"Prime Minister, what would you like to see first?" Natsume Haruko asked with a smile.
"Haha, I don't surf the Internet often, so I don't know what websites there are. But since you want to see it, let's take a look at the official website of the Fusang government!" Fusangpeople were very far-sighted when it came to certain things, such as official websites. When many countries didn't have official websites, the Fusang government had already created their own official website.
Of course, the establishment of this official website had a lot to do with Natsume Network. After all, the entire Fusang government had begun to reform its office through the Internet, so an official website was necessary.
"Okay, then let's use the traditional telephone network to access the official website!" Natsume Haruko said.
In fact, there were two computers on the table at this time. One was connected to broadband, and the other was still connected to the traditional telephone line. This was naturally to create a sharp contrast.
Natsume Haruko first entered the name of the Fusang government's official website into 51 search. After waiting for about two seconds, the search results appeared on the web page.
It was a little faster than the normal internet speed! When the guests who often surfed the Internet saw this speed, they knew that Natsume Haruko didn't deliberately reduce the speed of the telephone line to show the speed. On the contrary, it was a little faster than normal.
Then, Natsume Haruko clicked on the Fusang government's official website, which ranked first in the search results. After that, she had to wait for more than two seconds.
As the official website of the government, it was inevitable that it couldn't be like many websites in this era, which only had text. The web page must have pictures.
Therefore, the Fusang government's official website took a long time to open. The audience watched the browser's progress bar slowly move forward. After waiting for about five seconds, the entire website was displayed.
However, this wasn't the entire website. Only the top part of the web page was displayed. If you scrolled down, you would find that the website below was still blank. At most, there were some black boxes, indicating that there were pictures or text in the boxes that needed to be loaded. These all took time.
In the end, it took about 12 seconds for the front page of the entire government's official website to be fully opened. However, if one looked closely at the title, one would find that almost one-fourth of the images were not actually opened. Instead, a small X symbol was displayed, indicating that the page had failed to open and needed to be refreshed.
It was estimated that many netizens in 2020 would be so irritable that they wanted to hammer their desks. But in 1998, this was a very normal thing. No one would find it strange.
The Prime Minister had also logged onto his own official website, so he naturally knew about this.
After the demonstration of the traditional telephone line, it was time for broadband.
Natsume Haruko returned to the front of the computer with the broadband installed. Then, there was a clear click of the mouse, and the computer screen changed.
Then, there was another sound, and the scene changed again.
"What? So fast? "The audience below the stage and the prime minister on the stage were all dumbfounded. The two clicks were less than a second apart.
In just a short amount of time, not only had 51 completed the search, but even the official website of the Fusang government had been opened.
From the beginning of the search to the website being fully opened, the whole process added up to less than two seconds.
After opening it, Natsume Haruko used her fastest speed to scroll down and display the entire webpage. In the end, there was not a single blank page on the website. All the content and images were refreshed almost instantly.
Compared to the page next door, which was still full of small crosses, even a fool would be able to feel the difference between this page and the one next door.
"Broadband, it's really fast!" The guests could not help but exclaim, but this was just the beginning.
Then, according to the plan, Natsume Haruko entered a website called "51 Image" in the "Don't Search" category.
"This is an image library. It stores a lot of images, many of which are high-definition images. Visitors can enjoy these images for free. If they are willing to pay a sum of money to become a member, they can download these images and use them on their own computers and webpages!" Natsume Haruko introduced.
This was a new website launched by 51 Image. As soon as it was launched, it was widely praised.
After all, the current Internet was not the Internet of the future. This kind of image could be easily searched. Now, there were very few images on the Internet. Even if there were, almost all of them were at the pixel level. Only 51 Image provided a large number of high-definition images for download. This was very necessary for many netizens' work.
Therefore, 51 Image soon began to make money, helping 51 Image's share price to rise a lot.
However, this website was a disaster for people who used traditional telephone lines to surf the Internet. It took nearly three minutes just to open the homepage of Image 51 and the browser of the telephone line. Only then did the webpage open. However, half of the pictures were XX and needed to be refreshed.
On the other hand, although the broadband on the other side also took some time, it was at most about five seconds. The homepage of 51 Image was opened. There were all kinds of images, from scenery and buildings to beautiful women, densely covering the entire webpage. Everyone was dazzled.
Then, Natsume Haruko deliberately clicked on a picture of Mount Fuji on the homepage. As a result, in less than three seconds, a high-definition, 720p image occupied the entire screen. The snowy Mount Fuji was so carefully displayed in front of everyone. Some sharp-eyed guests even saw two tourists climbing the mountain in the picture.
"My God, it's so fast!!" Many guests who often looked for images on the Internet were stunned. It was normal for them to wait for a high-definition image to be refreshed and loaded for a few minutes or even more than ten minutes.
As a result, it was refreshed in less than five seconds. What kind of speed was this? What kind of progress was this?
"I must install broadband!! I must install it!! "The next moment, these guests shouted crazily in their hearts. It was fine when they had not experienced broadband before. Now that they saw the speed of broadband with their own eyes, they directly wanted to throw the old phone line into the sea.
However, no one at the scene knew that this speed was actually limited. If Xiamu's network was not limited to the standard of 2020, it would be able to reach the network speed around 2012. That was to say, it would not be a problem to open a high-definition picture in about 0.5 seconds.
So why did the Daqian limit it?
Nonsense, if it was opened to full speed now, how could it be upgraded in the future? How could it squeeze toothpaste?
The most important thing was that every time it squeezed toothpaste in the future, wouldn't it be a small fee for the network upgrade?
