The principal laughed loudly: "I am a talent in this field. I also have a background in science and engineering. I study communication engineering. I am the leader of the university network construction steering group. Well, the leader of South China University of Technology."
Jiang Hua frowned. He can be regarded as an expert in this field, but this team leader is from South China University of Technology. How much water there is is unknown.
Under the enthusiastic leadership of the principal, Jiang Hua arrived at a brand-new building. There was a security guard standing at the door with an electric baton in his hand and a gun behind his back.
"This is the computer room we just built a while ago." The principal took the lead and walked in. Before entering the computer room, he had to put on headgear, footmuffs and change into a white coat.
The principal smiled and said: "As a boss who invests in semiconductor research, you should also know that this thing is afraid of dust and static electricity. The machines here were bought by our South China University of Technology out of our pockets, so we have to take care of them."
Jiang Hua, who traveled from later generations, would naturally not have this understanding. He has played with countless computers, and he has eliminated several of them. When he opened the case, there was a thick layer of dust inside, but he could still run it. game.
But looking at the principal's posture, he couldn't get in without changing his clothes. Out of respect for them, Jiang Hua also put on a full set of clothes.
The principal then led Jiang Hua into the computer room with a smile. There was no super computer or super server. There was a row of relatively simple servers in the computer room, and there were also messy lines and more than 20 computers.
"This is optical fiber and servers, all provided by your wh research institute. They are amazing. They are able to develop such scientific research products with simple equipment. They are all heroes."
Jiang Hua smiled awkwardly. He felt that the old principal had a misunderstanding about the institute. This was not the development of two bombs and one satellite. The equipment of the institute could be said to be the best in China. Even the Galaxy Super Brain project had to borrow it. .
Jiang Hua saw that some people were studying the underlying protocols, some were communicating with other universities, and some were doing various experiments.
The most primitive text communication, there were no chat rooms or emails at this time, let alone QQ and MSN.
The principal said proudly: "We are currently conducting research on the underlying communication protocol. This is a project initiated by South China University of Technology."
Jiang Hua smiled and said, "You'd better communicate more with the research institute. The research institute has already been studying this project."
The principal said with some embarrassment: "Really? The research institute didn't say anything. They can merge them for research and save manpower and material resources."
"Maybe it's because it's 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 in the world. You must keep it secret and don't let ambitious people steal it."
The principal took Jiang Hua to visit every corner of the laboratory. Every scientific research plan was introduced in detail, and he really knew everything about Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua joked: "Principal, you are too enthusiastic. You told me everything. Do you have a plan?"
The principal said proudly: "Old man, I have been clean-sleeved and upright all my life. What can I do for it? It's just for money. The school's research funds are indeed not much, so I can only count on you, a rich man, to show me a little of your fingers."
Jiang Hua was completely amused by the old principal's expression.
"Research funding is no problem, but things are different now. I don't have the final say on this matter alone."
The principal waved his hand, interrupted Jiang Hua's speech, and then said pitifully: "Don't think that my old man is ignorant of what's going on outside the window. I have inquired about it a long time ago. I thought you were cooperating with these universities, but you were alone. It’s been negotiated with others, why aren’t you the only one who has the final say?”
】
Jiang Hua smiled and said: "The old man's intelligence work is good, but I was authorized by the company at that time. The main reason I came to you this time was to look at the network construction issues. The company did not authorize me to discuss scientific research projects. thing."
"You mean it's just a matter of procedure."
Jiang Hua nodded at him: "I will write an application when I get back. It's not a big problem. I will give you a reply within half a month. At that time, I will send someone to negotiate with your school."
"If you had said this earlier, wouldn't it have been fine? Then old man, I'll be waiting for you."
After a detailed investigation, Jiang Hua could confirm that this university network was not even the prototype of the Internet, and could only be regarded as an embryo at most.
"I'm wondering, your network must have a root server, right?"
The old principal savored the words root server, nodded and said: "This word is used well. We use the total 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 is a good idea, but the wh institute is not suitable as the root server address."
"What's inappropriate? I'm not complimenting you. Your research institute is among the top in the country in terms of talent allocation. I think it's best to put it there. It's both convenient for management and research."
Jiang Hua shook his head: "That's not how things look. This network is not only available in our country, but also in ugly countries, and also in Europe. You should also know about our country's open attitude. It will definitely be connected to the networks of other countries in the future. , 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 place it in the wh institute. It is more suitable to place it in our school. It is not only on the coast, but also the southernmost tip of the motherland and relatively close to foreign countries. .”
"I can hear clearly what you are doing in Xiangjiang, old man." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "If we want to connect to foreign countries in the future, it is not my company that can decide where to put the root server." No, it has to be decided by the country, so where to put it is not up to me, nor is it up to you."
"I am considering the overall situation." The old principal said righteously: "You must not think that I am acting selfishly, because from the overall perspective, I think there is no place better than our school."
"Okay, we've seen it and talked about it, so I'll leave first."
"You're here now. If you don't have a meal at our school, people will say we don't know how to treat guests."
Jiang Hua waved his hand: "No, I'm here for a visit, and you blackmail me for a scientific research fund. If I have another meal, I'll have to double the money for you."
