After accepting this task, which he didn't know whether to call bitter or sweet, Fang Chen suddenly fell into deep thought.

After all, this happened so suddenly that he was not mentally prepared at all, and he became an operator like China Telecom and China Unicom, responsible for building China's backbone network.

For Qingtian, at least for Qingtian Communications, this is definitely a major change that can change the future of the company.

Therefore, Fang Chen's mind was flooded with so many messy things.

Dean Zhu did not urge him, he just took a document from the table, sat back on the sofa and read it.

I don't know how long it took, but Fang Chen slowly raised his head and said, "Actually, I visited the first domestic company engaged in Internet business this time, and got two points of inspiration."

"The first is that China's high-speed network construction is really too backward, and this backwardness is not just in terms of technology and built networks, but in general. Even people in the Post and Telecommunications Bureau don't know how to connect users to the network and log in to the Internet.

, but this point will be resolved soon.”

Dean Zhu, who had been concentrating and planning to listen carefully to what Fang Chen had learned from his investigation, suddenly felt a twinge of embarrassment when he heard Fang Chen's last words.

Especially, looking at Fang Chen's confident expression, he really didn't know who gave Fang Chen such a big face, no, such a proud and ambitious person.

At this moment, Qingtian has not yet been involved in high-speed network construction, and does not even have a dime of technical reserves and asset investment. Why can it be said that China’s high-speed network construction and popularization, as well as user services, will not be improved after Qingtian

, there will be earth-shaking changes.

This is a bit overconfident.

Dean Zhu glanced at Fang Chen bitterly, hoping that Fang Chen would really be able to do it by then.

"Furthermore, building the Internet is very different from building a fixed-line network. To build a fixed-line network, you only need to pull the phone line to the user's home and connect the phone, but the Internet is about content.

.”

"If the Internet doesn't have so many applications and content to meet users' needs, why would users go to the Internet?" Fang Chen said slowly.

In this world, no one except him knows how huge the Internet will develop and how it will have an all-round and profound impact on people's lives.

Therefore, many people still underestimate the Internet, including Bill Gates.

Even though Bill Gates has been very advanced and believes that the future Internet should be an important thing comparable to the operating system, this is still the case.

After all, it is enough to have Microsoft in the operating system, and even at a certain level, Microsoft represents the personal computer operating system.

As for Internet companies, let alone China, let’s talk about Amazon, Google, Twitter, Facebook and other American Internet giants. Which one is worse than Microsoft?

But why the Internet has such influence and is so huge is not because its content is attractive. If it were just an empty piece, just an Internet placed here, it probably wouldn't be attractive to anyone.

This is why he said before that the Internet has some significant features such as the ability to exchange information without space restrictions; the use cost of information exchange is low; the development of information exchange tends to be personalized; information exchange can exist in various forms, etc.

And pointed out that the Internet has the advantages of facilitating communication, social interaction, trade, resource sharing, and increasing the convenience of learning.

The reason why these words are increasingly sought after by the media in the United States and even around the world.

These media, including the public, are increasingly discovering that with the development of the Internet, the characteristics and advantages he mentioned are increasingly reflected, and they even mean to regard him as a good guide.

Isn't this nonsense? These things were all used and experienced by him in his previous life. How can this be inaccurate?

Therefore, despite the fact that at the beginning, the Internet was still just for the convenience of communication, just like the invention of the telephone and wireless telegraphy, it actually quickly developed into an era where application is king and content is king, and on this road, it has become the best in the world.

ran away wildly.

And since you want to create content, you cannot do without one thing, an Internet service provider.

Internet service providers refer to operators who provide the following information services to the public. In addition to providing access services and helping users connect to the Internet, the most important thing is information services, that is, establishing data service systems to collect, process, and store information.

Maintain and update, and provide information content services to users through the network.

Well, that’s right, it’s the server business that everyone is familiar with.

Especially gamers, they are definitely no strangers to the word "server", and it can even be said that they are on their lips all day long.

It has even reached the point where I can write countless books about "My Love and Hate with the Server".

In fact, whether it is online shopping, chatting on WeChat, watching Douyin, or even any Internet activity, it is inseparable from the server.

The server supports all content on the Internet.

Yes, to put it bluntly, if the Internet loses its servers and Internet service providers, then the Internet can only return to being the same as telephones and wireless telegraphs, with only the most basic communication functions.

And because most of these servers are hosted by China Telecom and China Unicom, the two major telecom operators, once there is a problem with these telecom operators, almost all the Internet in that area, including web pages, games, communication chats, short videos, etc.

They will all fall at the same time.

"What do you mean?" Dean Zhu asked in a deep voice.

To be honest, he is a little confused now. After all, when it comes to understanding and knowledge of the Internet, he is definitely not as good as Fang Chen, the "Internet leader."

And what Fang Chen said today was something he had never understood before.

