Chapter XXXV. Conflict and Progress
In October, SAL has recruited more than 50 R&D personnel, plus the first batch of ten "temporary workers" interns, as well as more than 10 administrative, sales and other personnel, the company is now more than 80 people, a lot of people, things will inevitably be a little messy, fortunately, the newly recruited office director is an experienced veteran, presiding over the establishment of the company's rules and regulations, otherwise let Cai Siqiang and a few of their young people fool around, It's no wonder that this company is not messy, there are few people who can rely on feelings, and when there are many people, they can only rely on the system.
Duke and Zhao Jianwu, also according to the company's current stage of research and development tasks, formally established four projects: one is responsible for the development and maintenance of the PC version of Sala input method, because this product is relatively mature, only for 7 people, by the newly recruited senior engineer Liu Chengjun; One is responsible for the development of the Android version of the Sala input method, this project has 15 people, and Li Lifei, a senior Andriod programmer newly poached by headhunters, serves as the project manager; One is responsible for the in-depth customization of the same Gemdale mobile phone, and more than 20 people are temporarily released, and Zhao Jianwu is also the project manager; One is responsible for the joint development of the new game "Kerry's War", for the time being, Duke himself serves as the project manager, with a dozen or so regular employees and the ten interns, who are learning to explore game development, Qin Chu has won the contract, and Shengda has sent 3 senior engineers to work with Duke to develop a prototype of the game based on voice control. As for IOS, Symbian and Microsoft's WP/WM version of the voice input method as long as the research and development is suspended, there is no way, now the manpower is too scarce, and the east wind of the contract with Gemdale has been swept down, and the veterans who are suitable for this thing and willing to come have almost all been recruited in. The follow-up talents can only be digging, hunting and training, and they are slowly expanding.
Duke adapted all the core of Sala input method into SDK,Provide a complete link library and development environment under windows and Andriod,Attached detailed programming instructions and call examples,Due to the detailed information,Li Lifei and Zhao Jianwu's two project team members are learning faster,After all, this selection is some familiar hands,With these learning materials,Everyone quickly got started。
Time flies, and another week has passed, and Duke is thinking about the framework of the game "Kerry's War" when suddenly there is a noise in the office. Duke, who was sitting in a small room with a separate partition, frowned, looked up a little confused, and found that the noise outside was getting louder. An indignant voice came through the glass.
"What, why are you always targeting me? Li Lifei, what do you mean by this, don't you like me? ”
"Xiong Jian, you just don't say a few words, it's all a group, can you be so excited, if there is anything, everyone can just talk about it" Someone next to him persuaded.
"Mao Siyuan, you are proud of the spring breeze now, stammering Li Lifei all day long, the relationship between the two of you is so good, and the work you do is also the core part, of course it doesn't matter, everyone is new, why does he Li Lifei have to divide people into three, six, nine and so on, and assign me some chores to do, it's not that I can't do the core function module." The man named Xiong Jian saw that someone answered, and his voice became even more vigorous.
"Nonsense, what are you doing? Yelling and yelling is like a shrew scolding the street, what is there to communicate privately, even if you have a problem communicating privately, can you come to me to coordinate, Xiong Jian, Li Lifei, the two of you come to my office, others can do things with peace of mind, and don't look at how tense the project is now. As soon as he heard Zhao Jianwu's voice, Duke felt at ease and didn't go out.
Speaking of which Zhao Jianwu is also a talent, don't look at him as a fledgling business director, with the opportunity of university and graduate students to serve as class and department student union cadres, but also exercise a little leadership ability, within a few days of hard work, the R & D Department of these more than 50 people more or less to this tall and strong man have a little respect.
In Duke's mind, as soon as Zhao Jianwu came out, this skirmish was not easy to handle. He settled down, in Kerry's war, the whole world is divided into more than a dozen different countries, each country has its own unique customs and characteristics, in the story of the protagonist first wandered the world, repeated adventures to grow into a famous knight, in a certain country when the king of life and death, Kerry led his brothers to rescue the king, thus entering the court to start the process of iron and blood. The plot of the story is actually quite old-fashioned, but it is rare that Kerry writes the language beautifully, many dialogues are also popular, and the different countries in the book are described vividly, many things are unheard of, both eye-catching and immersive, Duke excerpted Billem's "movie" for more than ten minutes, and secretly asked Master Song to design the characters, supplies and scenes in the exclusive reference, just a few first drafts of the scenes, which made Qin Chu breathtaking, joked to Duke that after the cooperation is completed, Master Song must be poached. The character image and scene have been recognized by Qin Chu, an expert, and Duke is not surprised, no one really has such a wonderful real "movie" scene on another planet like him, which is enough to portray various scenes with exquisite details and strange items. It's just that Duke can't get an idea on the architecture.,Generally, large-scale online games are divided into different zone servers.,Cross-zone transfer servers have some restrictions of one kind or another.,Warcraft even relies on this fee to make money.,Duke doesn't do it like this.,He initially thought about designing different countries into different zones.,Just like a real world.,But there's an important problem about how to design this load balancing.,After all, the number of players that can be loaded on the servers in each zone is limited.,Games like Warcraft are tens of millions of online-level games, If you don't restrict server transfers, hotspot servers can crash at any time by a flood of players.
