Chapter 1253 The Global Webpage Was Born in the Empire Group Laboratory!

August 31, 1989.

Thursday.

Repulse Bay Hillside Villa.

During this period, Li Zairong has been investigating Hong Kong, especially the Empire Group and Hong Kong Science Park. The more he looks, the more surprised he is.

Now he is about to return to Goryeo.

In addition to reporting the situation here to his father, he will continue to return to the United States to complete his studies.

As for his sister Li Fuzhen, Yang Ming has arranged for her to study international finance at the School of Finance of Oriental University under a pseudonym. The two siblings went to Oriental University to see it. They are very satisfied with the strength of Oriental University.

In other words, in all aspects, studying abroad in Hong Kong is not inferior to studying abroad in Europe and the United States.

"Sir Yang, I am going back to Seoul. Thank you for your warm greeting during this period."

During this period, Yang Ming has been sending people to take Li Zairong.

Like the Hong Kong Science Park, although Li Zairong cannot see the core technology, he still sees many technologies that shock him.

Some people may still think that the core technologies of lithography machines are in Japan, the United States, or even Europe. In fact, the lithography machines under the Empire Group have caught up with and surpassed those in Europe and the United States.

As for other technologies related to semiconductors and chips, they have also caught up.

Before this, the Samxing Group began to pay attention to the development of semiconductor chips during the time of Lee Zairong's grandfather, that is, when Lee Byung-gil was alive. However, the Samxing Group did not have the strength to develop and could only rely on the support of the United States' technology. However, the Samxing Group needed to pay a great price. In this regard, the capital of the United States occupied a large share of the Samxing Group.

However, now Lee Zairong did not expect that the Empire Group itself would develop such an advanced lithography machine. Will Europe and the United States still be the opponents of the Empire Group in this regard in the future?

He felt it was hard to say.

"Brother, I will study hard at Dongfang University." Li Fuzhen looked at her brother and said.

"Be careful. If there are any problems that cannot be solved, tell Sir Yang."

Lee Zairong already knew that Sir Yang had the final say in many aspects of Hong Kong now, that is to say, he was not worried about his sister studying in Hong Kong.

As for whether his sister Li Fuzhen really learned anything, Li Zairong didn't mind it too much. He felt that the biggest significance of his sister staying in Hong Kong was that the Empire Group could further cooperate with the Sanxing Group.

When Yang Ming, Li Zairong, Li Fuzhen and others finished breakfast.

Li Zairong took a car to leave the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa and headed to the new Hong Kong International Airport to take Air Koryo back to Seoul.

Li Fuzhen enrolled in Dongfang University under her pseudonym. During her study abroad, she would live in a university dormitory like other students.

The eldest brother left by car.

Li Fuzhen is still here.

"Miss Li, I'm going back to the Empire Group Building." Yang Ming looked at Li Fuzhen and said.

Some time ago, Li Fuzhen had followed her eldest brother to the Empire Group Building. When she climbed to the top floor and looked out, she was also shocked for a long time.

"Sir Yang, then I'm going back to Dongfang University."

Li Fuzhen wanted Dongfang University, so Yang Ming asked someone to send her back.

Yang Ming, Alina, and Yingla took a car back to the headquarters of the Empire Group Building.

The headquarters of the Empire Group Building.

Yang Ming just returned to the chairman's office.

Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoxun has already come.

Yang Ming habitually stood at the window and looked outside, and He Chaoxun was making him a cup of coffee.

At this time, the landline phone rang.

Lin Xiuzhi went to answer it.

"Boss, it's a call from the laboratory in Xiangjiang Science Park."

Yang Ming picked up the landline phone and was a little surprised when he heard it.

The laboratory has already developed web pages.

A long time ago, Yang Ming started to write his own regional network.

For example, the Empire Group Building has its own regional network.

However, this is still very different from the future Internet.

The most critical point of the Internet is the emergence of web pages.

When it comes to web pages, we have to mention the domain name system.

The domain name system DNS is essentially a distributed database. It stores the serial relationship between IP addresses and domain names, allowing users to directly access the IP address behind the domain name when accessing a specified domain name.

That is, when a user accesses a domain name, the request will first access the DNS system to find the IP address corresponding to the domain name, and then the DNS will allow the user to connect directly to the computer host to which the IP address belongs.

