"This is a UNIX-based operating system?" 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 version of SPARC that was developed at UNIX. This system was designed by Lao Bao, and he can talk about it. ”

Bao Yueqiao is not yet thirty years old this year, and his skin is the darkest of the three. However, unlike Qiu Bojun who is a little fat and Wang Jiangmin who is a little thin, his physique is not like a programmer.

The long hours of mental work made his hairline look a little back, his forehead was large and round, and he wore a pair of thick-rimmed glasses on his small eyes, and to be honest, he was definitely not handsome in appearance.

But when he stood in front of the computer, it was as if he was a different person. His large forehead accentuated his wisdom, and his small eyes shone brightly. Bao Yueqiao helped the thick-framed glasses on his nose, and his serious momentum actually made Lu Ge a little nervous.

"The name of this operating system is six-eared UNIX, and because the T1 chip is to be prepared for export, the six-ear logo, which is well-known in the United States, was chosen. Of course, with the exception of Microsoft's Windows, all other operating systems in the world today can be related to UNIX. But I still have to correct Colonel Lu for a mistake, the six-eared UNIX is not a UNIX-based system, but a UNIX-like system. This borrows some Linux ideas, and there are also some ideas put forward by Mr. Zhou......"

What does Zhou Shuo want to do? In fact, it is very simple, although the six-ear UNIX is a dedicated and strong operating system for the time being, it will not affect its eventual gradual evolution into an "Android"-like system.

There are several benefits of Android. One is open source, and the other is good compatibility. The third is the openness of the platform. In the six-eared UNIX, Zhou Shuo advocated for the removal of the part related to the General Public License. That is, some of the content licensed by GUNGPL.

GUNGPL is a software distribution standard that requires that when a binary executable program is released, the source code must also be published. The software can be freely flowed, rewritten, and copied without any restrictive terms.

Obviously, such software cannot be sold for money. In other words, if there is such software content in the six-eared UNIX, it cannot be commercialized. If it can't be commercialized, it won't be able to attract many software vendors to join the platform. Therefore, even though this led to difficulties in software development, Zhou Shuo still insisted on removing this part of UNIX content.

The Linux system contributes advanced ideas such as network, multi-user, multi-core, multi-task, and multi-threading to the six-ear UNIX. Zhou Shuo specially transferred back a group of elite soldiers from the United States of America for the Six Ears Software Company, and painstakingly brought back the most advanced operating system ideas in the United States.

The operating system and the browser originally meant that there were some different paths to the same end, otherwise Netscape would not have wanted to make an operating system at the beginning. Google later released the browser-based Ubuntu operating system, and Microsoft will not go to great lengths to dominate the browser market.

After spending more than a year in the United States, the programmers of the original six-ear browser development project have greatly improved their vision and ability. Under the leadership of Bao Yueqiao, it only took two or three months to come up with the current roughly formed operating system.

Even though the initial version of the six-ear UNIX system will not be too good, Zhou Shuo believes that as long as these features are available, the final six-ear UNIX may not be able to replace the achievements of Android in history.

At the same time, even such a simple operating system made Lu Ge startled under Bao Yueqiao's explanation.

It's not that no one in the country does an operating system. For example, Bao Yueqiao's previous UCDOS project, there are many similar DOS localization projects. But this is not the same as writing an operating system from scratch, it just adds a layer of shell to the Microsoft DOS system.

An operating system project like this is even when the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense take the lead in doing some supercomputing. I wouldn't want to start all over again. In the early days, domestic supercomputers used IBM's AIX system, and later most of them used Linux systems. At most, it's a few small changes to these systems. A major surgery like six-eared UNIX is impossible to do.

The reason is simple. There is no economic benefit. It is not cost-effective to develop a separate operating system for a few supercomputers and the like. It is necessary to engage in promotion. I don't have a hardware system in my own hands.,The result is still definitely not able to beat other people's x86 system.。

Therefore, Lu Ge was so surprised when he learned about the investment of Panhan Group in Liuer UNIX. Because as long as the six-eared UNIX is not made to be played, it must mean that the Panhan Group has an extremely large plan - so that it can provide enough nutrients for the growth of an operating system.

