Just do it if you think of it!

Catherine took action immediately.

She immediately wrote a report on fiber optics and explained the convenience and safety of fiber optic applications.

Then, Catherine decided to submit her report on fiber optics to the Pentagon.

Regarding the optical fiber matter, Catherine was still very secretive. She asked Sanders to come forward on this matter, while she hid behind it.

What would happen if Pentagon phones could no longer be tapped?

The answer is very simple: a group of angry KGB tried their best to investigate the inventor and promoter of this plan, and then kidnapped them to the Soviet Union or killed them directly...

This is not impossible, it is very possible!

So Catherine was very careful.

As for the FBI, Catherine is not worried. After all, she has not done anything that endangers the national security of the United States. There is no need to be paranoid and guarded against the FBI like the protagonist in some novels. Moreover, at this time, the FBI is very important to the government.

The surveillance of important officials is far stronger than that of these businessmen and enterprises. Although Catherine's career is very open, it is impossible to expect the FBI to dig deep.

As for the CIA, they are probably more bothered by the KGB, right? As for domestic affairs, the CIA rarely deals with them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Catherine's report was handed over, it would cause a commotion or surprise.

Fiber optics can completely prevent the possibility of eavesdropping during the transmission stage. Although eavesdroppers are still useful, many monitoring will be ineffective. Therefore, it will obviously be much more convenient for officials to discuss privacy and confidential content. General

We also welcome this. Especially they believe that optical fiber should be used in the military.

Optical fiber is indeed more convenient and even better than copper fiber when used in the military, and this is especially true for the protection of military secrets.

arpa is also very interested in this. Because the loss of optical fiber transmission is very small. Although "historically" low-loss optical fiber only appeared in 1970, compared with copper fiber, the loss of current optical fiber is already very low.

Moreover, the information that optical fiber can transmit can be said to be unlimited (relative to today), which also means that any data transmission can even be completed in an instant!

You know, the capacity of current storage media is less than a fraction of that of optical fiber transmission!

The Pentagon quickly approved the discussion this time and provided an additional $30 million in investment to Catherine.

To Catherine's surprise, the Pentagon's allocation to Catherine was quickly approved by Congress. Congress even provided an additional $20 million and required telecommunications companies to develop optical cable lines dedicated to members of Congress.

Catherine couldn't help but sigh, America in the 1960s was really an insecure place.

That's right, because at this time, in addition to investigating crimes, the FBI also often launched investigations into dissidents. Martin Luther King, Chaplin, etc. were all investigated by the FBI.

The best way not to provoke the other party is to "take the correct route."

If the line is incorrect, the bigger the company becomes and the more reactionary it becomes, the FBI will find it distasteful. When faced with an FBI investigation, it will not be settled just by cooperating with the investigation.

From this, Catherine also decides whether she should support a political party or something.

The United States does not welcome the moderation of the centrists, especially on political issues. If there is no obvious bias, they will often be regarded as useless, and the result can only be tragic.

Especially after fiber optic communications received the attention of Congress.

——Not only is the KGB staring at the United States, but the FBI is the biggest boss. Even so, Catherine has no intention of giving up the 50 million US dollars. And as long as she behaves politically correctly, the FBI will at most monitor her even if she is displeased.

Just yourself.

Maybe they had already been doing it, but Catherine didn't notice it.

Catherine still has no intention of giving up on optical fiber for civilian use.

She always wanted to lay out fiber optics.

After thinking for a long time, Catherine came up with a way to lay out the backbone network first, then through conversion, and finally use analog signals to reach the home!

It seemed good, but after thinking about it, Catherine still felt it was unrealistic. In this case, it would be better to just use copper fiber!

The cost of optical fiber is cheap, but after adding converters, the price goes up. If you want to experience the advantages of optical fiber, you must lay intercity optical cables.

From a long-distance perspective, optical fiber has a large transmission capacity and is not afraid of signal loss. Even now that low-loss optical fiber has not yet appeared, optical fiber technology still has less loss than copper fiber. And the longer the distance, the cost advantage of optical fiber compared to copper fiber.

The more obvious it becomes.

After all, the material of optical fiber, quartz sand, is worthless, while copper fiber is very valuable.

As for the intercity network?

That's not Catherine's problem. This matter is managed by the U.S. government. If you intervene yourself, the biggest possibility is not to become a rich man, but to be cheated.

But soon, Catherine found another unlucky child - Wall Street.

If there is any place where we are most afraid of being wiretapped, it is definitely not the Pentagon or the U.S. Congress, but Wall Street.

Catherine decided to launch the fiber optic business on Wall Street.

She first contacted several accounting firms and then asked them if they were interested.

Because the accounting firm's information is very important to the company, if this information is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous. It is likely to cause oscillations in the stock market.

Many companies in the United States hand over their accounting and statistical services to third parties. In this way, their own fairness and objectivity are guaranteed. But third parties are also human beings after all, so they are likely to be targeted by competitors or have some leaks.

.

But with the advent of optical fiber, confidentiality measures will be upgraded to a higher level, and the possibility of leaks will be greatly reduced.

More importantly, the profits this may bring to them!

Just think about it, if a company takes the lead in adopting new confidentiality measures, most important large customers will probably choose such a company, right?

As a result, all kinds of new business will come rolling in, and the company's efficiency will greatly increase!

In order to ensure that customers are not lost, other companies can only assume Catherine's optical fiber...

There are many things that need to be kept secret on Wall Street. What Catherine did was just a stepping stone.

For securities companies, the need for confidentiality is higher than that of accounting companies.

After getting in touch with them, Catherine was full of confidence, and at this time, another good news came - the z80 civilian version was successfully developed.
