The next day, Zhuang Xiaomei connected the server network.

Ji Cheng tried it in modern society and didn't find any problems, so he returned to the eighties with the server equipment.

And then......

Well, he's in a series of troubles.

First of all, the problem of the operating system, Zhuang Xiaomei's "copy" buckle for Ji Cheng is neither compatible with the DOS system, nor is it compatible with Microsoft's new HPFS system launched this year.

No way, Ji Cheng brought the server back to modern society and asked Zhuang Xiaomei to tinker again.

Then there's the issue of bandwidth.

Because the bandwidth in the current era is too slow, the range is only 14.4k to 50k, and it can't bring the server that Ji Cheng brought back from modern society.

In addition, in the current era, there is only a private network, let alone setting up a web page for people to download software.

Personal websites didn't appear until 1994.

Ji Cheng was in trouble.

Of course, it's just that there is no Internet that every household can use in modern society, and it's not that there is nothing.

According to Ji Cheng's knowledge, since 1983, the Communications Bureau of the United States successfully developed the TCP/IP protocol for heterogeneous networks, and the real Internet was born.

But today the Internet is only used for military, education, scientific research, etc.

However, this was difficult for Ji Cheng, and he found Adams IV.

Cambridge, Boston metropolitan area, Massachusetts.

In the MIT supercomputer room.

Adams IV watched curiously as Ji Cheng was busy in the computer room, and couldn't help asking, "Ji, what are you doing?" ”

Ji Cheng, who had just connected the server to the network, was debugging in front of the two personal computers, and said without replying, "You'll know in a while." ”

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Dean of the School of Computer Science and Engineering. Moses looked at Ji Cheng with a painful face, and couldn't help but remind: "Mr. Ji, this is the computer room of the supercomputer, will the things you bring affect the operation of the supercomputer?" ”

Ji Cheng was still bowing his head and drumming, "Don't talk nonsense, I'll invest 10 million US dollars in computer science and engineering research funds for your school when I go back." ”

Joel. Moses immediately changed his face and smiled, "You can play here as long as you want." ”

Adams IV: "......"

About an hour later.

Adams IV and Joel. Moses was a little impatient to wait.

Ji Cheng suddenly stood up straight, laughed and said, "It should be no problem, Adams, you sit in front of the computer." ”

Adams IV looked confused, "What are you doing?" ”

Saying this, the others still sat in front of one of the personal computers.

Joel. Moses also came over to check it out.

The two only saw a rectangular interface on the computer, in addition to a penguin avatar, there were some texts, respectively written good friends, company colleagues, related media, strangers, blacklists, etc., in addition, at the bottom there are also "find", "message" and other text options, next to the penguin avatar also display the word "online".

"What is this?" Joel. Moses looked puzzled.

Adams IV was also at a loss, "Ji, what are you trying to do when I sit in front of the computer?" ”

"You'll find out in a moment."

Ji Cheng typed on the computer, and then clicked send.

The chat screen then displays a line of text that reads, "Submitting a request to the server, please wait".

Two seconds later, the penguin head on the computer interface in front of Adams IV was jumping, and he curiously clicked with the mouse, and then the whole person was stunned!

It's not just Adams IV who was stunned, Joel. Moses, a giant in the computer industry, also had his eyes grunting all at once!

Because they only saw a line of text written in the newly popped up screen that was clicked: I'm Ji Cheng, will we have afternoon tea together?

"My Fack!" Joel. Moses reluctantly looked at Ji Cheng and said in shock: "This ...... Did you just send this email? ”

As a giant in the computer industry, he is also one of the best in the beautiful country, so he naturally understands the concept of instant "email"!

Adams IV inhaled even more and said, "God, can emails be sent instantly? ”

Call.

You can send it instantly.

Ji Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, looked sideways at the two, and said with a smile: "This is not an email, but an online pager." ”

Joel. Moses was unfamiliar with the term and asked rhetorically, "Internet pager?" What do you mean? ”

Adams IV also stared at Ji Cheng curiously.

Ji Cheng explained simply, "It probably means instant information exchange, as long as you use this software to add my number as a friend, you can find me like a pager when you go online, no matter where I am, as long as I am on the Internet, and open this software, you can send text communication anytime and anywhere." ”

You must know that in the current era, there is no mobile phone text message function, and the only means of online text transmission is email, and now, Ji Cheng actually brought a software that can send text in instant messaging. Moses was amazed at the time and said, "Mr. Ji, do you know how valuable this software you developed is?" ”

Ji Cheng spread his hands and said: "Of course I know, that's why I brought the server to test run with the help of the environment of your supercomputer room." ”

Adams IV also immediately realized how valuable this instant messaging software was, and he hurriedly said: "Ji, this thing can be used in the military, and if we cooperate with national defense, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money." ”

What?

This thing is used on military communications?

Ji Cheng looked at Adams IV speechlessly, and said in his heart, I'm afraid you don't know how unsafe this thing is, as long as you know a little bit about this software, a hacker master, you can easily crack it, and then there will be nowhere to hide military secrets, if you really want to cooperate with national defense, isn't this a pit!

"I'm not going to use it militarily." He directly denied: "I am preparing to use it for civilian use." ”

This time it was Adams IV's turn to be speechless, "What a waste for civilian use." ”

Ji Cheng shook his head with a smile and said, "How can it be wasted?" To put it simply, I developed this software to allow young men and women to pick up and meet on the Internet, and then move from the Internet to reality, which is a dating software. ”

Adams IV still didn't understand why such a god-like app could be used for making friends.

