Rebirth in America

On June 7, 1960, after four years of ups and downs, on the occasion of the 46th anniversary of Watson's founding of the company, IBM's "big gamble" of 5 billion yuan won it the Dragon Tu series of computers.

IBM Tulong series, a total of 6 models of large, medium and small computers and 44 new types of supporting equipment, are neatly arranged in the large hall. IBM's Dragon-Slaying System not only has the most advanced computer functions and the fastest computer computing speed, but is also compatible with computers developed by IBM in the past. From the 360/51 minicomputer with weaker functions to the 360/91 mainframe with 500 times more functions than the 51 model, they are all "compatible machines".

They are perfectly compatible with the latest Tulong series computers, retaining past functions, and at the same time user data can be queried, modified and used.

Countries in this era pay as much attention to computers as they do to nuclear bombs, because every time computers develop greatly, they are accompanied by an increase in the research progress of various technologies. The U.S. government regards computers as matters related to national security and strictly prohibits the export of supercomputers to hostile countries.

After the launch of the Cray i, many people believed that if you wanted to surpass the computer developed by cpt, you would have to wait at least ten years.

Alex originally thought so. His appearance has brought great changes to computers, at least increasing the speed of supercomputers to the level of the early 1970s.

Unexpectedly, IBM, under such great stimulation, dared to make a desperate move and invested a huge amount of US$5 billion to develop the Dragon Slayer series, which suddenly set a new record for the computing speed of supercomputers.

Although it is only 20% faster than the Cray I, it is already very amazing!

The launch of the IBM Dragon Tu series of computers immediately caused a sensation around the world. The scientific community is abuzz. The computer world is going crazy! From the United States to the Soviet Union, from the American continent to the Eurasian continent, this news set off a huge computer storm around the world!

The computer most affected by the storm so far is the Cray I computer. Originally it was the fastest supercomputer in the world, but now it can only rank second. The storm caused by IBM also caused the company CPT to lose a lot of users. Companies that originally planned to purchase Cray I computers also stopped placing orders and turned to IBM to ask how to sell the Dragon Slayer series of computers.

After all, the Tulong series is compatible with computers previously produced by IBM, and many companies have been their users. If you buy the Tulong series computers back, you can immediately rejuvenate the computers that were originally intended to be eliminated.

These are not the biggest losses for CPT. What is even more terrible is that the government department transferred all the orders originally intended for CPT to IBM. From this we can see how much influence the Watson family has in the government and how deep their connections are. It can even influence some decisions.

Little Watson was naturally very proud of this. When he faced Alex and IBM faced CPT, he suffered repeated defeats. It was at his insistence. After investing a huge investment of 5 billion to develop the so-called Dragon Slaying series of computers, IBM finally succeeded in severely damaging the giant dragon of CPT after 4 years.

"As long as we work harder, we can make the Dragon Slaying series achieve its reputation of dragon slaying!" Whenever little Watson thinks about this, he can't help but want to knock the CPT company to the ground immediately. Then step on a few more feet.

The birth of the Tulong series of computers symbolizes the coming of a new era. The IBM Tulong computer marks the official entry of the third generation of computers onto the stage of history. To celebrate its birth, IBM held press conferences in 63 cities in the United States and 14 countries. Nearly ten thousand people from all over the world attended the event.

in New York. Watson Jr. personally rented a special train and led more than 200 reporters to IBM's laboratory in Poughkeepsie. He solemnly announced to the world: "This is the most important epoch-making product since the establishment of our company."

At this time, anyone who knows a little bit about computers knows that cpt's leading position is still in jeopardy. If they don't come up with products that surpass IBM computers, I'm afraid that within a year or two, their dominance in the computer market will change hands.

Under normal circumstances, the Carpenter family may be able to cope with IBM's offensive, but now they are like a leaky boat. Even if they gamble on a hole there, they will break several holes here. .

When Alex learned about the release of IBM's latest computer, he rushed to the Computer Research Institute of CPT Company, found Seymour Clay, a computer expert, and asked quickly: "When will our computer be completed?"

Of course Seymour knew why Alex was anxious. He thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it will take another year or two!"