Duke is thinking about it, his brain is communicating with Kerry at high speed, using the game engine provided by Qin Chu, Kerry has developed a complete simulation program, of course, there are no precise textures now, the whole game seems a little rudimentary, but it can already run. However, no matter how Kerry optimizes, it can't exceed the online simulation test of millions of players in a single district, and if Qin Chu knows about this result, he may jump in surprise, but Duke is not satisfied, because in this way, Duke's idea of free cross-district cannot be realized. Maybe this million-player online simulation at the same time is the limit of Kerry's ability, Duke thought.
was a little entangled, there was a noise next door again, could it be that Zhao Jianwu couldn't hold it down, Duke couldn't help but get up, opened the door and prepared to take a look, just in time to see the programmer named Xiong Jian excitedly said "Lao Tzu is gone" and then slammed the door, Zhao Jianwu, who was chased out on the side, looked a little blue, obviously this conflict training failed.
"What's going on?" Duke walked over and asked Zhao Jianwu softly. "Alas, today's young people have too strong personalities, no matter how you say it, it doesn't work" Zhao Jianwu sighed and said. "Oh, don't take it to heart, he can leave if he wants, we won't turn around without him. This kind of person, it's good to leave early. Duke reassured.
"Lifei, don't carry any ideological baggage, how to manage it, for some people who can't adapt to our company culture, they should be eliminated." Duke turned his head to the side, his face flushed with excitement, and Li Lifei said.
"Thank you, Mr. Du! I'm going to do things first. Seeing that the big boss not only did not criticize himself, but also persuaded him kindly, Li Lifei said gratefully. Now everyone in the company knows that Duke is the largest shareholder of the company, so although Duke doesn't care much, everyone knows that as long as Duke says it, he must follow it, unless he doesn't want to do it.
A small storm ended. A few days later, Li Lifei's project,On the development framework provided by Duke,Soon completed the preview version of the first simplified function,Now it has been tested on different Andriod versions of mobile phones,The functions are relatively stable,It seems that the Android version of the Sala input method should also be completed as scheduled。
Zhao Jianwu's in-depth customization project is progressing relatively slowly, but it is not the responsibility of SAL, because it involves the joint development of Gemdale mobile phone, many functional control programming interfaces Gemdale provides slower speed, and has completed voice unlocking, voice control to make calls, send text messages, manage contacts, play files and other core functions and open any designated software, the current customized content is relatively simple, that is, the original need for mobile phone touch to replace the place with voice control, Relatively speaking, in addition to the control programming of the first function is more difficult, you need to learn the control programming skills under Android, the addition of the following functions becomes just a physical work, it can be said that as long as Gemdale provides a programming interface, the project team here can quickly realize voice control based on Sala voice recognition.
However, this progress has been concerned about the Gemdale boss Mr. Zhong is very satisfied, in Gemdale's new product planning, the first heavyweight product to be created, is a smart phone that can be completely controlled by voice, Mr. Zhong hopes that this mobile phone can bear the burden of the company's entry into the high-end mobile phone market, and it is also the main model of the high-end market of Gemdale Company's 3,000 yuan. In terms of hardware, it is completely compared with the hardware components of the iphone, and some core components such as CPUs are even better than those of the iPhone. Once the prototype is completed, the monthly shipment of spare parts is required to be no less than two million spare parts in stock.
In accordance with this requirement, Gemdale's hardware design department chooses a top high-definition touch screen with a resolution of up to 720P (720×1280 pixels), equipped with the latest TI Texas Instruments dual-core processor chip and SGX540 graphics processor, 1GB high-speed memory and 32GB/64GB storage space, as well as a 14 million pixel camera, which not only has strong 3D performance and graphics processing capabilities, but also provides media processing functions such as 1080P HD video recording and playback. It can be said that it integrates the current powerful top-notch component configuration, and due to the voice control as the main means of operation, in addition to the touch screen, the whole machine only retains a power on button and a charging/headphone multi-purpose socket. Gemdale's hardware design department adopts the three-shift 24-hour continuous rotation mode, and the software R&D department is not idle, they are fully adapting to the mainstream Android4 system on the single-board verification machine, and need to solve major technical difficulties such as the matching between energy consumption and performance, which is very difficult and the progress is somewhat slow.
However, these things are the trouble of Gemdale, and everything is going well in SAL Company, which makes Cai Siqiang breathe a sigh of relief. After carrying this stage, after the personnel run in well, the situation will get better and better.
