There are probably less than 3,000 county-level areas in China. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info calculated at 3,000, to enter the data of invoices, each county needs at least one computer room configuration that can meet the needs of 200 people, in order to achieve three shifts, rest people without stopping the machine.

To carry out invoice data entry on a national scale, that is, at least 600,000 computers are required. The first question before the Clearing Group is this.

If you import computers from abroad, a 386 computer will cost at least 10,000 to 15,000 yuan. Even if buying in large quantities can reduce costs, this price may not be able to break through the bottom line of 8,000.

600,000 computers, plus supporting equipment, the initial hardware investment is less than 5 billion yuan.

However, the problem is that if you want to import from abroad, this is not something that the renminbi can solve. Although the People's Bank of China has hundreds of billions of dollars on its account, this is a one-shot deal, and it is not a reflection of China's own hematopoietic ability. No matter how much money you have, you have to consider the problem of sitting on the mountain and eating nothing.

Therefore, this question is first placed in front of the clearing team, how to configure the operation mode of the data center? Will it be criticized for investing such a large amount of foreign exchange in electronic products that will be eliminated in three to five years at most?

The members of the liquidation team knew very well what they were fighting against. It can be said that there is little negligence, and that is really the end of a catastrophe. Any little detail, they can't help but be careless.

......

The cold morning in the middle of winter in Jingcheng makes people wonder about life, "Who am I?", "Where am I?", "Why should I crawl out of the warm bed?". For the students in the first and third classes of the city No. 1 high school, there are no answers to these questions.

Xu He stomped his feet in the cold wind and counted the number of people in the queue in front of him over and over again until it matched the number of members in the first and third classes of high school.

After confirming that everyone had arrived, Xu He hurriedly reported to Liu Shan, secretary of the Youth League Committee. Liu Shan nodded at the heads of the other classes, and then raised the loudspeaker in his hand and began to give orders to the students.

"It's almost time, we're going to go to the winter camp activity location. No one is allowed to leave the team at will, not to talk to each other, and not to play and play. Next, please organize the students and follow the flag of our school to move forward......"

As he spoke, Liu Shan had a burly and tall student beside him who raised the regimental flag. Although there were not many pedestrians in the morning, these gathered students and the flags still attracted the attention of many passers-by.

The destination of the students of the No. 1 Middle School in the city is a central computer room of the Jingcheng Post and Telecommunications Bureau, which is a large compound with an area of no small area, and the courtyard is a three-story old building, which is said to be an old building left over from the Liberation War.

The location of the central computer room is not remote, just behind a commercial street in the center of Jingcheng. In front of it is the largest business hall of Jingcheng Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and next to it is the office building of Jingcheng Post and Telecommunications Bureau. With the development speed of Jingcheng in the past two years, I am afraid that the land price here will rise a lot soon.

Like most government agencies in this era, the sign of the post and telecommunications office was hung at the entrance of the compound of this central computer room, and shrubs were planted inside the iron fence walls on both sides. It's just that these bare branches in winter can't hide the movement in the courtyard at all.

The members who stopped outside the wall at the door, after seeing the scene in the courtyard of the central computer room, couldn't help but start talking.

"This is the armed police, right? Computer winter camp, why is even the People's Liberation Army dispatched?"

"Hi, who knows what tasks the PLA has. You know, it's because of our winter camp?"

"Oh, too. ”

The members of the regiment are not sure if it is because of themselves, but as long as there is a place where the PLA appears, it will always become the focus of attention.

At the entrance of the compound of the central computer room, two armed policemen with loaded guns and ammunition stood solemnly, and seven or eight green military vehicles were parked in the courtyard, and at this time, boxes of goods were constantly unloaded from the top and stacked at the entrance of the computer room building in an orderly manner.

At this time, the staff of the post and telecommunications bureau were also busy in and out of the building, and some people moved out pieces of slightly old furniture and piled them up in the yard at will. Under the command of a man in an electrician's uniform, someone transported wires and electrical equipment into it, and was busy installing it.

