Chapter 243 Walmart Supermarket

Catherine has no plans to learn pole dancing or anything like that, she doesn’t even want to touch it.

"Hey, do you really think this kind of dance is good?"

Catherine looked at Elsa and Lyreira in disbelief.

"No, I'm just a little interested..." Elsa looked at Catherine's pitiful expression and hesitated.

“Just because it’s difficult to study outside, wouldn’t it be great to study here?”

Lily turned off the video and walked over.

Catherine scratched her head.

"Okay, you can learn if you want to, I'll go swimming." Catherine said, ready to get out of the way. She knew that if they continued to stay here, they would definitely pull her over.

"Kate, wouldn't it be nice to learn a little something useful? And if I could take a photo of you dancing...oh, that would be really cool."

Lily held the camera and fantasized.

"no way"

This is not the time in the sports club...this is pole dancing.

"Why don't you learn some more beautiful dances...such as waltz or something..."

Catherine said again.

"Jenny said the same thing." Lily pouted, "But I think I may never need to waltz in my life. But the one we are learning now, I think it is very bad. Kate, don't you think this kind of dance is very

Cool?"

Yes, cool as hell, but not now.

Pole dancing will indeed be very popular in the future, but the problem is that we are still in the 1960s.

After struggling for a long time, Catherine, who would rather die than obey, finally escaped from the clutches of the devil - of course, this was not without cost.

For this purpose, Catherine acted as Lily's model and took a lot of photos. Lily said that she planned to use these photos as materials for her graduation thesis.

By the next day, both of them were going back to school, so Catherine finally had some time to relax.

Then they came to Walmart.

"Oh, it's so cool here"

Larry sighed.

"it is necessary."

Catherine said proudly.

The Wal-Mart supermarket here has an all-steel frame structure. The outside is a semi-circular sphere covered with water-blue glass. And outside the sphere, there is a circle of steel beams. The appearance of the entire building does indeed look extraordinary.

This appearance looks very cool, but it also takes a lot of Catherine's hard work.

For this thing, Catherine asked the engineers to change the design drawings again and again, and then finally built it.

Behind the Wal-Mart supermarket is our own electronics building that has not yet been completed.

"There are so many guests."

Elsa looked at the endless flow of people and couldn't help but sigh.

indeed so.

Between the two buildings is an open space, which is also Catherine's land. However, it is not used to build houses. Instead, it is used to build a nearly 200-meter pedestrian street.

There is also an open space at the entrance of Wal-Mart, and this open space is the parking lot of Wal-Mart - and now, the front of Wal-Mart is full of cars, and some cars are still circling here, obviously they can't find it.

Parking space.

"When the electronics building is completed, there will no longer be such a situation here. All three underground floors of the electronics building will be turned into parking lots."

Catherine said.

The three of them walked into Walmart, where customers were queuing up to pay in an orderly manner.

Outside, there is a staff member who is ready to collect shopping lists abandoned by customers.

These shopping lists will be collected, and the goods on them will be analyzed, and then the supermarket will check and fill in the gaps on its shelves.

On the other hand, supermarkets will also determine how much goods should be purchased based on their daily shipments, all of which have supercomputers responsible for statistics and analysis.

"Let's go take a look at the back."

Catherine walked in from the supermarket's employee aisle and then came to the control room.

"Good afternoon, Miss Edson."

The technicians greet Catherine.

"How's the situation going here?"

Catherine asked.

"It's almost done and can be put into use."

Although the supermarket is open for business, some equipment in the supermarket is still undergoing final finishing work, just like a control room.

Catherine nodded.

"As long as there is no problem."

After leaving the control room, Catherine came to the dispatch center. The two staff members were so busy that they could not touch the ground. While they were looking at the data displayed on the computer screen, they were using the intercom to direct the employees to work.

Originally, Catherine envisioned a fully automatic control system, but she soon discovered that such fully automatic control simply didn't work.

Sometimes, it is easy to understand a certain technology, but it is not so easy to understand it thoroughly.

