Ten years of the Grand Duke.

Zhu Jingyuan accepted and accepted the supercomputer and believed that the foundation of Ming Dynasty's semiconductor and computer industries had been laid.

Therefore, the next step is to gradually open up semiconductor-related industries to the private sector.

But before that happens, there's an equally important job to do.

With reference to the original Aviation Industry Association, Automobile and Machinery Industry Association, a Semiconductor and Computer Industry Association was established.

Zhu Jingyuan asked all four major industrial groups in the imperial court to join the association to share basic patents and authorizations.

Jointly develop unified technical standards and industry specifications.

At the same time, direct orders were issued, and all four major industrial groups participated in industry construction.

The Royal Consortium, Daming Consortium, Huangzhuang Group, and New Industry Group all want to build a complete industrial chain.

Huangzhuang used to be engaged in land, agriculture, and minerals, but now it is also being pulled into semiconductors.

The four major groups must build at least one lithography machine factory to be responsible for developing and upgrading new generation lithography machines and supporting tools.

Build at least two photolithography factories, one of which will cooperate with the photolithography machine factory and be responsible for researching the most cutting-edge cutting-edge processes.

One uses the most mature process to produce large quantities of conventional chips to supply the market's demand for conventional chips.

Both lithography factories are open to all customers for foundry manufacturing.

The four major industrial groups must have complete R&D and production capabilities.

Able to independently design and produce key chips such as microprocessors, graphics chips, memory and flash memory chips.

They also need to be able to design and produce typical supporting chips such as network cards and sound cards, as well as LCD panels that are the core of display devices.

The products and structures of the four major industrial groups can be different, but they must be compatible with other manufacturers' products.

The group that is the first to succeed in technological research needs the other three groups to unconditionally open up their technology and experience.

But you can get a certain percentage of technology licensing fees for all products produced by the other party of this generation.

Specific hard drives, graphics cards, sound cards, motherboards, monitors, etc., these non-core final products for end customers, the four major industrial groups can choose whether to make them according to the situation.

If private manufacturers have accumulated corresponding capabilities, they can take over the work of these products.

The final industrial layout of the entire industry will be quite similar to Zhu Jingyuan's previous life.

The design of advanced microprocessors and graphics chips is the most complex upstream industry in this industry, and it is not something that ordinary manufacturers can do.

This requires a large amount of capital and resource support, and is a category with natural monopoly potential.

In other words, if you don't take the initiative to control it, someone else will eventually control the entire industry, and you, the sponsor, may be controlled by others.

Lithography machine factories and photolithography factories are similar. The cost is too high and the difficulty is too great, so small private businessmen are simply unable to participate.

Those who are able to participate will have the opportunity to participate in the final competition for industry monopoly status.

Therefore, the four major industrial groups with official background directly took control, instead of allowing private manufacturers to slowly take care of themselves.

Private manufacturers can design various special and personalized chips, let the royal family and government-run photolithography factories produce them, and then sell them on the market.

However, most of them directly use the chips of the New Industry Group to produce specific products.

The final graphics card and network card brand manufacturers sold in the market in previous lives are the ones they have the opportunity and ability to obtain.

With the basic foundation of traditional semiconductor and computer industries, we will then come up with existing military radio communication technology.

Then we can start to develop relatively cheap civilian mobile communication equipment.

In other words, it is "mobile phone"

In an era when semiconductor processes are still a few hundred nanometers, it is too early to talk about smartphones.

However, the research and development of traditional feature phones can already begin.

Therefore, while arranging the deployment of the semiconductor industry, Zhu Jingyuan instructed the Semiconductor Department of the Ministry of Industry to launch a civilian mobile communication equipment project.

Started developing mobile phones and developing mobile network standards simultaneously.

The eleventh year of the Grand Duke.

The "Semiconductor Factory" affiliated to the Semiconductor Department under the Ministry of Industry has completed research on the 300-nanometer process.

The Army of the Ming Dynasty began to build a test optical fiber project for direct Internet connection between the north and south Beijing.

The Ming Navy began to try to deploy submarine optical cables between islands for Internet communications.

"Daming Fantasy Simulation Company", a subsidiary of the New Industry Group, was registered, and Zhudi Pu was transferred to the deputy manager of the company's development department.

