Zhang Zhonghua was a little stunned when he heard Little Watson's words, where is this? I'm here to talk to you about cooperation, you talk to me about food.

Well, my hot summer food is indeed charming, as long as you accept the hot summer food, you will never be able to do without it in the end.

"If there's enough ingredients here, I'm more than happy to help you, because food is one of my biggest passions."

Zhang Zhonghua said very politely to little Watson.

"Yes, yes, yes, since the last time I ate the hot summer food you made at your residence, I have fallen in love with the hot summer food, and now our IBM canteen has started to provide Chinese food to the company's employees."

When little Watson heard that Zhang Zhonghua agreed to cook, he immediately said with great joy, he doesn't care if Zhang Zhonghua is a guest now, he must eat the food made by Zhang Zhonghua again, I Thomas Watson said, Jesus can't stop it!!

"No problem, there are thousands of dishes in the eight major cuisines of Yanxia, and the Yanxia cuisine is broad and profound, and I have only mastered a part, if you have the opportunity to go to Yanxia, you will be reluctant to come back." But for now, let's get down to business! ”

After a brief chat between the two, little Watson took Zhang Zhonghua to IBM's laboratory, and Zhang Long was holding a box of tapes beside him.

He understood that Zhang Zhonghua was here to do business, not to hang out, and he would talk about it after finishing his business first.

Under the leadership of Watson Jr., Zhang Zhonghua walked into a room, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw a supercomputer, which was a super huge supercomputer, and the mechanical hard disk occupied more than several cubic meters of space.

Little Watson looked at Zhang Zhonghua's shocked expression and was very satisfied, and said with a smile:

"This is the latest supercomputer developed by IBM, which is infinitely close to the 16-bit central processing unit, and the storage space of the hard disk is as high as 10G, of course, the cost is also very expensive, and the price of one is as high as 60 million US dollars."

Zhang Zhonghua was indeed a little shocked when he looked at this computer, but he was also shocked by the price and volume. Although the configuration is not even as good as that of later smartphones, it is definitely the world's top now, and it can be regarded as a super supercomputer.

"IBM's technology is truly remarkable, and it completely crushes the world."

Zhang Zhonghua said.

In the future, a U disk is 32G, and the cost of this 10G mechanical hard disk will be 20 million US dollars.

"Dear Zhang, what software did you bring me this time?"

Watson Jr. asked curiously, looking at the tape in the box.

"I developed a banking system for my own bank, but the current multics system was too difficult to use, so I thought about developing a server system myself.

After a lot of hard work, I found that the current computer language was difficult to meet my requirements, so I developed a set of computer language C by myself, and then used the IX system I developed. ”

Zhang Zhonghua politely introduced his purpose and said the most awesome words in the most calm tone!

Zhang Zhonghua gave himself full marks for this forced pretend, and one less point is a blasphemy against this force, and a computer language was redeveloped in order to develop a server system, which is unique in the world.

Zhang Zhonghua's return made little Watson directly stunned, and his mind popped up

Damn, who am I? Where am I? The experts in the laboratory were all shocked and confused, even if you develop a banking system, everyone can understand, but you want to develop a server operating system, okay, we admit it, but you develop a new language, this is too scary.

Dear Zhang, I know you are a great god, but for the sake of developing a new computer language for a banking system, are you as good as that?

The next step is to look into new computers if you don't think IBM's computer performance is up to your requirements.

The pride of these experts at IBM was bruised all over their bodies, and they really felt the unevenness of the world.

Even little Watson began to doubt life, and in the past few years, various new computer languages have emerged one after another. And Zhang Zhonghuasi is simply not human to develop a new computer language and operating system for a banking system.

Watson Jr. took Zhang Zhonghua to change the laboratory, and then instructed these experts to install new computer languages and operating systems.

Soon the ix system developed by Zhang Zhonghua was successfully installed on the new large-scale industrial machine, and Zhang Zhonghua also breathed a long sigh of relief.

