Seymour? Clay truly deserves to be called a "recluse of the jungle"!

He chatted with the programmers at aRk for a few hours, got the protocol for the PC network, and within a few days of returning, he came up with a device that would allow the "Clay I" computers to work together.

It's said to be equipment, but in fact, it's some buses and boards, plus the program protocols that are burned in, and so on.

Seymour knew everything about himself, and the things he added were as good as the ones he had originally designed, and they were quickly put to the test. When he announced the news, it immediately shook the computer world, and before people woke up from IBm's level computers, cpT had come up with a device that could improve computers.

What the hell is going on here? Could it be that IBm and cpT are drugged?

Scientists all over the world were shocked, and they couldn't help but be shocked, just announced that they had built the world's fastest computer, and that they could make the "Cray I" computer work online multiple times, and they were far from IBm's computers.

As for the PCs produced by aRk, they were quietly launched on the market, and at first a few were given away with cpT's computers. Anyone who buys a cpT computer gets one or two pnetbsp; aRk named the PC "Noah" as a metaphor for the Ark and Noah's legends, as well as their ambitions.

Regardless of when these users bought it, even if they have been buying it for many years, they have received one or two "Noah" pnetbsp; In the face of the surprised looks of those users, cpT's marketing staff sincerely explained: "Our company has always paid attention to after-sales service, and this PC is compatible with the computer you purchased. And the ability to work together online. ”

"Uh, working online? Do you mean that you can make Noah's PC and your company's computer go online, and resources and data can be shared? ”

"Yes! That's right, you can try it out, and it's not just two Noah PCs connected. More Noah PCs are able to connect together! ”

Speaking of which, the employee personally turned on the computer and demonstrated the graphical operation interface developed by aRk on a small Noah PC. In the past, this operating system could only be seen on a level computer, and it could only support one terminal. Now users see that this Noah PC has such a powerful system. and a variety of rich functional uses, it is petrified on the spot.

"This, how much does this Noah PC cost?" The user hurriedly asked.

The employee said a pretty high number, but the price was the same as a cabbage price for a high-level computer. However, it can achieve a large part of the function, and it can't help but make users excitedly say, "Then I'm going to buy another 1o units, oh no." Buy 2o more units! ”

Even though aRk didn't advertise on TV or hold any press conferences, their Noah PCs were constantly being purchased by users. At the beginning, those users thought that this kind of Noah PC was just an auxiliary equipment for the computer, and in line with the principle of convenient operation, it was not a big deal to buy ten or twenty units back.

But soon, they realized that these Noah PCs were too useful. Especially in enterprises and research institutions, they have a lot of text work to deal with, and they also have to copy and print a lot of texts and so on. With this Noah PC, these tasks that originally needed to be processed by computers turned out to be completely unnecessary, and they no longer needed to wait in line or carry out complex programming operations to complete them.

"It's so convenient, with these Noah PCs, our work efficiency has improved a lot!"

"Not only that, because these Noah PCs take on a lot of menial work. It reduces the burden on the computer and allows us to make good use of our computing power. Now there is no need to wait in line, just submit jobs that require large-scale computer calculations, and it will be your turn soon. ”

"Also, the operation of Noah's PC is very user-friendly! That mouse is so handy, I only need one hand now. With just a few clicks, you can do what previously required desperate typing into a program. ”

"None of this is a big deal, the most attractive thing about Noah's PC is the games inside, oh my God! I feel like there are a lot of ducks and birds flying around in front of me! ”

"Hahaha!"

When it came to the game, everyone laughed! Yes, the employees of aRk not only put the games that Alex had written in the machine before, but they also made several games of their own and put them in together.

"I also want to buy a Noah to go home, and now I can't do without pnetbsp at all; Speaking of which, many people nodded yes, those who can afford it have already ordered from aRk, and those who don't have enough money are slowly saving money with this goal. They are all people who have come into contact with "Noah", and they are very interested in this new thing, especially the thought that they can buy back a PC with only "very little" money, and their hearts are so happy.