Just like the mén circuit.

Federico invented the mén circuit - of course, these are now Catherine's patents - which is already a remarkable achievement.

In the mén circuit, there are logic mén circuit, én circuit, ttlmén circuit, etc., and these technologies involve very professional content, three-state output, high-level current...

It’s already amazing to be able to understand these sophisticated technologies thoroughly.

Nowadays, these high-tech products in Wal-Mart are all developed by technicians in Katherine Company. It is amazing to be able to reach this stage.

As for fully automatic control, it has not been possible at least in the past ten years - after all, computers cannot work as flexibly as humans, but can only mechanically run preset programs.

For today's crude computers, it is very difficult to achieve this step, and computers contain many technologies, each of which requires long-term research before it can be overcome.

The reason why today's computers have developed so rapidly is because many technologies are still in their primitive stages, and at this time, Catherine can help. With Catherine's guidance, the technicians only need to use the technology to

Once you research it, it will be done.

This is like playing a game. When a character levels up, he or she can learn skills on the skill table.

Although the skills in many games are now gray and non-optional, these skills are still there and can be seen, and it is enough to know what the uses of these skills are.

But as the level increases, players will find that the skill tree disappears

At this time, players can only continue to study existing skills by themselves, and then create skill trees based on these skills - instead of learning as they did in the early stages.

Catherine's "skill tree" in this area has come to an end, so the next work will require technicians to constantly move stones across the river. At this time, Catherine is powerless. She can only tell the other party that when the research appears

Are there any possible errors in the new skills?

The staff in the control room must always pay attention to the inventory of goods. After the end of each day's business, they also need to sort out all the data for the day. Every once in a while, they also need to store the data stored in the hard drive.

in the tape and then save it.

The work is very hard, but the pay is also very high. A brave man must be rewarded. This principle is also applicable in the United States.

Catherine was not prepared to disturb them, so she left quickly.

After walking around inside Walmart, Catherine was still satisfied. At least everything was more perfect than she imagined.

When Catherine walked out, Wal-Mart was at the peak of its business day, and a large number of people gathered at the checkout counter, waiting to pay.

"Oh my God... there are more people than just now." Laerila was startled, and then she sighed: "There are so many people, the salesperson is really busy..."

"Yes, it would be great if the efficiency could be improved."

Catherine suddenly thought of the future supermarket checkout. When shopping in the supermarket, there is a barcode scanner. The salesperson only needs to scan the barcode of the goods. In this way, not only can quick price scanning and settlement be performed, but also real-time notifications can be made.

Retailer which items have been sold.

It is a pity that although barcodes have been produced in 1949, they were not widely used until the 1970s. As of now, barcodes are just a cloud.

Even if Catherine had specialized fetching equipment, it would still be hard to make a plan without straw.

In Catherine's view, if there were bar codes, Wal-Mart's traffic could increase by at least 20%. Many people want to shop at Wal-Mart, but there are too many people at Wal-Mart, so some people have to choose other supermarkets.

If there is a barcode scanner, the checkout speed can be at least half that of normal times, and there will be no errors. This is good news for customers and supermarkets.

Although the Kroger department store in Cincinnati, Ohio has now installed bar code scanning equipment, the first person to eat crabs still faces a huge problem to solve-that is, how to make every product

There is a standard code that can be used across the country. And a universal scanner is also needed.

Unified standards are necessary.

Unfortunately, this is not her job at all, and Catherine can't help at all.

Even if Catherine finds the National Chain Food Enterprises Association, they may not pay attention to her. Catherine does not have any say in the grocery store industry. She just invested in a Wal-Mart, and now Wal-Mart cannot be regarded as an influential one.

It is a large and powerful enterprise, so this aspect is very troublesome.

"Forget it, just let nature take its course."

History is not something that she alone has the final say about. There are 3.48 billion people in the world, and every action of each person may have an important impact on history. She knows that she is only the representative of this world.

A member, she is just a somewhat special person. The "protagonist" or something like that can only appear in novels...
