Chapter 0177 - A Programming Genius Wants to Apprentice
Limited by today's industrial level, Tang Huan promised to design a portable computer for Hawking, which can naturally only be a concept of a laptop computer in the previous life regardless of cost, and the real marketization is still too early, according to the historical trajectory of development, the Odyssey computer that will appear next year is a clear proof.
However, compared with taking this opportunity to showcase Zheru's technology and products in high-end academic circles, the resources consumed by this project are still very worthwhile.
After Tang Huan said goodbye to Hawking and returned to the hotel, he felt that in the luxurious room, Christina, who had been asking for too much pleasure, was really unaccustomed to it, and it happened that the ticket to Copenhagen had been booked, so he simply left for Denmark the next day to find Anders at the Danish Technical University? Hellsberg.
In Tang Huan's eyes, the most impressive thing about this country is probably the 1992 European Football Championship, where Denmark replaced the banned Yugoslavia, and won the championship all the way, creating a "Danish fairy tale".
Bicycles are also highly popular in Denmark and are a common means of transportation, so Tang Huan easily found one and leisurely turned around in the Danish Technical University, an ancient university founded in 1829.
Although he doesn't know Danish, English and German are the most commonly used foreign languages in Denmark, so Tang Huan won't have any trouble, he searched all the way according to the department, and soon searched for the target of this trip - Anders? Hellsberg.
This genius, who is just 20 years old this year, is busy on a Nascom computer at this time, so Tang Huan is not in a hurry to bother.
Although it cannot be compared with Silicon Valley in the United States, it is a developed country. Microcomputers with simple architectures are not a mysterious rarity in Denmark. For example, Nascom is a single board computer that uses Z80 CPU. It is necessary to assemble all parts including microprocessors, memory, input and output interfaces, etc., on a single circuit board, and similar devices can be seen on the Takushima side.
The young Helsberg was very attentive and didn't pay attention to Tang Huan on the side, he looked at the data on the paper tape and wrinkled his eyebrows, obviously encountering a problem.
Tang Huan looked at it for a while and found that the programming language used by Helsberg was the PASCAL that made him famous in his previous life.
As an expert, Tang Huan was naturally much more sophisticated than Halesberg at this time, and quickly judged the key to these problems. So he pointed.
Instead of grinning and complaining, "If you hadn't bothered me, I would have figured it out," Helsberg did as the egotistical young technician did, but after some thought, he adjusted.
Seeing this scene, Tang Huan nodded secretly, this young man has a good temperament, and he is really useful.
When this code was successfully debugged, Helsberg's face showed pure joy, and he turned his head and smiled and asked, "Are you a professor?" It's amazing. ”
Tang Huan smiled noncommittally. "It's a lot of fun, and I have time anyway. Why don't we try to work together and get it done? ”
Helsberg listened to this suggestion, his eyes lit up, and he gladly agreed.
So the two began to work together, and they were busy until the early hours of the next day, and finally it was completed, and a Z80 version of the PASCAL compiler core was born, and in this process, Tang Huan was the conductor and Helsberg was the executor.
Seeing that the program output the correct results, Tang Huan's prestige in Helsberg's heart quickly rose from neutrality to worship.
"It's unbelievable that it was done so quickly, Don, don't you have a computer in your head?"
Tang Huan ignored Hellsberg's broken thoughts, but ate a few bites of cake with coffee, and secretly sighed in his heart, "Fortunately, I expected it and ordered food as a backup, otherwise I would have to be hungry and stick to my back." In other words, my brother hasn't worked so hard for a long time, but in order to subdue this genius, he can't help but show some real skills. ”
Halsberg also padded his stomach, regained some energy, and then said, "Don, where are you teaching, I will go over and be your student." ”
Looking at Helsberg's sincere face, Tang Huan couldn't help but laugh in his heart, he really thought that his brother was a teacher, in the original time and space, you were the architect of all the TurboPascal versions and the first 3 versions of Delphi, Microsoft. The concept initiator and chief architect of .NET, if I take you as an apprentice now, I will inevitably be suspected of selling my reputation.
However, the relationship between the two sides has quickly narrowed through cooperation, and it is time to show the hole cards.
