Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

"You have been hit by Tian Boguang's Blast Sword Technique, you will lose 100 blood!"

"You have been hit by Xiao Longnu's jade girl sword technique, you will lose 100 blood!"

"You have been hit by Yan Shisan's thirteen deadly swords, you will lose 100 blood!"

"..."

"You died from blood loss!"

Seeing the prompts flashing on the computer screen one after another, Zhou Haimei, who was unwilling to be beaten to death by the crowd, immediately said with two fingers: "The more bully the less, he is not a hero, he has the ability to single out!"

After waiting for a long time, the other party did not reply, Zhou Haimei took all her anger on Xu Cun's head and said, "I blame you, if you came to help me earlier, would I be beaten by them?"

Xu Cun directly stretched out his hand to pinch Zhou Haimei's nose, and said: "If you, a heroine, insisted on sneaking up on Tian Boguang to kill your women, would you be beaten by others? Also, if you didn't occupy my computer, Am I still not online yet?"

Zhou Haimei glanced at Weng Hong who was helping Xu Cun open another laptop from the corner of his eye, and then stopped talking.

The laptop that Zhou Haimei is playing with and the one that Weng Hong is opening are both T1000 launched by Toshiba this year. They use Intel8086 CPU, 512KB RAM, and have a 9-inch monochrome display. There is no hard disk and they can run MS-DOS. operating system. In a sense, this can be regarded as the world's first notebook computer (there is also a saying that Compaq launched a notebook computer in November 1982, weighing 28 pounds (about 14 kg), should be regarded as the earliest prototype of the notebook computer. There is also a saying that a laptop computer called PCConvertible developed by IBM this year is the real "father of the notebook computer".).

The game Zhou Haimei is playing is a MUD created by a few college students. Its full name is multipleuserdialogue, which translates into Chinese as a multiplayer dialogue system. In the 1990s, there was a more affectionate name in the mainland called "Qitang". It can be regarded as the earliest online game, and it can also be called a word online game. This thing has appeared abroad as early as a few years ago. I don't know where those college students got the relevant technical materials. In order to attract popularity for the BBS forum they created, they set up a "quit" with the background of martial arts-the most popular BBS forum in the mainland was in In the 1990s, it was actually invented by two Chicago computer enthusiasts as early as 1978. They later introduced their invention in "Bit" magazine, and the electronic bulletin board system became popular in the United States in the late 1970s.

This kind of text online game had already declined when Xu Cun came into contact with the Internet. He had only heard some related legends. For example, there was a very popular game at Peking University called "Peking University Heroes". Of course, it is not easy for ordinary people to play this thing, at least you must have certain programming knowledge, because this kind of MUD game is played by inputting commands.

For example, the martial arts MUD that Zhou Haimei is playing now requires dozens of command codes to operate.

Of course, it is still only in the development stage, and those college students will definitely simplify these commands in the future.

Speaking of which, whether it is Zhou Haimei who can play this martial arts MUD, or those few college students who can set up this martial arts MUD, we all have to thank Xu Cun——Because of the filming of "The Matrix", Xu Cun used his relationship in the United States to As the first node of Xiangjiang, DreamWorks Film and Television City is connected to the Arpanet system, so that Xiangjiang's electronic computers have the opportunity to interconnect with other computers on the Arpanet around the world. Moreover, in order not to let his DreamWorks become a lone army, but also to brush up his reputation in various colleges in Xiangjiang, and to help him cultivate some talents, Xu Cun also spent money to help Xiangjiang University, Chinese University, and Xiangjiang Polytechnic. Colleges and universities in Xiangjiang, such as colleges and universities, have also entered the Internet age.

but--

The current Internet is different from the Internet of the previous life. The Internet in the previous life generally refers to the World Wide Web (WWW) invented by Dr. Tim Berners-Lee, while the current Internet refers to Arpanet (ARPA).

Arpanet was first developed and researched by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The word ARPA is the English abbreviation of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. It was originally only the internal communication network of the US Department of Defense. With the continuous development and maturity of technology, it allowed external universities, scientific research institutions, and commercial organizations to access it. In 1975, it was interconnected with satellites to achieve global connectivity.

It is not easy to establish a node and connect to Arpanet in Hong Kong, a place far away from the United States and Europe. Hong Kong Telephone Company has not yet started laying optical fibers in Hong Kong, and there is no submarine cable yet. The nodes of DreamWorks Film and Television City want to connect To enter the Arpanet in the United States, it must be transmitted through satellites, which is not a small fee. In addition, Xu Cun has to invest a lot of maintenance fees every year. The most important thing is that it is not very useful to connect to the Arpanet, which is not yet very mature-the biggest convenience brought by connecting to the Arpanet is to communicate with people who are also connected to the Arpanet by sending and receiving emails , but this immature e-mail is not as powerful as a fax machine.

That is to say, Xu Cun, a local tyrant who has money and recognition, spends a lot of money at this stage to let Xiangjiang enter the Internet era that is of little use in advance.

Playing martial arts MUD with Zhou Haimei until four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Cun took Zhou Haimei and Weng Hong to DreamWorks Hotel for lunch.

On the way to eat.

When Weng Hong went to the bathroom, Zhou Haimei pretended to ask Xu Cun casually: "Are you picking on me?"

Xu Cun glanced at Zhou Haimei who was pretending to bow his head to eat, and said frankly, "Yes."

After hearing Xu Cun's answer, Zhou Haimei's body trembled obviously! Immediately, Zhou Haimei continued to pretend to eat.

Seeing this, Xu Cun went on to say: "In order to play games with you, I postponed two more important meetings and a dinner." After a pause, Xu Cun said softly: "A Mei, I am sincere to you !"

After a long silence, Zhou Haimei asked Xu Cun vaguely: "What do you like about me?"

Xu Cun replied softly without hesitation: "I like everything!"

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Haimei said in a low voice: "I was born with low platelets, and a slight bump will cause blood to bruise easily and leave scars. The doctor told me that if I give birth to a child in the future, it will be very dangerous, life-threatening, and hemorrhage. So I probably won't bear you a baby."

Xu Cun shook his head slightly, and said: "It's a pity, but you also know that I already have more than thirty children, so I won't dislike you just because you can't give me children."

Hearing Xu Cun mentioning that he had more than 30 children, Zhou Haimei hesitated and said, "Why don't you let me think about it?"
