The years of red flags

The principal laughed loudly: "I am a talent in this field. I also have a background in science and engineering and study communication engineering. I am the team leader of the University Network Construction Steering Group, um, the team leader of South China University of Technology."

Jiang Hua frowned. He can be regarded as an expert in this field, but the team leader is the team leader of South China University of Technology, so it is not known how much moisture there is.

Under the enthusiastic leadership of the principal, Jiang Hua came to a brand-new building with a security guard standing at the door, holding an electric baton in his hand, and seemed to have a gun behind him.

"This is the new computer room we just built." The headmaster took the lead to go in. Before entering the computer room, he had to put on a hood and foot cover, and put on a white coat.

The principal smiled and said: "You are the boss who invests in semiconductor research, and you should know that this thing is afraid of dust and static electricity. The machines here were bought by South China University of Technology with all our money, so we have to take care of it."

Jiang Hua, who traveled from later ages, would naturally not have this kind of cognition. He has played with countless computers, and he eliminated several of them. When he opened the case, there was a thick layer of dust inside, and he could still run. game.

But judging by the headmaster's posture, he couldn't get in without changing his clothes. Out of respect for them, Jiang Hua also changed into a full set of outfits.

Then the principal smiled and led Jiang Hua into the computer room. There was no super computer or super server. There was a row of relatively simple servers in the computer room. In addition, there were messy lines and more than 20 computers.

"This is the optical fiber and the server. They are all provided by your WH Research Institute. They are amazing. With simple equipment, they can develop such scientific research products. They are all heroes."

Jiang Hua smiled awkwardly. He felt that the old principal had misunderstood the research institute. This is not the development of two bombs and one satellite. The equipment of the research institute can be said to be the best in China, and even the Galaxy Ultrain project has to be borrowed. .

Jiang Hua saw that some people were studying the underlying protocols, some were communicating with other universities, and there were various experiments.

The most primitive text communication, there was no chat room or email at this time, let alone QQ and MSN.

The principal said proudly: "We are now conducting research on the underlying communication protocol. This is a project initiated by South China University of Technology."

Jiang Hua said with a smile: "You should communicate more with the research institute. The research institute has already conducted research on this project."

The headmaster said with some embarrassment: "Really? The research institute didn't say anything, and they can combine research to save manpower and material resources."

"It may be because it is in the confidentiality stage and has not been told to the outside world."

The principal smiled and nodded: "That's right, I know this is a new topic for the whole world, we must keep it secret, and don't let ambitious people steal it."

The principal took Jiang Hua to visit every corner of the laboratory, and gave a detailed introduction to each scientific research plan. He really knew everything about Jiang Hua and talked endlessly.

Jiang Hua joked: "Principal, you are too enthusiastic, you have told me everything, do you have a plan?"

The headmaster said proudly: "Old man, I've been upright all my life. What can I do? I want money. The school's research funding is really not much. I can only hope that you, a rich man, will show me a little bit of your fingers."

Jiang Hua was thoroughly amused by the old principal's expression.

"There is no problem with research funding, but it is different now. I am not the only one who has the final say on this matter."

The principal waved his hand, interrupted Jiang Hua's speech, and then said pitifully: "Don't think that my old man is deaf to what's going on outside the window. I've already asked about it. I think you cooperated with these universities at the beginning, but you were alone. Just negotiate with others, why is it not you who has the final say?"

Jiang Hua said with a smile: "The old man's intelligence work is good, but at that time I was authorized by the company. I came to you this time mainly to look at the problem of network construction. The company did not authorize me to discuss scientific research projects. things."

"What you mean is the formalities."

Jiang Hua nodded to him: "I will write an application when I go back. It's not a big problem. I will give you an answer within half a month. Then I will send someone to negotiate with your school."

"If you had said that earlier, wouldn't it be fine? Then I will wait for you, old man."

After a detailed investigation, Jiang Hua can confirm that this university network is not even the prototype of the Internet, at most it can only be regarded as an embryo.

"I wonder, your network must have a root server, right?"

The old principal tasted the four words root server, nodded and said: "This word is used well. We use the main server to describe it. It is in your research institute in Wuhan. In the future, our universities will serve as Node servers are scaling out."

"The node server is the auxiliary root server. You have to be right. This idea is good, but the WH Institute is not suitable as the root server address."

"What's inappropriate? I'm not complimenting you. Your research institute is the top in the country in terms of talent allocation. I think it's best to put it there, which is convenient for management and research."

Jiang Hua shook his head: "That's not how you look at it. This network not only exists in our country, but also in ugly countries and Europe. You should also know that our country has an open attitude. In the future, it will definitely be connected to the networks of other countries. , the institute is too inland.”

The principal frowned and thought for a while and said, "From this point of view, it is really not suitable to be placed in the WH Institute, but it is more suitable to be placed in our school, which belongs to the coastal area and the southernmost tip of the motherland, and is relatively close to foreign countries. .”

"Your old man's abacus is dialed, and I can hear it clearly in Xiangjiang." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "If you want to connect to foreign countries in the future, it is not up to me to decide where to put the root server. That’s right, it has to be decided by the country, so where to put it, I don’t count, and your old man doesn’t count.”

"I'm considering the overall situation." The old principal said righteously: "You must not think that I am acting out of selfishness, because from the overall perspective, I think there is no place better than our school."

"Okay, I've seen it, I've talked about it, then I'll go first."

"You're here now. If you don't have a meal at our school, if you talk about it, people will say that we don't know how to treat guests."

Jiang Hua waved his hand: "No, if I visit your place, you will blackmail me a sum of scientific research funds. If I have another meal, I will have to double the money."
