"Genius idea, very interesting and useful program!" Mark couldn't help but be amazed after looking at the evaluation scores, and then asked Zhang Hao to test the other two computers as well.

Zhang Hao immediately transplanted the program directly through the networking of the three computers, and then ran the program, and after a while, the test results of the other two computers also came out, looking at the three results, Mark couldn't help but admire.

I have to admit that Zhang Hao's program is really good, although this kind of program is not very useful for computer professionals like them, but it is very useful for ordinary computer users. Ordinary people can use this program to evaluate the performance of their computer and choose the most suitable computer to buy and use.

Unfortunately, although this program is good, it is actually not very useful for commercial use, and if it is sold, Mark thinks that computer companies will not be very interested in this program, on the contrary, they will not promote it.

After all, if there is such a program, then it is not a good thing for the computer company, so that when selling computers, there is no way to use commercial means to fool customers, and customers can use this kind of program to compare products, which is very disadvantageous to computer companies.

When Mark expressed his opinion, Zhang Hao also agreed, because he also took this into account after designing the program, so he didn't think about commercializing the program.

But even so, Mark also thinks that Zhang Hao's computer skills are not bad, as his cousin Jimmy said, Zhang Hao is a very good college student, no wonder he will deliberately bring Zhang Hao to his place this time.

"Can I leave this program to me?" Mark asked.

"Of course, if you need to." Zhang Hao replied with a smile.

"I can't afford to buy it, though, you know it's good, but it's not commercially useful." Mark made a point of explaining.

"I understand Mark, this program is my interest, and besides, it's a good thing if it can be promoted through you." Zhang Hao didn't care at all, and waved his hand.

“OK！” Mark nodded happily, and at the same time glanced at Jimmy beside him, it seems that his cousin's classmate and roommate are indeed a good talent, no wonder they will bring him over.

"Cousin, Mike's Chinese food is very good, let's make Chinese food today, you can try it too." Jimmy's lunch was a sandwich at the airport, and hours had passed since he got on the plane, and he was already hungry.

Seeing that Zhang Hao and Mark had the rhythm of continuing to chat, Jimmy couldn't help but interrupt them, and said while touching his stomach, this chat is not in a hurry for a while, isn't it good to solve the belly first?

Mark was stunned and immediately laughed, and at the same time wondered if what Jimmy said was true or false. However, Zhang Hao and Jimmy have been mixed for a long time, and they have long been immune to his operation, and said with a smile that if Mark does not refuse Chinese food, today's dinner will be made by him, and he specially brought some spices when he came, so I don't know if Mark's family has prepared something, if not, it is too late to go to the supermarket now.

Mark told Zhang Hao that because he was usually busy and because of his work, it was very simple to eat, and there was nothing to cook at home. In this case, Zhang Hao asked Mark where the nearby supermarket was, and Mark said that there was no need to ask, just go out to buy together, and the three of them went out like this, ran to the nearby supermarket to buy a lot of ingredients and came back.

After arriving home, Zhang Hao took care of the ingredients, and Jimmy consciously helped to start, as for Mark, he didn't know anything, so he naturally waited for the meal.

Zhang Hao didn't know Mark's taste, so he deliberately made a few Qingtang's specialty dishes, and then took care of Jimmy and made him braised pork and eggs.

When the dishes were laid out, Mark's eyes widened in surprise when he saw a table of dishes, at this time Jimmy was already hungry and was about to start, Mark quickly stopped him and told him to wait, and then hurriedly ran to the room to find a vertical camera to come out, and took several pictures of the food on the table, and then put down the camera with satisfaction.

After opening a bottle of red wine, Mark poured it for everyone, and offered to thank Zhang Hao for cooking such a sumptuous meal, and at the same time welcomed them to his home.

The three of them touched their glasses and happily ate their meal. Although the Mark family does not have fast children, only knives and forks, but this meal is still very enjoyable, the three of them chatted while eating, and the content of the chat is nothing more than starting from the small program that Zhang Hao did just now, and gradually chatting about their respective studies and lives.

Mark was slightly surprised when he learned that Zhang Hao was not only studying his current major, but was also an excellent model airplane enthusiast when he was in China, and he had even won good results in the world model airplane competition.

