Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 781 Also, yes, who

Cantonese-style morning tea is especially suitable for talking about things. Li Leshan greeted Zhou Zhi to sit down: "There is no need to be modest about this. Your ideas are quite mature, otherwise it would be impossible to complete the transformation so quickly."

Li Leshan is also very concerned about the domestic information industry, and has made great contributions to the development of the domestic software industry in many aspects.

For example, the well-known open-source operating system UNIX, and its development software C language, entered the country under the recommendation of Li Leshan.

The UNIX system has also gone through several iterations, and the organization that has made the greatest contribution is the BSD, which was developed based on the TCP/IP communication protocol, which is mainly developed by ATT's Bell Labs.

Last year, ATT integrated various UNIX versions, including BSD, UNIX V, XENIX, SUNOS, and finally formed a fairly mature new baseline version-SVR4.

ATT Company licenses this version to major laboratories and colleges all over the world for free, so this is an excellent open source system.

Li Leshan immediately introduced it to the domestic market.

Through this free open source system, domestic colleges and software companies can perfectly avoid the patent trap of software research and development, greatly reduce costs, and promote the development of the domestic software industry.

Of course, in turn, it also promoted the development of the UNIX system itself.

In a few decades, this promotion will bear fruitful results. Domestically, we will use our familiarity with the UNIX system to develop a large number of patented products.

After the Android system developed based on the UNIX system became the mainstream operating system for smartphones, the country successfully realized corner overtaking on the basis of the important software of the smartphone industry operating system.

Domestic manufacturers, in turn, have become the group with the most patented technology of this system in the world. Many mobile communication products, led by domestic smart phones, have left other countries with no other way to resist their strong competitiveness except for playing dirty tricks.

Those who are good fighters have no great achievements. When future generations are enjoying these dividends, they basically don't know that the founder who first introduced the open source operating system into China is the one who ate pineapple buns in front of him.

"Accompany me to eat something with elbows. I'd like to have a bite over there." Li Leshan tore open a pineapple bun, looked at the egg yolk sand flowing inside and nodded with satisfaction, but misread Zhou Zhi's admiring gaze as eagerness Wanting to eat something, I handed him half of the pineapple bun: "There is another key point in your plan, which is quite flexible. There is enough space for future expansion upwards, and three-level subsets are determined downwards. .”

"Who will be the happiest when you know that your plan is coming out?"

"It's...Microsoft?" Zhou Zhi took the pineapple bag and asked tentatively.

"Hahahaha..." Li Leshan laughed loudly: "Smart! After Bill learned about this yesterday, he urged me to leave quickly. If you can complete the construction of a large Chinese character library under the framework of the unicode protocol, it means that the unicode protocol has actually been matured. Sex verification!"

"Even the large Chinese character library can hold it, and the rest of the characters are even less of a problem."

"And I can tell you responsibly that Lao Bi is definitely not the only one who cares about this matter!"

After finishing speaking, he took a big mouthful of the pineapple bun in his hand, and raised his hand to Uncle Long, which meant that it was still the satisfying taste.

Uncle Long, who was in charge of serving, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, which was his first smile since today.

Li Leshan's words can be completely understood by Zhou Zhi, and most of the people who care about unicode are computer manufacturers.

The reason why they are so concerned, in addition to some technical issues, also involves some legal issues.

Or because of the most common technical barrier - patents.

There is no doubt that if unicode is finally perfected, the first beneficiaries are of course the members of the alliance.

Even the agreement is likely to become a free agreement like UNIX, which can be provided to all software and hardware manufacturers in the world, greatly reducing everyone's cost.

As China, which contributes the most, there is no need to search for patents. After all, the biggest beneficiary of this agreement is China.

Other countries are not very interested in which protocol to use, because there are few characters, and any protocol is enough for them.

But for China, where there are a large number of characters, it is of great significance to be able to avoid being searched for by others for large agreement royalties.

So the topic quickly turned to technical details, and a good morning tea turned into a "big font library design defense meeting" that was increasingly incomprehensible to others except Zhou Zhi and Li Leshan.

We can't blame Li Leshan for his urgency and dedication.

First of all, he didn't quite believe that there was such a technical force in the country. It must be known that the preparation work for this engineering technology was quite complicated, especially it was unreasonable for Zhou Zhi to pester Feng Xueshan with such "stupid" efforts to complete the preparation work.

The software engineering preparation work is the basis of a huge technical project. Only after rigorous demand demonstration and rigorous technical demonstration, can the project approval work be carried out after it is confirmed that it is feasible.

After the establishment of the project, the investment in capital, technology, personnel, etc. can be started, and the preliminary development preparations can be carried out.

Zhou Zhi's approach is easy to say, like a one-hot-one-shot approach, but one-hot-one-shot can be coordinated with international agreements, and even put the work in front, making a huge advance and giving all alliance members A huge surprise.

In any case, this is not something that a fresh high school graduate in a developing country with an underdeveloped information technology industry can do.

More like a bizarre fantasy.

Therefore, Li Leshan could not even care about being polite. He was eager to know whether the design and development of this large font library was a technical reality that had been realized step by step, or just a high school student's whimsical fantasy.

Even though Minister Hu and Director Mai of the Computer Department of Shu University repeatedly emphasized to him that it was true, he still had a feeling that he couldn't believe it.

But now the morning tea is getting more and more comfortable, because with the deepening of the conversation, Li Leshan has been able to confirm that this matter has already been done, and has made a lot of progress.

It can even be said that the country has already done almost everything, and there are not many things that can be left to foreign countries.

After a few hours of defense, Li Leshan knew that he had found a treasure this time, and basically there was only one thing left for the alliance - to draw enough code points for the Chinese character encoding.

After that, the font library can be transplanted into the unicode character set, which will expand the character set to dozens of times at once, which will be an explosive growth that will shock the industry.

The most important thing is the humanistic connotation contained in it, which is enough to shut up all those who dared to raise objections before.

Being able to use the big proposition of defending the achievements of human civilization to crush criticism, Li Leshan dared to stand at the speaking table of the alliance meeting and ask: "Yes, yes, who?"
