Chapter 40 Developing Software
Obviously, his worries were unnecessary, and Jiang Chen's tone was still so "amiable".
At least that's what Du Yongkang's ears heard.
"I like the title boss," Jiang Chen smiled, then flipped out his resume and went straight to the point, "Du Yongkang, 30 years old, male, computer major, former director of the technical department of Walker Technology Company. Right?"
"Yes" Du Yongkang was a little unsure of the meaning of Jiang Chen's words, and replied cautiously.
"That's easy to do. You develop an operating system for me, and it shouldn't be difficult for you to use it on this, right?" Jiang Chen said straight to the point, and then threw a Huawei smartphone in his hand.
"Huh?"
"It's an order, and I hope to hear an affirmative answer. Jiang Chen didn't talk much nonsense, after all, he didn't spend money to buy people back to serve, but to ask people to work for him.
"Yes, yes. Du Yongkang hurriedly nodded desperately, and there was no hint of the panache of the executives of famous enterprises. Those ridiculous self-esteem have long been worn out in the cruelty of the last days. Jiang Chen controlled his life and death, and working for Jiang Chen was his only way out.
Looking at Du Yongkang's cowering appearance, Jiang Chen suddenly grinned, then stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. Ignoring the flattered expression on his face, Jiang Chen continued.
"You don't have to be so formal. Do a good job, and I will naturally not treat you badly. ”
"Understood, boss. Du Yongkang lowered his head knowingly.
Jiang Chen nodded, and then continued to speak, "I'll simply say the request. There are difficulties that you can bring up, but they have to be overcome, understand?"
"Yes. ”
"Very good," Jiang Chen was very satisfied with Du Yongkang's affirmative answer, and continued, "I don't understand the operating system, I only look at the results." I want you to develop an operating system that uses at least twice as much hardware as this software called Android. At the same time, without changing the hardware conditions, it can be compatible with all software on Android and this IOS system to the greatest extent. If you have any questions, hurry up and ask, you won't see me very often, and I'll see the results next month. ”
With that, Jiang Chen threw another Apple mobile phone in his hand. These two mobile phones are bare metal, and they are both things that Jiang Chen just bought not long ago.
After Du Yongkang took the phone, he fiddled with the screen with his fingers for a while, and then showed a wry smile.
"What's the matter, it's hard for you?" Jiang Chen said with an eyebrow.
"No, it's not, it's too simple. Du Yongkang hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head. Seriously, he was really afraid that this boss would suddenly quit him, such an easy job, even before the war, he couldn't touch it!
"Oh? Jiang Chen showed an expression of interest.
Du Yongkang helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose, showed his mobile phone very professionally, and then explained.
"First of all, this old operating system should be the product of more than 150 years ago, whether it is the efficiency of hardware use or this headache of human-computer interaction, there are many criticisms. ”
"Oh, you say that this crazy 5 has poor human-computer interaction?" Jiang Chen laughed.
Du Yongkang secretly figured out Jiang Chen's expression, and found that Jiang Chen did not have any anger or anything like that because he belittled these two operating systems, so he gradually let go of his courage and explained in more depth.
"First of all, in terms of hardware efficiency, although it seems logically rigorous, there are many cumbersomeness. To put it simply, just like a statement that can be summarized by 1+1, due to a series of technical limitations such as compiled language and algorithms, the processor has to do some unnecessary things, first define A=1, B=1, then calculate C=A+B, and finally get C=2, and then output C as the result Of course, this is just an example. In short, this old processing method not only consumes memory, but also greatly delays the operation efficiency of the device. ”
"Oh, then what are you going to do?" Jiang Chenluo asked with interest.
"This is a good solution, but in the final analysis, it is the limitations of the compiled language, although the two operating systems have their own advantages and disadvantages, but neither can get rid of the framework of the inferior compiled language. If you use D++ for compilation, the compatibility can be done with a slight adjustment, and the antique operation efficiency of this mobile phone will be increased by more than 3 times, and the energy consumption will be doubled, and at the same time, because the load on the hardware is reduced, the life of the hardware will also be greatly extended. ”
Jiang Chen gasped.
This Nima is too rebellious! The hardware operation efficiency has been increased by more than three times, and it is perfectly compatible with the programs of the two softwares? Nima is crazy enough for these two functions. Doesn't this mean that even if you hold a ** and silk machine, you can run happily and the game that originally only had the gold belt of the local tyrant. This will simply set off a technological (revolution) in the mobile game industry!
How many mobile game developers rack their brains to cut the memory occupied by the game, optimize it, endure the pain of streamlining (castrating, cutting) powerful features that cannot adapt to the public, and sacrifice gameplay in exchange for adaptable user groups. But if this operating system comes out once it comes out, the performance of all users' mobile phones will be tripled! At that time, all creativity will be completely liberated, no matter how you conceive and design, everyone's mobile phones will be moved, this is not a technical (revolutionary) life?
"What about human-computer interaction? My advice is to try to maintain the status quo, after all, well, after all, I'm used to this kind of simple interface. Jiang Chen paused and said. He wasn't going to give his identity to someone he hadn't known for long. Even if his life and death are in his hands.