Mark also has a strong interest in model airplanes, but he is not as professional as Zhang Hao, so he can't help but ask some questions about model airplanes. Zhang Hao didn't hide it, he answered Mark's questions and carefully explained a lot of knowledge about model airplanes, which benefited Mark a lot.

"By the way, Mark, I heard Jimmy say that you work at NCSA now?"

"Yes, our university has a partnership with NCSA, and my supervisor recommended me to NCSA and am currently working there as a student." Mark replied with a sip of wine.

"So what exactly are you studying? Oh, and I'm sorry if it comes to making it inconvenient to say. Zhang Hao said.

Mark laughed: "There's nothing inconvenient, NCSA's current research is mainly on some applied and academic research, and I have done more work and application before." But last year, I started to get involved mainly in the World Wide Web, by the way, you know the World Wide Web? ”

Zhang Hao and Jimmy nodded, the World Wide Web as a professional person certainly knows that the World Wide Web appeared in 1990, the name is EB, abbreviated as, is based on the client/server method of information discovery technology and hypertext technology synthesis, data stored in the I computer, a huge number of documents collection.

When we talk about the World Wide Web, we have to talk about I, which is the Internet. Of course, the current World Wide Web is still rudimentary, with only text, no images, no sound, no color, and no Windows-like interface. And the whole network is free, Mark became interested in the World Wide Web last year and started researching the World Wide Web.

Mark thinks that although the current World Wide Web is rich in information resources, it is very complex to use, and the World Wide Web is too rudimentary to have no images, sounds, or even colors, and it would be more interesting and practical if these things could be added to the network.

With this in mind, Mark began to try to change the current state of the World Wide Web, but it was very difficult to do so. The point is that although the World Wide Web is open and free, to design and further improve on the original basis, Mark will not only invest a lot of manpower but also considerable material resources.

Even if Mark is working at NCSA now and can borrow some of NCSA's resources, this project is after all Mark's own and cannot be undertaken entirely by NCSA. So Mark applied for funding from the school, and the school gave Mark a part of the funding after consideration, which gave Mark the motivation to continue researching.

Hearing what Mark said, Zhang Hao suddenly became interested, and he asked Mark what the current research was about.

Mark didn't hide it from Zhang Hao, and directly told him that his research had reached that point, and opened his computer to bring up what he hadn't finished yet, and ran it to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao watched Mark explain to him while running, and at the same time compared the current World Wide Web and Mark's research results in his heart, I have to admit that Mark's ideas are very genius, and his ideas also have merit, although his research results are still very simple, can only show what he wants to express in a small part, some ideas have not been reached, and the next work still needs to be solved.

"Genius idea!" Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh, just now Mark said that his mini program was a genius idea, but now compared to what Mark is doing, Zhang Hao's small program is no different from a toy.

"You think so, too?" Mark asked.

Zhang Hao nodded seriously: "Of course!" Why not? I think it's an idea that can change the world! ”

For a while, Mark's senses for Zhang Hao were extremely good, although he studied and designed this aspect out of interest, but in Mark's opinion, he was doing a great job, at least that's what he thought in his heart.

It's a pity that there are too few people who can recognize him, and the funds that he applied for from the school have been used up, and Mark recently applied for funding again, but after seeing his things, the school rejected his request. Mark also thought of many other methods, such as finding investors through NCSA's connections and channels, but the results were not optimistic.

If there is no further funding, Mark is not confident that the project will continue. So when Zhang Hao expressed his feelings about this project, although Mark was very happy, he was a little frustrated.

Seeing Mark's expression, Zhang Hao couldn't help but ask him if there was anything wrong, Mark shook his head and sighed, telling Zhang Hao that the main problem was that the funds were gone, and he had not found a follow-up funder, and his research could not continue, so if the funding problem was not solved, the project might be stalled.

"Mark, if, I said if, how much more money is needed to get to the results you want?" Zhang Hao asked.

Marx asked: "It's hard to say, the university funded me 20,000 US dollars before, but according to the previous progress, it is only about a quarter of the way, if you want to achieve results, you will need at least 100,000 US dollars, or even more." ”

"$100,000......." Zhang Hao thought for a while, looked deeply at what was displayed on Mark's computer, and suddenly said, "Mark, can I join your project?" I can fund you if you want. ”
