When he came out of Zhou Shuo's office, Wu Hao's heart was hot, and he seemed to see a golden strip of China's software industry taking off rapidly in front of his eyes. He really didn't expect that it was just an ordinary investigation, and he would inadvertently dig up a gold mine!

No, where is the output value of a gold mine as high as that of a software park? It's not gold, it's dollars! If the software park plan can be implemented in the end, he can't imagine how much political capital he will get.

Not to mention that Wu Hao rushed back to the imperial capital non-stop, Zhou Shuo also seized the time to guide the development of network communication software.

In December 1994, Netscape 1.0 was released, and Netscape laid the foundation stone for its $7 billion market capitalization. And before their self-aggrandizing preparation for the development of an operating system touches Microsoft's ass, "Six Ears IM" must achieve enough results for Microsoft to face up.

The twelve researchers of the former sixty-four software rooms, the current employees of Liuer Software and their manager Shao Shiming, worked almost day and night.

In the computer room of a high-tech expansion, when they are sleepy, they put two or three chairs together and fall asleep, and when they are hungry, they soak a bag of instant noodles and eat with relish. This 1994 instant noodle is a good thing, and the yellow bag of Sanxian Yi noodles will never get tired of eating.

Zhou Shuo often comes to the computer room, and he will be surrounded by these people immediately, you have a problem and I have a problem, and you can't leave the computer room for an hour or two. Although Zhou Shuo no longer needs to program by himself, the development documents are still written by him after all, the architecture is still designed by him, and the basic algorithms and principles of the software are also born from his communication module.

Of course, he can't say too much about the specific content of the work, after all, IM software is not his research direction, and it is already within his ability to point out the general direction. More often than not, he cheered everyone up, promised things like completion bonuses, housing incentives, or food and beverage conditions.

After all, people in this era are used to living a hard life since childhood, for them, compared with the former colleagues who are waiting for work outside, what is happier in the world than having a job to do?

However, the development of the six-ear IM is mainly based on Shao Shiming after all, and Zhou Shuo only goes once or twice occasionally. But he had to take the lead in the research of cable modems.

Compared with the six-eared IM, the cable modem is expected by him to be higher.

The main competitor of Huaxing Group, where Zhou Shuo worked in his previous life, was Cisco of the United States. His main research interests are also focused on digital data communication. But it is not so easy to break into the US market, Cisco has developed almost with the birth of the Internet, especially in the United States.

If you want to extract teeth in their account, you must not be a tough enemy, and using your strength to fight has become Zhou Shuo's best choice.

And the object of this borrowing is the media group in the United States. The trend of telephone, cable television, Internet, and triple play is obvious, and the strong rise of the Internet has had a huge impact on traditional cable TV network operators. He believes that if these media giants were given a choice in advance, they would definitely choose to use the TV network to integrate the three networks, rather than be integrated by the Internet.

The cable modem is not only such a generous gift to the media giants, but also a short sword inserted into Cisco from behind!

In the era when the telephone network was generally only 56Kbps, a tiger with a minimum speed of 2Mbps was suddenly killed, and Zhou Shuo wanted to see what kind of face many network equipment manufacturers would have at that time.

"From today onwards, President Zhou will be in charge of the overall work of our network lab." Huang Shi stood on the stage and said loudly.

As Huang Shi's voice fell, hundreds of researchers in the audience turned their heads and ears. The Network Lab is the largest of the 64 laboratories and is not only engaged in the study of digital network technology, but also optoelectronic and wireless network technology.

"Comrades, be quiet, if there is any topic that will be dissolved in a while, we will discuss it. This development work has been approved by the higher authorities, and everyone must unite as one, and carry forward the ...... without fear of hardship."

Zhou Shuo saw that the voice below was getting louder and louder, and seeing that Huangshi seemed to have a tendency to be unable to suppress, he hurriedly grabbed the microphone and said, "Hello everyone, I am Zhou Shuo, and I will be in charge of the work of the network laboratory from today. First of all, I would like to announce an additional 30% increase in the salaries of researchers in all web labs! ”

After he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence below. Zhou Shuo laughed at himself in his heart, now that we are poor, there is only money left, and whoever is not satisfied with the direct banknotes will be invincible.

"I will be mainly responsible for the research work of the laboratory, and all daily affairs will be as usual, please rest assured."

At this time, someone remembered that it was not just the principal of a vocational high school standing on the stage, and Zhou Shuo's earning power was simply a mythical existence in the sixty-four schools. Those dozens of people in the software room can create a value of four or five hundred thousand dollars per month! One month's output value is enough for sixty-four institutes to maintain a year's operating expenses.

What is the need to resist a leader who is only good for everyone and has no harm? What's more, it is impossible for him to stay in the network lab all the time, and the entrustment relationship will naturally be terminated after the project is successful.

