Chapter 341 Be prepared for danger in times of peace
The only one who dares to say that the Windows system is not excellent is Turing. He is the originator of computers and has been strengthened after being upgraded by the Singularity Laboratory. He is definitely qualified to say this.
"Office applications should try to avoid those overly rigid functions of Microsoft and solve the problems that people are most concerned about from the user's perspective. Regarding this, I suggest judging it through the data collected by the existing Coco Assistant."
Lu Shan nodded repeatedly: "Good idea! Coco Assistant has been used for so long, and has collected a large enough sample size for everyone's daily problems. It is very representative."
"If possible, we should let Coco Assistant collect what features people dislike about Microsoft Office software, and we should try not to include them again, so that we don't have to cancel them in the future." Turing added again.
"Okay! Anything else to add?"
"Yes!" Turing started talking. Poincare had grabbed a handful of melon seeds and sat next to him to watch the fun, eating them and listening.
Turing looked at him, and Poincare shrugged: "I'm running the data, it takes a while, don't worry about me, just blow it."
"What do you mean by bragging? Those are all feasible options!" Turing was very dissatisfied.
"Before it's realized, it's just bragging. Now it hasn't been realized yet!"
"Uh!" Turing was speechless for a moment. There was nothing wrong with this logic.
Turing had no choice but to ignore Poincare and continue to explain his ideas.
"The second key point is to commercialize the Endless Compiler and integrate it with the Zemeng system. Our Coco Assistant has already opened up the market for ordinary people, so the Endless Compiler will open up the more specialized market."
Lu Shan agreed with this deeply. He understood what it meant as soon as he heard it.
Office software is needed by everyone. The usage threshold is not high and the Windows system can handle it.
Zemeng develops its own office application in order to make it stronger and more refined and seize the market.
But in the broad professional field, there is a blank market.
Let me explain it this way. For example, the accounting industry needs its own professional software to make it easier for people in this industry to do their accounting and deal with accounting issues. This software is called Moudie in China.
Once the Endless Compiler is open, some people will develop their own accounting software.
What's the point? It's to save costs. The annual usage fee of a certain butterfly is sky-high. If you don't use it, there is a high probability that the accounting will be wrong. They specialize in this.
Generally speaking, no one can really defeat a certain butterfly, but with the endless compiler, this matter is hard to say.
With the support of the Endless Compiler, newer and better accounting software may appear.
To put it in a broader sense, huge software application development companies are in urgent need of endless compilers. They have to develop software for accounting, finance, games, entertainment, composition, painting, advertising and other industries.
The original development cost was too high, resulting in many software being outdated and rigid. This is because it costs too much money and no one upgrades. Users just have to suffer, and there are no competitors, so there is no need to upgrade.
Faced with such a situation, the Endless Compiler, which can reduce development costs to a minimum, is simply a magical tool.
Once the professional market for such software application companies is opened, the ecological chain will be better protected, and everyone will move closer to Zemeng when designing and developing software in the future.
In fact, it is not possible not to get close! The programs compiled with the help of the Endless Compiler are definitely adapted to the Zemeng system. In this way, the software applications developed with the Endless Compiler can be used on Zemeng without special testing, but other systems cannot be used!
As time goes by, the vast consumer groups and software application development companies will gradually turn to the Zemeng system.
"The Endless commercial version must be weakened before it can be launched on the market to ensure our technological leadership."
"This is natural. A sharp blade can only be used against others, not against oneself."
"There is also a third aspect, which is to leave more applications to commercial development. This is actually a supplement to the previous point.
After we release the Endless Compiler, there will definitely be many software application development companies using it. At that time, we can give them orders to do, or we can let them develop on their own based on customer needs.
Then put the developed software into a unified application store to form a healthy community.”
“You mean, a unified app store allows users to have a dialogue with potential developers and exchange their experience and requirements?”
"Yes, it is the derivative of what Xiaguo used to call Tieba and the forum. That one is based on a webpage, while this one is directly made into a software application. It is very convenient to search for what you want on the computer and mobile phone."
