Chapter 356: The Last Campus Life - Computer Thesis Defense

On the way back, Bao Zixuan kept thinking about Professor Bowman's true identity, which shouldn't be as simple as Martin Bowman's distant nephew. But after all, it is not a glorious thing, and if it were known that he was Martin Bowman's relative, he might have been killed a long time ago. How could he have lived until now, but it opened his mind from another direction.

Now, only 35 years after the end of World War II, many **German officials who were not caught may still be alive. They have more or less a lot of secrets, and **German technology is what Bao Zixuan wants very much. It seems that this aspect can really be excavated, and if there are dates or not, you always have to hit a shot first.

The top priority was how to go to Poland and bring back the technical information that Martin Bowman had hidden, and suddenly he had an idea, and Bao Zixuan thought of a seamless plan. The more I thought about it, the more feasible it became, so I fell asleep laughing.

He was about to prepare for the computer thesis defense, but now he doesn't need to prove anything. It's more about hoping to have a good name when I introduce it, and it's always not so perfect if I don't graduate. But as the winner of the Turing Award, it would be a shame to have a graduation thesis that did not amaze the world, so Bao Zixuan has been actively preparing these days.

At the same time, Professor Harry Rowland was also working with well-known scholars in the computer science industry to complete the thesis review, and he knew that he was no longer qualified to teach Bao Zixuan with his own ability, let alone independently review Bao Zixuan's paper. And this is also a grand event in the computer academic community, at this time it can no longer be said to be a graduation thesis defense, but more like an academic report in the computer industry.

In order to enhance the reputation of the school, MIT workers have always considered itself to be the number one school in computer science. Principal Johansson had already come out of his grief at this time, and personally arranged all matters for Bao Zixuan's thesis defense, and it can be said that he did his best to achieve perfection.

However, this is just a warm-up, and there will be a bigger graduation celebration at the end of the semester. Well-known alumni, dignitaries from all walks of life, and family members of graduates will be invited to participate in the event.

The scholars invited for this thesis defense are all well-known scholars in the computer industry, which can be said to have caused a huge sensation in the Computer Industry Association of the United States. With Bao Zixuan winning the Turing Award, his status in the computer industry has reached its highest level. No one would treat him as a student, so everyone came to MIT with the purpose of exchange learning.

Watching the invitees keep walking into the hall, the school had to place some students in the outfield. There will be a TV link to watch it, and the seats in the main venue are already a little insufficient at this time.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Bao Zixuan came to the center of the stage in a tunic suit, as for why he didn't wear a doctor's costume, he hoped to wear it when he graduated. Let my mother see her PhD graduation with her own eyes, that is the most beautiful picture.

Bao Zixuan's dress made people stunned, and most of the people who came over were for academic exchanges. I didn't pay much attention to it, but I just felt that the young man was quite energetic in wearing this. However, it is another report that this costume has spread to the Chinese mainland and Wanwan, after all, this is an unprecedented achievement of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the world's highest university.

Bao Zixuan looked at the crowd below and said: "I am very happy to be able to share my paper at MIT, the first university in the computer industry. ”

Bao Zixuan, the "first university", made the professors and scholars with Stanford backgrounds under the stage very unhappy, what is the first university, you say that the first university is the first university. But when I came up, I went straight to the point, basically no nonsense, but I could listen to what he said, and I couldn't let go of this kid if I didn't see it for a while.

Bao Zixuan continued: "I think the future development of computers will not be a single computer function calculation, but through the formation of a network matrix of multiple computers to jointly accomplish the set goals. Just like telephones, every corner of the world is now connected to each other, and so are computers, but more bandwidth is needed and there is not enough traffic available. ”

Moreover, the network has an unexpected role in communication, office, and scientific research. So what are the main functions of the computer network in the future?

1. Data communication

Data communication is one of the most important functions of computer networks. Data communication is a communication mode and communication service that uses data transmission technology to transmit data information between two terminals according to a certain communication protocol.

2. Resource sharing

Resource sharing is one of the main purposes for people to build computer networks. Computer resources include hardware resources, software resources, and data resources. The sharing of hardware resources can improve the utilization rate of equipment and avoid repeated investment in equipment, such as using computer networks to establish network printers.

3. Centralized management

The development and application of computer network technology has brought about changes in modern office methods and business management. At present, there are many management information systems, office automation systems, etc., through which centralized management of daily work can be realized, work efficiency can be improved, and economic benefits can be increased.

In fact, the term network is not unfamiliar to these computer gods, and the US defense department has already researched and applied this aspect at this time.

The U.S. Department of Defense believes that if there is only one centralized military command center, in case this center is destroyed by the nuclear weapons of the former Soviet Union. The military command of the whole country will be paralyzed, and the consequences will be unimaginable, so it is necessary to design such a decentralized command system -- it must be composed of scattered command points, and when some of them are destroyed, other points can still work normally, and these scattered points can be connected through some form of communication network.

In 1969, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration (DARPA) began establishing a network called ARPAnet, which connected several military and research computer mainframes in the United States. At the beginning, ARPAnet was only connected to four hosts, which was under the protection of the US Department of Defense's top secrets in terms of military requirements, and technically it did not have the conditions to promote it to the outside world.

Many of you have participated in the military program and are no strangers to networked computers. However, the U.S. military spent enough money to build an aircraft carrier to complete the link of 4 hosts, and how much money is needed if it is to achieve global promotion.

Moreover, the existing technology simply cannot reach it, and there is no computer that can meet such a huge amount of computing. Even the GY1 computer, which is as strong as Heiyun, is estimated to only drive a few dozen computers, which is simply unrealistic for cross-city office, let alone cross-border interconnection; it is completely impossible. However, looking at Bao Zixuan's swearing, could it be that he has solved the technical barriers between WAN transmission, and can realize the transmission of information between multiple places and multiple machines?

Cisco hasn't been founded yet, and there hasn't been a major technological breakthrough in network switches. It is more about passing information between individual machines or for a relay station via a large industrial computer. Bao Zixuan's global network is at least 5 years ahead of the times, but 5 years is enough time to bring a revolutionary change to the computer industry.

Although many scholars believe that the technology is not up to the mark, they still agree with many of Bao Zixuan's views in the paper. If the prior art cannot be reached, it does not mean that it cannot be realized in the future, and it is fully qualified as a purely academic paper. Looking at Bao Zixuan's appearance, I feel that this technology is not far from success, which is the most exciting thing. The Black Cloud Terror has enough financial resources to support this young man to do whatever he wants, and they say no, what if they achieve their goal with the support of huge funds!

In fact, Bao Zixuan has a lot of forward-looking topics in mind about computers, so why should he introduce the network? In the next game of chess, when the United States has made the Internet civilian and the world has begun to set up networks, he can let Xiangjiang get the qualification of a sub-server, and the location has already been selected, which can be placed in the Yulin Institute of Technology; for this reason, a large constant temperature and humidity computer room was built at the beginning of the design.
