Chapter 196 Installing a Computer
Wen Ci tilted her head, thought about it seriously for a moment, and said, "It's not impossible. Anyway, when we go to the Shaanxi Military Region, we won't have any contact with Su Wanqing."

"Then let me ask?"

Wen Ci shook his head.

Despite her words, Su Wanqing probably wouldn't agree to teach someone how to use a computer, especially since she didn't know if Wen Yaozu had any talent for computers.

If someone is too slow, it will be extremely difficult to teach them.

Wen Ci said seriously, "Let's invite a professor from Tsinghua or Peking University to teach. Professors are generally patient in teaching students and educating them."

Suddenly, Wen Yaozu thought of something and hesitated to speak, "What if I can't learn how to use a computer? Wouldn't that be a waste of money?"

"You know you can't learn it before you've even started?"

In the afternoon, a telecom company worker came to my house to install the internet cable. Wen Ci casually asked, "Comrade, I'd like to ask, in a place like the Northwest, will a mobile phone work properly?"

Huo Jingyuan lowered his eyelids slightly: "You want to buy a mobile phone?"

Wen Ci explained: "Yesterday, Yao Zu and I went shopping at the mall and discussed business. We found that the mall was having a promotion: buy a mobile phone and get a pager for free."

As she spoke, a smile crept onto her face: "The pager they gave us was last year's new model."

The telecom worker asked, "It depends on where in the Northwest you are. It won't work in places like deep mountains and forests or desolate Gobi deserts."

Wen Ci's heart skipped a beat.

It seems the purchase won't be possible. The Northwest Military Region is far away, and the desolate Gobi Desert is the only way to reach it.

Huo Jingyuan said calmly, "Shouldn't the military region be able to use it freely?"

Although the Northwest Military Region is remote, the existence of a communications company proves that signals can be received within its territory.

"Even the most remote military regions have signal coverage."

Wen Ci couldn't suppress the joy in her eyes.

"But!" the telecom worker suddenly changed his tone, "Using a mobile phone within the military region requires the military region's signal approval first."

Wen Ci: "Submit a report?"

"Ah."

Wen Ci: "..." It would be better not to say anything at all. He needed to report to his superiors. Huo Jingyuan was just one of many regimental commanders in the Northwest Military Region.

His wife uses a mobile phone worth tens of thousands of yuan.

It will definitely affect his chances of promotion.

While installing the cables, the telecom worker said, "A mobile phone costs at least three thousand yuan a year for internet access. I don't recommend buying one in the Northwest. You can buy a landline instead."

The house allocated to Huo Jingyuan in the Northwest was equipped with a landline phone.

After listening to the advice of the telecom staff, Wen Ci decided against buying a mobile phone. Perhaps in a few years, feature phones will be available.

Two hours later.

A desk had been added to the living room, with a large computer standing on it. Wen Yaozu looked at it from left to right and asked, "Uncle, can I touch it?"

This is the first time I've ever seen such a novel thing.

Computers don't even have pictures in books to show what they look like.

"Not yet, we have to wait for the network cable to be successfully connected."

"Uh-huh!"

Wen Yaozu nodded vigorously, his eyes shining, staring intently at the LCD screen. "This looks a bit like a television."

"The computer screen works on a similar principle to a television."

"Is it also operated with a remote control?"

"No, use the keyboard and mouse."

Wen Yaozu tilted his head: "What's that?"

He had only ever heard his teacher mention computers.

But I've never heard the teacher mention a keyboard and mouse.
