257 Academician Lin Qu's Concern
At the Software Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences, Academician Lin Qu came to the Iceman Project control center as usual.
"How is it? Has the territorial map of the Iceman Project changed?" Academician Lin Qu asked as he glanced at the map on the big screen.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that only the regions of Northern Han were still red and the other regions were green. However, there was still a worry lingering in his heart.
The world has been in turmoil recently.
Sunset sent a large number of special envoys to visit other countries.
A huge fleet had also been parading its might on the ocean. They had been arrogant and created all sorts of excuses for visiting.
Every time Sunset went on a trip, the ensuing reports would be almost identical.
The next step will be in-depth cooperation on world internet security and on operating systems.
It was obvious that Sunset's strategic goal during this period of time was to take back the leadership position that it lost in operating system, domain name, and IP.
Moreover, in order to regain control of these three domains, Sunset had already gone all out!
Preparations were underway.
When they were ready to make a move, it would be the time of the storm.
Although the internet's root domain name resolution service is still firmly controlled by the Iceman Project server…
However, Academician Lin Qu was worried that he might wake up one day to find that the green color on the command screen would instantly turn red.
The root domain name server would once again be taken away by Sunset.
Tian Zhi, who was in charge of the Iceman Project, also had a very solemn expression. He was very clear about the current situation.
After hearing Academician Lin Qu's question, he thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Academician Lin Qu, there are no changes to the Iceman Project. It's still providing services to the entire world, except for Northern Han!"
"But…"
"But what?" Academician Lin Qu stopped in his tracks because of Tian Zhi's "but". He instantly turned to look at Tian Zhi, and his tone became nervous.
"The Divine Dragon Software Company just updated the resolution software in the domain name resolution server."
"With the updated software, the MAC address, IP address, and domain name are correlated. Could it be that you want to use MAC group network technology as a supplement to the IP group network?" The resolution software in the Iceman Project server was developed by the Divine Dragon Software Company. It originally had the function of MAC address resolution, but it wasn't often used and wasn't practical. It had never been used.
"Also, the super compression technology has been enhanced. Without changing the speed of the data transmission, the bandwidth of the data transmission has been cut to one-tenth. It's very powerful!"
"After adding this technology, the workload for the Iceman Project's resolution server has decreased by 30%! And the time for users to wait for resolution has decreased by about 70%! The entire network has become more efficient by one level."
"The technology of the Divine Dragon Software Company is indeed worthy of its reputation! It's very impressive," Tian Zhi said with admiration.
After Academician Lin Qu heard Tian Zhi's update, he finally relaxed. "Yes, Li Chengqian's technology is very impressive! If we have a chance, we have to communicate and learn more from him."
"After the software update, is the MAC address resolution volume high?" Academician Lin Qu asked excitedly. Tian Zhi felt that the super data compression technology was important, but he felt that the core of the software update this time was MAC address resolution.
"Uh, we haven't found the data analyzed by MAC for the time being! I think MAC's address resolution might just be an attempt," Tian Zhi quickly replied.
"Alright, get on with your work." Academician Lin Qu frowned after hearing this. He was a little disappointed.
As he walked back to his office, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a problem with the software update.
"Does Li Chengqian already know something?"
"He updated the software in the root domain name resolution server to prepare for what might happen next?"
"Li Chengqian used the MAC network communication technology during the Doomsday Extortion Virus attack. This is a technology that can bypass domain name resolution and directly connect to the internet through IP allocation. Although it's not mature yet, it's very useful."
"I'll ask him what's going on."
"Moreover, Li Chengqian has already finished the university entrance examination. I can take this opportunity to ask him if he wants to study at the Academy of Sciences." Academician Lin Qu had long wanted to call Li Chengqian and ask him what school he planned to enroll in.
However, he hadn't found a suitable opportunity. He had wanted to wait for the university entrance examination results to be released before asking.
Now, he could use this opportunity to ask.
The call was quickly picked up.
"Li Chengqian, I'm Lin Qu!"
Li Chengqian was still in the factory, participating in the test of No. 1, the robot.
After seeing Academician Lin Qu's call, he asked Bai Ze to stop training No. 1, and he answered the call.
"Hello, Academician Lin Qu!" Li Chengqian also greeted him politely.
"When I went to the Iceman Project command center this morning, I heard that you updated the domain name resolution software? You included the MAC address in the system? Why did you do this?" Academician Lin Qu asked directly.
"I feel that MAC's address network technology will be a trend in the future, so without changing the original software design plan, I'll try to do so." Li Chengqian thought about it and decided not to tell the truth.
This matter was too important. Li Chengqian didn't dare to leak any information.
Hearing Li Chengqian's reply, Academician Lin Qu was a little disappointed, but he still asked unwillingly, "How far has your MAC address network technology developed? Do you have the ability to do a point-to-multiple and multiple-to-multiple?"
"As expected, he was from a technical background." When Li Chengqian heard Academician Lin Qu's question, he got nervous because Academician Lin Qu immediately found the crux of the issue.
Point-to-point, multiple-to-multiple access was effectively another internet.
Coincidentally, Li Chengqian had already realized all the abilities Academician Lin Qu asked about.
However, no one must know about this.
Li Chengqian was thinking about how to answer Academician Lin Qu's question.
On the other end, Academician Lin Qu was very disappointed when he didn't hear Li Chengqian's answer after a long pause. "Li Chengqian, this is a brand new field. I know it's very difficult to do this! I hope you can study this area next."
When Academician Lin Qu didn't get a response from Li Chengqian, he was worried that Li Chengqian would blame himself for this. He even comforted him, "It doesn't matter if you are not able to do it now!"
"Thank you, Academician Lin Qu. I will work hard!" Li Chengqian heaved a sigh of relief and quickly replied.
Right on the heels of that, Academician Lin Qu changed the topic to the university entrance examination. "By the way, how did you do in the university entrance examination?"
"It's alright." Ever since the exam ended, Li Chengqian had never paid attention to the university entrance examination.
He had been engrossed in research, developing MAC network technology, and training robot No. 1.
"Have you thought about which school you want to enroll in? Why don't you come to our Academy of Sciences?"
"As long as you come, I promise you that our Academy of Sciences will not interfere with your research and studies. We will fully support any research project you have. As long as there's nothing treasonous or illegal, we will always stand behind you and support you."
"In business, as long as it doesn't damage national interests, we will fully support you! Just like how you want to carry out military research, we can also help you!"
"What do you think?" Academician Lin Qu once again extended a sincere invitation, hoping that Li Chengqian would enroll in the Academy of Sciences.
