The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 8: , The rhythm of Cisco's establishment (1)

   "Calm down, calm down, it's just a preliminary product, in fact, you can do it after more research!"

   "Hey, drive slowly! Hey, the red light!"

  Unexpectedly, the driver of the car is Mrs. Bosak, not Mr. It's just that when Alice was sitting in the back of a Buick like Santi, she had to rush to the back of the front seat with one hand, staring at the road ahead, and shouting all the way.

"You have overtaken three cars in five seconds! Do you think you are playing Grand Theft Auto or Need Speed!? Oh don't ask me what it is, EA is still in the womb right now! No, it looks like it Established in 1982... Whoops!"

   "My home is Vinton Street in Culver City! What are you driving towards Santa Monica Expressway!? Hey, which direction did you turn to... Hey! Is this a U-turn line!?"

   When Santi realized that she was going in the opposite direction, she didn't say a word, and made a 180-degree U-turn on the double yellow line. The strong tail flick is extremely good, and she called Oscar who was also in the back row so addicted, but for Alice, she can only complain.

   Motion sickness? Not really.

   Miyoshi students obey traffic laws? There is no such thing.

   Just because the Bossacks are so excited.

   After Alice briefly described the principle of the "hand-made" finished product and the detailed experimental process, Santi couldn't help but yelled directly. She confessed on the spot that just this statement made by Alice had already solved several technical problems for her!

   It’s just that, even on the way there, the couple was so excited, that Alice couldn’t help but feel excited and depressed at the same time.

   Isn’t it just going to see a router? As for being so excited? It's not that Bill Gates went to see windows-98 developed by others!

   "...Uh, it seems to be the case."

Fortunately, just after noon at this time, the traffic volume on the street has not yet reached its peak. When the silver-gray Buick car drove a lot of wrong roads on many main lines, it finally slowly drove into a typical middle-class community. .

   The houses here are just like, each house has its own unique shape, and the boulevard is full of towering street trees. The Buick just drove in, and when an old dog walking came from the opposite side, he couldn't help slowing down.

   "Can I not get excited!?"

Santi knocked on the steering wheel in the front row with a high voice: "You are only twelve years old, Alice, twelve years old! If that machine really works, let alone what changes it can bring to the computer world, You are such a super genius! You can go to school at Stanford now!"

   "It's the third building ahead."

   Alice didn't talk any more, she had long been sitting softly against the backrest, and Oscar refused to be a guide, so she stopped the Buick in front of her house.

   "Mom? Is anyone home?"

   Just as Alice walked into the house, she heard a voice from the kitchen: "I have brought two guests here, Mom!?"

  As soon as she finished speaking, Sophie walked over from the kitchen, still holding a stack of plates in her hand.

   "Guest? What kind of guest? Ah...How are you?"

   Seeing the hostess show up, Bossak immediately stepped forward and smiled: "Hello, Ms. Wang, I am a teacher in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University, Leonardo Boss, and this is my wife Santi."

   pointed to his wife, and he said: "We met your child in a cafe, and Alice said that she made a brand-new Internet connection device. If I take the liberty to ask, is this true?"

   Sophie looked at Alice on the left, Oscar on the right, and then at the Bossacks, who were obviously reluctant to excite, and immediately understood what was going on.

   "Oh my god, that's a coincidence, you guys... met by chance in the city?"

She looked at Alice and answered the couple: "Yes, that's right. Alice is indeed working on an instrument. I don't quite understand computer matters, but she has introduced it to me a long time ago. Kind of little guy that connects multiple computers!"

   When the answer was affirmative, the Posacks naturally became more excited. Seeing this, since they all entered the house, Alice immediately led them into her bedroom. Fortunately, although she was a young girl, she didn't have many personal belongings on the surface, so there was no need to shy away when Posak walked in.

   "Oh, I can tell the difference at a glance."

As soon as she entered the room, Santi looked at Alice's bedroom cheerfully, and smiled: "Such a big bookcase, and it's...The Wealth of Nations? The Complete Works of Holmes? The Lord of the Rings trilogy? Wow, little genius. Hobbies are really different, do your classmates know it?"

