Huanyu.com, our West translates it into a global network. I believe everyone is familiar with this term. Its inventor is Mr. Xiao Qiang, the world's top scientist.

When he entered the first line of network address twenty years ago today, in an underground garage, no one knew the meaning of it.

But when we look back today, we will be surprised to find that it was on that day, at that moment, that once poor and backward China gradually departed from our Western path of scientific and technological development and embarked on a completely different path from ours.

The sound made by Mr. Xiao Qiang’s keyboard is that they sounded the clarion call for the advancement of technology!

Over the past twenty years, our competition in science and technology has never stopped, and we have achieved one brilliant result after another. We have always been proud of ourselves leading the world trend! However, scientists suddenly issued a warning that our technology has lagged behind China as a whole. In the words of Professor Leos, the winner of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics, we lag behind China for at least ten years!

In this case, whether it is alarmist or fact, it is worth our deep consideration.

Perhaps, using another sentence from Professor Leos as the end of this article can better express the reflection of the international science and technology community: Did our Western scientific and technological development path go wrong from the beginning?

Researchers from all over the world know the significance of this network system!

They all came from the simplest era of microcontrollers, step by step with the development of domestic computers. Facing this online page with pictures and texts, everyone was filled with tears.

The two researchers who quarreled from the beginning of the project, hugging each other tightly, slapped each other hard, and bursting with tears.

Xiao Qiang stroked the keyboard with his hand and looked at this very familiar network page architecture in his previous life, and was filled with emotion!

To be honest, the hosts they set up are still far behind in terms of performance compared to Western supercomputers. Our overall technological level is still extremely backward.

However, now there is at least one project, and we are far ahead of the world!

Yes, the development of computers in Europe and the United States is now incomparable. At the beginning of this century, the emergence and popularity of personal computers have made their computer development accelerate. In terms of the network, they have already had the prototype of the Internet. However, their network application is still in the old-fashioned thinking mode!

The Internet now uses the BBS bulletin board to provide services to users.

The so-called electronic bulletin board is actually to show the ancient bulletin board in the form of a computer. In this era, people still use the form of dial-up connection. If users want to go to BBS, they need to dial a phone number, connect to the server through a modem, and then use a reading software to watch the content of the bulletin board and express their own opinions.

This kind of bulletin board adopts a tree structure, the contents of the topic initiator and subsequent speakers are all displayed on the screen in a tree shape.

This model makes it clear at a glance about reading topics. But it takes up too much space. Sometimes, one screen may have only one topic. If that topic is too popular, it is not impossible to occupy two or three screens in a row. To find the topic you like in such a bulletin board, you need to be patient enough and search for it page by page.

Another use of the Internet is games.

Entertainment is always an indispensable and necessary link for human beings. In 1979, when computer networks were not yet fully mature, the first MUD multi-user space virtual game appeared.

In fact, this is the most original form of online games that Xiao Qiang is familiar with.

Due to hardware constraints, it is difficult to transmit a large number of graphics and audio signals in this era. But people's wisdom is also infinite. They developed the MUD game mode.

The gameplay of this kind of game is roughly the same as logging in to BBS. It also has a login interface, enter the name of the game character, select the man and woman, and then the character's talent value will appear.

This process is displayed in full text.

After entering the game, there will be a text description that introduces the game's background information and your location.

For example: This is the Devil Castle, you are a human warrior. At the command of the king, you come here to kill the demons and rescue the princess.

Then, there will be a direction prompt: to the left, it is the road to the forest; to the right, it is the Demon Swamp; to the forward, it is the Demon Castle; to retreat, it is the City.

In the game, there are monsters for you to fight, but they are all turn-based. Both sides take turns to attack, compete for talent values ​​and experience, which is roughly the same as Xiao Qiang's memory.

At this time, NPC characters appeared, responsible for posting tasks to Wanjia, selling equipment, etc.

It can be said that except for the absence of image graphics, sound effects, animations, and the entire game, there are all the basic elements of online games in Xiao Qiang's memory in his previous life.

Therefore, human wisdom is limited by material conditions and is infinitely far-reaching!