The system was very simple, the only trouble was that it took half an hour to copy the tape, and it only took five minutes to install the system.

This is also why IBM sells compression software so expensive, because the current memory is too bad.

"I'll show you the UNIX operating system first."

Zhang Zhonghua came to the computer, his hands dancing quickly on the keyboard, showing the powerful functions of the UNIX system to the people in the room.

The UNIX system is small in size and occupies very little space on the computer, and it occupies less of the various resources of the computer, so it is super process to run on the computer.

The experts in the laboratory watched Zhang Zhonghuas tap his hands on the keyboard at great speed, and were deeply stimulated, how many years has he been single?

At the same time, IBM's experts were also impressed by the powerful functions and performance of the UNIX system, which was born for IBM, and this system is too awesome.

Was this really developed for the banking system? This system is fully capable of meeting all industry needs.

"The UNIX system is structurally divided into two parts, the core program and the peripheral program, and the two are organically combined into a whole. The core part is responsible for the functions of each module within the system, i.e., processor and process management, storage management, device management, and file system ......"

Zhang Zhonghua began to introduce the characteristics of the UNIX system to these experts, or to satisfy the curiosity of these experts first, and looked at the eyes of these experts with admiration and was very satisfied.

"The file system of the UNIX system is a tree structure, which consists of a basic file system and several detachable sub-file systems, which can not only expand the file storage space, but also facilitate security and confidentiality;

The UNIX system unifies files, file directories, and devices, and it accesses files sequentially or randomly as a stream of characters without any records;

The UNIX system also provides simple inter-process communication. ”

An expert quickly understood the characteristics of the UNIX system and began to introduce it to Watson Jr., he introduced the advantages of the UNIX system, and finally concluded that the UNIX system is the best system at present, which is very suitable for IBM's industrial machine.

After hearing this, little Watson took a deep breath.

Zhang Zhonghua is really a super genius, he was born for computers, and he is not inferior to Mr. Turing.

"I'll show you the C language again, the reason why it's called C language is because I wasn't very satisfied with B language before, so I improved it on the basis of B language, so I called it C language."

Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.

Subsequently, in front of a group of IBM experts, Zhang Zhonghua began to use the C language to carry out various operations, and casually wrote a few small programs, and the power of the direct C language was vividly demonstrated by Zhang Zhonghua.

"C is a process-oriented, abstract general-purpose programming language that is widely used in low-level development. C can compile and process low-level memory in a simple way. ”

Zhang Zhonghua once again introduced the powerful functions of the C language, and if you want to promote C, you need to do without the support of IBM

After Zhang Zhonghua demonstrated the main functions of the IX system, he then left a group of confused IBM executives and computer experts and IBM staff to take them to the Chinese canteen, and he did not participate in the rest of the time, IBM executives needed time to discuss and study.

Tens of thousands of employees at IBM headquarters work together, and there are dozens of canteens of all sizes, including many specialty restaurants from all over the world.

Zhang Zhonghua has seen many specialty restaurants in East Asian countries, such as Dongying cuisine, Indian cuisine, Malaysian cuisine, etc., but the only pity is that there is no stick kimchi from the universe power.

However, South Korea is still in dire straits and is still recovering after the war, and it was only after 1985 that it really took off, and with the economic take-off, all the Korean food in this small country went to the world.

Zhang Zhonghua strolled to the Chinese canteen and saw twenty or thirty chefs busy, but Zhang Zhonghua understood after watching it for a while that these people's cooking skills had changed in order to adapt to the tastes of the ugly people.

Zhang Zhonghua was not polite, he directly took over the back kitchen, and began to carefully guide these chefs, if it was in IBM headquarters to carry forward Chinese food, it would be good, the popularity of anything is from the top down, of course, Zhang Zhonghua does not expect these foreigners to use fast seeds.

And this is dozens of experts in the laboratory gathered in front of several screens, discussing fiercely, looking at the source code of the two programs, all the experts were deeply impressed.