"Believe me, boss, my design will definitely be much more advanced than this backward human-computer interaction method. "Yes, human-computer interaction through touchpads is still the mainstream even now, but this backward operating system is fundamentally different from the operating system used in today's civilian entertainment electronic devices." ”
"What's the gap?" Jiang Chen asked with some curiosity.
"Artificial intelligence!"
"Artificial intelligence, did you make it?" Jiang Chen asked with a frown.
"If it's just a rudimentary artificial intelligence, I'll definitely be able to do it in a month, after all, the relevant data is available in the library's database, and I just need to do the transplanting work. Du Yongkang patted his chest and packed the ticket.
"I'm curious why there isn't one on holographic computers when artificial intelligence isn't a difficult thing. Jiang Chen asked suspiciously. Since it's really so easy to use, it makes no sense not to use it on a holographic computer.
"Well, well, because the AI Act restricts the development of artificial intelligence. If everything was left to the machines, everyone would be unemployed. Du Yongkang shrugged his shoulders and said, "The operating system of artificial intelligence was popular for a while, but it was later replaced by a neural access operating system that is not inferior to artificial intelligence in interactivity. Before the catastrophe, the use of AI was limited to welfare facilities operated by government agencies, such as nuclear power plants and water treatment plants. ”
"I see, then what kind of primary artificial intelligence you are talking about, isn't there any risk?" Jiang Chen asked a question that he was more concerned about. If that artificial intelligence system is frantically "multiplying" in the modern network, and then evolving in the direction of malicious programs, he remembered a movie he once watched called "Mechanical Public Enemy", which depicts a landscape of a world dominated by artificial intelligence.
"Boss, you're overthinking. Du Yongkang seemed to guess Jiang Chen's concerns, sighed and said, "In the final analysis, a program is still a program, even if it is intelligent, they can't have emotions and desires." Essentially, he will only do things according to the program you have compiled, and his intelligence is nothing more than a way for you to 'teach' him in advance to react to situations. For example, if you punch him, he won't fight back, and he doesn't have a subjective feeling that his interests are being violated or that he perceives hostility. Unless you 'tell him' that if someone punches you, you should return the punch. Only then will he react with a return shot. Self-compilation, on the other hand, is an ability that only mid-level AI has. As for feelings, they are something that only advanced artificial intelligence can have, and before the war, it was only at the conceptual stage. ”
Artificial intelligence, in the final analysis, is just a relatively clever program.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded reassuringly.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you to do, I just look at the results, you just have to be bold and try. By the way, one more thing you have to pay attention to is that the secrecy of this operating system must be done well! I don't want to put this phone in the hands of another person and he will crack the entire operating system and then make something like that. ”
Confidentiality is the most important job, Jiang Chen doesn't want the software he worked so hard to get in the past to be played by others as open source in a few days. And if that D++ compilation method is exposed, he really can't explain it.
It's best to make the program as tight as an iron box, only exchange data with the outside world, and don't accept any unpacking or the like.
Du Yongkang was stunned for a moment, and then patted his chest with a smile.
"Boss, don't worry! The program I made is definitely not so easy to crack. The games of Walker Technology are all written by me. Not to mention anything else, take the "Star Wars Storm 7" launched not long before the war as an example, so far no international cracking team has been able to crack the game. As for the envelope of the operating system at this level, it is even more fine for me. ”
Think about it too.
If someone in the current world can even crack the handwriting of the former technical director of the Walker Technology Company, who has mastered the black technology more than 150 years later, it can only mean that he is a traverser, and Jiang Chen will kill him no matter what he says. Ahem, of course, it's impossible.
"Yes, if you can make it, it will be a great achievement! Do it well, I guarantee that you will have meat to eat at once!" Jiang Chen smiled and patted Du Yongkang's shoulder and said loudly.
Hearing this, Du Yongkang was naturally overjoyed. There was meat to eat, which was something he couldn't even think of. Du Yongkang, who got the sweetness, naturally immediately patted his chest and packed the ticket, and then there were all kinds of flattery to Jiang Chen. is worthy of being a manager, not only is it first-class in terms of technology, but it is also a slip of the ass. Jiang Chen doesn't hate clever people.
"Last but not least, the 'Future Man Technology' logo, you must make it cool for me. It's a high-tech style at first glance, but don't be too exaggerated, you know. ”
"Yes! boss!"
This guy almost didn't shout out.
Seeing Du Yongkang's confident momentum, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand, signaling that he could leave.
Full of joy, Du Yongkang strode away with two mobile phones, of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to clean up his dishes and chopsticks. He doesn't have to move bricks like a migrant worker and re-engage in his old job, how many years he has not dared to fantasize about such a happy thing.
Today, however, it has been realized.
In addition to being grateful to Jiang Chen, Du Yongkang also showed 12 points of momentum and made up his mind to make a boutique product that would stunned the boss! Although this kind of electronic product is very backward, who wants the boss to do it? Doing what he likes is the only way to "climb up." He didn't care what Jiang Chen wanted to do with this thing, as long as he completed the boss's task, it was enough.
