The Goddess Shines on America

The person who came was a young man in a suit and leather shoes, probably in his early thirties, followed by a neatly dressed and beautiful woman, who should obviously be his wife.

Alice was surprised: "Uh... so to speak, who are you?"

The man smiled politely: "Excuse me, my name is Leonardo Bosack, and this is my wife, Santi. We work in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University, and I happen to understand some of what you just said. Ah, Yes, sorry for eavesdropping on the conversation between the two of you, but boy, did you just say... an operating system?"

Although the other party made a self-introduction, Alice was still a little dazed. She had just talked about the future with her younger brother, talking about computers, and a couple of Stanford computer teachers immediately appeared? Could there be a more coincidental situation than this?

Wait, what are their names?

Which university are they teachers from?

Suddenly, a full hydrogen balloon popped up in Alice's heart.

If God could give herself a chance to be alone immediately, Alice would have to shout to the sky now, yelling and screaming.

It really feels like a dog.

Cisco Systems, Inc.

Rising following the trend of global Internet development, this company can be said to occupy all the timing, location and harmony of people, and it is a legendary enterprise!

It is precisely because it has such remarkable achievements that after suddenly wanting to find something to do for herself recently, Alice focused her thoughts on this field immediately. After all, idleness is idleness, and compared to making an operating system like Oscar's obsession, the difficulty of making a router is still very low.

It's just that I didn't expect that I just made a related product last night, and now I encounter...

Who are these two people?

Could it be the legendary founder?

It shouldn't be so bloody, right?

Although I really don't know the founder of Cisco, and I'm not even sure when the company was established, I can't visit with the same longing for Bill Gates...

But there's no need to arrange for yourself to run into each other in a coffee shop, right?

God, that's really...

"Oh, that's just Oscar talking casually."

Can't wait, Alice hastened to seat the couple, and it happened that the coffee table was prepared for four people: "I have both IBM and Apple computers at home, and I'm good at this field, so just now my brother joked, saying I'm planning to develop a computer operating system myself~"

Sandy wore a beige windbreaker, put the leather bag on her knees, and said with great interest: "Buy two personal computers? Oh my god, what a luxury. Although computers have become miniaturized now, the price is quite high." Well, and Apple II computers are much more expensive than IBM products. Could it be that your parents are computer enthusiasts?"

"They're not, my sister is."

Oscar interrupted suddenly: "When IBM first released the first personal computer, Alice immediately pestered my parents to buy it. Then... Anyway, she can see everything I do with the computer. I know, I almost don't understand what she typed into that DOS system!"

Alice silently touched her nose, noncommittal about Oscar's emotion. For her, playing with the DOS system is of course not a problem. Not to mention that she has learned more advanced languages ​​such as C+ in her previous life, there are also Basic language teaching books on the market today. Therefore, she doesn't have to be afraid of being too noticeable in this regard.

"Things you don't understand... kid, you know how to program!?"

As an expert, Posak immediately realized what Oscar meant, and looked at Alice in extreme surprise: "Have you written any qualified programs? For example, an addition and subtraction calculator or something?"

Alice couldn't help snorting, what a joke in the world, did she bother to write things like addition and subtraction calculators?

"Actually, I'm currently studying a very advanced technology~"

She put her hands on the coffee table obediently, and pressed her fingers lightly on the table. The smile on her face was as bright as spring flowers blooming, not to mention the voice, which made Oscar shiver suddenly: "You guys also know just now. Well, I have two computers at home, so I'm currently figuring out how to connect them together in the cheapest way. Well, you know what I mean?"

It can be said that Alice has tried her best to present the image that a normal twelve-year-old girl should have, so that her words do not seem so shocking. After all, her pitiful age is still too young. Although Gates was not too big when he made the curriculum for his alma mater in middle school, he is still a middle school student anyway.

But even so, she still found that audiences in their thirties were stunned.

"Connect...multiple computers together?"