Little Watson also understood at this time that the IX system is the source code provided, but it is simply encapsulated and not encrypted, and the C language is the source code, which is understandable, but the UNIX system is also to be provided for everyone to use for free?

"Chairman, the UNIX system is more than ten times better than the current Multics system, and can be applied to almost all industries, this should be the best operating system at present."

IBM Chief Architect said.

"So, the market prospects for this operating system are very?"

Computer systems are really expensive, they can be more expensive than all the software they sell, and an excellent operating system is simply a mountain of gold.

"Yes, the new computer language developed by Mr. Zhang is also very powerful, and it can run smoothly without additional hardware support at all, and the Unix system also supports other languages very well."

Watson Jr. doesn't think that Zhang Zhonghua forgot to encrypt the UNIX system, even if it is to charge for the promotion of the UNIX system.

This time, little Watson couldn't understand Zhang Zhonghua a little, he couldn't understand what Zhang Zhonghua was thinking at all.

At noon, a group of IBM executives and experts left the laboratory and came to the Chinese canteen, Zhang Zhonghua also prepared several large pot dishes, six home-cooked dishes such as fish-flavored shredded pork, mushu meat, kung pao chicken, vinegared shredded potatoes, etc., and by the way, a wave of younger brothers were collected in the canteen.

Chinese food is still a little shocked by these experts, some people like Chinese food for the first time, of course, there are also not very adaptable, but Zhang Zhonghua feels that using a fork to pick up vegetables is a little unhygienic.

After the meal, Zhang Zhonghua and Xiao Watson and a few others came to a spacious conference room, and it was time to talk about business after eating and drinking, after all, everyone was very busy.

"Zhang, I don't know what your plan is?"

Watson Jr. asked.

"I plan to make the UNIX system I developed completely free and open source, so that I can attract more companies, research institutes and universities to join in and promote the UNIX system together.

Nowadays, there are too many computer operating systems in the world, and each country and industry basically has its own operating system, and even many large group companies have their own operating systems, which brings great trouble to software development and is not conducive to the development of the computer industry.

If we improve an open source system together, it will bring more convenience to hardware and software developers, and the computer industry can also develop faster. ”

Zhang Zhonghua said.

Zhang Zhonghua of the UNIX system must not have the ability to promote, so you need to look at your allies, without the support of hardware giants, you can only play stand-alone, so Zhang Zhonghua is eyeing IBM.

As for the charge, don't think about it, it's not easy to promote for free, and if you charge it, it's purely to add blockage to the promotion system.

Only by using it for free can you clean up all kinds of other messy systems, but in this way, you will offend many companies, and the cake that touches people's interests will also become the public enemy of many companies, so you need more support.

Zhang Zhonghua is for the progress of the world's computer technology and for the benefit of the vast number of computer practitioners around the world, and he does not hesitate to sacrifice his own interests to make enemies, which should bring him a huge reputation.

Is there a free lunch in the world? Of course there is, but all the free stuff is marked with a price in the dark.

Later generations have proved a truth, that is, free things are often the most expensive.

Watson Jr. and a group of IBM computer engineers were shocked by Zhang Zhonghua, this selfless dedication is really amazing, sacrificing personal interests to benefit the global computer industry, this spirit can really make many people ashamed of themselves.

"Zhang, you are a great computer practitioner. We IBM are the first to join your UNIX Association, IBM will vigorously develop and promote UNIX systems, and strive to promote the progress of computer technology for all mankind. ”

Little Watson said with some excitement, but this excitement was fleeting.

After all, Watson Jr. is a businessman, although he is moved by Zhang Zhonghua's selfless dedication and is willing to join the UNIX Association, but he will also organize IBM to organize a team to study the two programs as soon as possible, and launch a more perfect system as soon as possible, so as to seize the market as soon as possible and completely defeat those competitors.

Time is money, my friend.
