The Mystery of the Transmission of the New Wave

This is a special kind of web address that helps your computer find information online.

Imagine you're asking for help from a friend who lives in a big library. You tell them what book you need, and they go find it for you. This web address is like the message you send to your friend, it tells the internet what you’re looking for.

Let’s break it down:

"https://www. bing. com/search? pglt=2083&q=%E7%AA%81%E5%8F%91%E6%96%B0%E9%97%BB&..."

  • "https://www. bing. com" is like the name of your friend’s library, it tells your computer to go to Bing, a place where people can look up things online.
  • "search?" means you’re asking Bing to search for something.
  • "pglt=2083" is like saying, “It took 2083 seconds (or about 35 minutes) to load this page.”
  • "q=%E7%AA%81%E5%8F%91%E6%96%B0%E9%97%BB" is the question you’re asking, it’s in a special code that your computer can read. If you look at it on a computer, it might say something like “发布新闻”, which means "publish news" in Chinese.

So this whole web address is like a secret message telling the internet: Go to Bing and search for "publish news"!