"Fantasy Company" began to develop the first large-scale "fantasy" game. After simple consideration, Zhudi Pu naturally chose the theme of the Three Kingdoms.

"Material Supply Company", a subsidiary of the Royal Family Foundation, and "Daeming Supply Group", a subsidiary of the Daeming Foundation, began to design websites.

These two companies are responsible for ensuring the supply of basic materials in the Ming Dynasty. According to later generations, they are supply chain companies and they also engage in retail.

In newly developed colonies, newly built cities and settlements, they are often the first to go there and conduct business.

Zhu Jingyuan asked them to build an online shopping website while the Internet was being hypothesized.

It also asked Daming Bank to directly start developing guaranteed payment instruments.

The Daming Internet Center established a new department and began to build index management web pages and search engines.

The twelfth year of the Grand Duke's reign.

Semiconductor factories have completed research on the 200-nanometer process.

The design of the fourth-generation 64-bit processor is completed, and the number of calculations per second exceeds one billion.

The second level cache is added, the power consumption limit is relaxed, and the processing pipeline is lengthened.

The operating frequency greatly exceeds the limit of the previous generation, starting directly from 200 million times per second (200MHz)

The infrastructure construction of the four major industrial groups has been completed, the photolithography machine factory and the photolithography factory have been put into production, and the process node has temporarily reached 300 nanometers.

The LCD panel factories of the four major industrial groups were put into operation, starting to produce the most basic small-size products and increasing their scale.

The capacity of a single memory particle has been increased to 32 million words, equivalent to 64MB.

The maximum capacity of flash memory particles exceeds 500 million words, which is 1GB capacity.

The direct Internet connection test project between northern and southern Beijing in Ming Dynasty was completed.

The Ming Army began to deploy backbone optical fibers between major cities in the core areas of the country.

Mobile communication network technology standards are compiled, and test network equipment and terminal equipment are also produced.

The construction of mobile communication networks has been handed over to the Army, which has the largest number of personnel.

The production and upgrading of mobile phones and supporting network equipment are naturally handed over to the four major industrial groups.

However, mobile communication networks are based on ground base stations, which are relatively more suitable for deployment and use in places with sufficient populations.

In addition to the normal residential areas of the Ming Dynasty, there is an extremely large uninhabited wilderness in the interior.

Occasionally, some people will take the initiative to explore and hunt in no-man's land, and some will even try to live in seclusion.

There are also Ming Dynasty official exploration, archaeological, research, and patrol personnel who occasionally operate in no-man's land.

So these uninhabited wilderness also have basic communication needs.

If traditional mobile communication networks are used to cover these uninhabited areas, not only will the final construction costs and effects be uncontrollable, but it will also be impossible to generate revenue.

False moon-satellite communication is the best choice in this environment.

The Ming Dynasty already has technology related to false moon communication, and several groups of specialized communication satellites have been placed in the sky.

However, it is currently purely for military use, and there are not enough satellites and loans to open it to civilians.

Therefore, after the mobile phone and mobile communication network planning is finalized, the planning of the civilian false moon communication project must also start simultaneously.

This project was naturally handed over to the Air Force, which is also responsible for space exploration.

Zhu Jingyuan also told the four major industrial groups that all mainstream mobile phones produced in the future must have fake moon communication functions.

The thirteenth year of the Grand Duke.

The semiconductor process of the four major groups has been simultaneously upgraded to 200 nanometers.

The main government offices in the core areas of the Ming Dynasty began to configure office computers and the Internet.

The army began to build mobile communication base stations in the core cities of Ming Dynasty.

Mass-produced personal computers produced by New Industries Group began to be publicly sold in major core cities.

The processor used in the computer is the same as the supercomputer Zhu Jingyuan experienced three years ago, and the process has been upgraded to 300 nanometers.

However, the number of accounting tables (memory slots) has been reduced to four, and two 50 million-word accounting tables (memory banks) are installed by default, which is equivalent to a total of 256MB.

You can upgrade to four memory sticks for extra money, supporting up to four identical memory sticks, with a total capacity equivalent to 512MB in the previous generation.

One fast library (solid-state drive) is installed by default, and only eight flash memory particles are used. The capacity is reduced to one billion words, equivalent to 2GB.

