Chapter 12: The Engineer's Nightmare
This night, Wang Fan slept very comfortably, but those engineers at home and abroad were unlucky.
At the Gao Tube headquarters, all Chinese and engineers who are proficient in Chinese are still fighting at night, and there are even a few linguists who specialize in Chinese.
Although many people have been working for more than 20 hours in a row, and their eyes are bloodshot, the boss still has no plans to release them.
At this moment, even in the United States, a country that advocates freedom and human rights, no one dares to mention the word rest again.
Because there are two special engineers, they have already packed up and left, just because they have said more......
Of course, it's not just the engineers who are tired, but the executives who haven't been able to close their eyes either.
The conference room of the headquarters was full of people, from the president to the leaders of various departments. All closely focused on the almost non-progressive crack, while endless discussions were going on, and from time to time there was a roar of anger.
After all, since the listing of 810, Gao's stock price has fallen all the way, and its market value has shrunk by nearly 30%.
In the face of the life-saving straw of CPU intelligent control software, executives who do not want to leave class early will definitely not give up.
"How's it going?" Albert Kingsley pinched his waist, his hair a little unkempt and tired.
As the CEO of Takaku, he hasn't been so embarrassed for a long time. From the conference room to the lab, for more than 20 hours, he lost count of how many trips he made.
Even more embarrassing is the chief CPU architecture engineer, Hank Mesfield, who is on pins and needles at every moment. From the pride at the beginning, to the heart now.
Every time he faced the CEO's questioning, he could only shake his head helplessly.
"Rubbish!" Albert Kingsley couldn't hold back any longer, turned and slammed the door away.
Cold sweat broke out on Hank Maysfield's forehead, as if he sensed that he was not far from the end of class.
He was very helpless about this software. For software developers, it's even more hateful.
If you can't develop it yourself, you can't even crack it, and you really can't live up to his title of chief engineer.
With a group of people, he used almost all means and fought hard for more than 20 hours, but he could still only analyze the surface setting. Just know that there is a limit software, which should be 72 hours.
The software will forcibly stop after 72 hours from the time of activation. There is an internal timer inside, which stops when the time comes. So as to get rid of the dependence on network time and mobile phone system time. It also blocks the way for users to extend the service life by manually changing the system time.
As for the core architecture, it is impossible to crack it, let alone the crucial source code.
This encryption method may not necessarily be very advanced, but the logic is very strange and completely confusing.
In fact, everyone understands that the probability of cracking this software is more than 1 in 10,000.
But in the face of the ardent hopes of the top management, they really can't speak......
The same thing is happening at home.
Rice Headquarters. Lei Jun and other executives were present, and their partners, Lianxin's executives, were also present.
From a strategic point of view, Rice Technology cannot only rely on the high cylinder, but must develop its own CPU.
However, after all, Rice Technology has only been established for 5 years, and despite its rapid development, its technology accumulation is still weak, not to mention the research and development of CPUs, so it can only settle for the second best thing and cooperate with Lianxin.
At present, most mobile CPU chips use the arm architecture, as long as they are authorized, the public version of the architecture is used for research and development, and the difficulty is reduced a lot.
As for the independent research and development of their own architecture, even if it is a four-star and a high cylinder, they only abandon the public version of the architecture on the basis of ARM and start their own research and development.
And the launch of a new underlying architecture is undoubtedly a dream.
R&D is one thing, optimization is another. To a certain extent, optimization is even more important than R&D.
Just like the tall 810, there is no doubt that it is powerful, but the optimization is not good, the result is greatly reduced, heavy use, and the actual level is not as good as the previous generation 801.
CPU intelligent control software is undoubtedly at the forefront of CPU optimization. Not to mention the huge increase effect, just different brands, young and old are already stunned. What's more, the perfect solution to the 810 heating problem makes its performance close to or even surpasses the four-star 7420.
If you can get inspiration from it, it will be of great help to Xiaomi and Lianxin.
But pie-in-the-sky good things are never the same.
Engineers on both sides also found nothing.
The atmosphere in the conference room was a little dull, Lei Jun frowned, got up, found a quiet place, took out a mobile phone that had not yet been listed, and dialed a number......
Similar scenes were staged at HCT, LG, Soyou, Warwick, LinkTek and other headquarters.
This night, Wang Fan slept very comfortably, but it was a nightmare for many engineers around the world, destined for a sleepless night.
The next morning, there was only one exam, and Qiandu was in hand, and it was easy to get it. However, he didn't run into Song Qian again, so there was less fun to tease, Wang Fan simply passed the half-hour limit and left directly.
Because I got up late in the morning, I didn't have time to eat. So he went to the cafeteria first.
asked for a bowl of knife-cut noodles, added a braised egg, turned around, and suddenly found a familiar figure in the crowd.
Dark blue jeans, light-colored shirt. straight long legs, as well as high hips, a small waist with a hand, and a shawl hair like a waterfall.
It's all intoxicating, such a proud back, isn't Song Qian who it is?
Seeing Song Qian sit down, Wang Fan walked over cheekily, sat directly opposite Song Qian under the strange eyes of the surrounding students, and said familiarly: "Beauty, share a table!"
Song Qian was a little bored, looked up, her face was full of surprise, and she said in a slight panic: "Why are you!"
"Why can't it be me?"
"Aren't you taking an exam?"
It can be seen that Song Qian is in a very bad state, even if she has contact lenses, she can't hide the bloodshot eyes, didn't she sleep well last night?
Wang Fan smiled faintly: "I've handed in the papers, you know I'm fast." ”
Song Qian nodded, falling silent. Wang Fan stopped talking and ate his own noodles.
Probably to keep in shape, Song Qian's breakfast is simple: a fried dough stick, a small cup of soy milk, and a small portion of pickles.
After Song Qian finished eating, she didn't leave in a hurry, but just looked at Wang Fan in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking. Wang Fan naturally didn't care.
For a long time, I watched Wang Fan finish eating and prepare to leave. Song Qian couldn't help but speak: "That...... You know all about it, right?"
Wang Fan nodded, looked at Song Qian's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and sat down again.
"You won't blame me, will you?" Song Qian's voice was very low, and she looked like a little girl at this time.
Wang Fan was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I don't blame you, didn't I also tease you?" Haha, you didn't come today, I was very bored." ”
Song Qian's face was slightly red, and she turned white, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm also forced to do it." That's when I found out that you had failed the subject before, plus the two subjects yesterday, and today's ......"
Wang Fan interrupted her and asked directly, "Old Man Song arranged for you, right?"
Song Qian nodded: "He said that you will cheat, let me keep an eye on you." You know, I'm just a recent graduate trainee teacher, and I'm not even a contract worker now. He's the director of the Academic Affairs Office, and I can't refuse. I was going to stare at you twice, I really didn't know you had a hook up before. ”
The style of the University of Science and Technology is very strict, and if you fail to take three subjects, you will drop out.
Wang Fan knew in his heart that the intimacy between Old Man Yang and Nie Chen naturally could not be put on the surface. For other professors, even if Old Man Yang is the director of the Academic Affairs Office, they still don't give face. And Song Qian, an intern, had to follow.
It's just that to Wang Fan's surprise, Song Qian only stared at two games and left him a way. But she didn't know that her usual grades had been canceled, and she had failed a subject before.
But it doesn't matter, after all, their conspiracy is destined to come to naught.
In the end, Song Qian left Wang Fan's mobile phone number......
