"Red Alert" was released simultaneously in Europe and the United States.

Catherine's $70 million scenario was the worst-case scenario, but the market reacted clearly better than expected.

Because of the advent of television, many people now like to sit at home and watch TV, and there are fewer and fewer people who go out to watch movies.

But Catherine's "Red Alert", with television alone, is difficult to express the magical effect of Xiàn.

There are very few movies with extreme special effects like Catherine in the current blockbuster series, so people have a different feeling about movie effects and some other things.

Catherine's "Red Alert" tells people what real special effects are. This dazzling effect is an absolute treat.

Even for that amazing effect, many people are still willing to pay for Catherine's Red Alert.

It's February, and the attendance rate of "Red Alert" is still high, with a total of $70 million, and the release continues.

Movies shown in the continental United States. The box office share is more inclined to the producer. More than 80% of the box office in the first week of release went to the producer. Then the share is reduced every week. In the end, the producer takes 30%, and the rest is the distributor and the theater chain.

Although I didn't get as much money as before, the film will probably be released for a while.

In particular, "Red Alert" also has a gimmick with a Cold War background, which casts a layer of mystery on the film.

Although the total income is very high, Catherine's cost is also very high, even if it can be divided into 100 million US dollars in the end, Catherine may only earn tens of millions, although it is doubled, but compared to the electronics industry, the film earns too little.

Catherine has always felt that without a stable income guarantee, it is difficult for film to become her pillar industry.

Her main goal is still in the electronics industry.

Especially after getting the attention of the Pentagon.

During this time, Catherine has been busy operating the system.

The kernel of the Phoenix operating system is completely designed by Catherine herself, although it is similar to the future DOS, but Catherine is very serious.

In the future, Microsoft will develop patches for various vulnerabilities in the operating system, although it is its strategy, it can release patches without listening to them, increasing the user stickiness of genuine users.

But that's a winner-take-all after Microsoft's almost monopoly.

But now, Catherine needed a perfect product, to make a name for herself, and that was the way to go.

If your product is not rigorous, then the latecomer has the intention to develop an operating system, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach, then it will be a tragedy.

Rigorous, you have to be rigorous, that's it.

For a whole month, Catherine led the research team to write the Phoenix core, and at the same time debug, trying to find all the vulnerabilities in the system.

Although Catherine used to be a programmer and knew a lot about computers, she had never really tried programming systems. Although this is also a subject, it is really difficult to put it into practice.

However, compared to the programmers in this world who have no concept of operating systems, Catherine's technology is already amazing.

Just a month later, Catherine had to take a break from her work.

Because at this time, the Pentagon created an office of engineering quality supervision and management, which was specifically responsible for contacts with the ARK company.

-- That's right, the name of this office is "Engineering Quality Supervision and Management Office."

In fact, the Pentagon did give the office such a name. In fact, the most important thing is to hide people's eyes and ears, not to be unconventional.

To be honest, Catherine would have liked to have a name like "Amalgam", but it was clear that the Pentagon was not so painful.

The Pentagon allocated the first appropriation, and a total of $80 million was given to the company.

Of this amount, $20 million was spent on the development of a military version of the Z80. The specifics are not yet clear, but according to Sanders' understanding, it may be related to the missile's guidance system. After all, although there are now various guidance systems such as television guidance, the US military's missile hit rate is only a few tenths of a percent. Compared with the 8% of the Gulf War and more accurate strikes in the future, such a hit rate is pitiful.

The other $60 million is the first stage of the development of the individual terminal, which should be the development of the vehicle version to be precise. ,

After all, if you directly develop a single soldier system, the current technology cannot do it, but if you develop an on-board system, it is completely feasible.

The vehicle-mounted conditions are much more relaxed in terms of volume and power supply, and the targets that need to be marked are generally relatively large, and the accuracy requirements are not very strict, as long as the approximate location can be determined.

However, it seems that the Pentagon still hopes to use a single version.

For example, in street battles or in buildings, there is no way for satellites to monitor and radar is likely to be limited, but it is very useful to scan the terrain by a single soldier.

Now it is the Cold War, but there are a number of generals in the Pentagon who have come from World War II and have a strong sense of war.

In fact, they are the ones who are driving the whole plan.

Phoenix's operating system kernel is more than halfway written.

At this time, Catherine split the entire software department in half again.

One is responsible for the development of the operating system for civilian versions, while the other, the development of military equipment begins......

Of course, things like instant mapping can't be done yet. And other equipment is needed in this regard. In this regard, the Pentagon was handed over to another company - Lockheed Martin. Loma Company, the future head of the US military industry, the famous "Skunk Works", is the core of the other party, but Catherine does not know whether Skunk Works has appeared now.

Catherine in the traditional industry is still less involved, she is still concentrating on optimizing her own industry.

Because of the Pentagon's appropriation, Catherine instantly became much richer.

Although these funds can only be used for specific development, this aspect is exactly what Catherine desperately needs.

Z80 and operating system are developed simultaneously.

A civilian version of the Z80 was soon able to be developed, and as for the military version, Catherine called it the Z81.

The Z81 will be more stable and durable than the Z80. Military may not need to be sharp, but stability and durability are necessary. For example, the CPU used in satellites later requires high temperature and low temperature resistance, but the frequency requirements are not high.

The year 1965 was destined for Catherine to be a take-off point for her career.
