Chapter 1: The Eighties
Fix the casing and tighten the screws, this is an old-fashioned 9-hole dot printer, Yao Fei is very skillful in repairing it.
"Boss, this old gentleman can work."
"Great, thank you so much, Master Yao, you don't know what to say, the conscience of those Yankees has let the ink be drowned, calling them to repair them, they dislike my machine is too old, not to mention, and I don't bring back one for $300, it's too bullying!"
"Well, notify me if there is any problem in the future, but this 69-year-old printer is really too old, it has been 11 years, even if it is repaired this time, I don't know how long it will last."
"There's no way around it, use it first, who called the printer so expensive these days, even a new second-hand can make me bankrupt, this is your maintenance fee, I'll drink a glass of water here and go, I've been busy for hours."
"Next time, next time when you're not busy, you will definitely stay more, and there will be something to do later, see you later!"
"In that case, then Master Yao, you go slowly, I have business to be busy here, so I won't send it......"
Stepping out of this store, the weather in New York in October is still very comfortable, a single shirt and a small cotton vest can keep warm from the cold, it has been three months and eight days since he came to this world, he still vaguely remembers the scene of the excitement when he led his technical team to break through the technical barriers that plagued the entire industry, and then it was dark in front of him.
When I opened my eyes again, my name was still the same name, and I was also the same with black hair, yellow skin, and black eyes, and the time was no longer that time, and the person was not the same person as before.
clenched his fists fiercely, and secretly said in his heart Since he has come to this era in the dark, he must live his own style, and if he does not seek to control the lifeblood of the entire world, he will have to turn it upside down.
In 1980, this is a big era, about to usher in the era of information explosion, this is the best entrepreneurial era, as long as you have the skills and can transform it into actual products, then congratulations, from the short and poor to the rich and handsome function transformation only needs to be achieved overnight.
Although IBM has become the blue giant at this time, the personal computer is still in its infancy, Gates and his friends are still selling their basic interpreters, and the Leonard Bossak couple is still carrying out the great and noble cause of mankind---- teaching and educating people, and Joe's Apple
3. It will also give it a headache for a long time.
You must hurry up the time, only one step first, and then you can take the first step, miss this time period, and if you recalculate the plan, you don't know when the road will be delayed, and the follow-up results can not be predicted.
Back in the rented room, a bed, a workbench and some scattered electronic parts, there is nothing else, on the table is a scrapped printer that Yao Fei bought from a Chinese company for 200 US dollars, the motherboard has naturally fallen off several electrodes have been replaced by a new electrode, the circuit on the motherboard is also slightly old, and the most important needle has also died because of the previous use many times.
None of this matters to Yao Fei, though, because instead of restoring it, he's renovating it, and the target is the inkjet printer that has just appeared on the market, and Yao Fei believes that someone must need it now and is willing to pay a tempting enough price for it.
Took out a box of needle nozzles from his portable toolbox, don't look at these seven nozzles are very inconspicuous in your hands, but Yao Fei paid $2,000 in order to get these cute little guys!
No way, this thing only has the ability to get it, no one in Chinatown can do it, because this not only requires the nozzle to use high-hardness steel as a structure, but also to coat a layer of Teflon inner membrane, because this material has a good non-stick, heat resistance, sliding ability, moisture resistance and wear resistance, which can effectively reduce the adhesion, overheating, rust and easy folding of this nozzle in the work, so it is also the best product to act as an inkjet printer printhead at this stage.
Remove the original needle and replace it with this special flon needle, and then take out a customized print head holder that can place the printhead from the corner of the house, and the original 8008 chip has also been recompiled by Yao Fei with an ascall code for more than a month.
Everything is ready, turn on the power, turn on the self-test, suddenly the printer on the workbench emits a series of "chirping" sounds, and then returns to calm, it seems that it can start normally, only need to connect the computer test function later.
Walking out of the rental house, I turned the street and came to an electronics store, where an electronic calculator encroached on the best place for the container, followed by some small household appliances and their accessories and other repair parts.
