Chapter 25: The Morning Star System
When Zhou Yu heard the data of 3 million, he knew that the sales volume of holographic bracelets far exceeded expectations.
He approved: "You have worked hard these days, and the company's employees have worked hard for a month, and finally have a perfect answer."
Lin Yun said politely: "Our sales department really didn't make much effort, and it was the employees in the two fields of R&D and factory who worked hard.
Zhang Yunqiang, manager of the network technology department, worked for two days in a row, which spread throughout the company.
It is all thanks to the hard work of these people that the holographic bracelet can be sold well. ”
"Manager Zhang is very hardworking, he is an important contributor to the research and development of holographic bracelets, holographic bracelets are the company's collaborative production, every department is indispensable.
Your sales department now needs to increase your advertising efforts, and at the same time keep a close eye on the market trends, and don't be blinded by temporary success. Zhou Yu explained.
After he learned about the sales data, he went downstairs and went straight to the network technology department, as one of the two major R&D departments of Xinghuo Technology, the network technology department is really hard, and it is common to spend the night in the company.
In order to prevent their sudden death, Zhou Yu specially asked doctors and nutritionists to take care of them, and issued a strict order not to work overtime for more than two days in a row.
Because of the existence of bee swarm intelligence, the network technology department is the only department in the company that can "liver".
After the programmer gets rid of the complicated coding work, he starts brainstorming and coming up with all kinds of weird features, so that Xiaomi can try to write the program one by one.
Zhou Yu came to the network technology department and saw Zhang Yunqiang patrolling everywhere.
He walked over and asked with concern: "Yun Qiang, do you need to rest for a while, you only had one day off yesterday, I'm afraid you won't rest enough."
You spent two days writing the Morningstar operating system, and now you must have overused your brain. ”
"It's okay, young anti-manufacturing, and besides, the Morning Star system is very simple." Zhang Yunqiang said nonchalantly.
Zhou Yu saw Zhang Yunqiang's attitude, he was also very helpless, Zhang Yunqiang is usually very obedient, but no one can persuade him when his stubborn temper comes up.
At the end of the meeting on the 29th, Zhang Yunqiang said that the holographic bracelet press conference was too anxious, and the bracelet could not play its due intelligence with the Android operating system.
Zhou Yu explained to him for a long time, the raw materials have been set, and the robot will lose a lot of money for a day, and the loan interest is also huge.
A day's delay is devouring the company's funds, which has a great impact on the development of the project.
Zhang Yunqiang was stubborn and said that he would fight hard and develop an operating system in two days.
Zhou Yu didn't believe it at all, let alone two days, it would be impossible to complete it in two years.
He knows the difficulty of developing an operating system, Microsoft and Google, two operating system giants, which one does not spend thousands of employees to develop an operating system.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yunqiang really created a miracle and developed a barely usable Morningstar system.
Zhou Yu patted Zhang Yunqiang on the shoulder and said, "Now that the prototype of the Morning Star System has been studied, you must make persistent efforts to improve the Morning Star System as soon as possible."
Zhang Yunqiang said proudly: "The biggest difficulty of the Morningstar system has made a breakthrough, and we will definitely make persistent efforts to achieve greater breakthroughs."
"I've got some technical details to ask you, let's go to your office and discuss it." Zhou Yu said to Zhang Yunqiang.
The two of them chatted as they walked, and soon came to Zhang Yunqiang's office.
Zhou Yu asked suspiciously: "You have told me about the Morningstar system, but I don't know much about the logic of its specific operation, this system will be the direction of our company's key development in the future, I want to understand it in detail."
Zhang Yunqiang knocked on the keyboard a few times, turned the computer screen to Zhou Yu, and said, "Brother Zhou, this is the source code of the Morningstar operating system."
Zhou Yu probably took a look, and when he saw the total number of pages in the interface, he felt that it was wrong, and the Morningstar operating system code was too small.
