Chapter 590 Every place has its hidden masters, as long as you are good at discovering them!
"Look, this pile here is the dismantled computer wreckage imported from France..."
Researcher Jeff pointed to a scattered pile of circuit boards in the corner.
Johnson smirked. "Seriously? You're saying this is a computer? I just don't believe it."
As he spoke, Johnson pointed to a control panel in the center of the laboratory. This control panel was quite advanced. Although it looked like a metal cabinet from a distance, it had two screens embedded in it. Below the screens were a bunch of keyboard-like things, and to the left of the keyboards was a joystick-like control handle, which looked quite like a car's gear shift lever.
"So you're saying French stuff is garbage? Even the circuit boards are made of flying wires... We're using integrated circuits as memory!"
"So what's this joystick for?"
"Ha! This is the greatest invention of the computer! It's even more advanced than the magnetic tape storage system invented by the French!" Researcher Jeff excitedly pulled the thing off the console.
Johnson took a closer look and found that it was actually a wooden box with two perpendicular wheels at the bottom and a long cable trailing behind it.
"This is called an XY axis position indicator for a display system!"
"Just imagine how painful it would be to operate a computer by inserting all sorts of abstract punched paper tapes or typing in easily confused logic codes!"
"With this, it's all different! Just move the joystick, and the cursor on the screen will move to the corresponding position. Combined with the INSERT and DELETE keys on the keyboard, it's enough to keep our fingers from cramping!"
"Oh! That's really impressive!" The young man from Johnson wasn't really thinking about that: "So, can we start teaching computer assembly now?"
Seeing that his efforts to present something were not being respected, researcher Jeff put down what he was holding somewhat dejectedly.
"Okay, let's begin..."
"First, put this piece at the bottom, then this piece, then this piece, and finally connect them with flying wire, and you're done!"
Jeff pointed listlessly to a pile of circuit boards in the corner, speaking very quickly.
The young Johnson & Johnson employee looked completely bewildered. "Damn it, aren't all these circuit boards the same? How do I stack them up? Flying wires? Where do I fly them?"
Never mind, let's pick it up and take a look!
As the young Johnson & Johnson researcher Jeff squatted down to touch the pile of circuit boards, a wicked smile crept onto his lips, as if he were anticipating something.
Uncle Jin, who had been observing coldly, stretched out his left foot and hooked...
Johnson immediately plopped down on the ground. Uncle Jin glanced at the researcher again and saw a hint of regret in his eyes, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Hey Jeff! I came up with a plan to earn welfare benefits, have you heard?"
"Yes! Great philanthropist Larry, of course I've heard! But what does it have to do with me? Of all your benefits, if even a tiny fraction of it gets to us after going through the department, we're lucky..."
Jeff shrugged, went back to the console, and picked up the joystick.
Uncle Jin walked up behind him: "So sentimental, did you develop this location indicator? Did you apply for a patent?"
"Yeah! The relevant paper is stuck with my supervisor, and the patent process is only halfway through and hasn't progressed much. But this is really a great thing!"
"Excuse me, but who is your advisor?"
"Engelbart of Stanford's Augmentation Research Center!"
"Hey, I knew the CIA couldn't be in. The teacher must think I'm with Hofstadter, otherwise he wouldn't be treating me like this..."
"Jeff! If I can get your paper approved, and help you promote your XY axis position indicator in our yet-to-be-established 'electronics supermarket,' could you do something to help us with our initial plans?"
"Seriously teach him how to assemble a computer?"
"Really?"
"Of course! Who am I? Honest and reliable Larry! Savior of CIA benefits, Larry! The best listener to workplace bullying, Larry!"
"You've heard these comments before, haven't you?"
Seeing that the bald Jeff was still hesitating, Uncle Kim leaned down and spoke in a softer voice: "Jeff, Jeff, my dear Jeff."
"Just imagine! When you get a ton of green dollars through your research, bring it home, and spread it on your newly replaced bed, what kind of enthusiasm will your wife, who's always complaining about why you haven't made it big yet, have?"
"Your lovely child, holding a fluffy toy, looks at you with adoring eyes and happily says: 'I love Daddy the most...'"
"Oh my, that heartwarming scene is truly enviable!"
The scene described by Uncle Jin made Jeff squint slightly, and his face beamed with a smile.
"Done!"
Researcher Jeff bent down, rummaged through the cabinet for a while, and pulled out a box with a metal casing.
"LARRY! This is my thesis, I'm counting on you!"
After saying that, he took out two bracelet-like objects and fastened them on Johnson.
"Lucky guy! Thank Larry, otherwise, I would have pinned that two million dollar loss on you!"
"Eh?"
"Heh heh, with your static-filled hands, if you touch these exposed transistors, what do you think will happen to them!"
“FUC…”
……
Time flies, and it's evening again.
Johnson, the young man, looked utterly dejected as Jeff continued explaining how to fly the line...
It was just a brief explanation; even Jeff's tone slowed down during his explanation.
Fortunately, although Johnson was born abroad, he has learned the lesson that a bad pen is worse than a good memory quite well.
“Jeff! That’s not right! Even though you repeated it a second time, you just said that the flying wire here is connected to port C.”
"But you clearly said the first time that the port should be connected to A!"
"Really?"
"Nonsense! Look at the drawing I made!"
"(⊙o⊙)..."
"The French are so damn lazy! Who doesn't label the ports on their circuit boards?!"
Jeff peeked at the circuit diagram, then finally couldn't help but burst into a tirade. Johnson nodded vigorously in agreement.
"I suspect that if they were to tie the knot themselves again, they would be completely confused!"
Johnson pressed his head against the floor to cool his agitated mind. In a daze, he seemed to see a tuft of hair swaying in the wind, and heard a strange "hehehe" laugh.
Hmm? Is it a hallucination?
Jeff gritted his teeth and looked at Uncle Kim, who was flipping through his thesis.
Uncle Jin looked up, revealing eight teeth, and it seemed as if a "ding" sound could be heard.
"Teach him, Jeff! A wonderful life awaits you!"
do not care!
Jeff got up, ran to the control panel, and started banging on it. Then, he rotated a cabinet in front of the control panel 180 degrees.
A video wall composed of multiple screens appeared in front of Uncle Jin and his group.
As Jeff quickly entered the command, the video wall displayed a series of distorted stripes before a colorful image appeared.
"Haha, I knew French stuff was unreliable. I took pictures when they were taking it apart!"
"Let me see where this fly wire is connected to?"
As Jeff moved the XY-axis position indicator he had invented, the photo actually zoomed in a bit...
hiss……
The advent of color television did not surprise Uncle Kim and his colleagues. After all, RCA (Radio Corporation of the Bald Eagle) had launched the first color television set in 54, and color commercial television programs had already appeared as early as 51.
To their astonishment, the photos taken by the camera could be played on the computer! And even enlarged!
What kind of alien technology is this?!
"Jeff! Did you invent the technology for this photo too?"
Jeff stared intently at the screen, searching through a jumble of wires for the one he had marked wrong.
“Hmm!” Jeff pointed to a machine in the corner.
"Not practical! It took almost three hours to scan this photo. The resolution is still too low! But for black and white, it's quite fast, only ten minutes!"
"Jeff, I'll help you apply for a patent for this too! Do you want me to send you the paper as well?"
Uncle Jin smiled very kindly.
Like a square-faced fox that saw Little Grey.
"Row!"
