Global monopoly of technology

Qin Weimu didn't leave immediately. Although the discussion just now was very enjoyable, it was not enough, and it was more.

At this moment, as it was going on, Xiaona's voice responded: "Master, although I should remain silent, two strange visitors asked to visit."

"Let them wait." Qin Weimu said lightly.

...

At the entrance of the Science and Technology Complex, two middle-aged men in formal attire stood at the door, checking the progress of their watches from time to time.

Unknowingly, another half hour passed, and there was no other way, so the two had to return to the car to rest.

When it was almost done, I got out of the car and asked for an interview. What I got was Xiaona's electronically synthesized voice response.

Not free yet!

One of them couldn't help but vomit: "I have to say that this pendulum is really big enough. I have been waiting for more than an hour."

Another companion said: "We didn't make an appointment in advance. Even if we make an appointment, they are eligible to play this score. It's not bad to come uninvited and not be blasted away. Calm."

Time passed by one minute and one second, and another ten minutes passed without knowing it. At this time, the two of them finally saw something inside.

The two saw the butler and Qin Weimu of the complex building coming out through the outer gate. She got into a luxury commercial car and drove away, and saw that the butler did not return to the building, but walked towards them. When they came, the two could not help but feel refreshed.

But I think of us, I have been waiting for two hours, it's cold.

"You two, please come with me."

Under the leadership of the butler, the two strange visitors successfully passed the smart security check channel and entered the science and technology complex building. Seeing the full sense of science and technology inside the building, they knew they had found the right person.

Of course, the premise is that Luo Sheng is willing to pay attention to them.

The two came to the large living room in the residential area. Luo Sheng was here at the moment. When he saw two strangers, he looked around for a moment and asked them to sit on the curved sofa next to him.

"The two... don't look like entrepreneurs who came to me for financing." Luo Sheng sat comfortably on the single sofa opposite them, a big man sitting.

Sister An Qingxue brought the coffee table, more than half a cup of tea was presented one by one, and then left silently.

"Mr. Luo, I'm deeply sorry for taking the liberty to visit. I introduce myself. I, Cheng Jianhua, is the person in charge of the implementation of the Snowman Project." As soon as the other party came up, he reported himself directly.

Snowman Project?

When Luo Sheng heard this term, he couldn't help being stunned.

Of course, this is his inner activity, and there is nothing unusual on the surface. For a big-time figure like him who has seen countless big scenes, expression management is the basic quality.

Snowman project.

Of course Luo Sheng knew it, but what surprised him was that the memory of the previous life seemed to be initiated in 2013, and now these two strange visitors reported this plan as soon as they came up, indicating that it was actually two times ahead of schedule. Planning began in about a year, or even earlier.

Cheng Jianhua didn’t know this. He thought Luo Sheng didn’t understand the meaning of these four words, so he explained: “The so-called'Snowman Project' was led by my country’s Next Generation Internet Engineering Center and was designed to replace the current version of IPv4. The next-generation Internet core protocol proposes a complete set of root server solutions and technical systems based on IPv6, facing emerging applications, and independently controllable."

Cheng Jianhua added: “When the technology becomes mature, we will join with the Internet m-root operator WIDE organization to recruit 25 root server operation volunteer units from around the world to jointly sign and secret key signatures and secrets for IPv6 root server operations and domain name system security extensions. Carry out verification tests on key rotation and other aspects, and the deployment of IPv6 will reshape the country’s competitiveness in the future."

Luo Sheng first expressed his surprise when he heard about this plan for the first time, and after thinking about it for a moment, he said: “There is still a lot of work to be done to truly realize the multilateral co-governance of the global Internet. Trial operation and clearing of technical obstacles will not only win more international supporters, but also promote the progress of corresponding standardization within the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)."

Cheng Jianhua and his accompanying colleagues nodded involuntarily, sighing secretly that they deserve to be the world's first person in the world of science and technology. A simple sentence deeply understands the essence of the pros and cons.

It is not unreasonable for the country to promote the "Snowman DNS Project". China, as a global Internet power, does not have its own IPv4 root server. These servers are in the hands of Americans. An American can have 6 IP addresses. An average of 26 people in China share an IP address, which makes it annoying and helpless as a big country that is already the number one Internet user in the world.

