Chapter 144 Trial Laptops

"After I got off the boat, I headed in the direction of the sun's movement, which meant that the town of Aoshan should be in the west, and then I strayed into that village, and the direction pointed by the old man was also in line with the trajectory of the sun, so it seems that as long as I go to the west, it is possible to find the town of Aoshan. ”

Watson looked up at the sun in the sky and breathed a sigh of relief when he determined his bearings. After resting for about ten minutes, he got up and continued on his way.

The mountains and forests were full of thorns, and Watson's clothes had been cut many times, and his skin was also torn in some places, and the whole person looked quite embarrassed.

Even so, Watson didn't dare to slow down. It's a barren mountain, and if he doesn't get out of the mountains before it gets dark, he'll have to spend the night in the forest, which is not a good thing.

Watson didn't get what he wanted, and when the sun went down, he still walked through the mountains and forests, not even half of a figure in sight.

Before it was completely dark, Watson stopped his journey. He knew that it would be useless to continue walking, and it was better to find a safe place to camp while there was a little light, otherwise he would not be able to see anything clearly after dark, and it would be difficult to find a place to stay at that time.

Soon, Watson found a place he thought was safer, a crevice between the rocks, with the rocks above leading out, and people could hide under the wind and rain.

Watson had only eaten in the morning, and after a long day's journey, his stomach was already hungry. He opened his backpack to see if there was anything to eat inside. As a result, I searched for it and found nothing. The backpack contained only a camera, film and an English-Chinese dictionary, as well as a trial laptop that he had brought with him from China.

The laptop is from the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). At present, the laptop is not on the market, it is still in the research and development stage, and this trial machine is also known as the concept machine.

Manufacturers need to collect some necessary user experience when developing computer products. As a professor in the computer science department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Watson knows all aspects of computers very well, and is a very suitable experience object, so the manufacturer took the initiative to come to the door and give him a concept machine for free, wanting to get some improvement suggestions from Watson.

The laptop was bulky, but in Watson's view, it was a very groundbreaking invention. Watson, who is accustomed to using a desktop computer, was fascinated at first sight, and even came to China to carry it on his back.

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

The first is its price. When the International Business Machines Company gave Watson the laptop, they said it cost tens of thousands of dollars. Although Watson's annual salary is very high, he is still taken aback, and it is not safe to carry such high-end and expensive equipment with him.

Secondly, it is related to his trip to China. He came to inspect the students this time, and in order to let the outstanding Chinese students get in touch with the fields they need to study in the future, he felt that it was necessary to let these students know about computer science first. This can be a stimulus and can grab the best quality students.

You must know that these Chinese students are very sought-after in the top universities in the United States, and if you don't put some effort into it, you will be snatched up by other universities.

But in the current situation, whether it is a camera or a laptop, it is not worth a piece of bread. Watson didn't find food, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Who would have thought that I, Watson, would have such a day? I have 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 a day's walk today, Watson was physically exhausted and his body was very tired, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

"Smack!"

There were so many mosquitoes in the mountains that Watson was woken up by mosquitoes in less than two hours of sleep, and then fought relentlessly against them.

When the moon passed midday, Watson was so bitten that he couldn't stand it, so he had to stand up and walk back and forth. In this way, mosquitoes will not be able to land on his body, and it will naturally be impossible to bite him. Of course, he couldn't rest.

When it was dark, Watson finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he took a step down the mountain.

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

After walking for about half an hour, Watson spotted a wild peach tree. The peaches on the tree were ripe, and Watson, who was already hungry, didn't care about the dirty, picked the peaches, wiped them on his body a few times, and stuffed 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 kept walking.

An hour later, Watson panted and climbed over a mountain, and when he stood on the top of the mountain and turned his head to look around, he saw Niu Xiaoqiang walking on the mountain road with a hoe on his shoulder.

In fact, he is now very close to the town of Aoshan, only a few miles away. But he was afraid that he would get lost again, and he really wanted to find someone to determine his bearings.

Pleasantly surprised, Watson ran down the hill, but accidentally stepped on the air, rolled down the mountain, and was finally blocked by a large tree, which prevented a worse situation.

Because of this, he missed Niu Xiaoqiang.

Watson was a very determined man, and he was fed up with wandering around in the mountains, so he quickly decided that he would have to ask someone for directions no matter what.

Ten minutes after Niu Xiaoqiang left with a hoe, Watson climbed the mountain road. This is the second time he has seen the road after more than ten hours, and he can't help but feel very kind.

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

Niu Xiaoqiang had already walked into his sesame field and was wielding a hoe and hoeing grass. Every now and then, he would stop to wipe his sweat and look through the math books he had brought with him.

This college math book is mostly about calculus. Niu Xiaoqiang has basically mastered the mathematics knowledge of high school through this period of hard study, and the next step is naturally to get in touch with more advanced college mathematics knowledge.

Although calculus is very difficult, that is for other people, and it is not the case for Niu Xiaoqiang.

There is a very special thing about his brain, that is, the more he uses his brain, the smarter his brain becomes. This kind of growth is very terrifying, and even Niu Xiaoqiang doesn't know how far 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.
