Chapter 830： East Germany's network

In South America, release fifty nuclear bombs! Flix's words are obviously purposeful. You must know that just a few days ago, the United States just issued a statement that if the US aircraft carrier formation was attacked by anti-ship ballistic missiles, the United States would use nuclear bombs to fight back!

After hearing Felix's words, the participants who were immersed in the topic just now came back to their senses and re-simulated. After waiting for a month, they absolutely couldn't wait. Now, they are simulating the nuclear weapons in South America. Explosion, but also has a certain practical significance, just to see!

"Okay, we're looking forward to it." Thune said, "Now, do we need to go to your computer center?"

At this time, Thun's intention was quite obvious. The simulation of this kind of program would require a supercomputer. If there is a supercomputer at the University of Berlin, the supercomputer would be too worthless, so maybe these people I will go to the Ministry of Defense, or even Moscow, to watch the simulation process this time, and at the same time, the true level of supercomputers in the eastern world will be exposed.

That thing actually serves the national strategy!

Of course, Thun would not directly say going to that kind of place. He just said that he would go to the computer center of the University of Berlin. Fengshui took turns. Now that the electronic technology in East Germany is so developed, the University of Berlin may have a computer with sufficient performance for a long time. It's also good to go and see.

Who knows, after hearing his words, Felix said: "No, just use the computer in our current conference room."

In the conference room? The one that just played the projector? That's just a normal desktop! If that computer can simulate it, that is to say, the conclusion reached by the seminar held by the University of Berlin this time is absolutely deceiving! The program must be quite rudimentary! An ordinary desktop computer can run, coax who?

Although the lay people present were shocked by the content just played, many of them were experts, and of course they were quite speechless when they heard Felix say that they would use the current computer.

This time, I will treat it as a business trip. Let's go shopping in a while! Before leaving, he promised his daughter to buy a Walkman.

"Mr. Flix, you mean, use this computer to simulate the situation of this nuclear explosion?" Thune asked, his tone was a little strange, especially when talking about this computer.

"Of course not, this computer is just a part of all networked computers." Flix said: "You can think of this computer as a terminal, or a task issuing machine."

Felix's words made the experts stunned for a moment. What does this mean? Why don't you understand? What is a part of all networked computers? Responsible for assignments?

After all, in this era, in the Western world, the Internet is also a thing that is not popular.

Historically, the Internet originated when the Advanced Research Projects Agency (arpa) of the US Department of Defense built a military network called "Arpanet" (). This network was officially launched in 1969 and was completely used for military use. Later, in the 1970s, there were dozens of computer networks, but each network could only interconnect and communicate between computers within the network, and different computer networks still could not communicate. Intercommunication. Later, in 1974, a protocol for connecting packet networks appeared, including tcp/ip, which is a well-known protocol in later generations. However, historically, it was not until 1982 that arpa accepted the tcp/ip protocol, and put all the All military computer networks are converted to tcp/ip. In 1983, it was divided into two parts: one part was used for military use, and the other part was still used for civilian use. And this civilian network is the predecessor of the Internet.

In other words, at present, the Internet has not appeared in the United States.

However, the Internet in the Soviet Union, in Eastern Europe, has been completely popularized!

Felix can only continue to explain: "Our computer uses the kp1831bm286 chip, which is already the best chip in the civilian field, but the computing power of this computer is far from enough to meet our simulation needs. However, if there are hundreds or thousands of such computers, the computing power can advance by leaps and bounds. Therefore, we have developed a set of programs that can be used for distributed computing."

The kp1831bm286 chip is actually a clone of the American 80286 chip. The computing power of this chip is 6mhz, which is indeed not high, but if there are hundreds of such computers working together, it will be absolutely awesome!

You must know that the supercomputers of later generations are actually assembled in this way. They are ordinary civilians. Hundreds or even thousands of them form the core of computing, greatly improving their capabilities.

At the same time in later generations, because supercomputers are still very valuable, a distributed computing method has been developed in civilian computing, the core of which is to have a computer that assigns tasks. A computer distributes the data it needs to calculate to many computers, allowing them to calculate their own parts, and then combine them.

This approach is also quite creative, and the concept of distributed computing is quite popular. Of course, all of this requires the cooperation of a computer network!

And now, throughout East Germany, the computer network is quite common!

And these scientists from the West, all of them became scumbags at this time. They listened to the technical terms that Flix said one by one, and at the same time, they also sighed that the Western world is lagging behind again in this regard!

"Our program was developed on the basis of the C language. Now, we can set the initial variables." At this time, the desktop computer in front of Felix has started to the main interface of the program, and then, in the Under everyone's attention, Flix tapped the keyboard nimbly with his fingers, entering line by line commands.

South America, fifty nuclear bombs, 500,000 tons.

When he finally hit the Enter key, Felix easily withdrew his hands and said to the onlookers: "Now, our program may need to run for a while. Now, we are taking a break. How's it going for a while?"

"No, Mr. Felix, can you tell us about your network during this time?" At this time, the scientists with wide eyes were all looking at Felix.
