Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids
Chapter 408: First-Generation Computer
After speaking, Li Yuanfang lowered his head to eat, staying silent and trying to lower his presence.
Even Li Yuanfang’s wife looked helpless.
After just asking your sister for help and adding Mo Jingchun on WeChat, is it really appropriate to stab someone in the back like this?
Really thick-skinned.
She silently mourned for her husband for three seconds, waiting for the day when her sister would come knocking for a fight.
By then, the only thing she might be able to do is close the soundproof door of the office after her sister walks in.
The old man chewed his rice more slowly, clearly a bit tempted.
And it goes without saying about Li Yuanfang’s parents, their eyes were glowing!
For the sake of their daughter, the couple was already worried sick.
The key point is, they had some understanding of Mo Jingchun, and Candy Technology was skyrocketing in fame!
What’s more, this Internet technology company, Candy Technology, has been maintaining deep cooperation with the military.
And if this marriage really happens, there’s no need to worry about issues between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Although the thought might be hurtful, the fact is just like that.
For a moment, the couple had mixed feelings again.
How come their daughter seemed not good enough for Mo Jingchun when compared?
Just then, the old man shook his head, sighed, and said:
"The age difference between them is really a lot."
Li Yuanfang, who was still silent, chimed in:
"Older women can bring more gold."
"It’s just a matter of two stacks of gold bars."
Xue reached out and twisted Li Yuanfang, making him inhale sharply in pain.
"Dad, I’ll call Nana in a bit to ask."
The old man ate his rice without saying anything, which was a tacit agreement.
There was nothing he could do, as he was also worried about his granddaughter who hadn’t married yet.
He felt less confident when speaking in front of other old fellows.
After dinner, Li Yuanfang dragged his wife and ran away.
But Li Yuanfang ultimately underestimated his sister’s fighting prowess.
At night, just as Li Yuanfang was yawning and preparing to go to bed, he heard the sound of the door opening.
It couldn’t possibly be a thief.
Seeing the figure from the second-floor view, Li Yuanfang spat out a traditional curse.
"Darn!"
Li Na, who just walked in through the door on the first floor, looked up at the sound and sneered coldly.
"Go on, try running, I want to see where you’ll run to."
"Xue, help!"
One of Li Yuanfang’s slippers was kicked off as he sprinted to the bedroom at top speed.
Sitting on the bed and quietly reading, Xue looked up helplessly and said:
"You dug your own grave, and now you’re scared?"
"Don’t even think about closing the door, I don’t want to spend money on repairs."
Locking the door wouldn’t help; knowing his sister, she would definitely call a locksmith.
"Li Yuanfang, come meet your end!"
The voice rang before the person arrived!
Li Yuanfang’s scalp tingled, his hair standing on end.
The tigress was here, how could he not be terrified?
Standing at the bedroom door, Li Na patted a piece of wood she’d scavenged from the trash can downstairs, sneering coldly:
"Alright, you’ve got guts now, huh."
"Even learned to arrange blind dates for your sister!"
"Li Yuanfang, you’re something else, really amazing!"
"Heh heh, older women bring more gold, you learned well."
With a snap, accompanied by Li Yuanfang’s scream, the stick smacked his leg.
"I just helped you this morning, and this is how you pay me back at night?"
"Hmm?"
After a round of beating, Li Yuanfang lay laughing on the bed despite his pain.
Applying ointment, Xue rolled her eyes and said:
"You can still laugh about it."
Don’t ask why there’s ointment for bruises at home; it’s a household necessity.
"Ahh~ What do you know, my plan has already succeeded."
"Isn’t it just a little beating?"
"For my sister’s lifelong happiness, it’s worth it."
"Hmph, do you dare say sis wasn’t interested? If she wasn’t, would she drive all the way from school late at night to beat me up?"
"It’s just that she can’t swallow her pride; there’s a six-year age gap after all!"
Listening to the man, Xue thought it made a lot of sense. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
But is it really like that?
Why does it still feel a bit off?
"Ow~ Are you trying to finish off your husband?"
Xue naturally wouldn’t admit that she was distracted just now and didn’t pay attention to the pressure.
"Say one more word and you can apply the medicine yourself."
That afternoon, Mo Jingchun, who had taken a nap, saw that it was only one o’clock and, with nothing to do, went back to sleep.
Recently, Na also didn’t seem to know what wind blew, sending WeChat messages every day.
Within the Candy Technology Laboratory Building, ever since the Energy Research Lab made a name for itself by developing the low-cost graphene battery, all the pressure instantly transferred to the other labs.
Even though in research and development, not making much progress for years is quite normal, given there was a precedent, how could the researchers in the other labs not feel anxious?
Not to mention, if the company’s labs needed downsizing, the Energy Research Lab, already having produced a result, certainly wouldn’t be up for consideration.
While the projects consistently losing money and unprofitable would naturally be prioritized for layoffs.
That’s an unquestionable fact.
But there was one lab inside that was an exception.
"Hold the voltage steady!"
In a lab over three hundred square meters, thirty-three researchers, whose average age was less than thirty-five, focused intently on a massive apparatus in the lab’s center.
The giant machine before them occupied eight square meters and weighed over a ton.
Exposed components made it hard to imagine that in the 21st century, this thing was a computer.
Everyone’s palms were sweating nervously.
One second, two seconds, three seconds! Finally, when everyone counted to three in their hearts, the LCD monitor lit up!
Lines of code began to scroll.
Until the cursor kept flashing and the code stopped running.
"Perform a simple logic calculation test."
Using the keyboard, a researcher typed the command to calculate 1+1= on the command line.
The crisp, pleasant sound of the keyboard’s Enter key heightened everyone’s tension.
With a swoosh, the result appeared.
A simple character, "2."
Instantly, everyone hugged each other excitedly, moved to tears.
The boss didn’t lie to them!
A ternary computer could indeed be achieved!
Even though the current prototype seemed backward, all the researchers in the lab believed it wouldn’t take long before ternary computers could quickly evolve and upgrade.
The principle was established; the next work was nothing but miniaturization and enhancing computational power!
Next, they tried various computations, with someone even boldly suggesting calculating pi to test the peak computational power of the first-generation ternary computer.
Obviously, such a daring act was mercilessly rejected by others.
Are you kidding? The boss hasn’t even seen this yet. If the prototype gets busted now, who would they explain it to?
"Don’t shut it down; who can guarantee it’ll boot up again after shutdown?"
Just then, everyone’s smile froze.
