Chapter 34 Next Steps
In the Q group called "Card Bar Scattered Immortal Friendship Group", after Xia Ming withdrew, he was speechless for a long time.
Xia Ming had already given the advisory group a pass, and after the cicada made contact with Google, the war was almost over. Although everyone already knows, and the cicada kinetic energy has come to this point, Prometheus can pull out Google to cover the bottom, which has exceeded everyone's most optimistic expectations, but now that I heard Xia Ming say sorry, the hundreds of people in the advisory group still feel uncomfortable.
After a while, the member with the ID "Plausible" said, "I have an idea. β
Immediately followed by a bunch of speeches.
[I also have an idea, the idea of Prometheus can't be pushed by the movement of cicadas alone, the pressure is too great. γ
[I don't think there's any point in just stumbling around in the Q group.] γ
That's what it means! We should do something! γ
[It's inconvenient to be on the Q group, there are too many people in the card bar, and it's easy to be infiltrated and controlled. γ
[Why don't you make a forum and bring your own people together.] γ
"Plausible" said: "The forum is not enough, let's build a website similar to Guoke." β
Everyone agreed, and the topic turned to what to choose.
[Anti-capitalist! γ
γPeanut shells?γ Melon seed shells? γ
[Call a hammer Internet cafΓ©, smash the shackles, and give me back my freedom!] γ
[Do you want to add another scythe?] What about the hammer......]
There are many people with mixed mouths and different opinions, and after the message of "plausible and wrong" was issued, the group was silent for a while, and they all agreed.
[How about calling it a cactus?] People like us are like cacti. γ
At this time, Xia Ming didn't know it, because of his "I'm sorry", the future folk "science and technology underworld forces" took root.
At the end of the press conference, it happened that another place was also over, and the lobby was full of people, Xia Ming and Zhang Zhicheng could only hide in the corner and chat.
Zhang Zhicheng said with a smile: "Now Mengzhen Magic Mirror doesn't dare to make too many small moves, you kid makes the mobile phone and APP circles complain." β
The admiration in his words was sincere: "I really didn't expect that the loophole of Android could be made by you to make such a big article, and Google had to admit it." β
I haven't figured out how Prometheus got the system management rights when I was engaged in technology, and as soon as Google came forward, it had a rough direction, it must be an Android vulnerability, and it is not an ordinary vulnerability. Zhang Zhicheng can guess this, and it is reasonable.
Xia Ming did not deny it: "It's not my credit, it's my senior brother." β
Zhang Zhicheng's heart trembled, sure enough, there is a better master than Xia Ming, and it is natural for Prometheus to be able to make this battle.
He asked tentatively: "Google has spent a lot of money to clean up this mess, at least it has to make up for your losses, and Prometheus is at least hundreds of millions of plates." β
"How can there be, Google doesn't make money on the Android system, not to mention that we are exploiting loopholes, it would be good to help us with the bottom line", Xia Ming sighed: "It's only a few million dollars, we are engaged in this, and we are also subsidizing the research institute, and I never thought about making a lot of money." β
Before, for the sake of urgency, I came up with an anti-cracking technology that still can't be cracked.,This time in order to subsidize the research institute.,All of a sudden, it shook the entire Android industry.,Next time you get something.,Is this earth dangerous?
Zhang Zhicheng thought so, but couldn't help but ask: "Do you have any plans for the future?" Like what...... Is there a commercial consideration for anti-cracking technology next year? Xiao Xia, we are not outsiders anymore, just say that you can use me, don't forget me if you have a chance to make a fortune. I'm just such a layman, technically I don't have anything but the Dream True Magic Mirror, and the experience in the mall is still useful to you. β
Xia Ming thanked Zhang Zhicheng for recommending You Kuang, and then said: "The anti-cracking side is not ready to be commercialized, there is no hardware support, and it is useless to take out that method alone." By next year, the Dream True Magic Mirror will also gain a firm foothold, and it is best to change the current anti-cracking technology. If someone gets the idea right, it's easier than cracking the existing means of secrecy. β
Zhang Zhicheng nodded, he also considered this aspect himself, and now that Xia Ming said this, he had to prepare in advance.
