Ostensibly, Alex sent Ark to talk to aT&T.

In fact, he knew that it might not work. Because behind aT&T company, there is actually a strong backer, and even Alex can't get a backer. That's Alexander, who understands the phone? Bell, like Alex, is also a "human master".

On some previous occasions, Alex has met Mr. Bell, who is known as the "father of the telephone" in the world. He was dignified, his beard was white, and his expression was solemn and serious. There was a kind of appearance that no one should enter, and he said very little, and basically did not hear him speak.

Bell himself was an acoustic physicist and teacher of deaf speech. Before him, the German Philippe? Lacey had known a telephone, but its sound transmission was so bad that it could not actually be used. On March 1o, 1876, Bell and his colleagues experimented with the world's first working telephone.

In addition, Bell also identified a hearing measurement instrument, a device that can be used to visualize metals in the human body, and a number of other bright and creative zào.

Except for a bright call, Alexander? Bell also identified the giant manned kite, the hydrofoil used by the Canadian Navy to compete with the German U-Boat in World War II, and improved the gramophone.

Bell is also an American blind and deaf female author, educator, philanthropist, social activist, and Helen? Keller's longest-standing and best friend.

According to Alex's understanding, Bell did not choose to transform into a vampire, but instead practiced some kind of Christian practice. Although Bell looks old, he is still in good spirits and is estimated to live for a long time.

Perhaps because of his personality, Bell did not like noisy environments and chose to live in seclusion.

Alex had a hard time getting in touch with him, but luckily he found John through Guò Janis? Rockefeller, and then called the old vampire Guò to contact Mr. Bell.

As prominent contemporaries, John and Bell were once good friends. The Rockefeller consortium is also secretly owning a stake in a portion of the AT&T company. It's just that John thinks Alex is working in vain.

"Old friend Bell has long been out of business, and he won't pay attention to your sesame mung bean thing." John said this to Alex, but Alex didn't want to back down at the end and insisted on getting in touch with Bell.

"If he didn't care about the aT&T company, wouldn't this company have been swallowed up by the other families a long time ago?" Alex thinks so, and he feels that there is no "human superior" behind him. Maybe the company already belongs to the Rockefeller family.

John couldn't deny it, he didn't answer the question, and he didn't want to spend too much energy on this kind of thing. It's like when a monkey becomes a human, it doesn't want to go back to interfering with the living conditions of the monkeys, but focuses on the people themselves. In his opinion, Alex is still too young. It just has the status of "being a person", and does not have the mentality of "being a person".

Sure enough, Alexander? Bell didn't pay attention to Alex's thoughts at all, and instead let people convey a sentence: "Don't bother me!" ”

Judging from the other party's words, Bell really ignored the matter of the aT&T company. There is nothing incomprehensible about them, no matter how much power and prestige they have in the world. None of them are stronger than any of them.

Alex felt a little scratched his head about this, the upper route didn't work, so he could only take the lower route to see.

It didn't take long for the aT&T side to give a cooperation plan, and after some arguments between the two sides, and because the Rockefeller consortium played some roles, the plan was finally given for six or four points.

Of course, it is aT&T who takes the lion's share, and the fact that Ark can take 4o% has already made many people exclaim incredible.

Even Noyce, Mohr and others were surprised. They never thought that the other party would give such a big concession, and in their opinion, it was already very remarkable that they could get a 3o% benefit on their side.

It's just that Alex is very dissatisfied, not because he takes less, because if he cooperates with the other party, he will slowly lose his leading role and eventually become a spectator.

Finally at the meeting. Alex finally made a decision and said, "Let's do optical fiber!" ”

"Fiber!"

After hearing this, everyone was a little panicked, they didn't expect that under such "rich" conditions given by aT&T, Alex still decided to take the road of "optical fiber network".

You know, it's the 6o's! If only there was Alex. Without the Ark Company, optical signal transmission may still be a fantasy technology.

Even if the golden finger is opened, the optical fiber technology that Ark has developed can be used at best, but it is very difficult to mass production. The first thing to do is the financial problem, and then the technical problem.

"Yes, fiber!" Alex reiterated it once, saying, "Of course, it is impossible to achieve fiber optic Internet anytime soon by relying on Ark alone. We must rely on the strength of the state, and let the government and the military bear part of the investment in research and development. ”

"It's the same rocket satellite technology that SCC is working on?" Moore quickly understood the meaning, and he had thought about going down this path, but he couldn't do it without connections.

"Yes, just like the SCC, let's send some people to contact the Pentagon first, maybe they will be interested in this Internet technology."

Under Alex's order, the Ark Company immediately organized public relations personnel to lobby the Pentagon, and in addition, the Ark Company also set up a separate optical fiber research department and established a separate optical fiber company.

Soon, an Asian with yellow skin and black head came to the company to report. Carrying a black briefcase, he looked up at the company's plaque and muttered, "American Light Giant!" ”

His name is Charles Kao and he is of Chinese descent.

A few months earlier, Charles Kao had been a senior engineer at the International Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) in the UK. He was very interested in all kinds of advanced technologies, and when he joined the International Telephone and Telegraph Company, he was still studying for a doctorate, and even after working, he never put down his research.

Charles Kao was very interested in the "optical fiber technology" developed by the Ark Company, and he has also written a paper on this technology.

However. A month ago, Ark sent someone to contact him, wanting to hire him to join a new company to develop the latest fiber optic technology for them.

At first, he resigned for various reasons.

But the other party did not give up, and kept persuading him, and the Ark Company promised. He will invest up to $4ooo in fiber research, and at the same time gave him a copy of the "Internet" plan.

As long as he agreed, he would have at his disposal this huge amount of research funds.

What's more, the "Internet" project is based entirely on his fiber-optic technology, and once this plan is realized, it is bound to change the world completely.

