Chapter 163: Storm and Storm (3/4 Subscription Requested)

I learned from Blake that a group of Silicon Valley bigwigs and many researchers refused to go back to Penguin because they had to figure out what technology had been researched, so Su Muleng did not dare to go back to Silicon Valley.

Vice President Bush did not ask him, so he took the initiative to publish the news on the front page of the New York Times, when Gates's Microsoft went public, it did not make the headlines of the largest circulation newspaper in the United States, and only put it on the business page, but Su Mu did it.

For a time, he became the object of conversation among IT experts from all over the world.

It is worth mentioning that on the afternoon of 8 November 1988, the election results had already come out, and the title of Vice President Bush would soon be changed to "president." The importance of releasing such a powerful news on the day of his election and providing 3 million jobs is self-evident.

A European scholar who received the news made more than a dozen phone calls to ask his friends what kind of technology it was.

There are also old Japanese men with white hair, sitting in front of the phone in a daze, listening to friends talk about the new Internet technology that the United States has developed.

The hot personality goes directly to Silicon Valley and tries to figure it out, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at all, and you won't have an appetite for eating!

Since the advent of the Internet protocol, network information technology is still developing slowly and at a slow pace, and has become a barrier that restricts the growth of Internet users.

Today, when we learned that a young Chinese in the United States had done it, and that he had said that as long as he was literate, he would be able to use a personal computer to easily browse all kinds of information on the Internet, and even US Vice President Bush was shocked and said that he would add 3 million jobs to the United States.

After inquiring about the news in many ways, it was found that except for the Chinese young man, no one knew what the technology was, and Su Mu's old bottom was quickly dug up, and no clues were found.

At the end of the eighties, the technology that popularized the Internet was the biggest treasure, and the Internet itself was a treasure chest, but people could not find the key to open it, involving the interests of countless people, and it was surging for a while!

I haven't figured out whether it's true or not, but since even the vice president of the United States has appeared, the credibility is quite high, and on November 8, ordinary people are concerned about Bush becoming president, and scientific research experts are even more concerned about where Su Mu is......

Su Mu, who was at the center of the storm and was staying at the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., had already called James and asked them to contact a group of Internet experts and senior programmers to come over as soon as possible.

I didn't expect the situation to turn out like this, mobile phones have long been blown up, and those who know and don't know all call him and ask Su Mu if he really has mastered the key technology that can make the Internet popular and realize civilian use.

The battery is already not much, and it will automatically shut down soon, so don't think about using it again for a few hours.

He only told those people that it was theoretically possible, and it still needed to be realized, and the news would be announced to the public in a few days, and the idea was worth billions, or even tens of billions of dollars, and he was not stupid enough to tell them directly.

Many experts know about hypertext technology, some know more than Su Mu, and even if he casually mentions it, someone may link it to the Internet and then seize the opportunity.

It's not hard to achieve, it's the idea that really counts, the idea that connects hypertext and the Internet.

Therefore, until the technology really appears, and the patent is registered, he intends to keep it secret for the time being.

After all, I still underestimated the curiosity of these people, and just an hour after calling James, a middle-aged man came to the Hilton Hotel out of breath, and said to the hotel front desk that he was looking for Su Mu, and reported his name: Winton Cerf!

Many consider him one of the "fathers of the Internet", one of the co-designers of TCP/IP and Internet architecture.

Su Mu agreed to see him with a strange expression, and as soon as they met, he asked Dr. Cerf, "I'm sorry, how did you know I was here?"

"Didn't you release the news that you were looking for an Internet expert? My old friend called me, I'm an expert, right?"

“…… Of course, I've read your book, come in, tea or coffee?"

"No, tell me what you think, I'm here for this!, little one, don't be struggling, are you lying?"

Dr. Cerf's heart was so straightforward that Su Mu had a headache, and he told him speechlessly: "Wait a minute, I'm a businessman, and I haven't patented this technology yet, how can I just say it?" ”

At this moment, Su Mu noticed the eyes of the middle-aged man in front of him, and he became distressed, as if he was looking at a bastard businessman who had fallen into the abyss.

I heard Dr. Cerf's voice in my ear: "The Internet should be open for everyone to benefit from, how can you try to make money with it?"

“…… The telecom operator's bill didn't write it for me for free, and the National Science Foundation also used the network to make money?"

Choked by Su Mu to the point that he had nothing to say, Dr. Cerf only had technology in his eyes, stared at Su Mu for dozens of seconds, and finally softened, "Where is the confidentiality agreement, you will tell me after I sign it, and I will never tell others, okay?"

"Well, but I haven't hired a lawyer to help me figure it out. ”

“……”

Half an hour later, there were already four well-known bigwigs, including the chairman of the National Science Foundation, who were glaring at Su Mu with Dr. Cerf, waiting for the lawyer he had found to draw up a confidentiality agreement.

Being so despised is simply an insult to them, but even if they feel insulted, these people are reluctant to leave, for fear that they will miss the great era of the development of the Internet because of a moment of anger.

James was in trouble, he was harassed by a group of people in Spider's company, and it just so happened that Su Mu asked him to find an expert, and most of the people who blocked Spider's reluctance to leave were Internet experts, and there were many businessmen who smelled money and hurried over.

So he asked the gang if they would like to accompany him to Washington, D.C., on the East Coast, to work on that new technology.

As soon as the news came out, it spread ten, ten, and hundreds, and quickly spread to the ears of people around the world, and unconsciously became an Internet conference for "discussing grand events".

Canada, France, United Kingdom, Germany...... Countless experts from the world's top universities and research institutes hurriedly packed their belongings and set out on their way to Washington, D.C.!

Years before they were stuck in the critical technical barriers, smart people could already see the huge role of the Internet and private computers, but because of the barriers to messaging, personal computers could only become the furnishings of most families.

Several years later, it is still what people call "typewriters" and "document processing machines", and many experts who have studied the Internet for decades are frustrated.

I learned the news unexpectedly today, even if it is likely to be fake, they are willing to travel thousands of miles to verify the authenticity!

Because once it is true, the great era of the Internet will really begin......
