Silicon Valley, Google's parent company, alphabet.

Butterflies flapping their wings as far away as East Asia triggered a global tsunami.

Tens of thousands of engineers at Google have not closed their eyes for two days, trying to crack the phone assistant and figure out what kind of kernel the software is carrying.

It's a pity that they, like all cracking teams around the world, are helpless in the face of mobile phone assistants encapsulated with extraterrestrial civilization technology.

"The final conclusion of our engineering team and the elite labs is that this software, using a package that none of us have ever seen, is completely impossible to crack." Technical Director Gignac was a little desperate and reported the results to the two bosses.

Syllable~

Sergei. Brin spun the ballpoint pen in his hand, a habit he used to think, while another Google founder, Larry Brown. Paige shrugged his shoulders in disappointment.

"Let's see, the Android system was obviously created by us, but it was made into by the Chinese people." Larry. Page said, "Now, even we, who created Android, have lost control of it, and I doubt that Android will become a weapon for those Huaxia mobile phone companies in the future." ”

Sergei. In fact, Google has been preparing to take back control of Android, first using a free strategy to expand the market, and then relying on monopoly advantages to make huge profits, which has always been a common method used by Internet companies.

Back in 2016, Google launched the Pixel series of phones in an attempt to learn from Apple and take full control of the software and hardware.

It's a pity that the company they chose to cooperate with at that time was HTC in Taiwan Province, and HTC was dying under the encirclement of Samsung and the Big Four, and had no ability to help Google realize their ambitions.

Later, Google bought HTC's important design department, and at the same time partnered with manufacturers such as LG to secretly prepare for a reshuffle in the mobile phone industry.

Suddenly~

Sergei. Brin finished thinking and stopped with the ballpoint pen in his hand.

The other two looked at him at the same time, and those who knew Google knew that this child born in the former Soviet Union, an immigrant family, had the coldness and steadfastness characteristic of a fighting people, and he never hid his dislike for the former Soviet system.

"No one can take what belongs to us." Sergei. Brin spoke in a tone like a cold current from Siberia, "In the mobile phone industry, we are the biggest players, and other players only have two choices, disobey, that is, out." ”

Larry. Both Page and Gignac's eyes lit up, "You mean, continue to move forward with the Ice Glacier Project?" ”

The Ice River Project is a project that Google has been secretly promoting in recent years, with only one goal: to take back control of Android, end the era when any manufacturer can customize the system on the basis of Android, and establish Google's mobile phone hegemony.

Sergei Brin shrugged, "We are a very large enterprise, in the past, we only used one percent of our strength to advance the Ice River Project, and in the future, we can adjust the intensity to ten percent, and we can end this war in twelve months." ”

......

Li Moran drove his Mercedes-Benz C200 car, Luo Jia sat in the co-pilot seat in a daze, and the two of them rushed to Wuxi City, where the robot factory was located, according to the address provided by Taobao.

Wuxi is not far from Shanghai, with Gusu in the middle, and it is just in time for traffic jams when leaving the city.

When you get out of the city and enter the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, the road becomes much smoother, with an average speed of about 100 kilometers all the way, and finally when you arrive at Wuxi, it is already close to six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky is about to be dark.

"Let's find a place to stay." Luo Jia said to Li Moran.

They opened a suite at a holiday inn, then drove to a restaurant with a high Dianping score and asked for local fish and crabs.

After drinking two bowls of fish soup, Luo Jia felt that the wine was almost sober, and he only cared about drinking at noon, but he didn't eat anything, and he was hungry at the moment, so he asked the boss to add some xiaolongbao.

The grade of this restaurant is quite high, the per capita consumption is almost 200 yuan, there are three middle-aged men sitting at the next table, dressed well, they seem to be business owners, the Yangtze River Delta region has a developed private economy, and there are really a lot of small bosses who open factories.

Luo Jia listened to the three of them sigh, complaining that the market was not good, how much Yunyun had lost this month, I used to drink Wuliangye for dinner, but now I can only drink Yanghe Daqu, it used to be difficult to find workers, but now workers can't find jobs, and companies are desperately laying off people.

Ay~

Li Moran sighed, "It's all a trade war, and I don't know how long the trade war with the United States will take to end, so it will have too much impact on the real economy." ”

Luo Jia silently sandwiched a crab to the plate, skillfully lifted the lid, and ate the crab roe inside.

"Do you care about the people of Africa?" Luo Jia asked.

Suddenly asking this kind of question?

Li Moran was a little confused, he thought about it, "I don't know much, and I don't care too much, after all, the distance is so far, and there is no intersection." ”

Luo Jia nodded, "In the eyes of Europe and the United States, we are the same as Africa in our eyes, different people, different cultures, and different languages. ”

"Times have changed, according to last year's customs statistics, 58.3 percent of China's export products are mechanical and electrical products, in the past, we made some socks and shirts or something no one cared, but now, the exports are mobile phones, computers, automobiles, construction machinery, ships."

"Those things are bought and sold in Europe and the United States, and people don't care about you, you still rob other people's jobs, as the old saying goes, robbing people of money is like killing their parents."

"The trade war is just a symptom of friction, in fact, it is an all-out war from culture to industry, the last time there was a pattern of two great powers competing for hegemony on the earth, it was the United States and the Soviet Union, and the result was that the Soviet Union completely collapsed and disintegrated in 91."

Li Moran was shocked, if he didn't know Luo Jia, he would never believe that the young man in front of him who was gnawing crabs was not yet nineteen years old.

After eating, Luo Jia asked Li Moran to drive and go to the factory overnight.

The factory is not in an industrial park, but is isolated between two small towns, surrounded by large rice fields, which looks quite desolate, and there are no people in the factory, only a few street lamps are lit, and there is an uncle in charge of guarding the door.

Luo Jia took out two boxes of soft China from his backpack and threw them to the janitor, who saw that it was a good cigarette, quietly put it in his pocket, and chatted with Luo Jia enthusiastically.

It turned out that this is a rich second-generation factory in the town next door, their family started by opening a shipyard, and the rich second-generation wanted to start a business after graduating from college, so they took a sum of money from their families and built this robot assembly plant, ready to take advantage of the boom in the robot industry to make a lot of money.

Who would have thought that the high-tech industry of robots is too far from shipbuilding, and it has been losing money since its opening.

The rich second generation has little patience, so he gradually stopped caring about the things in the factory, went to invest in the live broadcast industry, set up an acting company, raised a large number of Internet celebrities, and scratched his head in the small room every day.

The janitor was bored alone, and he took Luo Jia's good cigarettes, so he naturally knew everything, and he almost turned the rich second-generation family upside down, and even told Luo Jia where his father's junior lived.

The situation was almost understood, Luo Jia said goodbye to the uncle, and asked Li Moran to drive back to the hotel.

He leaned on the window and observed all the way, and found that the location of this factory was really good, not on the main road, the location was remote, even if the robots were produced here, it should not be discovered by anyone.
