"Uh, that's right." Zhou Shuo was stunned by Professor Zhao's question.

"Isn't that software for Americans? Can they use our Chinese software? Professor Zhao looked at Zhou Shuo incredulously.

Hey, the Chinese in this era do not lack wisdom and perseverance, but they lack some confidence.

Zhou Shuo had no choice but to take out the statement signed by James and said: "This is a statement signed by Mr. James, the manager of Microsoft's China office, and my software has indeed been booked by Microsoft." ”

Professor Zhao snatched the statement over, scanned it, and said excitedly: "Take out your software, I want to see what kind of software can be sold to Microsoft." ”

Zhou Shuo took out his notebook from his bag and asked for a network cable to connect to the computer. Then I turned on the machine and ran the software.

"It's an enterprise management software, but it's still partially unfinished. The main reason I came to Beijing this time was to test the effect of Internet access. ”

Professor Zhao and a group of researchers gathered around Zhou Shuo, their heads gathered together and squeezed into a flower. Seeing him operating the computer, he began to chatter.

Professor Zhao nodded while looking at it and said, "No wonder you are so familiar with Catalyst1200, this software also uses the server/client data exchange mode, right?" You can figure out the program without equipment, and the lad has a future! ”

Zhou Shuo entered the account number and password on the dial-up interface, and soon there was a sharp and piercing "quack, quack, squeak-crunch!" in the computer room. Voice. Hearing this voice, he couldn't help but start to feel nostalgic. This kind of ugly sound like a donkey barking is the first sound made by a modem dialing up the Internet, which is extreme, very, very ugly. When he heard this voice for the first time, Zhou Shuo couldn't stand it.

But in the end, it turns out that humans are really still a reflex animal. After a few years, I heard this sound again, and it was so beautiful that there was nothing more beautiful in the world than this. Why? Because as soon as this voice passed, there was a colorful and vast network of world realms waiting for him to explore. Being able to associate with such beautiful things, any bad noise, can outweigh Xianle.

Zhou Shuo said while operating the computer: "Professor Zhao, I may continue to test for a few days, during this time I will pay, accommodation fees, equipment usage fees and Internet access fees, how much do you think I need to pay?" ”

Professor Zhao's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Hey, what do you pay?" Young man, I'll mobilize the researchers in the institute to accompany you to test, as long as you leave this network communication program behind? ”

Zhou Shuo said without thinking: "It's okay for the program to stay, but the money still has to be paid." Now we don't have cheap Internet access, right? I can't take advantage of the country! ”

Professor Zhao patted him on the shoulder, and his beard flew up with a smile: "Young man, your consciousness is good!" ”

173 Institute is the first research institute in China to access the Internet, and the level of equipment is about the same as that of the United States. Zhou Shuo was supported by Professor Zhao, and almost all of his food, drink and accommodation were soaked in the computer room. The researchers in the institute were also very interested when they heard that someone could sell software to the United States, and under the mobilization of Professor Zhao, they were willing to come over to help when there was no research work.

After living for a week, Zhou Shuo, who stayed up late almost every day, had red eyes like rabbits, a long beard that could be combed into a braid, and his hair was messy like a bird's nest, and he finally completed the testing and adjustment of the network communication program. Don't look at it as just a seemingly simple network communication function, but at this time there is no ready-made communication program module to call. From the lowest-level protocol to the achievable application, everything has to be built from scratch, involving tens of thousands of lines of program, hundreds of thousands of letters, and all possible situations must be constantly tested and found in the sea of source code......

Just think about Netscape Browser, which is nothing more than a network communication software that can read pictures and text. For a browser, the ability to communicate over the web is both the most important and the least obtrusive.

There must always be such a generation of programmers starting from the bottom, overcoming obstacles and working hard, and finally on these accumulations, Tencent, Baidu, Taobao, Xunlei and other excellent fruits have grown.

"Shhhh

Professor Zhao instructed the people to move Zhou Shuo, who was sleeping heavily, away from the front of the computer, and called up a monitoring program to start checking the network communication program. A group of people crept behind him, watching his operation.

"The processing speed is so fast! See how much memory is used? ”

"Only 40K? Here's how to do it! ”

"Shhh

"It's no wonder that the server-side program can take up so few resources, and the server only needs to store the logical topology of the network. That's a good idea, as peer-to-peer networking can reduce the communication burden on servers, and allow for peer-to-peer real-time communication and resource sharing. ”

The researchers discussed for a long time, and the more they looked at it, the more they felt that the usefulness of this program was really too great. It's very scalable and portable, and Professor Zhao even has a few good ideas for using it.

