Chapter 82

"Perhaps you would be interested in joining our DreamWorks?"

Kathryn invited the other party.

"If your company needs it, I would be very willing."

$5 million!

This is $5 million!

Sergio was very excited.

After they agreed, Kathryn made a call and explained the situation to Eastwood.

After the call, Sergio almost immediately left and headed to the state of Mexico.

It seemed that the other party was very excited.

"Um... Miss, are you really the director of 'Wasteland'?"

Elsa suddenly asked.

No one had told her this, and Kathryn had never paid attention to it.

In fact, Elsa had always thought that these two people just shared the same name.

But now, it seemed that things were not like that.

"That's right, what's the matter?"

Kathryn asked in confusion.

"I... I like watching movies."

Elsa had also seen the movie "Wasteland."

Watching movies was one of Elsa's few hobbies.

Elsa never imagined that Kathryn actually ran an entire film company and was the director of "Wasteland"!

Usually, she kept her distance from Kathryn, but at this moment, Elsa realized that she might have misunderstood something.

Kathryn smiled.

"I hope you'll like my movies. If we can receive programs from the New York area, maybe by July, you'll be able to see my TV series!"

Elsa seemed very interested.

"By the way, Elsa, why didn't I see you earlier?" Kathryn asked.

"I was organizing the warehouse," Elsa replied.

"You mean... the place where the clothes are stored?"

Elsa nodded.

"Can you show me?"

Kathryn suddenly became very interested.

"Sure," Elsa said, leading Kathryn to the basement. There was a corridor that looked like a series of warehouses.

Then Elsa opened one of the doors and walked in.

Inside, there were indeed a wide variety of traditional European women's clothing.

"So many..."

Kathryn looked at the clothes and realized that what she was wearing was not really a corset.

Old White had corsets, mostly for formal wear. Here, most of the items were for daily wear. There were various leather, wooden, and metal items. From head to toe, each set of clothing could fully "arm" a young girl.

Kathryn suddenly remembered a description she had heard in America about a gathering of upper-class noble ladies in Europe...

"They (noble ladies) were made to wear masks that prevented them from hearing, seeing, or speaking, then led to the venue by servants, tied to chairs, and the servants would start the gathering..."

Thinking about it, Europe was truly terrifying.

Women were oppressed to such an extent, no wonder there was a feminist movement.

"What's this?"

Kathryn suddenly noticed a pair of shoes.

These shoes were somewhat similar to ballet shoes.

They were probably high heels, but the style was very strange, and there was no heel at all. Once worn, one could only stand on the toes. The outside was made of metal, and the inside seemed to be lined with something.

"This is just for display, it can't be worn at all."

Elsa replied.

But Kathryn decided to show off.

"Elsa, bring me those shoes, I'll try them on."

"Huh?"

Elsa was a bit puzzled but still took the shoes.

They looked about the same size as Kathryn's feet, slightly larger, but that was fine. Elsa helped her put on the shoes and then helped Kathryn stand up.

"Elsa, let go of me, I'll show you."

In Elsa's surprised gaze, Kathryn walked back and forth in the shoes, as if walking on flat ground, with no sign of discomfort.

Then, she seemed to want to do some difficult moves, but due to the thigh bands, she had to give up.

"You... are really amazing."

Kathryn smiled: "Nothing much, I just learned some ballet before. But these shoes are really beautiful."

Indeed, although there were no patterns, the shape of the metal and the reflective luster were quite in line with certain later aesthetics.

Elsa nodded.

"Um, I heard you developed a personal computer? That seems like a very interesting thing?"

Elsa also seemed very interested in computers.

Kathryn smiled a bit awkwardly but still nodded.

Although it was her own product, to put it bluntly...

She could only describe her personal computer with the three words "crap."

Although she had the patent for integrated circuits.

But most of the patents were theoretical. In reality, it took her several years to buy various materials from Fairchild to complete a mere assembly, which was "GameTV."

As for those personal computers, they might look good to people now.

But if another time traveler came, they would definitely curse Kathryn.

What the hell is this? An enlarged version of Wencuxing? The earliest version? Damn, it's even a castrated version!

Strictly speaking, Kathryn's personal computer was just a "word processor" with a bit of gaming functionality.

If used for complex tasks like programming, it was absolutely impossible.

For ordinary people, it was fine, but for Kathryn, a former software engineer, it was almost unbearable.

"Basically, it's just a word processing device..."

Kathryn replied.

Back then, the reason she used the name "Microsoft Computer" was that "Microsoft" and "crap" were, in a certain sense, synonymous.

Kathryn was now preparing to contact Seymour Cray.

Supercomputers were the trend now, and only supercomputers could be considered true computers.

If she had Seymour Cray, many supercomputer issues could be easily resolved.

After all, she wasn't from the 1960s, and she didn't know as much about the problems supercomputers faced at that time as the experts did.

Moreover, as Seymour Cray brought down IBM's 360 supercomputer, the conflicts between him and the company grew increasingly severe. Kathryn was confident that she could poach him within two years.

Seymour Cray was very passionate about supercomputers, from the 1950s until his car accident in 1996, he had always been involved with supercomputers. In a certain sense, he had a fanatical obsession with the performance of supercomputers, which was exactly what Kathryn needed.

Moreover, with supercomputers, future movies would be much more interesting.

Imagine a fully CG "StarCraft"... How interesting would that be...

Well, these were just fantasies for now.

Reality doesn't change according to one's will, just like her "Halo," although it was already planned, from George Lucas's report, Kathryn could see some issues.

Kathryn wanted to create a perfect "Halo," and before that, it would need some time to develop...
