Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Waseda University, located in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is a well-known private university, and its ranking is naturally not comparable to the seven national universities that Imperial University of Japan changed after World War II.

In fact, the so-called various university rankings are nothing more than quantifiable indicators such as the number of paper citations in academic rankings, the proportion of foreign teachers, and so on. Accordingly, there is room for manipulation.

Especially for science and engineering disciplines that are responsible for scientific research tasks, as long as sufficient investment is guaranteed and academic achievements are eagerly achieved, it will not be difficult to compare.

Waseda University has no advantages in science and engineering, nor can it receive huge financial support like public universities. In addition, it is difficult for soft power factors to be included in the university rankings with specific quantitative figures. It is inevitable.

Tang Huan must consider everything he does in official affairs. For certain factors, he shouldn't turn a blind eye like ordinary people.

In his view, when choosing a university in Japan to interact with him, considering the ranking is secondary, it mainly depends on the performance of school spirit, history, and social contribution, and the inclusive Waseda University is almost the only one. chosen.

In addition to the philosophical training and certification center that blooms everywhere, Tang Huan and Waseda University have also jointly researched localization topics such as Japanese input methods and Japanese fonts. After all, it is closer to the cultural category, and Japanese talents have the most say. of.

Shimizu, the current president of Waseda University, is an engineering scientist. He sincerely welcomes the it cooperation project provided by Tang Huan and accompanies him throughout the process.

At a ceremony to donate the second generation Fangyuan computer. Tang Huan was once asked about it. The current generation of Fangyuan computers on the market. Basically, they are all compatible computers produced by third-party manufacturers in Japan. Does that mean that the second-generation Fangyuan computers will also adopt this authorization model in the future?

"Don't wait until the future, it's now." Tang Huan, who had already made a decision in his heart, gave the clearest answer so far.

Among the entourage, there was a professional journalist from Japan's financial industry, who immediately realized that this should be quite shocking news. So I immediately wrote an article and sent it back to the newspaper. The main idea is that the latest generation of Fangyuan personal computer products will soon be authorized by third-party manufacturers, and Japanese consumers are expected to receive further benefits.

Tang Huan, who methodically released his plans to the outside world, wandered around Waseda University unhurriedly, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai Land and waiting for feedback from the outside world.

The development of Japanese fonts is a creation where technology and art coexist, and many people devote themselves to it with a sense of accomplishment.

However, compared with the Western alphabet, the Eastern writing system is obviously too complicated, and it is difficult to do it alone, so many small groups have emerged one after another. I always want to make the font I designed appear in the computer.

After looking at a few sets of font schemes. Tang Huan couldn’t help but nodded in front of Shimizu, admiring the profound humanistic heritage of Waseda University and the extraordinary creativity of the students. He sponsored the research and development activities of these interest groups in his own name, and added that, in case it’s true One set of fonts has been successfully commercialized, and the copyright income has nothing to do with them.

If every university in Japan can reach the affinity of Waseda University to the computer, then Tang Huan is completely confident that the -9801 personal computer will have no natural advantages in terms of local "human harmony". .

One of the members of the font interest group surprised Tang Huan, who turned out to be Haruki Murakami, a famous novelist decades later in the original time and space.

In a conventional sense, Haruki Murakami was not a person who followed the rules during school. This inconsistency seemed to have completely changed after getting married in 1971.

It was precisely because of getting married during college that Haruki Murakami had to take a one-year leave of absence from Waseda University, which caused him to take seven years to complete his college credits.

After marriage, Haruki Murakami worked in a record store during the day and a cafe at night. Three years later, they opened a jazz cafe named "petercat" named after Murakami's pets. They sell coffee during the day and become a bar at night.

It can be said that during this period, Haruki Murakami was studying while observing all living beings by operating a jazz shop, and accumulated enough social experience.

Haruki Murakami wrote his first novel "Song of Listening to the Wind" in 1979, and submitted his work to the literary magazine "Group Portrait" for the first test of the new writer literary competition, and finally won the 1979 Group Portrait Newcomer Award.

With this good start, the well-known Haruki Murakami sold his long-running jazz shop this year and became a professional writer. He is currently creating his third work.

"Murakami is really versatile." Tang Huan looked at each other with interest.

"In fact, I have started to use a personal computer for my writing now. It is a generation computer with a powerful typesetting function." Haruki Murakami, who is not good at words, replied concisely.

Hearing this, Tang Huan gave a thumbs up admiringly, because at this stage, users who can actively accept the personal computer tool are basically a little different. At least they need to adapt to Japanese input on the keyboard. For a while.

In fact, the main purpose of Haruki Murakami's visit to Waseda University this time was to go to the library to check materials.

Fortunately, there was no air raid during the Pacific War, so unlike other libraries in Japan, the library of Waseda University is very well-preserved, such as "Dust and Tribulation" and other precious documents and historical materials that cannot be found elsewhere. It's all here.

