After listening to Fang Chen's description of the importance of the root server, Dean Zhu remained silent for a long time.

After a long time, Dean Zhu sighed and said to Fang Chen: "Is there any way to solve the root server?"

To be honest, at this moment, he was really lucky that there was someone like Fang Chen in the country who had an absolute understanding of the Internet and could even be called an "Internet Pilot".

After all, no one had ever told him about something as important as a root server before.

However, if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem strange. As a new technological product that has just emerged from the United States, domestic scientific research and technical personnel naturally do not have a comprehensive understanding of the Internet, and even many of their understandings and

The insights are all gleaned from foreign newspapers, periodicals and magazines.

In comparison, naturally it cannot be compared with someone like Fang Chen, who has a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the Internet.

But after hearing this, he was even more scared.

Now that we have realized the importance of the Internet and decided to vigorously develop the Internet in China, after all, China has lagged behind in the fixed-line network for too many years, and we must not lag behind in the Internet!

It feels really bad that the domain name management rights are in the hands of the United States, or even Japan and Japan, who may wipe China off the Internet at any time.

"Well, there are some ways, but one thing you have to know is that you definitely don't want to think about the main root server. The United States will never give us control of the main root server even if it kills you. The only way it can think of is the auxiliary root.

Server." Fang Chen said.

Not to mention, the United States is indeed the birthplace of the Internet. Now the main body of the global Internet, most of the web pages, software, and users belong to the United States.

Let's just say that since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States has become the world's hegemon, the only superpower, with financial hegemony, oil hegemony, military hegemony, technological hegemony, cultural hegemony, and absolute right to speak in public opinion.

Is it possible for the United States to put things like taproot servers in China and let China control its lifeblood?

Impossible.

But the auxiliary root server, relying on its relationship with Clinton, Bill Gates, and the Jewish family, can still be achieved by spending some money and working hard.

Let’s not talk about the United States, which has ten primary and secondary root servers. Even small Europe has two secondary root servers. Then why does Asia, the world’s largest state with 70% of the world’s population, only have one secondary root server?

server?

And it is still placed in the easternmost part of Asia, Dongbo. This is obviously unreasonable and unfair.

And if a auxiliary root server is placed in China, at least all Asian countries north and west of China can connect to China's auxiliary root server. Compared with connecting to Japan, there are thousands of kilometers left.

This country is thousands of kilometers long, but how many thousands of kilometers are there in dozens of countries? How much construction costs can be saved?

After all, you must know that this kind of cross-regional network connection requires the laying of submarine optical cables.

Submarine optical cables can be said to be an important means of contemporary international communications, responsible for 90% of international communications services, and are the main carrier of global information communications.

In other words, the networks of all countries in the world can be regarded as a large local area network. Submarine and terrestrial optical cables connect them to form the Internet. Optical cables are the central nervous system of the Internet, and the United States is almost the brain of the Internet.

Just now, in 1995, the number of submarine optical cables that have been laid around the world has reached more than 100,000 kilometers, and China's first submarine optical cable connects Dongbo.

It can be said that thanks to the auxiliary root server, Dongbo, the easternmost country in Asia, has become the center of the Asian network.

Even before the global submarine optical cable system was completed and put into operation, all Asian countries that wanted to access the Internet had to pull a submarine optical cable to East Japan.

And because the Internet is developing so fast, people's demand for communication has increased exponentially. Countries often build not just one submarine optical cable, but many.

China alone has eighteen submarine optical cable access points. As for how many submarine optical cables there are in each access port, it is probably a very scary number.

However, Fang Chen suddenly thought of a question. What if the Asian countries to the north and west of China are only connected to China.

In such a large Asia, among the 47 countries and regions except Eastern Japan, it seems that only South Korea is left that does not belong to the connection range of China...

Fang Chen nodded lightly, it would be good to let these two brothers in distress be companions, and he hoped they would not fight.

Furthermore, there is nothing that can be done about it. China's geographical location is much better than that of the East Japan. There are only fourteen countries bordering it by land.

And there is no one like Dongwa.

As long as China can have a secondary root server, and so many countries are connected to the global Internet through China, everything will be easy to say, and China will not be so passive.

After all, once the United States cuts off China's connection to the Internet, it will almost mean cutting off the Internet connection of more than 40 countries in Asia, and even all of Asia.

It can be said that by that time, all of Asia will be the hostage of China.

"This is understandable. China wants to have a main root server. Unless the Internet is built by China, it would be great to have a secondary root server. In this case, if something goes wrong, we will not be completely unable to fight back.

.”

Hearing what Fang Chen said, Dean Zhu immediately thought of the mysterious reason and said in a brisk tone.

"China has a main root server. How can I say, with the advancement of technology, this day will come." Fang Chen said with a smile.

Dean Zhu nodded slightly, not paying much attention to Fang Chen's words, assuming that Fang Chen was just trying to comfort him.

After all, after having dealt with the United States for so many years, he still knows the United States very well.

The United States, as Taizu said, "U.S. imperialism is very arrogant. It will be unreasonable wherever it can be unreasonable. If it can be unreasonable at all, it will be forced to do so."

The United States can see even the biggest interests and want to take them forcibly, let alone something as important to the future as the Internet.

But Fang Chen himself knew that his words were not just a simple relief, but a reality that would be truly realized in later generations.

The core of the Internet currently built in the United States is the fourth version of the Internet Communication Protocol, referred to as IPV4.

IPv4 is a connectionless protocol that operates on the link layer using packet switching, which is a way of naming domain names.

In fact, it has the same meaning as the license plate number and house number.

Since it has the same meaning as the license plate number and house number, it means that the domain name address is limited and will be allocated.

