Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 1739: An Unimaginable World (First Update, Please Subscribe)
What does the future look like?

Almost everyone has various visions for the future.

But most of the time, humans can never imagine something they have never seen.

“What do they use?”

Standing on the streets of Chang'an, Chen Shaoli's expression was full of confusion. A month ago, he and his wife and children arrived in Chang'an after many twists and turns.

Everything he saw completely overturned his imagination. Having once studied in Iowa, USA, he did not have any special feelings about high-rise buildings. At most, he was just surprised that there were more skyscrapers here than in the United States.

The same is true for his wife - she also studied in the United States.

His wife, who was standing beside him, tentatively guessed:
"It seems that what they have is a radio..."

"Uh, do they all carry radios with them? Aren't they afraid of being mistaken for spies..."

After saying this, Chen Shaoli realized that no one here seemed to care about these things.

“They don’t seem to be the same…”

What exactly is the difference?

Almost all of them had smiles on their faces, and even those who were walking and talking with a brick in their hands would nod slightly to them when they saw their gazes.

Everyone was very kind and friendly.

There is no such solemnity as sitting upright with a serious face, nor such passionate confrontation between enemies and me. There is only a kind of peace and kindness.

Just as they were looking at everything in front of them with curiosity, a car stopped in front of them, and then someone got out of the car.

"Shao Li, Wei Yue..."

As soon as the man got out of the car, he excitedly walked up to them, regardless of the difference between men and women, and gave them both a strong hug, and then said:
"It's been nineteen years! For nineteen years, I've been thinking about you every day, wondering how you're doing. Is everything okay?"

Chen Shaoli and his wife were extremely moved to be hugged by old friends whom they hadn't seen for many years. When they wanted to say "it's okay",

An old friend who I haven't seen for many years said:
"I know, I've heard it, okay, it's all over, let's go, get in the car!"

After that, he personally opened the door for his old friend. After getting into the BMW, Chen Shaoli looked at his old friend's driver with some curiosity, and then felt the cold air in the car, and said:
"Tiebao, it seems that you have developed quite well in the past ten years. Not only do you have a luxury car, but you also have a driver."

Listening to his friend's words, he smiled and said:

"Oh, I just caught the trend. You know, when I was in the United States, I only had some exposure to computers. After I came here, I started working with computers. Ten years ago, I took advantage of the computer boom and used venture capital to start a computer company. Then, I succeeded accidentally. The success was a bit unexpected."

When he talked about this, he couldn't help laughing, and then he said:
“Perhaps this is what you mean when you say, ‘If you stand on the right vent, even a pig can fly.’”

Although he was just joking, Chen Shaoli could tell that when he said this, his words were full of respect for that gentleman.

"By the way, you just got here, have you arranged your work?"

"It's settled. I'm going to Borneo Oil Company, and Wei Yue is going to Taiping University."

Listening to his friend's answer, he nodded and said:

"Go to Taiping, it's the chemistry capital of SEA. You all study chemistry, so you will definitely be able to show your talents there."

“I’m worried that my knowledge is lagging behind.”

Chen Shaoli said with some concern:

"These past few days, I feel like I have never seen or heard of many things here. Not to mention the computers, even the knowledge in the field of chemistry is probably way behind."

His words were naturally agreed by his wife. In the past few days, they had seen so many new and even unimaginable things that they felt like they were in the future.

"That's not a problem. In the past few years, especially in the past two years, there have been many people like you who came here with old passports. Although they lagged behind at the beginning, they quickly caught up..."

As he was speaking, the "Brick" beside him rang. The crisp electronic ringtone was very loud in the car. He quickly picked up the phone:

"Yes, it's me. Yeah, yeah, okay, I got it. Let's continue testing. Yes, let's further improve our system..."

Looking at their old friend holding the white "brick" and talking there, Chen Shaoli and his wife looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Until now, they had no idea what it was.

After hanging up the phone, looking at the puzzled expressions of his old friends, he raised the mobile phone in his hand and explained:
"This is a mobile phone. You can make calls without a phone line."

"You can make calls without a phone line?"

Chen Shaoli was surprised:

"Like a radio station?"

“Almost the same, but there are still many differences…”

Finally, he explained to his old friends the principles of telephone, from cellular networks to FDMA analog technology that divides the total bandwidth into multiple orthogonal channels, with each user occupying one channel.

As an electronic computer company owner, he is no stranger to mobile phone technology, and even his Phantom Electronics company is conducting research in this area.

Listening to his old friend's explanation, Chen Shaoli couldn't help but exclaimed:
"This... the technology here is really advancing with each passing day. It's all things that we have never heard of or seen before."

