Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 597 Yale's Network
It is often said that if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about you.
For this kind of person with rich and small thoughts, Carter has always kept a respectful distance.

And [-] US dollars, to get the patent right of the mouse, Carter knew that he had obviously paid an excessive price.Normally speaking, it shouldn't cost so much money, but
In terms of income, you won't lose money!

After the mouse is settled, the next step is to let Microsoft go on the right path: to develop a visual graphics operating system, that is, the famous Windows! !
In addition to the benefits of the mouse itself, Windows is the king!

But before that.
"Arpanet?"

"It's okay now, the secret level of the Arpanet has been lowered a long time ago. If you had inquired about this matter ten years ago, you would have been subject to censorship, but it's nothing now."

"As for this Arpanet, you can understand it as a communication network similar to a telephone network composed of many telephone wires. The Advanced Planning Agency of the Ministry of Defense launched this project at the time to disperse the command units of the army. It is a nuclear threat to the Soviet Union. In case of another war, if our command center is destroyed, then we will completely lose the war!"

"The dispersion of command units requires an efficient communication network to connect them as a whole. In order to achieve that when one command unit is destroyed, the rest of the units can also perform command functions. In 75, the network experiment Completed, the number of nodes connected through the Arpanet has exceeded one hundred. Also in 75, the Arpanet was officially handed over to the Ministry of National Defense Communications Bureau for operation.”

"Although Arpanet is still Secret, in fact, its secrecy is out of the question. It is only a matter of time before it is downgraded to unclassfied. For some universities participating in the Arpanet project, the established network, such as North Carolina's Usenet, And your BITNET at Yale University, we don’t care now.”

To be honest, Sullivan was a little helpless for Carter.

From a personal point of view, he doesn't like to be in contact with this kind of rich kid, but the reality makes him have to maintain even the superficial harmony?In addition, the intelligence department's attitude is now very obvious, it is to win over this guy
In this case, Sullivan will tell you what you can do for public and private matters, such as asking about something.It's just, why does this girl always ask questions like this?
You say it's a secret, right?It's a secret, at least it's difficult for ordinary people to know; but if you really say it's a state secret, boy, you've heard it and seen it, so hurry up and join the gang!Otherwise, I will do whatever you want.
With this kind of information, this kind of thing is obviously not qualified!
To put it simply, Sullivan always felt like he was being prostituted for nothing.
"How about I introduce a colleague to you? Did you forget that I am on a mission now!!"

"You pull it down! Is it comfortable to sit in the office of the Ministry of Justice? Don't tell me that you really understand the business of the Ministry of Justice. Is it not good to have a chat with you to relieve boredom?"

After complaining about Sullivan, Carter hung up the phone decisively.

Regarding this Arpanet, Carter understood: This is the Internet, isn't it? !

Four mainframe computers link from the original four Southwestern universities, University of California, Stanford, University of Utah, and UCLA.Up to now, more than a hundred major computers are linked to each other, and can send emails to each other, etc.
Internet, here it comes!
It was difficult for Carter to describe his mood at this moment.

From the first moment when he discovered that he had time traveled to 79, Carter's thoughts and ideas could not bypass the Internet.As a person who grew up in the Internet age, facing such a gold mine, who can not be tempted? !

According to Sullivan, some small Internets, no, they should be called local area networks, seem to have begun to be established.These small local area networks, with a pitifully small number of users, will be
"Rick, there is something called BITNET in our school, have you heard of it? Do you know who made it?!"

The next day, with dark circles under his eyes that turned purple, Carter rushed into the dormitory with the mouse patent transfer document.

"Huh? What? Never heard of it"

"It is a kind of network, local area network, which can connect different computers to each other!"

Well, looking at Rick's confused eyes, Carter realized: This guy really doesn't know this kind of thing.
"Is it important? And your current state. What's going on?"

It doesn't matter if you don't know what BITnet is, as long as Rick knows Carter's status, it's right.
It was the first time Rick saw this kind of fanaticism that almost stayed up all night on Carter.This discovery made Rick put down the textbook in his hand.Seriously pulled the chair over, let Carter sit down and spoke slowly.
"I'm OK, in very good condition! This thing, its importance. Let me put it this way, it will change the world! This kind of network linking different computers will greatly change the original production and management methods And the method of resource allocation! And the benefits of this kind of great change can no longer be described as gold mines, do you understand? This is no less than the discovery of a new planet!"

"But I didn't know until now that there is such a small, inconspicuous small network in our Yale University! Tell me, does this make me not excited?!"

Butt just sat down on the chair, and within two minutes, Carter couldn't sit still.
Lighting a cigarette, Carter walked around the dormitory.
"I'm going to Seattle for a meeting right now, and I'm probably leaving in a while. Regarding this BITnet, mobilize all of us to find it! We must find it! I want to know which computer link is in Yale On the BIT network, and who is the person in charge of this network at Yale!"

"Is there any more specific information, or a description of its characteristics?"

Such an exaggerated description, what a big change that changes the world.
If another person said these words in front of him, Rick would definitely think that the other person was crazy.But if it's Carter.
"Dude, the features I know now are just a computer connected to some kind of network. There are so many computers at Yale, God knows which one you're looking for"

"Well, you can observe its connection line! If a computer is to be connected to the network, it must have a network cable for data transmission, and a computer that is generally not connected to the network usually only needs a power cord. .This should be a more obvious way to distinguish!"

"One more thread!"

"Or a few, I don't know about this. But in the process of searching and inquiring, there is an obvious difference between this computer and other computers, that is, it can transfer an email to another in time, maybe on a computer far away."

"The role of this BIT network is this! More efficient communication and data transmission, this matter is very important! Very important! Find it as soon as possible!"
