If it was a year ago, when it came to 2008, perhaps the mood of the vast majority of Chinese people would really be the same as the theme song of the 100-day countdown to the Olympics: "The door of my house is often open to accommodate the world, and the years bloom with a youthful smile to welcome this date.

But after such a year, the reality is that everyone is given a pancake fruit without eggs.

Although it cannot be said that they are all cups and tableware, they are definitely not as brilliant as they imagined when they looked forward to 2008 when they successfully bid for the Olympic Games a year ago or even six years ago.

The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, which was previously ridiculed by various media on behalf of "Completion Network", really triggered a global financial turmoil, and spread to the country and affected the lives of too many people.

Even though the 4 trillion bailout has been made and a large amount of money will be smashed immediately, the impact of the economic crisis on ordinary people has not dissipated.

In the cafeteria booth, Liu Haiyang put down the spoon, "Why did the food in the cafeteria become so unpalatable?"

"The price of pork has risen and the operating cost of the canteen has risen, we have to understand. Even if you don't understand, you have to deepen your understanding in cooperation," said Atletico, who was sitting across from him, took out a tissue bag and drew one, then threw it to him.

After Shi Shiran finished wiping his mouth, while cleaning up the plates, spoons and chopsticks on the table in front of him, Atletico said: "It's said that the economic crisis, Zhu Bajie's value has skyrocketed, prices have risen, and labor has increased, and the canteen can hold on without raising prices and asking you for rice money is already very interesting." Isn't it just less meat, less oil, and less seasoning, who told you to be lazy and walk a few steps to my house? Ben came to my house to take a nap after eating, and I don't know how much more comfortable it is than sleeping in the laboratory?"

Although Atletico Madrid did not apply for accommodation this semester, he still chose to stay at home when he had no classes or lectures during the day, and the 526 dormitory of Zengjiacun Student Apartment completely became a place for him to sleep at night.

Last semester, he and Liu Haiyang and Li Jiaming basically left the dormitory before sunrise, some went to class, some went to self-study, and of course, some went to accompany their sisters, usually until 90 o'clock in the evening before the lights went out to come back to the dormitory to sleep. This kind of behavior made the three of them jokingly called by Liu Shumeng the trio who had never seen the sun in Zengjia Village. But laughing and laughing, Liu Shumeng, who almost failed last semester because he was addicted to games, also joined the team of going out early and returning late this semester, and became a 526 foursome who didn't see the sun in Zengjia Village.

After the major stream this academic year, among the five 4 people, Li Jiaming and Liu Shumeng chose the direction of CE computer science that is biased towards scientific research, and it seems that they are very obsessed with campus life and plan to take the postgraduate examination for three years. However, Ma Jing and Liu Haiyang chose the direction of CT computer technology, because the professional schedule is different, and the number of times the four brothers attend classes together is significantly less, and they have to go their separate ways every morning when they come out of the dormitory and walk near the teaching building.

This morning, Atletico took two classes with Liu Haiyang, and it was customary for Atletico to go back to his house for dinner with Liu Haiyang at noon and then go to the laboratory in the afternoon. However, on the way, he received a call from Tang Jiayi, saying that today is the second sister's birthday, and the four sisters in their dormitory went out to dinner to celebrate the second sister's birthday, and they would not go home to eat.

But looking at the current situation, it is obvious that the boss regrets it.

In fact, the quality of the meals in the canteen has shrunk for a while, but because Liu Haiyang has been busy with Atletico recently, the meals are all at Atletico Madrid's house, or simply sent to the laboratory by Tang Jiayi regularly, he only eats breakfast in the canteen every day, and he has not felt the change in the taste of breakfast bun porridge milk, so he only noticed the change in the lunch menu after more than two months of school.

Suddenly, Atletico laughed, "Boss, I suddenly found that you are a bit like Xie Er, and you have the potential to become a Frankenstein!"

"I'm not a student of string theory, I used to look for some high-dimensional space materials when I watched "The Three-Body Problem", and I looked at these theoretical physics and mathematical things. While cleaning up his tableware, Liu Haiyang said without raising his head.

When queuing up to hand over the dinner plate, Atletico turned his head and said to Liu Haiyang behind him: "I remember that there was an episode of the Big Bang Theory, was it 16 episodes or which episode, Xie Er's sofa seat cushion was soiled by Penny's paintball, Penny tried her best to restore it to its original state, Xie Er's P always felt that it didn't feel right." At this time, where do you come to say that you are a slut is hypocritical, in fact, the Sichuan food takeaway you often eat is not your favorite restaurant, that store has long since closed down, and what you eat is all we bought from other stores, and I haven't seen any adverse reactions to your eating. Don't you think your current situation is a bit the same as Xie Er's, everyone found out last year that you can't see much meat in the cafeteria for stir-frying, and you only now realize that the nerves are really long, haha!"

Liu Haiyang didn't react yet, nodded subconsciously, and it took a long time to react: "This is different! Xie Er, that is the brain CPU is used to think and find strings, and I don't care about paying attention to daily trivial things, but I am blinded by you." I just thought about it, it looks like I haven't had lunch in the cafeteria in months, how can I know that the cafeteria has changed the menu?"

