In order to meet the requirements of the U.S. Department of Commerce for high-end products procured by the government, Tang Huan built FAB2 and FAB3 in Boston, Massachusetts, and Mountain View, Silicon Valley, California, in accordance with the standards of the FAB1 semiconductor factory in France.

The wafers used in the two semiconductor factories are 100 millimeters in diameter and 1.5 microns in process, which is the most advanced in the world. It is worth mentioning that Philips' lithography machine has contributed a very important technical force.

The FAB2 semiconductor factory in Boston has been in operation for several months. Tang Huan came to inspect this time, mainly to ensure the production capacity of his own special chips, and not to delay the annual sales of Fangyuan's personal computers.

The consumer product nature of personal computers determines that it is fundamentally different from the market operation of high-end products such as supercomputers, servers, and workstations.

The latter belongs to "three years of not opening, opening for three years", the former must rely on rapid capital and product circulation, in order to effectively ensure profits.

In particular, IBM is preparing enough parts for the production of 1 million IBM-PCs for the personal computer base in Boca Raton, Florida.

In this situation of fierce competition, Tang Huan increasingly needs his own bases all over the world, as well as partners, to work together in unison to ensure the cost advantage of products.

IBM set up an organization called the Satellite Business Services Department early on to provide high-quality long-distance data transmission circuits, and Tang Huan has just cooperated with Walmart to launch a communication satellite, and it is obvious that there is still a big way to catch up in terms of heritage.

……

After inspecting the FAB2 in Boston, Tang Huan saw that there was still time to spare, so he went to Harvard University to see Zhuang Menghua and his sister Cai Meier.

The academic excellence of the two girls shows how hard the Chinese minority is.

Tang Huan put down the coffee. smiled and joked Zhuang Menghua, who was planning to study for an MBA, "Work hard, and when you graduate, my brother will arrange a president for you." ”

"Don't fool me with what will happen in a few years. If you're sincere, support me now. Zhuang Menghua pursed her lips and smiled, which provoked Tang Huan.

As I grow up. Zhuang Menghua's naughtiness has been restrained a lot, and he doesn't talk to Tang Huan much anymore.

"Okay, give you $500,000 to gain practical experience." Tang Huan nodded, "In the current American financial world, leveraged buyouts are everywhere, and junk bonds are flying all over the sky, so be careful not to lose money in the blink of an eye." ”

"Are you using your distrust of me to cover up your pettiness?" Zhuang Menghua was a little dissatisfied, "You are a dignified billionaire." He sent me with $500,000. ”

"You girl, your heart is really wild." Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, "I want to do something big now?" Okay, then prove your ability to show me. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan looked left and right, and then pointed to a copy of "GuinnessWorldRecords" on the bar - "Guinness World Records" and said: "I am very interested in the operation of this kind of world record, you can get me a practical implementation plan." ”

"Are you planning to start anew, or do you just want to get the authorization to operate the market? Or simply acquire it entirely? Zhuang Menghua was not stunned at all, and asked with a clear idea.

"You have a plan. Whether the conditions are right or not, I need you to convince me. Tang Huan shrugged indifferently.

"Okay, it's a word," Zhuang Menghua heroically stretched out Bai Shengsheng's little hand and clapped his hands with Tang Huan.

After Tang Huan said goodbye and left, Zhuang Menghua patted Cai Meier's arm. teased: "Don't stare at your idol, people will long be gone." ”

Cai Meier smiled embarrassedly, "My senior brother has grown up too fast, I can't believe it when I think about seeing him a few years ago." ”

"Then let's be angry. You're here to give me legal support. Zhuang Menghua began to recruit troops and horses.

……

When Tang Huan returned to New York, the press conference had already been arranged. Boggs, Ladia. Pollman's network technology elites are also ready to explain, just waiting for the moment of debut on stage.

This freshly baked product is of great significance to the Internet, and it is the router.

In the era when cloud services, big data, mobile terminals and other technologies and products were popular, the concept of the Internet can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

However, the Internet as it was understood during this period was, conceptually precisely, WorldWideWeb, the World Wide Web, not the same as the Internet.

It is just one of the many services that the Internet can provide, and it must be relied upon to function.

Nowadays, the services provided by the Internet are limited to textual newsgroups, BBS, etc.

In 1983, that is, this year, the development of the Internet ushered in a turning point.

AdvancedResearchProjectsAgencyNetwork, which is the main body from the present point of view and the predecessor of the United States Advanced Research Projects Agency Network, or ARPAnet, has made significant changes.

ARPAnet, which was officially operational at the end of 1969, was split into two separate parts: the MILNET for the military and defense sector - the military network and the ARPAnet version for civilian use.

And since January 1, 1983, the old NetworkControl Protocol - Network Control Protocol (NCP) has been disabled and TCP/IP - Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol has been corrected to become the common protocol of ARPAnet.

When ARPAnet was transferred to the Defense DepartmentCommunicationgAgence in 1975, the communications office of the U.S. Department of Defense, it ceased to be experimental and unique, and a large number of new networks began to emerge in the 1970s in the United States alone.

For example, ComputerScienceResearchNetwork, the Canadian Network, the Canadian Network, the BecauseItsTimeNetwork, the BITNET, and the National ScienceFoundationNetwork. The National Natural Science Foundation of the United States network is NSFnet, etc.

In this context, the defect that ARPAnet cannot communicate with individual computer networks has led researchers to think about it.

In order to connect ARPAnet and SATNET, the satellite network, as well as ALOHANET, based on the Hawaiian packet wireless service, Robert Kahn - Kahn and VintonCerf - Vinton. Cerf co-developed TCP/IP.

It can be said that TCP/IP and routers are the two legs of Internet development, and Tang Huan once again stepped on the drumbeat of technological development. (To be continued......)
