Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 333: BBS and MUD

In order to ensure the execution of the Fangyuan Computer Standards Alliance, Tang Huan can be said to have done his own work and listened to the plans of every partner, especially those third-party isa expansion card manufacturers, and confirmed in person that their products will not be later than this November. Available in autumn.

In a word, Tang Huan wants to give Fangyuan Computer Standards Alliance an initial acceleration as large as possible. As long as this chariot is running, no one can stop it, even himself. What he can control is only to guide the way forward through the operating system and the north-south bridge chip.

These matters are inevitably boring and boring to deal with, but the few activities he took time to attend are still very interesting.

Zheru, Fangyuan Computer, and ea jointly built two network platform applications-bbs, which is an electronic bulletin board system, and mud, which is a mud online game, and used the summer vacation to recruit college students for testing.

In terms of hardware architecture, Yipeng/server prototypes are used in the backend, Fangyuan Computer and Apple Computer are used in the front end, and the public switched telephone network is used for the network without any other choice.

The front-end personal computer is connected to the back-end server on the public switched telephone network through a modem and dial-up.

The current network speed is roughly between 150bps and 300bps, which is not the same as future broadband conditions, and the cost is extremely expensive, but as a necessary expenditure for research projects, it is still worth the money.

Neither bbs nor mud can be original by Tang Huanlai. Their technical prototypes and application examples have emerged as early as the 1970s.

The public-facing dial-up system-bbs, which is considered to be operating earlier, was the system-cbbs in 1978.

The background of its birth was the big blizzard in the Great Lakes of North America in 1978. Due to the inconvenience of communication, Ward Christensen and Randy Sess thought of creating a public bbs.

The services provided by bbs are very practical, including bulletin boards, classified discussion areas, news reading, software and game exchanges, online user conversations, and so on.

Zheru, Fangyuan Computer, and ea formally provide bbs services as part of their product support.

And Tang Huan also sponsored bbs research and development and application expenses to various universities on the west coast, which made bbs culture become popular, and his id is also very famous in the circle.

In the bbs system research and development process, the network communication protocol is a very important subject.

Currently. It has not yet replaced the old multi-user virtual space in the arpa network.

After Tang Huan put forward these names, ea chose to use user-mud as the name of the formal operation.

In the field of bbs, Tang Huan belongs to the veteran. He uses it more to explain computer technology, attracting many believers to claim themselves as disciples and grandchildren.

But for mud. This is the first time he has participated as a player.

When a command is typed in, the system prompts: You have come to a square, but there is no one else but yourself.

At this time, the system broadcasted the news of Tang Huan's landing, but Tang Huan didn't care too much, so he tapped west and planned to go all the way west.

But it didn't take long for the system to prompt a surging crowd and a lot of greeting expressions appeared. Then it crashed.

Seeing this, Hawkins shrugged helplessly, "I told the administrators not to broadcast, but they still mischievous. Your appeal is so great. It's strange that the server won't crash after attracting so many people to send system requests. ."

Tang Huan smiled and shook his head, "These guys use me to test the limits of the system."

Overall, the performance of mud is quite good, as can be seen from the enthusiasm of the testers.

but. Due to the objective limitations of the current expensive network costs, compared to the functionally practical bbs, social entertainment muds, it is not so easy to popularize.

But anyway, through the inspection of the mud project, Zheru's network technology reserves have been significantly strengthened.

...

Tang Huan's next most important itinerary is undoubtedly a trip to the mainland. This time, unlike before, he was only traveling in southern cities, and he was about to officially enter Beijing.

As an important exchange item, the status of sports cannot be ignored. Tang Huan specially invited Nelkin from Moscow in the Soviet Union to San Francisco, intending to let the Olympic champion help out.

The last time he went to Baodao as a business delegation, Tang Huan took the Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball, and this time Tang Huan took the Golden State Warriors of the NBA.

Although there is a slight conflict in time, Tang Huan has communicated well with the NBA.

But what he didn't expect was that it was such a big sesame matter that allowed Stern, the executive vice president of the NBA, David Stern, to take a trip in person.

Through the conversation, Tang Huan guessed the reason why David Stern was so passionate.

Realistically speaking, compared to major league football and major league baseball, they have a strong ability to absorb money. NBA has always been relatively weak, not to mention its further increase in popularity, it will have to wait until the time of Jordan in the next few years to hype.

In the original time and space, David Stern was sitting on the throne of NBA president. During his thirty-year tenure, he has been exhausted and controversial for the development and growth of the NBA.