Looking at the old friend in front of him, he thought for a moment and then said:

"You may not feel it yet, but in the past decade or so, tremendous changes have taken place. Computers have entered ordinary people's homes, and even the Internet is beginning to enter ordinary people's homes,"

"Internet? What is this?" He then introduced what the Internet is. Chen Shaoli and his wife were completely surprised. When they learned that resources could be shared through computers and the Internet, and that anyone with a computer could visit various websites and look up a lot of information, they were all stunned and didn't even know how to describe their feelings for a moment.

"...After the Taiping Sunshine cable is connected, our network will also be connected to the US network. When that time comes, when our friends in the US want to contact us, they can just send an email and the other party will receive it in the blink of an eye."

"You mean America has the Internet now, right?"

"Of course, although we were the first to develop Internet technology, it is now being popularized around the world. Not only the United States has heard that the Soviets also built their own Internet, but do you know if they have optical cables?"

Listening to these novel and desirable things, Chen Shaoli said:
"You mean these... personal computers, fiber optic cables, the Internet, these are all things you invented?"

When he said this, his tone seemed a little nervous, but more expectant. He was looking forward to hearing the answer.

“Yes, these are all new technologies invented by our companies.”

Looking at the anticipation and surprise flashing in his old friend's eyes, he could understand his feelings. After all, they went to the United States to study during the war, and they all went to the United States with dreams in their hearts.

Although I made different choices later, my dream has never changed.

"This is really amazing! I never thought that so many of the world's most advanced technologies could be developed."

"Yeah, it's really unexpected."

Listening to the exclamations of his old friends, he held up his mobile phone and said:

"This mobile phone is also our invention. You may not know that the first time it was shown to the world was when you visited the United States. At that time, the whole world watched through satellite live broadcast how you used the mobile phone to chat with your family. Although it was only a few short sentences, the whole world knew about mobile phones that day."

Then he seemed to remember something and emphasized:
"By the way, satellite live broadcasting is also our invention."

"Ah! Satellite live broadcast! ... Did you mean you launched a satellite?"

His friend's doubts filled his eyes with confusion. He said:

"That was many years ago, and we later sent people into space."

"You can have your own cosmonaut, like Gagarin."

Chen Shaoli looked at his old friend in surprise and said:

"How is this possible?"

"How can it be impossible? Our astronauts are the first astronauts in the world to enter space."

"Isn't it Gagarin? He even stayed in space for more than twenty hours!"

"Yes, it was Gagarin we read about in the newspapers."

"Wang Baobaoxian went to space earlier than Gagarin. Although they went to space on the same day, he went a few minutes earlier. However, the Soviet Union was also very impressive. They were the first to send a man to the moon."

"what!"

Chen Shaoli and his wife exclaimed at the same time:
"The Soviets put a man on the moon. You mean they landed on the moon, right?"

Seeing the surprised looks of his old friends, he couldn't help but said with some doubt:

"Don't you know? This happened several years ago."

Looking at the confused looks on the couple's faces, he continued:
"Not only did the Russians send their astronauts to the moon, but Gagarin was the first to land on the moon. A few months later, the Americans also sent their astronauts to the moon. A few months later, we sent our astronauts to the moon, as well as British astronauts. Our lunar project was an international collaboration, but it was no big deal. After all, we built the rockets and the lunar spacecraft. The Chinese only participated in the development of some subsystems and were mainly responsible for paying for it..."

Chen Shaoli and his wife were in complete shock as they listened to their old friend recounting their journey to the moon in such a calm and relaxed manner.

They had no idea that humans had actually landed on the moon. Not only did the Soviets send their astronauts to the moon, but the Americans also sent their astronauts to the moon.

SEA was not to be outdone and sent its own astronauts to the moon.

All of this is really too unbelievable.

Looking at his friends' surprised expressions, he thought for a moment and then said:
"There will be a launch mission at Wanhu Cape in the next two days. It should be the No. 1 module of the International Space Station. The Cape is on the way to Taiping. If you have time, you may want to go and take a look."

"International Space Station, what is this?"

In the following period, Chen Shaoli's wife was in shock and constant shock, surprise and constant surprise.

What they learned was far beyond their imagination; it was something they had never heard of or seen before.

Finally, when the car stopped in front of the hotel, Chen Shaoli looked at Chang'an outside the car window and said with great emotion.

"I really didn't expect that the world has developed to this point. It's really unexpected."

When he sighed, there was a hint of loss in his eyes, and his wife beside him could understand his mood, so she patted him on the shoulder gently and said:
"Why don't we go back and watch the space station launch together?"

Chen Shaoli finally came back to his senses. While nodding in agreement, he looked at his old friend with confusion and asked.

"Can we go and see such an important thing as the launch of a space station? Isn't it kept secret?"

"There's no need to keep this secret. Once it's launched, the whole world will know about it."

he said with a smile.

"Every time a launch takes place, tens of thousands of people go to Wanhujiao to watch it. It has even become a tourist attraction. I will ask the driver to take you there when the time comes."
