Chapter 321 Journey
"Give everyone a mission statement."
Li Yan changed the name of the "Four Kings and Three" group to "Hetu System Development Team", and suddenly something happened inside I sent this sentence.
The teammates expressed expectant and frightened expressions.
“First, get the prototype of a mobile phone system with high interactivity and high degree of freedom; second, get the prototype of an ultra-high compression algorithm.”
"Yeah!"
"Very excited!"
"We are playing a big game of chess!"
Everyone responded very positively.
"How long will it take?" Deng Yudi asked a key question.
"Two months."
For half a minute, no one responded in this group.
It’s too outrageous. Whenever others say this, I’m afraid the three UW reserve geniuses in the group are ready to laugh.
Mobile phone system? This thing is the result of dozens or even hundreds of geniuses from top foreign technology companies.
Across the world, this thing is considered a "trial period".
At present, the dominance of Nokia is somewhat precarious, but they are a system; the Pineapple mobile phone produced by Pineapple Company is also a system, which means it is a bit ahead of the times; Robert, the open source system developed by the technology giant, also has various experts to provide optimization. What do you think? They all have the potential to make huge waves...
Chuangzu is currently the best in the country, and Li Yan himself said that he must rely on their basic results.
But they only used win system transplantation, and they did not create a system by themselves.
To do such a difficult thing, expect a few students who are still studying elementary problems...
How much more two months?
But the person who proposed it was Li Yan. This guy has accomplished so many incredible things. Anyone who doesn't believe in him will always end up being slapped in the face.
The kind that makes a crisp sound and leaves traces.
But this time, it’s not that everyone doesn’t believe in him, they really don’t believe in themselves.
"Yanshen, are you serious?" He Zixiang was typing solemnly.
"Seriously, but you may have a misunderstanding."
This literal meaning is not easy to misunderstand, right? But everyone remained silent, waiting for Li Yan to explain.
“Of course I am not thinking that we can come up with a system that can be officially used, nor am I asking us to create an ultra-high compression algorithm that is suitable for many scenarios.”
There is an egg there use?
"To put it bluntly, I hope everyone can at least make a shell and make it look like it can be displayed on a mobile phone prototype. It can be used to express the concept of 'high interactivity' and 'high customization freedom' .”
The three people across the screen frowned.
Then I saw some information coming from the group, which was a concept book written by Li Yan.
It describes in detail the various functions required by this "Hetu System". The focus is on the interaction between software across usage levels - for example, you can click on music on the desktop, press and hold your favorite Drag a song to "My Collection", and this collection can also be a store or even a dish in the takeout app.
Or pull them out directly from the software and put them on the desktop, which can be quickly started from the desktop.
It can be said to be a gesture operating system under specific requirements.
In the year before Li Yan was reborn, it might not have been anything great, but now that smartphones are still a rare commodity, for Deng Yudi and others, this gadget is nothing more than a few "imaginative things." Good" article.
However, Li Yan also attached possible implementation ideas under each function, but after a quick glance, he knew that there would be many problems to deal with by then - and he didn't know whether they could be dealt with.
As for the ultra-high compression algorithm, Li Yan hopes that this thing can be bound to the system and become the basic algorithm for loading and transmitting video pictures in the system.
In the final analysis, it means sacrificing the certain clarity of video and pictures on small screens in exchange for the early popularity of video and picture media in the era of low network speed and low traffic.
Clear versions of pictures and videos can still be downloaded, subject to the customer’s decision.
"Sacrifice a certain amount of clarity" for compression... This sounds easy to say, but in actual operation there are more problems.
To what extent is it acceptable to sacrifice clarity? Is it possible if the video action becomes slightly laggy?
My eyes darkened.
There is another key issue. Building a system also faces a huge difficulty - ecology.
Boss Huang was very vocal about a special version of the QQ mobile phone win system, and he was lobbying for it with the W8, which was almost the same as the founding family.
Various mobile phone software have to adapt to Hetu... This thing may be more difficult than making the system itself.
"Yanshen, are you ready to build a real mobile phone?" Lai Yining asked.
"Concept machine."
"Even if it is a concept machine, where do we get the conditions?" He Zixiang asked.
“I will solve it.”
“But I still don’t understand. No offense. These two things are only made into a shell and displayed. What’s the use?” Deng Yudi continued to ask. .
I guessed that everyone would react this way.