"I'm not a professor, but I work for a computer company in Silicon Valley, and I happened to meet you on a business trip to Denmark and visiting friends at the same time." After rationalizing his appearance, Tang Huan made no secret of his appreciation for Helsberg, and suggested: "I found that you have a great talent for programming, and you should go to Silicon Valley to experience it, otherwise it would be a pity." ”
After receiving the praise of his idol, Hailsberg, who was originally tired, immediately flushed with red and refreshed, "The Silicon Valley of the United States is really desirable, but I am still in school, and I can't afford the cost of the plane ticket." ”
Seeing that Hellsberg looked a little embarrassed, Tang Huan laughed, "In this way, I will take care of your travel expenses and send you to my company in Silicon Valley in the United States to visit, I believe it will be enough to further improve your understanding of computing." ”
For the olive branch thrown by the idol, the aggressive hairy young man almost didn't think much about it, so he accepted it excitedly.
However, Hailsberg is also very strong, "If possible, I am willing to repay your generous support through work." ”
That's exactly what I wanted, Tang Huan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
While his heart was happy, he naturally made a gesture of taking care of the young man's self-esteem on the surface, and encouraged the other party along the way.
After listening to Tang Huan's various beautiful descriptions of Silicon Valley in the United States, Halesberg followed Tang Huan to London without hesitation, and the traffickers were not polite, and sent the other party to the United States directly at the airport.
Young people are really aggressive, and I don't want to think about whether you can get a work visa just with your current qualifications, but my brother won't pit you, a promising little brother, and it's a big deal to go to Singapore again.
After Tang Huan returned to the hotel where he stayed in London, he got the latest news of Christina's search for Hokson's treasure, and it went relatively well. The Rouse family is all right, and the female ship king is about to start negotiations to obtain land ownership.
Tang Huan was a little worried, so he decided to go over and take a look for himself.
From Greater London to Suffolk County, the honorary county of Essex was not far away, and he quickly arrived at the place, just in time for the negotiation process.
According to Tang Huan's suggestion, Christina's superficial work was very sufficient, and she looked like a treasure of feng shui, and seriously turned around Hockson several times, and finally fell in love with the place where Rouse's house was.
After hearing that Christina planned to buy her own house for vacation, the family strangely refused, even if the female boat king indicated that she would live for three or five years at most, and if the other party wanted to, she could buy it back at the original price.
In this way, it is not without reason that the discoverer of the treasure of the original time and space is known for his honesty, and some clues can be seen in the reality of this family in front of him, which is inseparable from his homeland and regards money as dung.
However, Christina obviously didn't see it that way, and muttered angrily, "This family is so greedy, I will increase the price later, and I don't believe that I can't satisfy them." ”
Tang Huan smiled slightly, and asked noncommittally, "Have you searched with a metal detector?" ”
"Of course." Christina, whose face was relieved, nodded, her eyes flashed with excitement, "It's the same as what you said, there are definitely precious metals under the courtyard of the Rouse family." ”
"Then I'll come forward for the next negotiation, you guys are too condescending, and I don't feel comfortable watching it." Tang Huan directly took over the job.
"Alright then, it's up to you, dear." Christina, though a little unconvinced, agreed.
And Tang Huan's next performance also gave the female boat king a glimpse of what is called skill.
Tang Huan first chatted with the Rolls family, praised their children for looking smart, and expressed their understanding of their homeland.
Next, Tang Huan reiterated once again that his girlfriend really fancied their house, and if the Rolls family was still nostalgic for this village, he could be responsible for finding another place, and the Rolls family only needed to move in the village.
In short, in addition to the conditions promised before are still valid, Tang Huan is also willing to help the children of the Rouse family get a better educational environment.
Perhaps moved by Tang Huan's approachability, sincerity, or the promise of funding their children's education played a role, the Rouse family really relented.
Seeing this result, Christina couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
"Learn a little, it's called skill." Tang Huan smiled and patted Christina, "I've reminded you that showing off your wealth is often counterproductive." ”
After the agreement was reached, Tang Huan quietly probed in the yard in the name of measuring the land, and sure enough, the metal detector reacted obviously.
After all, not all families are as strange as the Rouse family, and soon one family happily sold the house and moved away, while the Rouse family quickly moved over, and the original courtyard was vacated.
That night, Tang Huan picked a place in the courtyard with the most obvious reaction to excavate, and when he went deep into the ground for one and a half meters, he began to find some ancient Roman silver coins and a gold coin. (To be continued......)
