Chapter 364 The information framework is initially determined, and Germination will fully enter the consumer electronics market?!
The big event Zhang Shuo mentioned refers to the regular strategic meeting and annual summary meeting of the Germination Group.
But before that.
Zhang Shuo, accompanied by Gu Mingzhang, first went to Xirang Technology and participated in a technical seminar.
After half a month of preparations, the management and most of the employees of Xirang Technology are already in place. Under the recommendation of Moya, Xue Tao, the vice president of software of Maili Group, also serves as the CEO of Xirang Technology.
corresponding.
The candidate for CTO of Xirang Technology was recommended by Warwick.
As a company purely focused on research and development, it is difficult to say which of the two positions of CEO and CTO is more important. In fact, it is a kind of balance.
This is the situation that the Union must face.
Also on the recommendation of Meiya, Xirang Technology's office location was chosen in a 12-story office building that has been completed and delivered in Meiya Industrial Park.
It can be said to be full of cards.
The purpose of Xilang Technology’s first technical seminar is self-explanatory, which is to discuss development, determine the overall research and development framework of Xilang operating system, and determine the direction of research and development.
Because it was not a direct subsidiary of the company, Zhang Shuo didn't say much during the whole process.
In fact, what he wanted to express and all his expectations for the Xirang operating system had been fully communicated with Xue Tao before.
It's like speaking through Xue Tao's mouth.
As mentioned before, if Xirang operating system wants to surpass Android and IOS, it must stand at a new starting point and adapt to the new era and the development of new technologies.
This may be a bit too general.
Before doing this, it is necessary to understand some basic knowledge about mobile phone operating systems.
We often encounter people saying - "The phone memory is not enough, so I need to delete the original photos."
However, this "memory" is not that "memory".
The "memory" in the above sentence is just the Chinese abbreviation of built-in memory. It is a beautiful coincidence. It is functionally equivalent to the hard disk space in the computer. It is also generally called body memory or ROM.
It can save data for a long time, even if the power is cut off, the data will still be retained after restarting.
The real "memory", which is equivalent to a computer memory stick, is generally called running memory or RAM.
But RAM cannot store data for a long time. Once the power is cut off, the data on it will disappear immediately.
The operating system is also software, and it also occupies ROM and RAM, and the ROM and RAM occupied will only increase, not decrease.
The IOS system size is about 5-10G.
If you buy a mobile phone with 64GB of storage space, excluding the space occupied by the operating system, you will actually only have more than 50GB of storage space to store your photos, music and apps.
The situation with Android phones is pretty much the same.
Early Android was like a sloppy office worker. The drafts at work and the leftover takeaway boxes (junk files, cache) were piled on the desktop. When he needed to do something, he had to clean it up in a hurry.
desktop, wasting a lot of time.
IOS, on the other hand, is like a fastidious person. After eating the takeaway, you will definitely throw the box into the trash can (automatically clear cache and junk files) to avoid taking up desktop space.
This is why early Android started to lag like crazy after using it for half a year.
However, today's Android is also very particular, and it can also clean up things after eating (clean up junk files), and the processing speed is already comparable to that of IOS.
But whether it is a "not fastidious" Android or a "fastidious" Pingguo, there will be some things on their desktop (RAM) that will never move (the "basic functions" of the operating system).
And these things will also occupy a certain amount of desktop space.
This way of putting all the important things on your desk is the so-called "macro kernel" - in the macro kernel operating system, important basic functions are grouped together.
The advantage of this is that you can reach out and grab whatever you want, and the call speed is very fast.
The disadvantage is that if one thing fails, other things will suffer - just like the water glass on your desk falls over, your computer and important files may get wet.
Xirang is completely different from them, because Xirang is a microkernel operating system.
If IOS is a more particular and normal person, then Xirang will be a super perfectionist clean freak - he is only allowed to have a laptop no larger than 13 inches on his desktop.
Contrary to the macro kernel, the kernel of the microkernel system is very simple. It only retains the most basic functions, and all other functions are scattered and can be started when they need to be called.
Therefore, microkernel operating systems only occupy a very small amount of RAM.
