While the whole society is immersed in the joy of Christmas, IBM in mountain view city is also carrying out an epoch-making plan.
"Finally ready to confirm, countdown 5 minutes, 5 minutes to start connecting." Leon soran stood in the open laboratory, his face full of excitement and tension.
Today, they will be accompanied by four mainframe computers at the University of Chicago, the University of California Los Angeles, the Western University of Manhattan and Stanford.
If successful, IBM's most important plan in the last five years will be declared successful.
Ibmp-t-pns is a "point-to-point network" created by IBM
It's going to make a big difference in the world if it's successful.
"Finally count down 30 seconds, check again, and return to your position." Leon soran had sweaty palms.
Today's success or failure is related not only to the authority of the big boss in the company, but also to the future of their department.
In a few years, the "advanced planning and research laboratory", supported by the big boss, has consumed more than 20 million US dollars in research and development funds.
As long as today's experiment fails, the board can take the opportunity to challenge the big boss.
Of course, they have no way to take the big boss, but they can take the opportunity to reduce the funding of the research laboratory, or even worse, directly shut down the whole project.
As the direct director of the advanced planning research office, Leon soran's future is tied to it, with both prosperity and loss.
That's why he's so nervous. Leon soran was ready to pack up and go away a few days ago. If it's a mess
"The final countdown is 5 seconds, 5, 4, 3..." When the mechanical timer was set to the last second, Leon soran pressed the start button himself.
In the laboratory, there was a moment of suffocation. Everyone held their breath and looked back at him.
"Look at what I'm doing. Let's see if there's any news. Come on..." Leon almost lost his temper when he found everyone staring at him.
Is there a signal on your face that you can see whether the experiment is successful or not?
With the roar of Leon, the laboratory seemed to be immediately injected with fresh air. Everyone returned to normal from the "standby" state, and the busy steps frequently staggered.
"That's it. Come on, tell me some good news It must be good news. Please, it must be... "
"Dr. soran, there's a signal." As soon as the voice remembered, Leon ran quickly to the position he was watching.
The University of Chicago, the response from the University of Chicago, they succeeded
"Here, the Stanford line is open."
"I got news from the University of California, wow..."
"Ha, the signal from Western University is coming. It's it. It's it. That's right."
The whole lab was boiling with good news, and everyone stood up and raised their arms like a baboon in courtship.
"Yes, we did." After confirming it in person, Leon was convinced that it was true. When he stopped again, his back was soaked with sweat.
"Everybody, guys, hey, come here and listen to me..." Leon clapped his hands and asked everyone to focus on themselves.
"It's dinner time in four hours, and I think each of you wants to spend Christmas with your family Congratulations, dreams come true. "
Although everyone is ready to work overtime at Christmas, it is enough to cheer them up to hear the good news.
More importantly, it represents the year-end bonus of this year.
In addition to the necessary personnel on duty, the rest of the staff go home to celebrate the festival.
That is to say, if there is another 20 years to go, "what about the dream of working overtime at Christmas?"
After everyone left, Leon walked out of the lab, too, but he didn't go home.
When she came to the office upstairs, Leon told her boss the good news at the first time, "I believe it will be one of the best Christmas presents."
In fact, Li Zitao, who got the news, thought that "one of them" should be removed.
The success of p-t-pns heralds the Internet age, and it will become the biggest pusher, making it enter life countless times faster than anyone expected.
"Who's calling?" Mary was worried about her husband's curiosity and came back.
Remember the last time he was like this, he was lying on the bed for two days, physically and mentally exhausted.
"IBM, p-t-pns succeeded..." Finding that his wife had some doubts, Li Zitao acted as a commentator and began to popularize the importance of the experiment for her.
"If so, will Washington agree with your plan?" After hearing this, Mary first considered it from a political point of view.
If it is really like what he said, the military will try its best to hold it in its hands, rather than considering what kind of folk promotion and popularization of sales.Making money?
After national defense and security, the cold war trend between the East and the west is becoming more and more obvious. At this time, any innovation may be included in the "strategic protection list."
"In fact, IBM has planned ahead of time that there will be two versions of p-t-pns, one is the encrypted version applicable to the military, and the other is the civilian version used by the public. There will be no conflict between the two.
What's more, it may take more than a decade or decades to make it universal. After all, its size is a problem. "
Not everyone has enough space to hold a large computer, and not everyone can become a local tyrant who can afford it or can not afford to use it.
"And pearl?" Drinking champagne and watching the children frolic in the room, Li Zi Tao thought that she had gone somewhere to hide.
The little girl who grew up is a bit addicted to hide and seek shelter recently. Last time, she hid herself in the wine cabinet for an afternoon, which almost scared people out of heart disease.
"She's tired of playing and has gone back to her room to rest." Said Mary, pointing to the room.
"That's good Xiao bin, come here. " Beckoning to Li Xiaobin beside the bar, Li Zitao wants to talk to him about something.
"I'll see if the pie is ready." Mary found a reason to leave, leaving time for them.
She would like to see more communication between Li Zitao and his only relative, which is what a normal family should look like.
"Sit down and don't be so restrained." Let him relax and sit beside him, Li Zitao handed him a glass of champagne, and then asked with a smile, "recently, the Chinese Alliance seems to have nothing to do."
Two years have passed since the protest against the amendment of the bill. However, he found that there was no substantial progress in this matter.
It seems that the Chinese Federation is not very keen on it. Instead, it is struggling in its own small territory.
The bill has not been overturned, but social treatment and status have been improved. They seem to be satisfied with a small favor.
Now, I have reached out of Chinatown and started to compete with other minority immigrants for territory and interests, involving all aspects of business.
The government is happy to see this happen. As long as they don't come to trouble, they will let these minority people fight for the leftovers and fight for the best.
