The telecommunications company was established as a joint venture between the Institute of Computer Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Dongxing Group, and in fact, the former and the people in front of him are also researching computers, and the two should be able to cooperate, but they belong to different departments. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info It was only recently that Lin Qiangsheng learned that there was such an experiment here.

In 1986, Professor Wang Yunfeng led the research team to design and experiment with Internet solutions on a Siemens 7760 mainframe computer. China did not have the concept of inter before, in terms of computer applications, developed countries are vigilant, important equipment and technology are not open to China, domestic computer software and hardware incompatibility is very prominent.

This problem was not alleviated until he arrived in China, when he used the compatible system software he had brought with him from abroad, which made it possible to connect to the international network and send e-mails.

The wife of Venatsoen is North. Beijing, and Wang Yunfeng studied in Germany in his early years, his wife is German, and the two sides have long known each other.

Wiener is the father of the German Internet, and the first e-mail in Germany came from him in '82. When he came to China, he simply moved most of his research team to Beijing, and began to write network protocols on computers with Gerd Wick's group at the University of Karlsruhe, which was also a rare learning opportunity for Chinese technicians.

The problem was discovered, and it took another week for Chinese and German experts and technicians to solve the technical loophole.

Six days later, when the send button was pressed again, the atmosphere was more tense than last time, and after a while, the words "send successful" appeared on the gray and white screen, and everyone applauded and celebrated.

Lin Qiangsheng said with a sigh: "This is China's first transnational e-mail, and since then China has knocked on the door of the Internet!" ”

Wang Yunfeng, the project builder, and Li Chengjiong, director of the Computer Application Research Institute, were happy to congratulate each other.

Director Li Chengjiong and Lin Qiangsheng said: "Mr. Lin, in the future, China's academic exchanges can be seamlessly connected with the country, and it is much more convenient to directly communicate with scholars from foreign universities and research institutions. You have to develop faster in the network, foreign counterparts are using optical fiber, and we are still using telephone lines! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded with a smile and said, "We will, and China's data network will also be established." ”

He continued: "Director Li, there are few researchers in our country who understand computers, and now they are still so scattered and not conducive to development. ”

Li Chengjiong thought about it for a moment and said, "You, a little comrade, have set your sights on our research institute. It's okay to work with you, but only in the form of a research institute, not in a private nature! ”

Lin Qiangsheng said "old stubborn" in his heart, but he still nodded on the surface.

Qian Hualin said hesitantly: "Now that we are connected to foreign networks, several universities and research institutes in Beijing can also be connected. ”

Lin Qiangsheng said: "I have thought of the name of this project, it is called the scientific research demonstration network. First of all, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing University, Huaqing University to connect the network, to make a demonstration, to use high-speed optical fiber, the existing telephone line is slow, poor quality, and foreign connections still need to be manual, when can be directly connected by optical fiber, alas! ”

Qian Hualin said with a wry smile: "The investment in intercontinental connectivity is too big, let's start small. ”

He nodded and said, "Then I'll go back and let the finance department make a budget first, if this demonstration network is built, it will be a great achievement!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said indifferently: "You may not see any effect at the beginning, don't expect too much, but every progress is for the foundation laid by China's Internet!" ”

Qian Hualin also knows that the current telecommunications company is a pure investment period, and there is no benefit, if it were not for Lin Qiangsheng's financial support, I am afraid that this company would have closed down long ago.

At this time, the research team received an international call from Germany, and after hanging up the phone, Wiener raised his hands happily and excitedly announced to everyone: "Everyone, I announce to you the good news, our email has been received by the German side, and we have succeeded!" ”

This time everyone was really excited, the research team was not sure whether the German side would be able to receive the mail smoothly, and any situation could happen if it was half a world away.

The experts and technicians from China and Germany applauded and congratulated each other, and they were overjoyed.

"Lao Wang, great, on behalf of the institute, I congratulate your research group, and I want to give you credit!" Director Li Chengjiong held Wang Yunfeng's hands and said excitedly, as if the thick glasses were lit up.

Wang Yunfeng, as the first person in the project, was also very excited, he said: "This is everyone's credit, and I would like to thank my German colleagues for their help!" ”

"Yes, thank them!" Li Chengjiong said with a smile, he pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, let's hold a celebration dinner in the evening, and you tell Mr. Tso'en to thank them for their selfless help!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled: "I'll treat you to this meal!" ”

He said to Li Chengjiong: "Director Li, you let the comrades of the institute arrange some programs, and then it will be lively." ”

Li Chengjiong said with a smile: "Okay, of course we don't refuse to have someone to treat, we will put out the show, you will pay for it, thank you to these foreign friends!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng shook hands with Wiener and told him about the banquet in the evening, and at the same time he said regretfully: "Now we can only connect to the network of Karlsruhe University, and it would be better if we could connect to more German school networks and institutional networks!" ”

"There is a saying in China that rice should be eaten one bite at a time. The development of the Internet in Germany has not been around for a few years, but it is developing rapidly. As long as you persevere, I believe that China's Internet will definitely develop. I will also try my best to help you in Germany and expand to more German networks! ”

Lin Qiangsheng is very grateful for the selfless help of Wiener, who has been helping China build the Internet since 85 years and has been teaching in China since 86 years to build the Internet.

Two days later, Lin Qiangsheng and the Germans had left, but the research team had not been disbanded and continued to stick to the computer.

Early in the morning, the technician had just come to work, turned on the computer, and it took a while for the screen to come to life.

Just when he checked his mail as usual, he suddenly found that there was an extra letter in the mailbox, and there was an extra mail in the originally empty place!

"Come and see, someone's replied!" He exclaimed excitedly.

When my colleagues heard this, they all rushed over and gathered in front of the screen, excitedly looking at the email, which might have come from the other side of the world.

The technician clicked on the email, only to see that the email was all in English.

Wang Yunfeng knew both English and German, and everyone gave him a place, he quickly read the content of the email, and said happily: "This is a reply from an American professor working at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, and he is very enthusiastic to congratulate us on the connection between China and the world through the Internet!" ”

He pointed to the e-mail and said: "Dear Chinese colleagues, I warmly congratulate you on your connection to the Internet, and I am reading your e-mail in Karlsruhe at this time...."

Everyone was very happy to hear Wang Yunfeng's translation, and some people laughed: "Now we can also communicate with foreigners conveniently, it's as easy as making a phone call!" ”

Everyone was happy, but one said, "It's like making a phone call, but is it as expensive as making an international call?" ”

"What do you mean, Bo Zhang?" Others asked.

Zhang Bo scratched his head, Professor Wang Yunfeng also looked over, and he dared to ask: "I mean how expensive it is to make international calls, the Internet we use is dialed by phone, and it is also very expensive, right?" ”

He looked at the email and asked, "Do we have to pay for receiving such a congratulatory email?" ”

Everyone fell silent all of a sudden, although they were happy to receive such a congratulatory email, but what was the use, they also needed to spend money to receive it!

Wang Yunfeng said at this time: "I haven't thought about this problem, I think the institute will definitely issue specific regulations in the future." ”

He said to everyone: "I declare a discipline, no one will be allowed to send mail without application!" ”

Hearing this regulation, everyone was a little disappointed, I didn't expect the Internet to pay, it turned out that the information network is not as advertised, and you can enjoy the information highway at will after it is established! (To be continued.) )
