Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 344 "Courtesy of China and Favoring Foreigners"

Bill Gates and Edgar Bell never imagined that a Baidu map would cause Microsoft's stock price to plummet.

"What's going on with this Baidu map?" Bill Gates asked.

The secretary replied: "Baidu Map is a map software developed based on the Beidou Satellite Navigation System. In addition to basic map navigation functions, users can also view satellite maps in real time through Baidu Maps, and even view high-precision 3D real-life street views. The pictures are like black technology and have caused shock around the world!”

……

……

Not long ago, Baidu press conference was held.

Zeng Xingyuan, CEO of Baidu Maps, glanced at the reporters in the audience and was extremely excited. He took a deep breath and walked slowly to the stage.

"Hello everyone, welcome to Baidu's product launch conference!"

"I am Zeng Xingyuan, the CEO of Baidu Maps, a subsidiary of Baidu Group!"

"That's right! The product our Baidu Group is going to release today is Baidu Maps!!!"

After Zeng Xingyuan finished speaking, the reporters in the audience were slightly surprised.

“Is Baidu Maps Baidu’s weapon to fight back against Microsoft’s Bing!??”

Everyone was surprised.

Zeng Xingyuan then continued: "Baidu Maps is a map software developed based on my country's Beidou satellite navigation system. It can not only be used for car and ship navigation, but also has the function of searching for 3D real-life street views!"

“Next we will play a video to demonstrate to everyone!”

After saying that, Zeng Xingyuan pressed the operator in his hand, and the big screen behind him began to play the video.

The video successively shows many usage scenarios of Baidu Maps, focusing on car navigation and mobile phone navigation...

Finally, and the most awesome thing is coming - 3D real-life street view!

The reporters immediately saw that they opened Baidu Maps online and then clicked on the 3D real-life function to search for Lujiazui, Shanghai. After a while, the audience burst into deafening screams!

"Oh! God! This is incredible!!! Baidu Maps has really searched for the street view of Lujiazui, and the pictures are so high-definition, as if they were taken with the most advanced camera! What's even more exaggerated is that it can be controlled by the mouse , zoom in or rotate, and view the panorama 360 degrees, this is outrageous, just like black technology!!!" A foreign media reporter marveled, with an exaggerated expression, obviously he couldn't believe that Baidu had this kind of technology.

"Yeah, I think it's the same as black technology. It's really amazing. I can't wait to use this black technology function of Baidu Maps!"

"..."

Voyeurism is the nature of many people, and many people can't help but think of using Baidu Maps to view street views.

However, in fact, they thought too much. These high-definition street views are just data captured by high-precision map collection vehicles.

What outsiders see as black technology is actually created through a large amount of data.

However, it is shocking enough. At least when people want to know the specific panorama of a certain location, they can search and view it through Baidu Maps.

The press conference ended quickly, but the impact was not small.

As soon as the Baidu map function was launched, it immediately attracted heated discussions across the Internet, and quickly entered the top search list on Weibo, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Bill Gates immediately opened the laptop on his desk, searched for "Baidu Map" directly on the browser, and then clicked to enter the official website of "Baidu Map".

Immediately, an electronic map appeared on the interface.

Bill Gates studied it and couldn't help but secretly praise it.The interface is simple, with a search box in the upper left corner for searching locations, buses, and routes, with complete functions.

In the lower right corner there is a "3D Panorama" icon.

"This '3D panorama' is what everyone calls black technology..." Bill Gates murmured, curious and eagerly clicking.

Then he searched for New York in the search box...

Unfortunately, this prompts that there is no panoramic view of New York, and currently only panoramic views of China are supported.

When Bill Gates saw this, he thought for a while and entered Lujiazui, Shanghai.

Lujiazui has become one of the most famous places in the world. More than half of the top ten tallest buildings in the world are located in Lujiazui. In addition, there are many strange and ingenious buildings and a large number of scientific research buildings full of science and technology, which make many foreigners think of Lujiazui. China thinks of Lujiazui.

Bill Gates also wants to see what Lujiazui looks like under the 3D panoramic view of Baidu Map.

Soon, Bill Gates was shocked.

Under the 3D panorama of Baidu Maps, users feel as if they are on the street. Press the left and right keys to rotate the direction 360 degrees, and press the up and down keys to move forward or backward with the camera.

"The 3D panorama of Baidu Maps is really amazing! Compared with it, the electronic maps on the market are not at the same level!" At this moment, Bill Gates couldn't help but worry about Bing.

In fact, the actual use of Baidu Maps is not very helpful to search engines, because online users do not often use the map search function. However, the 3D panoramic technology of Baidu Maps gives people a sense of black technology, which adds to the Baidu search engine. Too many points.

Baidu Maps is so good, can Baidu Search Engine be inferior?

Baidu is a company that truly values ​​technological innovation!
To change human society, we have to rely on Baidu~
What is Bing and can it be compared with Baidu?

In fact, it is exactly what Bill Gates guessed.

After Baidu Map went online, it immediately shocked netizens and called it "black technology". The impression of Baidu search engine among people also increased.

Everyone can't help but subconsciously think that the technology of Baidu search engine is higher than that of Bing search engine.

"Hey, why don't we have high-tech companies like Baidu in our country? Look at the Bing engine launched by Microsoft. It's nothing more than that. It's just copying Baidu!" an American college student from Harvard University said with envy, and at the same time he was very disdainful of the United States. What technology companies do.

"Forget it, they really don't live up to expectations. No wonder the gap between our technological level in the United States and China has become wider and wider!"

"Recently, the United States is trying to find trouble with Baidu, not just to make way for Bing. If it cannot compete with the other party technically, it will suppress it politically. As an American, I feel shameful! Anyway, no matter what other people choose, I still like it. Using Baidu is not only a habit, but also because it is always at the forefront of technology!"

"Technology changes the world! Deliberately suppressing technology companies actually goes against the law of human development!"

"..."

The high-tech attributes of Baidu Maps directly caused a group of Americans to express their support for Baidu search engine online.

The confused U.S. government looked confused and strongly condemned the remarks of these unpatriotic Americans. These idiots must have read stupidly. How can American technology companies rise if they don't suppress Chinese technology companies?When will America recover again?
Seeing the comments from foreign netizens, everyone on the Internet in China was extremely happy.

"Mad, I'm so excited! Look at what the Americans have to say, they are already envious of us!"

"Haha, I feel like now it's Americans' turn to start admiring foreign things!!!"

"Haha, that's true, but I think it would be better to replace the 'foreign' in 'worshiping foreigners and favoring foreigners' with 'hua'. I admire us China!!!"

"..."

For a time, national pride and self-confidence were greatly enhanced...
