After Niu Xiaoqiang finished speaking, Xiaolan interrupted: "Do you want to apply for a business license?" Don't worry, my father has already found someone to help you do it in the afternoon, and I promise to help you get things done within three days." ”

What else could Niu Xiaoqiang say? He had to nod: "Okay, I'll accompany you to practice English in the past few days, I hope it can help you." ”

Xiaolan immediately laughed happily: "Thank you!"

Looking at Xiaolan's happy smile, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but sigh secretly: A person who used to be so rebellious has become so easy-going now, it seems that studying abroad is Xiaolan's heart knot, and after untying the knot, she is in a good mood.

Xiaolan took advantage of Niu Xiaoqiang's meal to discuss some oral English problems with him. Niu Xiaoqiang chatted with her while eating, and Xiaolan got up to say goodbye after he finished eating.

"Sister Yu, you go back to your room to rest first, and I'll go talk to that foreigner about something. ”

Yu Simei looked at Watson's door a little worriedly, and reminded: "Xiaoqiang, you have to pay attention to safety, I always think that foreigners look terrible." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help laughing: "Sister Yu, foreigners are actually not terrible, you just don't know them, and when you see a lot, you will feel very normal." ”

Yu Simei nodded and walked into her room.

"Professor, I'm here. ”

"Oh, I'll open the door. ”

The door opened quickly, and before Niu Xiaoqiang could speak, he was pulled to the table by Watson.

With a concept laptop on the table that hasn't been released yet, Watson smiled and asked, "Do you remember it?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "Of course I remember, when we first met, you were going to use it to verify the Königsberg Seven Bridges problem, but before you could verify it, the machine ran out of power, you called it a computer at the time, I was not wrong?"

Thinking of the past, Watson looked annoyed: "The performance of this machine is actually very good, but the capacity of the battery is too small, and it suddenly ran out of power at the critical moment, which made me so embarrassed. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang is still very curious about computers. When he was in Sanyang Tractor Factory before, Huang Li said that his computing power was comparable to that of a computer, and later Watson demonstrated the magic of computers in front of him. Although the demonstration was not successful, it successfully aroused Niu Xiaoqiang's curiosity about computers, and to be honest, he had long wanted to see it.

"It's a computer screen, it's mainly used to display data, but it can also work with graphical interfaces, you see, I'm going to show you a very interesting thing. ”

Watson tapped the keyboard as he spoke, and a small snake popped out of the monitor. Although the graphics are rough, the snake's movements are very nimble, and it burrows around the screen, looking not only not scary, but also cute.

Niu Xiaoqiang's expression was very calm, in his opinion, it was the same as watching TV, there was nothing magical.

Watson smirked: "This is motion graphics technology, boy, you may not know my name, to tell you the truth, I am very famous in the computer industry, especially in graphics processing, I am a pioneer!"

Watson showed an expression of "I am a very powerful character", but Niu Xiaoqiang was not moved at all, but pouted: "Professor, if the motion graphics processing technology you are talking about is to make a little snake drill around the screen, I don't think it's a big deal, what is the difference between this and a TV? ”

Watson almost didn't have a mouthful of old blood sprayed on the screen, and he pointed at Niu Xiaoqiang's nose bone angrily: "You-you-hmph! You don't know how difficult this is, that's why you say this, to tell you the truth, TV and computer are fundamentally two different concepts! Television is transmitted through radio signals, and the pre-shot image is projected onto the screen, but the computer is different, its essence is zero and one, and it completely relies on these two numbers to achieve image processing!" It was only with the numbers zero and one that this snake was finally created, which is a groundbreaking thing. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang corrected his attitude a little: "You mean to say that this snake is not actually a snake, it is essentially composed of two numbers, zero and one?"

Watson raised his chin: "Yes, zero and one is the essential language of computers, through their arrangement, computer programs are created, and then through the programming of programs, this little snake that can move is finally created." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang was curious: "How did you turn the zero-sum one into this snake through the arrangement?"

Watson tapped the keyboard, and the snake vanished, replaced by letters and symbols. The letters and symbols look jumbled, much like they were written by someone who didn't graduate from elementary school. Niu Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment before asking, "Could it be that this is the snake just now?"

"Well, look at it again. ”

Watson clicked the keyboard again, and the screen suddenly changed, the original letters and symbols disappeared, and the dense numbers 0 and 1 appeared.

Watson didn't speak, and continued to type on the keyboard, and the screen was a snake for a while, letters and symbols for a while, and 0 and 1 for a while, and Niu Xiaoqiang's eyes were dazzled.

When Niu Xiaoqiang rubbed his eyes, Watson stopped operating, and he said: "The three interfaces you saw just now are actually the same thing, that is, the dynamic graphics processing technology I developed, don't underestimate this technology, it is very promising, I have applied for a patent, and many computer companies have found me and want to buy this patented technology from me, do you know how much the highest price is?"

Watson knew Niu Xiaoqiang very well and knew that this kid was a very money-loving person, so in order to make Niu Xiaoqiang interested in the subject of computer science, he used money as bait again.

Niu Xiaoqiang really became interested, and asked curiously, "How much is the highest price?"

Watson held up a finger and said proudly, "A million dollars." ”

"Bang-"

Niu Xiaoqiang was shocked and accidentally hit the teacup on the table to the ground, but fortunately, the carpet was laid on the ground, and the teacup was not broken. He picked up the teacup and asked with a shocked look on his face, "Are you sure you're not talking big?"

Watson became more and more proud: "As a well-known professor at MIT, my character is still trustworthy, how could I lie to you?"
