Chapter 141: Feeding the Chickens?

Looking at the VCD home theater in front of him, which was regarded as a treasure by Secretary Zhao and usually locked in the house, Wang Yong really didn't know what to say.

This thing is really a bit dismissive to him who has memories of the future. Not to mention that later generations popularized computers, even DVDs are better than this thing.

Don't talk about any clarity, picture quality or anything. Rural people are not so particular and no one cares, in fact, VCD is enough for most people in this regard.

But there is one thing that VCDs can't compare to DVDs, and that is the ability to correct errors. Anyone who has ever used a VCD knows that the disc of this thing, as long as there are a few scratches, it may be completely wasted.

And what about DVDs? It's often that the disc is not scratched, and when you put it in the machine, it will still be played normally. Although VCD also came up with an improved version of super error correction ability, what is the use of that?

VCD discs can be played back using a DVD player, which is perfectly fine. But can a DVD disc be played on a VCD?

This is certainly not possible!

There is also a VCD disc with a small capacity, and those who have used it know that sometimes a movie needs two or three VCD discs. And what about DVDs? The people on the street who sell pirated compressed discs will surely give you a very obvious answer.

"I said, Secretary Zhao, can this be taken care of like a treasure like you? These are all things that will be eliminated in a few years, and whoever wants to use them can let him play with them! โ€

Hearing Wang Yong's words, Secretary Zhao and Liu Jie were stunned at first, and then looked at Wang Yong with wide eyes and disbelief.

In their opinion, how could the VCD, which is now popular and made by the overwhelming number of advertisements on TV, be eliminated so quickly? Do you want to be reinstated by those clunky VCRs?

"Don't look at me like that, don't believe me?"

Wang Yong's divine stick attribute began to explode!

"I'll give you a science popularization, this VCD can be regarded as the lowest version of the DVD player. It won't be long before a large number of upgrades, or Ultimate, begin to replace these old-fashioned VCDs. โ€

"Huh?"

"Is it called a DVD?"

After all, Liu Jie is a junior high school graduate, and she still has some knowledge. What's more, in fact, now that the DVD technical standard has been available, many media have reported it.

"DVD, short for digital multi-function disc, is a kind of optical disc memory, which is used to play movies with TV definition, high-quality music and large-capacity storage data."

"In appearance, it's similar to CDs, VCDs, and so on. We ordinary people generally can't see any difference. But even the smallest single-sided DVD has seven times the capacity of a VCD! โ€

"And DVD can be compatible with many modes, which means that it can play not only DVD discs, but also VCD discs, and CD discs."

Lao Secretary Zhao understood this time, it turned out that he spent a lot of money, gritted his teeth and bought this home theater turned out to be a backward thing that was about to be eliminated!

Wang Yong secretly looked at Secretary Zhao's face was wrong, and after a little pondering, he understood what was wrong with him, and hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort him. After all, although DVDs have already been released, they want to become popular in rural areas. We'll have to wait a few years.

Although Wangjiazhuang is rich and not short of that money, there is no manufacturer in China that has started to produce DVDs, right? Even imported DVDs have not yet begun to enter the country.

"This thing can be used for two or three years, and in two or three years, I guess it will be the world of DVDs."

Secretary Zhao heard Wang Yong say this. I feel better. It can still be used for two or three years, and that's good. This thing is kept in the village, and it has to be used every night, and it should be eliminated after two or three years.

Old Secretary Zhao just had a smile on his face. Wang Yong beat him back to the prototype with one sentence.

"Then, it is estimated that it will be eliminated by microcomputers."

"Feed the chickens? What does feeding chickens have to do with this? โ€

"Poofโ€”"

When Wang Yong was still stunned, Liu Jie, who understood the taste, couldn't help laughing first. The little girl smiled and leaned back. Tears came out.

Wang Yong touched the back of his head very embarrassedly, looked at the puzzled old Secretary Zhao with a wry smile, and had to give him the concept of microcomputer science again.

"A microcomputer, also known as a computer, is a small electronic computer, an electronic device, not feeding chickens!"

"Microcomputer? Computer? What is it for? Wait, wait, where do I see that word? You make me think, let me think first. โ€

Looking at the old Secretary Zhao who bowed his head and pondered, Wang Yong smiled.

Of course, this old secretary, who used to read newspapers and listen to the radio every day and cared about national affairs, had seen or heard this word.

Since the reform and opening up, the development and application of electronic technology has been valued and supported by the state, and various media have reported on this aspect.

"I think about it, I think about it, a few years ago, it seems that Master Deng said that this computer education should start from the baby, is it the microcomputer you said?"

