twenty

In 1978, grandma's Intel series of famous pioneering work 8086 should be out this year, Cao Changchang thought depressed.

The next few decades were the bloody monopoly history, and Cao Changchang was resentful of it. In his dream, he had to take out a lot of silver to buy an X86 architecture garbage processor, knowing that the performance was extremely frustrated, but the market was huge, and he relied on his weight to crush countless challengers.

In the past, Cao Changjiu was a staunch anti-X86 person, believing that this kind of garbage was really not for human use, and the architecture was complex and ugly, but it was the mainstream of the desktop market, which simply tarnished the reputation of microprocessors. It's a pity that the anti-X86 front fell apart and existed in name only, and even Apple defected.

So far, Cao Changjiu finally understood a truth, the general trend of the world is irreversible, and people should be guided by the situation and obey their fate. Those who are exterminated are bears, and survival is the last word.

This is what he realized after being hit hard, I think he also joined an international open source organization, trying to design an open source system from hardware to software, trying to subvert the Microsoft Intel Alliance.

If you want to maintain the purity of the organization's founding, you can't introduce commercial capital, but you can't do it without capital, and the introduction of capital is controlled by others, which basically deviates from the original intention of the establishment.

After some tossing, Cao Changjiu and his organization really came up with some things, including open-source operating systems, free microprocessor cores, ported application software, and so on. Although it is a patchwork, it can be regarded as having completed the initial goal, and it is a free, fully open source system.

The sorrow of idealism lies in this - without profits, there will be no influx of capital, there will be no market, and there will be big losses.

As a result, the organization disbanded, like a meteor piercing the sky and falling.

Although the attempt failed, Cheap Cao learned a good skill for a long time, and I remember that he participated in the research and development work of the organization wholeheartedly at that time, and almost all of the system structure was included in the initial stage, which is still vividly remembered today.

In the time and space of the dream, what Cao Changjiu developed may not be worth mentioning, but what about now? He didn't dare to imagine it, but he was very eager for it.

Cao Changjiu asked himself, when he dreamed of abundant resources, he almost built building blocks to piece together a system, which is a bit difficult in this era.

Cao tried hard to recall the situation at that time, and estimated that an 8-bit microprocessor design he made at that time could still be taken out now. On the one hand, the microprocessor design is completed independently, and all the details are remembered clearly, on the other hand, this microprocessor is relatively simple, and the current product architecture is much more mature than the current product architecture, which can be realized under the Huaxia integrated circuit manufacturing technology in this era.

But there is a question, in Huaxia in this era, what can be used for the production of this thing, the production of personal computers? Cao Changjiu shook his head, Huaxia does not have the ability to bear this market now, and there is only one word for the end -- death, it seems that we have to find another way.

In any case, even if you can't occupy the market, you have to do it, there are other uses, calculators, CNC boards are still very needed.

Cao Changjiu woke up from his YY, touched his head with one hand, but saw Li Mengyang holding a fruit dan peel to make a beating shape.

"What are you doing?" Cao Changchang was puzzled.

"Ask you, I don't eat anything good for you, I look cheap, and I even saliva comes out!"

"Oh, yes? Maybe I just thought of eating, hehe. Cao Changjiu had no choice but to smirk.

"No, do you want this one, only the last one is left. Li Mengyang handed over the stick in his hand.

Cao Changjiu shook his head: "You can eat it yourself, big man, let me ask you, what are you copying 8080 for now." ”

Li Mengyang tore open the cover and gnawed it with satisfaction, and said vaguely: "What does the country need?" ”

Cao Changjiu was disappointed: "I know how to eat, I don't know anything, I'll ask Director Mei to go." ”

Li Mengyang: "Who said I don't know anything! It seems to be used in the military industry, some radars, command instruments, and testing equipment." It seems that the instruments in the hospital can also be used, this thing is relatively cheap, small in size, stable and reliable in performance, and the first choice for aerospace computers. ”

Cao Changchang said happily: "You mean, as long as you copy it, it will be mass-produced?" This is good news, as long as the country has the need to develop microprocessors, then it is possible to provide better products by itself.

Li Mengyang shook his head: "I don't know, you better ask the director." ”

Cao Chang hated it: "I knew you would say this." ”

"What? you're going to make a microprocessor?" asked Director Mei with a frown.

Wang couldn't leave everything and went back to Beijing first, Cao Changjiu insisted on staying to play, and he didn't leave after admitting beating and scolding. Wang Suo had no choice but to entrust him to the care of Director Mei.

This kid was wandering around in the factory, but fortunately he let Li Mengyang watch him and nothing happened.

Now he actually ran in front of him in a big way, saying that he wanted to redesign and manufacture a chip that was faster and cheaper than the imported 8080 processor.

"You're sure you're not kidding, young man. We haven't eaten this imported 8080 until now, so how can we design a new one?" Wang said, he thought it was a waste of time.

"But this is very important, there are many flaws in the 8080 architecture, and it is really not a good choice. I heard that our country copied 8080 in order to use it in a large number of military industry, aerospace and medical treatment, how can we allow our country's core industry to be monopolized by foreign products?" Cao Chang tried hard to lobby Director Mei and try to make him understand the harm.

Wang Suo laughed: "Who are you listening to, it's not as terrible as you imagined." Our slogan has always been that the No. 1 machine is imported, and the No. 2 machine is domestically produced. When this thing is imitated, we will be able to produce it ourselves, how can we let foreign products monopolize it!"

Cao Changchang never imagined that Director Mei would think that as long as it was imitated, he would not be controlled by others, his mind was a little unable to turn, and he opened his mouth and just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Director Mei.

"It's good for young people to have this kind of ambition and enthusiasm, but they can't be ambitious, 8080 is a mature product, there are a lot of software resources on its platform that can be used, and the structure is simple, we imitate it for a reason, not blindly. Even if you can design better and faster, you still have to spend a lot of money to develop various software, and in general, it is more economical to copy, think about it yourself. Director Mei still persuaded him kindly.

Evil 2Klan Party: It's on the list today, thank you for your support, and continue tomorrow. The description of the first 20 chapters is relatively monotonous, a bit of a running account, and there is a reason for this, in fact, I am afraid of time, otherwise Cao Changjiu will not be able to catch up with some historical events. The plot will never let you guess, so it is proof.
