Chapter 192: Changing the World
The next day, Lin Hong had just eaten breakfast, and the car sent by Phyllis had already arrived at the door. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Of course, before this, the driver had already contacted Lin Hong, but fortunately, mobile phones are becoming more and more popular, and the driver carries a phone with him.
Lin Hong also felt the convenience, and wondered if he would buy a mobile phone to use after his patent was sold?
The last time I saw Kevin demonstrate the function of a mobile phone, this thing seems to be very similar to a radio station, but the signal that can be received is strictly limited by the mobile phone manufacturer.
Lin Hong said hello to Vena and got into a special car and rushed to New York.
The first time he enjoyed the service of someone to pick him up, he felt a little novel. The brand of this car is Mercedes-Benz, I heard that Matthew said that this brand is German, taken from the surname of the inventor of the first car, with a history of more than 100 years, and the price is quite expensive. However, Lin Hong didn't care about this kind of transportation at all before, and he didn't know very well.
After the short novelty passed, Lin Hong took out the improved calculator he carried with him and began to play the game to pass the time.
Although he didn't sleep all night yesterday, his spirit has always been so good, and standing in the morning tri-body pose completely eliminated his originally tired spirit.
Last night, Lin Hong and Linus talked late about the Linux system.
Modifying and improving the system on the basis of the existing one is standing on the "shoulders of giants", but it is not so simple to redesign an operating system with a new architecture.
It is necessary to have a clear understanding of the details of the computer hardware and each step of the software operation hardware, not only that, but also to consider whether the architecture of the self-designed is reasonable and scalable.
There is so much to think about.
The two of them were very optimistic about the system's capabilities at first, and mentioned all the features they could think of, but after the hot-headedness, they realized that these features were all later, and now the key was to write a system that could make the computer work bare.
Activating means that the self-test can be passed smoothly, and then the characters can be easily displayed on the display. Even if it's as simple as displaying the input on the keyboard directly on the display.
Don't look at the simplicity of this function, but the technology involved behind it is quite complex, and with the technology of Lin Hong and Linus, it will not be possible to solve it for a while.
The two agreed that they would go and find relevant information to practice again.
Of course, during this period, they still have to find time to enrich the software under the minix, at least so that they can fully work in this operating system without having to switch back and forth frequently.
They will use the minix operating system as the development environment, and finally compile the kernel of the new operating system.
At present, the more urgently needed programs include FTP software, BBS login and browsing software, and email sending and receiving clients.
With these three software, you can temporarily meet your basic needs without having to switch to another system to get the job done.
Linus decided to first see if there was any suitable open source software under the GNU platform, and if so, he would port it, otherwise he would have to consider developing it himself.
Lin Hong, on the other hand, has studied the source code of the minix in detail in these days, and has truly understood and mastered the textbook.
A few hours later, the driver pulled over to the front of the Morgan Building on Wall Street.
"Mr. Lin, we're here." The driver turned his head and said to Lin Hong, who was already bored and lying in the back seat with his eyes closed.
Lin Hong sat up, looked outside, and asked, "Where is Phyllis now?" ”
"Miss should be in the president's office, she ordered, after arriving, let me take you directly."
The driver parked the car in a parking space next to it, and then got out of the car to help Lin Hong open the car door, and waited very thoughtfully.
"Thank you!" Lin Hong thanked him politely, glanced at him, and felt that there was a sense of resoluteness between his every move, and this person did not seem to be an ordinary driver.
"This way, please."
The driver raised his hand and let Lin Hong go first.
The headquarters of the Morgan Building is located at a T-junction, the whole building is in a triangular shape, and the streets on the left and right are just in front of the entrance of the Morgan Building.
Lin Hong stood in front of the building and looked up, as if he saw a huge ship sailing towards him in the wind and waves.
In a sense, this is indeed a financial giant ship, swimming in the world's financial oceans, which has twice led the US economy back from the dead and out of the quagmire facing collapse.
At the driver's suggestion, Lin Hong stepped into the grand gate of the headquarters of the Morgan Consortium, which was several people high.
"Is your president, Mr. Morgan, in the office today?" When going up the stairs, Lin Hong suddenly remembered this question.
"It should be there, usually there."
"Uh...... So I'm going to go in like that, okay? ”
Lin Hong suddenly felt awkward.
It was true that he knew Phyllis, but he had never met President Morgan, and he didn't know what kind of person the other party was. Moreover, from the point of view of Phyllis's friend, it seems that it is not appropriate to visit directly and blessedly like this.
