Chapter 292 webofscience
Although Huaxia sent its first email in the 1980s, in fact, until the mid-1990s, due to network hardware conditions and cost constraints, this method of contact was not popular in China. Even in 1995- During the rapid development of the Internet in 1997, the popularity of email was still half a beat slower. In Chang Haonan's impression, it was not until around 2000 that scientific research institutions such as universities and research institutes began to use it on a large scale.
Zhejiang University actually thought of leaving an email address for Fang Zhen, which is still at the forefront of the country in this regard.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being the Internet (9) Internet (6) capital of the future!
In the end, Chang Haonan spent about 10 minutes on this 56kbps bandwidth network and finally sent the email with difficulty.
Before the rebirth, if the network were to be this slow, the operator's phone number would probably be blown up.
But for him, who has been away from the Internet for nearly a year, the requirements for the Internet have been reduced from "smooth" to "just have it."
In 1997, what else do you need for a bicycle?
After sending it, Chang Haonan did not immediately disconnect from the Internet as Fang Zhen said. Instead, he entered several foreign academic database URLs that he thought were established earlier and tried.
Just kidding, even if he keeps half of the funding provided by 14, the remaining half will be enough for the laboratory's half-year expenses. What's wrong with going online?
As he expected, most of the websites he was familiar with were blank.
But fortunately, and to Chang Haonan's surprise, when he entered the URL of webofscience with almost no hope, the computer did not directly pop up a prompt that the domain name did not exist.
After the progress bar read for a full minute, a familiar web page finally jumped out.
“Holy shit…this database was established in 1997…”
Looking at the crude login interface in front of him, Chang Haonan even felt a little moved—
Finally I saw something familiar.
WOS at this time must have just been established, and it was far less content-rich and fully functional than later generations. Chang Haonan spent a long time looking for it on the web page, and even refreshed it twice, but he couldn't find the entrance to register an account.
Of course, even if he can register, this database still requires authorization to view.
However, it is not difficult to obtain authorization.
Before Chang Haonan was reborn, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics had already entered the U.S. sanctions list, but in 1997, it is estimated that only some researchers from universities on the other side of the ocean had heard of such a school in the East.
I am afraid that many of them are known through the paper co-published by Chang Haonan and Xu Yang.
And in order to capture more markets during this period of rapid expansion of the Internet, the United States has also adopted a very open attitude in terms of network access.
So basically it's not difficult to get access to these academic databases as long as the school comes forward.
Thinking of this, Chang Haonan couldn't sit still.
He turned off his computer and cat, grabbed his coat from behind his chair, and prepared to leave the office.
As for the email reply from Zhejiang University...
People in this era generally do not have the habit of checking their mailbox twice every day after going to work and before getting off work. Moreover, today is Sunday, and it will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest.
“Brother, remember to check your email for me tomorrow, and if the other party replies to the email, remember to contact me…”
Chang Haonan originally wanted to remember to contact me, but he immediately realized that the other party actually had no way to contact him.
“Forget it, I'll come over by myself tomorrow.”
“Maybe I should buy a mobile phone…”
He thought this after leaving the office. Confidential matters must not be discussed on the outside phone, but as his business becomes more and more busy, a communication tool that allows people to contact him anytime and anywhere has become more and more important.
Moreover, after completing these horizontal projects started last year, Chang Haonan only has a small amount of 200,000 in bonuses and labor fees. Although he is certainly incomparable with those wealthy businessmen who do business, he can still be regarded as a person. This is a considerable amount of money, and at the same time, the price of an ordinary mobile phone has gradually dropped to less than 2,000 yuan, which is no longer completely out of reach for ordinary people.
While thinking about this matter, Chang Haonan had already arrived at the door of the dean's office in the same building.
Although it was the weekend, Tang Lintian was still inside.
For schools like Beijing Airlines, there is no inequality between colleges.
The School of Aeronautical Science and Engineering is the core of the entire school. Not only are other majors generally set up around its needs, but the dean of the school will also have a stable position as vice president.
So things like applying for a database can be done directly by contacting Tang Lintian.
When he saw Chang Haonan knocking on the door, Dean Tang's face instantly turned into a flower of joy.
This somewhat exaggerated reaction even made the former feel a little chilly, and he hesitated for half a second before walking into the dean's office.
And the door was specifically left open.
“Dean, I...”
As a result, before Chang Haonan could express his intention, the other party stood up directly and pulled him to the sofa next to him.
Then he stood up and took out a silver jar from an inconspicuous small compartment in the lower right corner of the filing cabinet on the other side.
“Xiao Chang, you have earned a lot of face for our school and our college this time...”
Tang Lintian took out the tea leaves from the jar, picked up the kettle, brewed it himself, and placed it in front of Chang Haonan.
With this set of flowing movements, combined with the expression on his face, those who didn't know it would have thought that Chang Haonan was some big leader who had come down for inspection.
“Uh…I…”
Chang Haonan didn't react for a while.
Mainly because there are so many things that he has done recently to bring glory to the school and college, and for a while he didn't even know which one Tang Lintian was talking about.
“Academician Du has already told you that when the time comes to deliver his speech, he must mention the name of our school.”
Now he understood that it should be the matter of attending the event as a youth representative. Du Yishan had told him about it in the car before.
"Of course. After all, our school has provided me with such a good platform. I have never forgotten the well-digger. Moreover, I am also the representative of our school. I must mention a few words."
The straightforward statement made Tang Lintian feel relieved.
Then Chang Haonan found the opportunity and told him the reason for his visit today.
After finishing speaking, he picked up the teacup, prepared to moisten his throat, and then systematically described the value of this database.
As a result, Tang Lintian next to him didn't even blink:
“I will tell the principal tomorrow to apply, apply immediately!”
