v3 Chapter 1417： Crisis and opportunities in Ukraine

The general public is less aware of root servers.

Its full name is the root domain name server. This thing is very important to network security and stable operation. It is called the "central nervous system" of the Internet!

The first generation of root servers is 4 root servers, there are only 13 in the world, one of which is the primary root server and the other 12 are all secondary root servers.

And these thirteen root servers, there are thousands of sub-servers underneath.

It's just that these thirteen root servers are fundamental, equivalent to the parent company of the business group, and the sub-servers are subsidiaries established in various regions for better business development.

The parent company of the group decides how to establish the subsidiary, so the key lies in the thirteen root servers.

These thirteen root servers manage all domain names in the world.

It can be said that as long as one of these root servers ceases to serve, it will cause the Internet in the corresponding area to be paralyzed, and then cause chaos in the global economic and financial order.

In later generations, among the 13 root servers, the primary server and nine secondary servers are in the United States, and then there is one each in the United Kingdom, Sweden, and the island countries.

As for the mainland?

No one!

This completely does not match the status of the Internet power in the subsequent generations of the mainland, so that the root server threat theory of the United States was once mentioned.

Because the United States holds the power to pull the gate!

Although the probability of a military war between China and the United States is almost zero, the lifeline is controlled by others, as if someone is holding a knife on the neck, completely in a passive situation.

Fortunately, the United States did not anticipate how broad the Internet will be in the future, so it only set up 13 servers with 4 roots, which miscalculated the situation.

So that in 2016, the 4 address exhaustion crisis is about to break out, so the world's powers have jointly launched the "Snowman Project" to build the second generation of root servers 6, and there are 25 in total.

At that time, because the mainland became more powerful, it grabbed a primary root server and three secondary root servers, breaking the predicament of not having a root server and solving the threat.

But at that time, compared to now, it was already thirty years later!

For now, considering the development of the Internet in Asia, a single root server in an island country is not enough!

If you want the mainland to deploy a root server, the United States, as the country that invented the Internet, will most likely not agree.

But Xiangjiang is different from the mainland.

Most importantly, Xia Yu needs a root server to stabilize Xiangjiang's position and influence in the Internet industry.

Therefore, Xia Yu immediately ordered someone to investigate the situation of the root server.

Three days later, the complete root server situation was delivered to him.

The status quo, deviated from the memory of Xia Yu's later generations, but it made him happy.

The survey shows that there are only four root servers in the world, one primary root server and three secondary root servers.

The first main root server was established in 1984 at the Institute of Information Science, University of Southern California, at 100052.

The second auxiliary root server was also established in 1984, also at the Institute of Information Science, University of Southern California.

Then in 1985, last year, two auxiliary root servers were established, located in the Stanford International Research Institute and the Ballistic Research Laboratory of the United States!

In March of this year, the secondary root server of the Institute of Information Science at the University of Southern California was deactivated and replaced by another secondary root server with the domain name.

For the root server, although it is used for military purposes, it is also used for academic research and civilian purposes. The two paths go together.

The survey shows that although the United States invented the Internet, the importance of root servers has not been raised to the highest level, and the International Internet Standards Organization does not have a complete and unified plan.

Still in the stage of groping across the river.

The think tank responsible for the investigation and collection of the United States analyzed that although the United States has not authorized foreign countries to establish root servers, as long as the international Internet standards organization can be established, the reason is that the internationalization of Internet standards is still possible!

Seeing this analysis, Xia Yu's heart was quite settled.

But no matter what, he has to try his best, and he can't give up if there is a glimmer of hope!

After the decision, he immediately called a think tank to further study and judge.

Two days later.

The Institute of Information Science of Jiuding University sent a team to board the plane and fly to the United States.

This is just a team on the bright side.

Secretly, Xia Yu also mobilized the resources of the consortium to clear the relationship.

Just when the plane arrived in the United States, a global sensation happened!

At 1:23 a.m. on April 26, the No. 4 reactor of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine exploded. The radiation dose released by this explosion was more than 400 times that of the peace bombs dropped on the island nation during World War II!

Moreover, because the protective layer of the nuclear power plant is only made of one layer, the radiation dust produced by the explosion is directly dispersed into the atmosphere, and it has begun to spread to the western, eastern and northern regions of Hongsu, which can no longer be stopped!

The explosion caused a huge blow to Hongsu's prestige. Not only was Hongsu panicked, European countries also jumped anxiously.

Although the United States and the mainland will not be affected, as the two countries with peace bombs, they have to pay close attention.

When it comes to Hongsu, one of the two hegemons, any major event must be taken seriously. What's more, this kind of thing involves a nuclear crisis?

For a time, governments around the world were involved in the time of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion, and many relatively unimportant tasks were put aside for the first time.

And Xia Yu also immediately ordered Ma Qianjun to let Luo Wang investigate the impact of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion on the Red Soviet Union.

On the same day, the major newspapers and TV stations under Xia Yu reported on the incident.

The spread of Global Satellite TV has attracted a lot of attention in Southeast Asia.

When Xia Yu returned home, she saw that Elena was looking sad, and the other women seemed to comfort her.

Xia Yu hurriedly put down his clothes, walked over quickly, and asked with concern.

"Elena, what's the matter with you?"

Sandy rushed to answer for Elena: "My dear, sister Elena read the news just now and was worried that the radioactive dust would spread to the UK, and no one answered the phone when she called home just now."

Xia Yu knew it, looked at Elena, and Elena nodded as expected.

Xia Yuchao smiled and shook his head, squeezed next to Elena, hugged her lightly, and comforted: "Elena, don't worry, the news only said that it might affect the whole of Europe, but this is only possible."

"In fact, I estimate that it will affect half of Europe at most."

"Britain is so far away from Ukraine, it's safe, don't worry."

"Even if there is a certain impact when the time comes, let your father and the others come to live in Xiangjiang for a period of time."

"Yes, UU reading Elena, my husband must be right."

Sumitomo Kumiko grabbed Elena's hand and comforted softly.

"Yes"

Several other women were also comforted.

Elena's face improved, and she nodded slightly: "Well, thank you everyone."

"Let's go to the table, it's dinner."

Xia Yu said, carefully walking towards the dining table with his wives.

Luo Wang has been in Hongsu for a year.

With no shortage of funds, the net also opened up the situation.

If you talk about the degree of understanding of Hongsu, it is definitely much higher than Xia Yu's think tank.

In the next month, the impact of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion did not disappear, because Hongsu’s investigation results have not yet come out, but radiation hazards have been continuously exposed, and deaths have been exposed in various places. .

In this month, Luo Wang continuously fed back various situations in the Red Soviet Union.

The most noteworthy point is that there is a huge change.

With the outbreak of the Chernobyl incident, the contradictions within the Red-Soviet Alliance began to turn from secret to face-to-face.

In particular, Belarus, which does not have any nuclear facilities, has been affected to the greatest extent due to wind direction problems. The tens of millions of people in Belarus have great grievances, but the Red-Soviet Alliance's handling of the aftermath is not satisfactory.

If Gorbachev came to power, it was the first foreshadowing of the disintegration of the Red Soviet Union.

Then the Chernobyl incident was the second assist.

Of course, no one except Xia Yu would have expected the disintegration of the Red Soviet Society.

But Xia Yu wanted to use this opportunity to do something.

The Chernobyl nuclear power plant is located in Ukraine. This time a super-large accident occurred, and Ukraine will inevitably shake the country.

It's a perfect time to enter at this time!