"To build the Internet, we not only need to build a high-speed network, but also need to build a lot of servers. There is no doubt that this is a huge weakness for the country, which does not have the technology and capabilities to produce servers."

Fang Chen said.

Although a server is also a computer and has a CPU, hard disk, memory, system, system bus, etc., it is still very different from a personal computer.

Servers usually have high-speed CPU computing capabilities, long-term reliable operation, strong I/O external data throughput capabilities and better scalability. Only in this way can they have the ability to respond to service requests, undertake services, and guarantee services.

"It can be said that the construction of high-speed networks such as backbone networks determines the upper limit of China Internet, how many users it can accommodate at the same time, and how big an Internet company it can cultivate. The quality and quantity of servers determines how many users there are on China Internet.

Applications and information, and how many people are willing to travel on the Internet!" Fang Chen said loudly.

Soon, Dean Zhu realized the importance of Internet service providers, or servers, as mentioned by Fang Chen.

"Is there any way to solve these problems in China now?" Dean Zhu asked.

"Not yet. We can't even solve an ordinary personal computer well now, let alone a server. Even if we don't consider that the hardware must be localized and solved by ourselves, we only consider the operating system and instruction set.

, the same is true." Fang Chen shook his head and said.

To say that assembling a home computer is already a very simple matter. If you have a little understanding of it, you will know that this thing is something you can do with your hands.

Even the main skill of the computer city guy is not focused on assembling computers, but on how to recommend (customers) and use seemingly similar and specious hardware to obtain greater profits.

But before 1992, before the rise of a large number of motherboard companies and electronic OEM companies, it was indeed difficult to produce a computer.

Everything from the production of the chassis, the adaptation of the power supply, to the adaptation of the motherboard and various hardware, especially the adaptation of the CPU and memory, as well as the selection and integration of the north and south bridge chips, etc., all need to be done by yourself.

This is also the reason why Fang Chen is willing to call Lenovo a technology company before Ni Guangnan left.

The same is true when it comes to servers, although it still looks like a set of things like CPU, hard disk, memory, system, and system bus.

But how to adapt, especially writing your own operating system, is not a simple task.

Not to mention, according to his personality, even if he is using foreign CPUs and memories, one day he will always produce server CPUs and memories himself.

And this difficulty has naturally increased by unknown times.

"Are you confident that we can conquer it?" Dean Zhu asked in a deep voice.

Fang Chen glanced at Dean Zhu with a strange expression and said: "If you have confidence, you have to do it, and if you don't have confidence, you have to do it. Besides, if I say I can't do it, you are not allowed to peel off my skin.

.”

Anyway, Qingtian Chip has been established and plans to build the entire semiconductor industry chain, so he doesn't care. There is one more option to build a server.

Dean Zhu's face suddenly pulled up and he glared at Fang Chen angrily.

He shouldn't ask this question. Anyway, the work has been left to Fang Chen. If he doesn't do it well, it will be Fang Chen's responsibility. He can just hold him accountable directly.

"However, there is one thing that I really need to talk to you about. It's very important." Fang Chen suddenly said.

"What's going on?" Dean Zhu asked seriously.

"Root server."

Fang Chen said solemnly.

There is no doubt that in future generations, China will be the largest Internet country after the United States!

Among the world's top 20 Internet companies selected by Fortune magazine, the United States occupies 11 seats and China occupies 10 seats.

It can be said that in the field of the Internet, except for the United States and China, which are the leading Internet companies, other European countries, Eastern Japan, and even South Korea, etc., have almost no sense of existence and can almost only be passive.

Use American software and read American websites.

This is also the reason why, since the turn of the millennium, the economic growth of countries such as Europe and Japan has slowed down and even become sluggish.

They have almost missed the entire Internet era and the economic development brought about by the changes in the Internet era.

But what has always made China regretful, and even worrying, is that the most important root server in Internet domain names has never been in the hands of the Chinese themselves.

The root server is mainly used to manage the main directory of the Internet and is responsible for the management of global Internet domain name root servers, domain name systems and IP addresses.

Theoretically speaking, if any form of standard domain name is to be resolved, according to the technical process, it must go through the work of the global "hierarchical" domain name resolution system before it can be completed.

The first layer of the "hierarchical" domain name resolution system is the root server, which is responsible for managing the domain name information of all countries in the world. Below the root server is the top-level domain name server, which is the database of the relevant national domain name management agency, such as China's .domain name.

Because it is an IPV4 network, there are only 13 root servers in the world, one main root server is in the United States, and the remaining 12 are auxiliary root servers.

But even among the auxiliary root servers, 9 are in the United States, and the remaining 3 are in Europe.

In other words, there is only one auxiliary root server in Asia, and it is still in Dongbo.

These 13 root servers direct browsers and email programs to control Internet traffic.

Since there are about 260 Internet suffixes approved by the US government in the root server, such as.
