The next morning, around seven o'clock.
It was faintly bright, and there were already people coming and going in the courtyard of the headquarters of Yiming Group.
Zhu Xiaolong and Wang Zhizhong came to the headquarters compound in advance to prepare to participate in the Longteng operating system project meeting.
"Xiaolong, I heard from Mr. Xu: The core code of this Linux operating system was designed by a foreigner. And it only took him a year to arrive. Why did we take so long?"
Wang Zhizhong is very disagreeable with the programmers working in the collective company compound, thinking that they are wasting time.
Regarding Wang Zhizhong's statement, Zhu Xiaolong could only smile:
Because the Longteng operating system they are currently developing can no longer be called the Linux operating system, nor can it be called the Unix operating system.
The algorithm of this Longteng operating system is imitating the Unix operating system, and it is also a multi-user, multi-task time-sharing operating system.However, the core code of the Longteng operating system is re-written in assembly language to absorb the advantages of the Linux operating system and discard many of the shortcomings of the Unix operating system.
This is a brand new operating system, which belongs to Huaguo's operating system with a Chinese graphical interface.
Nowadays, only two operating systems, OS and Windows 95, are graphical desktop operating systems.
The Longteng operating system is the world's third operating system with a graphical interface, and there is no need to enter a command to operate the file icon on the desktop.The Longteng operating system is different from Windows 95 and needs to be backward compatible with DOS software, so all instructions are cancelled.
"Well...so the workload is a bit heavy!" After hearing Zhu Xiaolong's explanation, Wang Zhizhong nodded.
At this time, the two of them had arrived at the door of the large conference room on the first floor of the R&D building.
The meeting room was already full at this time.These people all came to develop the person in charge of each sub-project, belonging to the various research institutes of the Longbow Group.
Lu Guangming and Wang Changhe were also sitting at this time, leaving Xu Zhenming and Gui Changshu in the center.The two of them were a little anxious at this time, looking in the direction of the conference room door.
Seeing this scene, Wang Zhizhong and Zhu Xiaolong found a remote place to sit down, took out their notebooks like everyone else, and prepared to start taking notes of the meeting.
Soon, Xu Zhenming and Gui Changshu came together, discussing something quietly from time to time.
"Everyone! It's a meeting! The second project technical discussion meeting of Longteng Operating System is now officially started. Next, the person in charge of each project team will start to report!"
Seeing that Xu Zhenming and Gui Changshu were seated at the same time, Lu Guangming, who presided over the meeting, announced the official start of the Longteng operating system technical seminar.
"Report to the two team leaders! The Chinese character library module, smart pinyin input method module, other input device interface modules that we are responsible for in our 403 have completed the code writing task! Moreover, the smart pinyin input method module and Chinese characters developed by us The font module has passed the market inspection and there is no obvious BUG!"
The first to report the situation was the project leader of the 403 Institute.He was talking with a smile at this time, obviously in a good mood.The 403 Institute performed well this time. It recruited more than twice the number of programmers to make a surprise attack and finally completed the task.
According to the rules set by Xu Zhenming, they can evacuate the compound of Yiming Group Company and return to 403.
Therefore, after Lu Guangming and others reported the situation, they looked at Xu Zhenming.Seeing that Xu Zhenming did not respond, he read out the order according to the procedures established by Xu Zhenming: "Your 403 Institute can handle code handover procedures, equipment handover procedures and venue handover procedures tomorrow!"
"No! 403 can't leave early! They must stay, and they can help other comrades do some tasks!" However, Gui Changshu did not agree with Lu Guangming's opinion.
Hearing this, the person in charge of 403 was injured immediately, his face was ugly and a little haggard.
Before coming here for a meeting, he had already discussed with his colleagues, ready to take a holiday, rest, go to the streets to buy souvenirs and scheduled return tickets!It's better now, but the Great Demon King Gui Changshu actually wants them to stay and work overtime. Who can stand this?
Thinking of this, this person looked at Xu Zhenming bitterly, hoping that Xu Zhenming would come out to uphold justice.What he meant in his gaze was to say, "Leader Xu! You patted your chest to make sure that you can't die now, right?"
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Xu Zhenming couldn't help but smile, and said to Gui Changshu sideways: "Writing code is mental work and requires a clear head! 403 has completed the task and should be allowed to return to the station to rest. Charge the brain, otherwise, they will have no hair on their brains!"
"Hahaha..." Upon hearing this, the programmers in the conference room burst into laughter, and some people even scratched their sparse foreheads.
As long as programmers who have been working for more than five years will experience hair loss more or less, this is a normal problem.
Seeing Xu Zhenming saying so, Gui Changshu still frowned and did not make a statement.According to his logic, the Longbow Group is a whole and should advance and retreat together.And Xu Zhenming's contract responsibility system just goes against his idea.
How can this work?
