In late October, Zhang Lexing and his entourage came to Beijing. It was still early to the time agreed with Dr. Yu and others, Zhang Lexing left the others and only brought a bodyguard to prepare for a trip home. He hasn't been back for almost six years, and Zhang Lexing has both expectation and a hint of trepidation. In his previous life, Zhang Lexing never went back after leaving his hometown, and the only thing he remembered was Uncle Zhao, who took care of him. When he went back this time, Zhang Lexing hoped to see Uncle Zhao, but he was a little worried about the unknown changes brought by time.

……

Zhang Lexing stood outside the gate of the state-owned Hongwei Machinery Factory, and at a glance, the gate of the factory had not changed much, but there were more mottled traces and it looked more dilapidated. The doorman is still the same Li Bo as before, but his hair is all white.

"Lieber, you're all right. ”

"Are you ......" Lieber's eyes behind his reading glasses were puzzled.

"Lieber, I'm Lexing. ”

"Oh. Li Bo seemed to remember, "Didn't you go to Hong Kong? Why did you come back again?

"No, Lieber. I'm back on an errand, and I happen to be a little empty, so I'll come back and have a look. ”

"Oh. I'm okay, but the efficiency of the factory is not very good. Li Bo's face darkened.

"It's going to be fine. Uncle Li, is Uncle Zhao coming to work today?"

"Lao Zhao, I was transferred away last year, and I heard that I was reunited with my son, but I don't know what the specific place is. Li Bo looked a little envious.

"Alas......" Zhang Lexing sighed, "Uncle Li, is our family's old house still there?"

"The house is still there, but the factory thought you wouldn't come back, so the house was arranged for the new engineer to live in. ”

Uncle Zhao is not there, and the old house where he lived already has new tenants, and there is nothing to worry about, Zhang Lexing is unwilling to stay here anymore, so he sets off to return to Beijing.

On the way from Zhang Lexing's hometown to Beijing, Zhang Lexing happened to pass through Baoding City, and Zhang Lexing remembered that there was a well-known figure in the future - Qiu Bojun, known as "China's No. 1 Programmer", who should be working in Xushui County near here at this time, so he took a trip along the way. Originally, I wanted to inquire about Qiu Bojun's situation at the instrument factory under the Geophysical Prospecting Bureau of the Ministry of Petroleum, but who knew that it was very unfortunate that Qiu Bojun asked for leave and went to Shenzhen, so he had to continue to Beijing.

After arriving in Beijing, Zhang Lexing waited at the Friendship Hotel for two days, and Lai Bingrong, Wu Guofa, Dr. Yu and others came together.

"Lexing, how are you doing in Beijing?" Dr. Yu looked very happy to see Zhang Lexing.

"I'm fine, you're going well on the road. The people who were waiting finally came, and Zhang Lexing was also very happy.

"It went well. Dr. Yu gestured to the side with his hand, "This is Lai Bingrong, the representative of Intel Corporation, and next to him is Wu Guofa, the representative of Compaq Corporation." ”

"Mr. Lai, Mr. Wu, it's a pleasure to meet you, and you've had a hard time on the road. Zhang Lexing hurriedly greeted the two, "Let's rest first, let's go together tomorrow." ”

……

The next day, Zhang Lexing's China development plan officially began. Since I had already greeted him through official channels before, I was honored to be cordially received by the national leaders.

Diaoyutai State Guesthouse......

"Mr. Zhang, I didn't expect you to have a lot of achievements at a young age. There was still a hint of surprise on Deng Lao's face, perhaps because Zhang Lexing looked exceptionally young among the crowd.

"Chairman Deng, you can just call me Lexing. ”

"Lexing, I heard that you are going to donate money for education this time. ”

"Chairman Deng ......"

"Don't want the chairman, just call me Deng Lao. ”

"Mr. Deng, in order to support the education of the motherland, we plan to donate a batch of microcomputers to Peking University and Tsinghua University, each batch of which includes 15 sets of 286 computers and one set of the latest 386 computers. This Mr. Wu is a representative of Compaq, and this batch of computers is produced by their company. The Mr. Lai next to him is a representative of Intel, and the central processing units of these microcomputers are provided by their company. Zhang Lexing said as he glanced at a few people next to him.

Seeing Zhang Lexing's eyes, Lai Bingrong, Wu Guofa, Dr. Yu and others understood and immediately expressed their willingness to support the motherland's education to Deng Lao.

"Your behavior is very commendable, you can rest assured, I will arrange relevant personnel to deal with the donated equipment. Deng Lao was very happy and expressed encouragement to Zhang Lexing and others.

"Deng Lao, we have another idea. The future is the century of computers, and the development of computers is inseparable from software, so our three companies want to sponsor a software design competition, hoping to select a group of outstanding talents to contribute to the software industry of the motherland. ”

"That's a good idea, you can consider it. ”

"The initial idea is to divide this competition into adult and junior categories, so that it can also give teenagers a chance. ”

"Good, good idea. Elder Deng looked interested, "Director Song, you have to help handle this matter, but you can't live up to the wishes of overseas children." ”

"Elder Deng, don't worry, we will definitely handle this matter. Director Song nodded hurriedly in agreement.