Used to install the operating system and main program software.

There is also only one mechanical hard drive installed, with a capacity of 8 billion words, equivalent to 16GB.

The graphics card is also a chip from three years ago. The process has been upgraded to 300 nanometers, and the memory capacity has been reduced to 64 million words, equivalent to 128MB.

The standard display is a six-point LCD screen with a resolution of 1200×800.

There are also quick-plug interfaces for additional hard drives and game cards.

The final public sale price was five hundred silver coins.

According to Zhu Jingyuan's experience when he was young, if converted into the purchasing power of RMB in his previous life, five hundred silver notes would be equivalent to 50,000 RMB in his previous life.

This is definitely very expensive.

Even without conversion, it is still a very expensive product based on the discounted price of the goods on the Daming market.

The minimum wage stipulated by the Ming Dynasty court is thirty silver notes per month.

The wages of unskilled workers who have just entered the industry are also at this level.

With some skills and a few years of service, you can earn a salary of around 50 silver coins.

The wages of lower-level managers can reach just over one hundred silver coins.

Nowadays, the price of a piece of rayon blended fabric in Ming Dynasty has dropped by more than one silver coin from about three to four silver coins twenty years ago.

If ordinary people are willing to make their own clothes, this banknote can make at least three sets of serious clothes.

But if you don’t have the skills and tools yourself and want to find a specialized tailor to do it, you’ll have to spend a few dollars more on the craftsmanship fee.

Because professional tailors are skilled workers, even those who have just started working can earn more than fifty silver coins per month.

A tailor may not be able to complete a custom-made suit of clothing in one day.

Calculated this way, the cost of hiring someone to do the work has more than tripled compared to twenty years ago.

Therefore, if you go to a garment store to buy finished products, the price will also increase along with the labor costs.

Now one silver coin can buy a pair of boots or a serious robe.

Now I can only buy some middle coats, belts, and accessories.

After buying a serious outfit, I basically started with ten silver coins.

In terms of household facilities, a household air conditioner costs thirty or forty silver coins, which is a month's wages of the lowest worker.

Common entry-level car prices range from 300 to 600 silver notes.

Nowadays, the computer of the New Industry Group is a machine that is placed on the table and can only be used for entertainment most of the time at home. The retail price is actually the same as that of a car.

It is equivalent to one year’s wages of middle-class workers.

This is definitely insanely expensive stuff.

Most ordinary workers have little interest in this thing.

However, the owners and managers of private manufacturers know its function, which is a super-evolved version of the previous mainframe computer.

However, according to their understanding, a total of business houses only need one such computer, and they have not thought about letting ordinary office clerks also use computers.

So eventually some computers were sold to factories and businesses.

There are also some high-income people who buy them to experience at home.

It has little to do with the ordinary working class for the time being.

Therefore, New Industry Group builds computer and Internet halls in major cities to allow urban residents to experience personal computer games and Internet functions.

The construction standards are similar to those common in urban teahouses.

Private manufacturers are allowed to invest in similar forms of industries, but they must implement the same strict standards as new industry groups.

Everyone must use their own identity number to register an account before they can use it.

Just like the various industries that Zhu Jingyuan has led and participated in, industry rules and management norms have been formulated preventively from the beginning.

Limit the impact of various adverse factors on the industry as much as possible.

The "Daming Internet Center" website is online and is a derivative of Daming's physical Internet Center.

The existing main general URLs are listed directly on the page, and you can jump directly with a mouse click.

The shopping websites of "Material Supply Company" and "Daming Supply Group" are also online.

The "Daming Bank Guaranteed Payment" tool was also launched simultaneously.

There is no large-scale express delivery system in Ming Dynasty, so the products currently sold by shopping websites are mainly large items that have to be delivered to your door.

For example, large commodities such as refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, and furniture.

It is completely different from Zhu Jingyuan’s previous Internet shopping model. It can even be regarded as the opposite.

It is not about allowing small businesses or even individuals to sell cheap goods casually and gradually increase sales.

Instead, "Huangshang Guoshang" sells large-ticket items online.

After ordering, the traditional logistics system is used, and the original local suppliers and warehouses deliver the goods.

