I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 310 Operating System Annual Conference
That's what his reason told him, but Ji Guanglan still curiously studied Qin Ke's more than a dozen technical questions in person, each question was deeper than the last, and Qin Ke answered all of them fluently.

Ji Guanglan finally had to give in. This kid's computer knowledge really seems to have thoroughly understood dozens of professional textbooks related to operating system development. At least the graduate students he brought may not be as good as Qin Ke.

Shi Cunyuan next to him was a little numb to the genius of his disciple. He sat beside him and drank tea slowly, just listening, neither interfering nor interjecting.

Several graduate students present looked confused, and after a while, a graduate student asked his companion: "If I remember correctly, Junior Brother Qin seems to have published a computer-related academic paper in a core journal a while ago, right? "

The graduate student who brought tea to Qin Ke first said with a look of "you just remembered": "Yes, otherwise why would I call him God Qin? He is not only good at mathematics, but also published five papers on computer science at one time." In terms of papers, the third-ranked computer academic journal in the country only published his five papers, which is equivalent to making a personal academic special issue. I say you, spend more time on the Internet when you have time, and keep up with the latest academic trends all day long. I don't understand..."

The rest of the graduate students: "..."

How do you feel that your student life has been lived on dogs?

Ji Guanglan over there had finished studying Qin Ke, and he felt better. The more he looked at Qin Ke, the more he admired him, and suddenly said: "Xiao Qin, there will be a week-long 'Xiaguo Intelligent Terminal Operating System Industry Promotion Association Annual Conference' starting tomorrow." , basically domestic operating system manufacturers, experts and professors from all over the country will gather in Beijing to participate in this conference."

"I also have an invitation letter in my hand, and I can bring two graduate students to the meeting. With your academic capital of publishing five papers in core journals, you are fully qualified to attend the meeting. If you are free, come with me Experienced? All board and lodging is included, and you don’t have to worry about air tickets.”

Ji Guanglan very much hoped that this young man who is very talented in computers can go to the top computer conference in Xia Kingdom with him. This will greatly expand the vision of this young man, and even accumulate some contacts in the industry for this young man.

——He really appreciates this talented boy.

Qin Ke pondered: "Professor Ji, is it a seven-day meeting?"

"Yes, every day there will be operating system experts or technical directors of manufacturers who develop the system to come to the stage to explain their latest research results. This is a rare opportunity. You can also get to know the big names in many industries."

Qin Ke remembered that he would receive the high-end server he bought tomorrow, and then modify and optimize the Lime operating system. He really couldn't spare the seven days.

His plan is to launch the new modular operating system written by himself and Ning Qingyun on New Year's Day next year, and then return to guiding Ning Qingyun in the next three international competitions.

After all, he was going to participate in the International Chemistry Olympiad in mid-January, and Qin Ke didn't want to affect Ning Qingyun's gold medal runner-up in IChO because of the operating system.

So he could only politely refuse: "Thank you very much for Professor Ji's invitation, but I have other things to do next..."

Shi Cunyuan said: "Qin Ke still has mathematics topics to study, and he will participate in IChO next month. Lao Ji, I thank you for Qin Ke's kindness, but he may really not be able to spare the time."

Shi Cunyuan also recognized Qin Ke's talent in computers, but he is a professor of mathematics after all, and he still hopes that Qin Ke will spend more time on mathematics. If a talented student can prove the Riemann Hypothesis, it will be a great academic that shakes the world The achievement can even bring Xia Guo's mathematics back to the forefront of the world in one fell swoop--As for the operating system paper written by Qin Ke, Qin Ke himself said that it is just to relieve boredom after studying, there is no need to invest too much time.

Apart from Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke, no one else knew about Qin Ke's development of the operating system, so it's not surprising that Shi Cunyuan had such an idea.

Ji Guanglan's face was full of regret, but he still respected Qin Ke's own choice. Before leaving, he encouraged Qin Ke to study computer knowledge, especially operating system knowledge, if he had spare time in college.If you write any new papers, you must inform him as soon as possible.

The next day, Ji Guanglan flew to the capital with two graduate students he was more optimistic about, to attend the annual conference of the Xiaguo Intelligent Terminal Operating System Industry Promotion Association.

……

The Xiaguo Intelligent Terminal Operating System Industry Promotion Association is the largest IT organization in Xiaguo, which is led by the government and composed of major private operating system development companies, software industry associations, trusted computing alliances, and TD industry alliances. industry alliance.

It was established with only one goal: to solve the problem that Xia Guo has been controlled by others for a long time in this key core technology of the operating system.

To this end, the Xiaguo Intelligent Terminal Operating System Industry Promotion Association has been committed to integrating resources from all walks of life, encouraging independent innovation, promoting technological innovation, and promoting the research and development, promotion and application of domestic intelligent terminal operating systems, etc.