For many mobile phones, the RAM indicated as 6G is actually only 3G because it uses a macro-kernel operating system. But if it is a micro-kernel system, the available RAM will be around 5.5G.
For the same rated RAM, the microkernel can retain more free space.
It can also save more computing power.
Theoretically speaking, regardless of the lens, appearance and screen resolution, microkernels can achieve a more advanced experience with relatively low-end configurations.
But surprisingly, in real applications, the efficiency of microkernel systems is often lower than that of macrokernels.
Figuratively speaking——
The macro kernel can finish eating at the desk, and can pick up the computer and continue working after losing the lunch box, but the micro kernel only keeps the computer on the desk, and has to go to the cafeteria downstairs to eat, and can only come up to work after eating.
This is one of the major drawbacks of microkernels——
The application and the kernel are in isolation, and communication between different modules requires the kernel to "bridge".
The specific performance is——
The macro kernel starts in a flash, but the micro kernel is always half a beat slower.
This shortcoming is also one of the big troubles that the Xirang team needs to solve in the next two or three years. By optimizing the communication protocol and other operations, Xirang can become a germophile with the ability of the Flash.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And this is exactly what Warwick is best at.
This is why Zhang Shuo insists on cooperating with Warwick no matter what.
Although there is a distance between the kernel and the application, as long as the application is called fast enough, the application will still not be stuck - when combined with 5G, the delay problem can be further reduced.
"Connecting all possibilities" is Zhang Shuo's expectation for the Xiyang system.
Behind this expectation is his ambition——
Any place where a system can be installed will be installed with the Xinang system;
All devices equipped with the information system will be connected to each other.
This is the future picture brought about by microkernel, modular, and distributed architecture - mobile phones and computers can freely mobilize each other's resources, and cameras, keyboards, desktops, screens, sound systems, etc. have become modules.
The days of using a mouse and keyboard to play mobile games are not far away.
If the information soil system is successfully implemented, then life in the future will be full of various "science fiction scenarios".
The smart mirror equipped with the Xinlan system is connected to the mobile phone. When brushing your teeth in the morning, you can browse the news of the day on the mirror.
If you need to write a report on the high-speed rail but your computer does not have an Internet connection, you can connect your phone to the computer, and the computer will directly call the phone's browser, Weixin and other apps.
If you need to participate in a video conference, you can directly connect your mobile phone to the TV, and the mobile phone can use the TV's screen, audio and camera.
"For Xirang, the mobile phone is really just a platform."
Xue Tao's speech was resounding, "Xirang, what matters is the overall situation!"
"Bah bang bang!!!"
Warm applause erupted in the conference room. Except for Zhang Shuo, everyone present was a master of technology. It was easy to smell the wonderful future prospects of Xue Tao from Xue Tao's speech, and they were all excited.
"Kill Android and Xirang will be king!"
"Xirang is what I imagine the operating system of the next era should be like!"
"This is overtaking on a curve, this is overtaking on a curve!!"
“Cow beep!!”
"My blood is boiling. What should I do? What should I do?"
Some impatient ones are already discussing the technical details.
There were some Warwick employees who complained a lot because Xirang Technology made it clear that it would not engage in employee stock ownership, and were even reluctant to be transferred.
Now I am full of fighting spirit.
Before the meeting ended, Zhang Shuo had to say a few words under Xue Tao's repeated invitation.
He looked around first.
Everyone present, whether they were former Maili or Warwick employees, subconsciously lowered their heads slightly when they met Zhang Shuo's gaze. After all, what stood in front of them was a living legend.
"After so many years of development in the IT industry, the future development direction has become increasingly clear."
Zhang Shuo's voice was as gentle as ever.
“People’s imagination of life is defined by technology, but their imagination of technology is defined by people.”
As soon as these words came out, some people were already clenching their fists.
There is no doubt that they will be the definers of the soil system.
"Xue Tao and his team sacrificed a lot of hair and used the foundation of just a concept to define a vague image of the next-generation operating system technology."
"Hahaha!!"
Most of the people present were programmers, and they all smiled knowingly when they heard this.
