasons.

"My friend, you know that after the advent of the camera, the schools of painting in the world began to gravitate towards the abstract style. The emergence of a new thing may subvert everything that is currently recognized." Alan Wilson made an analogy, when the camera appeared Before, the paintings on the European side also tended to be realistic, and Van Gogh's poverty was an obvious example.

When Picasso appeared, the Western painting school had already turned to abstraction because of the appearance of the camera. You can't compare the realism with the shutter of the camera, so you have to change the track. The era made Picasso famous.

Obviously, this batch of computers with one person height is not unusable, but it can only be used in the hands of various universities and government departments. It does not mean that they are backward. Local promotion, because the computer size under Moore's Law is obviously irrelevant to these one-person-high computers.

The most cutting-edge computers now may fall behind in two years. Alan Wilson thought for a moment and said, "I will let Hong Kong and Malaya place an order to buy this batch of computers for public services. As for the mainland, Use a typewriter first. By the way, I can send a batch to Northern Ireland, the Prime Minister will definitely agree, and I can win this expense."

"Okay, what you said makes sense." Turing nodded, "but it always sounds weird that the most advanced computers are used elsewhere first."

"It's more than weird, let the public know that they may think I know Hui, but in fact the public understands Moore's Law." Alan Wilson grinned, people in all countries are the same on this point, just want to If you want to take advantage without losing money, you don't want to think about why you want to do this.

The so-called public domain naturally includes all areas of public services. The obvious one is medical treatment, which can be used in surgery, especially head surgery. In the past, visual surgery was **** and difficult to deal with.

It requires opening up a large piece of the skull to directly expose the brain. The doctor must first find the mark on the surface of the brain, and then place his electrodes inside the brain. If the electrodes were placed deep, he occasionally used a knife to dissect the brain before inserting the electrodes into the ventricles.

These are all complicated processes, which should not be taken lightly. The surgery was long and exhausting, and the patients never cooperated satisfactorily.

Now, computers have changed all of this. It enables you to precisely determine the position in three-dimensional space. Originally, the Neuropsychiatric Laboratory and other researchers in the field tried to relate the location of the ventricles to the structure of the skull. They used the eye socket, ear canal and sagittal suture to determine the location of the surgery.

Of course this doesn't work, people's brains don't grow in the same fixed location in the head. The only way to determine which brain location is deep is in relation to other brain locations—and the logical landmark is the ventricle, the fluid-filled space inside the brain ~lightnovelpub.net~ According to this new system, It is decided that everything is connected with the ventricle.

It is best not to let British citizens know about this, otherwise the local citizens will find that the surgical techniques they enjoy are not as good as those in the colonies, and Whitehall will definitely be difficult to explain.

On the TV, Harold Wilson was impassioned in the House of Commons, expounding the importance of currency reform, changing the pound to decimal, and now a pound is equal to twenty shillings; and a shilling is equal to twelve pence. In other words, one pound equals two hundred and forty pence.

Coins are divided into: quarter pence, half pence, one penny, three pence, sixpence, one shilling, two shillings, and half a crown, which is two shillings and six pence, and one crown and five pence.

The last coin minting was in 1967. In fact, most of the coins have ceased to circulate. There are only three pence and six pence obstacles left for the decimal reform of the British pound. Under the circumstance that the small currency has ceased to circulate, the British pound can already open the decimal system. reformed.

"The Ministry of Finance said that this reform will promote the regulation of imports and exports in the UK." Alan Wilson said to his wife, "In fact, there is a devaluation plan for the pound, but it has not been communicated yet. After all, we also have to prevent the United States from being subjected to After the run on gold, the pound is pulled into the water. Although the over-issue of the pound cannot be compared with the dollar, it is always right to be careful.”

"The devaluation promoted by currency reform has finally been told to the citizens in advance. Once the devaluation is announced at that time, I believe the citizens will also have certain psychological expectations." Pamela Mountbatten nodded, "But it will depend on the dollar in the next two years. Performance."