Turing has obviously put in a lot of effort. He continued to explain: "In this way, personalization can also be ensured. Coco Assistant provides personalized services within the system, Endless Compiler provides industry-specific personalized services after commercialization, and the App Store focuses on more niche and subtle personalized services."
Lu Shan was really in awe this time. Smart people are smart people. They learn things quickly. Some ideas were not even thought of by Turing himself, but were supplemented by him.
"Have you got everything ready?"
Turing smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, you are right. Take a look."
Lu Shan really didn't expect Turing to move so quickly. He thought it was just a hypothesis. He didn't expect that the pre-swing of the ultimate move was already completed and could be unleashed at any time.
All the preliminary work has been completed, including the commercial version of the Endless Compiler, the initial computer and mobile versions of the operating system, and even the unified app store has been integrated into the Coco Assistant. It will be easy to turn it into an independent software application later.
"Um...Mr. Lu, we still have some difficulties. You have to find a way to solve it as soon as possible." Turing poured some cold water on Lu Shan's enthusiasm.
"Please speak." Lu Shan listened to both sides and understood the situation.
"The biggest problem at the moment is that the CPU can't keep up." When Turing said this, Lu Shan understood what he meant. They were all smart people, so it was easy for them to communicate.
Coco has been on the market for a while. When controlling the operating system, it is also a process of collecting different usage behaviors of each user. Such a sophisticated assistance is still a process of infinite accumulation. How much pressure will the CPU of the computer itself have? This is a process with no upper limit.
Furthermore! Coco Assistant is connected to the Internet. After you have learned enough and accumulated enough experience,
As the number of users increases and the coverage of the operating system and ecological chain also increases, Coco Assistant will reach a very advanced level and be infinitely close to artificial intelligence.
In this way, the computing power of the computer's own CPU is high, and a bad chip will definitely not work. If you want to use it reluctantly, you may have to do some subtraction on the coco assistant and reduce its intelligence, otherwise it really can't be fixed.
Turing wanted Lu Shan to improve the CPU of the magic ship, or even better, to develop a super chip himself, otherwise no matter how good the systems of Coco and Zemeng were, they would not be able to exert their full effects.
Lu Shan agreed with Turing's opinion. He also understood the matter very well, but it was really difficult to deal with.
The most difficult problem is the one where you know the answer but cannot do it. Everyone knows that banks have money, but you cannot rob them.
It is not so easy to develop chips. Even though Lu Shan now has a lot of hard technology, he is still limited by the existing industrial level.
Chips have never been the business of a single company, but rather the business of a country or even a cultural circle. It took the Westerners working together to come up with the theoretical technology, and it took the whole world working together to come up with the chips.
It is conceivable that it would be very difficult for Lu Shan to develop chips by himself, as a company would have to deal with the affairs of a country. So this matter still needs to be considered in the long run.
"On the other hand, there is the problem of the ecological chain. Currently, the software and applications on the market are basically adapted to the Windows system, not the Zemeng system. I don't have the energy to optimize those software and applications one by one. You have to find a way yourself."
After Turing finished explaining what he wanted to say, he turned around and saw Poincare still eating sunflower seeds, with the shells scattered all over the floor. He immediately felt blood rushing to his head.
Although the Singularity Laboratory cleans up all dirt and odors at midnight every day, Turing is a clean person and can't help cleaning whenever he sees mess.
But today, Turing snatched the melon seeds from Poincare's hand, cracked them himself, and spit them on the ground while cracking them!
He kept muttering, "It turns out that being so uncultured sometimes feels so good!"
Lu Shan has already left, otherwise Turing would not be able to let go.
Facing the stunned Poincare, Turing clapped his hands and said, "What are you looking at? Just scan it. I usually do the scanning. Humph!"
Poincare didn't think twice and just did as he was told.
The next day, Turing returned to his dead self, as if the uncultured Turing from yesterday had his second personality come out.
Mary was in another lab reading a book on nuclear physics and had no time to pay attention to these two funny people.