You can pay online with guaranteed payment or choose cash on delivery for added peace of mind.

To some extent it's just one more process of choosing on the Internet.

Also launched simultaneously is the “Internet Entertainment Market”.

Start selling electronic data, music, and video products on the Internet.

and the latest fantasy simulation game products.

The first-generation Romance of the Three Kingdoms simulation game from Huanmo Company, where Judy Plutonium works, was also launched simultaneously.

It is sold through dedicated game cartridges and online downloads.

The Semiconductor and Computer Industry Association began to organize various publicity activities to call on private manufacturers to participate in the investment and construction of the semiconductor industry.

It is clear that the attitude is to bring down the cost of personal computers.

When cars first came on the market, they were a luxury item worth several thousand dollars, but now they cost hundreds of dollars.

Even someone who could only earn the minimum wage stipulated by the court could buy one a year.

The fourteenth year of the Grand Duke's reign.

The Ming Dynasty Air Force completed space animal experiments.

The semiconductor process has been upgraded to 150 nanometers.

The fifth-generation 64-bit processing design is completed, and the number of calculations per second reaches 3 billion, which is close to the Pentium IV in history.

The operating frequency reaches 300 million times per second.

The memory particle capacity reaches 64 million words, which is 128MB.

The first batch of "mobile phones" began to be tried out internally by people with real needs in official organizations.

Computer halls were opened in major cities one after another, and this special market quickly became popular.

The main reason is computer games.

The most popular game is the Three Kingdoms game developed by Judy Plutonium.

The game mode is actually very simple, similar to the early Three Kingdoms that Zhu Jingyuan played in his previous life.

Operate on a flat map, choose a city as your lord, then recruit generals and soldiers to conquer the city and conquer the land, and finally unify the world.

Although this game seemed quite crude to Zhu Jingyuan, ordinary people in Ming Dynasty at this time had never played computer games.

What they experience when they get started is a function that exceeds that of the PS generation game console.

The impact of controlling a force by yourself and participating in the process of unifying the world is really outrageous.

Not only did it lead to the rapid popularity and expansion of computer halls, it also allowed wealthy people who had little interest in computers to buy them directly back home.

These people became the first generation of people to own computers in the Ming Dynasty.

Huanmo Company also launched a handheld small game console, which installed various small games developed in the early years.

The result has been incredible commercial success and has become something that both adults and children love to play.

A large number of private investors began to register and open factories in the semiconductor industry.

A large number of "fantasy simulation" type firms, that is, game development firms, also quickly emerged.

The fifteenth year of the Grand Duke.

The semiconductor process has been upgraded to 110 nanometers.

New Industries Group launched a new personal computer this year.

It uses a fourth-generation sixty-four-bit processor and is manufactured using a 150-nanometer process.

All other parameters have doubled compared to the first generation two years ago, but the price still remains at five hundred silver notes.

The original old products, as well as the newly developed new products with the same specifications, are sold for as low as 300 silver notes.

Personal computers produced by the Royal Family Foundation and the Ming Dynasty Foundation were put on the market and sold at the same price.

It claims to have the same specifications as the New Industry Group's products and is compatible with each other.

After some experience and testing, it was found that there is indeed no obvious difference.

The Ming Army and the Ming Navy were jointly responsible for launching the Ming Dynasty interconnection optical cable construction project.

The entire project is divided into two parts. The Navy is responsible for the laying of the main submarine optical cable, and the Army is responsible for the construction of the ground optical cable.

The Ming Air Force completed all technical experiments and verifications of the false moon communication project and began to formally deploy the formal false moon communications.

Mobile phones with the most basic communication functions began to be sold to private citizens in core cities on a trial basis.

There was only one type of mobile phone in the first generation, with a fixed price of one hundred silver coins.

Mobile phones are also communication devices, so they also need to be registered with a real name and bound to a personal identity number.

The personal identification number is the phone number, which can be activated directly when purchasing the phone.

Due to the booming development of the semiconductor industry, Ming's civilian mobile phones have a rather mature and compact appearance.

The size and scale of the "Big Brother" in the previous life were only used in the early days of the imperial court and the army.

Communication devices that allow you to talk to people far away anytime, anywhere and are not restricted by fixed telephone lines have great appeal to certain groups of people.