The annual general meeting at the end of each year is a summary of the work of the year and an outlook on the work for the coming year.

For technicians, it is a good opportunity to learn and observe, because the top computer talents in China basically gather here.

For manufacturers, this is the best publicity occasion to promote their own operating systems, increase their popularity, and get orders, because there are many political and business leaders attending the event.

As an authoritative expert in security systems, Ji Guanglan was invited as a matter of course since security is often closely related to the operating system. He still has 15 minutes to speak on stage to present his research results in security.

However, this year's annual meeting seemed to be different from the previous ones. Ji Guanglan noticed that Yan Weizhou, the new chairman of the federation, looked surprisingly serious, and his tone of voice when he gave the opening speech of the meeting was even more depressing.

Yan Weizhou's speech was completely different from the long-winded speech of Chairman Pang who resigned last year. His speech was ridiculously short, and it was only 5 minutes.

Moreover, he did not review the work achievements of the past year, but only talked about the international operating system trends, including that MS has terminated the technical support for WIN7, and WIN10 will transmit a large amount of information to MS by default without the user's knowledge. User data, after the release of the Android Kernel GKI architecture, Google only allows manufacturers to view the code, and does not allow any core content changes. Even many components can only use the binary image released by Google, otherwise they will not provide technical support, etc... …

None of this is news, and everyone present has basically heard about it, and they have long since gotten used to it numbly.

Especially the major mobile phone manufacturers, basically carry out secondary development based on the core foundation of Android. Google is the boss, and obedience is a must. Otherwise, if you look at the petals, you will be cut off from technical support and you can only develop your own HMOS. up.

But how much research investment does it take to create an operating system from scratch?Moreover, this requires technological accumulation. If you invest one billion or eight hundred million, there will be no splashes. Even if you invest billions a year, you may not be able to produce results in ten years.

It took ten years for a big factory like Petal to produce an HMOS, and it is also in a difficult stage. What can these manufacturers do?
Everyone looked at the newly appointed President Yan on the stage with some doubts. They wondered what his intention was to "bring back old news" to emphasize the "technical bottleneck"?
But isn't it time to vigorously promote domestic operating systems?It's just that the popular acceptance is a bit low, and the market share is small. Everyone is also working hard to publicize and promote it.

In particular, everyone's domestic PC operating systems are deeply developed based on open source linux. The code is safe and controllable, and it is barely OK to use. The progress can be regarded as smooth, right?
Yan Weizhou looked around at the crowd and suppressed his emotions: "I hope that in the next conference, we can see domestic operating systems with sufficient innovation and highlights. Let's start the next process."

Soon the host came to the stage, and according to the meeting procedure, the experts in technology shared some of the latest technical research results, and Ji Guanglan was among them.

Then on the third day, manufacturers of major domestic operating systems appeared on stage.

Manufacturers either emphasize safety and controllability, or emphasize the gorgeous interface, or emphasize that they have a certain scale of software mall...

The audience burst into applause, but Ji Guanglan noticed that Yan Weizhou, who was sitting in the first row, had a very ugly face when he got up and left the table to go to the bathroom and came back.

Finally, on the fifth day of the manufacturer's presentation, Yan Weizhou interrupted the flow of the meeting, stood on the stage again, took the microphone, and looked around the nearly [-] people present: "I just want to ask, are there any Linux-based secondary solutions present?" Developed operating system?"

A small manufacturer raised his hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in Yan Weizhou's eyes.

But the small manufacturer said: "We have carried out subversive innovations and transformations on the Android system, so that it can be applied to ordinary desktop computers..." His voice became smaller and smaller under Yan Weizhou's icy cold gaze, and finally shrunk. into a ball.

Many people present wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

In fact, the operating system manufacturers present, whether it is a PC platform or a mobile phone platform, even if they are hype, the core is the same-based on the open source Linux kernel.

The difference is that mobile phones basically use Android, while desktop computers and servers mainly use the core version released by Linus Torvalds, the father of linux, or choose from mainstream foreign distributions such as Ubuntu linux and Arch linux. One for secondary development.

"Could it be that for so many years, except for petals, none of you have developed an operating system that is completely independent and controllable with your own intellectual property rights?"

All the manufacturers were silent.

Of course, the desire to develop a fully independent and controllable operating system with its own intellectual property rights from scratch is good. Everyone has thought about it, but it is too difficult. Let alone whether there are so many R&D funds, even if there is, Investing tens of billions to create a brand new operating system does not necessarily guarantee that it will be accepted by the market.

If the market doesn't accept it, wouldn't the time and money spent on it be wasted?
Besides, everyone is talking about business, no one will look far away, give up the relatively mature free and open source linux, and choose to study the operating system from scratch, let’s not talk about technology, just don’t have a new architecture concept, how to develop ?
