Rebirth 1999: Opening up the era of black technology

Chen Xiao returned home and opened the gift box given by Shen Wei.

Inside the gift box is a Parker pen.

In 1999, water-based pens were not yet popular. High school students used fountain pens and ballpoint pens to write, but they could only use fountain pens to answer test questions.

Most students use Hero brand pens or other brands, and few use Parker pens.

Parker is still a high-end brand in the minds of students of this age, similar to LV and Gucci in the pen industry.

There is also a note inside the gift box.

Shen Wei's delicate handwriting reads - Xiao is like ink blue and white, why be afraid of the instant youth.

This is interesting.

It can also be used to encourage Chen Xiao not to care about whether he failed the interview at Yenching University. He has the ability and a higher stage.

It can also express Shen Wei’s feelings for Chen Xiao.

As for whether it was a pun or not, it is hard for Chen Xiao to speculate too much.

There is another sentence below this layout - I will call you on time for the New Year.

After dinner in the evening, Lao Chen and his family sat in front of the TV to watch the New Year's Day party.

At eleven o'clock, Lao Chen and Lin Hui watched the party and went to bed early.

Chen Qiang won't go to work tomorrow, but he will also help Lin Hui set up a stall.

"Xiao Zi, aren't you going to sleep yet?"

Chen Qiang is quite satisfied with his son now.

Chen Xiao said: "I will watch TV for a while, you go to bed."

Lin Hui also said: "Wait for him to watch TV for a while. The third year of high school is so hard, it's good to change his mind."

Chen Qiang thought about it and said, "You should go to bed early later."

Chen Xiao said: "I'll go to bed soon."

At ten o'clock in the morning, when the time on the wall reached 00:00, the landline at home rang.

Chen Xiao answered the phone, and there was a nervous breathing on the other side.

Chen Xiao: "Hello?"

Shen Wei immediately recognized Chen Xiao's voice and whispered: "Chen Xiao, Happy New Year!"

Shen Wei's voice is small, soft and pleasant.

As soon as I heard it, I secretly stayed in the living room and made a phone call behind my parents' back.

Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Shen Wei, Happy New Year!"

During the New Year's Day, Chen Xiao did two things.

One thing is to add a website navigation page to the 11181 website page.

Nowadays, the popular shortcut links to websites such as Wangyi, Xinlang, Sohu, etc. are displayed directly on the web page to avoid users having to enter the address when accessing the website.

In 2000, there was no such thing as self-media, and netizens obtained information through these portals.

Chen Xiao also used some small tricks to allow the browser to automatically lock the homepage of 11181, so that netizens can easily click to their favorite website through the navigation page.

The second thing is to write a visual desktop for the domestic version of the "Demage" machine tool so that the machine tool can be connected to a monitor, and then improve the complex mechanical button control console so that workers can control the machine tool more skillfully and accurately.

There are CNC machine tools with monitors and simple buttons, but most of them are imported and expensive.

Chen Xiao's improvement can make ADLINK's equipment a level higher than ordinary copycat equipment, and can completely compete with foreign equipment.

The reason why Chen Xiao did this was because Zhou Linghua was feeling a little anxious now.

He had been waiting for a serious accident to happen to Zhongjing Company's equipment, but he still didn't wait.

Now that he saw Chen Xiao's improved equipment, Zhou Linghua felt relieved.

For this matter, on January 2, Zhou Linghua drove over to pick up Chen Xiao, and the two went to Wang Xiang's place to discuss how to improve production.

Wang Xiang: "The display is relatively simple. It is similar to the VCD display. We only need to add a module to the motherboard. The difficulty is the operating system."

Chen Xiao said: "In the past few days, I have written a simple operating system for CNC machine tools, and just flash it into the motherboard."

Chen Xiao began to explain in detail the design ideas of the system and show the results.

The system of CNC machine tools must be simple and clear, just tell workers what to click and what to input to control what.

After hearing Chen Xiao's design ideas, Zhou Linghua was amazed!

"This thing is good! We are in the equipment business and we know it! An excellent CNC machine tool employee is actually a skilled worker, and it takes a long time to be trained. But with visual operation, the difficulty of training workers will be greatly reduced. This type of work abroad will

The equipment is extremely expensive!”

Zhou Linghua looked at Wang Xiang and said excitedly: "Director Wang, is there no problem with your production here?"

Wang Xiang agreed and said: "The problem is not big. In fact, the main body of the device has basically not changed at all. The most difficult thing is the operating system designed by Chen Xiao. If the operating system can match it, then there will be no problem."

Zhou Linghua brought Chen Xiao a Lenovo Pentium 3 desktop computer today, which was Chen Xiao's last request.

Chen Xiao is now Zhou Linghua's God of Wealth, so Zhou Linghua certainly responds to his requests.

Zhou Linghua looked at Chen Xiao and asked, "Brother Chen, there should be no problem with you, right?"

Chen Xiao said with certainty: "I have already designed the system here. I just need to flash it into the motherboard and it will be no problem. We can build one and try it out soon."

Zhou Linghua nodded repeatedly and said: "If we can try successfully, for this batch of equipment with monitors and operating systems, Brother Chen and I will split it 28/20."

Zhou Linghua is quite clear in his heart that if this batch of equipment can be produced, it will definitely affect the pattern of the entire CNC machine tool industry.

ADLINK Equipment Company is very likely to surpass those equipment factories in the north and south and become the leader of domestic CNC machine tools. It may even have the opportunity to compete with some second-tier foreign manufacturers.

Chen Xiao and Zhou Linghua bumped their fists and said, "Deal!"

Throughout the afternoon, Chen Xiao and Wang Xiang worked together to improve the motherboard structure so that it could have system visualization functions, and then Chen Xiao flashed into the system.

After handing over the latest motherboard codenamed LH-5V2.0 to Zhou Linghua.

Chen Xiao said: "Mr. Zhou will take it back and give it a try. Just ask the technicians to replace the motherboard. These two interfaces are for connecting to the monitor and the cables are already configured."

Zhou Linghua immediately took back the latest motherboard and the cultured wires.

Five o'clock in the afternoon, Linghua Equipment Factory.

Zhou Linghua immediately asked technicians to replace the motherboard and then connected a 17-inch computer monitor from the factory.

Power on.

The machine tool started beeping.

Immediately afterwards, several large words in white letters on a blue background were displayed on the monitor - ADLINK Equipment LH-5V2.0 CNC.

Zhou Linghua's heart trembled.

After the startup interface, there is a simple and clear operation interface.

The interface contains the basic operations of various CNC machine tools. What is most incredible to the technicians is that the system can actually mobilize the operating processes and merge them together, allowing the machine tool to continuously complete a set of tasks.

Moreover, in the past, this set of tasks had to be broken down one by one, allowing workers to slowly operate them one by one.

The technicians were shocked!