Seeing that the old man was wanting to be hypocritical, Xu Zhenming said to the person in charge of 403: "You can hand over the task back, but you must bring a task back! This task is very simple. After you go back, you need to develop a Fortran language for the Longteng operating system. surroundings!"
Fortran language is one of the earliest high-level languages, the most suitable high-level language for scientific computing.If the Fortran language development environment is designed, Longbow Group, various universities, various research units, etc., should be very welcome.
Of course, only team members who have participated in the research and development of Longteng operating system can develop the most suitable application software for this operating system.
"Yes, Team Leader Xu!"
At this time, the person in charge of 403 happily took over the task.
When he completes the task here and can go home on time, the heads of other units immediately become active.
"Report leader! The web browser project that we are responsible for in 207 has completed the task!"
"The graphical interface code task for our 709 has been completed!"
"The disk system code task for our 305 has been completed!"
"..."
As reported by the person in charge of each unit, the task progress of the Longteng operating system has actually been calculated.
This task of writing code has been completed about 90%, almost all the subsystems have been completed, and now only the main program code, module assembly, system overall compilation... etc. work.
Of course, this job is the most difficult!
After the Longteng operating system is compiled, the internal test will be tried to find the system BUG.
Wang Changhe, as one of Xu Zhenming's designated deputies, is to check the progress of all modules and software system projects.After some statistics and estimates, he opened the computer file and displayed the statistics on the large projection screen.
"Report to Team Leader Gui and Team Leader Xu! According to the current progress, the completion time of the Longteng control system project should be around January 20, 1996!"
He should have some margin at this time, and the compilation time of the Longteng operating system can be at least about 10 days in advance.
Xu Zhenming could estimate it, but he didn't break Wang Changhe.
"How can this work? I have already reported to the head of the headquarters that the Longteng operating system was officially released to the world on January 18, 1996!"
At this time, Gui Changshu made another decision that made the programmers feel palpitation.
"Broken! Leader Gui won't let us stay and work overtime, right? I'm engaged in image processing, so how can I continue to write half of the code they wrote?"
"Continuing to write code is the most messy and time-consuming, and you have to read and understand the code written by others!"
"Yes! It's too late to redistribute code tasks at this time, and it's a waste of time!"
The programmers in the conference room are all talking carefully at this time.
They also know that the program documents written by Xu Zhenming have divided the code tasks into very fine detail and cannot be subdivided.When the task of writing code comes to this point, it takes some time to complete the coding work.
For example, in the same program, you can't let one person write the beginning and the other person write the end, right?
That's a waste of time!
Mindful of this, Lu Guangming took the lead in stating: "Report to Team Leader Gui! Our team will strive to complete the Longteng software test work before January 18th to ensure that the Longteng operating system can be released globally on January 18th!"
"Report to Team Leader Gui and Team Leader Xu! Our team will stick to the end and ensure that the task is completed on time!" At this time, Wang Changhe also spoke on behalf of the team.
These two teams have a relatively large number of people, about 400 people together.When the Longteng operating system really has a BUG, there is no time to modify it.
In this case, Xu Zhenming looked sideways at Gui Changshu, "It must be no problem according to your plan!"
Immediately, he issued instructions on behalf of Gui Changshu: "The 207 Institute is responsible for developing a set of EMAIL sending and receiving software; the task of the 709 Institute is to develop a CCED-like spreadsheet and word processing software; the 305 Institute is responsible for the development of game software for the "Fight Landlord" ; 412 is responsible for the development of '80 minutes' game software..."
After this task was laid out, word processing, spreadsheets, game software, development language environment... and so on under the Longteng operating system environment were all fully equipped to form a closed operating system environment.
"Ah... we won't return to the station, isn't it the same? There are tasks to do!"
"Leader Xu! Can the task of our 412 Institute be completed after the Spring Festival?"
"I was fooled! Can our 305 application stay and help?"
By now, the research team that was allowed to evacuate found that they were even worse off, and the tasks they received were heavier.They feel fooled and have to volunteer to stay and help.
But at this time Xu Zhenming said with a straight face: "No! You must immediately prepare to handover the work and give up the site. The tasks assigned by the 1464 project team must be completed before the Spring Festival. Of course, those tasks can also be reported as your project ."
Regarding the question of how to report the Longteng application software project, Xu Zhenming was inconvenient to intervene, so he didn't say much.
Later, he announced at the meeting that all members who came to participate in the 1464 project team would be awarded 500 yuan.
"Okay! Thank you Team Leader Xu!"
"Leader Xu! Will there be similar projects next year?"
"Leader Xu, if you have a project, you must think of our 305 institutes!"
This reward made the atmosphere in the meeting room warm.
The next morning, around seven o'clock.
It was faintly bright, and there were already people coming and going in the courtyard of the headquarters of Yiming Group.
Zhu Xiaolong and Wang Zhizhong came to the headquarters compound in advance to prepare to participate in the Longteng operating system project meeting.