"What I hope is that with the establishment of Xirang Technology, it will gradually become formal. With the blessing of a new and more powerful team, as Xirang is getting closer to perfection step by step, this image will become clearer and more tangible.
It is accessible, and people’s imagination of future life will become closer and closer to reality.”
Everyone holds their breath.
"Brother Gu, Pingguo has defined this era with Android and IOS, and we, including everyone here, will exhaust our imaginations to define an operating system that does not belong to this era."
"And after the advent of Xirang, more people will be asked to use Xirang to define the future era."
"A dazzling era unique to China!"
"good!!!"
As soon as Zhang Shuo finished speaking, the conference room once again recalled the warm applause, and everyone was delighted to define a new era and put China at the center of the global stage.
It’s exciting just thinking about it!
With Zhang Shuo's speech, this technical seminar came to a successful end.
………
On the way back, even Gu Mingzhang could not control himself and said with a smile: "Chairman, your speech just now has almost established the corporate vision and corporate culture of Xilang Technology."
Gu Mingzhang was previously worried that Xirang Technology would fall into internal strife.
Now I feel confident.
With such a clear and ambitious goal, those who pursue it should put aside their prejudices, unite as one, and turn the blueprint drawn by Zhang Shuo into reality.
Then.
They will be forever engraved in the book of historical achievements.
What an honor is this?
"I just drew a big pie. Whether it can be realized and when it will be realized are still unknown." Zhang Shuo himself is not very optimistic.
Original time and space.
The time for Hongmeng to appear was already too early, but Xirang still had to be born before Hongmeng.
This is destined to be a big test.
"I believe it can be done. With Mai Li, Warwick's technology accumulation, sufficient R&D funds, and your leadership as Chairman, there is no reason why it can't succeed." Gu Mingzhang is still full of confidence.
Because this is how Mai Li X1 achieved success.
"lets change a topic."
Zhang Shuo didn't want to talk more about the topic of retreat, and instead said: "You should also realize that with the advent of the Xiang system in the future, it would be too wasteful if we only deal with mobile phones."
"what do you mean?"
Gu Mingzhang's eyes flashed, thoughtfully.
"In addition to mobile phones, laptops, tablets, smart watches, smart speakers, etc., we can do everything that can be connected to the Xinlan system."
Zhang Shuo is extremely ambitious.
"Maili Group wants to benchmark Pingguo, so it cannot fall behind in its product line. Whether it is laptops or tablets, it can put aside the shackles of Weiruan and start a new business."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is no reason why Pingguo should be more beautiful than before.
To be honest, the biggest black technology of Pingguo's desktop and laptop computers lies in their closed operating system and amazing industrial design.
In addition, Pingguo actually does not master many core technologies.
But it was sold at a very high price and made a lot of money.
Zhang Shuo is so greedy!
Compared with Pingguo, Maili Group holds Xirang Technology in one hand and Zhulong Technology in the other, as well as the big tree of Germination Group as its backer, so it is fully capable of harvesting.
Even if you can't surpass Pingguo in a short time, you can still get a share of it.
"A big reason why Maili Group was able to successfully build Maili X1 is that it bought a complete set of patented mobile phone technologies from Nokia. In terms of laptop computers, it still has zero foundation."
Gu Mingzhang expressed his worries.
"Does it mean that we also need to use acquisitions to quickly complete the initial accumulation in the early stage?"
"How to do it specifically, you first come up with a charter, and then we will discuss it in detail." Zhang Shuo only put forward an idea and did not have any more specific suggestions.
He is not God.
"clear!"
Gu Mingzhang also reacted quickly and said with a smile: "I will complete the preliminary research work as soon as possible, issue a detailed feasibility analysis report, and report to you then."
"now it's right!"
Zhang Shuo smiled, but a trace of worry flashed deep in his eyes.
He was not worried that Gu Mingzhang would not be able to do this, but that Maili Group would compete more head-on with Warwick in the consumer electronics business in the future.
After all, both sides rely heavily on the Xinluo system.
Once there is competition, it seems inevitable that conflicts will break out between them.
