Chapter 242: Old Computer (1)

Perhaps, in the depths of that mountain, there are still many poor children who can only live in a dazed and difficult way, unable to contact this colorful world.

The city may be another world for them, and the depths of the mountains are not another world for these people living in the city.

Thinking of this, Liu Mengling and the others thought that they understood the intention of the items that Wei Minsheng had purchased before, and he was doing his best to use his ability to help those people living in the depths of the mountains.

At this moment, Wei Minsheng's figure has been infinitely high in the hearts of Liu Mengling and the others, and all of Wei Minsheng's previous practices seem to have found a reasonable explanation.

In the mountains far away from the city, what is lacking is not advanced technology, but the most basic education, if there are not many literate people, the higher the technology content of those things for them, the more furnishings for them.

Wei Minsheng didn't know the misunderstanding in the hearts of Liu Mengling and others, leaned back in his chair and continued: "Due to the intentional guidance of public opinion and the profit-seeking nature of those businesses, many computers that were originally just a little problem were fooled by them with the seemingly useful standard of cost performance, and it is better to upgrade the maintenance.

Who doesn't want to buy something better for the same price, and who doesn't want to spend the least amount of money with the same performance.

But they forget that for the performance of the computer, the computing speed is also measured in milliseconds, especially in this industry that has developed to the bottleneck of demand, for ordinary people, the quality of performance does not affect the use at all.

Spending more money on a computer that sits idle most of the time is actually a serious waste.

Those obsolete computers eventually become e-waste, and if you look at the news, China produces 2.3 million tons of e-waste every year, accounting for the second largest amount of e-waste in the world.

At present, there is no normal channel for e-waste recycling in China, and small traders and hawkers have actually become the main force in recycling these e-waste.

A large part of this e-waste is dismantled, and the components that still have some room for profit are refurbished and re-introduced to the market.

Most of the parts that have no utilization value or are not worth spending too much energy to dispose of are directly thrown away and then landfilled or incinerated, resulting in a large number of heavy metal toxic substances polluting the air, soil and groundwater.

The cause of the smog that shrouded the four corners during this period could never have been the smoke from stir-frying vegetables and the straw burned by farmers.

What you may not know is that more than 10 years ago, a foreign company rented a large plot of land and did not develop it, just to let the forces of nature fix the pollution and produce organic food.

It's a pity that they failed, because in the end they found out that this pollution comes from the air, from the groundwater, and as long as those pervasive and ubiquitous sources of pollution still exist, where can they find a pure land in this world.

The problem of environmental pollution is complex, and it is not something that can be solved by one person or one group, but I want to do my part. ”

Liu Mengling said: "Mr. Wei, since you have this plan, then count me as one, how to do it, we will listen to your arrangement." ”

Li Wei said: "The quality of the environment is related to everyone, and I am also counted as a part. ”

Chen Xiaohua also said: "Count me in." ”

Wei Minsheng was also very happy to see everyone's active participation, and said: "Maybe our strength is very weak and our influence is very small, but I think as long as we do it with our hearts, within the scope of our ability, we can reduce the source of pollution first."

I can't solve the pollution problem completely, but I think I can pat my chest and say that I've done my best when I'm old.

Are the computers mentioned in the news really useless? No, it's just that everyone doesn't look down on it, thinks second-hand things are not good, or they think they are of low grade and lose face.

But the children in the mountains can see them and will not dislike them.

I was learning about it in my 286 and 386 years through CAI software running in the DOS environment, why can't these old computers with hundreds of times more performance than those machines exert their residual heat?

So, in order to keep my current work running, I would like to buy some old computers and use them as learning tools for those children. ”

Li Wei thought for a moment and said: "The power consumption of those old computers is much greater than that of new computers, can the mountains provide stable power supply?" ”

"It's a place that is not covered by the national grid, so I bought some gas generators, wind turbines, solar panels, UPS uninterruptible power supplies and other equipment, in addition to lighting processing, I still have the ability to set up a small area of electric classrooms.

After all, the difference in power consumption between the old and new computers is not a problem at all for a place where there is no power grid and cannot coordinate the consumption of electricity, resulting in a large amount of power loss. ”

Liu Mengling said: "But those old computers have been shelved for too long, and there are indeed many uncertain problems, and I am afraid that the computers we have worked so hard to send over will affect the use because of these uncertain problems, and when the time comes, good things will not be done, but they will attract scolding." ”
