Chapter 1361: Half of Loess
"Have the FBI people withdrawn?" After sending Aiden to the plane, Li Zitao turned back to the car and drove towards Wells Fargo Bank again.
Just after the new year, Aiden is going across the ocean to London.
However, this is good news for him, which means that he has plenty of private time and can meet Lilith and Mason.
‘London pubs aren’t really as boring as he said, are they? ’ That was the only thing Aiden worried about. But he also heard that the clubs in London are colorful and full of tricks. Compared with the straightforward and rough ones in New York, there are more artistic elements in them, which makes people yearn for...
In any case, he had already spoken to Mason.
If he bored himself in London, Elizabeth's... he wished for luck! What he will say when the time comes, even he himself is not sure... Being single is so self-willed!
After watching the scenery outside the window for a while, Aiden felt a little bored, so he asked the stewardess for a blindfold, leaned his head back and closed his eyes to rest.
Compared with luxury cruise ships, the facilities on the plane are too simple.
At this time, Aiden never imagined that Lilith had already prepared surprises waiting for him before the journey started.
The people from the FBI haven't withdrawn yet, but they are much friendlier than before. The current FBI is more like the gatekeeper of the 'advanced planning laboratory', and they have to be inspected by it every day when they enter and exit, and there are more procedures for security checks in all aspects.
At the same time, inside the National Defense Building, a brand-new military version of the large-scale computer is being assembled and rebuilt, and 20 kilometers to the east are restricted and the line is laid.
For this reason, the Ministry of Defense spent tens of millions of dollars. The computer is not expensive, the lines are expensive, and the construction and maintenance of the lines are even more expensive.
The economic benefits brought about by the success of the "Advanced Planning Laboratory" are terrifying, and the entire IBM is shaken by this, and uncharacteristically expressed its full support for P-T-PNS.
Although an afterthought is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow, it can also reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Organize the data for one day like last time, just to convince the board of directors, I believe there will be no more before new changes appear.
The terrifying gold-absorbing ability is shocking, but it also comes with various restrictions.
After all, not every military station needs a large computer, and Washington is not yet that luxurious.
Except for the one currently being erected for the Ministry of Defense, the rest of the addresses in Washington are being carefully selected, and military expenditures also need to be fully considered.
Because of the cloud of the Cold War and the situation on the peninsula, Congress has been a little more generous with military spending, but it is only "slightly..."
There are too many places where money is needed, such as maintenance and repair of warships, new equipment, material transformation, new generation of fighters, tanks, vehicles, etc.
Recruiting recruits and retiring veterans requires a lot of money.
Because the trouble caused by the veteran's pension is not once or twice, neither Washington nor the military are fed up with this situation.
Therefore, they hope that in addition to ensuring the necessary armaments, they can solve the problem of pensions as limited as possible, instead of using tanks to 'press meat pies in front of Washington. '
The impact of this scandal has lasted for more than 20 years, and it has not weakened until now. From time to time, it will be brought out to stir up trouble.
The effect is always destructive. Soldiers who have devoted half their lives to the country are so embarrassed that they cannot make ends meet after retiring from the army, and are finally persecuted by the state...
Even if this topic passes another century, it will not be outdated.
"So, is IBM a contractor now?" Lawrence, Jonathan and Li Zitao got together again after the Fuguo meeting.
Knowing the current situation of IBM, the two of them are obviously very interested, and they admire his ability to create miracles even more.
Who would have thought that a computer and punching company would turn into a special contractor for the military.
Just the orders that have been finalized so far have a profit of more than 20 million yuan, and this is just the beginning.
"This is just the beginning." Li Zitao is very clear about how crazy the future world will be.
And what kind of financial monsters will the computer industry create?
It simply swept across the universe.
If the "space prison" had WIFI, I believe many people would be happy to be exiled.
Take care of food and shelter, watch the bright galaxy when you wake up, swipe your mobile phone, and even connect with you when you have nothing to do.
"It is said that mainframes are difficult to make further progress, and it will take more than ten years or more to compress them, and popularization is even far away. What do you think?"
Lawrence was born with a dog nose, and he could smell the slightest smell of meat.
Although the outside world's attitude towards IBM is that it is exaggerated to the sky and trampled on the ground, but he still believes that this industry will develop.
Just like the original television, it has begun to enter the homes of American people.
Popularity may be far away, but the current profits are enough to make people tempted.
"I don't know... It may be a few years, a dozen years, or the next century. It is very possible. It depends on the speed of scientific progress, not what I have to say."
Although Li Zitao is clear about the future of the computer industry, in his memory, it should be in the 1980s to 1990s when it really started to become popular.
Whether it will speed up now or slow down due to certain changes, no one can predict, all he can do is to give enough support.
From his rebirth to today, he has quit the Internet for nearly 20 years, which is unbelievable when you think about it.
For someone who is in front of a computer 18 hours a day, this is truly a miracle.
But the attachment to the Internet world comes from the bottom of his heart, otherwise Li Zitao would not have insisted on developing the prototype of the Internet in this era.
Success or failure is another matter. Anyway, the seeds are planted, and sooner or later they will bear fruit.
He really doesn't believe that the era of having his own support network will come later than in his previous life, if that's the case, he will bear it, anyway, IBM will definitely make a lot of money.
Just ask, who in this world is more forward-looking than him, "Half a century in advance... the abyss can be seen through it." '
Lawrence was not satisfied with his answer, sometimes frowned, sometimes relieved, and seemed to be a little vacillating.
Jonathan, on the other hand, was careless, seemingly indifferent, but in fact...he really didn't care.
What new industry, new era, it is too troublesome for him to think about these.
Hotels and real estate, these two things are enough for the Astor family to eat and drink, and stand tall among the prominent American families.
In the future, as long as there are real estate projects, he will definitely intervene. As for the rest, let them do it for those who like to use their brains. It's time for him to relax and enjoy life.
In the blink of an eye, half of his body was almost buried in the soil.