After seeing the arrival of the group members outside the door, someone soon greeted them.

"Hello Komsomol members, welcome to this computer winter camp. ”

A young man who looked to be in his twenties ran over, handed over to Teacher Liu Shan, and then took the horn from her.

"Let me introduce myself first, I am the manager of Penguin Computer Technology Company in Jingcheng, my surname is Liu, Liu Shuixin. Well, if you can't remember my name, it's okay to call me webmaster. ”

As he spoke, Liu Shuixin stomped his feet, and then beckoned: "It's too cold outside now, so let's go in first." Teacher Liu, please arrange for the students to follow me. After a while, at the door, the armed police soldiers will distribute a terminal to each of you, please keep it and handle it as gently as possible. ”

Xu He and An Jin stood side by side at the front, and when the first and second shifts were finished, the team of the third shift followed. When they arrived at the door of the small building in the central computer room, an armed police soldier began to distribute their "terminals" to the regimental members.

Amin took the terminal from the soldier's hand and looked at it over and over again, and couldn't help but look a little weird.

"This, this is also a computer? This is a fool, it's clearly a learning machine!"

That's right, the so-called terminal sent to the students is actually the latest "Chrysanthemum" learning machine produced by Xiucheng Computer Group.

There's no chassis, no monitor, just a slightly heavy keyboard. Of course, this is also a computer system. It has a homemade 68008 CPU, 64K RAM, a floppy disk drive, and is capable of running a custom DOS system. As for the function, it's quite a trick. In addition to being able to run several built-in learning function software, even external software is not supported.

In fact, the learning machine is not a new thing, as early as a few years ago, there were domestic enterprises in production, and the prototype was the laser-310 that was handed down from the treasure island. The product is at least more advanced than the chrysanthemum learning machine in Amgen's hand, and it has more functions to play FC cassette games.

As he walked, Amgen read the instructions on the product packaging in his hand, and his face was indescribably disappointed. His father is a researcher at a local research institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he has a real Pentium computer at home. When he was fine, he had already familiarized himself with the computer drum, and where could he look at this original product.

As he walked, An Jin muttered with a sad face: "It's over, it's over, it's really a school job." I'm going to be bored to death if I want to fiddle with this for a winter vacation. ”

"You-" Xu He took advantage of no one to pay attention, stepped on An Jin with his heel, and snorted: "This is a group activity, you know how to play." You're so good that you promise you can do anything?"

"Of course! Let me tell you, my dad's computer skills are not as good as mine!"

The team of City No. 1 Middle School followed Liu Shuixin into the gate of the central computer room building, and the door of a large conference room inside the door was open.

However, the original conference tables in the conference room have been cleared out and replaced by rows of computer desks with low partitions. On the desktop is a small black and white TV, which can be used as a monitor for the chrysanthemum learning machine.

Liu Shuixin stood in front of the podium and blackboard, clapped his hands and said: "Okay, students can find a place to sit down at will, and then we will start to explain the basic computer operation knowledge and the use of Chinese input methods." But first, we need to plug the terminal into the power supply and learn how to turn it on. Please unpack the terminal and put it on your computer desk......"

Liu Shuixin's work is lackluster, and there are only a few functions on the chrysanthemum terminal. As long as the power is turned on and the terminal is turned on, the terminal will automatically enter the working interface. The interface only includes three functions: Wubi font teaching exercises, calculator and "invoice entry".

At this time, even the students who still had some longing for the computer winter camp had to show a disappointed look.

Liu Shuixin talked about it above, but the students below reacted mediocrely, and some even began to whisper. At this time, even Teacher Liu Shan came forward to rectify discipline, which was not so easy to use.

As soon as he explained the principle of splitting words in the Wubi input method, Liu Shuixin had to stop his work. These listless students obviously have no enthusiasm for learning, and naturally there is no efficiency at all.

