The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 280 Building a Data Server

The term "cybersecurity" has not even been invented yet, and other countries don't even know what the Internet is, so building a cybersecurity defense line is a distant dream.

As long as their devices dare to connect to the Internet, there will be no secrets for Li Mu.

When necessary, he would even find a way to send some technology to Emperor M and Big Brother.

"If that's the case, then exporting is not a problem." An expert pondered for a long time and finally expressed his support.

Other experts and professors also expressed their support.

They did have doubts in their hearts, but in front of the confident Li Mu, these doubts seemed to dissipate like smoke in the wind.

Those who are able to attend a conference of this level must have known something about Li Mu’s other achievements besides winning the country’s highest first prize in science and technology.

They chose to believe that the young man in front of them could achieve everything he said.

……

A consensus was reached and the meeting ended quickly.

However, this does not mean that their opinions will definitely be adopted by the higher-ups. The specific results still need to be determined after comprehensive consideration by the higher-ups.

After the experts and professors who attended the meeting left one after another, only Guo Mo, Dong Huaxing, Gu Zheng and Li Mu were left in the conference room.

"I'm afraid these alone won't be enough to convince the higher-ups!" Guo Mo sighed helplessly.

This meeting was held simply because no conclusion could be reached through discussion.

In fact, many issues have been discussed repeatedly.

Although the views proposed by Li Mu today have many novel aspects, it is still a bit difficult to convince the higher-ups to make a confirmation.

Li Mu looked at Guo Mo, then at Dong Huaxing and Gu Zheng, and said with a hint of enlightenment, "Okay, I do have something else to say."

"In fact, we not only have advantages in semiconductor standards, but also in computer networks..."

He talked about the role of the Internet and how it is possible to obtain information about any Internet-connected device in other countries through the Internet.

"So, a lot of their information will be transparent to us in the future?" Guo Mo widened his eyes in surprise.

Dong Huaxing and Gu Zheng, who were standing by, couldn't help but breathe heavier.

"Of course not." Li Mu shook his head, breaking the fantasy of the three people, and said: "They will realize this sooner or later, and as long as they use the LAN, we will not be able to easily obtain information."

"However, before that, as long as they upload it to the Internet, there will be basically no secrets for us."

"That's enough!" Guo Mo said excitedly.

It is impossible to think that it can be obtained all the time.

But even if only a part of it is obtained, it will be beneficial and harmless to the Xia Kingdom.

The key is that when Emperor M and Big Brother realize this, they can only swallow this loss because they cannot prove that Xia Guo obtained their information through the Internet.

Li Mu smiled and continued, "So we not only need to sell the Model 01 computer, but also make it sell better and better."

"The more computers become available there, the more we will benefit in the end!"

Hearing his words, the eyes of Guo Mo and the other two became brighter and brighter.

As for whether stealing technical information is shameful, no one would think so.

There is no right or wrong between countries, only interests.

……

Wait for Li Mu to leave.

Guo Mo, Dong Huaxing and Gu Zheng discussed for a while and quickly reported the content of today's meeting.

As for the plan to use the Internet to obtain other national secrets, it is too important and once leaked, it is likely to cause unpredictable consequences.

So Guo Mo chose to go to a small courtyard in person to report the plan.

……

This way, Semiconductor Research Institute.

Li Mu took a car and arrived at the station in no time.

I looked at the time from my watch. It was just past 10 o'clock.

"Fortunately, it doesn't affect today's work." Li Mu straightened his collar and walked towards the laboratory building.

Although the idea of ​​network intrusion is good, what network can be more useful than the chat page in his mind?

It's just to give the higher-ups some reassurance.

If the plan to export the Type 01 computer was really shelved, the subsequent development of the computer industry and even the semiconductor industry would be seriously affected.

How long can a machine cost hundreds of thousands of yuan to build with government support? The only way forward is to combine industry, academia and research.

"In the final analysis, it's because I lack confidence!" Li Mu sighed in his heart.

If the country is strong, let alone exporting Type 01 computers, it can even export Type 02 computers, as they will be obsolete after a short period of use anyway.

Thinking of this, Li Mu became more eager to enhance the country's industrial base.

As he was walking, he suddenly stopped. His original plan of going to the second-generation supercomputer development group changed, and he turned to the CAD software development group.

……

In the laboratory.

Wang Shoujue was discussing the subsequent upgrades of CAD with Liu De and others.

Although the staff in the institute is not so tight now, there is still a shortage of people, and we cannot spare more experts and professors for the time being.

Apart from Li Mu, he is the only one who can go.

When he was talking about the drawing auxiliary tools that provide orthogonal, object snap, polar tracking and other tools, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure standing at the door out of the corner of his eye.

"Hey, you're such a busy man. Didn't you just give me some instructions not long ago? Why are you here again? Don't you believe me?" Wang Shoujue teased with a smile.

Li Mu originally planned to wait for him to finish before coming in, but upon hearing that, he smiled and said, "How could I not trust the director? You have a great reputation in our institute."

"I'm here for another thing - to set up a data server."

"What is a data server? Is it used to store data?" Wang Shoujue asked puzzledly.

Liu De and the other two in the room were also confused.

The server was invented in the late 20s with the emergence of computer networks. Its purpose was to connect small computer devices to external machines to form a more powerful computer network.

Of course, there are differences between data servers and data servers, which are mainly for data storage, data management, data backup and data security.

Seeing that no one understood what a data server was, Li Mu explained:
"At present, our CAD software relies on running on a separate computer, and the data is not connected to each other, so there is no way to communicate and collaborate with each other."

"The data server provides an environment for centralized management and sharing of CAD files for each different computer, thus achieving team collaboration."

"With it, every computer within a certain range can access the CAD files stored on the server and modify them."

