Watson sighed and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I really don't have much confidence in writing programs, Xiaoqiang, can you help me then?"

According to the division of labor negotiated by the two, Niu Xiaoqiang only needs to be responsible for the manufacturing of physical objects, and Watson is responsible for writing the software. At this moment, when he heard Watson asking for help from himself, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but be embarrassed: "Professor, this project is a bit sensitive, I am Chinese, if I get involved too deeply, I am afraid that it will lead to bad consequences." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang said this: "Besides, the original intention of this project is just to rescue Senior Robert (called Edward before, which has been modified to Robert), if you really encounter programming problems, you can ask the relevant departments to release Senior Robert to help you, this is a strategy we have long discussed, isn't it?"

The significance of intelligent robots is extraordinary, and if it really makes achievements, the first thing that will be interested must be the military. Just imagine: if you have an army of robots in your hands, you won't be afraid of the dead when you start a war, what a wonderful thing it is.

Watson continued to smile wryly: "Of course I know this, but if we want them to release people, we should also make certain achievements, otherwise if the robot can't even walk the most basic, how can it make them excited?"

Watson paused here and then continued: "Of course, the main thing is that the dynamic modeling technology you developed is very suitable for relevant experiments, and what I lack the most is experimental data, as long as you can provide me with data support, I don't have to worry about programming anymore, or you will work harder?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded slightly when he heard this: "If you just provide experimental data, then there is no problem, but for the sake of safety, it is best to keep this matter secret." ”

Watson breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, let's make a decision." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled: "Professor, there is a question that I have always been curious about, what is the relationship between you and Senior Robert, and why did you spend so much effort to rescue him?"

Watson had no reservations about Niu Xiaoqiang, and said honestly: "Because he has mentioned a concept to me before, I think this concept is very feasible, once realized, it will definitely form an extremely huge role in promoting the development of the entire computer industry, but before I had an in-depth discussion and research with him, he was arrested for illegal invasion, in order to realize this concept, I will spend so much effort to rescue him." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang became more and more interested when he heard this, Professor Watson is not a mediocre person, since he said that the concept proposed by Robert is so powerful, it means that this concept is indeed extraordinary. With Professor Watson's attainments in the field of computing, he will never look away.

"Professor, what concept did Senior Robert come up with?"

He himself calls the concept the 'World Wide Web.' ”

"World Wide Web?"

Well, I only heard him mention cursoryly, and according to him, the World Wide Web is primarily used to provide a huge database of data that can be shared by all computer users. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang understood when he heard it, and he nodded: "I see, this concept is indeed very feasible, and once it is realized, it will definitely form a huge promotion effect on the entire computer industry!"

Niu Xiaoqiang had only heard of the concept of the Internet before, the Internet is Niu Xiaoqiang's own translation of the name, this translation comes from its English name - Internet, in fact, the Internet was not called this name at the beginning, it was called ARPANET, the English name is ARPANET.

The concept of the Internet was put forward by the U.S. military in 1969. It's about connecting computer devices and then working together through interconnection. This can greatly improve work efficiency and maximize the integration of computer resources.

The name was later changed because the technology was eventually popularized in the civilian sector. Everything in the civilian category is called the Internet. The military thought the name was good, so they changed it.

The superiority of the Internet is obvious, it links computers together and together forms a huge network system. It has an incomparable advantage in the transmission and exchange of information.

As for the World Wide Web, in Niu Xiaoqiang's view, it is more like a kind of improvement of the Internet's functions. Its main purpose is to provide a database that can be all-encompassing, and once the database is built, it can be shared by those who own a computer, and this idea further explores the practical functions of computers.

Think about it, as long as you have a computer, you can get a huge amount of information through it, completely saving you the process of going to the library to find materials, isn't it very practical?

Zhang Xiaolan on the side was confused, although she is not a computer major, but computers in the United States are very popular, and she has also learned some knowledge about computers under the influence of her ears and eyes.

After listening to the conversation between Watson and Niu Xiaoqiang, Zhang Xiaolan couldn't help but show a confused look and said, "Isn't there already an Internet? Why do you want to get a World Wide Web?"

Niu Xiaoqiang explained with a smile: "The World Wide Web and the Internet are not the same concept, for example, the World Wide Web is equivalent to a destination, just like a library, and the Internet is a special road to the library, and the computer is equivalent to a means of transportation that can be driven on this special road, as long as you have a means of transportation, you can reach the library through the special road and view all the materials inside." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang's analogy is very vivid, Zhang Xiaolan understood it as soon as she heard it, and she sighed: "To put it bluntly, the World Wide Web is a huge source of information, right?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "Yes, that's it." ”

He thought to himself: This Robert is very powerful, he can actually come up with such a brilliant idea, if I have the opportunity, I must communicate with him to see if I can make him useful to me.

Niu Xiaoqiang has long seen the huge potential of the computer industry, and the myth of Apple has touched him a lot, and he now lacks the necessary technical and financial support to step into the physical computer manufacturing industry, and can only work hard from the software side.

Robert is undoubtedly a very creative computer talent, and if he can really win this guy over, he can do more with less.

When Niu Xiaoqiang was thinking so, the first part had already been processed. He opened the fixture, took the part off and checked it to make sure there were no problems before starting to work on the next part.

was busy until the clock, and Niu Xiaoqiang stopped. He didn't want to stop there, but if Professor Watson hadn't tried to dissuade him, he would have wanted to continue working for another two hours.
