Play hard.

In order to stifle the Nebula system promoted by Xinghai Technology, Brother Gu's company really fought hard!

Rather than face a huge risk of public opinion, even if they are seriously investigated by the information security department of country Z, even if they become the target of public criticism, they still do such a thing as opening the back door.

Because if you don't do it, you're slowly waiting for death...... With the growth rate of the Nebula system, it will threaten the dominance of Android in another half a year.

If it is done, there is still a glimmer of hope, as long as the Nebula system is killed and strangled in the cradle! Let the spokesman come out to apologize, find a few "unintentional" excuses, and at most be fined by the government of country Z...... These are all affordable.

As long as the Nebula system can be killed, as long as most people in country Z are still using Android...... The price paid now will be remedied in the future.

So they did it without hesitation.

……

Hardware R&D department.

A senior hardware engineer found the "back door" of Gu Ge's company.

"They've done a job with the motherboard drivers."

The engineer said: "The Java virtual machine will implant a line of detection code into the motherboard driver, and when you flash the phone, if it is an Android system, the flash can pass; If it is a non-Android system, this line of detection code will start working, so that the motherboard circuit control chip will not work, causing the phone to not turn on. ”

"This kind of backdoor at the driver level is not terrible, and it can be relatively easy to block this backdoor."

"What's really scary are the backdoors that are written in the hardware code, and they can't be blocked unless the faulty hardware is replaced."

As for whether there is such a back door, through the behavior of Brother Gu's company, there is no doubt that there must be, but this kind of "back door" is a killer feature that will kill you in the end, and it will not be opened until the last moment.

There are also several ready-made examples:

In the Gulf War of 91, the multinational coalition carried out a full-scale air attack on Iraq, and Iraq's radar early warning system did not respond, because the country's air defense radar was all purchased from France, and all the chips used in it were from country M.

During the Iranian nuclear crisis in the past few years, the "Stuxnet virus" became famous, paralyzing almost all the country's centrifuge equipment, causing the country's nuclear program to stall for several years...... The reason is that the computers that control the centrifuge all use chips from country M.

In 20X8, Intel broke out in the "circuit breaker" incident, the company's many chips have serious technical defects, which lasted for more than ten years, professionals pointed out that the vulnerabilities caused by Intel chip defects may affect the personal information security of almost all computer and mobile device users, affecting hundreds of millions of devices.

Whether it is safe to use foreign systems and foreign chips is not clear now, the vast majority of people just feel that it is easy to use, and do not care too much about these problems, only when the situation changes drastically and the crisis breaks out, will they find that it is too late and regret it.

"What's the solution to the backdoor threat once and for all?" Chen Jin asked.

"From hardware to software, we use our own products."

The engineer said: "Including its own CPU, its own motherboard, DARM memory, NAND storage, its own battery, and even cameras and screens, it is best to make all of them domestically." ”

"At the software level, including the operating system, underlying drivers, and hardware programs, it is best to use all of them to achieve absolute security and controllability, even if there are inevitably some vulnerabilities, they are also vulnerabilities in our hands, and the meaning is completely different from controlling in the hands of others."

Chen Jin nodded: "In other words, our Nebula Technology system must be localized to all hardware in order to completely get rid of the backdoor threat." ”

"Yes!"

Only when it is carried on a purely domestic mobile phone, the Nebula system is not afraid of any threat.

In other words, can Xinghai Technology do this?

Yes!

Now Chen Jin's left hand is Zhongxin International, his right hand is Ziguang Group, CPU, memory, memory chips can all be produced independently, screens, motherboards, cameras, batteries and other hardware domestic suppliers are numerous, to make a "pure domestic mobile phone", there is not too much pressure.

But the problem is that many mobile phone manufacturers adopt a shelf procurement strategy, in the process of purchasing all kinds of chips and parts, not only look at the price, but also look at the performance, they do not look at whether you are domestic parts, but to see whether your cost performance is high, only the most cost-effective parts, they will place an order...... Mobile phone manufacturers have meager margins, without which they cannot survive.

Therefore, in order to promote the Nebula system, Xinghai Company must require hardware manufacturers who have joined the "Star Soft Alliance" to purchase domestic parts as much as possible, and even give up the "shelf procurement principle" if necessary, and purchase some domestic parts that are not very cost-effective.

But can many hardware manufacturers accept such a request?

Chen Jin shook his head, he felt that even if he promised that the chips of Zhongxin International and Unisplendour Group would be sold cheaper, those hardware manufacturers would be very embarrassed, and there would probably not be too many responders!

He gritted his teeth: "It's really not good, Xinghai Technology can only end up doing it!" The profit of this mobile phone thing is not high, and you have to lose money! But someone has to do it, they don't pick the head, Xinghai Technology will pick the head! ”

But.

Perhaps it is because I feel the great difficulties faced by Xinghai Technology.

May 8th.

On the national side, led by the No. 2 elder, a large number of officials from multiple departments were sent to inspect and investigate Xinghai Technology in detail.

Then I gave Xinghai Technology a shocking gift package!

Including 10 billion yuan of financial support (deducted in the form of tax exemption).

Government procurement orders worth 30 billion yuan were placed.

Colloquium.

The elder solemnly said to Chen Jin: "Xiao Chen, the task of breaking the monopoly of the foreign system will be entrusted to you. ”

"Ten billion support funds may be far from enough, so I hope you don't have too little and don't give up on this cause."

"I guarantee here that as long as your mobile phones are made from hardware to software, the government will be the first to procure! Give all civil servants a Nebula phone! ”

"There are also many scientific research units and military equipment, all equipped with Android system, all eliminated! All orders are yours! ”

"Our attitude is clear, no matter what the cost, we must not allow problematic systems to infiltrate every critical department."

"Xiao Chen, please believe in the country's commitment and the country's ability, as long as you can make the product and do it well, you will never have to worry about not being able to sell it and not being able to do it on a large scale...... The country is your most solid backing. ”

It turned out that after the outbreak of the "backdoor incident" of the Android system, the country has made up its mind this time, at least in various government agencies, to completely eliminate the Android system.

Changed to support domestic nebula system.

Chen Jin was overjoyed, with the help of the state, and the blood transfusion ordered by the government, he still needed to worry about what to do with this and that, just roll up his sleeves and work hard.

He immediately made a promise: he will speed up the progress and strive to make the first product equipped with the Nebula system in three months...... We will never fail to live up to the country's ardent expectations.

……

May 10th.

The news that Xinghai Technology has reached a strategic cooperation with the government is announced.

The broad masses of the people collectively cheered and applauded.

The number of domestic hardware manufacturers applying to join the "Star Soft Alliance" has skyrocketed.

In order to get government procurement orders, mobile phone manufacturers such as Little Pepper Company and Aiai Mobile Phone Company have accepted Xinghai Technology's conditions, agreed to the principle of "domestic parts first", and promised to purchase domestic mobile phone parts as much as possible.

The confidence of the programmers was greatly boosted, and they were optimistic about the Nebula system, and the number of downloads of "Nebula Studio" exceeded 500,000 times that day.

Only the executives of Brother Gu's company had blank expressions and cold hands and feet.

Founder Larry Page muttered, "We ...... Did you do the stupidest thing you did? ”
