Chapter Eighty-two: Pregnancy

  "Perhaps you would be interested in joining our Dream Factory?"

  Catherine invited him.

  "If your company needs it, I'd be happy."

  5 million dollars!

  This is 50 million!

  Cersei was excited.

  After they had agreed, Catherine made a phone call and explained it to Eastwood.

  After saying goodbye, Sergio almost left here without stopping and rushed to Mexico.

  It seems like the other party is very excited.

  "Uh... Miss, you're really the director of 'Wasteland'?"

  Elsa asked suddenly.

  No one had ever told her about this matter, and Catherine had never paid attention to it either.

  In fact, Elsa had always thought that these two people were just homonyms.

  But now it seems not to be so.

  "What's wrong?"

  Catherine asked in puzzlement.

  I like watching movies.

  Elsa had also seen the movie "Mad Max".

  Watching movies is one of Elsa's few hobbies.

  Elsa never thought that Catherine was actually in charge of an entire film company and even directed that wasteland movie!

  Usually she kept her distance from Catherine, but now Elsa found that she seemed to have misunderstood something.

  Catherine burst out laughing.

  "I hope you'll like my movie. It would be great if we could receive TV programs from New York here, and maybe by July, I might even get to see my own TV series!"

  Elsa seems interested.

  "By the way, Elsa, where were you just now?" Catherine asked.

  "I'm tidying up the warehouse." Elsa replied.

  "Is that... the place where you put clothes?"

  Elsa nodded.

  "Can you take me to see?"

  Catherine suddenly became very interested.

  "No problem," Elsa said, leading Catherine down to the basement. There was a corridor here that looked like it was lined with storage rooms.

  Then Elsa opened one of them and walked in.

  Inside, as expected, it was full of European traditional women's clothing.

  "Really many..."

  Catherine looked at these clothes and only then did she truly realize that what she was wearing wasn't restrictive.

  Lolita has a lot of accessories, mostly formal wear. Here, most are everyday clothes. All kinds of leather, wood and metal things are available here. From top to bottom, from head to toe, every set of clothing can "arm" the girl from head to toe.

  Catherine suddenly remembered a description of a gathering of European upper-class young ladies that she had heard in America...

  "They (noble ladies) were made to wear masks that prevented them from hearing, seeing or speaking, then they were led by servants to the meeting place, tied to stools, and then the servants began the gathering..."

  Thinking about it, Europe is indeed terrifying.

  Women have been oppressed to such an extent, no wonder there is a feminist movement.

  "What is this?"

  Catherine suddenly noticed a pair of shoes.

  These shoes are somewhat similar to ballet shoes.

  This is probably a pair of high heels, but the style is very strange and there is no heel at all. When worn, it can only rely on the toes. The outside is metallic, and the inside seems to be lined with something.

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

  Elsa replied thus.

  But Catherine decided to show her hand.

  "Ai'er sha, na nà xié zi gěi wǒ, wǒ lái chuān chuān."

  Translation:

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

  "Huh?"

  Elsa looked somewhat puzzled, but still took off her shoes.

  They looked almost like Catherine's feet, just a bit bigger, but that was okay. Elsa helped her into the shoes and then supported Catherine as she stood up.

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

  Under Elsa's astonished gaze, Catherine walked back and forth in these shoes, as if on flat ground, without the slightest hint of discomfort.

  Then, she seemed to want to do a few more high-difficulty moves, but was unable to due to the limitations of the leg rings.

  "You're really amazing."

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

  Indeed, although there is no pattern on it, the shape of this metal and its reflective luster do conform to some aesthetic standards of later times.

  Elsa nodded oh.

  "Say, I heard you've developed a personal computer? That sounds like a pretty interesting thing?"

  Elsa seems to be interested in computers as well.

  Catherine smiled somewhat awkwardly, but still nodded her head.

  Although it was Catherine's own product, to be honest...

  She just wants to describe her personal computer with the three words "坑爹货".

  Although she holds patents for integrated circuits.

  However, the vast majority of patents are based on theory only. In reality, she spent several years purchasing various materials from Xian Tong Company to complete a work that was merely an assembly, namely "GameTV".

  As for those personal computers, they might look pretty good in today's eyes.

  But if there was another transmigrator who could make it through, they would definitely curse Catherine.

  What the heck is this? An enlarged version of Venus? Or the earliest version?! I don't know, or is it a castrated version?!

  Strictly speaking, Catherine's personal computer was just a "word processor" with only a little bit of game functionality.

  If used for complex tasks such as programming, it is absolutely impossible to complete.

  It's okay for ordinary people, but for someone like Catherine who used to be a software engineer, this is almost unbearable.

  "It's probably just a word processor..."

  Catherine replied thus.

  Originally, she used the name "Microsoft computer" for the same reason that "Microsoft" and "坑爹" are synonymous in a certain sense.

  Catherine is now preparing to get in touch with Seymour Cray.

  Supercomputers are now the trend, and only supercomputers can be considered truly computers.

  If Seymour Cray had lived, many of the problems with supercomputers would have been solved.

  After all, I am not a person of the 1960s, and for the problems that supercomputers faced at that time, I don't understand as much as an expert.

  Moreover, as Seymour Cray knocked down IBM's 360 supercomputer, the contradictions between him and the company became more and more serious. Catherine was confident that she could poach him within two years at most.

  Seymour Cray was passionate about supercomputers, from the 1950s until his death in a car accident in 1996. In some sense, he had an obsessive enthusiasm for the performance of supercomputers, and this is exactly what Katherine needed.

  And with supercomputers, future movies will be even more interesting.

  Just think about it, a Starcraft with full CG technology... how interesting would that be...

  Okay, these are just fantasies for now.

  Reality won't change with human will, just like one's aura, although it has been planned well, but from George Lucas' report, Catherine saw some problems.

  Catherine wants to create a perfect Halo, but before that, she still needs to nurture it for some time...
