Chen Xiao returned home and opened the gift box sent by Shen Wei.

Inside the box is a Parker pen.

In 1999, water-based pens were not yet popular. High school students used fountain pens and ballpoint pens to write, but only fountain pens could be used to answer questions.

Most of the students use Hero brand pens or some miscellaneous brands, and few people use Parker.

Parker is still a high-end brand in the hearts of students of this age, similar to LV and Gucci in the pen industry.

There is also a note in the gift box.

Shen Wei's delicate handwriting reads - as small as ink and blue and white, why fear the moment of youth.

This is interesting.

It can be said to encourage Chen Xiao not to care if he has not passed the interview at Yenching University, he has this ability and a higher stage.

It can also express Shen Wei's feelings for Chen Xiao.

As for whether it is a pun or not, this Chen Xiao should not speculate too much.

There is one more sentence below this typography - I'll call you in time for the new year.

After dinner in the evening, the old Chen family sat in front of the TV watching the New Year's Day party.

At eleven o'clock, Lao Chen and Lin Hui went to bed early after watching the party.

Chen Qiang will not go to work tomorrow, but he will also help Lin Hui to set up a stall.

"Xiao Zi, are you still not sleeping?"

Chen Qiang is now quite satisfied with his son.

Chen Xiao said, "I'll watch TV for a while, you all go to sleep."

Lin Hui also said: "Wait for him to watch TV for a while, the third year of high school is so hard, it's better to change his mind."

Chen Qiang thought about it too, and said, "You still have to go to bed earlier."

Chen Xiao said, "I'll go to sleep after watching."

At ten in the morning, when the time on the wall came to 00:00, the bell of the landline at home rang.

Chen Xiao picked up the phone, and there was some nervous breathing on the opposite side.

Chen Xiao: "Hello?"

Shen Wei immediately heard Chen Xiao's voice and whispered, "Chen Xiao, Happy New Year!"

Shen Wei's voice was small, soft and pleasant.

As soon as I heard it, I was secretly standing in the living room behind my parents' back to make a phone call.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Shen Wei, Happy New Year!"

In the past few days on New Year's Day, Chen Xiao did two things.

One thing is to add the navigation page of the URL to the page of the 11181 website.

The shortcut links of popular websites such as Wangyi, Xinlang, and Sohu are displayed directly on the webpage, so that users do not need to enter the address when visiting the website.

In 2000, there was no such thing as self-media, and netizens obtained information through these portals.

Chen Xiao also adopted some small measures to allow the browser to automatically lock the homepage of 11181, so that netizens can easily click to their favorite websites through the navigation page.

The second thing is to write a visual desktop for the domestic version of the "Demagie" machine tool, so that the machine tool can be connected to the monitor, and then improve the complex mechanical button console, so that the workers can control the machine tool more skillfully and accurately.

CNC machines with monitors and simple buttons are available, but most of them are imported and cost a lot.

Chen Xiao's improvement can make ADLINK's equipment a whole higher level than ordinary copycat equipment, and it can completely compete with foreign equipment.

The reason why Chen Xiao did this was because Zhou Linghua was a little anxious now.

He has been waiting for a serious accident in the equipment of Zhongjing Company, but still has not waited.

Now that he saw Chen Xiao's improved equipment, Zhou Linghua felt relieved.

For this matter, on January 2, Zhou Linghua also drove over to pick up Chen Xiao, and the two went to Wang Xiang to discuss how to improve production.

Wang Xiang: "The display is relatively simple. It is similar to the VCD display. We only need to add a module to the motherboard. The difficulty is the operating system."

Chen Xiao said: "In the past few days, I have written a simple operating system for CNC machine tools, which can be brushed into the motherboard."

Chen Xiao began to explain the design ideas of the system in detail, and showed the results.

The system of CNC machine tools must be simple and clear, and it is enough to directly tell the worker what to click and input to control what.

Hearing Chen Xiao's design ideas, Zhou Linghua was amazed!

"This thing is good! We know that we make equipment! An excellent CNC machine tool employee is actually a technician, and it takes a long time to train. But with visual operation, the difficulty of training workers will be greatly reduced. The equipment is expensive!”

Zhou Linghua looked at Wang Xiang and said excitedly, "Director Wang, is there any problem with your production?"

Wang Xiang said with a full mouth: "It's not a big problem. In fact, the main body of the device has basically not changed. The most difficult thing is the operating system designed by Chen Xiao. If the operating system can match, then there will be no problem."

Zhou Linghua brought a Lenovo Pentium 3 desktop to Chen Xiao today, which is what Chen Xiao asked last time.

Chen Xiao is now Zhou Linghua's God of Wealth, and Zhou Linghua is of course responsive.

Zhou Linghua looked at Chen Xiao and asked, "Brother Chen, you should be fine here, right?"

Chen Xiao said with certainty: "I have already designed the system here. It only needs to be flashed into the motherboard. There is no problem. We can build one and try it out in a while."

Zhou Linghua nodded again and again and said, "If the attempt is successful, this batch of devices with monitors and operating systems and Brother Chen's for example will be divided into 28%."

Zhou Linghua is quite clear in his heart that if this batch of equipment can be produced, it will definitely affect the pattern of the entire CNC machine tool industry.

ADLINK Equipment Co., Ltd. is likely to surpass the equipment factories in the north and the south, and become the leader of domestic CNC machine tools, and even have the opportunity to wrestle with some second-tier foreign manufacturers.

Chen Xiao and Zhou Linghua bumped their fists and said, "Deal!"

In the afternoon, Chen Xiao and Wang Xiang cooperated to improve the motherboard structure, so that it has the system visualization function, and then Chen Xiao flashed into the system.

After handing over the latest motherboard codenamed LH-5V2.0 to Zhou Linghua.

Chen Xiao said: "Mr. Zhou took it back and tried it, and asked the technician to replace the motherboard. These two interfaces are connected to the monitor, and the cables are also configured."

Zhou Linghua immediately took back the latest motherboard and cultivated wires.

Five o'clock in the afternoon, Linghua equipment factory.

Zhou Linghua immediately asked the technician to replace the motherboard, and then connected a 17-inch computer monitor in the factory.

power on.

The machine starts beeping.

Immediately afterwards, a few large characters with white characters on a blue background were displayed on the display—ADLINK LH-5V2.0 CNC.

Zhou Linghua's heart trembled.

After the boot interface, it is a simple and clear operation interface.

The interface contains the basic operations of various CNC machine tools. The most incredible thing for the technicians is that the system can assemble the operation procedures and merge them together, so that the machine tool can continuously complete a set of tasks.

And in the past, this set of tasks had to be broken down one by one, allowing workers to operate them one by one slowly.

The technicians were shocked!
