At this time, humans, whether rich or poor, regardless of their status, were about to be driven crazy by these crazy electrical appliances.
Moreover, the rich were even more annoyed.
After all, if ordinary people's electrical appliances had problems, it would at most cause a lot of inconvenience in their lives.
However, if there were problems in transportation, banking, insurance, and other industries, it would cause a huge impact to many rich people. They were losing huge amounts of money every minute and every second. Of course, they couldn't bear it.
Therefore, when Fox announced that they had figured out the cause of the problem and even had a solution to the problem, almost everyone turned on Fox immediately and waited for the news broadcast.
At 10 o 'clock in the morning on January 2nd, Fox's live broadcast officially began. In addition to the host, there was also a very imposing middle-aged man sitting upright in the studio.
The host began to introduce the middle-aged man's identity. Then, everyone found out that this was the current governor of Noxus, George Jr.
After the introduction, the host asked directly, "Mr. George, you said that you found the cause of this big crisis. Is that true?"
"Yes!" George Jr. said with certainty.
"Then how did you find out the cause?" the host asked curiously.
"Because I am a computer enthusiast!" George Jr. said with a smile and sincerity. "I have always been very interested in computers. In my spare time, I like to do some research and exploration on computers.
After the sudden problem yesterday, I realized that the problem must be with the computer, so I did some in-depth exploration and research on computers. Finally, I found the source of the problem! "
"That's great!" the host said excitedly. "May I ask what the problem is?"
"It's very simple. The problem is time!" George Jr. didn't beat around the bush and said very directly.
"Time!" Hearing George Jr.'s words, many people were surprised. What did the computer malfunction have to do with time?
"Although any device will have problems after a long time, it can't be that so many devices have problems at the same time, right?" the host asked curiously.
"Bingo, actually, what you said hit the nail on the head!" George Jr. said with a smile. "Since so many devices have problems at the same time, it must be a problem of time!
According to my research, the first time a similar problem appeared in the world should have started after the clock struck midnight of the 21st century! "
"That seems to be the case!" Hearing this, many people couldn't help but nod.
That's right, these problems didn't appear at all in 1999, but when the year 2000 came, these problems popped up all at once. It was as if the 21st century was the beginning of the end of the world.
"I believe many people have already realized that the key to this crisis is in the year 2000!" Little George said with fervor and assurance, "This involves the deep operating principles of computers, so I won't explain it thoroughly. I'll just tell you the reason briefly!"
"As we all know, computers operate in binary, and time is actually a manifestation of binary operations."
"In order to save the cost of calculation, computers generally only use the last two digits of the year to express time. After all, for the year, the first two digits will only be moved after 100 years. This time is too long, so many people think that it is unchanging!"
"Some computers think further, so they calculate in the last three digits of the year."
"But now it's the year 2000. The 20th century has ended, and the 21st century has arrived. This time, not only have the last two digits changed, but even the first and second digits have changed. From 1999 to 2000, all four digits have changed!"
"As I said before, computers generally only show the changes in the last two digits of the year. They can't accept the changes in the first two digits. So, many computers directly crashed! "
"For example, the reason why the tax system and the banking system showed crazy data of 100 years was because they were supposed to proceed to the year 2000, but they jumped back to the year 1900. That's why there was such an exaggerated penalty of 100 years."
"Also, radar equipment, because of the time problem, caused the data to change incorrectly and can't operate!"
"Many system files in personal computers are tied to time. Once there is an error in time, the system files will be deleted, causing the system to crash!"
"In short, all computing equipment related to time will encounter this millennium crisis. So, I gave this crisis a name: the Millennium Bug!"
"The Millennium Bug! I see! " After listening to George's explanation, although there were still many idiots who couldn't understand, most of them understood the reason behind it. They were all enlightened, and expressed that the world was really strange. Computers could encounter so many unimaginable problems because of such a small time problem.
"Thank you, Mr. Governor, for answering our questions and answering the questions that have been troubling everyone. Although we have understood after asking, the problem is still there. A large number of electronic devices can't be used, and a large number of computers are in a state of collapse. Ordinary people like us don't even know how to modify the program to make a four-digit change in time. "
"Mr. Governor, I remember you said that you have a way to solve this problem. Please teach us quickly!" The reporter quickly begged.
"Haha, the reason why I'm here is to tell everyone the solution to this problem!" George quickly said, "Actually, the solution to this problem is very simple. You just have to cheat the time and let it go back to the past!"
"It's very difficult to modify time on the system level, and it's impossible for 99% of users. However, there are still some clever tricks in this world, such as training time!"
"As long as it's an electronic device that can set the time, we just have to enter the time setting function and manually adjust the time to a day in 1999. Then, for the electronic device, time will flow backward. Their system won't have to consider the problem of system time conversion. Naturally, they won't delete or mess up files, and the device will work normally!" George explained his solution.
"Yeah! Why didn't I think of such a simple solution?! " Many users patted their heads in surprise, and then went to adjust the time of the device.
Sure enough, after adjusting the time, all the malfunctioning devices returned to normal, and there were no more problems.
This made everyone feel grateful to Mr. Governor, and their impression of him increased greatly. At that moment, almost all the viewers in the United States were watching the live broadcast. Therefore, Little George, who was originally an unknown figure in the country, instantly became one of the most popular political figures in the country.
Especially compared to the Great Commander, who was still stuck in the zipper door, Mr. George Jr. was simply a weirdo among the officials. He was really too likable!