“Let me tell you a little story. When China was developing nuclear submarines, Chief Designer Huang led a group of people to basically complete the design of the drawings, but he was unsure. As a result, there was a model manufacturer in the United States. The model of our own nuclear submarine was made and bought back to China. Mr. Huang saw that the hull layout of the American was very close to what we had figured out ourselves, and he knew that we were on the right track, which greatly strengthened his confidence. "< br>
Everyone seems to understand.
Li Yan continued to send text: "The biggest difficulty in making an atomic bomb is knowing that it can definitely be built."
"The biggest difficulty in making a super-light spacecraft is knowing that it is feasible."
< br>
Everyone still didn't understand.
“The most difficult part of all innovation paths is to convince everyone that it is feasible. In other words, it is important to know whether it can be built. A commercial-grade finished product is of course best, but if the idea is leading, a The concept of sufficient display is also very good.”
“Friends, the way we want to go is the future. The system only needs to show our core demands. Now we can rely on the early foundation of Robert or Chuangzu. Once you have enough helpers, you can naturally consider developing algorithms and mobile software. "
"Enough helpers?" Lai Yining heard.
“At the Linjiang Province Developers Conference in early June, I will try to get manufacturers from other regions to participate.”
Damn it, you can say this.
The key is that everyone still feels they can trust me.
He Zixiang shook his head repeatedly in front of the screen. How many things had Li Yan done in private?
“You mean, you want everyone to know first that the mobile phone can be made to look like what you have in your hand?” Deng Yudi asked.
“The truth is, plant a seed for everyone so that it can be watered later.”
"And if you want to win the support of various companies in the ecosystem, you must be ahead of everyone!" Lai Yining was a little excited, "Just like Chuangzu came up with W8, if it can dominate the smartphone market, all software will definitely Everyone came to adapt to his system."
"It's a pity that he is behind bars now. The Pineapple Company was too cruel," He Zixiang said.
“Do you think it was copied or not?” Deng Yudi suddenly changed the subject.
This topic is obviously easier to understand than what Li Yan said - mainly because there is no pressure.
So everyone was chatting very happily.
There were dozens of messages crackling all at once.
“The system smoothness and innovation of Pineapple Phone are second to none. It is not widely used and has not entered the market because it has its own system and the software ecosystem has not yet been established.”
Li Yan brought the topic back again.
"Yes, and now the mobile phone software... doesn't feel rich enough." Lai Yining immediately followed. "To bring it to the point, everyone has no idea how smart phones can change their lives. Mobile phones are still only used to make calls, log in to QQ, play mobile games, and occasionally browse the web - which is restricted by the Internet." Li Yan types very fast, “This is where we can make a big fuss.”
His hand speed is so fast that others are always ready to respond to his previous sentence, and a new sentence comes out after half-writing, so they can only delete it and rewrite it.
"Wait a minute, Yan Shen, what do you mean... You didn't even develop the mobile software, did you?" Lai Yining still thinks quickly.
“I can’t say it’s done, but at least I have a foundation.”
“Are you hungry?! Including what order delivery algorithm you told us last time?” Deng Yudi reacted then come over.
“Yes. They will be part of the display too.”
"Fuck...you are playing a big game of chess, Yan Shen." He Zixiang typed for a long time and finally turned it into a sigh.
However, Lai Yining, who has a lot of experience in the compression algorithm itself, put forward his opinion:
"I have nothing to say about the system, just work hard. But Yan Shen, you also said before In the future, space will not be valuable, and several gigabytes will be worthless. Spending time researching compression algorithms will be less cost-effective. This is a view that everyone agrees on, and now that the network is 3G, everyone also believes that future infrastructure upgrades will be of little value. It is inevitable that the network speed will increase and the traffic will increase.
Wouldn’t this ultra-high compression algorithm be useless by then?” Reducing traffic and increasing loading speed will make sense until the Internet speed explodes completely," Li Yan replied instantly.
Then he said something that made everyone silent for a long time:
"If it is scrapped, it will be scrapped. As long as it can bring the picture era and even the video era ahead of schedule, it will have completed its mission."
Perhaps in Yan Shen's eyes, some remarkable achievements...are indeed nothing.
Chen Fan did not participate in this big discussion.
Because this kid is still in class, in fact, as a student selected for the excellence class, he can make the same request for "self-study" as Li Yan.
For example, for the three high school students in the group, due to the recommendation, as long as they are in school, the teachers no longer care whether they attend class or not. Even when they are in the computer room, no one cares about them.
