My Return to Life

August 8th, Sunday.

In the Chinese cultural circle, the number 8 always has a beautiful meaning.

Choosing 8.8 to officially launch the highly expected "Nuwa" smartphone operating system on this day is also based on this beautiful meaning.

And just right, today is Sunday.

In contrast, most people will have a certain amount of time to toss about their smartphones.

because……

People with smart phones have some trendy ideas.

We must know that there are very few options in the domestic smartphone market.

First of all, it excludes iPhone4 users who want to completely open the era of smart phones.

Because this phone has not yet been sold in China, and the price is not low.

There are even fewer options left.

As early as the beginning of the "Nuwa" project, Xiaomi has determined the main support model, namely the model under the htc.

It is equivalent to reducing the audience in circles before the official launch.

It can be said that it is not conducive to development.

But this is no alternative.

Xiaomi has limited energy.

This is the reason why Lei Jun is so firm in proposing Fang Nian to be the speaker of the'Nuwa' alliance.

He just wanted to use Fang Nian's strength to develop and grow'Nuwa'.

However, cooperation has its own interests in this kind of thing, and for the time being, it is impossible to talk about who pits who.

From a long-term perspective, Fang Nian clearly knew that he had got a golden rooster.

The possibility of playing waste is relatively small.

It is nothing more than whether the frontier can resist the huge investment and the foreseeable big loss in the early stage...

...Ten o'clock in the morning.

At the frontier Nuwa System Laboratory, hundreds of people perform their duties and are so busy flying.

Lin Bing also came to the laboratory ahead of time and sat in the whole process.

The handover only started yesterday. Strictly speaking, it is not Xiaomi assisting the frontier now, but the frontier needs the cooperation of Xiaomi.

Later, Fang Nian also came to the laboratory.

He pulled a chair and sat next to Lin Bing, smiling and saying, "Bin always worked hard."

"No, no." Lin Bing smiled slightly, "Why is President Fang also here."

Fang Nian replied: "Just look at it, how is the situation?"

Lin Bing sorted out a bit, and said simply: "The initial handover efficiency is quite high. At present, the domain name has been redirected to the address on the laboratory side, and the resources on the server have also been moved to the server on the laboratory side."

After a short pause, Lin Bing smiled: "Speaking of which, there is an extra layer of protection compared to the official launch of Xiaomi."

"If the link on the laboratory side or other failures occur, you can switch to Xiaomi at any time, because it is temporarily a remote disaster recovery architecture."

Hearing this, Fang Nian said in a casual tone: "Is it right that a small site like the Nuwa Forum does not need to consider disaster recovery architecture?"

"Yes, because the site usually has a small amount of visits and the data real-time requirements are extremely low, there is no need to waste resources." Lin Bing nodded and answered.

"..."

Talking with each other.

It was lunch time in a flash.

At the time when it was about to go online, everyone was not thinking about eating and drinking, that is, having a business meal.

Although to the outside world at present, "Nu Wa" is not worth mentioning at all.

Not much advertising resources have been arranged yet.

It is even predictable that there will be no audience.

But this is after all the ‘core’ valued at 200 million US dollars.

Lin Bing and Fang Nian would take it for granted.

As for not being fully committed in the past few days, it is also very simple. Xiaomi has already made all the preparations for the official launch.

Fang Nian always likes to prepare more.

If Xiaomi is not ready, Fang Nian will not take over.

This was also because Lei Jun didn't call to urge him, but he was worried, so Lin Bing suddenly came to Shencheng.

…………

After lunch, Guan Qiuhe, Lu Weiyu, Wen Ye, Lin Bing, Guan Yingzhi and others entered their respective roles.

An online preview has been launched on nuwa.

Including the Jifeng Forum and other places, a small amount of worthless advertisements were also placed.

Some active smartphone enthusiasts have already paid attention to this information.

You can even see several related discussion posts.

"Nuwa Forum has launched a preview of important content. Does anyone know what it is?"

