Chapter 177: Rocket Launch (5.6k)

At Cui Lenan's repeated requests, Tim Berners-Lee agreed to visit the Geneva branch of the Borderless Group to see what could make him excited.

At about 7 o'clock in the evening, the two came to the branch station.

"Ms. Cui, we have arrived at the company, you can take out the things and let me see them." Tim Berners-Lee looked at Cui Lenan and said.

"Berners-Lee, don't worry, please come with me." Choi smiled and led Tim Berners-Lee to an office.

"Oh, the boss let you see the stuff right there!"

Cui Lenan pointed to the two computers on the table and said to Tim Berners-Lee, "These two computers are the web server and the web client, and there are information about these two computers!" ā€

As he spoke, Cui Lenan took the information from a staff member and handed it to Tim Berners-Lee.

Tim Berners-Lee took the information, quickly flipped through it, and suddenly, he was stunned.

What is written on the data is similar to what he wants to research and develop, the same is the use of hypertext technology (Hypertext) to build a system, using links to visit another site from one site, so as to actively obtain information!

And to Tim Berners-Lee's surprise, Borderless has even developed a product.

ā€œWWW? World Wide Web! What a good name!! Tim Berners-Lee said excitedly, feeling that the name was simply too much for him.

Then, Tim Berners-Lee looked at the two computers on the table with a gleam of excitement, "These two are the web server and the web client...... Ms. Cui, can I turn on the computer and take a look?!! He turned his head to look at Cui Lenan and asked expectantly.

Cui Lenan nodded with a smile and said, "You can look at it casually, you can operate it however you want!" ā€

"Thank you!" Tim Berners-Lee thanked him and eagerly stepped forward and activated the boot buttons on both computers.

It is stated that Tim Berners-Lee knows how to use a web server and a web client.

He was immediately fascinated and tested the functionality of the web server and web client as if no one else was around.

Cui Lenan saw that Tim Berners-Lee was addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself, and couldn't help but show a light smile.

An hour later, Tim Berners-Lee got up from his seat.

Cui Lenan walked over and asked with a smile, "How is it, Berners-Lee, are you willing to come to the Borderless Group now?" The boss said that if you are willing to come to Wujiang Group, then the follow-up work of the WWW project can be handed over to you to be responsible! Tim Berners-Lee, would you like to take on this work? ā€

No one can escape the law of true incense!

Tim Berners-Lee hesitated for a moment and agreed, "Okay, I'm willing to take on this job!" ā€

"We welcome Berners-Lee to the Borderless Group, and we will be colleagues from now on. Oh, by the way, you're based in Shanghai, China, and your boss has a lot of ideas for WWW to talk to. ā€

"No problem, I can go to Shanghai, I will submit my resignation letter to CERN tomorrow!" Tim Berners-Lee spoke. At this moment, he can't wait to meet the inventor of WWW, who is also recognized as a super genius scientist in the world.

He couldn't help but feel like he hated to see each other late!

Cui Lenan smiled and nodded: "Okay, when you finish handing over, I will help you arrange to go to China!" ā€

"Then there's Ms. Lautre!"

"You're welcome, it's as it should be."

Ten minutes later, Tim Berners-Lee set off for home.

It's night, and Tim Berners-Lee is inevitable all night......

The next morning, the sky was clear.

Tim Berners-Lee resisted his excitement and handed over his resignation letter to his superiors.

"Berners-Lee, good guy, why did you resign?" The boss didn't understand.

Tim Berners-Lee was not easy to say that this might involve the trade secrets of the Borderless Group, so he casually made an excuse: "I plan to change the working environment, and it just so happens that the Borderless Group invited me at a high price at this time, so I decided to go to the Borderless Group......"

When the boss heard this, he couldn't help but feel curious in his heart, and asked, "What kind of treatment did the Wujiang Group offer you to make you willing to leave CERN?" ā€

Tim Berners-Lee replied: "$500,000 a year!! ā€

When the boss heard this, he couldn't help but understand why Tim Berners-Lee had jumped to the Borderless Group.

Now the dollar is strong, valuable, and has strong purchasing power.

The annual salary of $500,000 is quite high.

"Well, congratulations, Berners-Lee, joining the Borderless Group might be a good choice!" The boss holds out his right hand.

"Thank you!" Tim Berners-Lee stood up, quickly shook his hand, and then left.

A week later, he was ready to leave for China.

……

Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport.