Hearing this answer, Alex shook his head repeatedly: "It's too late! We must speed up the progress."

As he spoke, he patted Seymour on the shoulder, and then found a way to copy Seymour's memory information to the space. From the Seymour doll, he learned that Seymour was already pressed for time. Even if Alex was asked to do it by himself, it would probably take half a year to a year.

It's just that Alex can't devote all his energy to computer research and development now. He still has many things to do, and there are many companies outside waiting for him to solve problems.

"It seems that the other party is attacking at the same time, and they also want to make it difficult for me to take care of all the companies," Alex thought to himself: "We must find a way to break the situation!"

Before he could come up with a reliable solution, bad news came from the cpt company.

"Carpenter radios can no longer be sold!" Lao Qiao, the person in charge of CPT Company, found Alex and explained the ins and outs of the matter.

It turns out that IBM and General Electric jointly developed a better radio. This radio is smaller, more convenient, and cheaper than the "Carpenter" radio!

Yes, cheaper! They plan to make small profits but quick turnover and suppress the radios produced by cpt company. Not only that, it is said that they are also preparing to enter other electrical appliance markets, such as water heaters, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc.

However, the more important thing is the radio. Don't underestimate such a small radio. In this era, people who don’t have a Walkman want to listen to music at any time. Just buy a portable radio.

Water heaters, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc. are all electronic products that only middle-class families can afford. The radio is truly an electronic product that everyone has. The cost is not high, the price is not expensive, and the profit is very large.

The radio invented by Alex was named the "Carpenter" radio. It's very loud and easy to remember, and it was sold out as soon as it came on the market. Carpenter Electronics' production capacity increased again and again, and finally it was unable to meet the huge demand, so they had to license other companies to manufacture such radios.

Other tube radio manufacturers had lost most of their market share to "Carpenter" radios, and they tried to develop transistor radios as well. It turns out that Alex’s patent barriers need to be faced.

At first, they planned to circumvent these patents, but there was no way to circumvent them anyway, so they wanted to obtain authorization. Alex paid no attention.

These manufacturers were forced into desperation. Some manufacturers could only bite the bullet and research new radios, while some manufacturers had to surrender to Carpenter Electronics and become manufacturers of "Carpenter" radios.

Finally, one of the companies, Philips, finally produced a transistor radio in 1957. However, because it does not use integrated circuit board technology, the cost is relatively high, the size is too large, and the performance is poor.

For a full 10 years, "Carpenter" radios occupied more than 90% of the market share. This small radio brought unimaginable profits to the Carpenter family.

Only the first year. Carpenter Electronics sold 1 million radios, earning the Carpenters millions of dollars in profits. If there were no production capacity constraints, it is estimated that several million units could be sold.

After earning a huge income, Bart invested the money in the research department and improved air conditioners, refrigerators, televisions, etc. At Alex's suggestion, the first thing they changed was to apply integrated circuit boards and transistors to electrical appliances. With these two killer weapons, even without Alex, those researchers can make these appliances smaller and cheaper.

Since then, in addition to radios, Carpenter Electronics has also made profits on products such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and televisions. Gradually, Carpenter Electronics grew, and Bart grew with the company.

What can be said is that without "Carpenter" radio, there would be no cpt company. There will be no later supercomputers or other electrical products.

Radios have always been the foundation of cpt company. Even if other electronic products cannot make money, they can still make huge profits in the radio market.

Now that IBM and General Electric are doing this, it is equivalent to hollowing out the foundation of CPT, just like the Rockefeller consortium trying to take away Hughes Tool Company from Hughes.

"It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others!"

After knowing the news, even Bart Carpenter, who had always been carefree, couldn't sit still. He hurried over to discuss countermeasures with Alex. In his view, the Carpenter family's first pot of gold came from the record company, and the real fortune started with cpt, and cpt must not make any mistakes.

"Alex, can you think of a way to make a more advanced radio? If you compare all their radios, you must not give up the radio market!"

After listening to his father Bart's request, Alex had no choice but to smile bitterly: "How can things be so simple! If I had time, I might be able to concentrate on inventing. But now that people are attacking on all fronts, how can I be allowed to do it? Can’t the research office concentrate on research and development?”