Therefore, in 2018, almost all of the 4.3 billion domain name addresses included in IPV4 have been allocated.

This means that the development of the Internet will reach a bottleneck. After all, no new domain name addresses mean that no new websites will appear.

However, there is no need to worry. As early as 2009, IPV6 domain names were officially put into operation. IPV6 domain names are almost unlimited. At the current speed of domain name usage by humans, they will not be used up in 50 years.

Now that the number of domain names under management has increased, and countries around the world have realized the importance of root servers.

So it’s not like when the United States deploys IPV4 root servers now, they are stupid and don’t know the importance of root servers. The United States likes to put ten root servers on its own territory, two in Europe and one in Asia.

Africa doesn't have any shit, it doesn't matter.

However, under the strong demands and even coercion of various countries, the United States had no choice but to agree to deploy twenty-five IPV6 root servers around the world.

Of course, on the surface, the United States still claims that this is to lay a solid foundation for the establishment of a multilateral, democratic, and transparent international Internet governance system.

Among them, there are three main root servers, one each in the United States, China, and Dongbo. As for the auxiliary root servers, there are three in China, two in the United States, and zero in Dongbo.

The next auxiliary root server, India, known as the little bully in South Asia, will have three servers at once, which means that all countries in South Asia can connect to it.

France also has three servers, Germany has two servers, Russia, Italy and the like all have one server. Even Africa has established a auxiliary root server in South Africa.

It can be said that China has won a great victory in this battle for IPV6 root servers, breaking China's past dilemma of not having a root server, and has become the country with the most IPV6 root servers in the world, not to mention one of them is a main root server.

.

However, this is also the reason why China has been vigorously promoting IPV6 domain names in recent years and even mandated that major websites must support IPV6 domain names.

After all, if the website still has an IPV4 address, it will be restricted by the United States, but if it has an IPV6 address, China itself has the final say.

After chatting with Dean Zhu for a few more words and enjoying a working meal with Dean Zhu, Fang Chen slapped his butt and left.

After all, looking at the tasks assigned to him by Dean Zhu, building the backbone of China's high-speed network, being responsible for the operation of the northern network, building servers, and getting auxiliary root servers to China, none of them are easy.

Not long after Fang Chen left, Secretary Xu knocked on the door and walked in to report: "I contacted Dean Liu, and Academician Liu said that he had never heard of the plan to build 13 root servers in the United States.

"

Speaking of this, Secretary Xu paused and said hesitantly: "So, otherwise, you don't have to worry about this matter..."

Academician Liu is a master of computer networks in China and the main think tank of the Government Affairs Council on computers and the Internet.

If he has never heard of it, then there is a high probability that this matter is not true.

Dean Zhu frowned, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "Academician Liu has never heard of it, but it does not mean that what Fang Chen said is false or wrong. After all, when it comes to understanding the Internet, especially in the United States

In terms of status and relationship with some important figures in the United States, Fang Chen is far above Academician Liu, and it is actually normal for him to know some things that Academician Liu does not know."

The reason why he asked Secretary Xu to ask Academician Liu was not because he didn't trust Fang Chen, but because he was in his position and faced with such a big matter, he had to be cautious and seek verification from many sources.

Hearing what Dean Zhu said, Secretary Xu sighed softly in his heart, knowing that this would be the result.

It's really strange. Dean Zhu usually treats others with a serious smile, never gets angry, and never blindly listens to someone's words. But when he comes to Fang Chen, he will actually interrupt him, and even sometimes Fang Chen

Big or small, he doesn't care.

Especially what Fang Chen said, I almost trust him 100%.

Listening to what he just said, it is obvious that he is leaning towards Fang Chen.

To be honest, if you didn't know this, you would probably think that Fang Chen was Dean Zhu's illegitimate son. Otherwise, with Dean Zhu's selfless character, how could he be so good to Fang Chen.

But to put it bluntly, if he were Dean Zhu, he would most likely do the same if he met someone like Fang Chen who was patriotic, more capable, and willing to take responsibility, or even a genius.

He has basically experienced all the meetings and conversations between Dean Zhu and Fang Chen, and in front of Dean Zhu, Fang Chen never cares whether the matter is related to him, whether he can do it, or what the price will be.

, as long as it is beneficial to this country and this nation, Fang Chen will agree to it without hesitation and do it well.

Who wouldn't like such a person?

"Call over and ask the Second Department of the General Staff to check on this matter and confirm whether it is true. If so, ask other relevant departments to follow up and see if they can think of a way. You can't always do everything.

Rely on Fang Chen." Dean Zhu said in a deep voice without raising his head.

Secretary Xu nodded and went down.

As for Fang Chen, before he arrived at the company, Fang Chen called Shen Wei and Jin Zhijiang and asked them to book the fastest flight to Yanjing. He had something to tell them.

As a result, Shen Wei and Jin Zhijiang suddenly felt like Monk Zhanger was confused and had no idea what Fang Chen meant by making such a fuss.

Moreover, in their memories, it was rare that Fang Chen asked them to go to Yanjing in such a hurry.

After arriving at Qingtian Building, Fang Chen asked Wu Maocai to invite Duan Yongping over to him after Duan Yongping finished the meeting.

After more than half an hour, Duan Yongping walked in, while Wu Maocai's face was slightly red with embarrassment.

"You finished the meeting so quickly?" Fang Chen looked at Duan Yongping and said in surprise.

Although he did not increase the number of company meetings, he also knew that Duan Yongping would usually hold meetings for half a day, and sometimes he would even have to hold seven or eight meetings in succession.

There is no way, Qingtian is too big now. Even though it has hired many Q4 level company vice presidents, Duan Yongping is still very busy.