For example, in the 1985 NBA Draft, seven envelopes representing seven teams were placed in the cylinder and rotated. Then David Stern draws out the envelopes in order to determine the ownership of the 1st to 7th picks.

The resulting video shows that two envelopes were heavily put in, and the other five envelopes were gently placed at the bottom of the cylinder.

When the cylinder was rotated three or four times, David Stern picked up several stacked envelopes and chose the bottom one.

Ever since, the New York Knicks got the first pick.

This makes many people suspect that the NBA played tricks during the draw, deliberately sending the best player Ewing to New York to expand the TV broadcast market and increase the NBA's influence.

And the specific way of cheating. There is a "frozen envelope" speculation, that is, the envelope representing the Knicks was frozen in the refrigerator in advance, so David Stern can distinguish the only cold envelope with his fingers.

There are different opinions on such incidents, but David Stern’s measures to establish training camps, tour the world, recruit more international players, etc., in order to develop and expand the NBA audience are indeed unmistakable.

In other words, after hearing that Tang Huan would take an NBA team to the world’s most populous eastern country for exchange activities, David Stern, the executive vice president. Can't help but see Lie Xinxi, moved some other thoughts.

Everyone is smart, and there are some things that don’t need to be so straightforward. Tang Huan cares about the enrichment of the mainland’s itinerary. David Stern values ​​the influence of the NBA. There is no conflict between the two sides, but they have quite the same interest orientation. It is not surprising that the following talks are very happy.

After discovering that preparations for the trip to the mainland still took a few days, Tang Huan took Nelijin around for a while.

Looking at the other party, she still maintained her exquisite figure. Tang Huan remembered one thing.

The study of computerized data processing of sports is not only a team in charge of Chelsea clubs, but also teams in the United States.

When Neligin personally confirmed that she could still perform gymnastics movements of a performing nature, Tang Huan arranged a technical team to carry out on-site research in the company's internal gymnasium with equipment.

Even Tang Huan was itchy for a while and took the initiative to play a few punches.

Faced with the compliments of his subordinates, Tang Huan, who was very satisfied with the degree of his physical fitness, waved his hands and smiled: "I hope my hard performance will help the project progress. At the very least, fighting games have a basis for realization. "

After receiving the towel from Nelkin, Tang Huan added: "What's more, I have invited you the Olympic gymnastics champion to provide you with more reference data."

Nelkin was curious and couldn't help but ask, "Can there be female characters in fighting games?"

"Of course." Tang Huan laughed, "According to my estimation, players are likely to be particularly favored."

This kind of technical research is more interesting to simply participate in, and Tang Huan regards it as a kind of relaxation.

During this period, Tang Wenmao brought news that the American Chinese Museum that Tang Huan asked Lin Ying to design has been completed in San Francisco’s Chinatown. His sponsor has to meet at the opening ceremony.

For this invitation, Tang Huan must of course be duty-bound to attend.

The land of the museum was bought by the Shennong Foundation, and the Chinese in Chinatown also provided various support. Therefore, the links from fundraising, design to completion, etc. went smoothly.

On the day of the opening ceremony, the lion dance and whip were very lively.

Tang Huan and Lin Ying talked a few words, and learned that Jobs recently invited Lin Ying to discuss the process design of the product appearance for his own sake.

Regarding this, Tang Huan was very speechless. Now the personal computer market is fighting to what extent, you are still so leisurely and elegant.

In fact, Lin Ying's current popularity is basically limited to the professional circle. The wider society and people don't know much about her. After all, her famous work, the Vietnam War Memorial, has not yet been completed.

On July 1st last year, the US Congress approved the three acres of the Constitution Garden near the National Mall in the northeast of the Lincoln Memorial as the site of the Vietnam War monument and announced the start of the design competition.

By December 29 of that year, more than 2500 people registered to participate in the 50,000 prize design competition.

On March 31 this year, the selection committee collected more than 1,400 designs.

After being numbered to make the author anonymous, on May 6 this year, Lin Ying's design was unanimously selected as the winner.

However, because Lin Ying's Asian identity is a sensitive issue, relevant parties have even deliberately avoided her name.

Speaking from facts, compared to the strong gold-absorbing ability of major league football and major baseball, NBA has always performed relatively weak, not to mention its further increase in popularity, it will have to wait until the time of Jordan in the next few years to hype.

In the original time and space, after David Stern sat on the throne of the president of the NBA ~ www.readwn.com~ during his thirty-year tenure, he was exhausted for the development and growth of the NBA, and there was even no lack of controversy.
