Chapter 165 Networks, Forums, and Chat Rooms
Chapter 165 Network, Forums and Chat Rooms
Bruce Lee's affairs had to be carried out step by step. At this time, Catherine was still hanging out with Seymour Clay in the laboratory of the R&D department.
Catherine hopes that Cray's supercomputer will support network equipment.
In this case, the computer equipment will need to make certain adjustments.
According to Catherine's idea, although there are not many computers now, if you want to serve as a server on the network, it is definitely not possible to use a single machine, so you must use a supercomputer.
Catherine's initial idea was to get one so that it wouldn't put too much burden on the network.
But soon, Catherine had a new idea.
——Internet chat room.
But before that, what Catherine still needs to improve is the online real-name system.
Because according to the requirements of the military, skycom must be able to completely monitor intercom, so the network real-name system is essential.
This is easy to solve - at least for now.
Because those who use the Internet are university users and computers are limited, those who use the Internet should be students and professors.
When using a computer, you need to use something that can prove your identity to surf the Internet, and that's completely fine.
First of all, to obtain an Internet permission, you must apply at Katherine's American Telecom. If you have no bad records, you can get an ID to log into the network.
In this way, you only need to enter your registered ID and password every time you go online.
There is only one forum and chat room on the entire network. The nickname and the like can be universal. Each ID is bound to a user name. If you need to modify it, you need to apply.
Although Catherine's approach is complicated, compared to now, it is nothing.
After all, at this time, there was still another organization that was a headache - the KGB.
The United States will not allow an unknown person to intrude into its territory, so the real-name system on the Internet is a must.
The original cost of the supercomputer was US$8 million. After adding network functions, Catherine added 120MB of storage space to the computer, increasing the cost to US$8.2 million.
It sounds ridiculous to pay 200,000 US dollars for 120MB of space, but in fact, this price is still discounted.
But Catherine is not worried. As long as she sells a few more supercomputers, she can recoup her investment. Catherine’s price is $9.99 million, which is not high.
…
In fact, except for Catherine, no one will use a space as large as 120MB. These days, $10,000 only has 5MB of storage space - this is the current situation.
Moreover, the storage device at this time must be shut down for maintenance every night, otherwise... God knows what errors will occur.
Catherine sets the closing time of the forum and chat room from 2 pm to 6 am. At this time, the system will not be able to access the forum and chat room.
Angela: Can you see my text?
Big Star: No problem.
Big Star: This online chat room is really a very interesting thing.
Super AI: The system still needs to complete the final debugging. If you want to promote it, it seems you will have to wait for a while.
Angela:oh, there......
"Oh, my God, since we are face to face, why do we need to use an online chat room?" Catherine suddenly stood up halfway through her text. Opposite her was Sanders with a flat nose and scratching his head.
Seymour Clay.
"But this thing is really good." Sanders seemed very interested.
Although the screen is black and white, the lines of text really feel interesting.
"Maybe... I'll go to the forum first."
System: Angela exited the chat room.
Catherine entered.
With 120MB of storage space, it can be said to be more than enough to set up a forum.
Catherine has set up three sections for the forum. The first is the management area, which is used for netizens to upload suggestions to Catherine's forum. The second is the technical discussion area, which mainly discusses network issues. The third is
The first is the irrigation area...Catherine named this area the gossip area...because she was not sure that Americans today would understand the meaning of "irrigation".
The skycom network is not yet connected, because the military's skycom is not as simple as intercom. They also have to try video transmission, which must be debugged again.
Using cameras and monitors, fiber optic networks can also enable video conversations.
When Seymour Cray's supercomputer is completed, the network between the three universities and Catherine's company will be truly completed.
Even so, the remote optical fiber network still needs to be debugged, so it cannot be put into use immediately.
Facts have proved that the optical fiber network is indeed much more convenient than the copper fiber, and the network installation was completed quickly. Although each school only has four flagship Microsoft II computers, this does not stop these universities from being enthusiastic about the Internet.
