The perfect life of rebirth

The next day is August NO.15, the appointment date with Tim Berners-Lee. Mrs. Li had already contacted him before going out with Wang Li yesterday morning, so after breakfast in the morning, Tim had come over in person. Pick him up.

Wang Li, Lin Jing and Lin Dan were asked to go out to play on their own. Mrs. Li and Tim left the hotel and walked to Tim's laboratory on foot. Mrs. Li asked for the walk, and Tim readily agreed. Mrs. Li felt very comfortable with this casual style without too many red tapes. It would be unimaginable to go to Huaxia to greet distinguished guests on foot. Mrs. Li had seen guests already when she was a graduate student in her previous life. When they came to the school gate, the school leaders even sent cars to the gate to take the guests to the administrative building. In fact, the administrative building was less than 500 meters away from the gate.

Although we haven't seen each other for a year, the contact between Mrs. Li and Tim has never been broken, so there are many topics to talk between them, so during the half-hour journey from the hotel to Tim's laboratory, Not only did the two of them not feel bored, on the contrary, they both had a feeling of unfinished business.

When he came to the laboratory, Mrs. Li followed Tim to his office. Tim explained to him again about the report. This so-called report was actually a small-scale academic symposium. The participants mainly It is some students and researchers in Tim's laboratory, and the report is not in the form of a regular report meeting, but these people get together to exchange and discuss some academic issues they care about, and Li The materials to be exchanged had been prepared before he came.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Li followed Tim to a small conference room in their laboratory. Except for the two of them, all the participants had already arrived. When Ms. Li followed Tim into the conference room, they were greeted Everyone in the conference room stood up and gave a warm welcome. In fact, Mrs. Li met most of these people when he came last year, and even exchanged some knowledge with a small number of them. Of course, this is the first time for such a formal exchange meeting. held.

It was also the first time that Tim officially introduced Mrs. Li to his students and researchers in the laboratory, and introduced some of his students and researchers to Mrs. Li. These people, especially those researchers, although they are famous Not as loud as Tim, but they have deep attainments in their respective research fields, and most of them are well-known in their relatively professional circles. In fact, many of the foreign language books and papers on computers read by Mrs. Li in the previous life came from these people However, Mrs. Li is now able to sit with these people to exchange opinions and conduct academic exchanges on an equal footing, which makes Mrs. Li feel a sense of pride and an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

At the exchange meeting, Mrs. Li made a short report on the thesis he wrote, and the presentation software used for the report was Taiji Desktop Office System produced by Taiji Software. In fact, since the release of Taiji Desktop Office Software, it has been With its powerful functions and good user experience, it has occupied more than half of the desktop office market in the United States, and has been included in the office software procurement list by many state governments and universities. Mit is also a very important customer of Taiji Software.

In his report, Mrs. Li did not completely follow what he wrote in his thesis, but also mixed some of his experiences when he communicated with Tim and his own development trend of the Internet in the future, some of which only appeared in later generations. Some familiar things proposed in this era were regarded as whimsical ideas by everyone in the conference room. Mrs. Li's report was not long, only half an hour, but it triggered no less than ten times. Applause.

After the report, there was a discussion. The content of the discussion was mainly aimed at some issues raised by Kang Li in the report, such as the possible role of commercial competition in promoting the development of the Internet and the confusion of Internet protocol standards that may be unfavorable to the development of the Internet. the elements of.

The things mentioned by Mr. Li will appear in the near future. Netscape will launch its epoch-making web browser netscape navigator at the end of this year and early next year, and it will occupy almost all of the Internet browser market in one fell swoop. At this time, Bill Gates also saw a large number of business opportunities hidden in the Internet, so he quickly acquired the core code of a web browser from a company called spyglass, and based on this core code, he launched the famous IE browser in August 1995. , launched a life-and-death battle with Netscape in the browser market. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, the impact of this battle on the development of the Internet is undoubtedly far-reaching. First of all, this battle is huge. Promoted the anti-war of the Internet, but also because it was a life-and-death battle, Netscape and Microsoft continued to implant non-standard things incompatible with each other's browsers in their respective browsers, which led to World Wide Web standards have been chaotic for a while, and the situation did not gradually improve until Microsoft completely abandoned IE8.

In fact, everyone who participated in the discussion of these issues mentioned by Mr. Li is very aware of them, but there is no good solution to this situation, and the current w3c is only a non-profit organization. For some Internet standards It also only has the right to suggest, but not the right to enforce. After all, commercial competition involves the core interests of each company. In their eyes, the so-called standards and the development of the Internet are far less important than their interests.

