Chapter 848 Laying out the Internet (Fourth update, please subscribe)
Overnight, Nanyang became a hot topic.
Not overnight, it should be said that due to internal and external troubles, Nanyang became popular.
As for how much this delicious cake is worth?
This is naturally full of unknowns.
Of course, as we all know, Li Yi'an is a businessman. As a successful businessman, he definitely fits the mentor's saying, "As long as there is profit, capitalists will sell the noose to the people who are about to hang them."
So, in Everything in Nanyang is negotiable,
The premise is - as long as the price is right.
However, Li Yian didn't know about the Yankees' decision. Just like he didn't know what Eisenhower thought of him. If he said that he was a successful businessman, he would definitely agree, but was it a rip-off?
This is absolutely insulting!
Even if that guy said it to his face, he would firmly deny it. As we all know, businessmen are just businessmen, they just seize the supply and demand market. As for whether the market is balanced, that is the market. What does it have to do with business?
Since it is unbalanced, the price must be high. This is the market.
It’s the economy, isn’t it the market economy advocated by the United States for many years?
However, Li Yian had no chance to discuss this topic with Eisenhower. After all, Eisenhower had the headache now, and as for Li Yian himself!
In the past few days, his mood has become quite comfortable, not because of the rockets. Although he paints rockets for the Queen and plays with single-stage rockets, multi-stage rockets and bundled rockets with his family, it is indeed very comfortable. .
However, men can't just be the big brother on the list and play with the Rockets.
Although rocketry is fun, there are other goals in life.
Actually, my mood these past two days has been completely amused by the fun-loving American emperor.
Because the United States - as expected, the United States rushed into this track like a mad dog.
They immediately established NASA—obviously inspired by the Nanyang Aeronautics and Space Administration, so they followed Nanyang in establishing an administrative scientific research agency responsible for formulating and implementing the U.S. space program. The United States is absolutely open to learning from the advanced experiences of other countries.
Moreover, he spent tens of millions to bribe his own people to delay, and as a result, he was embarrassed in front of the whole world.
Although it is well known that politicians are shameless, after successive humiliations, American imperialism will definitely become crazier than in history.
How crazy they will be is unclear, but they will definitely take greater steps in the space race than in history.
“It’s easy to pull your balls when you take a big step...” Looking at the city outside the car window, Li Yian’s lips raised slightly.
“The rest depends on how far they can go on this road.”
all the best!
Being proud, Li Yian, who had just returned from the King's Laboratory, once again thought of the red light he saw in the laboratory - the laser.
King Labs has invented the ruby laser!
With lasers, the next step is optical fibers.
With optical fiber, the Internet can be launched.
"It should be called the Internet!"
With a slight smile on his lips, Li Yian found that it felt very good to name it after Nanyang.
Isn’t this naming right a symbol of Nanyang’s contribution to human civilization?
“In fact, the Internet can be established even without optical fiber,”
In another world, in the 1960s, with the rapid economic growth of the Soviet Union, management problems proliferated, and the large amount of data generated was artificially It is difficult to handle, many tasks need to be completed with the help of computers and industrial control systems, and it is almost impossible to synchronize information among various industrial sectors. This demand for information interconnection has led some scientists to devote themselves to building a nationwide interconnection network to get the Soviet economy running again. They had been pressing government officials for permission to build computer networks that would link thousands of machines across the Soviet Union. This network had the potential to rival those then in their infancy in the United States and Western Europe, which evolved further and eventually became the Internet. But the authorities did not support their initiative. Although there was no official support, they eventually established small-scale local area networks in some cities. At a university in Novosibirsk, a computer was directly connected to a computer thousands of kilometers away in Moscow. The network cables they use are solid metal, although the efficiency is very low, and this is just a prototype of the network, not a real network. Unfortunately, in the end, their initiative was vetoed by the authorities, which ultimately led to the disappearance of the Soviet Internet.
But for Nanyang, even the experience of failure can be learned.
What if we study this aspect first?
“How about letting universities try it first? Or provide them with an idea first?”
Many times, great inventions originate from an idea.
"How did the Internet develop?"
Although Li Yian's brows furrowed, even with systematically enhanced memory, the history and development of the Internet are basically blank. At most, you only know some basic concepts.
“The basic concept is that the large computers owned by various universities and research institutions are now independent devices that can allow computers produced by different manufacturers to communicate through a certain standard protocol.”
"In other words, when formulating corresponding standards, yes, standards are the most expensive."
In fact, standards are not expensive. The reason why standards are expensive is because the standard setters make them expensive. It is the experience Li Yi'an brought from another world, so he has always liked being an industry pioneer. Without it, he just wants to set standards!
"All computers that use this standard protocol can use the Internet to communicate with each other. This is the first step of the Internet, that is, things like "E-mail", and then..."
In Li Yian While he was thinking about it, the car had already arrived at the official residence. After returning to the official residence, he locked himself in the study room and continued to study the Internet, although he didn't know much about the Internet.
But as a young man of the new century who has grown up completely in the Internet era, it is still very easy to come up with some ideas.
Actually, the Internet seems very mysterious.
But at the beginning, the idea was not complicated. It was nothing more than connecting computers together through the network, and then realizing the transfer of information between universities.
That is, email is the basic data sharing.
Of course this network can also be handed over to the military.
After all, the prototype of the Internet in another world originated from the military. Speaking of which, it is also related to the artificial satellites that have been in the limelight recently.
In another world, when the Soviet Union launched the first artificial earth satellite in 1957, the United States was very afraid that the Soviet Union would directly destroy the American command center through space means. The U.S. Department of Defense believes that it is necessary to establish a decentralized military command network, which consists of many dispersed command nodes that can still maintain normal operations even if some are destroyed.
Almost a dozen years later, the United States began to develop ARPANET, which connected four hosts at the University of California, Stanford University Graduate School, University of California, and University of Utah to the same network. Although the transmission speed at that time was only 50Kbps, information interconnection and interoperability had been achieved, and eventually it developed into a playground in the civilian field, and continued to develop in the process, thus bringing mankind into the Internet era.
Nanyang has repeated a similar path, but it has gone earlier and further. If you have never eaten pork, you have always seen pigs walking. For Li Yi'an who has experienced the Internet era, he at least does not need to guess what the Internet is. something.
It is easy to come up with an idea, but it is a bit difficult to refine the idea. From the evening until late at night, by the time Li Yian wrote down the concept of the Internet and some technical concepts from memory, it was already 10 p.m. Too much.
Maybe it was because he was about to kick open the door to the Internet. After finishing his busy work, Li Yian still felt a little excited, so he walked alone in the garden of the official residence.
“That’s it, let’s wait for the fiber optics first. You can also use the telephone line first, step by step. By the way, there are also personal computers. This problem must also be solved.”
I have been busy so much just to get on the Internet. Maybe I will have the opportunity in the future to fill in the forums, make appointments with netizens in the chat software, and meet with each other.
Thinking of this, the corners of Li Yian's mouth raised, and his face was full of expectation.
What I’m looking forward to is not the netizens or interviews, but a more distant future.
After all, when the time comes, what will appear in front of him is a future full of countless possibilities.