Zheru is helping Waseda University build a new library computer management system. Tang Huan's next stop is to inspect the results of the stage, so he simply dropped in with Haruki Murakami and talked while walking.

In the original time and space, Haruki Murakami has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature since 2009, and has been nominated for 6 consecutive years since then, but has always been an **** role, which I have to say is a funny thing.

Many people's understanding of Haruki Murakami is related to "Norway's Forest". If only by this point, it would be impossible for Tang Huan to continue paying attention after the chance encounter.

Compared with other Japanese counterparts. Haruki Murakami's style is not very Japanese. But a very American novelist.

Japan is a hierarchical and step-by-step society. Haruki Murakami has a mentality of fleeing from this, even including politics, war, and a huge state apparatus.

All in all, Haruki Murakami is a special Japanese, and Tang Huan has also confirmed this by simply getting along.

You know, Japan’s economy is booming and its national strength is prosperous. It dares to challenge the American bosses. It is the time to enjoy the bonus and glory from top to bottom, and Haruki Murakami seems a little different.

When parting, Tang Huan smiled and said, "Murakami, I appreciate your novels very much. If you are willing to accept it, I would like to sponsor you to study in the United States for free, so as to write better works."

Haruki Murakami was stunned by the pie that fell from the sky, and it was a long time without knowing how to answer.

In the original time and space, besides being a Japanese novelist, Murakami also had the identity of an American literary translator. He admired the three American writers, Fitzgerald, Raymond Chandler and Raymond Carver, for their early writing styles—that is, the past few years. It is also deeply affected.

If there is a chance to travel to the United States, Haruki Murakami can't ask for it.

"Forgot to explain, you can take your wife to the United States." Tang Huan took a business card from his entourage and placed it in Haruki Murakami's hand. "If you think about it, call the phone above."

...

Tang Huan’s deliberate release at Waseda University was immediately caught by Japanese companies that have been paying attention to the personal computer industry.

The next morning, Akio Morita of Sony was the first to contact him to confirm the matter.

At this time, Tang Huan was ready to leave for the United States.

"It is true. If Sony is interested, then go to the United States to talk. It is estimated that you will also attend the dex, and I really don't have much time to stay in Japan." Tang Huan replied very sincerely, but it would be appetizing. Suspicion.

There is also a reason for Tang Huan's sluggishness.

His personal computer-9801 is still in the prototype stage. Tang Huan doesn't need to rush into the battle. He should take his posture first and see how to deal with it.

If the situation is optimistic, tighten up the authorization on the compatible machine a little bit, otherwise, post a hero post, a cloud-piercing arrow, and the big brothers and younger brothers will come to see you.

Moreover, this time buffer can also make the software department that is responsible for the task of recovering the loss better prepared.

More importantly, the move to open up the authorization of the second-generation Fangyuan computer compatible computer involves a large number of patented technologies, and it will take a lot of time for the US Department of Justice to deliberate carefully.

Compared with the transitional design of the Dafangyuan computer, Tang Huan planned the architecture of the second-generation Fangyuan computer according to industry standards, including the design of the isa bus, ports, north-south bridge chips, memory sticks, expansion slots, etc. All leave room for future upgrades.

Adding all these things together is the so-called personal computer standard.

In the original time and space, Big Blue launched ibm-, which made the concept of personal computer popular and popular all over the world.

But in fact, ibm is a profit-seeking company in the final analysis, it has developed its own personal computer just to make money in this field.

Don’t forget, the background of the birth of ibm- is that personal computers are recognized as a kind of low-end equipment, and the development cycle of the chess plan is too short, which leads to the patchwork of technology...

These technical limitations are not a big problem when ibm- and other peers such as Apple coexist, but when ibm-dominates the world, it drives out other personal computers with different architectures and almost only Apple computers are left, and they gradually become restrictions. A stumbling block to the development of the entire personal computer industry.

One of the most obvious examples is that when Intel launched the microprocessor intel80286 with memory protection, the conditions for a multitasking operating system were already available, but ibm and Microsoft, which dominate the entire personal computer industry, have never done anything. .

This is the original sin of monopoly, anyway, no matter what you do, you can make money every day, so why bother with that.

Therefore, since the birth of the ibm-standard, there have been many defects. It can be said that from the beginning, the blue giant took everyone away from the starting line.

The standards embodied by Tang Huan on the second-generation Fangyuan computer have thrown out competitors for several blocks.

This kind of superiority gap is reflected in multiple technical levels. Perhaps from the perspective of the motherboard and hard disk mbr that users come into contact with before installing the operating system, it can best explain the problem.

"It is true. If Sony is interested, then go to the United States to talk. It is estimated that you will also attend the dex, and I really don't have much time to stay in Japan." Tang Huan replied very sincerely, but it would be appetizing. Suspicion.

There is also a reason for Tang Huan's sluggishness.

But when ibm unified the world and drove all other personal computers with different architectures and almost left Apple Computer, it gradually became a stumbling block restricting the development of the entire personal computer industry. (To be continued...)
