Chapter 225 Hacking Holy Land

[The ranking on the fan list seems to have not been moved for a long time. Xiaoqiang is thinking, doesn't anyone want to explode... and YH_CC_'s **?]

In the northwest of Boston, across the Charles River is the famous city of Cambridge.

Cambridge's history can be traced back to 1630, where the British Puritans who first settled in the Boston area established "Newtown". In 1636, Harvard College, the predecessor of Harvard University and the first higher education institution in North America, was founded here. People hope that this town will become the same university town as Cambridge in the United Kingdom. In 1638, the town was renamed "Cambridge". The town was upgraded to Cambridge in 1846.

Orlando will soon get Lin Hong's loan card ready.

Two days later, Lin Hong finished reading all the books in his hand. On the weekend, he rode Arthur's bicycle alone, crossed downtown Boston, crossed the Harvard Bridge, and came to the world-famous Cambridge.

In the small city of Cambridge, there are two world-class universities, ranking first and second in the world respectively. They are Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University. As a result, Cambridge has become the most typical model of higher education and research in the world. Cambridge is well-known overseas and has become a holy place for students all over the world.

After dozens of minutes, Lin Hong came to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

At the beginning, Lin Hong was still very strange. Why didn't he see the school gate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology? He got out of the car and asked someone to know that he had gone deep into the campus at this moment, and not far away was the main building of the college.

It turns out that all universities in the United States are the same. There are no school gates and walls. Their university is integrated with society, which is no different from other buildings. Buses, sightseeing buses and taxis are at their convenience, and tourists and visitors can go in and out at will.

I unknowingly came to the holy land of hackers - MIT!

Since reading the book Hacker, Lin Hong has always been yearning for MIT. Although MIT is not far from Boston, he has never taken the time to come here.

He has often fantasized about what he will encounter and what kind of mood he will have after coming to this hacking place. But I didn't expect it. I have entered the MIT campus without notice.

What kind of consideration is this based on a university without walls?

Lin Hong looked thoughtfully at the MIT student with a confident smile on his face that kept passing by, and he already had a vague answer in his heart.

Lin Hong was not in a hurry to go directly to the library, but rode his bicycle through the most famous science and technology university in the world today. I want to observe for myself what the "most prestigious school in the United States" written by the New York Times is like.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology is recognized as the best in the world's University of Technology. Its name is well-known overseas and has become a scientific temple that students from all over the world yearn for and flock to. The natural and engineering sciences of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are well-known in the world, and its management, economics, philosophy, political science and linguistics are equally excellent.

In addition. MIT's research and development of high-tech weapons and the top-secret Lincoln Laboratory in the United States, the world-leading computer science and artificial intelligence laboratory, the world's cutting-edge media laboratory, and the Sloan School of Management, which has trained many of the world's top CEOs, are also famous and valuable assets of MIT.

Before that, Lin Hong had consulted relevant materials and had a certain understanding of the history of Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

At the beginning, he was also surprised why the Chinese used to call Massachusetts "Marsetts". Later, after consulting the relevant information, it was found that the name originated from the translation of the Qing Dynasty. In the early days, the Chinese translated the English "State" into "province", and directly referred to Massachusetts as "Mexas" for short. Up to now, overseas Chinese communities are still used to calling it this way.

Large dome building, student dormitory, Newton Building, laboratory building, stadium, museum, Darwin building...

Lin Hong took a look at the main buildings in MIT. However, he did not find the location of the library and finally stopped in front of the student dormitory next to the large dome building. He saw a familiar thing at the entrance of the student dormitory - the CDAD device.

After thinking about it, Lin Hong took out his calculator from his pocket, then opened the SMS program and sent a message to his left hand... Do you have time now? I'm in front of the student dormitory building No. 10, MIT.]

The left hand is a MIT student, but they have never met. Since Lin Hong has come here, he thinks that if there is a chance, he might as well meet him.

Know more people and you can benefit yourself. This is the experience Lin Hong has learned from his past experience.

This detail can also show that his personality is slowly changing. If he hadn't done this before, he wouldn't have done it at all. What he rejects most is to meet strangers and even don't want to make a phone call.

Originally, Lin Hong just tried to send a message to ask. If the other party didn't receive it at the moment, or was busy with other things, he went to the library by himself.

Unexpectedly, only a dozen seconds later, his left hand replied.

[Left hand: Wait for me for a moment, I'll be right there.]

After a while, Lin Hong heard someone calling his English name behind him... Lin Hong turned his head and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, because he found that the other party was actually an Asian young man.

"Are you a left hand?" Lin Hong tried to ask in Chinese.

"Yes, I'm the left hand." The other party smiled, "I didn't expect you to be Chinese, haha! What a surprise!"

"I'm also a little surprised." Lin Hong never thought that the SAM members he had been chatting with were also Chinese like himself.

