Blooming America

Chapter 282

East-West Internet is connected

Following news reports, the news quickly spread throughout the United States.

Connecting the east coast and the west coast, the Pacific and Atlantic can communicate and flow at any time

The media has an object of hype overnight.

Some even discovered that the Internet is actually divided into military and civilian use. The military network is even said to be closely linked to the nuclear reaction mechanism.

Suddenly, rumors about the "Internet" began to become more and more popular. Incidentally, the computer rooms and Internet cafes of various universities were also overcrowded. According to the current information, the number of people who registered the Internet ID has exceeded 10,000. , And the number of registrations is increasing every day.

The development of the Internet is so swift and violent that it seems to have suddenly become a hot thing.

If Catherine's American telecommunications company goes public, it will definitely make a lot of money.

But there are also people who are not optimistic about the Internet. Some people think that the function of the Internet is duplicated with the function of a telephone, and that the price of a computer is much higher than that of a telephone, and it can only pass the text stream, so this kind of thing is likely to be eliminated in the end.

Of course, Catherine sneered at this idea. The Internet is completely different from traditional communication tools.

Humans are social creatures, and the Internet is like establishing a virtual society, no matter who it is, can enter this place.

Real-name authentication is used for Internet access licenses, which is conducive to the good development of the Internet.

At this time, American Telecom and Apple Computer announced that they will jointly develop a cloud system. With the support of the Internet, everyone can have a cheap computer...

This plan was just announced and it caused a sensation.

——Users can own a computer with a maximum of US dollars

Of course, this so-called "computer" is somewhat different from a real personal computer. First of all, there is almost no real hardware in such a computer. Almost all calculations are given to the computer at the same level on the Internet. After the user leaves the Internet, his computer is just an empty shell.

As soon as the news came out, IBm became entangled and soon held a board of directors.

Watson originally planned to discuss how to deal with the aRk Group's big moves at the meeting, but other directors did not pay attention to the news of aRk cloth. They were very optimistic.

"The highest degree of their class computer now is only tens of millions of times. Even if it is optimized for multi-tasking, such a computer can't do much..."

Some people look very relaxed.

"It's not necessarily." Watson said with a stern face, "They must have better computers."

"But what's the use? Unless they increase the computing power by ten times, they can meet the basic needs, but such a powerful computer, if you want to do not lose money, it is already very remarkable."

Yes, if it is a high-level computer, it is undoubtedly a good thing for users. They can buy a computer at a low price. As for the computer sold by IBm in Japan, the price is also above US dollars.

But what are the benefits for the aRk Group itself if personal computers continue to be popularized in this way?

"No... not like this..."

Watson saw something vaguely.

"……the Internet?"

Someone murmured suddenly.

"Yes, the Internet" Watson suddenly realized, "They are expanding the influence of the Internet. If everyone is using the Internet, then things are different."

"Mr. Watson, you are too worried. The cost of fiber optic networks is high. Although it looks very prosperous now, I believe that after a few years, the Internet will start to lose money, and then lose again and again, and finally go bankrupt. This way. The cost of one of the things is too high, and the users it targets are ordinary people, it is impossible to sell like our computers..."

Some people on the board are too optimistic.

"Their Internet has no other source of income except for operating fees and one-time access fees. However, they need to maintain a huge server. What can they do except at a loss?"

"Yes, they have made a compromise with our mainframe, and I believe their capital chain must be very tight."

Somehow, Watson felt that the aRk Group's compromise on mainframes was a trap, but he couldn't tell what this trap was. But whenever someone mentions it, the first reaction is not excited about such a successful product, but rather an incomparable headache.

The aRk Group’s approach is too weird.

Why does Microsoft want to help? Why is it clear that he has already opened his posture and prepared for a big fight, but has given up at the critical moment?

"We should expand the Japanese market. The current Japanese market is very important to us."

Another comment was made.

Watson also nodded. The Japanese market has just opened, and IBm's cheap computers are very popular. This simple 8-bit computer is really new to Japanese people who have never been in touch with computers.

But when it comes to the Japanese market, Watson is a bit troubled.

——Because x will soon be listed on 6 Japan.

aRk, aRk, aRk...

It seems that no matter what I am doing, these three letters keep floating and spinning in front of me... This is really depressing.

When Watson had a headache, another group of people also felt a headache about the news.

For example, for Comrade Androv, the leader of the KGB, the news is not so good.

——The network is connected to the US military base. As long as it is in the possession, the military is like a face-to-face flow.

Fortunately, the Americans did not tie the nuclear bomb to the Internet, otherwise things would be troublesome. But Androv is also not sure whether the US military will do this-there are already rumors about this in the United States, and it seems to be conclusive. But officially, they don't seem to have much action. At least the KGB spies they had penetrated did not reveal anything suspicious.

And Androv is also very afraid that the Americans will connect the nuclear button to the Internet.

When Kennedy was still alive, he once ordered the United States to study a "nuclear suitcase". With this nuclear suitcase, the Americans could have a high nuclear reaction mechanism. Once the Soviet Union decided to preempt the Americans, the Americans could also be very capable. React quickly.

The contents of the "nuclear suitcase" have always been a "state secret" of the United States. Even for the KGB, it is difficult to find the contents of this suitcase, which is almost inseparable from the president of the United States.

Androv attaches great importance to the Internet in the United States.

Not only him, but even Brezhnev has a great interest in this thing.

"I feel as if the entire Soviet Union is under my control." When Brezhnev saw it, he was so emotional.

Androv took a sip of tea, then closed the papers.

His body was a little unwell, so he stood up and moved a little bit, then he sat down again and continued to review the documents.

"the Internet……"

This thing is actually being done in the Soviet Union, but after seeing the rumor on the Internet forum in the United States, Brezhnev decided not to open the Soviet network to the outside world, but to build a "great Soviet". A network of services.

Androv instinctively felt that the Internet is a good thing and should not be so restricted. Although he is Brezhnev’s confidant, he did not put forward some opinions to the other party...because he really didn’t know how to treat it like this. Of a product.

Managing the Internet is troublesome, this is the conclusion drawn by experts from Moscow University.

Since it is troublesome to manage, it is better not to go abroad. It only exists as a secret weapon of the Soviet Union. Isn't this a wonderful thing?

In addition, the Soviet Union still uses traditional cables, which can save a lot of cost. There is nothing more bang than this.

Although it was a little careless at the beginning ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ leaked out the intelligence, but so far, the Soviet Union's Internet intelligence is still tightly blocked, netbsp; just like the KGB infiltrated the United States, the United States There were also spies who entered the Soviet Union. But a is still too tender, so the information they can steal is very limited.

The Siberian route is half completed, which is good news for Androv, and he believes it will be the same for Brezhnev. Once the Siberian route is completed, Moscow will have the ability to command and control the Far East at any time. The two sides can communicate at any time, and it is very intuitive and convenient. This is of great help in consolidating the strategic situation in the Far East. After all, the contradiction between the Soviet Union and a country to the south of them is getting bigger and bigger recently...

At the thought of the country to the south, Androv was a little emotional. Fighting with the United Nations has beaten the United States to the ground. Fighting with India has almost wiped out this big country, which has the support of the Soviet Union and the United States and was once regarded as a "power"...

Although the other party is also socialist, the two sides are now drifting away. Who knows if the other party will go to war with oneself?

Androv smiled, and then continued to devote himself to the intense work. He is the chairman of the KGB, and his job is not only related to the "Internet"...
