Chapter 174: The Browser Comes Out

The last time I discussed the feasibility of hypertext link technology, many experts and scholars came, and this time there are even more.

The Internet Engineering Working Group of the United States, the European Institute for Nuclear Research, the European Institute for Particle Physics and other organizations sent representatives, and experts from well-known universities such as MIT, Cambridge, Oxford, and Stanford also sent experts.

Su Mu wants to formulate industry standards as soon as possible, using the World Communications Network Alliance as the standard, and take the lead in grabbing the vast majority of market share before others come up with better solutions.

He was the sponsor of the conference, and he took out a million dollars from his own account to fund the conference, ate and drank well, and arranged the best hotels nearby, which successfully won the approval of many experts.

But he was by no means the leader of the meeting, never expressing his views during the meeting, just listening from the sidelines to make sure that his interests were not threatened.

After listening to it for three days, various standards and rules slowly took shape in the mouths of these experts, and after all parties agreed, they became rules, rules that can make the hypertext transfer protocol unimpeded all over the world.

Nowadays, the network is too fragmented, and hundreds of networks, large and small, are operated by official or private institutions behind them, and if you don't complete the communication, you will definitely encounter trouble later.

The company was interviewing, James helped Su Mu interview more than 30 people, and finally left 12 people, also into the programming work, on November 19th, the most rudimentary initial version of the CNC browser and web server was developed.

A Harvard professor sat in front of a computer, and more than forty people stood behind him, including Su Mu, all staring at the screen with wide eyes.

I saw the middle-aged professor's fingers trembling slightly, knocking down the simple hypertext link he had established, extracting a resource from another computer from this computer, the network transmission speed was slow, and the browser displayed "HTTP:Harvard/000001", and then saw the website he had established.

In an instant, he jumped up from his chair and shouted excitedly, "See! Look! Success! It really shows!"

Most of the programmers on the scene participated in the division of labor, and recently spent about 12 hours a day programming, knowing that they were developing a great product, and there was a round of applause!

The vast majority of people don't know what the future will be for this program, designed by a few top experts, but that doesn't stop them from being happy.

Su Mu is also very happy that the initial version is running smoothly, and he can continue to improve and develop a complete version that can be put into use.

He shouted, "I'm throwing a party tonight! Thank you all for your efforts in the past few days, you can tell me what you want to eat!"

"Wow!

"That's great, shouldn't we at Stanford also create a resource to hyperlink existing websites?"

A Stanford professor was red-eyed, just do it, and began to log on to the Stanford official website to toss.

Many people were inspired and began to set up websites, such as Spider employees, after obtaining Su Mu's consent, it took more than half an hour to successfully make the Spider official website searchable in CNC browsers, and successfully logged in and sent a few emails to friends.

Addicted to playing, a young researcher at MIT asked Su Mu: "Leon, can I send it to my friend, I told my friend about it, and they want to try it too." ”

Su Mu thought about it for a while, thinking that he could only determine whether it would work after practice, and nodded and smiled: "Yes, but how to send it?"

“...... I'll let them drive over!"

CNC browser, which is also an editor, is a software program, which cannot be obtained directly from the Internet for the time being, and does not yet support online download and installation programs.

In order to access the resources under the framework of the hypertext link protocol, it is currently necessary to use a CNC browser, which has just been born.

Someone found a floppy disk and copied the browser program to other computers, so that soon dozens of computers could access hypertext links written by others through the browser and obtain the resources contained in the links.

Su Mu can't make money through this browser, and it has been agreed on this point in the conference room a few days ago, otherwise it will affect the speed of Internet popularization, and it will be difficult to promote it for the time being.

However, there was a senior engineer from Microsoft at the scene, who made it clear that he could consider adding it to Microsoft's indos desktop graphics operating system.

Many Harvard students followed suit, ran to try it, and the next day many companies also sent technicians, and after three days, more than 1,000 computers had installed the initial version of the CNC browser, and the number of resources to join the hypertext link protocol was only more than 500, which was a great start.

Su Mu set up a company again, the name is not used animals, it is called "World Communication Network Company", mainly responsible for the maintenance and development of browsers and servers, is preparing to set up an army of programmers, thinking about how to make money from this, using hypertext link patents to make money, it is unlikely in a short time, but as long as the number of netizens is large enough, he is sure to find a suitable project, such as online chat rooms, there is no problem in technology, only lack of manpower to help......

So far, so good.

Su Mu has a problem with Miss Lily, the two seem to be in love now, but not like they are in love, and they go from Harvard University to Brown to find her every once in a while, and the relationship is slowly developing.

After Prudential Insurance lowered the price to $43 million, no matter how much Mr. Senna talked about it, he was unwilling to further reduce the price, but on the side of Fun Shopping Supermarket, with the help of Goldman Sachs' subsidiary, it was very smoothly began to enter the stage of preparing for listing.

After Thanksgiving, whether it is Qugou or Penguin, sales performance has shown an increasing trend with the arrival of the Black Friday shopping season, and Qian Helberg has been notified that he is ready to enter the Asian market next year, and the first overseas supermarket chose to open in Hong Kong.

Because the entire CNC project is currently free, attracting many experts to voluntarily join in and set up the CNC Research Institute, Su Mu made a decision that made him extremely distressed - the sale of domain names in the next ten years, as well as other income, will be used to promote the development of CNC.

That is to say, those experts will not work day jobs, and they can get wages from the research institute in the future, and if the development funds are not enough, Su Mu will have to pay for it.

There is no way, you always have to plant peach trees first, and then you can pick peaches, the official version of the CNC browser has not yet appeared, and the work team is getting bigger and bigger.

Half a month later, more than 8,000 files have joined the hypertext link protocol, and the number has recently increased by more than 1,000 per month.

The resources began to be abundant, but the scale is still small, it will take a while to develop, Penguin has made a decision to install CNC browsers for free for all users who buy Penguin computers in February next year......