Then, the left hand introduced himself. His name is Xie Jinhui, from Taiwan, and he is currently in the Department of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

They are all members of the SAM Association, and they are all Chinese. The distance between them is instantly pulled to the nearest, just like old friends they haven't seen for a long time.

Then. His left hand deposited Lin Hong's bicycle with a friend. Then he took him to visit several classic scenic spots again.

The left hand has lived here for more than a year, and has already knows all the buildings and allusions here. As he walked, he introduced Lin Hong. He respected him a lot here in his words, and strongly recommended that Lin Hong come here to study after graduating from high school. Although there are countless people who want to study here every year, the left hand feels that Lin Hong has the strength to stand out.

Lin Hong smiled at this. In his mind, it seemed that going to college was still far away. He hasn't planned to study anywhere yet.

The left hand told Lin Hong that the reason why the university is a university is that there are masters in the university.

In MIT, maybe a very inconspicuous old man. He is a worldwide science award winner.

As soon as the left hand finished saying this, I really met an Ivan Suzelan, the winner of the 1988 Turing Award, because of his outstanding contributions to computer graphics. The Turing Prize is the Nobel Prize in the field of computer science.

The left hand is very familiar with MIT's celebrities, and it seems that he has made a special understanding of this area.

I took Lin Hong to the front of the library with my left hand... I have some personal affairs later. I can't continue to be with you." The left hand said with some apologies.

"It's okay. You go to work first. I mainly came to the MIT library to check the materials today.

"When will you go back in the afternoon?"

"About four or five o'clock."

"Well, I'll be fine then. Let's have dinner together in the afternoon, and then I'll call two other classmates. They are also Chinese students. How about that?"

"Well, I'll contact you with this then." Lin Hongyang raised the calculator in his hand.

"Haha, okay. With this, it's really convenient. The left hand smiled. Our branch has also installed a CDAD device in the library reading room, and you can send me a message directly at that time.

The head of the MIT branch is the left hand. The branches of the SAM Association have been built all over the country, and the MIT branch is the best and fastest developing.

While the two of them were talking, a middle-aged man with long hair and a long beard passed by them and entered the library.

His clothes are a strange robe. A huge word - "freedom" is written in red paint in the front, and "software" is written in blue in the back. There are no shoes on the feet, and they are directly barefoot, and they wear a certain red hat obliquely on the head, which is very unique.

Lin Hong noticed that many students pointed out and whispered to this person after seeing this person.

"Who is that person?" Lin Hong looked at the other party's back and said curiously.

"He, Richard Stallman, is also a celebrity in our school. He was originally a researcher at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and later established the 'Free Software Foundation' to actively promote free and open source software and has a lot of fans in the school. But in my opinion, he is also a weirdo. As long as it is commercial software and hardware, he opposes it. He often tells others that 'the freedom of software is related to the freedom of mankind' and calls on everyone to oppose commercial software. Many people think he is a paranoid and crazy.

The left hand left first because there was something else to do.

The MIT Library was built in 1916. The building is relatively old-fashioned, but the interior of the library is very huge. The whole library complex consists of five major libraries and several branches, with a collection of 18 million books and 19,000 magazines. In addition, there are microdata, maps, music scores and other materials. The library has a total of 200 staff.

Lin Hong is also a person who has seen the world. From Grandpa Xu's private library to the Beijing Xicheng District Library, the larger one is the Latin School Library. And now he is standing in the library of the most prestigious university in the world, and he naturally feels a lot of emotion.

Because the library is relatively large, Lin Hong looked at the floor plan of the whole library in front of him, inquired about the area where the computer books are located, and went straight to the goal.

Computers originated from MIT, so the computer books here are also the most complete and up-to-date. There are not only all kinds of books printed in batches, but also some manuscripts, internal teaching plans and manuscripts that cannot be seen elsewhere.

Lin Hong walked all the way, and he had already held several books in his hand in a short time.

UNIX Network Programming, Internet Internet with TCP/IP, Computer Programming Art, In-depth Understanding of Computer Systems...

Lin Hong looked all the way, and he was so dazzled that he wanted to read every book.

As Orlando said, this is a real treasure house, with countless precious treasures waiting for people of insight to come and dig. These treasures are endless, and everyone can get them as long as you want.

Lin Hong finally stopped in the middle of a bookshelf, because he found his goal this time - "POSIX Standard", a full four large thumb-thick.

Lin Hong happily pulled out all four books. A huge hole was exposed on the bookshelf, and he could see the opposite side of the bookshelf.

Lin Hong saw that there was a middle-aged man with long hair and a long beard at this moment.

The other party smiled at Lin Hong and then asked, "Young man, are you interested in the POSIX standard?"

"Yes, I came here today to borrow this set of books." Lin Hong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

The reason why he was a little stunned at the beginning was that this person was the weirdo he just saw at the door. ( To be continued) RQ