"Students may think that what we learn is too simple and not interesting, right?"

Liu Shuixin was not annoyed by this situation, but laughed and nodded: "Yes, even in my opinion, simple text entry is really not attractive. However, as a Chinese, the biggest difficulty in using a computer is the input of language and writing. In the past, computers were all in English, and we had to learn English to use it. Now with the Wubi Chinese input method, there is a lower learning cost mode for Chinese character input. If you don't first type the five strokes into the law, how can you make good use of real computers?"

"Hehe, of course, I understand everyone's feelings. A good winter vacation has turned into a winter camp, and what you learn is neither examined nor boring, and it is normal to have no motivation. However, this is only a temporary situation, I have prepared some practice materials for the students, as long as everyone completes the daily exercises, they can enter next door to us. ”

Liu Shuixin patted the wall behind him and said with a smile: "The computer room next door to us is installing debugging equipment, and the first thirty students who have completed the exercise content every day can enter there and learn more in-depth computer knowledge." Including the hardware assembly and maintenance of the Pentium computer, the setup and operation of the EOS system, and most importantly, you can log on to the network and chat and play games with the members of the National Communist Youth League. ”

"I'm saying it now, maybe you don't understand it deeply. In this way, are there any students who have mastered the five-stroke font input method, we can demonstrate it first!"

Amgen had already widened his eyes after hearing the in-depth course content that Liu Shuixin said.

Although he also has a Pentium computer at home, his father is like a baby, and it is already very difficult for him to use it, and it is impossible for him to disassemble the machine to see. However, how can a computer enthusiast not be interested in the internal hardware of a computer?

What does such a small chassis look like inside, and how can it achieve so many amazing functions?

Not to mention the Internet, the Internet, a word he had only heard in his father's mouth, and there was a device in the institute to connect computers to the network by telephone.

As for what the Internet is, he has long been curious.

"I will!" An Jin hurriedly raised his hand, for fear that this opportunity would be snatched away by someone if he was half a beat slower.

More than a dozen members of the team of the No. 1 Middle School raised their hands, and it was relatively easy for students in the city to get in touch with new things, and computer training classes were actually held in the Cultural Palace and the Children's Palace for a long time. Some students have already participated in this kind of extracurricular interest class when they were in junior high school.

Liu Shuixin pointed out these students, and then asked Liu Shan to take the other students out of the conference room in an orderly manner and into the slightly smaller computer room next to him.

Although equipment is still installed in this small computer room, and the wires and computers are a little messy, it looks much more exquisite than the large conference room next to it.

Especially those computers that have been assembled, in the eyes of the students, almost exude some kind of sci-fi light.

Amgen sat down in front of the computer with some excitement, and then connected to the Internet according to Liu Shuixin's instructions. Open the browser icon on your desktop and a navigation page will appear.

"This is the chat room, this is the bbs, this is the text mud. This is the new technology network, this is the ......"

Liu Shuixin gave Amgen a general introduction to the above website, and Amgen couldn't wait to choose a chat room and click in.

"Moonlight Chat Room, what's this?Nickname?"

"On the Internet, everyone doesn't use their real name, they have to give themselves a screen name. It's like, well, a pen name. ”

"Oh, that's it!"

Amgen thought for a long time, and entered the name "Bright as a Summer Flower" in the nickname column.

As soon as he entered the chat room, he was shocked by the flow of text that was rapidly scrolling on the screen.

Ruffian Cai: If I have 10 million, I can buy a house. Do I have? No, so I still don't have a house.

Rebus: Hello everyone, are_you_ok?

President Ma to Rebus: Your English is really bad, don't be ashamed!

Can't show: Guys, I recently wrote a novel called "She Died in the Chat Room", please give us more opinions.

......

Amgen looked at the dialogue on the screen with some blankness, and through the Internet, what appeared in front of him was a new world full of strange charm.
