Although Xing Baohua makes it sound simple, putting together all the hardware is quite difficult.

The computer room and external servers use fiber optic technology. 45Mb/s single-mode fiber has been available since the 1970s, and in the 1980s, Corning's technology enabled speeds of up to 400MB/s. The transmission distance can reach 50 kilometers.

Of course, these are all theoretical data from the laboratory, without any external interference.

If data is downloaded directly from the server, Xing Baohua only needs a speed of 40Mb/s.

Current routers simply don't have that many ports for large data volumes.

To save costs, operators typically use telephone lines, commonly known as ADSL, which limits users' access to high-speed networks.

At this stage, fiber optic cables were too expensive, and neither users nor operators could afford the high line costs.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at the lines used by the servers, they are basically all hosted in data centers, and even if they are not in data centers, they are far away from the data centers.

Now that we have fiber optic technology, all we need to do is get an optical modem, right?

Let's not even talk about the hardware in the modem, but about the protocols in the software.

It handles high-speed broadband, storage broadband, and internal switching broadband. The broadband interface buffer space executes comprehensive protocols for input and output traffic.

Next, we need to modify the interface throughput and forwarding rate, which in turn involves the packet loss rate.

On the hardware side, it requires specialized chip design, which is definitely not feasible in terms of time or capability, and designing chips independently is too costly.

Xing Baohua's only idea was to find a microcontroller to use as a CPU and a graphics card chip for computing performance, combining the two chips.

The architecture cannot be changed; only the instructions can be modified.

Another point involves caching; the larger the cache, the larger the amount of data it can handle.

Since having his own lab and employees at the HK Software Park, Xing Baohua hasn't personally developed anything new in a long time.

To develop an advanced optical modem, you need to hack into the operator's server and modify the modem's data in order to obtain support and operate the account.

Xing Baohua explained the principles of P2P download technology to them and asked them to form a group to write the program, saying that a large file size was fine.

If you explain the most basic server node, they'll understand instantly.

After all, this thing was also modified from internet trackers, and the principle is the same.

Having this software is at least for stabilizing the speed and keeping the rate within a certain value, thereby saving time.

The original P2P was very simple; Xing Baohua couldn't even seed the things he wanted to steal.

Otherwise, we could expose some things.

This technology cannot be exposed yet. If it is stolen, people will definitely investigate. After all, Xing Baohua's work is still somewhat crude and will definitely leave clues.

The connection to the seed node is established from the other party's server, and it is overloaded with a large data stream, so it cannot be concealed.

Xing Baohua originally intended to use this technology in his own entertainment company, utilizing compression technology to achieve online playback.

For now, we can only postpone it for a while and see if there are other solutions or to purchase this type of technology.

After assigning tasks, Xing Baohua personally went to the software park to find materials and prepare for his own research and development.

He wasn't entirely at ease with the technical staff at the software park. Aside from having them develop existing company projects, he felt most comfortable handling Xing Baohua's side jobs himself.

After all, the work they were going to do wasn't exactly honorable. What if the person they found to help was also a mole? If something happened in America or Japan, and they investigated some clues, and then they tallied up the accounts, wouldn't Xing Baohua's dirty deeds be exposed?

He found several microcontrollers and two graphics card chips in the software park laboratory, and verbally asked someone to bring him a lot of electronic components and several circuit boards.

Call Huahong Telecom and ask them to send him a Cisco server modem and a home modem.

Should we modify it? We need a reference point.

At this stage, the enterprise-level modem is slightly larger, about the size of a meter box, and also quite heavy. The heaviest component is the power supply unit, which involves transformers and includes several large capacitors.

The large size is one thing, but Xing Baohua is confident he can reduce it. He needs to refer to the logic chipset program and instructions inside to get this thing.

The internet has many protocols, and most of them are generated here. Copying these protocols ensures smooth network usage.

Of course, protocols are one aspect, but another is the firewall. The first firewall in the first-generation product was on the modem, and then on the router, and then on the network card.

Layer upon layer.

These things can't stop hackers, but without them, a protocol can't be formed, and without a protocol, the network won't support it, so these things still need to be added.

Xing Baohua had someone carry a bunch of parts home, but as soon as he entered, he saw that the guy who had drunk too much the night before was still there.

He paused for a moment, then told the guard to put his things in the study first.

"I thought you had left," Xing Baohua said, looking at the young woman sitting in the lobby drinking coffee.

"Come on, how rude! I haven't even thanked you yet. You've really impressed me; you're quite the gentleman." Jin Xin said with a smile, tilting his head slightly.

"Don't praise me. I was so drunk that I was powerless. If you weren't drunk and could still move, why didn't you come up here?" Xing Baohua pretended to be innocent, which made Jin Xin's shoulders shake and laugh.

"Next time I'll drink less and be more proactive," Jin Xin continued with a smile.

"No way, I'd rather die than drink with you. Let's talk business here, wait for me to come back! Let's skip everything else!" Xing Baohua said.