This "very little" amount of money is naturally compared to the million-dollar mainframe computer. In fact, the price of Noah's PC is not low, although it is less than 10,000 US dollars, such a price is naturally not affordable for ordinary people.

Originally, Alex wanted to keep the price of PCs under $1,000, but if the price of the PCs produced by aRk was to keep the price down, they would be far from the level of performance they were designed for. In this way, the shocking effect is completely lost.

Later, Alex thought about it, and now he wants to let PCs into thousands of households, which is unlikely. Only after starting with middle-class families and conquering these people can PCs become as widespread as cars.

Initially, cars were also expensive, and only a few people could afford them. Of course, in order to reflect the value of PCs, Alex has made aRk a lot of effort in systems, office software, and entertainment software.

There is always a transition period for new things, and in this blank time, Alex has no intention of rolling out "Noah" all over the place. Instead, it first conquered the original computer users, then the middle-class families, and finally the ordinary families.

"Judging from the degree of the PC machine exhibition, the manufacturing cost will go on soon, and the price will naturally be pressed below 1,000 yuan! As long as you wait patiently, maybe it won't be long before you can use a thousand-dollar PC. Alex said this to the top management of aRk, and at the same time, he intended to do so.

Moore, who was very interested in this, deliberately paid attention to the production cost of various parts of the PC, and sure enough, the manufacturing cost of these parts continued to decline regularly.

It didn't take long for him to conclude that "when the price remains the same, the number of transistors that can fit on an integrated circuit doubles about every 18 months, and the performance doubles." In other words, every dollar that can buy a computer more than doubles every 18 months. ”

This law reveals the degree of progress in information technology. At the same time, it also confirmed Alex's speculation from the side, which made Moore and others deeply admire.

At the same time, Noah's PC is a big seller, but it also makes more users realize that the computer degree is not a qiē, and it also needs the assistance of corresponding software functions. It's as if before the car came out, people thought that it was enough to have a horse-drawn carriage, and when the car was mature, it immediately formed a trend. Now the launch of Noah's PC, because its various software and hardware have jumped through the initial stage, directly to mature products, quickly let people accept and seek after.

IBm is horrified that the sales of its own dragon-slaying series computers have only sold very well in the first week, and then due to Seymour's collaborative computing and aRk's Noah PC, those users who have already intended to buy have also switched to netbsp; Not only that, the government has also placed a large order to buy Noah PC, because this kind of personal computer can definitely improve the efficiency of the government's office, save office equipment and save time, etc. Although the government has not yet abandoned IBm, in the opinion of Watson Jr. and others, the expression of this tendency is already very dangerous.

Alex only learned about these things indirectly, he didn't follow them personally, for him there was Seymour? Clay, Noyce, Moore and other later generations of computer gods are in charge, if they can still turn IBM around, then he can only consider himself unlucky.

If you use the so-called luck, Alex's side has gathered all the gods in the computer world, and the prosperity of luck is unparalleled, if someone tries to resist, they will eventually be crushed into ashes by these people.

Now that the computer problem has been basically solved, Alex has settled down a lot. As long as there are no major problems with the cpT company, he can guarantee that he and the Carpenter family will not lose a lot.

What's more, in the current movie, in the form of DreamWorks sweeping all directions and swallowing **, even if someone wants to do tricks, they can't make a profit, not to mention that the other party just helped up a dying MGM, and it can't reverse much of the situation.

Yes, before DreamWorks filmed Ben-Hur, other Hollywood studios in the United States were declining, and the quality of the films they produced was not good enough to attract audiences. They are reluctant to make blockbusters, and as a result, the film is very poor, the quality is not good, the audience also buys it, and the director zhì film company loses money, and is even more reluctant to spend a lot of money to make a movie when there is no money.

Thus an endless loop was formed, until William? Director Whitt, with the support of Alex, invested 15 million yuan not to shoot a fictional historical film "Ben-Hur" before pointing out the way for the future. Now many film companies have begun to learn from DreamWorks, and they have refined each film, invested enough money to shoot movies, and a lot of high-quality films have been produced.
