Chapter 1358 P-T-PNS

Just as the whole society is immersed in the joy of Christmas, IBM in Mountain View is also undertaking a plan to create an era.

"Finally ready to confirm, the countdown is 5 minutes, and the connection will start after 5 minutes." Leon Solan stood in the empty laboratory, his face was full of excitement and tension.

Today, they will be joined by four mainframe computers at the University of Chicago, UCLA, Western High School Manhattan and Stanford.

If successful, IBM's most important plan in five years will be declared a success. IBM Point-to-point networks, referred to as; IBM P-T-PNS, a 'point-to-point network' built by IBM. '

It will revolutionize the world, if the experiment is successful.

"The final countdown is 30 seconds, check again, and return to your position." Leon Solan's palms were full of sweat. Today's success and failure are not only related to the authority of the big boss in the company, but also related to the future of their department.

The "Advanced Project Research Office," supported by the big boss, consumed more than 20 million US dollars in research and development funds in just a few years.

As long as today's experiment fails, the board of directors can take the opportunity to attack the big boss.

Of course, they have nothing to do with the big boss, but they can take the opportunity to reduce the funding of the research laboratory, or worse, shut down the entire project directly.

As the direct person in charge of the 'Advanced Planning Research Office', Leon Solan's future is tied to it. That's why he was so nervous. Leon Solan had already prepared to pack his luggage and leave a few days ago. If he messed up...

"The final countdown is 5 seconds, 5, 4, 3..." When the mechanical timer was adjusted to the last second, Leon Solan pressed the start button himself.

The laboratory was suffocated instantly, everyone held their breath and turned to stare at him.

"Look at what I'm doing, hurry up and see if there's any news, hurry up..." Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Leon almost lost his temper.

Is there a signal on my face, can I tell whether the experiment is successful or not?

With Leon's roar, the laboratory seemed to be injected with fresh air immediately, and everyone returned to normal from the 'standby' state, with busy footsteps intertwined frequently.

"That's it, come on, tell me some good news...it has to be good news, please, it has to be..."

"Dr. Solan, there is a signal." As soon as the voice came to mind, Leon quickly ran to the place he was monitoring.

The University of Chicago, is the response from the University of Chicago, and they succeeded...

"Here, the Stanford line is connected."

"News from UC, wow..."

"Ha, the signal from Western University is here, it's it, it's it, it's right."

The succession of good news made the entire laboratory seething. Everyone stood up from their seats, raised their arms and screamed like a courting baboon.

"Successful, we succeeded." After confirming it himself, Leon was sure that it was true, and when he stopped again, his back was already soaked in sweat.

"Everyone, guys, hey, come here, listen to me..." Leon clapped his hands, letting everyone focus on himself.

"It's dinner time in 4 hours and I think each of you is hoping to spend Christmas with your family... Congratulations, it's a dream come true."

Although everyone is ready to work overtime on Christmas, hearing the good news is enough to make them excited and cheer.

More importantly, this represents this year's year-end award; stable.

Except for the necessary on-duty personnel, everyone else gets off work and goes home for the holidays.

That is to say, now, if another 20 years pass, ‘Working overtime at Christmas, what about dreams? '

After everyone left, Leon also walked out of the laboratory, but he didn't go home.

Folded to the upstairs office,

Leon wants to tell the boss the good news as soon as possible, 'I believe this will be one of the best Christmas gifts. '

In fact, Li Zitao, who heard the news, thought that "one" should be removed.

The success of P-T-PNS heralds the Internet age, and he will be the biggest pusher, making it come into life countless times faster than anyone expected.

"Who's calling?" Mary asked curiously and worriedly when she found that her husband was extremely excited when he came back.

I remember the last time he was like this, I lay on the bed for two days, exhausted physically and mentally.

"IBM, P-T-PNS is successful..." Finding his wife was a little confused, Li Zitao acted as a narrator and began to popularize the importance of this experiment for her.

"If so, will Washington agree to your plan?" After listening to Mary, she first considered it from a political perspective.

If it is as he said, the military will definitely try its best to keep it in its hands, instead of thinking about doing civilian promotion and popularizing sales.

make money?

That should be ranked after national defense and security. The Cold War trend between the East and the West is becoming more and more obvious. At this time, any innovation may be included in the 'strategic protection list.' '

"Actually, IBM has planned ahead of time that there will be two versions of P-T-PNS, one is an encrypted version suitable for the military, and the other is a civilian version used by the public, and there will be no conflict between the two.

What's more, it may take more than ten or decades to achieve popularization. After all, its size is a problem. "

Not everyone has enough space to accommodate a large computer, and not everyone can become a local tyrant who can afford it, and may not be able to afford it.

"Where's Pearl?" Drinking champagne, watching the children playing in the room, but without his daughter, Li Zitao thought she had crawled somewhere to hide again.

The little girl who has grown up is a little obsessed with hide-and-seek recently, and hides herself at every turn. Last time, she hid in the wine cabinet and slept for an afternoon, which almost scared people out of heart disease.

"She is tired from playing and has gone back to her room to rest." Mary pointed to the room and said.

"That's good...Xiao Bin, come here." Beckoning to Li Xiaobin at the bar, Li Zitao wanted to talk to him about something.

"I'll see if the pie is ready." Mary found a reason to leave, leaving time for them.

She really hopes to see that Li Zitao has more communication with her only relative, which is what a normal family should look like.

"Sit down, don't be so restrained." Asking him to relax and sit beside him, Li Zitao handed him a glass of champagne, and asked with a smile after a soft bang; "Recently, the Chinese Alliance seems to be doing nothing."

Two years have passed since the protest to revise the 'bill', but recently he found that this matter has not made any real progress.

The Chinese Association didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about it, but they were very active in their own small territory.

The bill has not been overturned, but social treatment and status have been improved, and they seem to be satisfied with a little favor. Now, they have stretched out their hands from Chinatown, and started to compete with other minority immigrants for land and interests, involving all aspects of business.

The government is happy to see this, as long as they don't come to cause trouble, it's better to let these minorities fight for the leftovers and leftovers.