"We are indeed still working on something, and it is also related to Mr. Zhang, and we will find Mr. Zhang when we have eyebrows", Xia Ming revealed a little bit of the inside story, Zhang Zhicheng's Dream True Magic Mirror is indeed related to his next plan.
Zhang Zhicheng was relieved and said with a smile: "Don't always stop always calling me Lao Zhang." β
The two shook hands and said goodbye, and when they passed by the lobby, Xia Ming and two well-dressed people almost collided, the other party should not have participated in the cicada press conference, and they didn't know Xia Ming, and their nagging was clearly transmitted into Xia Ming's consciousness space.
"When will Panwang Daguan also become a vegetable market? Anyone can come in. β
"I participated in the mobile phone press conference just now, that circle, isn't it just a vegetable market, everyone has it."
"A cell phone? Hehe, no matter how lively it is, it is singing at the front desk. β
"Yes, over the years, we have become the heroes behind the scenes, and even the media don't pay much attention to it."
"Cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence all rely on us, so it's good to let these clowns be amused on stage."
Superiority and discrimination are really everywhere......
Xia Ming sighed with emotion, and looked at the conference notice board when he went out, in addition to the cicada, there was also an Intel press conference.
"Naruko, we have nothing to do with the cicadas?"
Before he returned to the office, he was in the parking lot, and Li Diluo couldn't help but ask urgently. Xiao Huan and Gu Mingli's mood was not very high, and they did not participate in the negotiations with Google, and now they know that Prometheus has been taken away by Google.
Xia Ming glanced at Li Diluo: "Do you want to be beautiful......
What's more is that starting tomorrow, the developer version will be raised to $69 per set, and it will be sold as a value-added suite on the Android developer support platform, and Cicada will provide technical support and after-sales service. The free version still needs to be developed, and the sign of Prometheus has been launched, so by the way, develop some things, such as mobile phone manager or something, how can you make some money.
What's more, Xia Ming's next plan also needs to rely on cicadas.
He confessed: "You take Xiao Huan and Xiao Gu back first, and I'll pick you up at the airport." β
"Who?" Li Diluo asked ambiguously.
Hey, this guy knows? Xia Ming was a little strange.
Li Di Luo said: "In the past, your computer desktop was all science fiction themes such as EVE, but now it has been replaced by lily, gladiolus or something, it all means blessing peace, and I have carefully studied the flower language." β
This kid actually has shrewd times......
"You guessed the beginning, but you didn't guess the end."
Too lazy to tell him more, Xia Ming drove away.
"Mr. Li, does Xia Dong have a girlfriend?"
On the way back to the company, Gu Mingli couldn't help but ask.
Li Diluo shrugged: "How can someone like Naruko not have a girlfriend?" But I don't know what the sacredness is. β
Xiao Huan asked, "What kind of person is Xia Ming?" I don't think I can understand it. β
"Cowman, don't you all know?" Li Diluo thought for a while and added: "Speaking of character, he doesn't like to talk, he has a good temper, he often talks to himself, he is quite proud in his bones, and to be honest, he is sometimes better than me." β
Both girls giggled, and it was really fun to hear one of them talk about the other two.
When laughing, Xiao Huan's bright eyes dimmed a lot on weekdays, but Gu Mingli rolled her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
If Xia Ming knew Li Diluo's evaluation, he would definitely nod in agreement, and look at Li Diluo differently. Sometimes he is really quite two, just like now, people don't want him to pick up the plane, he has to go. The reason is that time is limited, and he doesn't want the other party to continue to hesitate.
He didn't go to pick up Tang Xiaotang, Tang Xiaotang had already gone to Europe, and when she was in the United States, she found a relationship and successfully persuaded Yan University to postpone the abolition of the institute until the Spring Festival next year. But the search for new sources of artificial synapses has not yet been fully implemented, and it is necessary to visit several laboratories in Europe.
Today's guy he's called Matthew Lawrence, the developer of Mekrit's technology, and that's the next step he's going to do.
Lawrence was upset and whined in the car, either complaining that the road was too congested or laughing at how poor the comfort of the copycat Hummer was.
