Chapter 298 Blog?

"What a pity. If there is a chance next time, I will take you to see that gentleman."

After coming back, Lyrela still had some thoughts about that place.

Because Chinese medicine is now illegal to practice medicine, the other party is very cautious.

"And their massage is much better than mine..." Lyrela obviously admired the other party in this regard.

"But massage and oil massage are not the same thing, right?" Elsa has always wanted to ask this question, and now she finally found the opportunity.

"Well……"

Lyreira didn't know how to answer Elsa's question.

But Catherine didn't care so much at the moment. At this moment, Catherine was looking at the recently established website on the Internet.

Although the construction of the web spider has not yet been completed, because all the content is in the company's three large servers, only a simple search mechanism is needed. But this will not be the case in the future, the number of servers will be increasing.

If there are too many, then my opportunistic method will no longer work.

"Interesting."

Catherine's voice attracted both Elsa and Lyrela.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone opened a personal website online..."

Yes, it was only the 1960s, but someone actually did this? This is really a strange person. But this also illustrates the infinite possibilities of the Internet, and anything can appear on the Internet.

To be honest, Catherine was not surprised by this situation.

The Internet is a magical thing. The current Internet has just appeared and there are no restrictions. It is like an unexplored land. American students like this feeling the most. They follow their own ideas,

They regard the Internet as a tool for them to realize their dreams.

"Guancanghai... Hmm, are they Chinese?" It seems that Americans don't use this name...

But it doesn't matter, just go to the company and check it out tomorrow. If it's really Chinese, maybe it will be really interesting?

"Hello everyone, I am a Chinese..."

Catherine scratched her head. Just now she wanted to go to the company to find information, but she didn't expect that the other party would expose herself on the website.

Taking a closer look, it turns out that this Chinese named Guan Canghai actually opened a small website. However, this website only contains small stories written by himself, which makes it feel like he is amusing himself.

——After all, publishing a novel is unrealistic for many people. But the Internet can make this matter a reality.

Just think about it, a person who has failed to submit articles many times suddenly finds that his novel can be seen by people all over the world. Isn't this a very magical thing?

It is very likely that the other party has this idea.

"I wrote this just out of interest, not for any other reason..."

Catherine sighed, her inference was actually overturned again... Sorry.

But this idea of ​​looking at the sea is quite good. He wrote a story about a killer who has been frozen for ten years. It has a science fiction color and is highly watchable.

"It's a really good book. Ada here seems to like it very much.

Probably the other party's funds are limited, so the rented space is very small, so the website is very simple. However, his traffic is quite good, and it has accumulated tens of thousands so far. But unfortunately, there are many people discussing the plot with him.

Most of them are curious about his Chinese identity.

After watching this novel, Catherine had an idea.

The emergence of personal websites made Catherine think of a new thing - blogging.

Is it... possible to develop a blog system?

It just so happens that if I launch a new server system, the current large server will just be idle. Wouldn't it be a good idea to use it as a blog server at that time?

The original name of blog was weblog, which is composed of two words: web and log. Literally, it means online diary. Later, people who like new terms deliberately changed the pronunciation of the word and pronounced it as we-blog. From this, blog

The word was coined.

A blog is actually a web page, which is usually composed of short and frequently updated posts. These posted articles are arranged in reverse order by year and date. The content and purpose of a blog vary greatly, ranging from hyperlinks to other websites

Publish or post comments about companies, personal ideas, diaries, photos, poems, essays, and even science fiction novels.

Nowadays, personal websites have begun to appear, but it is conceivable that not everyone is so rich that they can rent a server. Moreover, purchasing a domain name is also a large expense. More importantly, it is difficult to create a personal website.

Gathering popularity, but a blog is different.

To put it more simply, when people read online news, they prefer to go to big websites instead of small websites or personal websites. It is for this reason. Everyone has a herd mentality.

And looking at the post posted by Guan Canghai, we can see that the other party just wanted to write something.

However, Catherine does not intend to develop a Chinese website similar to a certain point, because the situation in foreign countries is completely different from that in China, and it is easy to be involved in various problems - more importantly, the price to be paid is far beyond what she can

As a capitalist, Catherine is not optimistic about this industry.

But blogging is a good choice.

In the 21st century, European and American blogs have become very proficient in commercial operations. Bloggers can get tens to hundreds of dollars for every article they write. It can be said to be a very privileged job.

