Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Chapter 197 The sophomore year begins

Wang Guanyu struggled for a while, but finally plucked up the courage and said: "Boss, our software research and development team only has 97 people. With just a few of us, will it be too difficult to write a new mobile operating system from scratch? Some. As far as I know, even the source code of the original Android system has more than 5000 million lines of code. On average, for 100 people, each person needs to write at least 50 lines of code, which will take at least several years to complete."

Qiao Ruida shook his head and said: "The Android system is designed based on the Linux system, and the Apple ISO system is developed based on the UNIX system. The new mobile phone system we write can also learn from them and be developed based on the open source Linux or UNIX system. This can greatly improve Reduce the amount of code written. I estimate that three to four million lines of code is enough. During the research and development process, if we feel that we are short of manpower, we can recruit more programmers at any time. If you need money, give money, if you need people, give others. I don’t believe we can’t come up with the Chinese operating system.”

In her last life, Qiao Ruida was a programmer. She had seen multiple iterations of the Android system, as well as Huawei's optimized Hongmeng system. She knew its architecture, module composition, and even code in detail. If Qiao Ruida was given more than ten years, he could even write a brand new mobile phone system on his own. Now that Qiao Ruida has his own company and so many programmers working under him, it is only a matter of time before he can write a mobile operating system.

"Okay, boss, that's enough for you. I believe that as long as we are willing to work hard, it will be no problem to come up with our own mobile phone operating system. I have another question, what if we develop a mobile phone Operating system, how to solve the software ecosystem? Now our company has sold only more than three million Reda mobile phones. Even if all are updated to our own mobile operating system, the base number is still too small. I am afraid that no software company is willing to Develop corresponding programs for us."

Building a software ecosystem is an unavoidable topic in the promotion process of a new operating system. If there is not a sufficient number of application software, no matter how good the system is, only a few people will use it. Apple's ISO system and Google's Android system both experienced a lack of application software and no available software in their early days. It was only by relying on the huge appeal of Apple and Google that they spent huge sums of money, called on tens of millions of programmers around the world to participate, and wrote thousands of software programs, so that the two mobile phone systems were perfected. The software ecosystem has already achieved their glory.

On the other hand, Ruida Technology Company is just a start-up company that has been established for just over a year. It requires technology but no technical strength, and funds but no financial strength. Its influence in the industry is also very limited. It is basically impossible to imitate Apple and Google by holding a developer conference and calling on other programmers to develop software based on new mobile phone systems.

When it comes to software ecology, Qiao Ruida smiled and said: "I have also thought of a solution to the software ecology problem. In the early stages of the new system's release, we can be fully compatible with Android APPs and even Apple APPs. This is not technically difficult to achieve. Then As the sales of Ruida mobile phones increase, when the installed base of our system reaches tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, those software companies that want to make more money will definitely develop software based on the new system. By that time, wouldn’t the software ecosystem have been gradually established?”

Upon hearing this solution, Wang Guanyu's eyes suddenly lit up, "The boss's method of borrowing a chicken to lay an egg is really wonderful. At least there is no problem in doing this in China. I will urge the team members to complete the work at hand as soon as possible and get involved as soon as possible. Let’s turn to the research and development of the new system. Then boss, what should we name our mobile phone system? It can’t be called Reda System, right?”

Since Qiao Ruida started his business, his name has been used in too many places, such as Ruida Technology Company, Ruida Electronics Factory, Ruida Mall, Ruida Mobile Phones, etc. Now that we have to develop our own mobile operating system, it seems inappropriate to continue using the Reda name. Qiao Ruida pondered for a while and then said: "Then let's call it the 'Open Sky' system. Starting from me, we will create the world."

After returning to the office, Qiao Ruida turned on the computer and began to draft a detailed mobile operating system development plan. Then she designed the system architecture, subdivided the functional modules, and handed it over to the software development team to fill in the code. This busy work lasted two days. .

Two days later, Peking University's old students started school, and Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing returned to Yanyuan to register for the new semester. From today on, they are sophomores. After registration is completed, you can choose courses online. The freshman year that has passed is a year for laying foundations, and the sophomore year that is about to begin is a year for learning professional knowledge. Judging from the course schedule, there are several professional courses and experimental courses to be offered this semester, such as professional English, digital electricity, analog electricity, electrical engineering experiments, experiments related to digital electricity and analog electricity, engineering mathematics, electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic waves, signals and system and its experiments, etc. For many of the courses, especially the experimental courses, it is difficult to grasp the essence by just reading the textbooks. Even Qiao Ruida, a cheater, would not dare to skip these professional and experimental classes casually.

After the start of the new semester, Qiao Ruida's time in class increased significantly. Even in his spare time, he often spent time in the library, reading (scanning) more books and enriching his knowledge. As more time is spent on studying, Qiao Ruida spends less time in the company. Fortunately, Ruida Technology Company is now on the right track. Even without the intervention of Qiao Ruida, the founder, it can always proceed step by step. Keep running.

On September 9st, the 1th grade freshmen were admitted, and many sophomores and juniors were involved in welcoming the new students. For example, the three roommates who share the same dormitory with Qiao Ruida are three of the many seniors who greet the new students. However, the purpose of these three guys seemed not to be very simple, because they took the initiative to greet some beautiful girls, took the initiative to help them carry their luggage, and took the initiative to lead them through the check-in procedures. They were extremely enthusiastic and proactive. If some junior students come forward to consult, they will ignore it. Even if they are assigned the task of receiving junior students, they will do it perfunctorily. But there is no need for the freshmen to worry. Naturally, the sophomores and juniors will step forward to help them solve their problems.