However, it was obvious that Chen Fan had not yet adapted to this willful new identity, even though he was still studying the Mathematical Olympiad content by himself in class...
So when he returned to the dormitory, he I was dumbfounded when I turned on the computer.
"What big thing are you plotting behind my back?"
Li Yan, who was revising the finale over there, smiled and said, "You are plotting loudly in the group, right?"
>
Chen Fan was flipping through hundreds of messages. He was "lying in a big trough" at the beginning, then became more and more frightened as he read, then gradually calmed down, and finally exhaled a long breath.
Not a sigh.
"Eh, are you excited?"
"Hurry up and write your novel, didn't you say it has the finale?"
"E's readers are urging you to update offline. ?" Li Yan was a little surprised.
"Didn't you say that you should finish writing quickly and start a new journey? I'm so damn excited!"
"The revision will be completed in these two days."
"Hey, wait a minute," Chen Fan clicked on the Origin Chinese website again and found "Nangong Boy", "It's still a while before it's finished, right? How many words have you finished writing?"
"2.7 million words, no more, no less."
Chen Fan didn't understand what the phrase "no more, no less" meant, but his eyes widened. "You're a bad author. You only have 2.43 million words now. You saved the manuscript...you saved 300,000." ?”
"Recently, there are 10,000 updates per day, which only takes a month."
Kaiyuan also complained about him, saying that he had never seen anyone in a hurry to finish a book with explosive results.
Li Yan asked him why, and he hesitated again.
Lastly, I said that because the book can remain active during the update period, it can continue to be recommended, and the income can flow steadily.
And because there is no early explosion in subsequent subscriptions, the explosion may not bring many new readers. It will only take 10,000 by the time it is completed. It is not as good as four or five thousand a day now.
After it is finished, there is no opportunity to recommend it. At best, I will try it again and see the influence of this book in the future.
Li Yan only replied with two sentences:
"I am confident in its influence."
"Whether you push it after it is completed depends on the origin whether you want to make money."
At that time Kaiyuan frowned for a long time.
Unexpectedly, what Li Yan told him that the plot would continue to explode before the end was actually true. With the explosive plot and explosive updates, the origin of this book has never been a hot topic.
It has always been stuck at the top of the major lists, and it is a complete display of godhood.
And the discussion about the plot of this book can be described as crazy. The comment area exploded every day. Kaiyuan once thought that Li Yan had enlightened and finally checked the data, but found that all of them were real readers.
There are two big-name readers who waited until the end was almost over before falling into the trap. They lost control as soon as they saw it, and made bold words: "When you finish, you will go directly to the Golden Alliance."
Kidney Deficiency also replied They "want more silver."
So lively.
"It is also a big thing that needs to be done." Li Yan was still a little emotional. After all, it took more than a year. Before his rebirth, he could only write a novel of more than 100,000 words at most. Now that the second grade of junior high school is almost over, he will directly I wrote more than two million words...
A milestone.
This life is about constantly setting milestones.
One piece is bigger than the other, and each piece is more ruthless than the other.
"I remember you said you would go to Origin to attend the annual meeting at the end of the month?" After taking a shower, Li Ruofei heard Chen Fan chatting with Li Yan and asked suddenly.
“Yes.”
“Isn’t that just over?”
“Yes.”
“You didn’t do it on purpose...”
"Yes."
"What is this?" Li Ruofei didn't understand.
“For fame.” Li Yan replied, “I need something now... to prove myself and shock others’ fame.”
“You don’t have enough?...” Li Ruofei thought of Li Yan That Weibo account can be described as a response to a hundred calls.
"It's not enough. There's no point in just being a god among students." Li Yan said while revising the article. Multitasking has become commonplace for him, "I need to make people feel like The feeling of ‘Li Yan can do anything’”
"You can indeed do anything." Chen Fan added.
After learning that he was selected into the Excellence Class, Chen Fan became more active and interacted with Li Yan a lot more.
"Li Yan, do you think I should go to the teacher to apply for not attending class? The five of us in the group don't have to go through the big exam and have enough personal time before the next semester. I see you are What was said in the group made me feel excited. Time is so tight, so we can’t rely on after-school work, right?” he asked again.
“It doesn’t matter right now, wait a moment.”
“Huh?”
Li Yan stretched out, "When I finish the novel, I'll go find Boss Huang."
"Looking for him?"
"Let's talk about cooperation."
