Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 754 Vision
"Sit down, let's sit down and talk." The old man greeted Zhou Zhi cordially and sat down: "I'm addicted to cigarettes, but now the doctor only asks me to smoke three cigarettes a day. I asked them to smoke during the meeting just now. I can't bear it. How can I enjoy it now? "

"Smoking is bad, don't learn from me." The old man said and lit a cigarette.

This is a bit of a double standard, and Zhou Zhi doesn't know how to answer it.

"Don't be nervous." The old man blew out the match: "Hu came to report today, saying that the new font library we built, someone made a suggestion, and independent hills built a new font, ah, it looks like it's going to be successful now,

Are you trying to tell me not to be nervous?Zhou Zhi was almost scared to death.

It wasn't until the old man took a breath of cigarettes and laughed that Zhou Zhi realized that the old man was indeed joking.

"No, no." The joke was too big for his small body, Zhou Zhi hurriedly explained: "It was an internal seminar to discuss the feasibility of the Unicode solution."

, this plan is completely possible? "

"Theoretically it is feasible, but there is still a lot of work to be done." Zhou Zhi said: "Of course it is not a technical problem, but... a concept and... a system."

"Concepts and systems..." The old man seemed to be very touched: "Tell me."

"First of all, the Unicode standard itself was not proposed by the International Organization for Standardization, but by a group of entrepreneurs, scholars, and even enthusiasts."

"Of course, from the current point of view, although the concept proposed by the alliance is more advanced than that proposed by the International Organization for Standardization, it is still in its infancy and is far from mature and perfect."

"So your suggestion is that we join in and help it mature and perfect?" asked the old man.

"Yes, first of all, the access mechanism of this organization is very simple, you can enter with money;"

"Secondly, businessmen are all profit-seeking, and they regard it as a product, so the criteria for program selection are very simple, that is, whoever is easy to use and the cost is low, will take advantage."

"So I think that joining the alliance will be much less affected by political factors than the International Organization for Standardization. And our opportunities and voice should be greater than those in the International Organization for Standardization."

The old man took another puff of cigarette: "If it doesn't work out, what will be the consequences?"

"Even if it doesn't work out, at least we have our own Huaxia font library, and at least we have our own standards. Even if we continue to expand on the basis of GB13000 in the future, we have a solid foundation for implementation."

The old man shook the soot: "If it is done, according to the principle of "digging in oil" a kind of division of characters, does it mean that all the information systems in the world that use Chinese characters have only one set of codes? Listen to Hu Report, that’s what you mean, right?”

"That's right, but there is another premise, that is, the Unicode standard is really widely used around the world." Zhou Zhi added.

""You just said that this sloppy mess was created by a group of hardware vendors, software vendors, scientists, and enthusiasts engaged in the information industry. "

"These people are practitioners, so I think they must be far more practice-oriented, understand practice, and know how to set this standard than the bureaucrats of the International Standardization Committee."

"For us, developing this standard actually has another great significance."

"grandfather……"

"This problem may only be left to your generation, or even your next generation, and the next generation to solve it." The old man waved his hand, but his tone became resolute: "However, we must not create problems for future generations." If there is a new problem, such as this Chinese character code, if we can unify it, we will unify it first!"

"Grandpa!" Zhou Zhi stood up, both surprised and excited, and extremely admired: "You support us in developing Unicode?"

Big shots look at problems really differently. Although I have thought about the problem of everyone using a set of codes, I haven't thought about it so deeply.

"I, I can only give verbal support." The old man played humor again: "Some people's vision is short-sighted, such as our [-] project, which is currently in preliminary discussions. Because they are not optimistic about the chip market in the next few years. , Many people are worried about the introduction of production lines from island countries, saying that we are buying firecrackers and letting foreigners release them."

"It's just playing the piano! They haven't calculated the cost!"

"The semiconductor micro-processing chips we import now cost 82 yuan a piece! When we have a production line, how much will we get?" The old man stretched out his hand and made a gesture: "Eight yuan!"

"Yes! The future is the information age." At this moment, Zhou Zhi admired the old man beyond words: "No matter what, we can't let people get our necks stuck on the integrated circuit chip!"

"Our country has lagged behind in information technology for too long, and we have to catch up in all aspects." The old man smiled, and punched each other in the air with his two fists: "But I think your idea is very good."

"While chasing, we don't have to be led by others. At least on the issue of Chinese character encoding, we have every chance to tie with them, or even lead!"

"We can't lose the courage to be the first in the world just because we are still learning to catch up!"

"Yes." Zhou Zhi was very excited when he heard it, but his heart suddenly went numb because he thought of a question.

Parents, Principal Zhao are easy to deal with, but if the person in front of him wants to switch from liberal arts to science...is he obedient?Still don't listen?

Thinking of this, I quickly confirmed it: "Grandpa, I am a liberal arts student, and I will study in the Chinese Department of Shu University next, but I will definitely pass on what you taught me today to Director Mai and Professor Li."

"Ah? Hahaha..." The old man smiled happily: "Okay! Kid, this is giving me an early vaccination!"

Zhou Zhi could only laugh awkwardly.

After laughing, the old man said: "We also know about you. You have published several liberal arts papers at a young age. It is very good that young people can stick to their ideals and aspirations."

"Professors of the four generations of the Gu family are the only family in Sichuan that has been rated as an educational family. Under their guidance, you will definitely be able to make better grades."

"Thank you grandpa, I will definitely study hard."

"Well," the old man said with a smile, "Actually, don't worry, I called you here today, not to change your major."

Zhou Zhi had no choice but to laugh awkwardly again.

"Firstly, to see what kind of young man is able to overthrow our original idea." The old man looked at Zhou Zhi with a smile: "Secondly, Chief Hu said something. The person who must tie the bell."

"Grandpa please instruct."

"It's not an instruction, it's mainly about that organization." The old man said: "Our country now has a lot of cooperation with the International Organization for Standardization. At this time, it is not appropriate to take the initiative to join that oily mess."

"If you join as a company, it's ashamed to say that there are no relevant companies in our country that can be compared."

"After much deliberation, it is best to join as a scholar or a fan."
