Chapter 93

"Genius creation of a magical girl."

"An incredible feat... Is Miss Edson really only 16 years old? Why do I feel like she's already 60?"

"Damn, she's going to make us all lose our jobs!"

After the news of the Z80 was released, Silicon Valley was filled with cries of despair. However, more people became interested in Intel Corporation.

Most of those working in semiconductors at this time were truly passionate about the industry. They were young, in their twenties and thirties, full of vigor, and striving for their dreams.

To them, Intel was clearly a good place to realize their dreams. In the past, it was Fairchild, and now it was Intel. And Katherine believed that for a long time to come, it would still be Intel.

The conflict between Seymour Cray and the company was becoming more serious, but it had not yet reached the point of a rupture.

However, there were significant problems within Fairchild Corporation.

The former king of semiconductors was fraught with internal conflicts. Although it was still profitable and even in the semiconductor field, Intel had to avoid its sharp edge, Fairchild was on the path to self-destruction.

To be honest, many once-great companies at this time were self-destructing. Katherine was well aware of this fact. Although she felt it was immoral to push them over the edge, she did not want to see those talents leave.

For example, now, Katherine did not forget to write to Noyce and Moore. Although she felt guilty about stealing the "Moore's Law," this did not stop her from trying to poach them.

After all, they were the original team of Intel in the original world. After losing faith in Fairchild, they left and founded a new company.

Another company on the verge of self-collapse was Wang Laboratories. Wang was of Chinese descent and one of the five richest people in America, but his company eventually disintegrated. Of course, that was in the 1990s, and now, Wang's computer company was still around. However, Katherine felt that acquiring this company would be difficult, and there were signs that the antitrust hand was ready to fall on her Intel.

This was the era of the most stringent antitrust laws in America. If she wasn't careful, it would be a tragedy.

"Phew... Done."

Katherine knew the global trends. Although she might not be as clear on the finer details, she could still tell the engineers about the future development of hardware, so they wouldn't take the wrong path.

Moreover, Katherine's grasp of theory was sufficient to guide them toward the future.

"Kate!"

While Katherine was thinking in her bedroom, a shout came from outside the window.

"Lisa?"

Katherine looked over and saw Lisa, Jenny, and Ada.

She immediately went to open the door and let them in.

"Hey, Kate, you didn't tell us you were back!" Lisa smiled and hugged Katherine.

"Sorry, I was so busy I forgot... Where's Lily?"

Katherine suddenly noticed that Lily seemed to be missing.

"Her grades weren't good... She didn't score 70 on the last test..."

In America, there were not only A, B, C, and D grades but also numerical scores, like the SAT. At Glorial Girls' High School, students who scored below 70 had to receive individual tutoring... So, Lily was honorably retained at school.

"Really?"

Lisa suddenly noticed something was off, but Katherine was quick.

"Right, Elsa!"

Katherine called out to Elsa.

"This is my good friend from England, Elsa. I think you'll like her~" Katherine pushed Elsa forward.

"Oh, what a cute girl."

"Elsa, these are my friends, the ones I told you about before. This is Lisa, Jenny, and Ada."

"Hello, Elsa."

"Hello, everyone."

They had met.

"Kate, what have you been up to lately?" Ada asked.

"This."

Katherine handed them her script.

"Red Alert?"

Ada seemed more interested in this.

"It seems like a pretty good script." Ada looked very interested.

At that moment, Katherine's eyes lit up.

The lead role... Wouldn't Ada be perfect for it?

Tall figure, healthy skin, beautiful appearance... Hey! She really could do it!

Katherine was excited.

"Ada, would you like to try it out?"

"What?"

She asked curiously.

"The lead role! Tanya!"

Katherine smiled.

"Me?" She raised an eyebrow, seeming interested.

"Can I... really?"

She asked.

"Of course! Ada, you can do it!"

Katherine nodded vigorously.

Ada had always wanted to go to Hollywood and act in movies. She had even acted in "The Blair Witch Project"... But... But... Could she really do it?

This was the lead role!

When it came to her, she hesitated.

"Of course! Ada, you can do it!"

Katherine smiled.

"Right, give it a try, it might be great!" Jenny and Lisa encouraged her.

"Then I... will give it a try!"

Katherine nodded: "I'll call Mr. Carasanto now. He's the director of this film. Maybe he'll think it's great too."

Katherine immediately made a call.

Carasanto said he would see if Ada was suitable for the film. If she wasn't, he would definitely not use her, but if she was, he would consider it. According to the script's requirements, Carasanto demanded that the girl must be able to endure hardship and undergo training.

Katherine had already considered these issues when writing the script.

In the end, Ada agreed. She seemed to really enjoy acting.

"Kate, your shoes are so pretty..." Jenny suddenly noticed something.

"Right, I heard the flagship store in London also released a pair of high heels, very similar to the ones you're wearing. I heard many people like them, but they have a problem when walking."

Similar to ballet shoes?

Katherine suddenly thought of the extremely popular platform shoes of the future.

Ballet shoes and platform shoes had some similarities... Perhaps...

But were there already platform shoes? Katherine was unsure. However, she still shared her idea.

"Sounds good, but I still prefer the ones on your feet."

Lisa thought for a moment: "I like horses too. Maybe I can consider making a pair of horse hoof boots?"

Katherine shrugged.

She was noncommittal.

After all, each era has its own trends. Going against the tide is a tragedy, and being ahead of the tide is also a tragedy.

Even platform shoes were just an idea.

"Maybe we can develop an animal series?" Jenny suggested.

"Right... But I think we should ask Uncle Herman." Lisa thought for a moment and finally said.

...

My phone fell in the water, damn it...