These nutrients include a new computer system independent of the x86 system, a new market application area, including a software and hardware alliance, and of course hundreds of billions of dollars in investment.

"Mr. Zhou, can I take this prototype with me?" Lu Ge confirmed again and again that this was indeed a computer with a new architecture, and asked cautiously.

"Absolutely."

Zhou Shuo didn't think too much, even if he wanted to cooperate with the troops, he had to provide a sample first, right? What's more, this laptop is not even a concept machine, the process of the T1 chip can't go up, the frequency can't go up, the main frequency is only about 30MHz, and it's extremely unstable. The design of the motherboard is fine, but the north-south bridge chip is just to deal with things. Not to mention that the operating system runs slowly, as soon as the amount of computing goes up or some complicated programs are executed, it will crash every three to five minutes......

Even if Lu Ge didn't say it, this semi-finished product should have been eliminated a long time ago. According to the news from the imperial capital, the engineering machine with nearly 80% completion of the hardware has been completed, and it will be sent to Xiucheng in a few days.

"Okay, then please lend me a phone."

Under the guidance of Bao Yueqiao, Lu Ge put the disassembled notebook back up. Then he grabbed the mobile phone handed over by Zhou Shuo, thought about it and dialed a phone number.

"Director, I'm Lu Ge."

"That's right, I'm now in Xiucheng Fanhan Group, and I've been in touch with 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 didn't hang up until Zhou Shuo's mobile phone had begun to burn and the battery prompt was ringing frequently.

Lu Ge returned the phone to Zhou Shuo, lowered his head and pondered. In the short time that you will be in this conference room, every detail you see will be recalled.

At the same time, he also thought of the information about the Pan Han Group that he remembered in his mind. At present, 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.

And Zhou Shuo himself may be the richest person in China at present, perhaps the most likely Nobel Prize winner in China, or the most willing university president in China......

Thinking of this, Lu Ge involuntarily took a deep breath and said slowly and muttered.

"Mr. Zhou, it is still too early to say how much SPARC architecture computers will play in C3I and even the modernization of the PLA. However, even if the General Staff Department, the General Logistics Department, and the Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense do not use your technology after study and discussion, I would like to say that you are really the hope for the future of China's computers. ”

"Colonel Lu has won the award, we ......"

"No, please listen to me." Lu Ge stopped Zhou Shuo's modesty, and continued: "I, the colonel, am actually nothing in the imperial capital. In the army and in the organs, there are many leaders and comrades who are better and more important than me. As a PLA soldier, I would like to implore you not to give up your efforts on the SPARC architecture. Even if your equipment and technology are not used in the army this time, I believe that one day you will be able to grow to the same height as your foreign counterparts, and by that time our national defense will not be so poor. ”

"I hope and hope that one day we Chinese soldiers will be able to use high-performance computers produced by our Chinese themselves!"

"I hope that our Chinese missiles will no longer be inferior to others because of their electronic technology, and they can only hit the wrong target when they penetrate the past."

"I hope that our planes, tanks, and warships can use our own chips, and we no longer have to worry about war, and the enemy will paralyze our weapons with a single command."

"To be honest, I don't have much authority to ask you to do anything. Nor are I saying these words a command, or a hint. It's just a personal request of mine, a dream......"

"Colonel Lu, don't say it!" Zhou Shuo restrained the smile on his face, stretched out his hand sternly, shook his hand hard, and said heavily: "I also firmly believe that our country can become rich and strong, and when China's economy is strong, our national defense funds will naturally be abundant." Our science and technology will gradually enter the world stage! I want you to assure you that the Pan Han Group will continue on this road until one day our army has the conditions to use good equipment. And our Pan Han Group will definitely live up to its mission and provide the PLA with computers produced by our Chinese! ”

Zhou Shuo said confidently: "When the time comes, we will definitely provide the best computer in the world!" (To be continued......)