The online page system that Xiao Qiang built this time completely abandoned the old and backward architecture and adopted the same web page picture as he remembered.

And Huanyu Technology Network is a specific example of his application.

This website includes news, technological developments, technological application, domestic policies and other sectors, and has a database in it for storing scientific and technological information.

The reason why this ultra-modern website was that it developed a "text address link" protocol.

The reason why BBS needs to be made into a tree shape and fully expanded is because it does not have a text address link function. If you want to read other people's articles, you must display all the text on the screen.

The agreement made by Xiao Qiang makes full use of what he knows about his previous life's solution and adopts a hypertext agreement. This allows certain text titles to link corresponding addresses, thereby achieving the purpose of rapid conversion between different pages!

He also specially hired more than a dozen typists to input the papers translated by the early researchers into the database in categories. In addition, he found a large number of scientific and technological books, which were divided into three levels according to the standards of cutting-edge research, mature application and scientific popularization, and were ready for researchers to check and review at any time.

After the launch of this website, as its modules continue to be improved, the user base is also increasing rapidly.

Researchers from all over the world immediately fell in love with this website. As a scientific worker, you must always pay attention to international scientific and technological trends and search for information, which has become an indispensable and important link for them!

But in this era, most of the information is obtained by paper media: books, professional newspapers, various professional journals, etc.

Even if you get into the pile of paper all day long, facing the vast sea of ​​books and materials, you will inevitably miss it. Often, you can't find the information you want, and you don't need a lot of information. This greatly wastes their time and energy.

Now the emergence of Huanyu Technology Network, especially the technology database, has attracted them all at once!

Indeed, the current database is still very incomplete and there is very little information. According to each typist, it is calculated by entering one hundred words per minute. If you work late, you will only be 600,000 words in ten hours. And it usually does not meet this standard - after all, they are also humans and need to rest.

It takes at least several months for more than a dozen typists to enter a small library into the database.

However, the researchers discovered the value at a glance!

They immediately applied for an ID, and because they had no habit of approving the vest, everyone registered with their real names. As soon as they got the registration number, they threw themselves in front of the computer and entered the information they collected into the computer.

For a whole week, the researchers in the software and hardware team did not talk to each other, went out for a walk, did not visit relatives and friends, and spent all their time in front of the computer. Even when they were eating, they held a bowl, piled up food on it, slashed a bite into their mouths, and then typed words through. They felt that they seemed hungry, and only remembered that they were still eating, and took another bite, and continued to type.

In this case, when a researcher from other disciplines who were temporarily living in the guesthouse of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission and bored came to see if he could help, he reached his climax.

The researcher's eyes suddenly became straight when he saw this website and this database.

He forced a researcher who was impatient, staring at the screen, and quickly tapped the keyboard with his fingers. He asked him terribly what was going on and how to use it. After he immediately occupied a computer, registered his name, and began to enter his related topic information.

Afterwards, the other researchers who came to find him were also attracted by the system and stayed directly. Until they were entrusted by them to go to the guesthouse and take the relevant manuscripts they brought, the security team members who were holding them back were pulled by the remaining researchers. When they knew that there was such a good thing, all the researchers immediately rushed to the villa group as if they were in a fire.

If Xiao Qiang hadn't prepared 850 computers, enough for them to own one, I'm afraid they would have fought politely in order to compete for computers!

This craze lasted for about a month.

Then he was sent back to the school by Tsinghua University students who came to intern. For a moment, all the professors at Tsinghua University could not sit still.

They just came to see it once and felt so itchy that they wanted to make such a system.

But at this time, Xiao Qiang had already gone to Japan and was not in the company. Fortunately, he was not in the company. Otherwise, according to Xiao Qiang's personality of having a reward for his investment, he saw so many researchers who invited him back with high salaries, holding the computer all day and refused to let go, and he would have foamed at the mouth with a hurry!

Even though he received a cross-sea telegram from university professors in Japan, he still didn't know that the backyard had become like this. He immediately replied to the telegram and agreed to their request!

