For people in the new millennium, the twentieth century, which has been completely gone, is a silent, bleak and bizarre era.
After all, the emergence of the mobile Internet has given ordinary people information flow anytime and anywhere and a colorful world, making people feel like living in a global village.
But in fact, the development of science and technology in the twentieth century was very rapid. On the contrary, the first two decades of the twenty-first century saw technological stagnation, and scientists were merely patching up on the basis of the original technology.
The appearance of computers has changed human life, so interconnected computers are equivalent to changing the world.
As early as the 1970s of the twentieth century, the concept of local area networks appeared. By the 1990s, it matured quickly.
Xiao Jinlang brought in an industrial advisory group over fifty to help plan the industrial route.
The gray-haired old men gave Zhou Qingfeng a lot of excitement. He just wanted to get a younger and more energetic technical team.
Anyway, the uncle has money, why not spend it to recruit people
Now that the people who spend a lot of money on recruiting are here, they must be given the best equipment.
As the saying goes, "a good horse with a good saddle", no matter what the technician is doing, a mobile phone and a computer are standard equipment.
But...
The mobile phone is easy to talk.
Because of the large-scale use of "Shengguang Machinery", the mobile communication equipment introduced by Tianyang Post and Telecommunications Bureau at a high price has greatly diluted the cost.
Originally, the entry fee for a number of five or six thousand yuan was a special price of three thousand yuan for Zhou Qingfeng.
But the computer is a bit troublesome.
At present, personal computers are still in the popularization stage, and networking is even more a trendy application.
Zhou Qingfeng bought ten tons of electronic waste every week, and after he specified that he would scrap the computer, he found that the things he got this time were a bit too complicated.
The 19-inch monitor in one water is cumbersome but majestic, and it looks like a high-end.
Six to seven hundred chassis, all of which are the latest 486 mainstream configurations. There are also more than two dozen unnamed servers, routers, hubs and used network cables.
These gadgets are a bit difficult.
The server market in the 1990s was particularly chaotic, with different chips and systems. Many manufacturers were eliminated in the following years, and it was difficult to find information.
Zhou Qingfeng made 486 improvised, really unable to do anything with miscellaneous brand equipment.
Ordinarily, it does not matter for stand-alone use. But the 486 is already a high-end product. It is always too wasteful to be able to build a network but not to build a network.
More importantly, Zhou Qingfeng wants to use the information center to strengthen the company's management, so as not to be entangled in a bunch of trivial matters every day. This requires professional intervention.
When Sweeze was called, five or six researchers from different units had arrived in the auditorium on the first floor of the Electrical and Mechanical Building of the Yeyuan Institute.
These people are in their 30s or 40s, which is the peak of energy and experience. All of them have graduated from famous domestic universities and have lived in the third line for more than ten years. Now is the time for them to play a role.
Schweitzer usually uses mainframes, domestically produced and imported. He is more familiar with the unix system, and he is really playing with high-end applications of large data volume calculations. But when he walked into the auditorium of the Electrical and Mechanical Building, his heart still thumped.
The auditorium was cleared of an empty space, and it was filled with'electronic waste' that Zhou Qingfeng had transported by truck.
'486', all of them are '486'.
The computing power of this thing is comparable to that of mainframes a decade ago.
A computer costs tens of thousands of dollars. How about hundreds of thousands of '486' piled up like garbage? How could tens of millions of dollars be so spoiled
Zhou Qingfeng has brought too many things recently to repair.
Electronic products are not easy to break. Unless it is something that he sells for money, he doesn't bother to repair his own equipment.
Anyway, there is more dust, and it can still run after power on.
If there are a few that can't run.
If you can't run, throw it aside and fix it when you have time.
Therefore, the computer mainframe in front of Swich's eyes was like a bankruptcy Internet cafe's clearance sale. Some cases are deflated, the shell is damaged, and it looks like scrap iron.
Swich and the others were arrested as coolies and saw the'scrap iron' all over the floor... No, the high-tech crystals all over the floor made them feel distressed to death.
Svechi hurriedly called to call for his lover, and then the others seemed to realize that they were also calling friends, attracting people number 30 or 40 to clean up the mess.
Svitch moved a few cases and opened the cover to see that they were covered with dust. Blow casually to cover your eyes and pungent nose. But wipe off the dust and look carefully, he sighed: "It's all good things, spoiled, really spoiled."
The '486' CPU is a cross-epoch.
In the past, '386' can only use DOS, but '486' can run a window interface.
For Schweitzer, who often runs calculations, the computing power of any computer is precious and cannot be wasted.
Zhou Qingfeng originally wanted to give command and give some tasks or something.
But Swich and the others who rushed over were all attracted by the computers all over the floor, and they didn't pay much attention to President Zhou. Your Excellency the President scratched his head, closed his mouth wisely, and slipped straight away.
Swich and others don't need to command at all.
Dozens of people worked together and cleared out more than two hundred cases in the middle of the night. They connected the case to the monitor and tested it with power on one by one. Ninety-five percent of the computers can start normally.
When it counts that there are two hundred 486s still available, there was a continuous cheer in the auditorium where the'garbage' was piled up. Everyone has a kind of inexplicable joy of picking up treasures, full of sense of accomplishment.
This is really a treasure!
Even if it is cheaper, a fully equipped 486 will cost 30,000 yuan, which is equivalent to picking up six million from the trash.
Six million is almost enough for a small scientific research project, not a small amount of money.
People who were unfamiliar with each other celebrated each other, although the dirty "e-waste" made them all gray, but everyone was still very happy.
It wasn't until this meeting that Swirch remembered why he came to the Mechanical and Electrical Building
"Eh..., where's Mr. Zhou?"
Everyone looked around, and found that they had done such a beautiful thing, and there was no leader to praise it.
Swich scratched his head, and after thinking about it carefully, he did not seem to see'Zhou Zhou'. Anyway, when he entered the auditorium, he was attracted by this pile of rubbish.
"Are these personal computers smuggled by Mr. Zhou?"
"It should be. Maybe through a special channel."
"Our task is to clean up these smuggled goods?"
"Not bad. The '486' is the best personal computer right now, and many research institutes don't have such good equipment."
How valuable is the computer? Many colleges and universities have spent huge sums of money to buy them and are reluctant to use them for fear that they will be used up.
It's really the first time I've seen someone thrown on the ground like Zhou Qingfeng.
Now that we have cleared out two hundred units, we can't just put them on the ground, right
After everyone was excited, they didn't know what to do next? They looked around and wanted to find a leader to ask for instructions. A computer worth millions of dollars should be guarded by someone.
Although it was late at night, Swich still took out the mobile phone he was carrying with him. He didn't think too much, and called Zhou Qingfeng's number back.
The beep sounded for a long time, and a lazy voice sounded, "Hello...?"
"Is it Mr. Zhou?" Swich was a little nervous, "We cleaned out those personal computers in half, should we send someone to guard it next?"
"Oh..., so fast?"
The lazy voice was a little surprised.
"I hope you can clean up those computers and use servers to form an internal LAN. You are Shi Gong, right? This task is left to you, okay?"
Men can't say no!
Looking at the piles of computer cases still piled up in the corner, the joy of picking up rubbish seems to be contagious.
Savage suddenly gave birth to a lofty ambition to be ordered in danger, "Of course. I will leave this to me."