Many people even quit their jobs and sit at home to blog.

Blogging was also a very important breakthrough for Catherine.

After she thought about blogging, she immediately realized the changes that blogging could bring to the Internet.

The "future" of blogs has also begun to be commercialized in China, which is basically determined by the number of clicks on blog pages and the number of clicks on advertisements in blogs. However, the degree of commercialization is not large, and it is difficult to

What can support a person's living expenses is just some extra money at best.

The Internet has not yet developed, and it is impossible to get rich by blogging, but this does not mean that there are no other ways. Catherine first thought of using future blogs in China.

In this case, introducing the advertising mechanism first can be regarded as preparation for the future.

Eat the meal one bite at a time.

Catherine quickly exited the site and then entered the chat room.

Catherine's computer has three versions of QQ installed, and the version Catherine entered is the normal version.

QQ is completely compatible with previous chat room programs, so it doesn't matter even if most people are still using Microsoft II computers.

While in the chat room, Catherine saw a group of people chatting lively about something.

Aikul:Have any of you heard of "Zombie Survival Manual"?

Gregory the Immortal: The Zombie Survival Manual? What is that?

The pad is very long: I heard about it. It seems to be a book similar to Yu’s Nuclear War Survival Manual, right? But there seems to be no official reaction. I really don’t know if it’s true or false.

Catherine was surprised when she saw the chat content.

Wasn't "Zombie Survival Manual" hidden by me? How come it was mentioned by others?

Catherine is a little strange.

This "Zombie Survival Manual" was originally planned to be released in conjunction with "Resident Evil", but Catherine always believed that the time for filming Resident Evil had not yet come, so she could only hide it in the snow, and at the same time, she kept recruiting people to deliver this book.

The survival manual is complete.

But... the secret was leaked?

Immortal Gregory: Zombies? Just like in the movie "Night of the Living Dead"?

Aikul: Yes, that's it. But this one seems a little different. It is said that it seems to be because this thing is probably used to deal with biological and chemical weapons.

Immortal Gregory: Bioweapon?

The pada is very long: It should be a virus weapon, right? But are zombies really related to viruses? The emergence of zombies should come from those areas in Haiti, right?

This "pad is very long" is really knowledgeable.

However, the other party's vision is obviously limited by the times.

Catherine laughed. She really didn't know what his expression would be like after watching "Resident Evil".

Catherine looked back at Ada and Elsa. They both seemed to be a little unfinished, as if they were still missing what they had just said.

"Okay, I'll give you the computer."

Catherine shrugged and left her seat: "I'm going to take a shower."

"Kate, you are so naughty~"

The two of them happily opened the webpage just now, and then began to enjoy talking about it.

Catherine smiled and then entered the bath.

Lying in the warm water, Catherine felt so comfortable. After quieting down, Catherine suddenly thought of what Ada had said to herself before...

"Is it really good to be a star?"

Maybe I can also play a leading role?

Catherine felt that her idea seemed very bad.

Maybe the protagonist of "Resident Evil" can be used? Hmm... It seems that the plot of the movie version can only be used. The game version uses a male protagonist, and how can Catherine play a male?

Then the only choice left is "Alice", right?

But is Resident Evil really going to be released?

Catherine was a little hesitant.

If "Resident Evil" in history was not driven by games, would it really be possible to become popular again?

Maybe hype is a good way to go…

Catherine suddenly thought of the rumors that were spreading on the Internet.

"Well...if the popularity is high enough before the game is launched...then just shoot it!"

Catherine finally settled on it.

…

Time has entered February 1968, and the days have passed without any nostalgia, one day after another.

Although I feel quite sad about the passage of time, sometimes real benefits can make people feel more relaxed than illusory time.

For example, Catherine is currently receiving Mr. Mars from England.

"...In other words, you are planning to build a network system spanning England, Scotland and Wales?"

That seems to be what it means, right?

Originally thinking that the impact of the Internet was limited to the country, Catherine did not expect that the British government would also become interested in this network.

To be honest, Catherine thought that Canada would be the first to contact Ark Group, but she did not expect that this contact person would actually be the United Kingdom.

"Actually, we don't just want to build such a network, we want a network that can connect the entire Europe. As you know, the Soviet Union's 'Siberian Line' is almost completed. We in Europe cannot be left behind.

behind them."

Mars' explanation allowed Catherine to find the real reason why the other party came to find her.

"And we also need a cybersecurity workforce."