He explained the functions of the data server one by one. This was also the reason why he suddenly ran over just now.

The reason why I thought of it just now is that when I was developing CAD software, I had not yet started studying the Internet.

But now they have done some research on the Internet, and they have a feasible basis for building a data server.

Wang Shoujue understood it instantly after hearing it, and exclaimed: "Sure, if this can be achieved, then it will be much easier for everyone to collaborate on the design!"

"But should we start now? We may be short of manpower."

As he spoke, he looked at the three people in the room. Including him and Li Mu, there were only five people.

"Director, Consultant Li, we are confident that we can complete this task!" No matter how slow Liu De, Wang Fuxing and Zhang Wang were, they finally reacted and spoke quickly.

Li Mu waved his hand and said:
"I believe in your abilities, but this is not something that can be accomplished by just the three of you."

"Well, put aside the CAD upgrade that you are doing and build this data server first."

"I will try to recruit more people later to ensure your development goes smoothly."

"Okay, we'll follow your arrangements, Consultant Li!" Although Liu De and the other two were still a little hesitant, they quickly nodded in agreement.

They know now is not the time to show off.

Seeing this, Li Mu immediately said: "Okay, then we will start a meeting to discuss it right away."

At this moment, Wang Shoujue on the side interrupted and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go talk to the director and call a few people over."

After saying this, he left in a hurry without waiting for Li Mu to reply.

……

Less than ten minutes passed.

Wang Shoujue brought the two old professors into the CAD R&D group laboratory.

Li Mu had an impression of both of them. They were from the network group. Although they were older, their daily research schedule was still very full, not much less than those young researchers.

As if seeing his confusion, the two old professors said with a smile: "Advisor Li, you can order us around as much as you want. Don't worry, we are both still strong!"

"Professor Zhou, Professor Lu... Oh, forget it, come in for the meeting." Li Mu looked at the two people with determined eyes and knew that it was useless to refuse at this time.

He took the five people into the small meeting room next door.

Without further ado, he got straight to the point and said, "The structure of a data server mainly includes a central processing unit, memory, storage device, motherboard, power supply unit, and network interface card."

"Among them, the CPU is the well-deserved 'brain', responsible for executing computing tasks and processing data; the memory is used to temporarily store data and programs for quick access and processing; the storage device provides space, which is required to have high-speed reading and writing and low access time..."

Li Mu first introduced the several components of the data server.

These were the materials that Ask read when he was still building the bridge. He spoke of them with confidence at this moment.

After he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but be infected by his confidence, as if they had already seen the day of success.

Wang Shoujue was the first to come to his senses. He quickly turned his attention back to his research and asked, "CPU is easy to say. Our technology is currently at the forefront of the world."

"But will the memory used to temporarily store data and programs for quick access and processing be the same dynamic random access memory used in second-generation supercomputers?"

He had never heard of the word memory, so he could only think of it as storage.

"That's right, but it has to be faster and better." Li Mu paused for a moment before saying, "I recently had an idea to upgrade the dynamic random access memory."

“I call it synchronous dynamic random access memory.”

"Compared to the former, all operations of the upgraded new memory are controlled by the system clock, ensuring a higher clock speed and more efficient data transmission, and it also has great advantages in the refresh mechanism."

Developing a new memory was a plan he had planned, and he was going to bring it up after the storage system group made another breakthrough.

But it doesn't matter if you do it a little earlier.

"What about the server's motherboard? It should be different from that of a computer, right?" Wang Shoujue asked.

Li Mu said: "Of course, the server motherboard is designed for high stability, high performance and high compatibility, and it must have high-capacity memory and more memory slots..."

He continued to introduce it to several people one by one, and also tested Liu De and the other two, asking them to analyze what kind of layout design the motherboard should adopt.

……

The discussion on the development of CAD data server came to an end at 1 p.m.

Without even having time to eat, Li Mu quickly went to find Wu Youxiang and continued to talk about asking the Institute of Computing Technology for people.

The latter was helpless after hearing this and couldn't help but said, "If you continue like this, I'm afraid you will have to empty their entire station. Old Yan will definitely be angry with you!"

……

After separating from Wu Youxiang, Li Mu quickly went to the cafeteria to finish his lunch.

Then he plunged into the laboratory and continued his research work.

On the CAD data server side, Liu De and the other two needed some time to digest the information after today's meeting.

But that doesn't mean he's okay.

Since he had raised the issue of synchronous dynamic random access memory, he would definitely go to the second-generation supercomputer storage system development team.

By assigning this part of the research task to others, Wang Shou felt that their pressure would be much less.

……

While Li Mu was working diligently in the laboratory.

The envoy of the Big Brother boss visited the External Exchange Committee and brought Big Brother's suggestion - to restart the exchange student program.

The top management quickly held a meeting to discuss the implications behind this.

Although many people believe that Big Brother is merely coveting their technology, this does not prevent more people from thinking that this is a good opportunity to ease relations with it.

There is no way. Being sandwiched between Emperor M and Big Brother, and being excluded by the two major camps in the world is really unpleasant.

Even as the big brother, he will not take action against them for the time being.

But don’t forget, there is another country in the southwest that absorbed the legacy left by the Big Infant and is known as the third most powerful military country after Emperor M and Big Brother!
After some discussion, the top leaders of Xia State quickly reached a consensus and accepted the exchange request.

Of course, it is not an unconditional exchange, some conditions have to be put forward.

……

Special building.

Li Mu finished a day's research and returned home.

After resting on the sofa for a while, he quickly got up and went to the study.

Just as I was about to continue drawing the design of the Xuanniao-1 helicopter, a "ding~" message prompt sound suddenly rang in my mind.

Open the chat page.

As expected, it was Ask, and there was no one else but him: "Li, what should I do? The little rich woman is coming to find me!"