As soon as Tim Berners-Lee came out of the station, he saw a man holding a very eye-catching sign that said "Welcome Tim Berners-Lee".

Seeing this, Tim Berners-Lee walked up to the man and said, "Hello, I'm Tim Berners-Lee!" ā€

"Tim Berners-Lee, welcome to Shanghai, China, my name is Lu Fei, a member of the Secretariat of the Borderless Group. The boss sent me to pick you up here. Please follow me, the car is ready. ā€

After saying that, the man named Lu Fei made a gesture and asked Tim Berners-Lee to follow him.

"Okay." Tim Berners-Lee nodded.

"Tim Berners-Lee ......"

"Mr. Lu, you can just call me Berners-Lee."

"Okay, Berners-Lee, do you want to go back to the hotel, or do you want to go to the office and meet with the boss first?"

"It's still early, let's go and meet the boss first, I have admired the boss for a long time, he is one of the most outstanding geniuses in the world."

"Okay."

The two soon got into a black Mercedes.

Lu Fei drove while introducing Shanghai to Tim Berners-Lee.

Tim Berners-Lee looked out the window of his car and looked out at the scenery and couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

Shanghai is full of traffic and high-rise buildings, just like a modern metropolis.

A lot of construction sites are under construction, and Tim Berners-Lee doesn't know how many sites he has seen, and this kind of meeting, in the UK or even in other countries, will definitely not be.

"Shanghai's development is so fast!" Tim Berners-Lee couldn't help but say.

Lu Fei smiled and said proudly: "Yes, Shanghai's development speed is indeed very fast, it can be said that it is changing with each passing day, if you don't see each other for a year or two, you may not be able to recognize the place where you used to stay!" ā€

After a short time, the car stopped at the door of the Wujiang Group Company.

Lu Fei parked the car and took Tim Berners-Lee upstairs.

……

Zhao Ye was still perfecting WWW at this time.

Liu Yinyin walked up to him at this time and whispered, "Boss, Tim Berners-Lee is here." ā€

"Okay, I see, bring him to my office!" Zhao Ye replied, his eyes did not leave the monitor, and his hands were still tapping on the keyboard quickly, writing code.

"Okay." When Liu Yinyin heard this, she turned around and walked out the door.

After a while, she walked in with Tim Berners-Lee.

Knock knock!

"Boss, Mr. Tim Berners-Lee is here!" Liu Yinyin reminded loudly.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he immediately got up quickly, smiled on his face, and walked towards Tim Berners-Lee.

"Berners-Lee, welcome to the Borderless Group!"

"Hello boss, it's my honor to join the Borderless Group!! Tim Berners-Lee hurriedly shook hands and said hello.

After a brief greeting, the two sat on the sofa and chatted.

Mainly, Tim Berners-Lee asked about WWW technology, and Zhao Ye answered them one by one.

Zhao Ye is actually very excited about the addition of Tim Berners-Lee.

Tim Berners-Lee's background was not simple, his parents were involved in the construction of the world's first commercial computer, the Manchester Model 1, and the family atmosphere influenced his subsequent career.

He himself graduated from the University of Oxford, graduating with a bachelor's degree in physics with first class honours.

In his previous life, Tim Berners-Lee was a British computer scientist, the inventor of the World Wide Web, the winner of the Turing Award in 2016, a fellow of the Royal Society of Crafts, and the founding chairman and senior researcher of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In short, it doesn't work.

However, such an awesome character looks very humble in front of Zhao Ye at this moment, and admires Zhao Ye very much.

"Boss, you are a real genius! The emergence of the WWW World Wide Web will change the whole world, it has brought revolutionary changes to the exchange and dissemination of global information, and opened the door for people to obtain information in one fell swoop.

The Internet will no longer be the patent of a small number of computer experts, and in the future, countless ordinary people will be able to use the Internet and obtain information resources from it, so that people all over the world can communicate with each other on an unprecedented scale! ā€

Tim Berners-Lee said with a heartfelt emotion, his understanding of WWW was very deep, and he couldn't help but surprise Zhao Ye, who was sitting opposite.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tim Berners-Lee opened his mouth and asked, "By the way, boss, what are you going to do with me next?" ā€

Zhao Ye thought for a while and said, "Continue to improve WWW and develop WWW browser!" ā€

The WWW World Wide Web has been invented, and Zhao Ye, the "Father of the World Wide Web", can't run away.

Browsers developed based on the WWW World Wide Web can naturally be handed over to others.

