Hemor's routine took nearly an hour, and it was only at the end that he mentioned the cicadas.

"Cicada Technology's Prometheus has made an important contribution to the improvement and enrichment of Android NX, and Google announced that Cicada Technology will promote the development of Android NX in the Chinese market as a core partner of Android NX......

When Hemo left, none of the people present came back to their senses, what kind of nonsense was this talking about? It's not useful at all!

Then Xia Ming came on the stage, and the words "Xia Ming, Chairman of Cicada Technology" were played on the big screen on one side, and on the other side of the screen were young college students with ordinary appearance, wandering eyes, and still looking very shy. The live video passed through the Internet, and in a moment it was reflected in the eyes of tens of millions of people, and a ** like a broken glasses seemed to come from the void.

Where is this Xia Ming sacred?

In this network society, how can a person who shows up can stand the human flesh of netizens, and when Xia Ming took the microphone, a series of identities such as "Yanhua University Journalism and Communication Major", "Yanshan University Artificial Intelligence Research Institute", "Mengzhen Anti-Cracking System Developer" and so on were made public on the barrage of meager words, say it, technical forums and video websites.

These identities and backgrounds were all "confessed" by Xia Ming through the advisory group, and since he wants to show his face, he can't avoid being dug up. Instead of letting the online paparazzi dig indiscriminately, it is better to take the initiative to throw out the key points and grasp the direction.

Third-rate university garbage major jumped to the research institute of Yan University!?

The Dream True Magic Mirror has been able to stand up to now and has not been cracked, which is the credit of this guy!?

Studying artificial intelligence!?

The water army promoted by the advisory group is still brushing some gossip: Prometheus has made Google's Android department jump, and the technical level is completely beating domestic mobile phone and APP manufacturers. I heard that there are computer geniuses from California Polytechnic University among the developers, Xia Ming can be on the same list as geniuses, and his technical strength must have reached a terrible realm that has nothing to do with age.

Sure enough, public opinion in all walks of life did not pay attention to Xia Ming's age and education, but waited for his "verdict".

"Hello everyone, I'm Xia Ming, during this time, thanks to everyone's care, Prometheus, Cicada Movement, and myself, everything is fine."

Xia Ming's opening remarks were loaded with guns and sticks, which made the audience at the scene shudder. I was originally drowsy by Hermo's scriptures, but now I am completely awake. This gesture is unforgiving.

"Thank you Mr. Hermo for your introduction, and thank you Google for your recognition of Cicada Technology, and next, I am here to announce two news about the future plans of Prometheus."

The CEOs of major mobile phone and APP companies have put down what they are doing, stared at the screen, and breathed lightly.

What kind of verdict will Xia Ming make? With the support of Google, how high will Prometheus be under the banner? has become a core partner of Google, how to pinch the neck of mobile phones and apps? How much do you have to charge? How high is the price so high that you have to tear your face, not only fighting with cicadas, but also with Google?

These questions, not only the representatives on the scene are nervously waiting for answers, but the CEOs also have to do simulation deductions in their hearts.

"First of all, Prometheus will transfer the technical kernel related to the Android runtime to Google's Android division from November 12, that is, tomorrow."

"Secondly, Prometheus will make version adjustments tomorrow, and the existing version will be changed to the developer version, which will be sold by Google's Android developer support system. A consumer version will be launched in the future, which is completely free, ad-free, and requires no network. ”

The scene was buzzing and whispering, and the audience on the Internet was also confused, what does this mean?

Xia Ming explained: "The details of the technology transfer part are as follows: the core of Prometheus' technology will be integrated into the new generation of application permission management and setting functions of Android NX, and the Doze (power management) technology of Android NX will also be refined by Prometheus. ”

With a bang, the scene exploded like a boiling pot, and the CEOs guarding the computer were also stunned.

What does this mean? It means that Android will be embedded with Prometheus' technology! It means that Google, like Prometheus, will make all the software and hardware trends of each mobile phone and APP must be displayed to users in detail!?

This is a massacre! The cicada is to hand over the knife of Prometheus to Google, and let Google slaughter indiscriminately!

On the big screen, the corners of Xia Ming's mouth pulled out an arc, both like a laugh and a mockery, and he said lightly: "As for the developer strategy of Android NX, Mr. Hemo should have talked about it just now." ”

Hemo also hurriedly beckoned the service staff to bring the microphone, adding: "The principle of cooperation between Android NX and developers has always been open and win-win, please don't worry." ”

The hustle and bustle gradually subsided, and the sound of panting breath was stacked on top of each other, making the air pressure on the scene significantly lower.

Outside the scene, those CEOs almost breathed a sigh of relief, and then their brows furrowed again.

Yandu High-tech Zone, Walnut Mobile Headquarters, Gongsun and the executives watched the video and breathed a sigh of relief.

The CEO wiped his sweat and said: "The cicada has given way......"

Gongsun sneered: "Give in, let whose step?" Not let's, but Google! ”

At the venue, the people around the CTO of Walnut Mobile asked: "I am in charge of the market, I don't know much about this, what is going on?" ”

CTO said with a complicated expression: "Prometheus will not be sold to ordinary people from tomorrow, the kernel is included in the system runtime library of Android NX, and we can make our own functional adjustments when customizing the OS." The analysis function should be left to the developer version, which will be very expensive and the average person will not buy it. The features of the free version are definitely much smaller and become more like ordinary battery-saving software. ”

The marketing supervisor patted his thigh and said, "Good news! Google has helped us get the cicada moving! ”

CTO smiled wryly: "Didn't you notice? From beginning to end, Hemo only said Android NX......"

