Chapter 292 webofscience
Although China sent its first email in the 1980s, in fact, until the mid-1990s, due to network hardware conditions and cost constraints, this method of contact was not widely used in China. None of them have become popular. Even during the rapid development of the Internet from 1995 to 1997, the popularity of email was still half a beat slower. In Chang Haonan’s impression, it was not until around 2000 that there were universities and research institutes. Scientific research institutions began to use it extensively.
Zhejiang University actually thought of leaving an email address for Fang Zhen. It is still at the forefront of the country in this regard.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being the capital of the Internet (9) Internet (9) Network (6) in the future!
In the end, Chang Haonan spent about 10 minutes on this 56kbps bandwidth network and finally sent the email with difficulty.
Before the rebirth, if the network were to be this slow, the operator's phone number would probably be blown up.
But for him, who has been away from the Internet for nearly a year, the requirements for the Internet have been reduced from "smooth" to "just have it."
In 1997, what else do you need for a bicycle?
After sending it, Chang Haonan did not immediately disconnect from the Internet as Fang Zhen said. Instead, he entered several foreign academic database URLs that he thought were established earlier and tried.
Just kidding, even if he keeps half of the funds provided by 14, the remaining half will be enough for the laboratory's half-year expenses. What happened to the Internet?
As he expected, most of the sites he was familiar with were blank.
But fortunately, and to Chang Haonan's surprise, when he entered the URL of webofscience with almost no hope, the computer did not directly pop up a prompt that the domain name did not exist.
After the progress bar read for a full minute, a familiar web page finally jumped out.
"Holy shit...this database was established in 1997..."
Looking at the crude login interface in front of him, Chang Haonan even felt a little moved——
< br>
Finally saw something familiar.
WOS at this time should have just been established, and it was far less content-rich and fully functional than later generations. Chang Haonan searched the webpage for a long time and even refreshed it twice, but he couldn't find the entrance to register an account. Where.
Of course, even if he can register, this database still requires authorization to view.
But obtaining authorization is not difficult.
Before Chang Haonan was reborn, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics had already entered the U.S. sanctions list, but in 1997, it is estimated that only some researchers from universities on the other side of the ocean had heard of such a school in the East.
I am afraid that many of them are known through the paper co-published by Chang Haonan and Xu Yang.
And in order to capture more markets during this period of rapid expansion of the Internet, the United States has also adopted a very open attitude towards network access in this era.
So basically it is not difficult to get access to these academic databases as long as the school comes forward.
Thinking of this, Chang Haonan couldn't sit still.
He turned off the computer and the cat, grabbed his coat from behind the chair, and prepared to leave the office.
As for the email reply from Zhejiang University...
People in this era generally do not have the habit of checking their mailbox twice every day after going to work and before getting off work. Besides, today is Sunday again, so it will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest.
"Brother, please remember to check your email for me tomorrow. If the other party replies to the email, remember to contact me..."
Chang Haonan originally wanted to say that he remembered to contact me, but he immediately realized that the other party actually There is no way to contact him.
“Forget it, I’ll come over by myself tomorrow.”
"Maybe I should buy a mobile phone..."
He thought after leaving the office. Confidential matters must not be discussed on the outside phone, but as his business becomes more and more busy, a communication tool that allows people to contact him anytime and anywhere becomes more and more important.
Besides, after completing these horizontal projects started last year, Chang Haonan only has a small amount of 200,000 in bonuses and labor fees. Although he has done business with those wealthy businessmen, It's certainly incomparable, but it's still a considerable amount of money. At the same time, the price of an ordinary mobile phone has gradually dropped to less than 2,000 yuan, which is no longer completely out of reach for ordinary people.
While thinking about this matter, Chang Haonan had already arrived at the door of the dean's office in the same building.
Even though it was the weekend, Tang Lintian was still inside.
For a school like Beijing Airlines, there is inequality between colleges.
The School of Aeronautical Science and Engineering is the core of the entire school. Not only are other majors generally set up around its needs, but the dean of the college will also steadily hold the position of vice president.
So things like applying for a database can be done directly by asking Tang Lintian.
When he saw Chang Haonan knocking on the door and coming in, Dean Tang's whole face instantly turned into a flower of joy.
This somewhat exaggerated reaction even made the former feel a little chilly, and he hesitated for half a second before walking into the dean's office.
And the door was specially left open.
"Dean, I..."
But before Chang Haonan could express his intention, the other party stood up and pulled him to the sofa next to him.
Then he stood up and took out a silver jar from an inconspicuous small grid in the lower right corner of the filing cabinet on the other side.
"Xiao Chang, this time you have earned a lot of face for our school and our college..."
Tang Lintian took out the tea leaves from the jar, picked up the kettle, brewed it himself, and put it in Chang Haonan before.
With this set of flowing movements, combined with the expression on his face, people who didn't know it thought Chang Haonan was some big leader who came down for inspection.
"Uh...I..."
Chang Haonan didn't react for a while.
The main reason is that there are so many things that have brought glory to the school and college recently, and for a while, I didn't even know which one Tang Lintian was talking about.
"Academician Du has already told you that when the time comes to deliver his speech, he must mention the name of our school."
Now he understood that it should be that action Du Yishan had told him about the youth representatives attending the event in the car before.
“Of course, after all, our school has provided me with such a good platform, and I will not forget the well-diggers when it comes to water. Moreover, I am also the representative of our school, so I must mention a few words.”
The straightforward statement made Tang Lintian feel relieved.
Then Chang Haonan found the opportunity and told him the reason for his visit today.
After finishing speaking, he picked up the teacup, prepared to moisten his throat, and then systematically described the value of this database.
Tang Lintian next to the result didn’t even blink:
“I will tell the principal tomorrow, apply, apply immediately!”