Catherine nodded.

Soviet spies were even more rampant in Europe than Americans. The United States can be said to be the safest, relatively speaking, because of the existence of FBI, CIA and other intelligence agencies.

"There is no problem with this at all. I wonder what kind of network you need?"

"Our initial plan is to first build a complete Internet system in the UK, and then build the same Internet system from France, and gradually radiate outward through these two systems."

This feeling seems to give people a feeling of "European Union". But the European Union is not yet formed yet, right?

After large-scale laying, the cost of optical fiber has dropped again and again, and now the cost is a fraction of the original. It was originally expected that one billion US dollars would not be enough to connect the entire United States, but now it seems that

But it's just right.

It is for this reason that Catherine is willing to sit down and negotiate with the other party. If she works hard and finds out that she has lost money in the end, that would be a cheat.

"Can the European network be connected to the American Internet?" the other party asked again.

"This... is possible, but the cost will be very high. If we need to connect Europe and North America, we need to lay a submarine optical cable across the Atlantic Ocean. Our submarine optical cable technology is not mature yet. If it needs to be installed, the cost will be

One question. Of course, if you just need to cross the English Channel, you don’t need to spend too much money.”

The cost of installing optical cables on land is falling rapidly, but when it is under the sea, better optical fibers are needed, and the cost is very high. Setting up a submarine optical cable still seems to be an unrealistic thing, Catherine

It would be better to explain it to the other party early.

The other party seemed a little regretful, but nodded anyway.

However, the other party's words reminded Catherine. Catherine knew that it was necessary to build a submarine optical cable line.

In the 21st century, the networks of various countries in the world can be regarded as a large local area network. Submarine and terrestrial optical cables connect them into the Internet. Optical cables are the "central nervous system" of intercom, and the United States is almost the "brain" of intercom. The United States, as the core of intercom

In the place of origin, there are many ".com" websites or emails, and the data almost has to go around the United States to reach the destination. What connects the "central nervous system" and the "brain" is the submarine optical cable system, which is divided into

It consists of two parts: shore equipment and underwater equipment. Shore equipment packages and transmits communication services such as voice, images, and data.

Because of this, the "Greater China LAN" that many Chinese netizens jokingly call it is actually a highly strategic device.

Just think about it, if the United States dismantles the root server, or blocks all Chinese IP addresses, then China's network will be completely paralyzed! And what should we do at that time? Of course, we can get a brain that can be transplanted!

But Catherine is not worried. So far, the Internet is completely commercially operated. Although there is the shadow of the US government behind it, skycom and intercom are separate. In other words, the US government has their own root server, and

Catherine's intercom is completely two things, and Catherine's Internet is completely a commercial product. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be possible to expand to the whole world in the future.

Now that Catherine is building a European network, she must first establish a root server in Europe, and then based on this, the Internet built in Europe can be used.

However, two sets of root servers are not a long-term solution, and the laying of submarine optical cables in the future is imperative.

The British government seems to be very interested in the submarine optical cable plan. If this is the case, Catherine feels that there is no problem with her future submarine optical cable plan.

Although the cost of submarine optical cables will be very low in the future, that is in the future, not now. Although the small group led by Gao Kun has conquered the technology of submarine optical cables early, the cost has become a very important factor.

If the problem is not solved and the cost is not solved, then there is no need to discuss anything...

After seeing each other off, Catherine became a little emotional.

The Internet is a scourge. Although I am sparing no effort to develop the Internet, once the Internet is truly developed, even if the entire Ark Group mobilizes together, it will be difficult to interrupt the Internet. Even if the network is closed, it will not be possible.

It's possible - in that case, people all over the world will eat ark.

——If in the 21st century, the United States suddenly declares that the Internet is illegal and wants to completely ban it, it would be strange if the American people don't go berserk.

However, after all, such a scourge has more advantages than disadvantages, and Catherine is still happy to release it.

Just kidding, although this beast is not under my control, the benefits it brings to me will not be reduced. As long as the other party does not bite me, the master, then the matter will be over, right?

…

I encountered all kinds of cheating things today. I was stuck in traffic for two hours. I forgot my mobile phone charger at school. The Internet was not available. The newly sold water was missed without even taking a sip...

Finally, I finally found out that it was because I saw Prince Ma not shouting auspiciousness today, and his family was safe...

That’s all for today. Tomorrow, during the National Day, we will resume 6k~