The marketing director paused, and then took a breath: "You mean, the cicada sells the knife to Google, and Google uses this knife to force us to upgrade to NX!?" ”

"yes, I don't know what to do with the current marshmallow and the earlier version, whether it is placed in the framework of Google services, forcing us to buy the framework", the CTO said as he moved his arm and began to prepare for the problem.

"The cicada threw the pot to Google, and Google used the pot to force us to open the way for Android NX, these two are really a match made in heaven!"

In the spacious and luxurious conference room on the top floor of the wheat headquarters building in Zhuhai New District, Mr. Wang made such a summary.

Rebus, the helmsman of Wheat's mobile phone, put down the mobile phone, nodded and said, "Yes, things are generally like this, the assistant who chopped wood gave me the bottom just now...... This is confidential, everyone take out their phones and check the confidentiality again. ”

After sorting it out, Rebus said: "Prometheus got the management rights through a vulnerability in the Android runtime, which is global and has never been discovered. Cicada is very smart, it plugs this loophole with monitoring and management software and hardware functions, and the function is more complete than that of Android NX. ”

After Google learned about this, it reached an agreement with Cicada to get the kernel of Prometheus, rewrite the system runtime of NX, and completely eliminate the vulnerability. The existing Android version, Google is ready to plug the vulnerability by embedding the Prometheus kernel in the service framework, of course, whether to buy the Google service framework or not, the choice is up to us. ”

The executives present were awe-inspired, this is indeed a secret that cannot be disclosed, which is not only related to the security of mobile phones, but also affects the subsequent pricing of mobile phones. You must know that domestic mobile phone manufacturers basically do not buy Android's Google service framework, although one is only 75 cents, but it also accounts for a percentage of more than a decimal point in the cost, which belongs to the part that is prioritized and omitted.

Mr. Wang said: "I think that last year's flagship model, as well as all this year's models, this loophole must be filled, not to mention next year's." It's worth the cost, and it's not much of an impact compared to the $15 per unit we pay to Microsoft. After the entry of Google Market, many users are swiping the ROOT version to load the Google service framework by themselves. If we take this initiative, it will be a market opportunity. As for NX, I think it's okay to talk to Hermo, and if you can get the benefits, it's not impossible to go first. ”

Rebus sighed: "I'm afraid everyone thinks so, so it's okay, at least it won't be left behind." ”

Then he shook his head with a smile and said: "This cicada is simply a good man in Liangshanbo, who rebelled first and then was recruited, so I don't know how much money Google gave them." ”

Mr. Wang said with a smile: "The country's 1.3 billion Android mobile phones are equipped with a service framework, and Google only gets a billion dollars, which should not exceed 10 million US dollars, of course, it is not a small company like Cicada." ”

Rebus sighed deeply: "It's also a good thing that everyone has gone down the stairs, and it's a false alarm." But the set of small has become a big change, I don't know when the big change will come......"

At this time, the venue has entered the Q&A session, and some media asked: "Does this mean that Prometheus has retreated?" Don't stick to the old philosophy? ”

"Existing users of Prometheus can upgrade to the developer version for free, and after that, we will also retain some analysis functions as much as possible, and we have not retreated ......"

Xia Ming sighed: "But we did stop. ”

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "From tomorrow, Prometheus can only serve a small number of people, and after the popularization of Android NX, whether it can fully master the mobile phone depends on the attitude of the major mobile phone manufacturers." ”

"Cicada made this decision because it could not change the entire industry on its own, and at the same time, it did not want the dispute to continue to expand and ferment, and let the industry conflict affect social stability. Here I apologize to the supporters of Prometheus! That's all we have to do now, sorry! ”

He bowed deeply, and the people in the audience, even those watching the video, were stunned, and the barrage of the ABC station also thinned and even disappeared at this moment......

Many people are slandering: This kid is a movie-emperor!

When Xia Ming bowed in front of the camera, what flowed in his heart was a sincere apology, an apology to the advisory group, to all the users who spent money to buy Prometheus, and to all Prometheus supporters.

Prometheus was ready to make concessions when it was commercialized, after all, this is a head-on challenge to the entire mobile phone and APP industry, and it is still a loophole in Android, with the power of the cicada, it is impossible for Prometheus to stick to the end.

But it stopped after just over a month, and that's not what he wanted to see.

The problem is that Prometheus has stirred up too much turmoil in China, and the reaction of mobile phone manufacturers is only a small part, and Prometheus has done more damage to another force, that is, the forces that rely on mobile Internet to eat, such as fast payment, Xiaoxin, etc.

In the past two years, these companies have been accused of abusing their authority, and the call for stealing ** has been endless, and after Prometheus was put on the market, many people used this pig-killing knife to uncover their skin. Fortunately, the reaction of Walnut and Samsung has put mobile phone manufacturers in the front, and this force has not rushed to put pressure on Cicada Dong and himself.

If this turmoil continues, the situation of the cicada is almost close to the situation of Yang Yuanchang for the institute, which deviates from the fundamental direction of the commercialization of Prometheus. Selling Prometheus, after all, is to raise research funds.

In front of the screen, Liu Ruru whispered to himself: "It's okay, Prometheus has taken the first step, although this is only a small step for it, it is a big step in the right direction of technology." ”

Xia Ming raised his head and said: "Prometheus's philosophy is that technology respects everyone, and technology is mastered by everyone, and we will not ......waver in this concept."

Scanning the representatives of the mobile phone and app companies present, I can see the doubts, numbness, disapproval, scorn and contempt on their faces. Xia Mingxin said that the enemy is in their hearts, and the enemy they are facing is indeed the whole world. And to destroy such a world, it is impossible to ascend to the sky in one step. Today's stop is tomorrow's victory.

His epilogue is succinct but powerful: "We, we will be back!" ”

At this time, not many people believed it.
