The next day, Owen hurriedly found Old Moss and asked,""Do you know anyone who used the computer in the storeroom?”
Old Moss 'heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly covered it up.""No one has ever used it. You can ask the people here. No one has ever gone to this storeroom. Even I, the storeroom manager, don't go there often!”
Owen rubbed his chin and muttered thoughtfully,"Could it be something that happened before I put it in the storeroom?”
"I…I have to go to work. See you later!”After saying that, Old Moss left in a hurry.
Then Owen found the former librarian and asked her if anyone had used the computer when it was in the library. The former librarian naturally let him know that no one in the community's general affairs department knew how to use a computer, and the computer was indeed broken. Although she didn't know if it was a dos system or not, she was very sure that when she pressed the switch, the computer didn't react at all.
All of this made Owen feel confused. There was nothing wrong with the computer at all, and how the programs were in there. It was really strange. Perhaps he should take these things to Professor Peter. Perhaps he would have some insights.
Thinking of this, Owen couldn't care less. He immediately applied for leave from the general affairs department. When he returned to the library, Owen began to dismantle the case, intending to take the hard disk containing the data back to school. He removed the last screw and opened the case cover. At this moment, he saw something even more shocking. A circuit board that looked very complicated, a circuit board he had never seen in other computers. Not daring to dismantle it, he decided to carry the case back to school!
At the Bernstein Institute of Electronic Engineering, Owen, who had returned to school, walked through the school building with ease under the scorching sun. He rushed to the professor's office and barged in without even knocking. There were only two professors inside. Professor Peter, who was busy writing an academic paper, looked up and saw Owen. He pushed his glasses up his nose and said,"It's you, you daredevil. Didn't you report to your post?
Why did you come back? Are you not satisfied with your work?”
Owen panted and wiped his sweat."I found something very interesting at work. I thought the professor would be interested, so I brought it over!”
Professor Peter looked at the computer case in his arms and asked,""Is this the case?"
"Yeah, I'll let you see this first!”With that, Owen laid the case flat on the table and opened the cover.
Professor Peter and another professor also came over curiously and looked inside. Their expressions changed, and Professor Peter said in surprise,""Can this computer start?"
Owen connected the computer to the monitor in the professor's office without a word, then pressed the switch, and the computer started running normally.
Seeing this, Professor Peter said in shock,""The person who made this circuit board has already reached the level of a hardware engineer in terms of understanding of computer hardware, and his level of electronics has reached the acme of perfection. He can actually simulate the logic control system of the central processing unit with electronic components. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that there would be such an expert in your workplace.”
"Actually, I don't know who is using this computer. To be honest, I don't know what this circuit board is for. There's something strange here.”
At this time, the computer had already started to operate. Professor Peter sat in front of the computer without saying a word and operated it. His expression was getting worse and worse.
Owen said," It's a very strange operating system. It's much more intuitive than the plain text DOS system. You can roughly know how to operate it at a glance!”
Professor Peter sighed and said," What an excellent system. I wonder which company came up with it. This is an operating system that will bring about earth-shattering changes to the computing world. Although it's only a prototype, I'm sure that all computers in the future will use this operating system."
"Is it that meaningful?" Owen said in surprise.
"Yes, this is a revolutionary operating system. Although this is only a simple prototype, it will completely replace the old DOS system!”
"What if I say…that this system was not created by any company, but was designed by someone?”
"What did you say?" Professor Peter was even more shocked than if he had been struck by lightning.
"Look at the hard drive. There's a file with the source code of this operating system!”
Professor Peter hurriedly opened the folder Owen mentioned and found the source code of the operating system. His hands seemed to be trembling as he said,"You…you…do you know…what this means?”
"Although this operating system is very unique and of a high standard, it can't be considered a masterpiece!”
"That's where you're wrong. Let me put it this way. The pencil was originally cylindrical and easy to break. Later, someone invented the hexagonal prism. This patent brought that person hundreds of thousands of dollars of wealth. This is the famous inventor of the computer, Feng Neummann. The computer he made was so simple, but he was still called the father of computers. The one in front of you now, although it's just a simple program, what he represents... Do you know what it means?”
Owen nodded fiercely, breaking out in a cold sweat. He seemed to have thought of something and said,"This system hasn't been officially released yet. If anyone takes it out first, won't it belong to that person?”
"That's true, but this kind of behavior is no different from stealing. I can't do it!”
"It's really very tempting, but I can't do such a shameless thing!”
"By the way, where did you get this computer case?”
"Oh, this is from the community where I work. When I first arrived there, I heard that it was broken, so I wanted to fix it, so I moved it out of the utility room. In the end, I found these things. Later, I asked a lot of people, but they all said that no one had used this computer before.”
Professor Peter pondered for a long time and said,"" Leave the computer case here for me to study. Although it's a little inappropriate, I'm very curious about this operating system's programming framework. I'll call you in a few days to tell you to take it back. Also, remember to pay attention to that person. If you can find him, remember to give me his contact information. I'll pay him a visit personally."
"I'll pay attention. I'll go back first. I still have to work tomorrow!”
At this time, neither of them noticed that the professor who had been silent at the side had a hint of greed in his eyes…