Lu Shan returned to the real world with the mobile phone and computer versions of the Zemeng operating system, as well as the commercial Endless Compiler, and quickly convened a meeting with executives and technical backbones to discuss what Turing had said.
Unconventionally, Lu Shan did not directly say that the system had been developed, but instead took precautions and gave employees a heads-up.
"Coco Assistant has received a lot of praise in the market, which is a direct reflection of everyone's work results. But the biggest problem is... Luo Xuan, can you tell me what the biggest problem is?" Lu Shan called Luo Xuan's name. This guy is more of a scientific research fanatic than himself.
Luo Xuan looked bewildered. "Is there anything wrong? I haven't seen any bug reports. It runs smoothly and is highly compatible with the system. Mr. Lu, have you discovered any backdoor risks in Coco Assistant?"
As expected of Luo Xuan, his temper was still the same, and he was indeed one of Lu Shan's most trusted technical executives. Lu Shan also knew Luo Xuan's temper, so he didn't ask any more questions.
He glanced at the others and asked, "Any other ideas?"
Everyone was talking about all sorts of things, most of which were minor issues that were harmless. Some people even thought that Lu Shan wanted to make more money, but he just couldn't say it out loud, so one employee said: "The biggest problem with Coco Assistant is that it doesn't charge."
Lu Shan suddenly found it funny and asked another question: "Why?"
To be honest, this person's brain is faster than his mouth. He didn't expect that Lu Shan would ask him another question, so he made up excuses on the spot.
"Because, because things are too easy to obtain, people will not cherish them. Coco is such a good assistant, but some people are still not satisfied and make unrealistic demands. Well, that's it..." The story could not go on and the employee was embarrassed.
The people at the scene tried to hold back their laughter. This was what happened because they were forced to do something they were not prepared for. However, this was also the thought of some employees.
Coco Assistant is indeed easy to use, but some people are still not satisfied with it and keep making random requests. Some even frequently attack Coco Assistant.
This kind of person may not be sent by competitors to destroy Coco's reputation. It is possible that he is a so-called studio that creates trouble to attract clicks.
At this time, someone said, "Don't put your feelings about love on the product..."
The employees, who were already unable to hold back their laughter, all burst into laughter. How come this sounded so apt!
Lu Shan never stopped such harmless jokes. He was not a tyrant, and young people should have the aura of youth.
After laughing for a while, Lu Shan smiled and waved his hand, quieting the meeting.
Then he gave the answer: "The biggest problem with Coco is that it uses the Windows system as a carrier. Any adjustments we make to Coco must take into account the characteristics of the Windows system itself, which will restrict our actions.
The problem now is obvious. Coco is smart enough, but the Windows system is not smart enough. It can no longer bring out the performance of Coco Assistant. We even want to simplify the code of Coco Assistant and make it easier for the Windows system to understand. This is not a developmental way of thinking. What do you think? "
The employees of Zemeng all had serious expressions on their faces. They were all experiencing what Lu Shan was talking about, so they understood it immediately.
"We are going to develop the Zemeng operating system and no longer use the Win system as a carrier to better bring out the functions of the Coco Assistant!" Lu Shan finally announced the decision.
He did this after careful consideration. If he had taken them out at the beginning, the whole process would have been very abrupt, and Lu Shan would not have been able to explain why he could produce so many things so quickly by himself.
Lu Shan is already the boss of the group. Daily operations are busy enough, and he also has to take into account the research of multiple companies. On average, the time and energy allocated to each company every day is extremely limited.
It would be too eye-catching and against the rules to just show the results.
Furthermore! Lu Shan didn't want to produce the results himself and let everyone use and maintain them directly. This would indeed save trouble, but how could the technology be spread and passed on to employees?
No matter how powerful Lu Shan is, he is only powerful as an individual. How much use can one person have?
When the projects become more complex and difficult in the future, Lu Shan must have a large number of excellent helpers to assist him. And excellent helpers need time and opportunities to be trained.
Employees must be involved in the research and development process, familiarize themselves with every detail of the technology, and cultivate various types of talents and assign them to each link.