"This ...... Perhaps. The driver was also stopped by his question.
He didn't know what Lin Hong's relationship was with Miss, his task was to pick up people and take them to the office.
has come here, Lin Hong will be too late even if he feels that it is inappropriate.
But on second thought, it didn't make sense for him to care too much about these details, even if he was the president of Morgan? I didn't ask him to do anything, and I didn't do anything bad, just like I usually do, and he was Phyllis's father to put it bluntly.
Lin Hong quickly adjusted his mentality, and his mood entered a state of calm.
After going upstairs, I came to the last room at the end of the corridor, and the driver knocked on the door.
"Please come in!" A loud voice rang out.
"Mr. Lin, please!"
Lin Hong strode in.
It was a very large office, very empty, and the first thing that caught your eye was a bronze desk behind which sat a middle-aged man in his forties.
He is the current head of the Morgan consortium, Koslin Morgan!
After Lin Hong entered the office, the driver quickly looked inside, with a slight look of surprise on his face, and then gently closed the door.
"You are?" Kosling Morgan looked up, stunned slightly.
"Hello, Mr. Morgan, I'm a friend of Phyllis, and my English name is stone*lin." Lin Hong looked directly into the other party's eyes without saying a word and smiled, "Phyllis asked me to come here and wait for her." Isn't she here now? ”
Cosling did not answer Lin Hong's words, but looked Lin Hong up and down several times with deep and sharp eyes.
Lin Hong could clearly feel that the air seemed to freeze in an instant, and a strong pressure seemed to be coming towards him.
Lin Hong's face changed slightly, this feeling, he had only felt from his nominal grandfather.
The momentum of the superior?
Many such experiences, coupled with his own unique abilities, made Lin Hong realize that there really seems to be a wonderful energy in the human spirit that can have an impact on other people.
A person may be an ordinary person, but when he becomes a general in charge of thousands of armies, or the head of a large company, then his whole momentum will gradually change.
Lin Hong once heard Master say that in Taijiquan, there is a high-level style of fighting, called "witnessing", which can simply deter others with his gaze. is a bit similar to the "" in the novel, ordinary people are stared at by masters who have reached this realm, and they may even be taken away from their minds and disposed of.
It is said that there were masters who witnessed the realm on the rivers and lakes back then, and used this method to obscene/insult good families.
Just as Lin Hong was in a state of thought, President Morgan finally spoke.
"So you're Stone, and Phyllis was waiting here early this morning." A habitual smile appeared on Koslin's face, "She's just gone out for some business and should be back soon." ”
After speaking, Koslin stood up from his chair, and then beckoned Lin Hong to sit down on the sofa next to him.
"Do you want a drink?"
Lin Hong shook his head: "No need, thank you!" ”
"Hehe, don't be too restrained, just treat it as if this is your own home." Koslin picked up the cigar in his hand and took a puff, then gently exhaled a puff of smoke.
"I've never heard anything about you before, but this morning I suddenly mentioned that AT&T was going to buy your patent. The lad is good, at a young age, he became a millionaire through his own abilities! When I was your age, I was still wasting my parents' money unknowingly......"
Lin Hong sat next to him and listened quietly.
"When did you and Phyllis meet? Was there a big bank robbery last time? Scott realized he was going a little far, and he turned the conversation back.
"I've known her for several years."
"How many years?" Scott had a look of surprise in his eyes.
"That's ......"
Lin Hong briefly told the process of getting to know Phyllis, which made Scott sigh at the magic of the encounter.
The two of them sat here and talked like friends on an equal footing.
Lin Hong actually knew that this old fox had been slowly probing his bottom, but he didn't want to hide anything from this at all, basically saying something, anyway, these public things, if he wanted to check, it was easy to find out.
"Stone, do you have any long-term plans for the future? Or planning. for the future of life. ”
"This ...... I like computer technology more, and my future path should be related to this. As for life planning, I haven't thought that far ahead for the time being. "Oh? This is not a good habit. As a man, you should be ambitious, and when you come to this world, you have to leave something in this world to prove that you once existed. Do you say yes? ”
Lin Hong thought seriously for a moment and said, "Maybe I will use my own technology to change the world." ”
Scott just smiled when he heard this, and he didn't say anything about it, but Lin Hong knew that the other party didn't take his words seriously.
He then asked, "I'm curious, what do you want to do with the money after your patents are sold?" (To be continued.)