And Tim Berners-Lee is a scientific researcher of the Wujiang Group, and the results of his research are equivalent to the achievements of the Wujiang Group and the achievements of Zhao Ye.

"Okay, I love this work so much!" Tim Berners Lee replied with a smile, very satisfied and excited.

Zhao Ye walked to the desk at this time, rummaged through the drawer, and finally took out a document.

"Berners Lee, here are some of my ideas for the WWW browser, you can take it back and study it carefully."

Zhao Ye doesn't plan to come up with advanced browser technology, WWW browser will be completely handed over to Tim Berners Lee to develop, Zhao Ye just simply put forward some requirements, such as the browser must support text and pictures, there are back keys, advanced keys, refresh and reload, URL input box, website favorites, browser zoom in and out function......

In addition to the simple interface, it is also necessary to develop the SSL protocol. SSL is the abbreviation of SecureSocketLayer, that is, the Secure Socket Layer protocol, which can provide relatively secure protection for credit cards and personal information.

The success of the Netscape browser in the previous life was due to the ease of use of the interface and the adoption of the SSL Secure Sockets Layer network security protocol.

The WWW browser developed by Wujiang Group is to be commercialized, so the SSL Secure Socket Layer protocol is a must.

Tim Berners Lee took the information, opened it, and glanced at it cursoryly, as if he had found a treasure, and his heart was excited.

Seeing this, Zhao Ye smiled and said to him: "Berners Lee, I asked my secretary to take you to meet your team members, and you will be responsible for taking them to develop the WWW browser together in the future!" ā€

"Okay."

At this time, Zhao Ye beckoned to Liu Yinyin, who was not far away, and said, "Take Berners Lee to his WWW browser department!" ā€

Liu Yinyin nodded and said to Tim Berners Lee: "Mr. Berners Lee, please come with me!" ā€

"Okay, Miss Lao Liu will lead the way."

……

……

At more than 7 o'clock in the morning, Zhao Ye read the newspaper while eating breakfast.

At this time, most of the outside world is not optimistic about the launch of self-developed computers by Wujiang Group.

Currently, the application software on the market only supports Windows and Apple systems.

Industry experts generally believe that the operating system independently developed by Wujiang Group does not have a rich software ecosystem, and even if the hardware is good, the software alone can already be judged to lose.

Experts even found an example, and that is Wang An Computer Company.

In the past two years, the typewriter market in Europe and the United States has become sluggish, and Wang An Computer Company has suffered serious losses and is in urgent need of transformation, and has also begun to make personal computers.

The current PC market is dominated by IBM-PC compatible PCs and Apple computers.

However, Dr. Wang An has always been very dissatisfied with IBM and regarded it as a lifelong enemy, so when Wang An Computer Company developed personal computers, it was completely engaged in a set of computer standards that were different from IBM-PC, whether it was hardware or operating system, Wang An Computer Company was a maverick.

However, Wang An Computer Company is well-known in the United States, and there are many software and hardware developers who support this set of standards.

However, the personal computer developed by Wang An Computer Company, which is as powerful as Wang An, ultimately failed.

Wang An's computer company's foundation in the computer market is far from comparable to that of Wujiang Group.

Isn't it a death search for the Wujiang Group to learn from Wang An's computer company to develop its own set of computer standards?

A lesson from the past, a teacher for the future.

Wujiang Group is floating!!

According to the normal situation, there is nothing wrong with what the experts say, most of the PC software on the market is not compatible with the Harmony OS operating system, and the Harmony OS wants to get the love of users, I am afraid it will be very difficult.

What does it matter, though.

That's just under normal circumstances.

Under the leadership of Zhao Kaihang Ye, the HarmonyOS system directly crushed Windows into slag.

The HarmonyOS interface is beautiful, the functions are rich and colorful, and the operation is simple and easy to use, even if you are a novice computer, you can get started for the first time.

For a large number of application software, it is good for Wujiang Group to grasp the big and let go of the small, and develop the software that users often use, and the problem is not big.

Because, from the very beginning, the target group of Wujiang Group was not experts, scholars or researchers who knew how to use computers.

"Shenzhou Computer" has very strong work and entertainment attributes, can program, can draw, can play games, can watch VCD movies and listen to music, and meets the basic office needs, the main target group is ordinary consumers. Can I watch VCD movies on my current Windows computer?

It's not that Wujiang Group doesn't want to do business as a business or a scientific research institution, but it has to pay attention to gradual progress.

