Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 271 The Million Dollar Computer Patent Technology

No, Niu Xiaoqiang finished speaking, Xiaolan interrupted: "Do you need to apply for a business license? Don't worry, my father has already asked someone to help you in the afternoon, and I promise to help you with the matter within three days." do it."

What else can Niu Xiaoqiang say?He had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I'll practice English with you these few days, I hope it can be helpful to you."

Xiaolan immediately laughed happily: "Thank you!"

Seeing Xiaolan's happy smile, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help sighing secretly: A person who was so rebellious before has become so easy-going now. It seems that studying abroad is a knot in Xiaolan's heart. , she felt at ease.

Xiaolan took advantage of Niu Xiaoqiang's eating time to discuss some spoken English issues with him.Niu Xiaoqiang chatted with her while eating, and Xiaolan got up to leave after he finished his meal.

"Sister Yu, go back to your room and rest, I'm going to talk to that foreigner."

Yu Simei looked at Watson's door worriedly, and reminded: "Xiaoqiang, you have to be careful, I always think foreigners look scary."

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help laughing: "Sister Yu, foreigners are not scary, you just don't know them well, and when you see them a lot, you'll find them normal."

Yu Simei nodded and walked into her room.

"Professor, I'm here."

"Oh, I'll open the door right now."

The door opened quickly, and before Niu Xiaoqiang could speak, Watson pulled him to the table.

On the table was a concept laptop that was not yet on the market. Watson asked with a smile, "Do you remember it?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "Of course I remember. When we first met, you were going to use it to verify the Seven Bridges of Königsberg problem, but before you verified it, the machine ran out of power. What you called it at the time It's a computer, am I right?"

Thinking of the past, Watson looked annoyed: "The performance of this machine is actually very good, but the battery capacity is too small, and it suddenly ran out of power at a critical moment, which made me so embarrassed. Now the power supply is sufficient. Let me explain to you what a computer is."

Niu Xiaoqiang is still very curious about computers.When he was at the Sanyang Tractor Factory, Huang Li said that his computing power was comparable to that of a computer. Later, Watson demonstrated the magic of the computer in front of him.Although the demonstration failed, it successfully aroused Niu Xiaoqiang's curiosity about computers. To be honest, he wanted to see it a long time ago.

"This is a computer screen. It is mainly used to display data, and it can also handle graphical interfaces. Look after you. Next, I will show a very interesting thing."

After Watson finished speaking, he tapped the keyboard, and a small snake appeared on the monitor.Although the picture quality is very rough, the snake's movements are very flexible. It drills around on the screen, and it looks not only not scary, but also very cute.

Niu Xiaoqiang's expression was very calm. In his opinion, this was just like watching TV, and there was nothing magical about it.

Watson smiled triumphantly: "This is dynamic graphics processing technology, boy, you may not know my name, but to tell you the truth, I am very famous in the computer industry, especially in graphics processing. I am the creator!"

Watson showed an expression of "I am a very powerful person", but Niu Xiaoqiang was not moved at all, but pouted instead: "Professor, if the dynamic graphics processing technology you are talking about is making a small snake on the screen I don’t think it’s a big deal if you drill up and down, but what’s the difference between this and a TV? It’s obviously very common.”

Watson almost sprayed a mouthful of old blood on the screen. He pointed at Niu Xiaoqiang's nose bone angrily: "You-you-huh! You don't know how difficult this is, so you just say that, to tell you the truth, TV and computer are fundamentally two concepts! TV transmits through radio signals and projects pre-shot images onto the screen, but computer is different. Its essence is zero and one, and it depends entirely on these two numbers. Realized image processing! Just relying on the two numbers of zero and one to finally create this snake, what a pioneering thing it is."

Only then did Niu Xiaoqiang correct his attitude a little: "You mean, this snake is not actually a snake, but essentially composed of two numbers, zero and one?"

Watson raised his chin: "That's right, zero and one are the essential language of a computer. By arranging them, a computer program is created, and then by writing the program, this moving little snake is finally created. .”

Niu Xiaoqiang asked curiously, "How did you arrange zeros and ones into this snake?"

Watson tapped the keyboard, and the snake disappeared, replaced by letters and symbols.The letters and symbols looked haphazard, as if they had been scribbled by someone who hadn't graduated from elementary school.Niu Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment before asking: "Could it be that snake just now?"

"Well, look again."

Watson clicked the keyboard again, and the screen suddenly changed. The original letters and symbols disappeared, and densely packed numbers 0 and 1 appeared.
Watson didn't speak, and continued typing on the keyboard. The screen showed snakes for a while, letters and symbols for a while, and 0 and 1 for a while, which dazzled Niu Xiaoqiang's eyes.

When Niu Xiaoqiang rubbed his eyes, Watson stopped operating, and he said seriously: "The three interfaces you saw just now are actually the same thing, that is the dynamic graphics processing technology I developed, don't be fooled After seeing this technology, it has very promising market prospects. I have applied for a patent, and many computer companies have approached me, wanting to buy this patented technology from me. Do you know how much the highest price is? "

Watson knew Niu Xiaoqiang very well and knew that this kid was a man who loved money very much. In order to make Niu Xiaoqiang interested in computer science, he used money as a bait again.

Niu Xiaoqiang really became interested, and asked curiously, "How much is the highest bid?"

Watson raised a finger and said arrogantly: "One million dollars."

"Boom-"

Niu Xiaoqiang was shocked and accidentally knocked the teacup on the table to the ground. Fortunately, there was a carpet on the ground and the teacup was not broken.He picked up the teacup and asked with a look of shock, "Are you sure you're not talking big?"

Watson became more and more proud: "As a well-known professor at MIT, my character is still trustworthy. How could I lie to you?"

　Thanks to the book friend "Half Life-Sinking" for the reward and support again, bow!
