Chapter 138 Decentralized Networks
“Decentralized network architecture?”

Xia Zhi has heard this vocabulary before, in computer-related courses, and some school research projects are doing this.

As the name suggests, the decentralized web is the opposite of the centralized web.

What we are using now is a centralized network, with each server terminal controlling data and verification.

For example, frequently watched short video websites, Zhiran video platform.

All videos posted by users are stored in the server database of the Zhiran platform, and then provided by the Zhiran platform for other users to watch.

That is, data such as video is forwarded by a central node, and this center is our common server provider.

Decentralization means removing this intermediate node.

All users are a node.

The biggest benefit is saving data redundancy.

Server vendors do not need to purchase a huge amount of data storage to store user data, such as Zhixia Technology's servers buried in the deep sea.

And it is more secure and private than centralized networks.

As we all know, many unscrupulous service providers in China secretly sell user information because user data is stored in their databases, and their rights are too great.

In a decentralized network, this problem does not exist.

Some people may ask, if the data is not stored in the cloud server, will it take up a lot of memory if stored in your own computer?

After the decentralized network is built, the memory will not be full, because although the data exists on the personal side, it is stored in a distributed manner and has the effect of deduplication.

For example, a movie only needs to be stored in one copy during network transmission, and everyone can watch it.

This movie is ten gigabytes, and the storage shared by one billion computers in the network is about 10B, which is 10 bits, and the storage space of a Chinese character is 12 bits.

In other words, to enjoy a movie, you only need to store less than one Chinese character on your computer.

In addition, governments or server vendors of various countries can also provide node construction for decentralized networks.

Decentralization has many advantages, but it also has disadvantages.

It is precisely because the role of the central node is removed that the role of supervision is gone.

All the information on the Internet is like a vast ocean. In the past, there were gates, and censorship could be set on the gates.

Now that the gates have been removed, regulators are left searching the entire ocean over and over again to police the network.

For the supervision of decentralized networks, the lowest cost is to be monitored and reported by netizens themselves.

This saves the supervision personnel from salvaging everywhere.

In short, the centralized network can realize the rule of law, while the decentralized network is the real rule of the people.

Netizens decide what information to pass on the Internet.

Promoting the realization of the decentralized network is equivalent to the biggest revolution of the Internet.

Who's life?

Revolution is the fate of all Internet manufacturers.

Xia Zhi thought about it carefully, should he do this?

Let netizens realize network autonomy?
He shook his head.

The quality of netizens is worrying.

The development of human social civilization is obviously not in the process of entering the decentralized network.

This is equivalent to traveling to ancient times to become an emperor and suddenly want to announce his entry into the communist society.

If you take a big step, it is easy to pull the egg.

Therefore, Xia Zhi decided not to accept this system task for the time being.

His current No. 1 task is mobile communication technology, No. 2 task is vacant, and No. 3 task is battery technology.

Xia Zhi thought for a while, and then planned to vigorously improve the battery technology.

However, before making such a decision involving the company's main development path, he still used to hold a high-level meeting first.

As the saying goes, the Three Stooges are better than Zhuge Liang, and discussions with others can often inspire him.

Under the organization of Operation Officer Sun Shiliang, many senior executives of Zhixia Technology gathered in the conference room.

Xia Zhi first gave a brief speech:

"The trial operation of the smart city we did in Sucheng was successfully completed, allowing the world to see the ability and potential of Zhixia Technology to operate smart cities. We have now received more than [-] cooperation orders to build smart cities. The concept of smart cities across the country and even the world has taken a big step forward!"

The high-level audience applauded and celebrated.

Xia Zhi lowered his hand and continued:

"Now I'm calling everyone here, mainly to discuss where the follow-up development focus of our smart city is. Everyone can speak freely, and they can say whatever they want. Now give everyone 15 minutes of thinking time, what good ideas do you have? It can be put on paper, and in 15 minutes, let's talk."

Xia Zhi called Sun Shiliang to the corridor and asked other cities about building smart dispatch centers.

Sun Shiliang briefly reported:
"We have selected three cities that are more suitable, and the rest of the cities will not be accepted for the time being, and there are first-tier cities among them."

After listening to the report, Xia Zhi glanced at the time and nodded:
"Okay, let's go in."

Returning to the conference room, Xia Zhi looked at the participants:

"Tell us what you think and whoever comes first."

Charlie from the technology sharing community raised his hand and said:

“The operation of smart cities should be left to an artificial intelligence rather than our employees. This will be more efficient, and it will be feasible to expand our business to the whole country in the future. So I think our company should engage in artificial intelligence in the next stage. "

Someone else said:

"Artificial intelligence is combined with mechanical automation, so that all replaceable labor in the smart city is replaced by machines, improving production efficiency."

Xia Zhi nodded secretly when he heard this.

Autonomous driving and operating systems have been developed. There are no challenging tasks now. If you want to do it, make it big.

He is a little fascinated by artificial intelligence.

At this time, another person raised his hand to express his opinion:

"Smart cities are not only about the convenience of life, but also include the overall improvement of human life, the first of which is human health. I think the focus of our company's next development should be biotechnology."

Xia Zhi looked at the other party and nodded, indicating for her to continue.

The executive from R&D continued:
"Since the completion of the first phase of sequencing work in the Human Genome Project, the amount of tasks left to people is now even greater. More and more biological groups are turning to the combination of computer science, using machine learning, supercomputing and other technologies to study human genes. Our company If you join the ranks of research, it is expected that significant progress will be made within ten years, and it is expected to solve most of the genetic diseases and increase the average human life expectancy to over one hundred years old.”

Xia Zhi couldn't help but nod after hearing this.

This sounds interesting. Immortality has always been the eternal pursuit of mankind.

Then someone else said:

"I think the aircraft proposed in the previous meeting can be put on the agenda."

aircraft?
This has always been what Xia Zhi wanted to do.

Someone retorted:

"Current trams don't have enough power, and even if aircraft can solve the problem of air engines, there is no energy source. Therefore, in my opinion, the first priority of smart cities is to solve the energy problem. When the trams have no power, anxiety can be considered a real convenient life."

Sun Shiliang rarely spoke at a high-level meeting:

"Maybe we should solve the immediate problems, such as the security of communication technology."

"The entire smart city is connected in series by the information channels in it. Just imagine, if hackers invade and destroy it, how much damage will it cause?"

Everyone chattered about.

Xia Zhi was suddenly awakened by Sun Shiliang's words just now.

He knows how to get the last ten mission points of the communication technology system mission.