Why didn't he agree? This was because he had a planned plan, but he lacked an incentive. He was afraid that he would take the initiative and would make the other party feel that it was a weasel who wished the chicken a New Year - he was not kind-hearted. Since there were so many professors who applied to the school and jointly issued this request, of course he had to cooperate with him. We are all strategic partners, right?

He sent this telegram directly to the company, asking Jiang Shenghai to be responsible for the project.

But he made it clear: We took the dedicated line to Tsinghua University, installed small servers, set up software systems for them, and only charged a fee. Their network services must be allocated to the company in the future!

This means that he must have the skill to occupy this position and make his system a convenient configuration shared by everyone. And he becomes the role of an Internet operator.

Everyone is so close that they don’t need to use the telecommunications system. It’s so convenient and easy to connect dedicated lines, and the speed is guaranteed!

At the same time, he ordered the permission level to be set in the Huanyu Technology Network.

The company's confidential information is at the highest level, marked with top secrets, and is usually hidden. Only him and a few senior experts authorized by him can access it.

The company's general products and technologies are classified as confidential, and can only be seen by the project leader and the research team of the project. The title can be displayed.

Ordinary important information is listed as confidentiality level, and can be accessed by company researchers, university system administrators and authorized personnel.

Next, it is the general information that everyone can see.

It can be said that his confidentiality level completely refers to the military's confidentiality level setting. All researchers can accept it and consciously maintain the confidentiality regulations. They do not lend their ID to other people for reference information.

Although at the beginning, the database was very small and there was little information.

But the fire is high for everyone. This proverb shows its correctness. Hundreds of researchers were on the computer at the same time, and in one month, the database was expanded to look similar.

When Tsinghua professors also joined in and mobilized all students to carry out this work, the database quickly grew rapidly with geometric numbers. From more than 20,000 articles of early data entered, it suddenly increased to more than 800,000!

Of course, the information here is not very precious, and the quality is unavoidable. There are still many duplicates inside, which makes the later administrator exhausted, and removes these duplicates and deletes them.

Such big news is also a huge shock in the scientific and educational circles!

The closest universities in Peking University and other universities immediately received the news and also asked to set up a server point for them to participate in the network connection.

Xiao Qiang's Huanyu Network has occupied various universities so smoothly, which is something Xiao Qiang never dreamed of.

As soon as students entered the school, they came into contact with the Universal system and used the Universal system. Some students from the software department launched the development software in Universal, based on the Universal interactive system, and compiled hundreds of thousands of software. Among so many software, there are many fine products. They were acquired by Universal Company and were fully functionally, packaged, and integrated into the system, making the functions of this system more and more complete.

By the time these students graduated, they were already accustomed to this interface and operating mode. When facing the products of the world and foreign products at the same time, they chose the network system and operating system of the world without hesitation!

Those programmers have also accumulated a lot of experience in compiling interactive software. Faced with the new versions of design software launched by the world, they have quickly improved the software design level and made great contributions to the continuous introduction of high-quality commercial software to the market!

Habits can influence a person's consumption choices. This is the main reason why Xiao Qiang asked Jiang Shenghai and others to lose money than to promote the Internet to campus!

After graduation, these college students, as the most spiritual group of people in the new era, have also passed their consumption habits to all aspects of the entire technology industry and civil life. In the initial stage of their inception, Universal Electronics has a group of loyal users, thus firmly gaining a foothold, constantly developing and growing!

The role of Huanyu.com has not yet been fully revealed. Only various colleges and universities saw that they were installing the system for free, and out of the greed for small gains, they contacted them and asked to install a set in the school.

In this way, the network became wider and more and more units were gathered. By the end of 1991, all universities in Beijing had been incorporated into the Universal Network.

At this time, some research units found that they could quickly search for information here and also put forward grid connection requirements.

At this time, Xiao Qiang had already sent people to arrange a host node in all provincial capitals across the country to launch a comprehensive attack on nearby universities and middle schools.

When the role of the scientific and technological database is constantly discovered, mentioned, and valued, they all ignore the real function of this network, which is civilian.
