Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Hu Weiwu and Kong Jingzhu looked at each other and said, "Godson has made some achievements after two years of commercial development. Up to now, we have cooperated with Sugon to launch the Longteng server based on Godson, which can be said to fill the gap in our domestic market. A blank in the self-service controllable server market.

In addition, we have cooperated with Huawei to develop a network switch based on Godson, which has begun to be sold globally.

In general, there are already more than 50 downstream partners based on Loongson, and the number of R\u0026D personnel based on Loongson should soon break through tens of thousands. The overall independent and controllable industrial ecology around Loongson has a basic prototype. "

"Congratulations, you haven't paid in vain for so many years, so what is the purpose of your search?" Meng Qian was really not sure.

Hu Weiwu's expression became a little excited, "Before meeting with you, I actually went to Huawei and Spreadtrum, Huawei heard that in the 4G era, it was going to make a Kirin chip.

So now in China's entire chip industry, we don't care about a few companies that mainly serve the military industry, Hongmeng, Kirin, Spreadtrum, plus our Godson, we actually already have a foundation for building China's chip ecology.

So at this time we will naturally consider another thing. "

When Hu Weiwu said this, he looked at Kong Jingzhu, and Kong Jingzhu immediately answered, "Mr. Meng of the Galaxy Kylin System should know about it, right?"

"Of course, the domestic system, how could you not know about it?"

"But we didn't do a good job with this project." Kong Jingzhu said with a bitter smile, "The domestic operating system was known as the largest software project since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the country placed high hopes on us.

We had only one idea at the time, and we were determined to build a domestic system.

But when the project started, we realized that the system was not so easy to do. At the beginning, we only had a dozen engineers who could actually go up and take charge of the development. At that time, there was an extremely shortage of domestic talents, unlike now.

Moreover, it was an era of system explosion at that time. Berkeley University's FreeBSD, IBM's AIX, and Sun's solaris all competed with Windows in the market.

In terms of the kernel, Mach was more popular than Linux at the time. Because we wanted to build a self-created system, we thought of a way, that is, to gather the strengths of multiple companies and study all the systems.

We finally chose the Mach microkernel as the base layer, the FreeBSD system as the reference for the server, Linux as the reference for the application layer, and Windows as the interface.

As a result, we found that instead of combining their strengths, we set up huge obstacles for our own development work.

More importantly, because of the integration of four systems, the software and hardware adaptation of the Galaxy Kirin system has become a huge problem.

A few years later, we caught up with the decline of Mach and FreeBSD. At that time, we were really typing codes except for sleeping, but the explosive development of software and hardware was not something our team could solve by typing codes by ourselves. We were cornered.

We had to make a change, and two years ago, we began to consider a problem, which was to completely switch to the Linux kernel.

Turning to the Linux kernel will be of great help to us. It can not only solve the adaptation problem in a large area, but also allow us to focus more on the core code.

But adopting the Linux kernel will have new disadvantages. On the one hand, the Linux kernel has been developing simultaneously with the Intel processor in the world, so once we adopt the Linux kernel, we have to follow the X86.

On the other hand, the network attack experience and network attack capabilities accumulated in the United States over the years are mainly aimed at Windows systems, followed by Linux systems and Unix systems.

This security issue is something we have to consider. "

Meng Qian couldn't help laughing suddenly, making Kong Jingzhu look confused, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, just suddenly thinking about what happened last year, it's kind of interesting for the US to talk so bluntly in front of the people of the world that they have been attacking our Huaxia network."

Kong Jingzhu smiled helplessly, and Meng Qian changed the topic back, "You continue."

"Various problems bothered us and made us very uncomfortable, until one day we suddenly saw the emergence of the Baichuan kernel, which was relatively unfamiliar to us as a brand new system kernel at first.

However, the success of the Vientiane system can be said to provide a very favorable case support for the Baichuan kernel. In recent years, companies in server systems, desktop systems, and cloud systems have gradually heard voices about considering the Baichuan kernel.

The Baichuan kernel is now obviously a better choice for us than the Linux kernel. Coupled with the development of domestic software and hardware in the past few years, this has forced us to consider whether we can develop our own system based on the Baichuan kernel.