After eating, the two of them didn't care about resting and had no place to rest, so they walked straight towards the laboratory, where they had an experimental project to keep an eye on in the afternoon.

Last semester, Liu Haiyang applied for a honey-brewing program to study a mini computer system based on an ARM embedded processor chip, a matchbox-sized mini computer that is used to transform the information technology of traditional home appliances, or to put it fashionably an Internet of Things client.

This project is also his scientific research training project with Atletico Madrid, Atletico said that he would follow the soy sauce rubbing project to save class hours and credits, but Liu Haiyang knows that Atletico Madrid's BT has made those contributions to this project, which is far from being able to be filled in a soy sauce bottle.

In fact, their project is not limited in terms of hardware and technology, ARM processors are everywhere, as a sponsor of Bee Electronics provides a large number of various models of mobile phone components to toss him, which includes both bees themselves used in their own power cat and light cat products, and more are waste mobile phone disassembly components recycled from all over the country through the sure store channel.

And now the wifi has also been lifted, if it is too troublesome to install an additional VLC module or power communication module, now you can easily purchase and apply the wifi module at will. For those of them professionals, assembling a mini computer with the components of a mobile phone is not much more difficult than assembling a compatible PC.

Of course, the same is to assemble a computer, and the difficulty of assembling a home computer is not the same as assembling an industrial control computer, although the latter has a bad configuration and an old system, but the price is usually much more expensive than an ordinary home computer. This is because the industrial control computer must have hardware and control software connected to CNC CNC machine tools or other CNC equipment, and on the other hand, the system must also be resistant to high temperature, vibration and noise, and be able to operate stably and reliably in a relatively harsh factory production environment.

The work of hardware matching experiments was mainly done by Liu Haiyang, who derided himself as a coolie, while Atletico's job was to provide reliable drivers for the components he had selected, and eventually the operating system that would run on the minicomputer. Luckily, the Bee OS family has both the ability to run at clock 1. The X86 version of the latest 6GHz Atom 330 processor also runs on the 100MHz early ARM processor, so Liu Haiyang can choose the hardware according to his needs at will, and there is no need to worry about adaptation at all.

The goal of this project, which is nicknamed "Super Matchbox" by Atletico Madrid, is to make a smart client that can be plugged on top of home appliances such as TVs, air conditioners, washing machines, lamp holders, projectors, etc., and turn them into smart home appliances, so that mobile phones, PCs and other devices can remotely control these home appliances through WiFi wireless or VLC optical communication.

In fact, regarding smart home appliances, there have already been several standard organizations and corresponding technical solutions at home and abroad, but without exception, these standard organizations are opposed to each other, except for patent litigation. When netizens complain that the 300 million domestic netizens are divided into penguin users, online pig users, happy network users and other residents of "digital islands", the household appliances in their homes are actually isolated reefs.

Different brands of home appliances are not willing to make a universal remote control with the same principle and the same module, how can it be possible to make a big gap in the new generation of smart home appliances to make a better future for all home appliances to be interconnected?

Most home appliance manufacturers just keep their new products compatible with each other, and at most add products from partners and allies.

In a sense, this "language barrier" between electronic products can effectively prevent the bad future of "artificial intelligence rebelling against humanity, enslaving and detaining and even slaughtering humanity" envisioned by science fiction writers.

The Bible. The Old Testament tells the myth and legend of the Tower of Babel, and after the Great Flood, the survivors who came down from Noah's Ark multiplied, and their common ancestors made them belong to the same people and speak a common language. They burned bricks and built the city of Babylon and the Tower of Babylon, the tower of Heaven. However, the existence of the Tower of Babel angered God, who believed that human beings built the city and the tower because he doubted his vow not to cause a great flood to destroy the world, and some said that God was afraid that the tower would eventually connect to heaven and damage the majesty. In short, he quietly left the kingdom of heaven and came to earth, changed the language of mankind, and scattered them everywhere because of the language barrier, and the Tower of Babel project was abandoned halfway.

The image of the tower halting in the middle of the building has a symbolic meaning in religious art, indicating that human arrogance will eventually lead to chaos. In reality, the existence of digital islands shows that it is not God who destroyed the Tower of Babel at all, but people's own selfish distractions that make concerted efforts unsustainable, so the Tower of Babel will never be built.

The digital silos caused by human selfishness are indiscriminatory, not only confining users in isolated websites, but also confining their own products under brand banners. This situation can only be improved slowly, and it is basically impossible to solve it once and for all. In this way, "objectively" caused a language barrier between machines, and I believe that in the future, even if there is a robot explosion, it may be similar to the "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and other novels described in the eighteen anti-kings, sixty-four smoke and dust, and seventy-two thieves in the late Sui Dynasty.

"Therefore, for the future of mankind, we can't just buy one brand of products, just like Apple's iPhone sells too well and beats Symbian or something, so Google has to cooperate with a large number of mobile phone manufacturers and operators to make another mobile phone system, even if they take out their Android and open source it for everyone to toss around. ”

"How did you get to this?" Liu Haiyang didn't stop and turned his head to look at Atletico Madrid.

