Chapter 744: Personal Computer
For Heinrich, this was an unforgettable day for him, he was the first to set foot on the soil of East Germany, the first to enter the electronic store here, and the first to feel the technical performance of civilian products on the East German market, far exceeding that of West Germany!
Of course, he would not have known, this is the result of a Soviet copycat, after completing the mapping of the 80286, the imitation of the ES-1842S, mass-produced in Moscow, with the support of the high-level, Soviet personal computers, is also progressing rapidly.

And the CPU produced in Moscow was shipped to East Germany, and the factory in East Germany produced other circuit boards and other components, which made up this latest computer! The most powerful PC in the world!
In addition to that, there is another innovative thing, which is the rat-like thing next to it.
There were quite a few people in this store, some East German civilians, who were shopping for computers, so Heinrich just stood by and listened to the introduction.
"Yes, this is our latest computer, in addition to the configuration, the operating system is also the latest, the previous operating system, are all letter interfaces, and our computer, is a graphical interface, which is also a trend in the future."
With that, the clerk turned on the computer, and after the lines of black letters jumped through, finally, a window popped up on the screen!
In the middle of the screen, an arrow appeared, and the clerk held the mouse-like thing with his hand, and the arrow moved on the screen, and then, when he heard two clicks, one of the icons in the arrow people was opened.
"This kind of interface is more conducive to intuitive operation of the computer, which is also the latest development trend, in the future, it will definitely be a graphical interface, so although the price of this computer is a little high, but in the long run, it is still cost-effective." The clerk introduced.
Graphical interface, operate with that cursor! Heinrich was dumbfounded, he was in West Germany, although he was a skilled worker, he had also seen others operate computers, all on the keyboard, I didn't expect that there was such an advanced way!
In history, it was not until '84 that Apple successfully launched the Macintosh computer. It was the first PC to be operated with a graphical interface and a mouse. The mouse was also invented at this time and has been an important input tool ever since. At the same time, Macintosh centralizes the monitor, console, floppy drive, etc. into one box, making it look simple and stylish. Macintosh came to be known as Mac and became one of Apple's most important brands.
It wasn't until November '85 that Microsoft released its operating system, adopting a graphical interface and multitasking for the first time. Although Microsoft lagged behind Apple at the time in terms of technology and innovation, Microsoft's operating system quickly took over the market due to the rapid development of the ibmpc cloning machine. The success of Windows also led to Microsoft's rapid launch in March 1986.
And now, for the first time in the history of these personal computers, it is not their turn, although Andrei focuses on the military, but from time to time, he will also pay attention to the development of the domestic microelectronics industry, and these mice, graphical interfaces, are proposed by Andrey, needless to say, the most important Internet, has also completed the preliminary protocol development in the Soviet Union, laboratory testing, and the final networking is left!
In terms of personal computers and networks, the USSR has far surpassed the Western world! And all this is thanks to Andrey! At the beginning, after the Soviet Union conquered the island country, the biggest gain was the electronics industry of the island country! In this regard, the island nation is even more advanced than the United States! For example, in the military field, relying on the electronic technology of the island countries, the Soviet Union has completed the research and development of active phased array radar, and until now, the United States has not overcome the technical difficulties.
As for the civilian aspect, the Soviet Union has been even more vigorously developed, and personal computers, game consoles, walkmans and so on, have always been at the forefront of the world. Although the Soviet Union is still a little backward in the research and development of the CPU, and now it is starting by cloning, but the positive research and development of the Soviet Union is also steadily unfolding, and in the era of 386,486, the Soviet Union will be able to complete the positive research and development, surpassing Intel Corporation, a private company, and a company controlled by state capital, the research and development efficiency is of course different.
As for the so-called licensing of patent fees and so on, the Soviet Union did not care about this, anyway, these things produced in the Soviet Union are currently only sold in the areas controlled by the Soviet Union, and after that, as for now, if the Soviet Union sells them to the West Germans, and the West Germans bring back West Germany, then it has nothing to do with the Soviet Union.
"Mom, I need this computer, we learn to program, the more powerful the computer, the faster we can program. In our graduate school, there are already people using such computers. At this time, the customer spoke, it was a woman in her twenties, and next to her, a middle-aged woman in her forties, obviously still hesitating.
"The price of a new computer is higher, this computer costs two thousand marks, which is a bit expensive, if you feel that you can't accept it, you can wait for three months, and the price should be reduced by two or three hundred marks." "At the same time, you can also look at the side, last year's configuration, we only sold 1,500 marks," the sales said. ”
It's not expensive, it's so cheap! The performance is stronger than that of West Germany, but the price is much lower! Heinrich couldn't help but blurt out: "It's really worth the money, I didn't bring enough money today, can I use sixty marks as a deposit first?" I'll bring the full amount tomorrow. ”
Thinking about the situation in the Walkman's store just now, Heinrich can imagine that if he didn't make a deposit, I'm afraid that all the computers here would be sold out today. The era of the future is the era of computers! Without a computer, you can't master the skills you need in the future!
"Yes." The clerk looked at Heinrich in surprise, and when he took the money from Heinrich's hand, he was stunned: "This is a mark issued by West Germany?" ”
"Yes, I just came from West Germany." Heinrich tried his best to calm his voice, urging in his heart, Mademoiselle, hurry up and issue a receipt!
"Heinrich?" At this moment, a middle-aged woman who had just bought a computer next to him asked him in a surprised and hesitant voice.
This voice was so familiar, Heinrich looked at the middle-aged woman, although her face was a little fat, but she could still see the old appearance.
"Hannah?" Heinrich's mouth called out this name, which he had called out countless times in his dreams. I really didn't expect to see my relatives here who I have been thinking about for more than 20 years. (To be continued.) )