Thinking of this, anyone has dispelled the idea of fighting for power and profit in their hearts.

"This is Fu Xiaochen, the director of the network laboratory, this is Li Chi, the deputy director, and Zhao Ruilao, the person in charge of the optoelectronic project......" Huang Shi introduced the relevant persons in charge of the network laboratory to Zhou Shuo one by one, and Zhou Shuo followed behind him and shook hands with them cordially.

After walking around, Zhou Shuo couldn't help but sigh at the huge network laboratory, there were more than ten heads and brains alone, and he couldn't even remember all the names, so he could only barely remember a few people in charge of projects related to cable modem technology.

After the welcome ceremony, Huangshi left on his own. Zhou Shuo and his party walked into the building of the network laboratory.

After everyone returned to their posts, Zhou Shuo said to Fu Xiaochen: "Director Fu, can you introduce to me the current research situation of digital communication in our sixty-four institutes?" ”

"Hmm." Fu Xiaochen seemed to be a little silent, nodded, and walked forward.

Zhou Shuo hurriedly followed behind him, and finally chased after him. But I saw him limp and enter a laboratory.

"This is the laboratory of the communications engineering project team, and we are testing the analog modulation system. It is mainly based on tracking foreign technology, and has achieved a modem with a transmission speed of 14.4Kbps. Speaking of this, Fu Xiaochen pointed to a machine with a little pride and said, "This is because we used echo cancellation technology to solve the problem of native echo of the signal." ”

"Oh, you've been able to implement an algorithm for echo cancellation?" Zhou Shuo is really a little curious, echo cancellation technology is a roadblock in the development of narrowband modems, this technology can determine whether the received signal is from the echo of the machine or from other modems during high-speed transmission, so as to eliminate the signal echo problem that is easy to cause while increasing the network speed.

Before the invention of this technology, it took the Americans 14 years to increase the transmission speed of the modem from the original 14.4Kpbs to 28.9Kbps, and after the invention of this technology, the speed was increased to 56Kbps in just two years.

Fu Xiaochen smiled a little embarrassedly: "It was realized by Yu Qiong from the software room." ”

Zhou Shuo smiled slightly and didn't say anything. But I regretted that Yu Qiong was released to the United States, and I knew that she had such a good technique, so she should have been allowed to stay in the laboratory.

Zhou Shuo walked around the laboratory, frowned, and said, "If you want to develop cable modem technology, it seems that there is no digital storage oscilloscope in the laboratory?" ”

Fu Xiaochen hesitated: "You can use an ordinary analog oscilloscope instead, just do it a few more times." ”

Zhou Shuo shook his head and said, "This won't work, it will affect the development progress!" ”

"Which-" Fu Xiaochen said in embarrassment: "Let the comrades work overtime a few more times, but the overtime pay Principal Zhou can't be saved." ”

Zhou Shuo sighed: "Overtime is definitely required, but the equipment can't be saved." We are very short of time, and my plan is to come up with a test model within three months, and it must be put into production within half a year. Director Fu made a list of equipment for me, don't save me money, just buy it immediately! ”

Fu Xiaochen really recognized the essence of Zhou Shuo's big dog, and said with a smile: "Then you have to add high-frequency signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and function signal generators, some of which have been used in the laboratory for more than ten years, can you also replace them?" ”

"Change!" Zhou Shuo waved his hand and said: "I'd rather wait for the machine and others, we must not delay the development progress because of the equipment!" ”

Returning from the sixty-fourth institute, Zhou Shuo called Liu Guifang over.

"Huh? Sister Liu, what are you doing, you have found the money? Zhou Shuo couldn't help but ask when he saw Liu Guifang with a spring breeze on his face.

"Hehe, I'm even happier today than I have found the money!" Liu Guifang sat at Zhou Shuo's desk, the fire of gossip was burning, and said mysteriously: "Principal, guess what I saw?" ”

Zhou Shuo smiled helplessly: "Where can I guess this, I'm not a fortune teller." ”

Liu Guifang said reluctantly: "I went to the Education Bureau today to get the proposition test paper of the final unified examination, can you guess again?" ”

"Huh?" Zhou Shuo faintly guessed a possibility and asked, "Is there anyone who is unlucky?" ”

"Hah!" Liu Guifang clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Who else can it be, Director Wang and Section Chief Li are two difficult brothers." ”

"Huh." Zhou Shuo shook his head silently, watching the performance of the two of them that day, he had a hunch, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"It's so relieving, these two people embezzled the public funds of the Education Bureau to speculate in stocks, but they didn't expect to lose a lot. At the end of the year, the audit finally couldn't be hidden, and today I was taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection in front of all the employees of the Education Bureau......"

Zhou Shuo didn't listen to Liu Guifang say anything again, but sighed in his heart, he had come so far before he knew it......