"After three or four months, the Nüwa forum released new news. It is likely that the previous ROM called'Nuwa' will be officially launched."①

"It's really impossible."

"Unfortunately, I failed to catch up with the first batch of 123 volunteers, so I didn't go to play later."

"After all, it is a domestic ROM. It is said that it does not support the installation of apk software. If it is not a volunteer, it is difficult to do it, and it is difficult to get effective guidance in the forum."

"Yes, this kind of new bag is very risky, and it will become bricks if you are not careful."

"I thought'Nuwa' was no longer operating, but I didn't expect it to come out again."

"Speaking of'Nuwa', it's pretty easy to use. It's better than Android or even Apple. It's smooth. I don't know why I didn't do it."

"..."

Now whether in China or internationally, the application ecosystem is far from perfect.

Although both the Android and Apple communities claim to have hundreds of thousands of applications, most of them are repetitive and invalid applications, and most of them are works of interest.

For many people, the mobile phone only needs to have:

The functions of browsing the web, chatting on QQ, calling, texting, taking pictures, and playing Tetris games are enough.

At most, I want to have a long standby.

At least the domestic market environment is still like this.

After all, now is exactly the time when copycat machines are rampant.

There are few smartphone choices, and the price starts from three to five thousand, which is not the most mainstream choice.

So, in such a period.

Introducing a ROM, whether it is an Android-based UI or a self-developed system, there are enthusiasts willing to try it.

Because the convenience that can be experienced after the application ecology is perfect is far from popular.

Even if Apple’s AppStore ecosystem based on iOS, entering the country will be replaced by two words——

prison Break.

Don’t have too many Apple jailbreak lights that can be seen everywhere in the streets.

This phenomenon will not gradually decrease until at least after 2012...

At 1 nod, Lin Bing spoke again.

"Do another flash test from the beginning."

"Check the network communication again."

"Check the forum backstage again..."

"..."

The employees of Xiaomi and the laboratory are doing the final verification work in an orderly manner.

Even if this is the third time today.

But no one complained.

It is the basic process to eliminate all possible unexpected situations before going online.

It's better than rushing into all kinds of accidents after going online.

Except for Lin Bing, even Lu Weiyu was busy.

Only Fang Nian looked left and right, and found that he didn't need to do anything.

You don't even need to say anything.

He was so happy that he muttered in his heart: "It's great!"

…………

…………

At 14:08 on August 8, 2010.

The ‘Nüwa’ smartphone operating system was officially launched on the Nüwa Forum.

There is no overwhelming propaganda, low-key and calm online.

It's just that the system is fully targeted at the user level, without any interface documentation.

Including the time when Fang Nian Xiaozui wiped his honey, Xiaomi actually did not officially launch the official documentation.

However, nothing has been improved in the past few months, let alone nothing has been done.

But at yesterday's meeting, the engineers of the laboratory and the Xiaomi side finally unanimously decided to postpone the official documentation.

The important reason is...

The most powerful engineer of Xiaomi Fang recognized the leader of the stable version of the laboratory team.

It is said that the team leader taught him computer systems.

Is a well-known big cow.

Even Lin Bing knew this person.

His name is Wu Sanshi.

But Fang Nian didn't have any impression of this name, whether it was in this life or in the previous life.

Even in his previous life, he spent many years in the code farming industry.

Maybe this means that the times will always bury some talents.

After all, from the beginning of the century to the present and the future, fewer and fewer people are interested in developing operating systems.

The Wu Sanshi group leader believes that now that the development team is expanded and there is more support from the research team of domestic universities, it is completely possible to wait for a thorough understanding of the system core and brainstorming before making a decision.

After all, it is very likely that the existing kernel framework will be adjusted to achieve better compatibility and scalability.

It may even re-determine the application framework development language.

As for the documentation, the number of people is great, and adjustments are not difficult.

Fang Nian also agrees with a sentence of Wu Sanshi's view:

The core kernel should be as streamlined and efficient as possible, and it is best to reach the point where Linux is less than ten thousand lines.

Quite pragmatic, I didn’t say such a word beyond...

