Chen Dahe was quite surprised by this sudden news, while Li Zhonghe was relieved, nodded and smiled, "Okay, with this thing, it will be more convenient to conduct research in the future." ”

Ma Anguo nodded with a smile, and then said, "Networking with the United States is only the first step, the next step is to build a domestic network, so that it can really work, after all, it is impossible for research data to be transferred through the United States." ”

Li Zhonghe let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "They have already begun to consider this, but the cost of network construction is too high, and it is best to obtain the support of the state, but this kind of thing that is beneficial to technological research, the above should not oppose it." ”

Chen Dahe touched his nose, is it just more beneficial to technical research?

Ma Anguo was excitedly imagining the future, and when he saw that Chen Dahe's face didn't seem right, he couldn't help but be stunned, looked at him and asked, "Dahe, do you have any ideas?"

Hearing Ma Anguo's words, the two old men Li and Sun also turned their heads to look at him together,

Chen Dahe shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "No, it's just that I think you seem to underestimate the Internet era too much." ”

The Internet Age?

Li Zhonghe frowned suddenly, looked at him and asked, "What Internet era? Internet technology does have merit, but in terms of the era, it is too much, right?"

Chen Dahe snapped his fingers and said, "The first industrial revolution, mankind entered the steam age, the second industrial revolution, mankind entered the electric age, every industrial revolution has brought great changes to the world pattern, and now, mankind is entering the third industrial revolution, in the next few years, may human lifestyles will undergo earth-shaking changes, and this new era is the Internet age, or the information age!"

Although Li and Sun do not understand technology, one has a deep study of international relations, the other is an economist, and naturally they are no strangers to the industrial revolution.

Li Zhonghe thought for a moment and asked, "You mean, the Internet is a sign of the third industrial revolution?"

Chen Dahe spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "I don't dare to define this, I just think that for an important part of the third industrial revolution, whether it is aerospace technology or biotechnology, their development is based on another technology, that is, computer technology! Only a breakthrough in computer science and technology can support the achievements of other high-tech technologies.

The three of them nodded together, the laboratories of the Institute of Science and Engineering of the Open University are the most typical examples, the school not only equips each laboratory with the most advanced star computer, but also cooperates with the star company to assemble a large-scale series supercomputer, it is with these hardware conditions, the laboratory of the Open University can produce results repeatedly.

At this time, Chen Dahe changed his tone and said with a smile, "Actually, long before founding Star Computer, I asked Oliver to go to Stanford University to develop a technology that can connect separate computers, and later, she used this technology to set up a separate company,"

Speaking of this, Ma Anguo blurted out with a glare, "EO Systems Company, the fifth largest company in the world by market capitalization?"

As soon as the words came out, Ma Anguo gritted his teeth again, this bastard boy, even this kind of high-tech company was given to Oliver, you must know that the EO system has just been evaluated by Wall Street as the world's most valuable company for investment, and the network technology in the world today is almost all based on the technology of this company, and now it ranks fifth, maybe it will be ranked first in two years, he is really willing!

Chen Dahe didn't know that Lao Ma was slandering himself, so he pursed his lips and continued with a smile, "That's right, it is EO System Company, which focuses on network switches, although the network switch is not cheap now, and the transmission speed of the network is only a pitiful 64K, but, according to Moore's Law, the number of circuits integrated on the integrated circuit chip doubles every 18 months, so what will happen after the technological breakthrough?"

Seeing that the three of them were all in thought, Chen Dahe said with a smile, "More than ten years ago, almost everyone thought that computers could only be used by enterprises and research institutions, and IBM executives even made a prediction that the number of computers in the world would not exceed 10,000, but now?

Chen Dahe opened his arms and gestured with both hands and said, "Use a large network of communication lines to link all computers in the country and the world, when the time comes, you send an email here, and in a few seconds, whether the other party is in London or New York, as long as there is a network and a computer in that place, he can receive it immediately, and even reply to you immediately!"

In addition to that, information, entertainment, music, movies, books, etc., etc., can be obtained from the Internet, and by that time,"

Chen Dahe looked at the three of them and asked with a smile, "Do you dare to say that this is not the Internet era?"

With his remarks, the good news of the Open University's access to the American network has long been forgotten by the trio, and they are instead pondering about this Internet era.

After a while, Li Zhonghe raised his head first, and said with a serious face, "Boy, are you so sure that this Internet era will come soon?"

Chen Dahe pursed his lips and stretched out a slap, "Five years, at most five years, Internet technology will enter the practical stage, of course, there will be all kinds of small problems in the early stage of the development of anything, but as long as it begins to enter thousands of households, the capital of all parties will be like flies surging with a fishy smell, and when the time comes, under the impetus of capital, technology will develop at a speed far beyond the past, so,"

Chen Dahe spread his hands with a smile, the corners of his mouth smiled, but his eyes said with deep meaning, "Please prepare for the advent of the Internet era!"

At this time, the performance of the three people is different, Sun Yundong is mainly studying the economy, and his mind is full of how deep the impact of Internet technology on the economy can be?

Ma Anguo pinched his chin and considered the plan of the Open University for the next five years, whether it should further improve the research and application teaching of network technology, or it should expand the enrollment scale of computer science majors, and it is best to sign targeted training agreements with several related companies and research institutions.

Anyway, the school's computers are all donated by Star Corporation, so there is no need to use them in vain.

Looking at Li Zhonghe again, his face was full of seriousness, and he was going back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.

After a while, he stood up suddenly, turned to face Chen Dahe on the spot, and said in a deep voice, "Boy, do you think that in response to this situation, how should the management policy be formulated above?"

As soon as they heard this, Sun Yundong and Ma Anguo woke up at the same time, looked at Li Zhonghe in a daze, and secretly admired it in their hearts.