   "A few people know. Oscar, turn on the computer and help me get Lisa right."

   After a simple sentence, as if by magic, from the corner of the bookcase, Alice suddenly took out a black shiny object

   Suddenly, apart from the busy Oscar, the room was completely silent.

   Presented in front of the Posacks is a dark metal shell, about the same size as a briefcase, but the weight is not the same.

   "First of all, I will introduce you to deconstruction."

   Two adults were sitting on the bed in surprise, watching Alice sitting on the chair showing her work.

   "This is the power supply. This blue interface is connected to the external connector of the network cable, and then these independent network cables are plugged into this yellow interface to connect to the corresponding interface on the computer."

   After a brief introduction to the peripherals, Alice went on to say: "It should be noted that these jacks must not be plugged in the opposite direction, otherwise there will be no effect. Well, what's the problem?"

Bosak looked at the writing desk silently. With the help of Oscar, the IBM computer was placed side by side with Apple’s "Lisa", and the machines were also turned on, with the DOS operating system and Apple’s unique graphical interface. The difference is very different.

   "Of course there are problems."

   Although he said so, the surprise in Bosak's heart is no longer easy to explain.

  Although he is a little bit mentally prepared, God, the girl in front of him is really only twelve years old!

  How to connect different types of networks, and use the simplest, efficient, and low-cost way. Just when their husband and wife, a pair of authentic Stanford teachers were still having a headache about this, and did not know how to study, this little Chinese girl made the finished product?

  Although no experiment has been carried out yet, Bossque certainly does not think that it is just an empty shell. Even if today is April 1st, this joke is a bit too low!

   "If you want it to work, it needs to be driven by software. Have you written the driver software?"

"Of course, just like this computer needs DOS, my router — yes, I named it the router — also needs an operating system. Of course, the work of perfecting the entire operating system is too complicated. I wrote a basic BIOS, and then just built a basic system platform."

Boss’s eyes lit up suddenly: “Oh my God, what I’m trying to say is BIOS, a proprietary operating system? This idea is really novel enough! But think about it, you should also make such a system. After all, every type of network has its own different standards, and you must set it up carefully when you connect it. It's not enough without a dedicated operating system!"

   Bossack is right, but the truth is far more complicated than this, and Alice knows this very well.

  Network connection is more than just plugging in the network cable.

   The most basic point, that is, the setting of the routing protocol, is already complex enough.

   Furthermore, computer software and hardware are produced separately by many manufacturers, so there is a compatibility problem here.

  In other words, why can other people's products run on your platform?

   Of course, this "why" itself is a question of commercial cooperation, that is, a matter of authorization, but after it is implemented in technology, it needs to have an operating system as a medium for detailed programming.

That is to say, whether it is a computer or a router, the operating system manufacturers of UURead www.uukahnshu.com need to publish the program interface to the society, which is the so-called open source. Only in this way can other major software and hardware manufacturers design it. Corresponding products.

   Throughout the history of later generations, the most typical and well-known representative of open source is Google's Android system. Correspondingly, the typical closed source is the Apple system. Of course, Linux is even worse.

   The simple verbal introduction has long excited the Posacks and his wife. After a brief talk, Alice actually connected the line. When she opened a programming interface lightly, Bosak dragged a stool to sit next to her, forgetting how impolite it is to make noise!

   The two adults gathered on both sides of the girl, with curious and surprised expressions, observing every step of her operation in detail.

   Oscar quietly stood in a corner, silently staring at his sister.

   "Oscar?"

At this moment, the door slowly opened, and Sophie came in with the brewed black tea. Although she liked coffee more, James was the first example. The amount of black tea in the house is almost equal to the sum of the whole street. .

   "Oh, Mom, I don't think they have time to drink yet."

   With a wry smile, he held the saucer, and Oscar squeezed his eyes at Sophie: "Three tech geeks, Alice has found the same kind!"

   Sophie looked at the three people in front of the desk, and their ears kept floating in their ears. Listening to those English words and professional vocabulary that were completely unknown, she couldn't help shaking her head.

   "Hehe, isn't it?"