For example, businessmen, factory owners, shopkeepers and managers.

They really need this device to be able to communicate and handle their affairs at any time.

One hundred silver notes is basically nothing to them.

So the pilot sales were very successful.

Many people who have not bought it are constantly asking when the second batch will be released, and the discussion among the people is also very high.

The popularity is almost overwhelming the computers being promoted.

However, at this time, mobile phones could only make calls and send text messages, and there was no obvious functional overlap with personal computers.

Therefore, the impact of the pilot operation of mobile phones on the computer industry is relatively low.

The sixteenth year of the Grand Duke.

The semiconductor process has been upgraded to 85 nanometers.

The design of the sixth-generation sixty-four-bit processor is completed. This is also the world's first-generation dual-core processor, with the special code name "dual" enabled.

The operating frequency has been increased to 600 million times per second, and the theoretical calculation speed has exceeded 10 billion per second.

The capacity of a single memory particle has been increased to 100 million words, which is 256MB, and the memory frequency has reached 200 million times per second.

The Ming court officially launched an electronic office upgrade, starting with the full deployment of personal computers in all departments of the Central Government Office.

At the same time, the document electronics project was launched, and various old paper classics and archives were entered into the computer system to form electronic archives.

At this time, the pixels of electronic cameras and scanners have been increased to tens of millions, which is enough to capture and scan all the text in books clearly.

The scale of mobile communication networks has expanded, and the number of mobile phone sales has also increased.

More and more people in big cities are buying mobile phones.

The price of one hundred silver notes is also quite special. Even an ordinary worker can afford it after saving two months' wages.

So the actual sales scope is not limited to those with the strongest needs at all.

The actual sales speed is only limited by the speed of network construction.

The seventeenth year of the Grand Duke

The Ming Air Force completed the manned space experiment.

The semiconductor process has been upgraded to 64 nanometers.

The dual-core processor frequency exceeds one billion (1GHz) for the first time.

The four major industrial groups began to sell dual-core personal computers, and the listing price was still set at five hundred silver notes in accordance with the tradition of traditional top-level computers.

However, the huge demand and orders for office electronics in the Ming Dynasty quickly diluted the cost of computer hardware.

A large number of private manufacturers that entered the market in the past few years began to release their various simple functional products.

Although most of the products are extremely simple, they can achieve certain specialized functions and the cost is indeed very low.

Prices for less functional equipment in the industry have plummeted.

The top models of dual-core computers quickly cost less than three hundred silver coins.

After private manufacturers entered the market, the method of assembling parts also began to appear.

Some people find that they only buy core accessories such as processors, accounting tables, and graphics cards from "official manufacturers" and use "junk" from private manufacturers for other functional components.

In this way, you can build a "dual-core magic machine" with as little as one hundred silver coins.

The price of the top-grade finished machine from the official factory also continued to fall to around two hundred silver notes.

The eighteenth year of the Grand Duke

The semiconductor process has been upgraded to 45 nanometers.

The design of the second-generation dual-core processor is completed. The frequency limit jumps directly to 2 billion, and the calculation speed is also increased to 20 billion times per second.

The design of the quad-core processor is completed, and the frequency has also reached 2 billion. The theoretical calculation speed has doubled compared to the dual-core to reach 40 billion times.

Most yamen in the core cities of the Ming Dynasty were equipped with office computers and continued to expand to larger scales and lower-level departments.

The price of component assembly has dropped to less than one hundred silver coins, but the performance has increased with the improvement of technology.

Mobile communication networks have expanded to all provincial cities and relatively wealthy large prefectures, and mobile phone sales continue to rise.

The nineteenth year of the Grand Duke.

The semiconductor process has been upgraded to 32 nanometers.

Computers with quad-core processors began to be sold to the private sector, and the price of high-end complete machines from official factories reached 300 silver notes.

Dual-core machines have fallen sharply again, and high-end machines from official manufacturers cannot hold the price of 200 yuan.

Old processors and low-end models have even dropped to just over a hundred silver coins.

The price of component assembly machines also continued to drop, and products worth dozens of dollars began to appear in various places.

An ordinary Ming Dynasty worker can buy a computer with good functions for one month's wages.

