Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 145 Trial Laptop

"After I got off the boat, I headed in the direction of the sun, which means that Aoshan Town should be in the west, and then I strayed into that village. The direction the old man pointed was also in line with the sun's orbit. From this point of view, as long as If you head west, you may find Aoshan Town."

When Watson said this, he looked up at the sun in the sky, and after confirming his position, he was slightly relieved.After resting for about ten minutes, he stood up and continued on his way.

There were many thorns in the mountains and forests. Watson's clothes were cut in many places, and his skin was also cut in some places. He looked quite embarrassed.

Even so, Watson dared not slow down.This is a barren mountain, if he doesn't get out of the mountain before dark, then he has to spend the night in the forest, which is not a good thing.

Watson failed to achieve his wish. When the sun went down, he was still walking through the mountains and forests without even seeing a single person.

Before it was completely dark, Watson stopped on his way.He knew that it would not help to continue walking, so he might as well find a safe place to camp while there was some light, otherwise he would not be able to see clearly after dark, and it would be difficult to find a foothold at that time.

Soon, Watson found a place he thought was safer. Here was a gap between the rocks. The rocks above extended out, and people could hide under it to shelter from the wind and rain.

Watson only ate something in the morning, and after a long day's journey, his stomach was already flattened by hunger.He opened the backpack to see if there was anything to eat in it.As a result, I searched and found nothing.There are only cameras, film and English-Chinese dictionary in the backpack, in addition to a trial laptop computer he brought from China.

This laptop is from International Business Machines Corporation (IBM).At present, the laptop computer is not yet on the market and is still in the research and development stage. This trial machine is also known as a concept machine as the saying goes.

Manufacturers need to collect some necessary user experience when developing computer products.Watson, as a professor of the Department of Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is very familiar with all aspects of computers and is a very suitable experience object, so the manufacturer took the initiative to come to him and gave him a concept computer for free, hoping to get it from Watson. Some suggestions for improvement.

The laptop, though clunky, was, in Watson's view, a groundbreaking invention.Watson, who is used to using a desktop computer, was fascinated at first glance, and even came to China and took pains to carry it on his back.

In addition, there are two other reasons for Watson to carry this laptop with him.

The first is its price.When the International Business Machines people gave Watson the laptop, they said it would cost tens of thousands of dollars.Although Watson's annual salary is very high, he was still taken aback. He didn't feel at ease if he didn't carry such high-end and expensive equipment with him.

Secondly, it has something to do with his trip to China.He is here to inspect the students this time. In order to let outstanding Chinese students get acquainted with the fields that they need to study in the future, he thinks it is necessary to let these students know about computers first.This can act as a stimulus and grab the best quality students.

You must know that these Chinese students are very sought-after in the top universities in the United States. If you don’t pay attention, you will be snatched away by other universities if you don’t pay attention. That would be a pity.

But as things stand, neither a camera nor a laptop is worth as much as a loaf of bread.Watson couldn't find any food, so he couldn't help but smile wryly: "Who would have thought that I, Watson, would have such a day? I carry tens of thousands of dollars of high-end equipment on my body, but I can't even fill my stomach."

After laughing at himself, Watson sighed and lay down with his back against the rock.After walking for a day today, Watson was exhausted physically, and his body was very tired. He fell asleep not long after.

"Snapped!"

There were so many mosquitoes in the mountains that it was outrageous that Watson was bitten awake by the mosquitoes after less than two hours of sleep, and then fought tirelessly against the mosquitoes.

At the end of the moon, Watson was so bitten that he had to stand up and walk around.In this way, the mosquitoes would not be able to land on him, and naturally it would be impossible to bite him.Of course, he couldn't rest anymore.

When it was so noisy until it was dark, Watson finally didn't have to bear it anymore, and he walked down the mountain.

Since he had already determined the direction before the break yesterday, he didn't have to worry about going the wrong way.

After walking forward for about half an hour, Watson found a wild peach tree.The peaches on the tree were ripe, and Watson, who was already hungry, didn't care about getting dirty. He picked the peaches and wiped them on his body before stuffing them into his mouth.

After eating more than two catties of peaches in a row, Watson's hunger finally subsided a lot.He pulled himself together and continued on his way.

An hour later, Watson panted heavily and turned over a hill. When he stood on the hill and turned around, he saw Niu Xiaoqiang walking on the mountain road with a hoe.

In fact, he is very close to Aoshan Town now, only a few miles away.But he was afraid that he would get lost again, and he really wanted to find someone to confirm his position.

Surprisingly, Watson ran down the mountain, but accidentally stepped on the air, rolled down the mountain skin, and was finally blocked by a big tree, which prevented a worse situation from happening.

Because of this, he missed Niu Xiaoqiang.

Watson is a very determined person, and he was fed up with the experience of running around in the mountains, so he quickly made up his mind that no matter what, he must find someone to ask the way.

Ten minutes after Niu Xiaoqiang left with his hoe on his shoulders, Watson came to the mountain road scrambling.This was the first time he saw the road after more than ten hours, and he couldn't help but feel very kind.

After a short rest, Watson walked towards the left hand side by relying on the direction Niu Xiaoqiang had just seen.

Niu Xiaoqiang has already walked to his sesame field and is weeding with a hoe.From time to time, he would stop to wipe off his sweat, and flip through the math books he brought over.

This university mathematics book is mainly about calculus.Through this period of hard work, Niu Xiaoqiang has basically mastered the mathematics knowledge in high school, and the next step is naturally to get in touch with more advanced university mathematics knowledge.

Although calculus is very difficult, it is for other people, but not for Niu Xiaoqiang.

There is a very special thing about his brain, that is, the more he uses his brain, the smarter he becomes.The characteristics of this kind of growth are very scary, even Niu Xiaoqiang doesn't know how he will grow in the future.

At the beginning, Niu Xiaoqiang was worried that if he used his brain too much, he would become a fool again.But as time went by, Niu Xiaoqiang gradually dispelled this concern.