Zhou Shuo slept in the dark, and when he woke up again, it was already a day later. The heat of August gradually subsided, and seeing that the start of school in September was imminent, Zhou Shuo hurriedly said goodbye.

"Huh? Is this leaving? Two more days, just two days, won't it? ”

Professor Zhao pulled Zhou Shuo's clothes and refused to let him go, and even resorted to the means of sprinkling and beating him.

Zhou Shuo cried with a sad face, and said helplessly: "My school in Xiucheng is about to open, and I, the principal, can't I not go back?" ”

"But we haven't fully understood your program yet!" Professor Zhao said bitterly: "There are annotations in some places, and we still can't understand without your solution ideas, which is really embarrassing!" ”

This is not surprising at all, the implementation methods or algorithms in many places, Zhou Shuo uses mature techniques in later generations. Their programming ideas haven't even appeared yet, and those who can read and understand them are ghosts.

Zhou Shuo spread his hands and said: "Otherwise, let Shao Shiming go back to Xiucheng with me, and when he and I figure out this procedure, I will come back and teach the rest of you the same!" ”

Professor Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, Shao Shiming's software room has not been in business for a long time, and he is usually idle except for reading foreign journals. There is not much more than him in the office, and there is a lot less than him, even if he is on a business trip, it will have no effect on the 173 Institute.

He nodded and said happily: "No problem, I'll let him go back with you, when he will learn it, when will he come back!" ”

Zhou Shuo snickered in his heart, Shao Shiming's family was born as a small cadre, and he attached great importance to the national establishment, otherwise he would not have let go of a lot of good jobs in the society, but he would have come to work in a research institute where he couldn't even eat.

It's great to keep his establishment and pry people away. When the time comes, when he learns the program well, I don't believe it, and he will go back to 173 to live an 8-to-5, tea and newspaper life!

Professor Zhao called Shao Shiming over and told Zhou Shuo what he thought, and sure enough, he got his full support. In the early 90s, there was neither an atmosphere for research nor the ability to do so. He was only twenty-four years old, and he didn't want to slowly rot and wither here. With such a chance to get out of the wolf's mouth, he immediately agreed, and was more active than Zhou Shuo to prepare to go.

Under the farewell of Professor Zhao, the two stepped on the train and returned to Xiucheng. At this time, it was already about to start school, and Zhou Shuo just got off the train and threw himself into the intense preparations for the start of school.

Shao Shiming was taken by him to the school's computer room, and suddenly there was a sound of inhalation.

"Zhou'er, you're making a big deal! So many Pentium computers, I'm afraid not two or three hundred thousand? ”

Zhou Shuo said with a smile: "Less than 200,000, helped Dell solve some small problems." ”

Shao Shiming looked at each other and gave a thumbs up and said, "Yo, Microsoft, Dell, your level of contact is high enough!" ”

Zhou Shuo gave him a punch in the chest, and said embarrassedly: "Okay, be poor, you!" I have to be busy with the start of school these days, and Mr. Liang, the original administrator of the computer room, is also busy. ”

Shao Shiming's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Don't let me manage so many computers, I am willing to let me live here!" ”

After settling down Shao Shiming, Zhou Shuo found Liu Guifang again, opened the door and asked, "Sister Liu, do you know a garment factory with good credit here?" ”

Liu Guifang, who was very busy, looked up and was stunned, and asked, "The principal wants to change the school uniform?" It's not good......"

Zhou Shuo found a chair by himself, sat opposite her, and sighed: "The style of our school's school uniform is too ugly, not to mention that the head of the logistics department Bai has also responded more than once that the quality is not good, and the students don't like to wear it very much, I think it's better to replace it." ”

"However, now this garment factory was introduced by the leaders of the Education Bureau, and there is still a lot of inventory, will it be a little inappropriate to replace it?"

Zhou Shuo waved his hand, frowned and said, "Change, replace them all!" If no one talks to the Education Bureau, forget it, if anyone mentions it, let them come to me! Not only is it replaced, but the current second- and third-year students don't have to pay anymore, just give one for free. The inventory of old school uniforms can be sold if it can be sold, and if it can't be sold, it will be donated. School uniforms are the face of the school, and students can only develop if they wear a good school! ”

"Okay, I'll find a few more garment factories and let them come up with a design as soon as possible."

Zhou Shuo nodded, stood up and said, "You discuss with Section Chief Bai, and strive to get things done as soon as possible in the two days before the start of school." The supply is agreed, and the school uniforms can be counted after the school starts. ”

However, before Liu Guifang could find a new supplier, someone came to the door.
