Chapter 133 Super God Machine Asks for a Monthly Pass (Saint King txt download)

Vena came back so early today, on the one hand, to tidy up the lawn at home, and on the other hand, considering that Lin Hong had just arrived here, there were still many things to buy, and she planned to take him to the supermarket for a big purchase today.

Therefore, as soon as Lin Hong returned to the room, Vena called him down.

Although Lin Hong really wanted to finish those three books in one go at the moment, he really needed to go to the store to buy some things, anyway, he was not in a hurry.

The town is quite far from the city center, so a car is needed to get there.

In China, where there are a few people, there are bound to be all kinds of small shops, but this is not the case here.

In residential areas, it is rare to see shops, bars, etc., and if you need to buy something, you have to drive a long way to buy it, and you will buy a lot of things at one time, and then store them all in the warehouse or refrigerator.

Vina drove Lin Hong and Arthur to a supermarket in the city center.

For Lin Hong, the supermarket is a relatively new thing.

Although he had visited a department store with his mother when he was in Beijing, he had never seen a supermarket. He was very curious about these things, and if there was anything he didn't understand, he casually asked Vina.

Not long after arriving here, Lin Hong's personality began to slowly change, and he spoke much more often than when he was in China, which was the subtle influence of the surrounding environment on him, and he himself was not aware of this for the time being.

When Lin Hong first came to the United States, when he looked at the prices of things, he would often convert these prices into RMB according to the exchange rate, and then compare the two prices.

He found that the prices here are sometimes very expensive, some snacks can cost nearly ten dollars at every turn, but some electrical appliances are quite cheap compared to China.

There are a lot of things in the supermarket, it is almost all-encompassing, after Vina arrived here, she asked Lin Hong and Arthur to push a cart behind her, and then she began to buy like crazy, and everything was moved box by box.

At Vena's suggestion, Lin Hong also bought some things, mainly school supplies, such as pencils and paper. Because American middle school students don't usually use ballpoint pens or pens, schools are required to use pencils.

In addition to this, Lin Hong also bought an electronic calculator with the model number TI-82. It's a scientific calculator designed specifically for students, and Arthur says it'll be used in many future exams.

Lin Hong had never seen this kind of product since he was a child, and he took a look at the manual of this product and was deeply shocked by its functions and configurations. This product is produced by Texas Instruments, which can not only perform operations on power, square, exponent, logarithmic, trigonometric functions, statistics, etc., but also include function charting, polar coordinate mapping, parametric mapping, sequence mapping, statistical analysis, trigonometric and algebraic functions and other powerful functions.

Lin Hong was a little stunned when he looked at his configuration list, and he muttered in his heart: "This is completely a computer."

It's not his fault, the configuration of this calculator is a bit against the sky. The CPU is Z80, the frequency reaches 6MHz, the memory reaches 32KB, in addition, there is a flash memory that can be used to store data, the size is 512KB, through the data cable provided by the manufacturer, you can connect this calculator to the computer, so as to exchange data, in addition, this calculator also has a built-in infrared sensor, the calculator can exchange and collect wireless data between each other, the rate can reach 9.6K bits per second......

Lin Hong just took a general look at it, and felt that this thing was too powerful, in his opinion, it was completely a computer. Such a configuration is even more powerful than his Apple-II.

Is the hardware configuration of calculators already so high in the United States? Lin Hong couldn't help but sigh.

He asked for the price, a hundred dollars.

After converting it in his heart, about more than 470 yuan, Lin Hong gritted his teeth and finally bought it. According to Arthur, this thing is basically a necessity for every student, one for each student.

In addition, after Lin Hong bought another pair of pants and a pair of shoes, he went home with Vina.

Originally, Vina wanted to help Lin Hong pay, but he politely refused, the other party was good enough to him, he couldn't be ignorant, and he had to inch in.

※※※※※

After dinner, Arthur took the initiative to invite Lin Hong to his room.

Arthur's room is next door to Lin Hong, the size and layout are similar, but the layout and furnishings inside are a little different.

The walls are covered with various posters, most of which are Bruce Lee's, and there are also various sports equipment such as basketballs, tennis rackets, dumbbells, ice skates, etc......

On the balcony side, there's even a hanging sandbag. Lin Hong later tried it and found that it was not filled with sand, but it was quite weighty.

