Chapter 158 Witnesses who changed history
Early the next morning, Su Cheng got up early.
He is very curious, what does this semi-finished computer look like, and is it of any use to him currently?
The car drives directly from the villa to Oracle Computer Company in North Point Industrial Area.
After the driver parked the car in the parking lot in front of the building, Su Cheng went directly to the laboratory.
The current person in charge of Oracle Computer Company is Mr. Lee Kirk Wayne, the former IBM technical director. He now serves as the company's general manager and also serves as technical director.
"Good morning, boss. I heard Mr. Yang say last night that you were coming to our company today. I didn't expect you to come so early. We have just started work." Wayne was a little surprised to see Su Cheng. Now It's only around 8 o'clock in the morning.
"I heard Mr. Yang say that you have made great progress here, and I couldn't wait to take a look. Your results won't disappoint me, right?" Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Boss, please come with me. I will take you there now to take a look. Although it is only a semi-finished product, it is already a very good work for this world." Leacock Wayne Talk as you walk.
In the laboratory, many technical staff are busy. Compared with the last time Su Cheng came here, there are obviously more employees now.
Computer system research expert Mr. Qiu Shaolin, microcomputer development expert Mr. Raleigh Lunnon, chip expert Mr. Rao Juncai, memory chip expert Mr. Thomson Ellow, etc., are all surrounding a computer at this time. What is being discussed.
Seeing Su Cheng and Wayne walking in, everyone greeted Su Cheng.
No wonder this is a semi-finished computer. What is displayed in front of Su Cheng is a computer that has been assembled in various ways. The various circuits in the body can even be seen as messy and unattractive. feel.
However, judging from the external computer display screen, its system has become like MacOS, with cursors, windows and other elements available. However, now it is not called MacOS, but changed to Oracle OS.
“Boss, based on the information you gave us, we have initially produced samples of both processors and memories. Even the most complex processor has only been tape-outed a few times. It was successful. After two days of stability testing, we used the most advanced personal computer on the market to modify it, replacing the core components with our technology, and it became the computer in front of you," Wayne introduced. .
Su Cheng understood. It was like a tractor equipped with a car's engine, gearbox, and engine system. It was neither fish nor fowl. No wonder it looked different.
Without saying anything, he stepped forward and tried it out. The interface was indeed much more pleasing to the eye than the computer he had at home, but it was still not suitable for a person who had led the world for decades.
"Xiao Ai, if I give you this computer, will your work efficiency be faster?" Su Cheng asked Xiao Ai in his mind.
"Master, according to my calculations, this simple computer, although it is not perfect, can still speed up my work by about 18 times. Due to the increase in memory and the stronger processor, I It will also be easier to use." Xiao Ai replied.
That’s great! Su Cheng felt happy.
The computer at his home was really too slow for him to control even with Xiao Ai, making him too lazy to use it. It takes an hour to write a novel "Looking for Qin Ji". Su Cheng is naturally dissatisfied with this efficiency.
"How long will it take to build a truly perfect machine?" Su Cheng asked Wayne.
"Boss, according to our progress, if everything goes well, we will have about a month to build our first-generation Oracle computer. If it weren't for material limitations, our time could be shortened." Wayne replied.
They are some of the top people in the computer field in the world. Their computer talents are very powerful. Even when faced with more advanced technologies, they can quickly understand and use them.
Su Cheng nodded. It seemed that the overall progress was good.
Of course, this is also because Su City gave them complete information so that they do not need to develop it. If they were allowed to develop it by themselves, they would definitely go through many wrong paths and the time would increase more than ten times.
"How long will it take to make another machine like this?" Su Cheng asked.
“When we developed these core components based on the data, we made multiple parts in order to prevent accidents. Therefore, building the same computer can be completed in less than an hour. But boss, we only made it to test whether the performance of the core components meets the target. It is not very useful. Boss, why do you want to build another machine like this?" Wayne asked curiously.
In fact, the reason is very simple. In order to prevent burning due to incompatibility of core components during testing, several extra copies of each component are made. Even if the test fails, the second one can still be produced quickly. tests.
Just like the launch of the lunar exploration satellite, in order to prevent the launch from failing and causing the satellite to be implicated, when manufacturing lunar satellites, two lunar rovers are usually manufactured at one time. Even if the first launch fails, there will be a second launch Chance.
"I have other uses. Since I can build the same machine in an hour, then you can help me build one. I will move it back to my house later." Su Cheng said directly.
No one, including Wayne, can leak any information about this machine, let alone the parts in the laboratory. The security here is very strict.
However, Su Cheng is the boss here, and these computer technologies were given to them by Su Cheng, so of course he has the right to take them out.
"Since the boss needs it, I will arrange for someone to assemble one for you, boss." Wayne said directly without asking any more questions.
After Wayne arranged for someone to assemble a computer for him, Wayne took Su Cheng around the laboratory.
"Mr. Wayne, I also have some other technical information here. After the first-generation Oracle computer is developed, I will leave it to you to develop them." Su Cheng said while visiting.
"If so, that would be great. I feel as if I have become a witness to changing history." Wayne said in surprise.
Wayne is a crazy technology geek. After being exposed to these new technology materials, he even moved his residence to the North Point Industrial Park and often led some employees who voluntarily stayed to work overtime on a voluntary basis. Until late at night, just to be able to launch this product that can shock the entire technology industry as soon as possible.
He thought that after developing this computer, they would have to develop the next step!
In fact, Wayne was really right. He and even all the employees of Oracle Computer Company not only became witnesses of Sioux City's changing history, but also became participants!
