Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

In the past 1987, China's gross national product increased by more than 10%, national income increased by more than 10%, gross industrial output increased by more than 17%, agriculture increased by nearly 6%, and the retail price index of commodities increased by 7.3%.

In general, the momentum of overheated economic development has been appropriately controlled.

At the same time, many problems were encountered in the transition from a planned economy to a market economy, especially the "dual price system" aggravated conflicts.

In this round of inflation that began in 1986, the monthly CPI, the consumer price index, exceeded 5% in January 1987. In January 1988, it increased by 9.4% year-on-year. Prices continued to rise. The people responded strongly. The capital’s “vegetable basket” "The question was even directly brought to the press conference during the "two sessions" from March to April this year.

"One catty bottle of Moutai jumped from 20 yuan per bottle to more than 300 yuan, Fenjiu rose from 8 yuan to 40 yuan, Gujing Gongjiu rose from 12 yuan to 70 yuan, and Chinese tobacco rose from 1.8 yuan per pack to more than ten yuan. "Because of work needs, Zhuang Xingtai, who has traveled all over China and is more knowledgeable, said in detail to Tang Huan, who has completed his political and administrative tasks: "People nowadays are crazy. They buy things when they see it, whether they need it or not. I don’t care whether the quality is good or bad. The refrigerator is air-conditioned and the TV shows the picture. In summer, I snapped up sweaters and pants, and some people even bought 500 boxes of matches in one go."

"There is no ready-made example of reform and opening up to copy, and it is always inevitable to avoid the painful period..." Tang Huan sighed sighfully.

"There won't be a big problem?" Zhuang Xingtai asked anxiously. He and his wife have been living and working in the mainland for many years from avoiding disasters in Xiangjiang to the Special Economic Zone. Even their children were born here. The feelings for this land have grown stronger, and they will inevitably suffer losses and gains.

"It's not a big deal. Look at it, as soon as the bank implements value preservation and savings, the atmosphere will immediately ease." Tang Huan waved his hand happily.

At this time, my uncle Meng Qingguan walked in and handed Tang Huan an antique wooden box, "For you."

Tang Huan opened it and saw a pair of fine-quality Hetian jade hand ornaments on the silk. He couldn't help but asked in a puzzled manner, "For no reason, why do you spend so much thought to give me such a delicate thing?"

Meng Qingguan smiled slightly, "Everyone can see that you are hot in summer, and you have a good jade, so you can raise it well."

Tang Huan buttoned the box gently, and muttered: "Why don't you find me two walnuts and fiddle with them in your hands."

"One little thing, I'll find it for you." Meng Qingguan called immediately, and then asked with concern, "I have only stayed for a few days, why do I leave so quickly?"

Tang Huan stretched his waist and replied, “I’m efficient at work. Everything that should be done is done. Moreover, there is a very important product launch event waiting to be attended in the United States.”

"You have lived a full life, and I am free now, so as not to get caught up with the ‘official’ which is like a rat crossing the street, everyone yells and beats." Meng Qingguan complained in an uncomfortably idle time.

"You can go out and go around." Tang Huan casually suggested: "Go to the United States to visit my little cousin, and don't stop by my uncle Funan."

"It's not easy to go too far. The elderly in the family are old. Your uncle is working in the special zone. I have to stay at home and wait for dispatch." Meng Qingguan shook his head and asked in a low voice, "I went in yesterday." When I was in the study, I happened to hear you say to the old man that the Soviet Union’s luck is exhausted, and the value of China’s checks and balances in the United States will decrease accordingly. Really?"

"This time I took the opportunity of the Arctic Science Expedition Cooperation Opportunity to travel in European countries for more than two months, especially in the Soviet Union for a long time. I came to this conclusion after seeing and hearing with my own eyes." Tang Huan replied leisurely: "You can imagine that the dignified world's only second superpower, people in big cities will spend two hours in long queues every day in order to purchase foodstuffs such as cheese, butter, etc. Huh?"

"The huge funds needed to deal with the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear accident made the Soviet Union’s already difficult economy worse and even affected the popularity of the people; the elite ruling class of the Soviet Union secretly concealed ghosts for their small interest groups; they withdrew from Afghanistan. The coming army, in order to get rid of the responsibility of Gerbachev, is afraid to avoid doing the face-saving project of meeting condolences. It is conceivable how chilling the middle and lower classes of the army are."

"Adding countless factors together, using the undercurrents to move undercurrents, and the dangers to describe them, it is not necessarily the subtlety of them all."

"Are you too sensitive? This is politics, not a shopping mall." Meng Qingguan murmured after touching the top of his middle-aged hair where his hair began to become thinner.

"Politics? Shopping malls? Are the boundaries so clear?" Tang Huan laughed dumbly, "My little uncle, the high-tech crystallization you take for granted-Fangyuan personal computers, why are some models allowed to be sold in the Soviet Union? Because it is invisiblely convenient The publication of the text has enhanced the freedom of speech, and has become another offensive method. My uncle, don’t make excuses for being lazy, go out and go around."

Meng Qingguan struck a haha, "Let's talk about it when I practice English again. It was very inconvenient to go out before."

...

According to his original plan, Tang Huan returned to the United States to release studiOS1988 after his trip to Europe, and then started his trip to Asia; however, he temporarily changed his plan and traveled to China ahead of schedule, and witnessed the private panic buying under inflation this summer. , Inevitably, the schedule is a little nervous.

When Tang Huan returned to San Francisco, it was already Sunday, August 7. Tomorrow is the official release time of studiOS1988, which has been postponed once.

Although the schedule is a bit rushed, fortunately, the key things are all in Tang Huan's mind. It only takes a little time to make up some sporadic additional information.