"yes, that's it. A microcomputer, also called a computer. It is said that this thing has begun to spread abroad and has slowly entered the homes of ordinary people. Some experts say that after the 21st century, if you don't know how to use computers, it will be equivalent to our current illiteracy. โ€

"Huh? Is this thing so important? โ€

"Of course, I've heard that even the state is promoting the use of computers. By the way, I heard that there are more than 20 computers in the junior high school donated by Japan in Tiezhuang Township, if you still don't understand, take the time to go over and take a look, and then you will understand everything. โ€

Secretary Zhao's eyes lit up, it turned out that this microcomputer such a tall thing ran to his side? Well, I'll let people send them over to see later, and if it's really a good thing, the ones who smash the pot and sell iron will also buy a few for the dolls in the village to learn.

But soon he wondered, what kind of microcomputer is this, what can it do? Why is it so important?

"Then what can this microcomputer do?"

Hearing Secretary Zhao's question, Wang Yong was also stunned. yes, what can this computer do? How do you answer that? Could it be that Secretary Zhao can tell Secretary Zhao that this computer can access the Internet, chat, watch videos and play games online?

Wang Yong thought for a while. After sorting out his thoughts, he opened his mouth to explain to Secretary Zhao: "The computer has many functions, such as editing text materials, watching movies and TV series as we just said, and storing all kinds of information, if you connect to the Internet, it will be even more powerful." โ€

"Network? What web? โ€

"Internet!"

"What kind of net is this? I've seen cobwebs, fishnets! โ€

Wang Yong's mouth grinned, and his body was crooked and hung down. Nima, isn't this a well-known joke on the Internet? I didn't expect to encounter it in reality.

"It's not the kind of net you think, it's a technology. It can connect all computers in the world. Let me give you an analogy, you are in Wangjiazhuang, didn't I go to the capital a few days ago? If only we could have two computers connected to the Internet, we wouldn't have to make a phone call, and we could use this computer to chat. โ€

"So powerful? Who's going to use the phone again? โ€

"Not only that, but he can also see the latest news from all over the world, and he can find any news, movie, TV series you want to watch. In addition to these. There are even more powerful ones. For example, if your fruit tree has bugs, you don't know what medicine to take, so you search for it on the computer. The answer was immediately available. Let's put it this way, in the past few years, when the technology has advanced, your grandson Zhao Tianming has gone to study abroad. You miss your grandson. What do you do? โ€

"Call!"

"If you had a computer, you would be able to see your grandson on the computer, just like a face-to-face chat!"

"Shhhh

Comrade Lao Zhao was shocked. This powerful function that he never thought of made him completely moved, he must buy it, he must buy ten or eight of his units, and let the people in the village learn it in batches, and no one can learn it if they don't learn!

"Since this computer is so useful, then we have to buy eight out of ten in Wangjiazhuang. When the time comes, hire a teacher and let the whole village learn how to use this thing! โ€

Looking at the old secretary Zhao who was angry, Wang Yong didn't tell him that the computer doesn't have so many functions now, and the price of this thing is really not cheap now. I believe that after he goes to Tiezhuang Junior High School to see these things, he should have a clear understanding, and he can't afford to spit on him.

Secretary Zhao left in a hurry, he couldn't wait to see what this computer was like, why was it so powerful?

I don't know if it was Liu Jie or Secretary Zhao himself, but before the evening, almost everyone in the village knew that Secretary Zhao was going to buy a computer.

"Microcomputer? How can you still buy chickens? โ€

"Oh, it's a computer? The computer is a computer, what is it called? I'm confused. โ€

"What's the use of this microcomputer?"

"I heard that Liu Wei, who goes to school in the county No. 1 middle school in Nantou, often goes out to play with the computer at night, and their teacher has called their home several times about this!"

"Yes, I've heard that, too. It seems that this computer can play some kind of game! Just like that game console, this kid is addicted to it as soon as he plays it! It's better than smoking! โ€

"Huh? Then I don't want my son to learn that thing, he won't go to school well in the first place, and if he plays with this again, how will he get into college in the future? โ€

"You know! You think this computer can only play games? I'm telling you how useful computers are! โ€

"Really? What can he do? Can you tell us about it? โ€

"Yes, yes, Lao Liu, you are a teacher, you must know more than us, you tell me, what can this computer do, what are the benefits, let me Uncle Zhao be so concerned, I have to buy it?"

"I'm telling you, this computer is ......."

With the passage of time, it didn't take three days for Wangjiazhuang to set off a computer craze. There is nothing else to talk about at the dinner table of every house, the big girls and old ladies don't gossip when they get together, and even the elderly people in the village can tell you about the benefits of the computer.

Just when everyone began to look forward to when the village would be able to buy the computer back, Wang Yong's Wang family's private restaurant quietly opened. (To be continued......)
