Chapter 257 Resentment, the Sorrow of Technology (3 more chapters please order)
When Tieba and self-media were not yet popular, various BBSs were holy places for netizens to chat.
There are also many topics about carbon crystal hard drives on SuiChat, with as many as 100,000 items.
"After seeing such news, I was really angry! Do Americans really care about data security?"
"The performance of carbon crystal hard drives is much better than that of mechanical hard drives. Changtian Technology's carbon crystal hard drives have already dominated the market of mechanical hard drive manufacturers such as Seagate Western Digital. They are just doing this to protect their own interests!"
"Microsoft is really disgusting. Since it is using its own system to help the American Semiconductor Association ban carbon crystal hard drives!"
"That's right, this action is really disgusting! If the carbon crystal hard drive was an American brand, would Americans still do this?"
"In the final analysis, our own technological strength is not good enough. We don't have our own CPU, our own motherboard, and we don't have our own system. We finally had our own carbon crystal hard drive with independent technology, but we ended up being banned!"
"I do have a solution! We don't need a Windows system! Can't we solve this problem using other systems?"
"Reply to the person upstairs, he must be a computer novice. Indeed, the systems on the market now are not only Windows, but also Linux, Dos, etc.
But Windows is a window-based system for users. Its operation is very simple and its coverage is very wide, not to mention its applications. If you don't use Windows system, will you use Linux and DOS?"
"I agree with what you said above. Many of our current applications are based on the Windows system. Without the Windows system, many applications would be inoperable."
"Then we can't develop our own system?"
"This is even more naive! Do you know how much underlying code there is in the Windows system? Tens of millions of lines! This is a huge project that cannot be completed by one or two people. Even Microsoft took several years to develop it.
!”
The news that Microsoft banned carbon crystal hard drives became one of the biggest news at the end of June 2001.
Its impact on society is second only to the heroic pilot's plane crashing into an American reconnaissance plane in April.
Even when chatting in the garden of the community, elderly people would say: "Americans are really bad! If our products compete, we will use all kinds of despicable means to block them!"
"We should be tougher ourselves, so what if we don't use that system!"
The complaints from the people and netizens will be complaints, and the anger will be anger. The problem still needs to be solved.
Yanjing, Xiaguo Supercomputing Center.
The Supercomputing Center has realized the difficulties encountered by Changtian Technology.
The Supercomputing Center is a collaborator of Changtian Technology and a witness of carbon crystal storage technology.
Carbon crystal storage technology has brought great performance improvements to the supercomputers of the supercomputing center. This time Changtian Technology encountered a crisis, the supercomputing center responded immediately.
The supercomputing center communicated with Changtian Technology to see if it needed any help, and asked its elite engineers to try their best to crack Microsoft's blocking method.
This was a contest between elites, but it was obvious that Xia's engineers were at a disadvantage.
After all, you don’t know the underlying code of Windows, so it is very difficult to start from scratch.
As for the engineers from Changtian Technology and Xiaguo Supercomputing Center, you have given some ideas to users.
For example, users can turn off automatic updates of windows when not connected to the Internet, and use technical means to prevent automatic updates of windows from automatically connecting to the Internet, etc.
However, these methods can be effective for up to half an hour. After half an hour, as long as your computer is connected to the Internet, the system will immediately recognize the update. After the update, the carbon crystal hard drive will not be recognized.
Director Yu of the Xiaguo Supercomputing Center received news about carbon crystal hard drives in the market.
More and more users have been affected, and IT practitioners in Xia Guo have lost confidence in carbon crystal hard drives.
Many dealers began to clear their inventory, and what followed was another price increase for mechanical hard drives.
Director Yu threw the teacup on the ground angrily, and yelled: "American companies are just bullying people! Isn't it amazing how well the technology and rules are formulated? Isn't it just a broken system!"
"I have given relevant advice a long time ago. We must have an independent system! Now look, here comes the problem!"
"If the other party makes any moves in the background in the future, all our computers and the Internet will be paralyzed!"
Director Yu repeatedly asked the technical staff whether there was any progress, but the technical staff were very anxious and there was no progress.
In Zhongguancun, Yanjing, and Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen City.
Some dealers couldn't bear it anymore, and they took the initiative to contact Changtian Technology, hoping to return the inventory of carbon crystal hard drives in their hands.
Wang Xiang was very worried about this matter.
However, under Chen Xiao's instruction, Wang Xiang agreed to the dealer's return.
In Xia Guo's computer industry, there are senior practitioners who analyzed and pointed out this situation after seeing it.
"Changtian Technology has only two paths to follow. One is to abandon the carbon crystal hard drive business, and the other is to comply with the requirements of the American Semiconductor Association and submit relevant technical information to the association in order to obtain technical lifting."
The practitioner said sadly, "This incident has also served as a wake-up call for our scientific and technological workers in Xia."
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This applies to international relations and to technological wars. Just imagine, if we could produce our own CPUs and motherboards and have our own systems, how could such a thing happen?"
On June 25th, Chen Xiao will have her final exam in two days.
During this period, Changtian Technology encountered the most critical moment since its establishment.
Not a single carbon crystal hard drive produced by Zhou Linghua's factory can be sold.
Shenship is not purchasing any carbon crystal hard drives because the T1 series is unsaleable.
The carbon crystal hard drives in the factory are now piled up there, and Zhou Linghua is a little speechless.
He imagined that after the factory's output increased, more carbon crystal hard drives could be produced and piled in the warehouse.
Now his dream seems to have come true, and the warehouse is indeed filled with carbon crystal hard drives.
Everyone at Changtian Technology, including Shenzhou, is waiting for Chen Xiao's statement.
But Chen Xiao seemed to be relatively calm and did not appear panicked because of this incident.
Chen Xiao is also in the company every day, busy with something in the office, and no one dares to disturb him.
On this day, Wang Xiang brought what seemed to be good "good news".
Wang Xiang and Zhou Linghua came to Chen Xiao's office.
Wang Xiang said: "Mr. Chen, an intermediary found me and said that there is a company in the United States that is willing to pay a huge amount of money to acquire all the technology of carbon crystal hard drives. This is the plan they handed over."