…………

Over time, the officially launched "Nu Wa" began to be downloaded by users.

The speed is always tepid.

1, 3, 6, 11...

Fang Nian didn't feel anything special.

At least at this growth rate, it is easy to break through 123 times.

And as long as someone goes to the forum to promote, the original 123 users should soon participate again.

after all……

A long time ago, Fang Nian told Lei Jun that the forum ID of these 123 volunteer users was displayed on the animation of the boot page after the successful flashing.

As an interactive return.

This is an effective program.

At 14:21, the number of downloads suddenly increased.

In the blink of an eye, it broke through 100 copies, followed by 120 copies, 150 copies...

Discussion posts appeared in the forum.

"Wow, can I say that I was surprised? I read the documentation and said that there was a surprise. I didn't think it had anything to do with me. I didn't want to see my ID right after I turned it on. Thank you!"

"I think I have become a loyal user of this ROM."

"..."

"This ROM has better fluency than before, and the experience is much better."

"I still encountered a bug accidentally, but it did not cause the machine to crash. If you press the dial pad madly and then dial out, it will cause severe freezes and the call function will automatically exit..."

"..."

"I am quite concerned about one of the description documents: According to user feedback, the version is updated every Sunday. Is it true?"

"Updated every week, I look forward to it!"

"Any questions can be asked, I want to play a small game."

"I am a little looking forward to the subsequent development version."

"..."

Although the forum seems to be hot, in fact, the total number of users of the official version of "Nu Wa" has just exceeded 200 people.

It's just because some excited enthusiasts made a lot of posts in one go.

What made all the engineers present at Xiaomi+Lab ashamed was that the first bug came so fast!

Just pressing the dial pad madly will cause the call function to crash and exit.

It was slapped on the spot.

The handover process was officially launched yesterday. After seeing such a scene, the R&D personnel on both sides did not let anyone say, they quickly returned to their workstations, and crackled on the keyboard.

Fang Nian didn't know if they were eager to fix the bug or did something.

It's good to perform their duties anyway.

The laboratory needs this kind of atmosphere.

Proactive, diligent and practical, cutting-edge and advanced.

…………

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the number of users of the official version of the'Nuwa' system exceeded 300.

It is almost the expected value, which is a bit cold.

Because there will be no new marketing or advertising, the next step is all research and development work.

Fang Nian left the laboratory with Lin Bing.

A few simple greetings.

Lin Bing smiled and said: "President Fang, I have to rush back to attend the company's regular meeting tomorrow, so I'll leave first."

"It's been a hard trip for bin. Xiaomi has been busy recently, so I won't keep you much." Fang Nian smiled, "I will ask the driver to take you to the airport.

Lin Bing expressed his gratitude, but did not reject Fang Nian's kindness.

Before leaving, I sent my blessings: "I wish'Nuwa' will develop better and better under the leadership of the frontier."

"That's natural." Fang Nian said relaxedly.

"..."

Soon after Lin Bing let the driver from Dangkang Games away, Fang Nian got on the Mercedes-Benz G and returned to Junting.

Guan Qiuhe followed closely behind.

Then Wen Ye and Gu Yu.

And Liu Xiren is in Junting.

But this was the last day that Liu Xi helped lead Fang Xin.

Although the business will be more busy in the future, the time will be much more free in Fang Nian.

After all, it does not mean that all specific matters need to go to the scene.

In the past two days, it was a very exception in the laboratory.

It also explains from the side that Fang Nian attaches great importance to the Nuwa System Laboratory...

…………

After arriving at Junting, Fang Nian greeted everyone to enter the spacious study room on the first floor.

Enough to sit down these many people, not crowded.

Fang Nian was sitting behind his desk.

Looking at the full house Yingying Yanyan, a thought suddenly flashed in Fang Nian's mind.

Brother Wu Fucheng can no longer fish so easily, he has to increase the pressure and quickly pull into the frontier system.

Now this is too yin to flourish and yang to decline!

I mumbled in my heart.

