Chapter 108 Telecommunications, Netcom, Mobile, Unicom
The Pentagon's appropriation, although only $80 million, is only the first tranche.
The "Cold War" is not just a nuclear Cold War.
The Cuban nuclear missile crisis heated up the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and the threat of nuclear destruction became a topic of daily life. That's why "Wasteland" and "Red Alert" are so popular.
The escalation of the Cold War led to the emergence of a new form of Cold War.
That is, the real yàn room cold war.
The Pentagon believes that whether or not it can maintain its leading position in science and technology will determine the outcome of the war. The progress of science and technology depends on the development of the computer field.
At this time, Catherine led her own Intel and Apple companies to emerge.
The micro CPU of 4004 has mastered the most cutting-edge theoretical knowledge. The Z80 plan can almost be said to be a revolution in the computer industry.
Coupled with the ARK Group, or Catherine's judgment on the form of future warfare, this interests them even more.
After getting the money, Catherine immediately went into action.
She knew that the Pentagon would not necessarily continue to allocate funds to her if she did not make some achievements.
She is now accumulating credit, and she will never be able to touch a good thing like Lo Ma that has not made anything good with $60 billion.
Soon, however, her company received another $20 million grant.
This took Catherine by surprise.
But then came a different interconnection plan.
The ARPA, the Advanced-Research-Project-Agency, secured $20 million in funding for Catherine, but at the same time asked Catherine to develop a "strategic chain of command" that could be interconnected.
Such a system reminded Catherine of a thing, something that was about to be born and completely changed the world - the Internet.
After all, Catherine is a software major, although she is not engaged in the Internet, but she still understands the Internet.
In November 1969, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration began to build a network named ARPAnet, but there were only four nodes, four mainframe computers distributed in four universities in Los Angeles: University of California, Los Angeles, University of California, Santa Barbara, Stanford University, and University of Utah.
Regardless, ARPAnet is the world's first operational packet-switching network developed by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and it is the ancestor of the global Internet.
However, because history has changed, the other party seems to be interested in him.
Indeed, there is no doubt that soldiers who want to communicate with each other on the battlefield need to use a network.
However, tactical success does not represent the entire strategy.
If you want to win a strategic victory, you have to maintain a higher level of connection. For example, various combat departments and the like.
ARPA is indeed far-reaching.
But from Catherine's point of view, ARPAnet has more than just a milestone significance...... It's just useless. This earliest network is very primitive and the transmission speed is unacceptably slow.
What's more, this network is still named after the ARPA company!
Resolutely no.
Since the other party let himself develop, how can he call it this name?
Catherine shook her head.
Internet?
No!
Skynet!
Right! It's called Skynet!
Catherine was in high spirits.
The network created for the "strategic command system" is called Skynet!
It just so happened that the core of Phoenix was almost finished, and Catherine simply started compiling on it.
THE PROTOCOL SHE USES IS THE FUTURE IPV6 PROTOCOL OF TCP, THE TCP PROTOCOL, WHICH IS VERY EASY TO USE, CAN SEND MESSAGES FROM THE UNITED STATES TO EUROPE, AND THEN BACK, ALL WITHOUT PACKET LOSS AT ALL, AND IPV6 CAN ALSO SUPPORT ENOUGH.
As for this network company that serves the army, Catherine even had a name in mind, and it was called Netcom.
By the way, the civilian version cannot be less.
Just as she was thinking about it, a bold plan began to take shape in Catherine's mind......
Since network technology is the mainstream of the future...... Why can't you get them out in advance?!
That's right!
Internet!
Catherine was immediately excited.
Look at the site of the 70s! BBS in the 70s!
What a fun thing to do!
EVEN THE NETWORK CAN BE EXTENDED TO YOUR OWN XBOX!
THE XBOX WITH THE Z80 CHIP IS INHERENTLY BETTER THAN THE FC, IF IT IS USED TO SUPPORT THE NETWORK...... Seems to work? ,
Catherine analyzed.
Maybe so.
Faced with such a wonderful prospect, Catherine naturally could not give up.
On the civilian side, Catherine also intends to set up a company.
This company can realize the network, and even rely on the infinite technology of the network and so on.
Perhaps, their own TV station can also cooperate with them?
The more Catherine thought about it, the more she felt that her plan was feasible!
But after thinking about it for a long time, she felt that a company did not seem to be viable.
Maybe to separate the company?
No, it must be separated!
ATT, a well-known telephone and telegraph company in the United States, has suffered several breakups, turning the company into fragments.
That's definitely not going to work.
So, Catherine decided to divide the company she decided on into three.
Telecom, Mobile and Unicom.
Catherine's ambitions are not just on the Internet.
The real mobile phone will appear in 1973. In Catherine's mind, this seems to have been made by Motorola.
Catherine has no interest in the first generation of mobile phones, she is interested in the digital signal of the future.
Of course, this is still a long way off.
The Internet is a violent flood, and as soon as it appears, anything will become unthinkable.
But in other industries, this is not the case, mobile phones are fine, if it is a general industry, even if it is a foresight, it can advance the career ahead of history, at most 5~10 years, that is the limit.
Catherine has decided that she won't think about cell phones until 70 years ago – unless the Pentagon continues to allocate funds.
However, it is still necessary to set up a company.
Catherine has decided that the future of the mobile phone business will be handed over to the mobile company.
Unicom, on the other hand, is responsible for the computer Internet.
In the case of telecommunications, Catherine asked them to do the lowest work, such as laying lines or something, just building, and after the construction was completed, the mobile communication and Internet parts were handed over to China Mobile and Unicom for operation.
Catherine then wrote down four words in her notebook.
"Telecom, Netcom, Mobile, Unicom."
Catherine smiled.
"OK, I've got you all covered~"