Luo Sheng said in a deep voice: "Whether it is to break the monopoly of the West or IPv4 itself, this matter should indeed be planned ahead of time.

The total length of the so-called IPv4 address is 32 bits, which means that only 4.29 billion addresses are available at most.

With the explosive growth of the number of Internet users, as of the end of last year, the number of Internet users in the world has exceeded 2 billion. More and more devices are connected to the Internet. IPv4 exhausts the entire number of addresses is the foreseeable future.

The length of IPv6 has reached 128 bits, adding a total of 340 trillion IP addresses. Even if everyone on the planet has dozens of networked devices, they are more than a mess.

More importantly, if the country wants to break the Western monopoly, it must have its own main root server.

Although the virtual network is virtual, its establishment is supported by its actual material foundation, that is, one server after another, and the data exchange has to stop when the server is up.

For example, Bluestar Technology’s server is down. No matter whether it is WeChat friends, Bluespace, Bluestar Video, Weibo, etc., no messages can be sent, because the online communication is ultimately completed by offline machines.

At present, there are only 13 root servers in the world, one main root server is in the United States, and the rest are secondary root servers, nine of which are also located in the United States, and one in the United Kingdom, Sweden and Japan.

China is currently the country with the largest number of Internet users in a single region in the world, and there is not even one!

This situation is not difficult to understand. As the "lifeblood" of the Internet, this "lifeblood" is held in the hands of others. This feels very uncomfortable and too insecure.

Cheng Jianhua took a sip of tea and said without rush: "With the continuous development of the Internet, the threat of cyber warfare is increasing, and the'Stuxnet' virus that occurred last year prompted the'Snowman Project'. The birth of an important event driven..."

He gave Luo Sheng a detailed introduction to the cause and history without any concealment. Although he has not stated the purpose of this, he also knows that a person like Luo Sheng with super IQ must know that he is here to hope that he can join the "Snowman Project." .

The reason for the matter should start in 2010. At that time, the US military carried out the "Stuxnet" virus attack on Iran, which caused the collapse of the Iranian nuclear power plant and directly led to the nuclear leak. Since the occurrence of the incident, cyber warfare has become a key research topic for national defense and security. .

God knows how many Internet viruses similar to "Stuxnet" or even more terrifying exist in the Americans, and the global Internet under the control of the United States is an ever-present deadly threat to other countries.

If someday Americans block the domain name and IP resolution of the Chinese Internet, then the domestic domain name and IP will be inaccessible, the entire Internet will be paralyzed, and the mirroring root server is not the best alternative.

For a country to develop, it must be in line with the world, and it must completely get rid of the control of the American root server on the Internet.

Otherwise, Lao Mei will give you a "shutdown", who can stand it?

Cheng Jianhua watched Luo Sheng methodically and said: “Once the global deployment of 25 IPv6 root servers is completed, they will completely get rid of the Internet hegemony of the United States. According to the plan, IPv6 will be fully applied in China in five to eight years, with 1 main root and 3 A secondary root server is in the country, so it will not be caught in the address allocation. This is a big victory to ensure the dominance of my country's network."

"From commercial websites to government websites, IPv6 will be fully supported, covering 20% ​​of Internet users worldwide, and 50% of Internet users around the world in ten years. In fifteen years, IPv6's network scale, user scale, and traffic scale will exceed IPv4. Ranked first in the world, it has fully completed the upgrade to the next-generation Internet, completely ending the time of US Internet hegemony within 30 years of history."

Luo Sheng suddenly realized that the original opportunity that led to the birth of the "Snowman Project" was Lao America's cyber attack on Iran's nuclear facilities last year.

At the end, Luo Sheng also asked bluntly: "Does Director Cheng want me to join the research and development of the Snowman Project?"

Cheng Jianhua nodded: "Yes, you are not only the world's top developer, but your corporate scientific research team also has the top engineer team in the country and the world. We think that if you have your support, the'Snowman Project' The success time progress bar must be at least three or even five years in advance."

Speaking of this, Cheng Jianhua glanced at the accompanying colleague and smiled at Luo Sheng and said: "Nowadays, no one in the world knows the name of the'Blue Coast Laboratory', and the East's'Bell Laboratory' is even more popular among netizens. This is the R&D center of black technology."