Originally, Xia Ming also invited Lawrence to attend the press conference, but he deliberately arrived late and avoided the press conference, which was to euphemistically tell Xia Ming that this was just a limited contact, and he didn't expect too much from this matter before.
As one of the technical leaders of Microsoft's DX department, he has no thoughts about the Mekrit technology that he came up with ten years ago. Looking back now, where did I get the courage to challenge the entire display technology at that time!?
Just for this brain hole, he wasted ten years of time before and after. If he hadn't been so maverick at the beginning, why would he still work for the general manager of a department in his fifties? The brothers in the same period have all succeeded in their careers, either the CEO of this company or the CTO of that company, which is two lines of blood and tears......
Unexpectedly, Wu Sihao, an old subordinate on the Huaxia side ten years ago, strongly invited him to come, saying that it was to talk about Mekrit technology cooperation, not that Wu Sihao threatened to say that if he didn't come, if the other party did it himself, it would be completely his business, and he didn't want to come at all.
Even if he came, Lawrence didn't want to be led by the other party, but he didn't expect that this young man named Xia Ming didn't give him a chance to be false and prevaricated, and directly intercepted him at the airport gate.
Wu Sihao beside him said good things one after another, and Lawrence thought to himself that after this trip, his relationship with this old subordinate was completely broken.
"Artificial intelligence research? What does it have to do with graphics technology? β
When he arrived at Yan University, in front of the small building of the research institute, looking at the English on the signboard, Lawrence's patience, which had been exhausted on the road, was barely squeezed out because of this doubt.
Then another young man who greeted him introduced himself as a graduate of the California Institute of Technology, and his patience squeezed out a little more, at least the other party was not fooling him. Of course, it is impossible for him to take this matter seriously by relying on these alone, and the graphics and image technology has developed to this level, how can he go back and start a new floor?
Then a non-disclosure agreement was placed in front of him, and Lawrence bit his lip, this matter ...... It's getting more and more evil!
"Mr. Lawrence, the current graphic image technology is based on relying on flat dot pixels to simulate visual effects, which is not in line with the direction of future development. In the future, the display technology should not only solve the problem of more detailed plane display, but also solve the problem of more realistic three-dimensional display, everything is based on the existing technology, is it reasonable? β
"I'm sure you can relate to that, and that's the underlying idea of Mekrit's technology, right? Think about it, if the future 3D display is still simulated by a polygon model composed of points and surfaces, how much will this limit our pursuit of reproducing reality? Mekrit technology solves this problem mechanically, it's a real reproduction! I believe that even if we can't replace the existing display technology now, we will seize the future. β
Xia Ming's free talk, because of the stammering English, seemed to be emotionally insufficient, and the effect was not good, after all, he was improvised in the space of consciousness to practice the spoken language.
"I know you are very confused, why we do artificial intelligence research will find you, the reason is very simple, artificial intelligence research involves the presentation of graphics and images, the existing display technology can not meet our needs, after all, the existing technology is only simulation, not to reproduce the reality."
"To explain further, there are some details in our research, which is why I asked you to sign this agreement. It's a look at existing technology from the cutting edge, and if an expert like you is leading this direction, we have a better chance of success. β
While Xia Ming flickered, he was very glad that the signboard of the institute was still there, otherwise Lawrence would not have been able to bird him.
Lawrence's attitude finally relented: "I need to see something first, something that will convince me to continue to dive into this thing." β
Xia Ming looked at Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng nodded, indicating that it had been done.
"No problem!"
Xia Ming motioned for Lin Cheng to take over, and Lin Cheng led Lawrence to the computer room on the first floor, while he looked at Wu Sihao and asked, "Brother shrimp, have you thought about it?" β
Wu Sihao was the Wudao shrimp who had provided Xia Ming with clues about Mekrit's technology before, and said with some hesitation: "Don't you wait for him to make a decision?" β
Xia Ming said: "We are in a hurry, and the sooner someone takes over this stall, the better." β
He looked at Wu Sihao and said with a pun: "If the ideal is still there, I will definitely agree." β