After a while, the highly anticipated studiOS1988 was finally released in the San Francisco Municipal Auditorium.

This also means that following the OEM channel that was opened more than three months ago, ordinary users can finally get this product from the retail channel and spend a price ranging from US$149 to US$299 according to functional needs. The fourth-generation Fangyuan personal computer or the fourth-generation Fangyuan personal computer-MMX provides a new generation of graphical user interface experience.

More than 6000 people attended, which shows the grand occasion of the press conference. In addition to the indispensable media, regardless of whether they belong to the Fangyuan computer ecosystem or not, they have dispatched personnel to conduct close-range evaluations in the first time.

In fact, with the convening of the Philosophy Developers Conference in April this year, as well as the shipments of millions of units of four-generation Fangyuan personal computers and four-generation Fangyuan personal computers-MMX, and their compatible computers in the past few months, studiOS1988 For those with a heart, it's not a secret.

There is no dispute, among the currently known graphical user interface operating systems that are commercially available, including Apple’s MAC_System, Microsoft’s Windows, NeXT’s NeXTSTEP, Digital Research’s GEM, Quarterdeck_Office_Systems’ DESQview/X, etc., and studiOS1988 It pales in comparison.

The excellence and success of studiOS has made it a template for the industry to research and imitate. And a new patch added by studiOS1988 in these three months made everyone have to think about it.

Gein, the two major series of CISC microprocessors used in personal computers at this stage, the Motorola MC68000 family and the Intel x86 family, have reached the threshold of upgrading. Samples of the latest generation of microprocessors MC68040 and Intel80486 have been sent to important companies in the industry such as Zheru, Fangyuan, IBM, Microsoft, Compaq, Apple and other important companies in the industry. At the studiOS1988 conference, it is said that there will be a hair dryer. Related presentations.

The energetic Tang Huan stepped onto the stage and announced the official global release of studiOS1988 and introduced the features of studiOS1988 in accordance with the established process. Finally, he smiled and said: "I learned about it in private and found out that everyone is concerned about studiOS1988 on the latest hardware. The support is very curious. Therefore, I deliberately coordinated with two Fangyuan PC prototypes that are still in the development stage, running studiOS1988, and letting friends try it out, which is regarded as an exchange and discussion on the trend of the industry."

Upon hearing this, the people who came to spy on business intelligence were all refreshed, but then they could not help but curse secretly. Tang Huan’s ostensibly approachable display was purely a gimmick—the two were respectively. MC68040 and Intel80486 prototypes, the degree of strict prevention is simply outrageous.

In the so-called demonstration, only one of the prototypes can be used at the same time, and the selected candidates are only media reporters, and they are also supervised by the staff and cannot take pictures on the spot, especially the experience time ends at 11:45.

Under such demanding circumstances, many purposeful professionals, including Gates, can only watch from a distance, not close and play, don't mention too much anxious.

Even so, some information can be confirmed on the spot.

For example, after Jobs was squeezed out of Apple in 1985, Jean-Louis Garcy, who took over the MAC department and was promoted to the director of development, can be sure that the TV is playing the VCD of the hot movie "Die Hard" this summer. The CPU inside is the MC68040 — regardless of the operating system studiOS1988 or the system information interface of the third-party software Norton Doctor, it clearly shows this point.

Over there, currently the largest IBM compatible manufacturer-Compaq's CEO Rod Kennion, frowned and came to a similar conclusion-Fangyuan's prototype seems to make Intel 80486 work quite well. , Regardless of the traditional Zheru office software, or the emerging multimedia playback software XingPlay, all run very smoothly.

It should be known that these ace applications, which have been mainstream or are pushing hard, consume hardware resources significantly when they are transferred to the memory for execution by the CPU, which can be described as a comprehensive test of the entire system.

From the perspective of the stable state of the prototype operation, the development progress of the next generation Fangyuan personal computer is obviously much faster than that of its own-its own CompaqDeskPro486 can not make Windows2 start normally.

"The situation is not good. Originally, the IBM compatible computer was in the cracks and was in a disadvantage. If Fangyuan Computer Co., Ltd. took the lead in launching the Intel 80486 personal computer, it would be even more passive." Rod Kennion couldn't help. I lamented in my heart.

It is also ironic to say that Fangyuan personal computers are divided into two major branches according to the different microprocessors used ~www.wuxiahere.com~-Motorola One Series and Intel One Series, which can be described as two-line combat, but the two major factions are the most The representative products-Apple Computer and IBM-PC, are inferior, are they evil?

Fortunately, Rod Kenyon also confirmed a gain, that is the actual performance of the Intel 80486.

According to Intel's technical specifications, from a software point of view, the Intel 80486 instruction set is very similar to Intel 80386, with only a small number of new instructions added; but from the hardware point of view, the Intel 80486 structure has a great breakthrough. It moved the cache to the CPU, and especially integrated a floating-point arithmetic processor. Under the most ideal conditions, the core of the Intel 80486 can process an instruction in one time period, and then provides approximately twice the performance of the Intel 80386 at the same clock frequency.

Of course, in practice, it is impossible for a new generation of CPUs to improve performance by 100% over the previous generation. However, judging from the performance of the Fangyuan prototype, it is very possible to achieve a 20% increase.

Thinking of this, Rod Kenyon glanced at Gates who was also carefully observing the prototype not far away, and thought to himself: "This still needs Microsoft to be able to do more in the operating system. The current Windows is really not flattering."

At this time, Gates, who was staring at the prototype display without blinking, was both excited and apprehensive-the powerful features of studiOS1988 convinced him that the main battlefield of the IT industry will shift to the software field in the future. Tang Huan's philosophers are competing head-on. (To be continued.) Find this site and search for \"Biquge CM\" or enter the URL: www.biquge.cm