Leonardo Bosac looked at his wife, and Santi also looked at him with surprised eyes, and a brilliant golden light suddenly rose in the eyes of both of them.

Doesn't the little research of the girl in front of him coincide with their current topic?

Posak received a bachelor's degree as early as 1973, then worked in a computer company, and then went to Stanford University in 1979 to obtain a master's degree in computer science, and then stayed on to teach directly. It was here that he met his former graduate student, current fellow teacher, and his wife Santi.

It's just that there has been a troublesome thing bothering them since the beginning of their relationship.

Bosack was in charge of managing the computers in the computer science department at the school, while Santee was in charge of managing the computer systems in the graduate school of business. The two worked at opposite ends of Stanford University. They can send and receive email messages to each other through the school intranet, but their computers cannot be directly connected because they use different operating systems.

"Currently, the network relay used by our school network is an independent dedicated computer, not to mention the huge size, and the price is very high."

After briefly describing his situation, Posak said emotionally to Alice: "So we have been thinking about how to research a new device that connects different types of networks, and use the simplest, The cheapest way to link. If this kind of relay is really researched, I think you should be able to imagine that this will definitely usher in a revolutionary change in the development of computer networks!"

Before Alice could speak, Sandy followed up and said, "I didn't expect you to be interested in this field. By the way, we don't know yet, are you?"

"...Alice, Alice-Weiwei-Wang, my father is of Chinese descent, and my mother is of English-French descent."

Alice took a deep breath: "Then, Mr. Posak, have you developed any qualified products? Have you established a company for this?"

Just when Alice's brain was somewhat confused, after hearing her question, Posac shook his head again and again, and said with a smile: "It's not so powerful, this is not an easy job. As for the company, since our products have not yet been produced Come out, of course the company has not been established.”

Santee interjected, "But if we can actually make a device that can connect to different types of networks and that's cheap enough and small enough, it's going to be a company. After all, if this product is really If it becomes popular, it can even bring huge changes to the whole world!"

"I agree with that."

Alice is 100% sure of this. The effect of the globalized Internet on world productivity is obvious to all people in the future: "Then Mr. Posack and Mrs...."

"Just call us Leon and Sandy, Alice."

"Well, then Leon, since you are teachers of Stanford's computer science department and you happen to be researching this, I have to tell you something..."

Alice looked at her younger brother first, and as expected, Oscar was smirking "I'm already a millionaire", and was staring at herself eagerly.

After all, he was still a child, right? He had just quarreled with himself this morning, and was beaten up by a gangster. Now he seems to have forgotten everything.

Sighing in her heart, Alice looked at the curious Bosacks and smiled shyly.

"I just made a small instrument a few days ago. The functions you mentioned may have been realized!"

In the bottom of her heart, Alice no longer knew how to describe her excitement. She admitted that the reason why she made a router at this time of this year had something to do with knowing that Cisco would be established by the end of this year. She also had an idea for a long time. Now that she has made the router, shouldn't she also take some time to go to Stanford to meet the couple?

But who would have thought that God sent them to him by such a coincidence! ?

The Bosacks were completely stunned.

"You, are you kidding me?"

Santi said subconsciously: "Do you know what you're talking about? This is computer cross-network interconnection technology. As a pioneer in this field, Ige from our department has been researching with us for so long, but he has only made a semi-finished product... You actually said that you also made similar products?"

Alice blinked.

Eagle? what ig? Which Yig? Is there a Bill Gates genius?

Certainly not.

That's good, no matter who he is, he must be no threat to himself.

"Our family lives in Culver City, Mrs. Bosack, only ten minutes from this coffee shop."

Alice smiled extremely easily. After all, the facts are in front of her eyes. Although the couple are talented, they pose no threat to her at all.

"Opportunities are only reserved for those who can seize it. Even if you doubt it in your heart, can't you spare ten minutes to confirm the authenticity?"