"At present, iphoneos and Android are just mobile phone operating systems, and they may develop into operating systems for intelligent robots in the future. Now it will develop into a two-power confrontation or even a three-kingdom hegemony, and even if there is a robot resistance army in the future, it will be several robot legions hostile to each other. In fact, the way to defeat the Terminator in the movie "Terminator" should be to start or support its competitors during the creation period of Skynet, and develop another system, so that it will be a big battle between the two Skynets instead of Skynets attacking humans. There are also "Mechanical Public Enemy" If the housekeeping robot is not only one of the NS series of USR company, but there are also several FG, AS, KD or something, there will definitely be no mechanical public enemy murdering humans or even housekeeping robots on the streets, and it is more likely that the robots of several companies are fighting each other. ”

Walking on the road, hearing Atletico Madrid's statement that his brain hole is a little big, Liu Haiyang could only smile, "Boss Ma, your brain hole is really extraordinarily big! I watched that movie on the Internet, and I don't think that such an intelligent robot can be realized in 30 years." There's no way that the CPU and battery can't keep up!Also, you only said Apple dough and Android cake dough, so what kind of clump is running Windows and your bee OS?

"Ahem!" Atletico made Liu Haiyang's verbal counterattack choked, and hurriedly coughed a few times to relieve the embarrassment, "I really haven't thought about this problem, go back and think about it." ”

"Think about it, in fact, I think that if there is really going to be an intelligent robot running several major operating systems to divide the camp and mess around, maybe your bee's combat effectiveness may be the strongest, after all, your bee OS is the best at collaboration. ”

"The collaboration is the PC version of the bee software, the mobile version does not have this function, and now the mobile phone does not have extra computing power to take out and share. But when the 3G construction is completed or the wifi is popularized, you can add this function to the bee OS, well, I'll give it a try later, borrow computing power from the PC network through wifi or optical communication, and share the computing to the PC, the mobile phone's own power consumption reduction and heat reduction seem to be very interesting!"

At a time when performance is reaching its ceiling, the new generation of CPUs and computer products has to turn to energy-saving indicators and actively promote this as a selling point.

For desktops, the energy consumption of three or four hundred watts is just to change to an expensive power supply, and then the electricity bill is more, but for the now hot netbook, smart phone and other products, the impact of processor power consumption is very great. The battery capacity is constant, the greater the power consumption of the processor, the shorter the continuous use time of the product, and the hotter the device, all of which have a great negative impact on the user experience.

Of course, the real power consumption is actually the screen, although there are already more power-saving products such as OLED self-luminous screens, but because of the cost problem, it has not yet beaten the possibility of backlit TFT screens in a short period of time. On the contrary, the power consumption of the processor can be continuously reduced with the improvement of the manufacturing process, after all, the smaller the semiconductor transistor, the smaller the resistance, the more power saving. Due to various reasons, the domestic CPU process has been several generations behind foreign countries, which makes Loongson, which is not advanced enough in the original architecture, unable to catch up with foreign counterparts no matter how hard it tries, and also restricts the intention of domestic computer and mobile phone manufacturers to develop upstream and produce their own processors.

There are basically no self-produced components on the Sunflower mobile phone except for the optical pass module and shell, and most of the core components are imported at a high cost, and it is difficult to get the latest and greatest accessories, which makes this flagship mobile phone carefully built by Bee can only pile up the technical content through the corners and corners. If you can improve the performance and user experience by connecting to the bee colony network, it is a good solution to save the country.

Liu Haiyang They made this super matchbox but did not have battery troubles, it is plugged on other household appliances, from the latter to get DC power, itself does not need power supply, of course, you can also design a lithium-ion battery to act as a power supply to keep standby for remote wake-up in special circumstances such as power failure.

The first super matchbox they made last semester was a smart light bulb, and the effect basically met expectations. The lampholder with a super matchbox can be remotely switched on and off remotely, adjust the brightness, and can write a script to set the brightness under specific ambient lighting conditions to keep the indoor light stable and make the living environment more comfortable, and even by setting the timing of the lights to turn on and off, you can also achieve a more gentle "light alarm clock", which automatically lights up the gradually brighter indoor light to simulate the scene of the sun rising and the sky is bright, and gently wakes up the user by waking up the human biological clock, just like "the sun wakes up the lazy" It can also effectively reduce the gas of waking up and improve the quality of life.

However, the transformation of achievements is somewhat unsatisfactory, the smart lampholder products have been on the shelves of the bee mall for more than three months, although it looks good and fundamental, but the sales volume is very average. Later, after analysis, it was found that the vast majority of users do not need to buy lampholders at all, unless they happen to decorate at home.

Realizing the reason, it was easy to do, they immediately withdrew from the improvement of the product light alarm clock, and soon achieved more than 10,000 sales, if it was not for the copycat to appear soon, 100,000 or even more sales are possible.

Although the light alarm clock eventually became a hammer sale, and the sales volume was shrinking day by day, after all, he made money, and Liu Haiyang was already very satisfied with being able to earn his tuition fees before graduation. Atletico, on the other hand, is more content with the sense of accomplishment of inventing something new and leaving a new product variety in the world.