Personal computers really began to become popular among people in the Ming Dynasty.

Correspondingly, the popularity of computer halls and Internet halls, which had only been popular for a few short years, began to fade away.

However, due to strict management and approval, Daming's Computer Hall was not the low-end Internet cafe model of the previous life.

Therefore, it is not spread everywhere like the Internet cafes in the previous life.

The business model has been relatively serious from the beginning, and can be seen as similar to the model of Internet cafes in previous generations.

They will still have a not too small living space in the future.

It won’t go bankrupt directly.

The mobile communication network covers most prefectures and cities, as well as some relatively large suburban counties.

Twenty years of the Grand Duke.

Ming Dynasty completed the spacewalk experiment.

The semiconductor process has been upgraded to 24 nanometers.

The laboratories of four major industrial groups designed eight-core processors.

The processor frequency has exceeded 3 billion (3GHz), and the computing speed has reached 100 billion per second.

The Ming Navy and Army finally completed the construction of global communication optical cables.

There are eight groups of backbone optical cables spread around the world, each of which has a theoretical data bandwidth limit of 100 million words.

That is to say, 100 million Chinese characters can be transmitted per second.

It is equivalent to the 16Tbps bandwidth of Zhu Jingyuan’s previous life, with eight channels totaling 128Tbps.

According to the download speed, it is 2TB per second, and the total of eight files is 16Tb.

The bandwidth of a single optical fiber has reached the level of Zhu Jingyuan's previous life around 2010, and the total combined is close to the communication capabilities of the 2020s.

The backbone communication optical cables on land have the same standards, and the bandwidth of branch links on land and sea is degraded simultaneously.

However, these data are design theoretical limits, and communication equipment needs to be continuously improved and upgraded before they can be fully utilized in the next few years.

On this basis, all Internet lines in Daming are within the same unified system.

Under the jurisdiction of the same management system, relatively balanced distribution to all users.

In addition to the Internet Center and related laboratories, as well as central government agencies with special needs, they have relatively special authority.

In other places, there will not be a situation where some ordinary users have popularized Gigabit optical fiber, while users in another place may still use 60K telephone lines.

In other words, the overall bandwidth waste is much smaller than Zhu Jingyuan's previous life.

In the process of laying backbone optical fibers, all residential areas at or above the township level in Daming have been connected to the entire Daming Internet.

The imperial court also popularized computers for office work in all official agencies.

The minimum standard is that each agency and department has at least one computer connected to the Internet.

Able to accept notifications from superiors and other departments at any time, and exchange data with superiors and other departments at any time.

The direct purpose and driving force of laying out global high-speed Internet is to strengthen the connection between the central court of the Ming Dynasty and local yamen and vassal states.

With this level of Internet, all agencies under the jurisdiction of the imperial court can be easily contacted.

The key is that they can all transfer file data directly.

Gradually integrate various basic archives around the world into a unified data system.

The purpose of popularizing office computers is also the same.

With daily office computers and the Internet, the management capabilities and office efficiency of all levels of yamen in the Ming Dynasty will be improved by leaps and bounds.

It is this huge demand from the entire imperial court that is enough to promote the completion of the global Internet construction.

The terrifying need to popularize computers in all imperial agencies also quickly diluted the research and development costs of personal computers.

It has directly reached a level that ordinary people can accept.

In addition, the bandwidth of the currently built optical fiber Internet has a huge margin for office use.

Therefore, the popularization of the Internet and computers among civilians also started simultaneously.

At the same time as the global backbone optical fiber network was built, mobile communication networks were also deployed to a similar extent.

Because the backbone network of mobile communication networks uses the same lines as the Internet, but more ground tower base stations need to be built.

The main task now is coverage, bandwidth is not the most important.

With the Internet loans currently built, if it only provides the speed of the GSM era, it is enough to carry hundreds of millions of mobile phones to the Internet.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty completely relaxed the restrictions on mobile phone sales and Internet access.

And the license to produce mobile phones has been opened to private manufacturers.

It is foreseeable that the price of mobile phones will drop rapidly in the next few years, and the popularity will be much faster than in previous generations.

Zhu Jingyuan is fifty years old and has fewer and fewer things he directly manages.

