Chapter 524 The clarion call of the third industrial revolution! (Subscribe)
"However, there are still many areas where our system can be continuously optimized and improved. For example, it is not so convenient to operate and its efficiency is somewhat low."

"The emergence of computers is to bring more convenience to us humans, help us work, improve work efficiency and accuracy. In addition, it is also to bring more fun to people."

Wu Youde looked around at everyone and said slowly, "If it's all work, then it's a bit too boring. It will become a monotonous and rigid tool. People will only use it when they need it. Normally, I think people will disdain it."

Seeing that everyone was thoughtful,
Wu Youde smiled and said, "For example, I wonder if we can add an external tool that is about the same size as our palm.

We can move this thing with our hands to control the computer desktop."

After a pause,
He went on to explain in detail: “On this external tool, you can press a few buttons, the left one is confirm, the right one is menu, or refresh, or cancel.

There can also be a button in the middle, it doesn't have to be a button, it can also be a scroll wheel.

By sliding the scroll wheel, you can turn the page or adjust certain settings. In short, you can study and discuss the specific functions later and make them the most frequently used functions.

The reason I say this is to open up your minds. Don’t limit your thinking to a certain point. Dare to think and think boldly!
As long as your idea is good, it is worth conquering it no matter how difficult it is!"

Xia Peisu nodded and said, "I also think there is still a lot of room for optimization and improvement. Take improving the convenience of operation as an example. I originally thought about adding a control panel with numbers on it, so that you can select the corresponding software by pressing the corresponding number."

"Haha... But now it seems that my idea is a bit useless. Mr. Wu's idea is better. It is equivalent to linking the user's hand and the screen. In addition to the convenience of operation, it also adds a sense of psychological closeness."

A white engineer nearby interrupted and said, "Machines, no longer cold?"

"Yes, yes, yes! John summed it up very well, that's what I meant." Xia Peisu laughed and nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, Mr. Wu, we still have a problem and hope you can give us some advice." said John, a white engineer.

Wu Youde asked, "What's the confusion?"

"that is……"

John thought for a moment and said, "Besides helping with calculations and improving people's work efficiency, what other uses does a computer have?"

"Just like the system we wrote, there is no other software to write except chess and calculators..."

Hear this,

Wu Youde laughed immediately. He had already realized this problem.

After thinking for a while, he said, "John, you shouldn't think like that!"

"You should think, what can we humans do in reality?"

"What can we do in reality?"

"At the most basic level, we can read, write, write book reviews, and write memos. In short, it's reading and writing."

"Then why can't our Pangu do the same?"

"I believe it shouldn't be difficult to do this, right?"

Wu Youde looked around at everyone and they all nodded. Indeed, it was not difficult to achieve these two points. The difficult part was how to turn the contents of the book in reality into lines of characters.

scanning……

It's like electronic printing.

In an instant, Xia Peisu thought of a solution.

After a pause, Wu Youde continued, "In addition to reading and writing, we can also watch TV and movies in real life, so why can't we do the same on computers?"

"In addition to these, there are many other interesting games. If you only play chess and poker, you will get bored if you play too much, right?"

"For example, write a tank battle game? Or a plane battle game?"

"Or maybe a strategy simulation game, Romance of the Three Kingdoms? You can choose different camps, divide the territory, recruit soldiers, develop the economy, command your own army, and attack other forces..."

"Isn't this much more interesting?"

“The fun and help that computers can bring to us humans is far greater than you can imagine!”

"At work, it can help us in many ways, such as making a spreadsheet software that can perform statistics, sorting, making bar charts, curve charts, calculations, etc. With this software, people engaged in financial engineering and data analysis can definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and it can greatly improve efficiency. People like us who are engaged in scientific research can also use it frequently."

"Also, you can use the computer to create tables, then connect it to a printer and print out the tables... You can also print the sorted data..."

"Etc., etc!"

Wu Youde looked at everyone with a smile and encouraged them, "Everyone, think freely and imagine freely... But don't be too anxious. Rome wasn't built in a day, right?"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed.

After chatting for a while, Xia Peisu suddenly remembered something. She looked at Wu Youde and asked, "Mr. Wu, this computer is named Pangu...

Shouldn't the system used there also have a name?"

Wu Youde suddenly realized that he had actually forgotten about this.

Pangu created the world, and the universe was filled with primordial purple energy, which gave rise to all things...

"Let's add Hongmeng, the Hongmeng system. You can add a number after the name, and call it Hongmeng.0. With the subsequent updates and iterations, they can be arranged in order." Wu Youde said.

"Hongmeng system?"

Xia Peisu pondered for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "This is a good name, very oriental."

……

that's it,
Under the guidance and support of Wu Youde, the 'Pangu generation' personal computer and the 'Hongmeng generation' computer operating system have finally been successfully launched after ten years of research and accumulation!

The prototype has passed the test, and what remains is mass production and preheating for the product launch in advance!

"Times Technology Company" was soon established, and business departments such as the marketing department, advertising department, and sales department were successively established, and the production line also began to be quickly assembled and debugged.

After all, the "Times Research Institute" is just a research and development department. It's okay to assemble one or a few machines, but mass production is impossible. That's not their business.

It is urgent to set up a production line!
After three months,

An advertisement appeared in mainstream newspapers and magazines in Europe and America, as well as in Xiaorizi, Laosu, Laohan, Wanwan, Xingzhou and other places...