"Mr. Deng, considering the current environment in China, I have conceived a plan to strengthen computer education. ”

"Oh, tell me about it. ”

"The current situation in China is that there is a lack of universal computer education platforms, and students lack practical opportunities. ”

"This should be resolved gradually. Deng Lao also sighed a little, "Minister Li, it seems that the Computer and Information Bureau below you is working on a Chinese learning machine project with Tsinghua University." ”

"Yes, we are already stepping up research, and it is estimated that we will be able to produce results next year. Minister Li explained.

"Mr. Deng, our company has also done some research on learning machines, and now we have come up with a prototype. Zhang Lexing said.

"Oh, is there a physical object to look at?" Deng Lao was very interested.

Zhang Lexing took out a set of FC-based learning machines from his entourage, which was actually modified using the FamilyBasic keyboard, but it cannot display Chinese for the time being. Plugging in an educational cassette to learn the operation of the Kylin system, Zhang Lexing personally demonstrated it on the TV in the living room.

After watching the demonstration, Deng Lao immediately found the problem: "Your learning machine doesn't seem to be able to display Chinese yet?"

"This problem can be solved, there are the best Chinese character display technical talents in China, and I hope to further improve the system here." ”

"But is it necessary to use two sets of learning machine systems?" Minister Li interjected, obviously more nervous about his Chinese learning machine.

"Deng Lao, Minister Li's Chinese learning machine seems to be developed according to Apple II as far as I know, although you can use the rich software resources on the Apple II platform, but due to the limitations of the architecture, the display effect of the Chinese learning machine will not be too good, which greatly limits the performance of educational software. And my learning machine has a special image processing chip, so the picture display effect is much better, and the educational software can also be designed to be more interesting, so that students will be more interested. As long as the purpose of education can be achieved, there is nothing wrong with having a few more sets of learning machines, no matter which one succeeds, it is the students who will always benefit in the end. ”

In fact, these reasons are only one aspect, or it is more worthy of the table, this learning machine platform can not only be used for computer knowledge and other aspects of education, but also a game platform for a period of time in the future, Zhang Lexing hopes to rely on his own efforts to make this happy time longer, but this is impossible to publicize under China's national conditions.

Perhaps Zhang Lexing's reasons were more convincing, and finally Deng Lao agreed with Zhang Lexing's learning machine plan, and instructed Minister Li to pay attention to where to build a factory, as long as it does not violate the policy, it should be more inclined in the policy.

……

After the talks and lunch, Zhang Lexing and his entourage returned to the Friendship Hotel. At the gate of the hotel, Zhang Lexing met a young man who looked like he was in his early twenties and looked very ordinary, and after talking, he learned that he was the liaison officer sent by the Foreign Affairs Office to be in charge of communication, and the young man's name was Wang Bin.

During dinner, Wang Bin brought the news that tomorrow Zhang Lexing and others will be accompanied by Deputy Director He of the State Education Commission to visit Peking University and Tsinghua University, and a ceremony will also be held in the two schools to donate microcomputers. Zhang Lexing was not very interested in this kind of official event, so he easily pushed the matter to Dr. Yu, and the reason was very high-sounding - "Dr. Yu looks more mature and reliable", of course, Zhang Lexing was reluctant to go There is an important reason, because he is going to visit a few talents.

Speaking of visiting talents, Zhang Lexing suddenly found that he didn't know where those people were, except for knowing their deeds, achievements, and the fact that they should be in Beijing now, he could be said to know nothing else. Zhang Lexing sighed in his heart: "In Beijing in 1986, where should I go to find you?"

He had no choice, Zhang Lexing had to start trying from the people around him, and Wang Bin, who was in charge of contact, became his preferred target, "Wang Bin, are you familiar with people in Beijing?"

"I know a little bit about it, I don't know who you are looking for, Mr. Zhang?" replied politely.

"One is Yan Yuanchao, who has designed CC, oh, and has participated in the design of the Great Wall 0520CH. The second is Wu Xiaojun, who designed the 2.13 Chinese character system, which now seems to be in a chemical factory. The third is Zhou Zhinong, who has designed nature, no, it should be the design of the Chinese character operating system, as if it was in some research institute. "Zhang Lexing almost made a mistake several times, but fortunately he turned around in time, there is no way, it is inevitable that there will be some sequelae after changing history.

"Well, I haven't heard of it, but I can help you find out. I don't know if these three people have been contacted by Mr. Zhang before?"

"I haven't been in touch before, but I'm actually hearsay. Because I wanted to make a career in Japan, I was very interested in this kind of technical talent, and I wanted to visit it, but unfortunately I didn't know where they were. ”

"Oh, I'll let you know there's news. ”

"Okay. Zhang Lexing remembered something important again: "Wang Bin, do you have any acquaintances in the patent office?"

"What do you need?"

"I have some patents that I want to apply for, but I don't know much about the application process in China, so I want to know about it first. ”

"It's easy to do, I have a classmate who works at the patent office, and if you don't mind, I can accompany you. ”

"Let's go tomorrow, I'm free. ”

"Tomorrow, isn't Mr. Zhang going to attend the donation ceremony?"

"Someone is already in charge of that matter, and I hope to get the patent done as soon as possible, as soon as possible. ”

"Alright, I'll pick you up tomorrow. ”