Charles Kao. is a person with dreams.

He wants to make the world a better place, he wants the world to change for him.

What he values is not a generous annual salary, nor option dividends, but the influence of this job, which can make him no longer have regrets in his life. He didn't want to regret that he didn't take the job when he was old.

Now that he's here, he sees the company he's fighting for.

"Mr. Gao! Hello! ”

Soon someone came to greet him. It was a well-known man, Mr. Moore, a computer expert, and the head of the department at the Ark Corporation.

"Hello, Mr. Moore!"

Kao immediately recognized Moore, and he hurriedly walked over and the two shook hands.

"This company has just been formed, and there may be many areas that are not perfect, so if you have any needs, please feel free to bring them up." Moore said to Charles Kao with a smile. And led him around.

Along the way, Charles Kao saw that most of the people around him were white, and everyone was busy, as if they had wheels under their feet, and never stopped.

Many people don't quite understand Alex's hiring of Charles Kao, thinking that this unknown Asian can't take on such a heavy responsibility. But. The people have been invited, and they will say no more. Westerners may have all kinds of problems, such as arrogance, racial discrimination, etc., but once the name is determined. They won't secretly make it a hindrance.

Having lived in Western countries for many years, Charles Kao knew how to convince him, and he quickly gained the trust and obedience of his colleagues by leading by example and demonstrating his professional knowledge and skills.

Under Alex's guidance, Charles Kao has made great progress in the research of optical fiber technology. Theories and technologies of various eras have been released, and there have been breakthrough successes in optical fiber physics, reducing the cost of optical fiber transmission over long distances, and more than 100 key patent achievements have been obtained in less than half a year.

But this only solves the technical hurdles, and there is still the problem of funding.

Judging from the information coming from the Pentagon, the US Government and the military are hesitant to make a decision on this kind of information integration network, and the controversy is very great, and there is no unity of opinion.

The main thing is that people in this era do not see the benefits of the Internet. After all, there are only a few people who have the vision of the times, and most of those politicians and military people only focus on the current interests and cannot see the future direction of technology exhibition in more than ten years.

The publicists sent by Alex had no choice but to keep the other party neutral and not actively promote the project.

In fact, this is already quite remarkable, if Alex is not a member of the "human master", his actions would have attracted attacks from all sides. Once it is profitable, those forces that are lurking in the shadows will immediately pounce on them and take a few bites.

Not to mention, Alex tried to bypass the aT&T company and monopolize the interests himself. In fact, when Alex sent people to lobby the government, several families and consortia had already come to inquire about cooperation.

Especially the Rockefeller Consortium and the Hughes Group, the Carpenter family is inextricably linked with them, and it is not easy to reject them. So, Alex threw away the "optical fiber network plan" with the largest investment and the slowest recovery cost, and those people immediately ran away more than half of them at a glance, and then the remaining half continued to ask about the content of the cooperation, and they all left 66 in a row.

Because Alex threw out a hard bone, if you want to join and cooperate, the investment will definitely be not small. What's more, Alex will not give up the dominant power in his hands, which is why he is reluctant to cooperate with aT&T.

Otherwise, he would have patted his ass and left it to the people below to tinker with, so why bother to get this thing himself.

In the end, the Hughes Group also retreated, although Hughes and Alex made a lot of money in the aerospace field, but there were also many places to spend money. Hughes swayed from side to side for a long time, but decided to turn to aerospace and no longer be distracted by other big projects.

Only the Rockefeller consortium is determined to follow to the end, even if they can't get the biggest piece of the pie, and they can't dominate it, but they seem to have bought it and left. Although Alex deliberately made things difficult for the other party a few times and offered more harsh conditions, the Rockefeller consortium would not let go even if he was killed.

"What's going on!"

Alex immediately sensed that there was something wrong with it, so he bypassed the Rockefeller family and went directly to John? Rockefeller communicated: "Did you intervene in it, otherwise how would they have accepted such harsh conditions?" ”

John? Rockefeller smiled and said, "I have also seen your Internet plan, and I think that if it is completed, it will have a great impact on the world, and the benefits will definitely be very high." So I made a small bet, betting that your vision will not be wrong! ”

"Then buy and leave, and don't regret winning or losing!"

Alex was at a loss after hearing this, since John was so brazen as to say "his vision is good", how could he slap himself in the face. The most important thing is that with the addition of the Rockefeller consortium, there will basically be no problem with the research funding of the Ark Corporation.

The most important thing is to convince the government and the military that if we follow the normal historical trajectory, by 1969, the US Department of Defense will also build its own small network, which is a network of only four nodes made by the Advanced Research Projects Administration, distributed on four mainframe computers at the University of California, the University of California, Stanford University, and the University of Utah in Los Angeles.

After nearly 2o years of historical evolution, the Internet was finally formed, and the network was linked to thousands of households.

It's just that it's just the early 60s, and Alex's Internet plan was launched too early, even if a small LAN has been realized, and several networking technologies have been successfully developed, but it is still too radical.

"For now, the only way to convince conservative people is to get them to participate in the project."

Alex frowned, and a bold idea popped up. The most feared thing by conservatives was the Soviet Union, and the reason why the US Department of Defense invested in cyber technology was a plan to prevent attacks by the Soviet Union.

"Red Dawn!"

Since the transfer of benefits and donations of government and money cannot convince the other side, the only way to intimidate them is to throw out the Soviet threat theory and make those people realize the necessity of Internet technology.

If you want to cause a topic in a short period of time and form a public opinion, in addition to sending experts to build momentum in newspapers and television, there is also a faster and more convenient way, that is, to make movies.

Alex came up with the idea of making a film called "Red Dawn" to depict the threat from the Soviet Union, and to show the role of Internet technology in order to promote the Internet.
