Although the Pentagon's allocation is only US$80 million, this is only the first phase.

The "cold war" is not just the nuclear cold war.

The Cuban Nuclear Missile Crisis occurred, and the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union heated up. The threat of nuclear annihilation became a topic in people's daily lives. This is why "Wasteland" and "Red Alert" are so popular.

The escalation of the Cold War led to the emergence of a new form of Cold War.

That is - Laboratory Cold War.

The Pentagon believes that whether it can maintain its leading position in science and technology will determine the outcome of the war. The progress of science and technology depends on the development of the computer field.

At this time, Catherine led her own Intel and Apple companies to emerge.

The 4004 micro-CPU has mastered the most cutting-edge theoretical knowledge. The z80 plan can almost be said to be a revolution in the computer microcomputer industry.

Coupled with the Ark Group, or Catherine's judgment on the form of future war, this made them even more interested.

After getting the money, Catherine took action immediately.

She knows that if she doesn't make some achievements, the Pentagon may not continue to fund her.

She is now building up her credit, and she will never be able to do a good thing like Lockheed Martin's 60 billion U.S. dollars and nothing has come out of it.

But soon, her company actually received another US$20 million in grants.

This surprised Catherine a little.

But what followed was another Internet plan.

arpa, the U.S. Advanced Research Project Agency, secured $20 million in funding for Katherine, but at the same time asked Katherine to develop a "strategic command system" that could be interconnected.

Such a system reminded Catherine of something that was about to be born and completely change the world - the Internet.

After all, Catherine majored in software. Although she was not involved in the Internet, she still knew a lot about the Internet.

In November 1969, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency began to build a network named arpacom, but there were only four nodes, distributed at the University of California, Los Angeles, University of California, Santa Barbara, Stanford University, and Utah.

4 mainframe computers at four universities in the state.

In any case, arpacom is the world's first operational packet switching network developed by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. It is the ancestor of the global Internet.

However, due to changes in history, the other party seems to be interested in me.

Indeed, there is no doubt that if soldiers want to communicate with each other on the battlefield, they must go through a network.

However, success in tactics does not represent the entire strategy.

If you want to win a strategic victory, you must maintain higher-level connections. For example, various combat departments and the like.

arpa is indeed far-sighted.

But from Catherine's perspective, apart from being a milestone, arpacom is useless. This earliest network seemed very primitive, and the transmission speed was unacceptably slow.

What's more, this network is named after the arpa company!

Definitely not.

Since the other party asked you to develop it, how could you call it this name?

Catherine shook her head.

intercom?

No!

skycom!

Yes! It’s called Skynet!

Catherine suddenly became excited.

This network created for the "strategic command system" is called Skynet!

As it happened, the core of Phoenix was almost finished compiling, so Catherine simply started compiling it.

The protocol she uses is the future tcp ipv6 protocol. The tcp protocol is very easy to use. It can transport messages from the United States to Europe and back again without losing any packets, and ipv6 can also support enough.

As for the Internet company that serves the military, Catherine even thought of a name, so it was called Netcom.

By the way, the civilian version is also indispensable.

Just as she was thinking about it, a bold plan began to form in Catherine's mind...

Since network technology is the mainstream of the future...why can't I figure it out in advance?!

yes!

network!

Catherine suddenly became excited.

Look, a website from the 1970s! A bbs from the 1970s!

What an interesting thing!

Even, you can extend the network to your own xbox!

The performance of the Xbox using the Z80 chip is inherently better than that of the FC. If it is used to support the network... it seems possible?

Catherine analyzed.

Maybe so.

Faced with such a wonderful prospect, Catherine naturally couldn't give up.

On the civilian side, Catherine also plans to set up a company.

This company can realize the Internet and even rely on unlimited technologies of the Internet and so on.

Maybe, your own TV station can also cooperate with them?

The more Catherine thought about it, the more she felt that her plan was feasible!

But after thinking for a long time, she felt that a company seemed not feasible.

Maybe separate the company?

No, they must be separated!

Att, the famous telephone and telegraph company in the United States, has experienced several splits, leaving the company in pieces.

This definitely won't work.

Therefore, Catherine decided to divide the company she decided into three.

Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom.

Catherine's ambitions are not just on the Internet.

The real mobile phone will appear in 1973. In Catherine's imagination, it seems to be made by Motorola.

Catherine is not interested in the first generation of mobile phones, she is interested in future digital signal mobile phones.

Of course, this is still a long way off.

The Internet is a violent flood. As soon as it appears, everything will become unimaginable.

But in other industries, this is not the case. Mobile phones are okay, but if it is a general industry, even if it is foresight and can advance the business ahead of history, it can be 5 to 10 years at most, and that is the limit.

Catherine has decided not to think about cell phones until 1970—unless the Pentagon continues to allocate funds.

However, it is still necessary to set up a company.

Catherine has decided that the future mobile phone business will be handed over to mobile companies.

China Unicom is responsible for the computer Internet.

As for telecommunications, Catherine asked them to do the lowest-level work, such as laying lines and so on, and just build it. After the construction is completed, the mobile communications and Internet parts will be handed over to China Mobile and China Unicom for operation.

Then, Catherine wrote four words in her notebook.

"Telecom, China Netcom, China Mobile, China Unicom."

Catherine smiled.

"Okay, I'll catch you all in one fell swoop~"