Joel. Moses agreed very much: "If it is used to make friends, there is indeed a certain market, but I personally think it is more suitable for office, if every efficient person has this software, the office can save a lot of trouble, Mr. Ji, you give me this software to develop, I guarantee that it can be promoted in all major countries in the United States, so that every teacher and professor can install this software on their computers!" Once this software is used in the education industry, then major companies will follow suit, and you can definitely build a business empire with this software! ”

Office?

If you use this software for office, it will be useless!

Ji Cheng is very clear about the positioning of instant messaging software, if you want to work, you can launch a special office-specific one, this can only be used for dating, dating has always been a market demand, and the future prospects are better.

Although the number of Internet users is small at present, it seems that the office is more likely to make a profit, but with the increasing development of network technology, the civilian one is the most profitable.

Ji Cheng was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with these two people, and said with a smile: "At present, this software is still in the development stage, and it cannot be put into use in the market for the time being. ”

"Okay, okay." Joel. Moses was afraid that Ji Cheng would regret it, so he took the initiative to propose: "Mr. Ji, why don't I take some money out and set up a company with you that specializes in operating this software?" I'll take care of the technical side, you just have to sit back and wait for the profits, I don't want many shares, 10 percent...... No, five percent is fine, and it's going to bring us a huge benefit! ”

Adams IV was also interested, "Count me in, I'll also invest some money." ”

Ji Cheng said to the two of them with a smile: "My software is not perfect, don't be so anxious, okay?" If the finished product is taken out, I will definitely pull the two of you into the house, okay, my server will be rented from your college's supercomputer room for the time being, and the 10 million US dollars of scientific research funds I just promised will also find someone to give you, but there is one thing you have to promise me. ”

"What?" Joel. Morgan asked.

Ji Chengdao: "I believe that after you read this software just now, you should realize how much value it will bring, this is a trade secret, so I ask that only the three of us know about this matter." ”

Adams IV said bluntly: "I will send a shooting team to patrol the vicinity of the machine room twenty-four hours a day, and will not let anyone steal secrets, if anyone approaches and shoots directly." ”

Joel. Moses even swore and said: "I have the final say here, if anyone dares to come to this neighborhood, I will let the student fail the course, and the teacher will directly let him roll up and leave." ”

Sweat.

You two are ruthless!

Ji Chengxin said that you two are fortunate to only notice how valuable this software is, and you don't realize that a few servers over there are the most valuable, otherwise you won't have to invite the army to guard it?

After all, in terms of computing power alone, these servers are much more terrifying than the supercomputers of the current era.

"You don't have to make such a big fuss, that will only make people find out what is going on." Ji Cheng shook his head and said: "We have a Chinese proverb called three hundred taels of silver here, the proverb comes from a folk tale, someone buried the silver in the ground, and wrote a name plate with no silver three hundred taels here, and the neighbor Li Si dug up the silver when he saw the name card, and wrote on the other side of the card that Li Si did not steal, you tell me that I just came to the MIT supercomputer room today, and you immediately guarded it, what is not three hundred taels of silver here?" At that time, it will attract people to covet it, and it is best to do nothing, and others will not notice. ”

Adams IV and Joel. Moses thought about it too.

Ji Cheng didn't waste much time at MIT, just left in the car with two personal computers with instant messaging software installed.

……

In the afternoon, it was about three o'clock.

Ji Cheng made a phone call to Edward, "You have a personal computer at home, right?" ”

"Yes." Edward replied.

Ji Cheng said: "I'll tell you the URL of a private network now, you log in to this website with a computer, and then download the software according to what I said." ”

Although Edward didn't understand why Ji Cheng wanted him to do such a thing, he still agreed: "Okay." ”

Under Ji Cheng's command, Edward quickly logged into the website and then downloaded the instant messaging software.

Nowadays, the internet speed is very slow, and although the software is small, it still takes a lot of time to download.

After downloading, Ji Cheng instructed Edward to register an account on the phone.

"I'm registered, I'm logged in." Edward wondered, "What kind of software is this?" ”

Ji Cheng clamped the microphone and added friends on the computer by himself, "Wait a minute." ”

Edward answered.

A few seconds later, the verification message was sent, and Ji Cheng asked, "Do you see a penguin head jumping?" ”

"See."

"Click on it to request authentication through a friend."

"Oh...... All right. ”

"Well, I'll send a line of text now, and you'll see if you can receive it."

"Wow, this is what you typed right now?" Edward's tone was full of surprise.

Ji Cheng leaned back on the sofa and asked with a smile, "How is it?" This thing is okay, right? ”

Edward was curious: "Yes, absolutely, are you recommending new products to me?" ”

"It's not." Ji Cheng showed a serious look and said the purpose, "You are now ostensibly taking refuge in the Rockefeller family, and it will be inconvenient for us to contact us by phone, email and other means for a long time in the future, if there is anything important, you can't notify us as soon as possible, with this software it will be different, you just need to bring the laptop with this software with you, and then find a place with a network to contact us, convenient, right?" ”

The world's first laptop computer was developed by Toshiba in 1985, of course, this is not the first laptop, but the first laptop was introduced to the market by Campanile in November 1982, but IBM does not admit it, they believe that the world's first laptop was the one developed by IBM in 1985.

】

But no matter what, at the moment there are notebooks in the beautiful country.

Edward was still a little confused, but after hearing Ji Cheng's words, he suddenly became ecstatic, "Haha, Ji, I understand what this software is used for when you say this, great, great!" Later as long as Lawrence. If that Rockefeller guy and I have any confidential information, I can use this software to inform you as soon as possible, this is simply a spy war artifact! ”

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "So, let you use it to destroy the century-old glorious Rockefeller family with us!" ”
