Red Soviet Union

In South America, unleash fifty nukes! Flix's words are obviously purposeful. You must know that just a few days ago, the United States just issued a statement that if the US aircraft carrier formation is attacked by anti-ship ballistic missiles, the United States will use nuclear bombs to fight back!

After hearing Flix's words, the participants who were immersed in the topic just now came back to their senses and re-simulated. They absolutely couldn't afford to wait a month. Now, they simulated the South American nuclear war. Explosive, also has a certain practical significance, you can just watch it!

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

At this time, Thun's intentions are quite obvious. The simulation of this kind of program may require a supercomputer. If there is a supercomputer at the University of Berlin, then the supercomputer is too worthless, so maybe these people I will go to the Ministry of Defense, or even Moscow, to watch the simulation process, and at the same time, the true level of supercomputers in the eastern world will be exposed.

That thing actually serves the national strategy!

Of course, Thun would not directly say to go to that kind of place, but just said to go to the computer center of the University of Berlin. It's also good to have a look.

Who knows, after hearing his words, Flix said: No, just use this computer in our current meeting room.

In the conference room? The one that just played the projector? That's just a normal desktop! If it is said that the computer can simulate it, it means that the conclusion made by the seminar held by the University of Berlin this time is absolutely deceptive! The program must be pretty crude! An ordinary desktop computer can run it, who can fool it?

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

Come here this time, treat it as a business trip, let's go shopping later! Before leaving, he promised his daughter to buy a Walkman.

Mr. Flix, you mean to use this computer to simulate the situation of this nuclear explosion? Thun asked, his tone was a bit strange, especially when talking about this computer.

Of course not. This computer is just a part of all the computers connected to the Internet. Felix said, You can think of this computer as a terminal, or in other words, a task distribution machine.

What Flix said made the experts stunned. What does this mean? Why can't you understand? What is part of all networked computers? Responsible for assignments?

After all, in this era, in the Western world, networking is also something that has not been popularized.

In history, the Internet originated from the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the US Department of Defense to build a military network called ARPANET (). This network was officially launched in 1969, and it was completely used by the military at that time. Afterwards, in the 1970s, there were already dozens of computer networks, but each network can only communicate with each other within the network, and different computer networks still cannot communicate with each other. intercommunication. Later, in 1974, a protocol for connecting packet networks appeared, including tcp/ip, a well-known protocol in later generations. However, in history, it was not until 1982 that arpa accepted the tcp/ip protocol and transferred all All military computer networks are converted to tcp/ip. In 1983, it was divided into two parts: one part for military use,

Called; the other part is still called, for civilian use. And this civilian network is the predecessor of the Internet.

In other words, at present, the Internet has not yet appeared in the United States.

However, the Internet has been fully popularized 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, but 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 can be improved by leaps and bounds. 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, but if there are hundreds of such computers working together, it will be absolutely amazing!

You must know that the supercomputers of later generations are actually combined in this way, that is, for ordinary civilian use, hundreds or even thousands of them form the core of computing, greatly improving their capabilities.

At the same time, in later generations, because supercomputers are still very expensive, a distributed computing method has been developed in civilian computing. The core of which is to have a computer that assigns tasks. The calculated data is distributed to many computers, allowing them to calculate their respective parts and then combine them.

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 the computer network!

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

And these scientists from the West, at this time, all became bumpkins. They listened to the technical terms that Flix said one by one, and at the same time sighed that the Western world lagged behind again in this respect!

Our program is developed based on the C language. Now, we can set the initial variables. At this time, the desktop in front of Felix has started to the main interface of the program, and then, in While everyone was watching, Flix tapped the keyboard nimbly with his fingers, typing line after line of commands.

South America, 50 nuclear bombs, 500 kilotons 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. Now, let's take a break. How about the activity for a while?

No, Mr. Flix, during this time, can you tell us about these networks of yours? At this moment, all the scientists with their eyes wide open looked at Flix.
