Chapter 187: Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west

Li Zhenzhen spent the New Year and her 21st birthday in Hong Kong, and returned to Boston a few days later. Before the start of school, she also visited the laboratory next to the school.

This is a three-story building she bought next to the school. Robert is now 18 years old. He and Allen usually live on the third floor, and the remaining first and second floors are used as their laboratories.

When Li Zhenzhen arrived here, several staff members were sorting out data. Carl, the manager of the laboratory, was sitting at his seat and making a phone call. When he saw Li Zhenzhen coming, he raised his hand and waved, as if he wanted to hang up the phone and come over. Li Zhenzhen waved and walked over.

Entering the laboratory, Allen and Robert were debugging the machine. On the table in front of them, there was a black host shell and a desktop TV screen. Allen was operating the keyboard in his hand, while Robert was bending over and fiddling with something in the host, looking very focused.

Li Zhenzhen stood at the back and observed quietly. As Allen's fingers flew, lines of green codes appeared on the TV screen. The speed was very fast. If you didn't look carefully, the codes would pass by. Li Zhenzhen was not interested in the codes, but the shape and size of the host computer. It was very similar to the desktop computers she had seen in her later life. It was just twice as big, but compared with the computer hosts of this era, it was already a leap forward.

She stood there and watched for a while. The two people in front of her never noticed her. They didn't even raise their heads. They were immersed in the world of computers. It was only when Carl finished his phone call and knocked on the door that they were startled.

Allen turned around and saw Li Zhenzhen. He stood up happily and waved at her, saying, "Boss, come over here and take a look. We have just designed a new computer. Take a look. It uses a 16-bit microprocessor and has 20,000 micro transistors. All of them were hand-inlaid by Robert. He is really an amazing guy. Even the appearance of this computer was designed by him. I think it is very good." "It's perfect, what do you think?"

"It's very good." Li Zhenzhen smiled and praised. Robert has amazing intuition and talent in this area. When she first discovered him in Boston Square, the first computer he made used a drawer box as the host. He had long realized that the smaller the computer host, the better. Now the host he designed is also a genius design.

She opened the cover of the host computer and took a look. She typed out some common codes on the keyboard and said with some surprise: "This computer seems to run much faster. Is it my illusion?"

Alan smiled very proudly and said: "God is my witness. This is definitely not your illusion. You know, our computer has more than 20,000 transistors. This is a highly integrated circuit that can double its computing speed. Now it only takes 0.5 microseconds to execute. It can also run 15 instructions at the same time. If you want to search, it can also support multiple addressing methods. We have also designed a set of special software to make it run faster. It can even directly access 16 megabytes of memory, greatly improving its operating efficiency. "

Allen spoke a lot and concluded excitedly: "Boss, this computer has already achieved primary intelligence. It can prioritize user habits and simulate memory space. Let me show you."

Allen's hands quickly tapped the keyboard, and three small squares like folders appeared on the computer screen like a miracle. Grids, click on these small squares, and there are documents one after another. Each document has a property mark behind it. Allen clicked on one of them and typed a series of commands on the keyboard. The printer connected to another table immediately made a clicking sound and spit out a piece of paper soon. Li Zhenzhen walked over to see that it turned out to be a poem by Mark Twain.
