Chapter 458 Request

"Is this an operating system based on unix design?" Lu Ge looked at the computer screen seriously, as if there was a flower on it.

Qiu Jun nodded and admitted: "Yes, it's basically the Sparc version developed in Unix. This system was designed by Lao Bao, so he can talk about it."

Bao Yueqiao is less than 30 years old this year, and his skin is the darkest among the three. However, unlike Qiu Bojun, Wang Jiangmin is a little thin, his physique is not as strong as a programmer.

The long period of mental labor made his hairline look a little backward, his forehead was big and round, and he had thick-framed glasses on his small eyes. To be honest, his appearance was definitely not handsome.

But when he stood in front of the computer, he suddenly seemed to have changed. His big forehead highlighted his wisdom, and his small eyes emitted a gleam. Bao Yueqiao held the thick-framed glasses on his nose, and his serious aura made Lu Ge a little nervous.

"The name of this operating system is Liu'er Unix. Because the T1 chip is to be exported, it chose the Liu'er logo, which is very well-known in the United States. Of course, except for Microsoft's Windows, other operating systems in the world today can be related to Unix. But I still need to correct a mistake from Colonel Lu. Liu'er Unix is ​​not a Unix-based system, but a Unix-like system. This draws on some of the ideas of Linux, and there are also some ideas proposed by Mr. Zhou..."

What does Zhou Shuo want to do? It is actually very simple. Although Liuer Unix is ​​a special and very powerful operating system for the time being, it will not affect its gradual evolution into a system similar to "Android".

There are several benefits of Android. One is open source, the other is good compatibility, and the third is the platform is open. In Liuer Unix, Zhou Shuo strongly advocated removing the part involving a general public license, which is some content authorized by Gungpl.

gungpl is a software release standard that requires that when a software releases binary executable programs, its source program must be released. The software can be freely flowed, rewritten and copied, and no restrictive terms can be added.

Obviously, such software cannot be sold for money. In other words, if there is such software content in Liuer Unix, it cannot be commercialized. It cannot be commercialized, and it will not be able to attract many software manufacturers to join this platform. Therefore, even if this leads to difficulties in software development, Zhou Shuo still demands that this part of the Unix content be removed.

The Linux system contributed advanced ideas such as network, multi-user, multi-core, multi-task, and multi-threading to Liuer Unix. Zhou Shuo specially tuned back a group of elite soldiers from Liuer Software companies in the United States, and took great pains to bring back the most advanced operating system ideas in the United States through them.

The operating system and the browser originally mean that they are different, otherwise Netscape would not have been too tempted to make an operating system. Google later released the ubuntu operating system based on the browser, and Microsoft would not have tried its best to dominate the browser market.

After staying in the United States for more than a year, the programmer team of these original Liu'er browser development projects has greatly improved both their horizons and abilities. Under the leadership of Bao Yueqiao, the current roughly formed operating system was produced in just two or three months.

Even if the initial version of the Liuer Unix system would not have performed well, Zhou Shuo believes that with these characteristics, Liuer Unix may not be able to replace the achievements of Android in history.

At the same time, even such a simple operating system was shocked by Bao Yueqiao's explanation.

There is not no one in China who makes operating systems. For example, Bao Yueqiao's previous ucdos project has many similar Dos domestic projects. But this is different from writing an operating system from scratch, it is just adding a layer of shell to the crosoftdos system.

Even when the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the National Defense Science and Technology Commission took the lead in doing some supercomputing, they would not want to start over. In the early days, domestic supercomputing used the ibm Aix system, and later most of them used the Linux system. At most, they only made some minor changes on these systems. Major surgeries like Liuer Unix are never able to do.

The reason is very simple. There is no economic benefit. It is not cost-effective to develop an operating system separately for several supercomputers. If you want to promote it, you don’t have a hardware system, so the result is that it will definitely not be able to beat the other person’s x86 system.

Therefore, when Lu Ge learned about Fanhan Group's investment in Liuer Unix, he would be so surprised. Because as long as Liuer Unix is ​​not made to play, it must mean that Fanhan Group has an extremely large plan - to provide enough nutrients for the growth of an operating system.

