Chapter 29: Shooting Contest (1/3)
Under Du Zhong's stunned gaze, Su Muzhen gently picked up the mouse and shook it with a hesitant expression.
Seeing that Du Zhong did not react, he shook it twice again, and after shaking it back and forth, he swayed left and right.
was stupidly cried by Su Mu, Du Zhong couldn't cry or laugh, and when he shook his head, he said, "That's not the case!"
Forget it, you come over first, I'll show you okay, Li Ping'an is so stupid that he knows what to do, you will really pick up the mouse and shake!"
"Blame me, I told you I don't know how to operate it, it looks like it's amazing. After Su Mu put the mouse on the table, he got up and got out of the way.
In this era, private computers have just entered people's lives, and there are no more than 100,000 private computers in the world, most of which are placed at home or in the company as decorations, and IBM only launched the world's first personal computer in August 1981, "personal computer" This nascent market was born, with only 16K bytes of memory, it can't handle anything, the desktop graphics operating system has only been born in the last two years, the first instant chat software was born twelve years later, the computer and Internet industry is almost still a scorched earth, Su Mu doesn't understand anything is normal, stupid and a little cute.
Du Zhong has been crushed by Su Mu since he was a child, he has good reading grades, and he likes to read newspapers, and he rarely encounters things he doesn't understand, at this moment he saw Su Mu out of trouble, happily sat in front of the computer and demonstrated to him, and said: "See this arrow......?"
After he clicked, it took two or three seconds to open the recycle bin, Microsoft operating system is not yet popular, many of Apple's keys are reversed, such as the mouse, and the left button is confirmed.
It was enough to amaze Su Mu, while listening to Du Zhong's introduction, while learning how to operate it, a light suddenly flashed in his head, and at this moment he really came into contact with the computer, and unexpectedly found that if there is a wire connecting the two ends of the computer, just like a telephone line, it should be possible to achieve many things, such as sending texts, watching movies, etc., provided that the technology is advanced enough.
This era can't do it, but it doesn't mean that the future can't do it, the radio he listened to in those days, the biggest impact on him is to depict a magical "future world", which enriched Su Mu's imagination, he never thought about what computers would develop into before, and the content of the radio made him start to think.
If it weren't for the fragmentary content on the radio, maybe the computer was just a computer in his eyes, but now he has been full of imagination about the development of computers and the Internet, which is the one percent inspiration, not to mention deeply fascinated by it, in fact, the current Apple computer is difficult to fascinate people, but it makes Su Mu full of interest, trying to figure out how it is structured and how to achieve its function.
Thinking of those radio hosts, who often say "search the official website on the Internet for information", he asked Du Zhong: "If I want to find something that is not stored on your computer, such as information posted by others, what should I do?"
The newspaper has written that the future of the Internet is to share information, how to share it, can you see it?"
"Yes...... It's very troublesome, and you have to connect to the Internet, which is very expensive, and my computer can't do it, but it can be in some schools. ”
I don't know much about these eucommia, so I continued: "My dad bought this for office, he went to ask the telecom operator, and he can't access the network for the time being, why are you asking this?"
U.S. operators are privately run, and they will not invest in building networks until they do have enough benefits, and only a few areas can access the network in this era, and the network has not really entered people's lives, but it has already begun.
"I'm just asking, you go ahead. When Su Mu heard that he could, he was even more skeptical that those ideas would be able to become a reality in the future, he was still young, and he didn't think about what he was going to do, but he just thought that if it came true, then it would be great......
Simple card game, it was very interesting when I first played it, but after playing it a few times, it was very boring, there was only one game on the computer, and it was not even as fun as the arcade in the game hall, no wonder Li Ping'an said it was boring.
Su Mu did not stay at Du Zhong's house for dinner, he walked home at seven o'clock, it was already dark, when he passed by the bookstore, he went in to ask the shopping guide, and found a few books related to the Internet, the price was too expensive, so he simply read it in the bookstore, turned the pages one by one, and quickly "stole" the contents.
It was not appropriate to just read but not buy, so he read three copies, bought one that he hadn't read yet, and took it home after checking out......
**************************
The next day.
Xu Haifeng's pistol slow-fire competition was scheduled for the morning, Su Mu went to work at the convenience store as usual, and Boss Han went out for something, so he took time to pay attention to the game during the cleaning period, and when the pistol slow-fire competition began, he stood in front of the TV and waited for the results to come out.
Although he didn't pay for it, it was two hundred and fifty dollars after all, and that little hope of winning money stimulated his nerves, which were not tenacious, and on the other hand, he was looking forward to whether he would meet Kate again, Su Mu hoped that Kate would also be interesting to him, so he should come to the convenience store again to buy things, and she knew that she was here.
The results of the first round of shooting came out quickly, Xu Haifeng ranked second, which was a very frightening result, and Su Mu's eyes lit up when he saw the ranking, if he got the first place, it would mean seven thousand five hundred dollars, or money falling from the sky, so that even if he failed to fight for a publicly-funded place, he would not have to worry about the tuition fees of the first year.
The SSAT test is very good, but Su Mu is not sure that he has competed with other students in specialties, interviews and other links, and the hope of winning the publicly-funded places can only be said to be very large, not absolute, and each school only has a few places, so he has to consider these issues in advance.
When watching TV, there are often guests who come in to buy things, and they can only take time to look at the TV during their busy periods, and Boss Han is not there, so he needs to be responsible for shopping guide and collecting money.
When time flies very slowly, and the picture sometimes jumps to other competitions, ABC TV got the exclusive broadcast rights, which means that you can only see the live broadcast of the Olympics on ABC TV, spending more than 200 million US dollars, all kinds of advertisements are inserted, and advertisements are also implanted on the field.
Finally waited for the finals, the last ten shots could determine the winner, at this time several customers walked in, secretly unlucky and had to receive them at the same time, and when he returned to the cashier, he just heard that the first gold medalist of the Olympic Games had appeared, and his name was - Xu Haifeng!
Manager David, who was far away at William Hill Gaming Company, instantly became strange when he heard the news......
