Chapter 121 (1/2)

Baozixuan held a portable computer development conference on the first night of his return to MIT. Now more than two months have passed, and the computer company has finally heard good news. The world's first portable computer has been successfully developed and reached the design performance, initially meeting the demand for commercialization.

Bao Zixuan came to heiyun small processing factory. Since the successful transformation of CNC machine tools here. Black cloud computer company transformed part of this place into a laboratory. Although it is not very professional, it is enough to produce some simple parts.

Computers are the absolute high-tech products of this era, but heiyun group does not have much technical reserves. As a result, the interior of the black cloud laptop is basically purchased off the shelf parts.

Due to the good cooperative relationship with MIT, I got Intel 8086 chip in advance. The first product of this x86 family can be said to be of epoch-making significance.

The black cloud laptop uses Intel 8086 chip. Although it is only a 16 bit processor, it is stronger than the 8-bit processor of Apple's second-generation computer, but it is more than one level.

Looking at the portable computer just assembled by engineers, both modeling and configuration can be said to be the highest achievement of this era.

Bao Zixuan said to Hashimoto: ”Hashimoto, please introduce its performance.”

Hashimoto ho looked at baozixuan gratefully and was very moved. He played a coordinating role in the research and development of this computer, and the real technical breakthrough was his engineer team.

This group has gathered dozens of professional computer talents from MIT, but they are not afraid of any challenges in this world.

Hashimoto Ho: ”Your Excellency, our portable computer is 42 cm long, 26.3 cm wide, 3.6 cm thick and weighs 2.7 kg.”

”The screen is a 12.5-inch color TFT LCD. The CPU adopts Intel 8086-16 microprocessor. The floating budget speed per second is 8 times that of Apple's second-generation computer. With 1g hard disk, it can meet all commercial needs. ”

Bao Zixuan looked at the portable computer and said, ”in the future, this computer will be called a laptop. Our computers are like notebooks. They can be put in people's briefcases and can be taken out to work at any time. ”

”About this laptop, I named him phantom 1100. This is the first laptop in our phantom series. In the future, we will develop computers with more advanced performance and faster computing speed according to the functions of the chip. ”

”I always firmly believe in Moore's law. When the price remains unchanged, the number of components contained in the integrated circuit will double in about 18-24 months, and the performance will also double. In other words, the computer performance that every dollar can buy will more than double in 18-24 months. ”

”Now all manufacturers are vigorously developing integrated circuits, which may even be faster than Moore said. We should seize this opportunity to develop distinctive personal computers as soon as possible. ”

Hashimoto said: ”Mr. President, now our black cloud operating system has been integrated with laptops, but there are still some problems with your Chinese character input.”

”We are all European and American engineers here. We haven't systematically studied Chinese. The five stroke input method you said last time still can't be completed.”

After hearing this, baozixuan remembered about the spelling and input of Chinese characters. As Hashimoto said, these American engineers can't understand the breadth and depth of Chinese characters. Chinese is one of the more difficult languages and characters in the world.

The previous five stroke typing method was invented by Wang Yongmin in 1983, but now Wang Yongmin has not been in contact with personal computers. At present, it seems that we can only solve this problem ourselves.