He began to read the source code for Morningstar's operating system, which is assembly language mixed with much of machine language.
This is what he is, if he is a programmer with a professional background, he will be confused.
Zhou Yu finished reading the core program of Morningstar's operating system and learned about how it works.
He finally knew why Zhang Yunqiang was able to write this operating program in two days, because it was so simple, so simple that people who knew a little about the program couldn't believe it.
"Are you an operating system? Game engines are more complex than this operating system, which is turning back the clock on history. Zhou Yu said with some tears and laughter.
Zhang Yunqiang's Morningstar system, using a computer system analogy, is to write a DOC system, which allows the program to control the BIOS, and then control the hardware to execute commands.
There is a read-only hardware mobilization program written on the holographic bracelet photosensitive carbon crystalYJKZ, which is only 120K in size, and the function is to control the input and output of the hardware.
The Chenguang system written by Zhang Yunqiang has only one function, which is to control the YJKZ program.
All the functions of the program running on the M&G system are realized through the program itself, and the operating system is just a data transfer station.
Zhang Yunqiang said confidently: "I have just said that it is very simple, and I spend most of my time looking for loopholes.
The Morningstar system was able to run programs, the programs did not crash, and our goals were achieved.
As for the optimization of the system in the future, we will solve it later, and we will first solve the problem before we can consider whether it is good or not. ”
"This ......" Zhou Yu nodded and said: "What you said is also right, but this operating system is only 20M, and Xianghua's client intelligent program is 10G, I always feel that it does not match the times."
"The swarm intelligent system has developed to 300 billion nodes, the size of the entire program is 1567T, and the client program is only 10G, which is not coordinated." Zhang Wenqiang joked.
"Come on! Our company may not be able to develop this DOC-like operating system into a real operating system.
But don't forget to maintain the smart software on the holographic bracelet, which is to be built into the company's cash cow. Zhou Yu encouraged.
"Don't worry, now the development of the operating system is all up to me, and the rest of the company is optimizing these functional software." Zhang Yunqiang immediately explained.
Zhou Yu heard Zhang Yunqiang's explanation, his brows furrowed, Zhang Yunqiang said easily, but this also exposed the biggest weakness of the network technology department.
The entire department could not form a joint force, and the development of the Morningstar system was completed by Zhang Yunqiang alone.
"Yun Qiang, what's going on, recruiting so many employees, you can't rely on you alone for important work, you will be exhausted sooner or later." Zhou Yu immediately asked for the specific reason.
Zhang Yunqiang spread his hands and said helplessly: "The employees we recruit, they are all from professional backgrounds, and they don't know how to write programs in assembly language at all.
I have never met someone as talented as me who can learn to write a program in assembly language in a short period of time.
It's completely impossible to get them to learn assembly language again, learning efficiency is one thing, and companies can't just let them learn and not work for nothing.
Fortunately, now Xiaomi's functions are powerful, they only need to write the core framework and program to implement the function, and Xiaomi will write a machine code program.
They just need to constantly test the bugs of the program and let Xiaomi make targeted improvements. ”
"This is my pot, I didn't expect assembly language to be so hard." Zhou Yu patted his head with his hand and said.
"This is actually very easy to change, and our company's main force in writing programs has now become Xiaomi, using swarm intelligence to write machine language programs.
Employees only need to write the program framework and implementation functions, which can be implemented in Chinese.
You can make a Chinese vocabulary to express the meaning of a computer program, that is, Chinese programming language, and let Xiaomi understand this language.
Once the project is successful, programmers can use it without even knowing their native language.
In this way, not only programmers, but also mathematicians and other professionals with a little training can also use this tool to write programs. ”
Zhou Yu synthesized the capabilities of Xinghuo Technology and gave this suggestion.
Zhang Yunqiang slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "I didn't think of such a good idea, the development of the Chinese programming language tool is also more conducive to the writing of the Morningstar system."