These nutrients include a new computer system that is best for the x86 system, a new market application field, a software and hardware alliance, and of course, hundreds of billions of investments - USD.

"Mr. Zhou, can I take this prototype away?" Lu Ge confirmed it repeatedly. It was indeed a new architecture computer, and asked cautiously.

"Of course it's OK."

Zhou Shuo didn't think too much about it. Even if he wanted to cooperate with the army, he had to provide a sample first, right? Besides, this laptop doesn't even count the concept computer. The process of the t1 chip cannot be increased, the frequency cannot be increased, the main frequency is only about 30mhz, and it is extremely unstable. The design of the motherboard is fine, but the North-South Bridge chip is just a matter of dealing with the problem. If the operating system is running slowly, it won't be said. Once the calculation volume is increased or the execution of a complex program will crash every three or five minutes...

Even if Lu Ge doesn't say it, this semi-finished product is already eliminated. The news from the imperial capital that the engineering machine with a hardware of nearly 80% completion has been completed and can be delivered to the Xiucheng in a few days.

"Okay, then please lend me a phone number."

Under the guidance of Bao Yueqiao, Lu Ge installed the opened laptop computer back. Then he grabbed the cell phone that Zhou Shuo handed over, thought about it and dialed a phone number.

"Director, I am Lu Ge."

"Yes, I'm now at the Fanhan Group of Xiucheng and have contacted Mr. Zhou."

"That's right, I have a situation here that needs to be reported to you."

...

Lu Ge made a long phone call, and he hung up the phone until Zhou Shuo's cell phone started to get hot and the battery prompts were also ringing frequently.

Lu Ge returned the phone to Zhou Shuo, lowered his head and began to ponder. He recalled every detail he saw in this conference room in a short time.

At the same time, he also thought of the information about Fanhan Group that he remembered in his mind. Currently, China's most advanced chip production line, China's most advanced monocrystalline silicon production plant, the world's most advanced lithography machine production line, China's largest exporter of high-tech electronic equipment, and the second largest high-tech industrial park in China.

Zhou Shuo himself may be the richest value in China, perhaps the most likely scientist in China to win the Nobel Prize, or perhaps the president of the university who is most willing to devote himself to the country...

Thinking of this, Lu Ge couldn't help but take a deep breath and murmured slowly.

"Mr. Zhou, it is probably too early to say how much role the Sparc architecture computers have in C3i and even the PLA modernization. But even the General Staff, General Secretary, and the National Defense Science and Technology Commission did not use your technology after research and discussion - I also want to say that you are really the hope of the future of Chinese computers."

"Col. Land has won the award, we..."

"No, please listen to me." Lu Ge stopped Zhou Shuo's modesty and continued: "I am actually nothing in the imperial capital. In the army, there are many leaders and comrades who are better and more important than me in the organs. I am just here as a soldier of the People's Liberation Army, sincerely asking you not to give up your efforts in the Sparc architecture. Even if your equipment and technology are not adopted in the army this time, I believe that one day you will be able to grow to the same height as your foreign colleagues, and our national defense will not be so poor at that time."

"I hope, hope that one day the most of us can use the high-performance computers produced by us Chinese!"

"I hope our Chinese missiles will no longer be as good as humans because their electronic technology is not as good as humans. They will only hit the wrong targets when they are in the past."

"I hope our planes, tanks, and warships can use our own chips and no longer worry about the war being together, and the enemy will paralyze our weapons with just one command."

"To be honest, I don't have the right to ask you to do anything. My words are not commands or hints. This is just a personal request, a dream..."

"Col. Land, stop talking!" Zhou Shuo suppressed the smile on his face, stretched out his hand seriously, held it hard in his hand, and said heavily: "I also firmly believe that our country can become prosperous and strong. When China's economy becomes stronger, our national defense funds will naturally be sufficient. Our science and technology will gradually step onto the world stage! I think you promise that the Panhan Group will insist on going on this road until one day our army has the conditions to use good equipment. Our Panhan Group will also fulfill our mission and provide the People's Liberation Army with computers produced by us Chinese!"
