The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 380 Insufficient Firepower
"An antivirus software company?"

Lei Jun nodded: "Our country is now connected to the international internet. Viruses will definitely be rampant on the internet in the future. I think antivirus software has a lot of potential."

"Wait a minute, when did we connect to the international internet?"

Lei Jun stared in disbelief and said, "Just over a month ago, didn't the advisor know?"

Liu Hua shook his head. Just over a month ago, he was still working day and night in the lab, oblivious to everything else, so much so that he missed such a big event in the semiconductor industry.

Liu Hua turned to look at his students: "Do you know?"

"I know."

"Then why weren't you told?"

"We thought you already knew. After all, you are the founder of our country's semiconductor industry and the designer of the entire domestic local area network. How could you not know about this?"

Liu Hua shook his head: "I really don't know anything about this. Do you have a newspaper? Bring it over so I can take a look."

A student ran up to Liu Hua's desk, looked around, and pulled out a stack of documents: "Teacher, this is an internet memo sent to you by the post office. I thought you had already read it."

Liu Hua picked up the memo and glanced through it. He was very pleased. China had been building its domestic local area network for many years, accumulating numerous patents and technologies. This time, through sharing with the international community, they had secured a root server for the international internet.

Liu Hua remembered that in his previous life, during the IPv4 era, there were no primary root servers, only secondary root servers. In this life, there are, which is definitely the greatest affirmation of his transmigration.

"Now that we're connected to the internet, all sorts of weird and wonderful things will inevitably pop up. You could go work for an antivirus software company. Although I'm not optimistic about the future of these antivirus software companies, you can still gain some experience."

"You don't have a good opinion of these antivirus software companies?" Lei Jun asked, puzzled. "Why? I don't quite understand."

"The essence of the Internet is sharing, which is free, yet it is also the most profitable thing to do."

Lei Jun didn't understand, and Liu Hua didn't continue. Seeing that the advisor seemed unfathomable, Lei Jun made up his mind to thoroughly understand this sentence in the next few years.

Afterwards, Liu Hua inquired about the impact of the internet's involvement on our country. According to the rumors he heard, dozens of internet companies were registered in Beijing alone that day, a truly thriving scene.

However, Liu Hua also knew that these internet companies were just names; most of the truly successful internet companies were established around 1995.

We've just connected to the global internet and are still in the exploratory stage. The companies we've established so far are just for show.

If you remember that joke, at a conference for internet writers, someone asked a beautiful female writer how she became an internet writer. The beautiful female writer replied, "I changed all the letter writing in my romance novels to sending emails, and that's how I became an internet writer."

This is a joke that people made in the early days of the internet due to their ignorance and lack of understanding.

On August 1st, Liu Hua was invited to a large gathering at the military camp. During the meal, Liu Hua was stopped by an officer carrying four beans.

"Engineer Liu, I know you. I want to toast you."

Since the man was being so polite, Liu Hua naturally raised his glass and toasted him.

After drinking that glass of wine, the officer laughed and said, "Engineer Liu, are you looking down on us old folks?"

"What makes you say that? You are the big brother of the three armed forces, who would dare to look down on you?" "Then why did you design equipment for the navy and air force, but only for us old infantry?"

Liu Hua protested, "I designed an all-terrain vehicle for you more than 20 years ago, earlier than anyone else."

"As you said, it all happened more than 20 years ago. This means that you haven't thought about us in the past 20 years. We old folks have suffered so much."

Liu Hua shook his head: "Who said I don't miss you guys? Didn't I even help with the design..."

What was designed?

Liu Hua shook his head: "I can't say. You don't have the equipment yet. It should still be in the confidential stage."

"Can't we even tolerate a slight draft?"

Liu Hua thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "A high-horsepower diesel engine, with more horsepower than any diesel engine currently in use, is at an advanced level in the world."

"is it?"

The guy understood immediately, but then said regretfully, "What a pity, it's too late to solve the immediate problem. Testing such a big machine will take five, six, seven or eight years. I might even retire before I get to see it."

Liu Hua said helplessly, "I can't do anything about it unless I design a new combat boot, then you can get new shoes next year."

The officer walked away dejectedly, and Liu Hua could only feel sorry for him. There was nothing he could do to help, but Liu Hua really wanted to do something for him, even if it was just to express his feelings.

After returning from the military camp, there was good news at the company: the two sales directors each brought back large battery orders from Japan and South Korea, especially Japan, whose electronic products are very popular in Europe and America, so the demand is huge.

In Europe, Motorola and Ericsson are also about to sign a contract. They have just built a GSM network and officially launched 2G. Business volume is growing, and the demand for batteries is also increasing day by day.

When the company got business, Liu Hua generously gave bonuses to the workers, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Liu Hua gathered the research staff recruited by the factory together: "Do you see how happy the workers are?"

"Saw."

"That's because our products are competitive, so the workers can get bonuses. But the heavy responsibility of keeping our products competitive falls on your shoulders."

Liu Hua divided the researchers into two groups: one group studied lithium batteries, and the other group studied sodium batteries.

This time, he did not exchange the materials, but instead allowed the researchers to work freely, as forcing them to develop their skills would not be conducive to their growth.

Liu Hua came to Changping alone. There was a Northern International Shooting Range there. He wanted to do something for the army, but he had no idea what to do. So he would come to the range to fire a couple of rounds to find inspiration.

Liu Hua was holding an SVD. He had already fired dozens of shots, but he still couldn't hit the bullseye. It seems that being a sniper requires talent. Some people can kill with every shot without a scope, while others can't even aim at the bullseye with an 8x scope.

The instructor standing nearby smiled and said, "Sir, when you're sniping, you need to take precautions. Wind, temperature, and humidity all affect the flight."

"That's why we have a fear of insufficient firepower," Liu Hua said with a smile. "If I fire a single shot, I don't care about any deviations. As long as the target is within ten meters, everyone is equal under artillery fire."