At this time, the main problem before us is the chip. As a result, one day we suddenly saw that the 2-in-1 notebook launched by Dafeng Group uses its own computer processor. Recently, we heard that Dafeng Semiconductor is going to manufacture computer chips.

We see new directions and hope.

Our current goal is to build a new ecological foundation of Baichuan kernel + Hongmeng architecture, and completely break the monopoly of Microsoft and Intel! "

Meng Qian looked at Kong Jingzhu calmly, but his heart was overwhelmed, trying to suppress the words in his heart: Isn't this what I have worked so hard for so many years! You finally reacted!

But Meng Qian didn't say what he had planned from the beginning. In front of his own people, Meng Qian has been weakening the reborn and alien characters.

Kong Jingzhu saw that Meng Qian didn't respond, and didn't know what Meng Qian was thinking, so he asked directly, "Actually, there is a question I've always wanted to ask Mr. Meng. Why not consider building another system based on the Baichuan kernel?

Or is it actually being developed in secret? "

"I won't lie in front of the three, our company doesn't have this project yet because we have a lot to think about.

The first is the maturity of the kernel. As you said just now, it is the success of the Vientiane system that makes so many people willing to trust the Baichuan kernel.

But the Vientiane system is only in its second year of development. After all, Baichuan is an open source kernel. No one knows whether it is good or not and what hidden dangers it has, so our company dare not adopt it in such a hurry.

After all, once we really start to build systems based on the Baichuan kernel, our life will be even more difficult. Recently, because we have started to engage in computer chip foundry, Intel has started to move around again. These days, we have been lobbying other companies not to use The OEM order was given to us, and the contract that we had almost negotiated with Texas Instruments was temporarily canceled.

If we let them know that we are going to build a system that is not only applicable to our own products, then the result can be imagined.

The two of you should also be clear that the short-term harmony between us and American companies is a matter of bargaining chips, which is due to our own strength.

Another reason is that we haven't made efforts in high-performance computers, high-performance server processors, and general-purpose systems.

These two things are two nuclear bombs, which cannot be easily touched, but I have been thinking about doing it, just waiting for a suitable time. "

"When is it?"

"I don't know, maybe, I'm waiting for today?"

Kong Jingzhu's eyes lit up all of a sudden, "Mr. Meng is willing to cooperate?"

"I can't give an answer yet, but I can tell you with certainty that Dafeng Group will definitely challenge high-performance computer chips and server chips, but I also want to know that the new ecological foundation that everyone wants to build is aimed at In order to escape the restrictions of the United States, or go out?"

"Will different goals have a great impact on Meng Qian?"

"Of course, if it's just defense, then I'm not interested, anyway, we should be able to do it ourselves in a few years.

But if you plan to go out, I am naturally very happy to take the car of the National University of Defense Technology in advance when our Dafeng Group is still focusing on chips. "

Kong Jingzhu's eyes were full of love for Meng Qian, and he said firmly, "Since we want to do it, there is no reason not to go out."

"Then I don't know how you are going to face the strong barriers that Microsoft has built up over the past few decades. The advantages of Microsoft's system have given him too much innate advantages. We have been pulling Linux to fight Microsoft for a long time in the past few years. It can break Microsoft's core advantage."

"We intend to take advantage of the momentum, and take advantage of two trends. The first trend is the Pure Land Lab and the Open Source Alliance. The current Pure Land Lab and the Open Source Alliance far exceed the Linux community and any open source organization in terms of scale and influence. .

Coupled with the development of open source forces in the past few years, we are going to cooperate with Pure Land Lab and the Open Source Alliance to do commercial development based on the open source foundation.

At the same time, the focus and openness of the project are guaranteed.

The second trend is Yunzhilian. The current hardware rules for the development of Yunzhilian are being rewritten. Even in the past two years, we have seen new materials emerging. The Kirin system based on the Baichuan kernel may give priority to the development of cloud systems. Through new technologies, try to Break the old monopoly. "

Meng Qian maintained a serious expression, "Once this project is established, some people may not be able to sit still."

Kong Jingzhu looked indifferent, "We only focus on technology research. If they have anything to do, they can talk to the Military Academy of the National University of Defense Technology."

Meng Qian finally smiled, "Well done!"