If you want third-party software developers to come up with additional funds to develop the HarmonyOS version of the software, then, firstly, the sales volume of the HarmonyOS system is very high, and secondly, the HarmonyOS system is very good.

If it is excellent, the HarmonyOS system goes without saying.

It's just that because "Shenzhou Computer" has not yet been listed, the sales volume of the HarmonyOS system is zero, and it will be difficult to get third-party software developers to support the HarmonyOS system. Perhaps with the reputation of Borderless Group, there will indeed be a small number of software developers who are willing to support the HarmonyOS system.

However, in order to keep the HarmonyOS secret, Zhao Ye did not choose to cooperate with third-party software developers for the time being.

Zhao Ye believes that when the combination of Wujiang Group is finished, the sales of "Shenzhou Computer" will definitely explode, so why worry that there is no third-party software developer to cooperate?

Zhao Ye put down the newspaper and finished breakfast.

On the same day, he left for the Xichang Satellite Launch Base.

It was in the evening that he reached his destination.

"Welcome to the boss (Mr. Zhao) to the Xichang Satellite Launch Base!"

Chu Peng, Liao Xinghua, and Peng Hongliang, the person in charge of the Xichang Satellite Launch Base, came to greet Zhao Ye.

Zhao Ye smiled and shook hands with everyone to say hello.

Everyone talked as they walked, and after a while, they arrived at the cafeteria

"Mr. Zhao, there is no hotel near the Xichang Satellite Launch Base, so you can only be wronged to eat in the canteen, but the food here tastes okay."

"It doesn't matter, I often ate in the cafeteria when I was in the company."

Zhao Ye and the others found a place to sit down, and after a while, the staff brought the food.

Everyone chatted while eating.

Asia-1 will be launched by a Long March-3 launch vehicle.

Chu Peng, general manager of the Long March Rocket Company, briefed Zhao Ye in detail on the situation of the Long March-3 carrier rocket at this time.

The Long March-3 carrier rocket is a type of three-stage liquid carrier rocket developed by China in the 70~80s of the 20th century, which was developed for launching geosynchronous orbit communication satellites. As early as 1984, the Long March 3 successfully launched China's first communications satellite, Dongfanghong 2. Therefore, everyone is still very confident in this launch plan.

Zhao Ye was more confident than all of them, in his previous life, the "Asia 1" was successfully launched. I guess the butterfly effect won't make this launch plan fail.

The next day, at about 1:30 p.m., the Central Radio Station sent reporters to broadcast the launch live in the whole process, and the whole country knew that China was about to launch a communications satellite, and if this communications satellite was successfully launched, then China would bid farewell to the embarrassing situation of leasing other countries' communications satellites at a high price.

"The exciting moment is coming, and I hope that the 'Asia One' can be successfully launched!"

"Come on, China!"

"Rest assured, China is the fourth country in the world with the ability to launch geosynchronous satellites, and our country is still very powerful, and I believe that this rocket launch plan will be successful!"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

In front of the TV, countless people clasped their hands and prayed.

It was the first time for Zhao Ye to observe a rocket launch at such a close distance.

His heart was very excited.

"A nation has a group of people who look up at the stars

There is hope for them."

Zhao Ye suddenly remembered Hegel's words.

Stand near the launch site and look up at the huge rocket...... and starry sky.

Zhao Ye's mood was extremely excited.

In my life, it is an unforgettable memory to be able to watch a rocket launch on the spot, and to be able to experience the power of science and technology and human wisdom.

Soon, it was approaching 2 o'clock.

Peng Hongliang's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The countdown to the rocket launch begins, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignition!! ā€

With the ignition order issued, the Long March-3 carrier rocket dragged a long tail flame into the sky.

The huge flames and shock waves, and the rumbling roar, made Zhao Ye who was present feel very shocked, and his heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.

Looking at the rocket getting farther and farther away, Zhao Ye's adrenaline secretion accelerated sharply, and they all said that a man's journey should be a sea of stars.

Sure enough, Zhao Ye personally experienced the shock of a rocket launch, and his dream of conquering space became stronger and stronger.

Although this dream is too dreamy, there is still a chance to achieve it, right?

People are not reckless teenagers, Zhao Ye was reborn and came back, just to do something big in the annals of history.

Of course, he also knows that step by step, in the early stage, the aerospace industry is still mainly investment, and the real outbreak will not be until after the 21st century......
