The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 4 Family Conflict
  Why can Microsoft dominate the world's computer microcomputer operating system market?

In fact, the main reason is that it adopts the mode of bundling with Intel hardware.

win+Intel formed wintel, and around the world, the microcomputer processor chip is firmly in the hands of Yingjiang.

The two major CPU manufacturers, Intel and AMD, are both domestic companies.

If your country wants to develop its own computers, it can only use other people's CPUs.

However, other people's hardware is incompatible with the software you develop yourself, so the functions and so on will be greatly reduced and it will not be easy to use.

So, when the market door opens and Microsoft's operating system comes in on a large scale, you will naturally be defeated.

Therefore, if microcomputers want to develop rapidly, they must walk on two legs. Both software and hardware must be developed.

Zhang Zhipeng remembers that Microsoft operating system began to enter the Chinese market on a large scale in 1994.

Until the beginning of 2000, there were actually dozens of self-developed operating systems in China.

There are thirty or forty versions of Xteam Linux, BluePoint Linux, Red Flag Linux, ChinaSoft Linux, etc.

Everyone fights on their own, and every family has to build a hilltop.

In the end, no one developed. Microsoft directly used the piracy strategy to occupy the market with piracy. Finally, when its operating system accounted for more than 90% of the Chinese market, it began to crack down on piracy and finally completed the harvest.

This is the lesson of blood.

However, in this life, since I am reborn, I must not let the tragedy happen again.

But before developing the operating system and self-developed CPU, we still need to solve the problem of making swords first! If your sword is not sharp enough, it will not be powerful. Without strong force to protect itself, no matter how good the development of civilian science and technology is, it will only be regarded as a leek in the eyes of others.

Zhang Zhipeng pondered the MS-DOS operating system and constantly practiced his programming skills.

Soon, his programming ability improved to advanced programming skills in C language.

At this time, he discovered a problem: he did not know the Wangma Wubi input method, and the Pinyin input method that came with the computer in the computer room was really clumsy.

The current Pinyin input method has no word selection and can only type word by word. It is as slow as an old cow dragging a cart and is far different from the speed of Wubi.

Zhang Zhipeng began to think about modifying the pinyin input method on the computer.

His current programming skills are quite good, but even so, he found that it is difficult to develop a pinyin input method like the intelligent ABC of later generations.

Because the input method involves quite a lot of knowledge.

First of all, you need to accumulate a very rich knowledge of the Chinese language, and you also need to be familiar with conventional pinyin habits, word frequency arrangements, and retrieval to provide accurate word selection...

Secondly, it also involves probability, vocabulary algorithm, etc.

In short, if you want to program a Pinyin input method, you must be proficient in the Chinese language.

Zhang Zhipeng shook his head while modifying the Pinyin input method that came with his computer.

He found that he could not finish the job in a short time.

However, while he was thinking about modifying the input method, his Chinese language knowledge and skills were slowly improving.

After working for about two or three hours, Zhang Zhipeng reluctantly changed the original Quanpin input method into an upgraded version that can input phrases and select entries.

After the modification was completed, he tried it and found that it was much more efficient than the original Quanpin input method, and it was much, much easier to use than before. But the typing efficiency is still a little worse than that of Wubi font.

When Zhang Zhipeng looked outside, it was completely dark. It was already after 9 p.m.

He stretched, turned off the computer, and walked home.

The rain is still falling outside, and it seems to be a little denser than before.

His home is not far away from the Family Courtyard, and it takes less than ten minutes to walk.

After jogging and walking all the way home, he was so hungry that his stomach was already growling.

His home is in an old tube building, with about ten households on one floor sharing the toilet, water room and kitchen.

In short, the atmosphere of life is very strong.

Every household lives in quite small spaces.

When Zhang Zhipeng walked into the corridor, every household was already getting ready for bed, and the TV was blaring. A majestic singing voice came into the corridor:
  The Chinese people who have been sleeping for hundreds of years are gradually waking up. Open your eyes and look carefully.
  Who is willing to admit himself

Because of cringe and forbearance

People's arrogance is rising
  Open your mouth and scream loudly...

This is Huo Yuanjia's theme song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall Down."

Zhang Zhipeng walked quietly through the corridor, which was filled with the smell of sulfur from burning briquettes. There are various sundries placed on both sides of the corridor. But overall, it's pretty neat.

Arriving at the door of his home, Zhang Zhipeng took out his key and opened the door.

Both parents are still watching TV.

When his mother Wang Yuqin saw him coming back, she quickly stood up and asked, "Why are you back so late?"

"have you eaten?"

"Look, you're all soaked. You're going to catch a cold like this."

Mother handed over a dry towel and asked Zhang Zhipeng to wipe his face and quickly change into dry clothes.

The father only glanced at it, sighed, and continued to watch his TV.

He had no hope for this son.

Huo Yuanjia is also playing on the TV screen. This TV series actually began to be broadcast in the mainland in the mid-1980s. Repeatedly replayed, the ratings are still quite high.

"Mom, I worked overtime at work, but it was already past 9 o'clock in the blink of an eye." After Zhang Zhipeng said this, he went back to his room to change clothes.

His sister Zhang Chiling has a dormitory in the school's young teachers' apartment and does not live at home.

There is no room for him at home.

While changing clothes, Zhang Zhipeng heard his parents talking outside.

The father looked very angry: "You are uneducated and have no skills! You hang out with a bunch of street gangsters all day long! If you continue like this, you will go to jail sooner or later!"

"Why did I give birth to such a useless son!"

"It's because you're too spoiled to him!"

The mother lowered her voice and said, "Why are you making noise?"

"Didn't the kid just say that? He is working overtime at work."

The father sighed: "Listen to his nonsense! How can he, a handyman, be busier than the professor when he works overtime at work? He is just fooling around."

The mother said: "The child is old, you should save some face for him! Otherwise he will run away from home again soon!"

"I think he has become much more honest these days."

The father said: "Forget it, why should I be angry?! As long as there is food and drink for me, I don't care about anything!"

Zhang Zhipeng shook his head. It seemed that the previous owner of this body had really broken his father's heart.

When he came across, he was on the side of the road. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he found that his clothes were dirty and he smelled of alcohol. Apparently the previous owner drank too much and burped on the roadside while drunk, which Zhang Zhipeng picked up.

The previous owner was a standard Chang'an idler, that is, a ruffian and bully. This title was very popular in the 1980s and 1990s, but gradually no one used it anymore. In later generations, everyone used "social brother" to refer to ruffians.

Zhang Zhipeng decided to have a good talk with his father later and let him know that his past self was dead and that his current self would definitely make progress.

After changing his clothes, Zhang Zhipeng walked out of his small room.

"Mom, is there anything to eat? Just steamed buns. I'll give you a cushion. I'm a little hungry." Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile.

Mother wiped her eyes, squeezed out a smile and said, "There are vegetables left for you. I'll heat them up for you."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "It doesn't have to be hot, it's not cold today, just make do with it, it'll be fine."

As he spoke, he found the leftover food, took a steamed bun, put it on the small table and started eating.

My father regained his cold expression.