Even Silicon Valley is quite interested in the Internet.
Using the Internet is completely different from talking on the phone, especially in a chat room.
Of course, in the chat room now, a few professors are still testing network functions, but nothing interesting is discussed.
When thinking of the Internet, Catherine naturally thought of online games. Unfortunately, although she thought of online games, it is almost impossible to play online games now... Even if Catherine completely realizes the national network
The Internet and computer configuration may not be able to keep up.
But Catherine soon thought of a game - mud.
The English name for mud game is MUD, which is a game that mainly relies on text, with graphics as an auxiliary. In the original history of 1978, Roy Trubshaw of the University of Essex in the UK used dec - the first mud game.
——"mud's first truly real-time multiplayer interactive online game.
In this case, can I also create a Niba online game?
Although there is no profit, it seems to be a very interesting thing.
Although Catherine wrote the idea down in her notebook, she did not implement it immediately.
The current network is only connected to the three schools, and the total number of computers connected to the network is only 20.
At this time, the people using these 20 computers are also technicians, and no one will have time to play games.
The first phase of debugging of the network was completed quickly. Because the optical fiber used was assumed to be an optical cable network, the transmission was smooth. The only troublesome thing was the photoelectric converter.
However, various universities now only believe that the Internet can achieve long-distance communication, such as contacting the feelings between various schools. Their understanding of the Internet is still quite simple, and they have not discovered what is hidden behind the Internet.
of huge benefits.
In fact, at this time, there were almost no posts on Catherine's forum, and they didn't even understand what the forum was for.
During the testing period, the most used chat room was the chat room. They seemed to be very keen to talk to other schools about various issues related to the Internet.
Debugging has been completed and Catherine is now preparing the network.
Once the monster of the Internet is released, its growth will be like a Big Bang, which is enough to scare everyone. It will completely change the way people live in the past.
Such a monster cannot be stopped. Even Catherine can only take advantage of the situation.
Catherine even held a meeting within the company to discuss the future of the Internet and how to develop intercom.
The electronics industry is completely an emerging industry, and Catherine's industry is entirely an emerging industry. Catherine can be said to be the "flagbearer" of this industry.
In this regard, apart from IBM, there is really no other enemy.
Fairchild Company originally had a chance to compete with Catherine, but now the company's backyard is on fire, and internal conflicts have accumulated to a stage that is about to explode.
However, Catherine believes that her creativity can surpass IBM by more than ten blocks.
More importantly, even IBM cannot be considered a fully qualified opponent. The goal of "International Business Machines Company" is not to compete with Catherine, and Watson is also very busy.
Moreover, the other party is currently developing laser discs, and Catherine is sure that as long as her supercomputer is not sold, IBM's attention will not turn to herself.
But in the blink of an eye, another news came, and this news caught Catherine off guard.
Motorola and Sony cooperate to develop a new generation of picture tubes
Catherine was starting to deal with IBM, but she didn't expect Motorola to step in. To be honest, Catherine really didn't want to compete with the other party.
Motorola, a giant in the communications industry, is an absolutely formidable enemy.
Motorola originally collaborated with National Film and Television Company to develop the first rectangular picture tube for color televisions. The picture tube soon became the industry standard.
However, Caitlin's dazzling picture tube made Motorola a little unable to bear it.
Catherine's company can almost be described as "unscrupulous" in terms of expansion. In an industry with no enemies at all, the market value of ark company doubles every year, and sometimes doubles or even triples.
But unknowingly, Catherine's expansion has touched the cake of other monopolies.
Motorola had already invented the pager at this time, and was at the peak of its rise, with unparalleled success. In addition, the other party cooperated closely with the Pentagon, and antitrust sanctions were unlikely to fall on them.
To be honest, Catherine didn't want to get into trouble with this company, but since the other party had come to the door, Catherine had to fight back.
