Bao Zixuan held a laptop computer development conference on the first night after returning to MIT, and now more than two months have passed, and the computer company finally has good news. The world's first portable computer has been successfully developed and has reached the design performance, and has initially met the needs of commercialization.

Bao Zixuan came to the Heiyun small processing factory, since the successful transformation of CNC machine tools here. Black Cloud Computer Company has transformed part of this place into a laboratory, although it is not very professional, but it is enough to produce some simple parts.

Computers are absolutely high-tech products of this era, but Heiyun Group does not have much technical reserves. As a result, the inside of the Black Cloud laptop is basically a purchased off-the-shelf part.

Due to the good cooperative relationship with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Intel 8086 chip was obtained in advance, and the first product of the X86 family can be said to be of epoch-making significance.

The Black Cloud portable computer uses the Intel 8086 chip, although it is only a 16-bit processor, but it is more than one level stronger than the 8-bit processor of Apple's 2nd generation computer.

Looking at the laptop computer that the engineer has just assembled, both the shape and the configuration can be said to be the highest achievement of this era.

Bao Zixuan said to Hashimoto Hao: "Hashimoto-kun, let's introduce its performance." ”

Hiroshi Hashimoto glanced at Bao Zixuan gratefully, and his heart was very moved. He played more of a coordinating role in the development of this computer, and the real technical breakthroughs were made by his team of engineers.

This group of dozens of professional computer talents from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is not afraid of any challenges in this world.

Hiroshi Hashimoto: "Your Excellency, our laptop is 42 centimeters long, 26.3 centimeters wide, 3.6 centimeters thick, and weighs 2.7 kilograms. ”

"The screen is a 12.5-inch color TFT LCD screen, and the CPU uses Intel 8086-16 microprocessors, and the floating budget speed per second is 8 times faster than Apple's second-generation computer. The 1G hard disk is used, which can meet all commercial needs. ”

Bao Zixuan looked at the laptop computer and said, "In the future, this computer will be called a laptop." Our computers are like laptops that can be put in people's briefcases and ready to work at any time. ”

"I named him the Vision 1100, the first laptop in our Vision series. In the future, we will develop computers with more advanced performance and faster computing speed based on the functions of the chips. ”

"I've always believed in Moore's Law, which is that when the price is the same, the number of components on an integrated circuit doubles in about 18-24 months, and the performance doubles. In other words, every dollar you can buy a computer will more than double in 18-24 months. ”

"All manufacturers are now working integrated circuits, perhaps even faster than Moore said. We need to seize this opportunity to develop a personal computer that stands out from the crowd as quickly as possible. ”

Hiroshi Hashimoto said: "Your Excellency, now that our black cloud operating system has been integrated with the laptop, there are still some problems with the input of Chinese characters you said. ”

"We are all European and American engineers here, and we haven't learned Chinese systematically, so we still can't complete the Wubi input method you said last time. ”

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan remembered about the spelling and input of Chinese characters, as Hashimoto Hiroshi said, these American engineers are unable to understand the breadth and profundity of Chinese characters, and Huaxia can be regarded as one of the more difficult languages and scripts in the world to learn.

In his previous life, the five-stroke typing method was invented by Wang Yongmin in 1983, but now Wang Yongmin has not touched a personal computer. At present, it seems that we can only solve this problem ourselves.

Now the computer operating system is already available, and it can reach the level of Microsoft Windows 1.0 in 1985, after all, now the Windows patent has been registered in advance by Heiyun. Moreover, Bao Zixuan is definitely the most outstanding engineer in this era, with ideas and technologies that have surpassed this era for more than 40 years, and can avoid many detours.

As a Xiangjiang enterprise, if the computer cannot be used in traditional Chinese characters, then there will be some unnecessary troubles when cooperating with mainland enterprises after the handover.

Bao Zixuan said to Hashimoto Hao: "Leave the five strokes of typing to me! After all, I'm the only one here who knows Chinese characters. ”

They were relieved to hear the boss say this, after all, their knowledge of Chinese characters is very limited, even the vast majority of Chinese characters of Hiroshi Hashimoto, an RB person, are just known, and they don't understand the split of the man at all.

After leaving the laboratory, Bao Zixuan returned to his office, and the Black Cloud Group has suffered losses in these negotiations, so that he recognized his own advantages and disadvantages, at least let a professional lawyer negotiate can cost a lot less money. I still put more effort into product research and development, and negotiation is really not my strong point.

Bao Zixuan's current task is to complete the writing of Wubi typing software, and at the same time to complete two versions. However, in this era, except for the mainland, there is no dictionary of simplified characters to sell.

Although I used the five-stroke typing method in my previous life, I don't know much about the roots of traditional characters, and now if I don't have a little reference, I can write the roots of simplified characters, which will make people suspicious. Both versions of the five-stroke typing must have a reasonable explanation, otherwise it would be strange not to be suspected.

Bao Zixuan called Peng Yifei to the company, and saw that the boss had never been so solemn talking to him. Peng Yifei was a little puzzled in his heart, after all, they had been together for a long time, and he knew that Bao Zixuan was not a particularly serious person.

Bao Zixuan didn't want his subordinates to misunderstand, after all, although the things he asked him to do this time were small, it was easy for his subordinates to misunderstand.

Bao Zixuan looked at Peng Yifei and said, "Ah Fei, I want you to help me do something." After all, I don't want too many people to know about this at the moment. ”

Peng Yifei: "Boss, you can say it, as long as I can do it." ”

Bao Zixuan: "It's a very small matter, don't be careful, you are the person I trust the most, after all, the policy is not very clear now." I hope you get a few dictionaries of simplified Chinese characters in mainland China through connections. If I want to write Hanzi software, I need to use a lot of roots. ”

Peng Yifei thought that this was the case that any elementary school student could get, why was he suddenly so serious! But after thinking about it, the boss was worried that he would misunderstand him and distrust him, so he used this method to explore the way, whether he still had contact with the mainland.

There is also the fact that at this time, it is discovered that what to do in the dictionary of the mainland, which will be used by people who are interested. Now Heiyun Group has become a benchmark enterprise in Xiangjiang, and it can be said that it is the enterprise with the most employees in Xiangjiang at present. As far as he knows, there are currently more than 20,000 workers in the Heilyun factory in Xiangjiang, and the number is increasing every day.

Bao Zixuan's actions are now not just personal behaviors, but also related to the dynamics of the entire Black Cloud Group. If all the factories are built, then at least 50,000 or more employees, accounting for 1% of the population of Xiangjiang, are a force that no one can ignore. And the output value is a terrifying existence.

Peng Yifei is no longer an ordinary driver who only knows how to drive, and being by Bao Zixuan's side these days has made him mature a lot, and he also knows the boss's worries.

Peng Yifei said solemnly: "Boss, please rest assured, I will definitely go over and get things done in person." ”

Bao Zixuan looked at his expression and knew that he could rest assured, although a few dictionaries looked very simple, but in a special era, it was a big or small event, and it would be difficult to explain it clearly if someone went online, and it was most ideal for this matter to be handed over to Peng Yifei to deal with. You can also write Wubi software for traditional Chinese characters first, and the dictionary will be ready for a long time.

Bao Zixuan said to Peng Yifei: "You will fly back to Xiangjiang tomorrow, and then find a way to bring back a few simplified Chinese dictionaries, be careful." ”