Front page headlines.

——The horn of the third industrial revolution is about to sound! This time, it will sound from the East! !

boom! ! !
This huge, bold slogan was displayed to people around the world on the same day. Its exaggerated tone and horrifying content...

Everyone who saw this news was shocked, dumbfounded and exclaimed that it was unbelievable!

The same content appeared on the front pages of major newspapers in various countries for ten consecutive days, and people all over the world were discussing this matter.

Who played this prank?
Or is this just a gimmick deliberately created by someone, trying to attract everyone's attention by exaggerating? In fact, it's just bragging. The third industrial revolution is complete bullshit!
Stinky shit!
Or is something really big going to happen?
There are many people who hold the first two views, accounting for a large majority, while the rest are just watching the joke, and only a very small number of people are murmured in their hearts, wondering if the Orientals are really going to do something big this time?

But, how is this possible?
The East is a backward, ignorant and barbaric place. How could it possibly sound the clarion call for the third industrial revolution?
and also!

What is this third industrial revolution?
What more advanced and technological things will appear?
I can’t figure it out! I can’t understand it!

There was a lot of discussion and it became very popular. Then some scholars, experts and professors began to publish their opinions on the matter in newspapers and predict the truth of the matter...

Some held an optimistic attitude, while others held a disdainful and negative attitude. The two groups began to attack, drag down and ridicule each other, and gradually deviated from their original intentions. The building went astray!
Amid the noisy public opinion, time passed quickly and it was October in the blink of an eye.

October st.

On this day, the news on the front pages of major newspapers around the world finally changed!
No longer that 'ridiculously exaggerated' headline, it's so sensational!

This time, it included a photo.

This is a side view of a Pangu computer, but its true appearance is not revealed because it is covered with a cloth, with only an outline shape.

There is a line of text below the photo.

You all don’t believe it?
he came!
The appearance of this photo once again sparked a heated discussion, and people began to analyze what exactly it was.
TV set?
Looks very similar!

But televisions have already appeared, so how can we talk about starting the third industrial revolution?

If not a TV, then what?
Some people speculate that this might be a computer...

The birth of computers is actually much earlier than imagined. As early as during World War II, there were electronic computers in the world.

War is always a catalyst!
Because of war, many things were born in this world.

However, the electronic computers during World War II were bulky and had backward computing power. They were only used to decipher telegraph codes and were far from being used for personal purposes.

After World War II, many companies and scientists began to develop personal computers. They felt that it would be a pity if computers were only used for military purposes, and that they should be widely used in people's work.

So, the handheld calculator appeared...

That’s right, a calculator that can only perform digital calculations.

In the late sixties, a handheld calculator cost as much as 395 million yuan!!

This is the market price.

When the first handheld calculator came out, it was even more expensive, costing as much as 2,500 million yuan, which is even more unimaginable!

Just this year,

In 35, Hewlett-Packard released a handheld calculator, the HP-.

This product came out of nowhere and instantly caused a sensation around the world!

It is very different from other similar products at present, which can only perform four basic functions: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

The HP-35, so named because it had 35 keys, could perform all slide rule functions to 10 digits of accuracy and could operate with decimal points or exponents to powers of 200 over a 10-decimal range.

It is this combination of features that has finally made the slide rule, which has been used by generations of engineers and scientists, obsolete.

The HP-35 is unique in the current handheld calculator market.

Therefore, once it was released, orders from all over the world flew to HP like snowflakes, and by the end of the year, 100,000 units had been sold! !

HP also took this opportunity to become a global technology giant and set its sights on establishing its own brand in the computer field...

However, in the field of personal computers,

At present, there has not been a product as amazing as the HP-35 in the field of handheld calculators. IBM and Apple are both researching personal computers at this time, but their respective products still have many shortcomings and weaknesses.

Even so,

However, the importance and foresight of personal computers are recognized and expected by many people. People unanimously believe that the personal computer market has great potential!
Combined with this picture in major newspapers, many people think it is very likely a personal computer.

Could it be,

Orientals were the first to develop a personal computer with mature functions and stable performance?

This is incredible!
How many components does a personal computer use?
There are also complex processors, chip units, program algorithms, etc.

Orientals, can you handle it?
How is that possible!
We can’t figure it out!!

This time, not only did the experts and scholars who had previously spoken out, but even the well-known manufacturers also jumped out to question, using their own specious arguments to say how complicated and difficult it was to develop, research and manufacture personal computers.

Considering that Orientals cannot afford electricity, it is impossible for them to develop personal computers. They may not even have enough electricity to conduct experiments...

In response to these external doubts,
Wu Youde and the entire "Times Technology" did not respond and are still in the preheating stage. This time the method is more interesting. A piece of cloth is covered on the machine.

In the photo in the newspaper on the first day, the cloth completely covered the machine.

The next day, a hand grabbed the cloth and lifted it slightly, revealing the edge of the keyboard underneath, and a row of keys could be seen.

Eh?
The next day, when people saw this photo, they started talking about it even more excitedly!

See, that's a row of buttons!!

Is this really a personal computer?
On the third day, the hand lifted the cloth slightly again, revealing two rows of keys and half of the keyboard.

Not only that,

In addition to this half keyboard, there is a semicircular, round little thing on the right side of the keyboard, with only the butt exposed. The front cannot be seen, and no one knows what it is.

People's curiosity was piqued once again.

Eh?
what is this?