In fact, it was quite easy to deal with such a thing, but too many things happened, so that Alex was like a firefighter putting out fires everywhere. In normal times, even if he doesn't do it himself, he only needs to give a direction and ideas and let the R\u0026D personnel below work on it slowly.

If you still want to do it slowly now, I'm afraid it will be over! With such a huge momentum created, the Carpenter family will not be given time to slowly recover.

Is it really necessary, as Hughes said, to kowtow to the Freemasons and admit their mistakes, and then respectfully hand over the secrets obtained from Tesla's manuscripts?

"No! This must not be done!"

As soon as Alex had such an idea, he immediately nipped it in the bud. He would never give in to those self-righteous people.

"Want to fuck me? Then come and try it!"

Although people who know about Freemasonry or Illuminati are awesome. I just put out my little finger to test and see what strength the Carpenter family has. It's not time to break up, maybe it's just a whim. I don't take this matter as a big deal.

But for Alex and the Carpenter family, this is already a matter of life and death. Accidentally. More than ten years of family accumulation will be destroyed.

Perhaps in the end, some family assets can be left behind, and the Carpenter family can still rely on the company and its cooperation with the Hughes Group to start off. But this result was not what Alex wanted.

What's more, they haven't deployed extraordinary forces yet. Everything is done in accordance with the secular rules, in a clear and fair manner. Even Hughes, an insider, can't interfere. In addition, Hughes himself has a lot of troubles. The overt and covert fighting between his Hughes Group and the Rockefeller Group has never stopped. If he loses the fight, he can't blame others.

"We must build our own super team!" Alex thought silently, and an idea slowly came to his mind.

Yes. If you want to join the so-called circle at the top of the pyramid, you must have your own strength.

Hughes has his super-powered troops. The last time Alex went to the base, he used spiritual witchcraft to conduct reconnaissance.

At that time, he could feel a lot of mental fluctuations coming back. If he hadn't shrunk so fast, he would have collided with the opponent on a spiritual level.

Alex has always looked at the world through the eyes of ordinary people. I think I just need to abide by the law, be honest, and be an honest billionaire. You can live a peaceful and comfortable life.

Unfortunately, his idea was too naive!

If a wealthy family like the Rockefeller family didn't have their own dead men or the power they controlled, how could they have so much wealth and spend every day peacefully and happily? This is completely impossible!

The U.S. government’s own armed forces are not weak, and its navy, land and air forces are the most powerful in the world. Is there not an ambitious military madman emerging? Although it is said that money brings power and everything in the United States, but once such a person comes to power and sees those billionaires who have no ability to protect themselves, what is the first thought that comes to their minds?

I must be thinking, why should I listen to you if you have money? I have a gun in my hand!

Until now, nothing like this has happened, which illustrates a problem. The forces at the top of the so-called pyramid are definitely not simple. They not only have money in their hands, but also force!

Hughes once said that power can be money, knowledge, reputation and connections! But there is one thing he has not mentioned, and that is his own force! This is a power that can destroy everything and kill enemies!

Now, in addition to money, the Carpenter family also has some military force, which is the so-called security guards and bodyguards. But these people are not loyal enough to the Carpenter family. What they are loyal to is money. Once the money is gone, they will also leave.

More importantly, they are all conventional forces and have no supernormal abilities. It is difficult to deal with killers like Kane.

If Alex had never encountered a kidnapping case or experienced wandering in the wilderness, he might have continued to pretend that he did not know about the existence of organizations such as the Freemasons and the Illuminati in order to live a comfortable life in the next life. Just dawdle within the defined limits and you'll be fine.

"But I am the man who wants to be the king of the world! Bastard!" Alex said secretly: "This world is so boring, I am so boring! How can I let you go on like this? The world must have something Just change!”

Of course, the above are just Alex's idle and random thoughts, but he does not have a good impression of those so-called human masters. As the inheritor of ancient civilization, he failed to fulfill his responsibilities and only focused on maintaining his dominance. Make this world a mess. Thousands of years have passed before human civilization on earth has developed to this level again. It is really disappointing.
