Chapter 831 East Germany's Network

Release fifty nuclear bombs in South America! Flix's words were obviously purposeful. You know, just a few days ago, the United States had just issued a statement that if the US aircraft carrier formation was attacked by anti-ship ballistic missiles, the United States would use nuclear bombs to retaliate!

After hearing what Flix said, the participants who were immersed in the previous topic finally came back to their senses and decided to simulate it again. They definitely couldn't afford to wait for a month, and now, simulating a nuclear explosion in South America had certain practical significance, so it was a good opportunity to take a look!

"Okay, we're looking forward to it." Toon said, "Now, do we need to go to your computer center?"

At this time, Thun's intention was already quite obvious. The simulation of this kind of program would probably require a supercomputer. If there was a supercomputer at the University of Berlin, then the supercomputer would be too cheap. So, these people might go to the Ministry of Defense or even Moscow to watch the simulation process. At the same time, the true level of supercomputers in the Eastern world would be exposed.

That thing actually serves the national strategy!

Of course, Thun would not directly say to go to that kind of place, but only said to go to the computer center of Berlin University. Things have changed, and now that East Germany's electronic technology is so advanced, Berlin University may have computers with sufficient performance. It would be nice to go and take a look first.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Flix said, "No, just use the computer in our conference room now."

The one in the conference room? The one that just played the projector? That's just an ordinary desktop computer! If that computer can simulate it, then the conclusion drawn by the Berlin University at this symposium is absolutely a lie! The program must be very simple! It can be run on an ordinary desktop computer, who are they trying to fool?

Although the laymen present were shocked by the content just played, there were also many experts present. When they heard Flix say to use the current computer, they were of course quite speechless.

This time, I'll treat it as a business trip, so I'll go shopping later! Before I left, I promised my daughter to buy me a Walkman.

"Mr. Flix, are you saying that we can use this computer to simulate the situation of this nuclear explosion?" Toon asked. His tone was a little strange, especially when he mentioned this computer.

"Of course not. This computer is just a part of all the computers connected to the Internet." Flix said, "You can think of this computer as a terminal, or a machine for issuing tasks."

Flix's words stunned the experts. What did he mean? Why didn't they understand? What did it mean to be part of all the networked computers? To be responsible for issuing tasks?

After all, in this era, in the Western world, the Internet is not a popular thing.

Historically, the Internet originated from a military network built by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. Department of Defense, called "ARPAnet". This network was officially launched in 1969 and was completely military at the time. Later, by the 1970s, ARPAnet had dozens of computer networks, but each network could only communicate with computers within the network, and different computer networks still could not communicate with each other. Later, in 1974, protocols for connecting packet networks appeared, including TCP/IP, a famous protocol in later generations. However, historically, it was not until 1982 that ARPA accepted the TCP/IP protocol and converted all military computer networks to TCP/IP. In 1983, ARPAnet was divided into two parts: one part was for military use, called MILNET; the other part was still called ARPAnet, for civilian use. And this civilian network was the predecessor of the Internet.

That is to say, at this time, the Internet did not exist in the United States.

However, the Internet has become fully popular in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe!

Flix could only continue to explain: "Our computer uses the KP1831BM286 chip, which is already the best chip in the civilian field. However, the computing power of this computer is far from enough to meet our simulation needs. However, if there are hundreds or thousands of such computers, the computing power will be greatly improved. Therefore, we have developed a set of programs that can be used for distributed computing."

The KP1831BM286 chip is actually a clone of the American 80286 chip. The computing power of this chip is 6MHZ, which is indeed not high. However, if there are hundreds or thousands of such computers working together, it would be absolutely awesome!

You know, supercomputers of later generations were actually assembled in this way, with hundreds or even thousands of ordinary civilian CPUs forming the computing core, greatly improving capabilities.

At the same time, in later generations, because supercomputers were still very expensive, distributed computing methods were developed in civilian computing. The core of this method is the need for a computer that distributes tasks. This computer distributes the data that needs to be calculated to many computers, allowing them to calculate their own parts and then combine them together.

This approach is also quite creative, and the concept of distributed computing is also quite popular. Of course, all of this requires the cooperation of computer networks!

And now, computer networks have become quite popular throughout East Germany!

All these scientists from the West had become country bumpkins at this time. As they listened to the technical terms uttered by Felix, they also lamented that the Western world had fallen behind again in this regard!

"Our program is developed based on the C language. Now, we can set the initial variables." At this time, the desktop computer in front of Flix had booted up to the main interface of the program. Then, under the attention of everyone, Flix's fingers flexibly tapped the keyboard, entering line after line of commands.

South America, fifty nuclear bombs, five hundred thousand tons of equivalent.

When he finally hit the Enter key, Flix easily withdrew his hands and said to the onlookers, "Now, our program may need to run for a while. How about we take a break and move around for a while?"

"No, Mr. Flix, could you take this opportunity to tell us about your networks?" At this moment, the scientists, with their eyes wide open, were all looking at Flix.