In the end, Mr. Li proposed a method, that is, a company can launch a browser. If this browser can fully comply with Internet standards and at the same time occupy an overwhelming advantage in the browser market, it may lead other companies to browsers also follow uniform international standards.

Although this method is not a good solution, it is also the best method they can think of during the discussion. However, it will soon be difficult to find a responsible and capable company to take on the heavy responsibility of this unified browser market. It has become a key issue. Of course, some scholars have suggested that if this company really occupies most of the market share, then it is another monopoly, and monopoly is not conducive to the development of the Internet industry. Undisputed common sense.

In fact, Li Kang raised this question in order to create momentum for the launch of Taiji Browser, because under his request, the browser developed by Taiji Software will definitely become the most supportive of various standards among all the browsers that can be seen on the market. The most comprehensive and strictest browser, his purpose is to design Taiji browser as a yardstick that can measure whether a browser supports international standards. Of course, at this time, he will not immediately propose Taiji software and is willing to take on such an important task. , in that case, his purpose is too strong.

After Mrs. Li made the report, the intense discussion lasted for nearly an hour and a half before the whole seminar came to an end with warm applause. Mrs. Li and Tim returned to Tim's office at eleven o'clock in the morning.

"Li, some of your ideas are amazing. I think if I don't stop those fanatics, they will have to carry on this discussion until dark." Tim said to Mrs. Li with a smile.

"In fact, everyone's ideas are very good. On the contrary, although I have some ideas, the depth of understanding of these things is still far inferior to that of you and your colleagues." Li Kang smiled. His advantage is his own Compared with these people, I have more understanding of the development of computer and Internet technology in the next ten years, but compared with the professional level, there is still a big gap with these masters.

"There is a saying that too much humility is pride. You are not yet 20 years old. It is amazing to have such an insight. When you are my age, you will definitely surpass me." Tim said with a smile, Li Kang did not hide his age like him, and his appreciation of Li Kang is partly because Li Kang can often put forward some novel ideas and viewpoints, but also because of Li Kang's age.

"Tim, you have noble character, indifferent to fame and wealth, and profound knowledge. You have always been the person I admire the most, and I will take you as my role model." Mrs. Li said sincerely, although he and Tim have always He has always communicated and dialogued with an equal status, but this has not affected Mrs. Li's admiration and admiration for him from his previous life.

"Li, you are so good at complimenting people, haha..." Tim laughed out loud.

"Li, I think it's best to make some revisions to your paper, add some good ideas discussed today, and then I'll help you recommend it for publication. What do you think?" After laughing, Tim talked about The paper written by Mr. Li, according to Mr. Li's intention, was to be recommended by Mr. Li to be published in some internationally renowned academic journals.

"Thank you for your reminder. I will revise it and send it to you as soon as possible." Li Kang said, because he will leave Boston for San Francisco tomorrow, so the revised paper can only be transferred via email or icq's file transfer function. Sent to Tim.

"Li, are you leaving?" Tim heard the meaning behind Mrs. Li's words.

"Yes, I will return to San Francisco tomorrow, stay in San Francisco for a week, and then return to China. You know, I am still a student." Mrs. Li said with a smile.

"It's such a pity, I wish you could be a member of mit, then we can communicate face to face more often." Tim shrugged.

"It's an honor to communicate with you, too." Mrs. Li said with a smile.

"Li, are you interested in coming to mit after graduating from high school?" Tim suddenly suggested. He remembered that Mrs. Li was still a high school student and was about to graduate soon, so he had such an idea.

"Tim, you know, I don't want to study computers in college." Mrs. Li said with a smile.

"That's okay, as long as you can come to mit, you can study other majors. I will let you be my teaching assistant. You are fully capable now." Tim said again, and now he is trying his best to keep Mrs. Li in Come to mit, as a scholar, it is a very rare thing for him to have a person who can often detonate his thinking to communicate with him.

"Thank you Tim, I will seriously consider your proposal." Li Kang said with a smile. When Wang Lilinjing and the others persuaded him to go to Harvard to study in college, he was already tempted. Now Tim wants him to come to mit again. He also needs to arrange a teaching assistant position for him. This teaching assistant will undoubtedly make his college life more fulfilling, so now he is really starting to seriously consider whether to study in Boston after graduation, and now he feels that he cannot give up. , if he came here to study, he would face a long separation from Wang Li and his daughters, and he would also be in his hometown, parents and brothers in the courtyard for a long time. From the bottom of his heart, he was really reluctant.

ps: My son is sick today, with a fever, runny nose, and coughing, which makes my heart messy. The efficiency of coding is extremely low. There can only be one chapter, sorry.
