"I'm not familiar with this name, I'll go back and help you inquire."

Eastman said yes, and thought to himself, New Rome is going to engage in electronic information? He was the founder of Kodak and had a keen sense of business, and immediately after his resignation, he investigated the business.

And then the eggs.

Don't talk about Eastman himself, even Van Neva himself hasn't decided what the hell the hell is electronic information at this time, okay?

Yes, in 1945, in his paper "As We May Think," Vanneva proposed the concept of miniature photography and the memex memory, ushering in the era of digital computers and search engines.

But now it's 1923.

During this period, Faneva was a little fan, he studied Tesla's radio technology, and after the start of the European war, he began to study the predecessor of the submarine.

Then he slipped to Tufts University, where he didn't know what he tossed around before he came to work at MIT.

MIT's so-called School of Electronics and Information is not so much a college as a project.

This is an idea derived by MIT professors based on the radio LAN command system of PTR mercenaries in the European war.

Although these great people are not proficient in the mysteries, they are keenly aware that this kind of architecture based on radio waves has great prospects for development.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for New Rome to launch television, as well as radar.

As a result, the "strong men" of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who were bullied by Harvard and were about to be annexed, immediately decided to establish the Department of Electronic Information in order not to fall behind the times.

Then they found Vanneva, a man with a relative knowledge of radio technology and related knowledge, from a series of candidates, to serve as the dean.

Van Neva lived up to his name, and he quickly set his goals.

That is to upgrade the digital reserve function of the electronic punch card machine first!

With a keen sense of smell, he believes that no matter how much you toss, in the final analysis, you have to make a data reserve first, and then you are qualified to say anything else...

However, after Mr. Vanneva took office with great ambition, he was confused.

Because even if he sets a goal and faces countless possibilities, he still doesn't know which direction to start from.

However, this is not that the level of Van Neva is not enough.

It's because there are too many choices in front of him, but which one leads to Rome in his heart?

You must know that any progress in human civilization must go through all kinds of hardships and repeated trial and error before we can find the right direction.

The perseverance and great spirit of exploration of the heroes who lead these are by no means qualified to be "despised" by later generations of keyboard warriors.

Let's take a look at the time.

After embarking on the road of no return to electronic information, Van Neva, who is currently very confused, predicted the era of digital computers and search engines in the coming decades after he embarked on the road of no return to electronic information.

In addition, he also nurtured Shannon, the future founder of information theory, and Turman, the founder of Silicon Valley, and led a series of major military research projects such as the Manhattan Project.

And such an awesome power, now I don't know how to do the road of "electronic information".

Kodak, who plays with film, naturally doesn't understand it even more.

But this did not prevent this merchant from being wary of New Rome.

He thought about it, and simply ran to the principal's side, making it clear that Tesla might be here to poach people, and he hoped that the school would respect his funding and take a superficial stance, and that he could only cooperate with New Rome and not release people casually.

And he also named Van Neva by name.

Eastman and Stratton discussed that this would be a great time for the rise of the MIT School of Electronics and Information, and now that he knew Tesla's goals, he suggested that the president and Faneva negotiate something first.

As for his own request, he hopes that once a new product of the Institute of Electronic Information appears, if it applies to him, he will have the right of first refusal.

It can't be said that Eastman is bad, he is a businessman, and people have invested so much before, and they have to pay off.

Now from the actions of the predator of New Rome, he has discovered that although it is unknown, he has taken the initiative and brilliant opportunity, how can he miss it?

In addition, he asked the principal, Stratton, to keep it a secret.

He told them truthfully that no one could afford to mess with New Rome, and that if they knew we were targeting them, nothing good would be over!

After Eastman had arranged everything in a mess, MIT President Stratton called Vanneva the next day.

The thinking of a principal and a scientist as an administrator is clearly different.

He was closer to Eastman in his thinking.

So he approved of Eastman's actions.

So today, he talked to Van Neva about his support for the School of Electronic Information, and looked forward to Van Neva's achievements.

He then gave $200,000 to Van Neva on the spot as a research fund, and Stratton signed a retainer agreement with Van Neva.

The agreement increases Vanneva's authority and benefits, adding an additional clause that MIT's electronic information research results will first serve Kodak.

Faneva didn't think much about it, he was quite excited, and then the two of them talked about Tesla's visit.

Van Neva said he was looking forward to listening to Tesla's teachings, and he hoped that the principal would give him the opportunity to contact Tesla.

Stratton smiled: "Of course, you do have to ask the other party for advice, if you can impress him, bring the sponsorship of New Rome for the school, and even the opportunity to cooperate with ET Labs, I can give you my place." ”

Stratton, who was proficient in the means of the Emperor, did not say a word about the specific situation.

He gave favor and support, and then put forward this idea of expecting him to form a cooperation with Tesla, and Vannewa naturally preconceived to stand on MIT's side and consider it.

Fanneva really agreed, but he was worried that the other party would not look down on him.

"Mr. Van Neva, please don't look too much up to the status of the great masters of science, we recognize the greatness of magicians, but MIT is a prestigious school with a long history, how can the management put an incompetent person in the position of the leader of the great project of the future, electronic information?" ”

"We all have a hunch that in a few decades, your name will be our pride and you will be the face of MIT," he said to Van Neva. ”

Van Neva was so close to the rainbow fart that he didn't hold his breath.

After he was extremely happy, he hurried home and told his wife about the principal's courtesy.

The tech straight man thinks he's finally being taken seriously, but his wife, Linda, is confused.

Linda said: "Although the school has supported your work before, it is more on paper, and your funding application report has not been approved for three months, why do they suddenly value you so much?" ”

“。。。。。” Van Neva suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a pit.