There was a desk next to his bed, on which there was a very new computer, Lin Hong looked at it, the brand was also Apple's, but it was not the Apple-II he saw, nor was it its upgraded version Apple-IIE.

Curious, Lin Hong asked, it turned out that this computer was a Macintosh computer that Apple only launched in March last year, and the model was MFX.

After Christmas this year, Arthur borrowed a sum of money from his parents, and then added his previous savings to successfully move this MFX home, he has been interested in this computer for a long time, and it took him nearly a year to get it.

Lin Hong asked about the configuration of this machine, and almost drooled out.

The CPU is Motoraro's MC68030, Lin Hong has no concept of this, but when he heard that the processing speed of this chip reached 40MHz, he was completely shocked.

40MHz, what is this concept? This speed is 40 times that of his Apple-II, and his computer in Beijing is only a pitiful 1MHz, Lin Hong thought it was very good at the time, but he didn't expect Arthur to use this speed. It's really better than not knowing, one to the next.

"How big is the memory?" Lin Hong swallowed his saliva and continued to ask.

"The standard configuration is 64MB, but I've upgraded it to the maximum capacity I can support, and Ser said with some pride.

This machine cost him several years of pocket money, and he also thought that his parents had borrowed a huge amount of money, and he didn't know when he would be able to pay it off. For the past few months, he has been pondering how to make money to pay off his debts.

Lin Hong: "......"

128mb？？ He almost wondered if he was hallucinating.

After confirming it again, he finally had to accept this fact. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by this data.

God, have computers come to this stage?

Lin Hong had the illusion that he seemed to be still in the Stone Age, while Arthur had already entered the Industrial Age.

What is the concept of 128MB?

You know, his machine only has a measly 4kb of memory.

1mb=1024kb

In other words, this machine has 32,768 times more memory than his one

"Me x" Lin Hong couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

What is an artifact? That's what he is, his ore radio is like the radio

Arthur looked back at him suspiciously, he didn't understand what that meant.

Lin Hong was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he hurriedly praised him that the configuration of this computer was simply amazing, he never thought that such a high-configuration computer had appeared in the United States.

In this regard, Arthur thought it was very common, and he told Lin Hong a law that was widely circulated in the computer world - Moore's Law.

Moore's Law was proposed by Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel. The content is that when the price remains the same, the number of transistors that can fit on an integrated circuit will double approximately every 18 months, and the performance will also be doubled. In other words, the performance of a computer that can be bought for every dollar will more than triple every 18 months.

Computers have been following this law until now, and although it is not very accurate, on the whole, this law is still very accurate.

"I still don't have much knowledge." Lin Hong sighed. It wasn't the first time he had thought so, he knew so little compared to Arthur. This is mainly due to the fact that he had almost no access to the latest scientific and technological knowledge before, and the content he saw in the library was basically something from decades ago.

Then, Arthur turned on the computer, and after a while, an operating system with a very beautiful interface was displayed in front of Lin Hong.

It looks much better than the operating system of the computer in his room, and the graphical interface is directly inside.

"This is the latest operating system that Apple just released last year, called the mac_system_software_6 series ......"

Arthur took the initiative to introduce Lin Hong.

"This is by far the most popular graphics operating system, Microsoft's Windows is based on his design in many ways, but it is not as beautiful as this system, Microsoft's interface is so rough, oh my God, I had to endure it for years to replace it" Arthur seems to be recalling a nightmare.

He looked back at Lin Hong and said, "I moved that computer to your room, although it is a bit outdated now, it can still be used normally, and its configuration is a little better than the computer configuration in our school computer room." Feel free to use it if you like. ”

Lin Hong nodded: "I like that machine very much, thank you"

Arthur then showed Lin Hong how to send and receive e-mails on the computer.

To send an email for the first time, you must first dial up the Internet using a modem, and then compose and send the message using the mail handler Pine.

Arthur filled in the other party's email address and his own address, then wrote a little bit of content casually and sent an email to Matthew.

In less than a minute, the system will prompt you to receive a new email. After clicking on it, I saw Matthew's reply, and he sent a picture in the email.

It's as simple as that?

After reading it, Lin Hong felt that the sending and receiving of this email was too simple, but then again, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't imagine what was going on. Only when you have seen it with your own eyes can you have a more intuitive cognition.

In fact, the key is to dial up the Internet, according to Arthur, this is a charge, and the reason is the same as charging for phone calls......