In this way, users no longer need to remember complex digital IP addresses, and a way of accessing the Internet that ordinary people like is born, laying an important foundation for the popularization of the Internet.

The invention and application of domain names allow users to easily, accurately and intuitively find the storage location of the data they need, but because text, sound, graphics and other data are strings of mutually unknown codes in the computer world, it is difficult for ordinary users to find information in "strange" codes unless operated by professionals.

How to let more people find things intuitively, how to unify the format of those codes and present them to users visually, these have become "boulders" blocking the road to the popularization of the Internet.

Historically, these problems were not solved until a Y-countryman named Tim Berners-Lee developed HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and HTML (Hypertext Markup Language).

Similar to how Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf used TCP/IP protocol to solve the problem of data transmission between different computers, HTTP/HTML changed the three different data types of text, sound and graphics from being mutually incompatible into composable data modules.

Tim Berners-Lee was born on June 8, 1955 in London, Country Y. Since his father Conway Berners-Lee and mother Mary Lee Woods were members of the Manchester Type 1 project team, it can be said that he had an indissoluble bond with computers since the moment he was born.

In 1976, Tim Berners-Lee graduated from the Department of Physics at Oxford University, the top university in Country Y, and received a first-class honors degree that year, which was the best among the graduates of that year.

After that, Tim entered the telecommunications industry in Country Y, which was the most profitable at the time, as a software engineer, and was designated as an independent contractor for electronic computer software by the European Organization for Nuclear Research around 1980.

When Tim was helping a nuclear research organization develop data communication software, he accidentally came across "hypertext", a concept first proposed by computer scientist Det Nelson in 1963.

Based on this, Tim came up with the idea of ​​creating a super large document, which would include data from all computer nodes connected to the Internet in the world. The data and documents would establish a corresponding relationship through a behavior called "hyperlink". By clicking on a specific document logo, one could directly access the location of the data behind it.

After graduating from Oxford University, Tim has been engaged in the development of software for computers. Most of what he has been exposed to is data sharing within a small range. Therefore, when the concept of "hypertext" hit his brain, Tim instantly felt that his knowledge was not enough.

So he did not practice "hypertext" immediately, but chose to serve a computer system company that applied "real-time remote procedure call" on a large scale at that time. Through practical work and exploration, Tim's knowledge accumulation began to rapidly "expand" from the field of computer software to the field of the Internet.

In 1984, Tim returned to the European Organization for Nuclear Research and entered the particle laboratory as a formal employee, returning to his old undergraduate major of physics.

Because he had rich experience in computer software development, after completing his basic research work, he was asked to develop a software that could facilitate rapid data transmission and communication for independent laboratories and research institutes.

Although at that time, under the structure of TCP/IP protocol, all computers connected to the network in the world could complete data communication, the process was still extremely complicated. How to transmit and how to receive required professional code-level operations.

In March 1989, Tim officially put the concept of "hypertext" he had encountered nine years ago into practice, and proposed the initiative to establish a data sharing network with "hypertext" technology.

In the summer of 1989, after months of unremitting efforts, Tim wrote HTTP and HTML. The combination of the two and the existing Internet gave birth to a new thing called "Web". Correspondingly, the first Web server and Web access terminal in the history of human hardware were also born in response to the demand for web pages. Through the experimental web pages, operators can easily query the telephone numbers of personnel at all levels of the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

On August 6, 1991, in order to get more people involved in related research, Tim launched the first website in human history (info.cem.ch), where Tim shared his hard work - HTTP and HTML for free.

At the same time, as long as you are willing to learn, the website also provides detailed website building process and how to deal with difficult problems encountered along the way. With Tim's "heartfelt" promotion, web pages on the Internet soon emerged like mushrooms after rain. At the same time, because HTML can recognize and unify various data types such as video, pictures, and text, the Internet has gradually moved from code-level browsing experience to a visual "bright road". People can watch videos and listen to audio through web pages, which greatly reduces the threshold for Internet operations. For this technology, Tim affectionately calls it "WorldWide Web".

The English name of the browser is "Web Browser". As the name suggests, it is the computer software corresponding to the Web (webpage).

After Tim used HTTP and HTML to build a new Internet model called "web pages", in order to use this new model conveniently and quickly, (End of this chapter)