"Brother Xu, ask you to borrow the computer, do you think it's convenient now?"
Walking to the store, Yao Fei said to the shopkeeper Xu Qiang.
"Xiaofei is here, no problem, but you have to be careful when you move, this thing is now the most precious thing in my store, although you will repair this thing, but bumping into it will also affect the appearance."
According to Xu Qiang, this computer was taken over by him from a company, and at that time, it was only three nails of a sunken ship, and the idea of tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall only cost 150 US dollars, but apparently people didn't let him take advantage of it, and this thing was really bad and successful.
Then he was kept by Xu Qiang in a corner of the store, until Yao Fei saw it when he came to buy electrodes one day, and couldn't help but ask out loud when he realized that this was a computer, and then he discussed with Xu Qiang that he could fix it, but after repairing it, Xu Qiang would agree to lend it to him.
At that time, Boss Xu was happy, his mouth was about to laugh crookedly, if he didn't take advantage of it, he was a bastard, anyway, this computer was collected by him, since he said that it could be repaired, it couldn't be better, anyway, he only needs to lend it to others occasionally after repairing it, and the thing is still his.
It's up to you to see the level of this kid, if this guy really has this level, he will have an extra way to make money, not to mention that Yao Fei is so confident.
With nervousness and excitement, Yao Fei unscrewed the fixing screws one by one, and then tried to open the case, it doesn't matter if he doesn't open it, as soon as he opened the case, Yao Fei was stupid, he had never seen such a simple and complex computer.
A complete computer is composed of a power supply, motherboard, CPU, memory, hard disk, sound card, graphics card, network card, optical drive, mouse keyboard and monitor.
But looking at the complex and staggered circuits in the chassis in front of him, only the motherboard can correspond to the motherboard of the later generations, and the others are completely at a loss, Yao Fei, who looked directly, could put on a "Chuan" brow at that time, and even the boss comforted that this thing was too advanced, and there was no shame in why they couldn't play.
But what kind of person is Yao Fei, how could he give up this rare opportunity to learn the crystallization of human wisdom in this era, so he immediately discussed with Xu Qiang again and then moved it to his rental house with great effort, saying that he would study it carefully and strive to repair it.
In the next intermittent month and a half, after replacing a small part of the electrodes, lines, and even the display screen, he finally entered the operating system similar to the DOS dialog box, which made Yao Fei excited, it was too fulfilling, and it was not easy to know that this kind of overhaul was not easy, and almost by studying this machine, Yao Fei completed the accumulation process of computer knowledge in this era from scratch.
It took a lot of effort to move the computer to the rental house, then connect to the printer, edit a file that needs to be printed at will, and then select print, Yao Fei's hand was trembling before pressing the enter key, and the efforts of more than a month have depended on this.
The sound of "chirping" is constantly coming out, the sound is not harsh, not very loud like the noise of the dot matrix printer, standing close to give people a tingling sensation in the eardrum, and it will cause temporary tinnitus for a long time.
His eyes stared at the paper mouth, and his nervous mood at this time can be imagined, just like buying a two-color ball before the first six balls were hit, only waiting for the last blue ball to open, and his heart was raised to his throat, which was dozens or hundreds of times the gap before and after, and he really deserved the ups and downs of life.
When all the sounds came back and time seemed to stand still, Yao Fei stretched out his trembling hand to take the printing paper, flipped the paper with anticipation, and when he really saw that the content on the printing paper was exactly the same as what he had entered, although the residual ink was very heavy, affecting the reading comfort, but this was not a problem at present, and the most important thing was that he knew that he had finally succeeded and had taken an important step towards success.
Again he laboriously returned the computer to Xu Qiang's store and borrowed a large cardboard box from him, telling him that he was about to leave New York for a while.
In the evening, Yao Fei treated himself to a sumptuous dinner, and then rested early, because tomorrow, his world would be completely different......
