Chapter 755 Vision
“Sit down, let’s sit down and chat.” The old man greeted Zhou Zhi cordially and sat down: “I’m a big smoker, but now the doctor only lets me smoke three cigarettes a day. I just let them do it during the meeting. I can't bear to smoke, am I having fun now?"
"Smoking is not good, don't imitate me," the old man said, lighting a cigarette.
This is a bit of a double standard, Zhou Zhi doesn’t know how to answer.
"Don't be nervous." The old man blew out the match: "Hu came to report today and said that someone has put forward opinions on the new font we have developed, and even independently developed a set by Shantou himself. Ah, look now The posture still needs to be completed,
Do you mean to tell me not to be nervous? Zhou Zhi was almost scared to death.
When the old man blew out the smoke and laughed, Zhou Zhi realized that the old man was indeed joking.
"No, no." This joke was too big for his small stature. Zhou Zhi quickly explained: "We held an internal seminar to discuss the feasibility of the Unicode solution."< br>
, this solution 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 conceptual and... institutional problem. ”
"Concepts and systems..." The old man seemed to have some feelings: "Tell me about it."
"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 Proposed by a group of enthusiasts.”
"Of course, from the current point of view, although the concepts proposed by the alliance are more advanced than those proposed by the International Organization for Standardization, they are still in the initial stage and are far from mature and perfect."
"So your suggestion is Let’s join in and help it mature and improve?” the old man asked.
“Yes, first of all, the access mechanism of this organization is very simple, you can enter by paying money;”
"Secondly, businessmen are all driven by profit and regard it as a product, so the criteria for selecting a plan are very simple, that is, whoever is easy to use and has low cost will win."
" Therefore, I think that compared with the International Organization for Standardization, joining the alliance will It will be much less affected by political factors, and our opportunities and voice should be greater than in the International Organization for Standardization."
The old man took another puff of cigarette: "If it doesn't happen, it will be. What are the consequences?”
“Even if it’s not done Success, at least we have a Chinese font library of our own, 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."
Old man. Shaked a bit Yan Hui: "If it is possible, according to the principle of 'digging out' a text and dividing it into sections, does it mean that all information systems using Chinese characters in the world have one and only one set of codes? Listen to Hu's report, it is this Meaning, right?”
"Absolutely, but there is another premise, that is, the Unicode standard is really widely used around the world." Zhou Zhi added.
""As you just said, this conspiracy was started by a group of hardware vendors, software vendors, scientists, and enthusiasts engaged in the information industry. ”
“These people are all practitioners, so I think they must be far more practical than the bureaucrats of the International Standardization Committee, understand practice better, and know how to set this standard. ”
“For us, developing this standard actually has a great significance. "
"Grandpa..."
"Perhaps this problem can only be solved by your generation, or even your next generation, and the next generation." The old man waved his hand, and his tone became firmer: "However, we must not create problems for future generations. When new problems arise, such as this Chinese character encoding, if we can unify it, we will unify it first. "One!"
"Grandpa!" Zhou Zhi stood up, surprised and excited, but also extremely impressed: "Do you support us in pursuing Unicode?" The big man looked at the problem differently. Although he had thought about everyone using one There is a coding problem, but I didn’t think about it so deeply.
“I can only give verbal support.” The old man played humor again: “Some people are short-sighted. For example, our 909 Project is now under construction. Preliminary discussion. 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 play the piano."
"It's just playing the piano! They haven’t calculated the cost!”
"The semiconductor microprocessing chips we import now cost 82 yuan each! When we have a production line, how much will it cost?" The old man stretched out his hand and gestured: "Eight yuan!"
"Yes. ! The future is the information age. " At this moment, Zhou Zhi was extremely impressed by the old man: "No matter what, we can't let anyone choke us on the integrated circuit chip!"
"Our country is very advanced in information technology! We have lagged behind for too long, in all aspects We all have to keep chasing." The old man laughed and bumped each other with his two fists in the air: "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 be on par with them, or even take the lead!”
“We can’t lose because we are still in the learning and catching up stage! Have the courage to be the first in the world!”
"Yes." Zhou Zhi was very excited when he heard it, but his heart suddenly became numb because he thought of a question.
My parents, Principal Zhao, are easy to deal with, but if the person in front of me wants to switch from liberal arts to science... is that obedient? Still don’t listen?
Thinking of this, I quickly confirmed: "Grandpa, I am a liberal arts student, and I will study in the Chinese Department of Shu University next. However, I will definitely convey your teachings to me today to Director Mai and Professor Li."< br>
"Huh? Hahaha..." The old man smiled happily: "Okay! This kid is giving me a vaccination in advance!"
Zhou Zhi had no choice but to laugh along with him.
After laughing, the old man said: "We also know you. You have published several liberal arts papers at a young age. It is good that young people can stick to their own ideals and ambitions."
"Gu The fourth generation of professors in our family is the only family in Sichuan that is rated as an educational family. You are in their With guidance, I will be able to achieve better results."
"Thank you, Grandpa, I will study hard."
"Well," the old man said with a smile, "Actually, don't worry, today's call is. You came here, I didn’t ask you to change your major.”
Zhou Zhi had no choice but to laugh with him again.
"The first thing is to see what kind of young people can overturn our original assumptions." The old man looked at Zhou Zhi with a smile: "The second thing is that Chief Hu mentioned something. The person who needs to tie the bell."
"Please give me instructions."
"It's not an instruction, it's mainly about that organization." The old man said: "Our country is now in line with international standards. There is a lot of cooperation in quasi-chemical organizations, and it would not be appropriate to take the initiative to join that company at this time.”
“If you join as a company, it’s embarrassing to say that our country doesn’t have one yet. Relatively good related companies.”
“After much thought, it would be best to join as a scholar or enthusiast.”