"The men who are acquainted with each other are not very good at it, Annan won't talk about it, Zijing, Wang Jun and others are not good, alas..."

"It may be poisonous! I agree that a woman can hold up half of the sky, this is too good!

"Not to mention Liu Xi's irreplaceable'rare', Wen Ye and Gu Yu can't be replaced at all, just a few positions..."

"..."

These thoughts all flashed in Fang Nian's mind.

He cleared his throat and said calmly: "I have been in the laboratory for these two days. The atmosphere is not bad, although it is far from the ideal laboratory."

"Wen Mi did a good job with Kotani."

After a short pause, Fang Nian's conversation changed: "I thought about it and thought that the laboratory and the university project team could try to cooperate in the form of an open source community."

"Because there will always be temporarily useless research, these research laboratories cannot afford to pay;

If it is semi-open source, it can provide these research groups with a large number of subject experiment opportunities, and it can also directly open up the green channel for the students of the research group to the laboratory. "

After Fang Nian's words fell, everyone thought about it.

Wen Ye was the first to speak: "Mr Fang, can we further refine and explore the direction of making better use of the technical reserves accumulated by universities."

"That's what I meant." Fang Nian affirmed.

"According to this direction to determine the cooperation charter, what does Mr. Guan feel?"

Guan Qiuhe thought about it for a while, shook his head and said, "I have no opinion. I will try my best to solve the problems in business negotiations."

Fang Nian glanced at Guan Qiuhe and continued: "The remaining thing is to let Wu Sanshi determine the scope of open source code. You can do it, Xiaogu."

"..."

Fang Nian also mentioned more specific arrangements for the laboratory.

For example, the code is handed over as soon as possible, and the joint efforts can determine whether the kernel framework needs to be modified in the shortest time.

Decide which development language the application framework uses.

Publicize the documentation as soon as possible.

These things are all set quickly.

Lu Weiyu, Wen Ye, and Gu Yu were responsible for implementation.

As the CEO of cutting-edge innovation, Mr. Lu naturally bears the brunt.

And Guan Qiuhe withdrew from the previous leading role and will go to play his best ability: negotiation.

Fang Nian...

Fang Nian wondered if he should enjoy a little bit of married life, right?

…………

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

The total number of users of the official version of the'Nuwa' system exceeded 600.

Judging from the investment of promotion resources, the results are very gratifying.

Because there are not many people who know, there are even fewer serious enthusiasts among those who know.

In the end, there are even fewer people who are willing to toss the phone.

Fang Nian vaguely remembers that Xiaomi also used the same process to promote MIUI step by step, but the growth of the number of users was much slower than it is now.

Therefore, Fang Nian, who was lying on the sofa and swiping his mobile phone, was very pleased to receive such news.

At least as far as he knows, through his own efforts, not only the direction of Xiaomi's efforts has been changed, but a brand new smart phone system called'Nuwa' has also appeared.

And even the ‘Nvwa’ alliance, the cutting-edge Nvwa system laboratory.

Even so, after spending the same amount of time, he developed better under his influence.

This is very happy.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that the current trend of the laboratory to continuously spread its own information will further affect high-level academic talents.

Fundamentally, more relevant practitioners have emerged in China.

Including system developers.

It also includes application developers.

only……

Fang Nian, playing with his mobile phone, soon saw some news on the Weibo platform.

A well-known figure in some domestic fields, Shi Ming, updated his Weibo ~www.ltnovel.com~ Recently, I heard of a big move in the university circle. It is rumored that a company has established a laboratory to develop a smartphone operating system and will invest in one. Billion.

Coincidentally, I saw the system go online in the afternoon. According to public information, the system currently uses less than a thousand users. I really want to know where the 100 million yuan of funds came from and where they were spent. research? "

Fang Nian's happiness came to an abrupt end, like eating a fly.

The appearance of this person reminded Fang Nian of many very bad memories...

①: ROM: Read-only memory. In the period around 2010, flashing was very popular. Generally, flashing packages are called ROM packages, and the system is called ROM directly in most cases.