Basically, they are looking at the acceptance report, or looking at the planning report and application, or making personalized requests on some special issues.

As long as there are a few industries, Zhu Jingyuan will directly intervene in specific industry planning because of interest or attention.

Zhu Jingyuan is most concerned about the semiconductor industry.

In the past ten years, this industry has undergone tremendous changes.

The supercomputer that Zhu Jingyuan accepted ten years ago has now become a true antique.

Due to Zhu Jingyuan's interference and early investment in R&D regardless of cost, Ming's semiconductor and Internet industries breathed a sigh of relief.

The industry has been fully rolled out in just ten years, and in the past few years it was concentrated in large cities and strategic key cities.

When most ordinary people in other ordinary cities come into contact with home computers for the first time, the processors are already using the 65nm process.

It has reached a level similar to Core Duo.

Just a few years later, the process was quickly upgraded to 32nm, and the processor has reached the level of the first-generation Core i series.

Except for the Internet Laboratory, when all Ming people officially connected to the Internet for the first time, they directly connected optical fiber to the residential building and then used twisted pairs to connect directly to the home.

The starting bandwidth is one million words, which is equivalent to the 20M broadband in the previous life.

In the following years, as upper-layer equipment and lines continued to be upgraded, this bandwidth also continued to expand upwards.

By the time the global backbone optical fiber construction was completed in the 20th year of Dagong's reign, urban broadband had reached the level of 10 million words, which was equivalent to the 200 Mbps broadband in the previous life.

This is to ensure the office needs of the imperial court and to ensure the needs of the mobile communication network, a large amount of dedicated bandwidth has been set aside.

If restrictions are completely relaxed, it will be enough for ordinary people to reach the level of gigabit broadband in previous lives.

The Ming Dynasty's digital bandwidth representation method uses the unit of "word" by default.

The bandwidth numbers are consistent with the maximum download speed numbers.

There will be no situation where a 200Mbps broadband is activated, but the actual download speed is only over 20Mbps, which is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

That's because the "trillion" is not a "unit". The original meaning of "trillion" is "millions", which itself is just a number.

It is not a normal unit like person, block, or yuan at all.

In the custom of Chinese people, the expression "two hundred megabytes" seems to have a "unit", but in fact there is no one at all.

Two hundred megabit broadband, the correct complete term should be "two hundred megabit" broadband.

Twenty-five megabytes download speed, the full term is "twenty-five megabytes" speed.

One byte equals eight bits, so a download speed of 25 megabytes can be converted into a bandwidth of 200 megabits.

The computer data units in the previous life were very confusing. The same MB case may be in different units.

Practitioners have the subconscious mind to increase product numbers.

The term "200 megabits" is not in line with the daily habits of ordinary people in China, so in the end, bits were omitted and only the number of megabits was mentioned.

Then there is a tradition of misunderstandings about bandwidth and data volume.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were no numerical units such as K, M, G, and T, and the traditional numerical representation of ten thousand, billion, trillion, and Beijing was directly used.

If there is no unit after the number, ordinary people will often ask what the unit is.

The bits of the Ming Dynasty correspond to the number of lines, and the corresponding bytes are the hexagrams. They are two units that look and sound completely different.

Just write it and say it and it won't go wrong.

Zhu Jingyuan looked at it with the memories of his previous life, which may be a little strange and awkward.

But this is actually very similar to how Americans look at their computer parameters, and may even be clearer than them.

Because MB is not Millionbyte, but MegaByte, which is taken directly from the metric unit symbol.

The key is that Mega is 1000×1000 in metric units, but MB of a computer is 1024×1024.

At the same time, there are small bits that represent a binary number, and large Bytes that represent a group of eight binary numbers.

Coupled with the differences between hard disks, memory, and different operating systems, three symbols, mB, MB, and MiB, which look very similar but have obviously different meanings, were eventually sorted out.

Don't know why they didn't find a different letter to clearly distinguish them.

Articles written by non-professionals usually do not pay attention to distinguishing the differences between these three types of units, and the specific ones are often left to guessing.

All in all, it's a mess.

The current "ten thousand characters" of the Ming Dynasty means that it can store or transmit ten thousand Chinese characters at the same time.

Ten thousand lines means recording ten thousand binary bits.

Clear and crisp.
