Chapter 66 Pangu Server Operating System

According to the marketing department, as of now, the invitation letter from Huaxin Technology to developers of Hongmeng SPS system has been very few responses.

Wang Anran knew very well that this was because of the interests. When software companies did not see the development prospects of Hongmeng SSP system, they were unlikely to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to develop a set of software applied to new systems.

Of course, Qiu Baijun is an exception. The strong man's brain is not something that ordinary people can understand.

Wang Anran was not panicked at all. He was waiting for a news, a news that would completely turn the Hongmeng SSP system.

On the other hand, Powell, president of Microsoft Greater China, who is also in Yanjing, was delighted to see that the computers installed on the market with the Hongmeng S operating system have disappeared.

"Hi, Professor Calvin, we can have a good rest this weekend, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity in a while."

"Mr. Powell, is there a new plan at the headquarters?"

Powell nodded and said, "Although the damn Hongmeng SSP system has not been promoted under our control, this system is very popular among American computer enthusiasts. Some people are already accusing Microsoft of losing its creativity and lag behind this era!"

Calvin frowned slightly, and Ran Ran said to himself: "It is undeniable that it is indeed an excellent operating system. In the past two months, detailed test reports have also been released. The kernel of the Hongmeng SSP system completely adopts advanced structured functional design, and is even better than the Windows NT system in terms of stability.

Incredible, I really doubt where they got the technology, their creativity was amazing.”

Powell smiled and said, "Dr. Calvin, be amazed that it will become history. Microsoft is the future of this world."

"No!" Calvin continued: "There are two more things. I must explain, Mr. Powell, do you still remember the two mini programs that come with the Hongmeng SSP system?"

"You mean?"

"Video player and one-click restore system!"

Powell asked with a puzzled look: "With Microsoft's R&D capabilities, it's not difficult to develop a similar software!"

Calvin looked solemn and shook his head and said, "I have to sigh at the wisdom of Chinese people. Mr. Powell, let's talk about this video player first. The technology it uses is variable frame video compression and decoding technology, which is an innovation."

"Variable frame video compression...what decoding technology?"

"Yes, Mr. Powell, you know that the movie refreshes at least 24 images per second so that we can watch the video comfortably, but have you ever thought that when shooting a set of scenery in a movie, the picture is basically unmoving, so just refreshing two or three images is enough.

The core of this technology is to use different frame rates according to the degree of conversion of the movie screen, so the compression rate can be greatly improved and optimized to a level that can be played on the microcomputer."

Powell shrugged and smiled, "There is nothing in the world that Microsoft cannot solve. Professor Calvin, this is right."

"Yes, Mr. Powell, but my supervisor, Mr. Thomas, regretfully told me that the other party has registered a patent in the major countries. Do you know? They registered all thirty-seven ways of soft decoding as patents. Even if Microsoft can bypass it, the added code will prevent the software from running on the microcomputer!"

Powell was stunned for a moment.

How is it possible.

When did the Chinese have such technology? This frustrated him. When did Microsoft give in? He asked again: "Where is the one-click restoration?"

Calvin shook his head and said, "One-click restoration is even more innovative than variable frame video playback."

“…”

"Mr. Powell, you are familiar with the installation process of the operating system, the installation of Windows NT, from hardware detection to partitions to system file OPY to registry generation, to driver installation to system settings, and the technology used by the other party should be an installed system image, and the only thing it needs to do is to OPY."

Powell took a sip of water and asked, "Can such a system be stable without hardware detection, no partitions, and no drivers?"

Calvin continued: "So they chose a stable installed system and integrated the driver into the software. For this reason, they also developed a set of system detection and partitioning tools to integrate them into the one-click restore software."

Powell had nothing to say, and finally shrugged his shoulders and said to Calvin: "So, this one-click restoration, have they also registered a patent?"

Calvin nodded and said, "Mr. Powell, what we need to consider now is how to explain to Fantasy Technology's manufacturers. You know, in order to cut off the cooperation between Fantasy Technology and Huaxin Technology, they have paid a price of 20 million.

And our commitment to Fantasy Technology is to share video decoding and one-click restoration technology, and to provide technical support for their minicomputer workstation plans.”

"They at least have small machine technology, what else can they be dissatisfied with?" Powell sighed, feeling no desire to take a break, and said weakly: "Professor Calvin, you ruined my weekend, you have to take responsibility!"

Calvin waved his hand and expressed helplessness and continued: "The company launched the next generation of operating systems, probably to deal with this situation, but I doubt that this system is already qualified to be launched?"

Powell took a sip of water and said, "Professor Calvin, this is not something we are considering, but I am becoming more and more interested in this Huaxin Technology..."

…………

In order to maintain competitiveness in market competition, a mature enterprise will always focus on the market with mature products. The products being developed focus on the future, while the concept design focus on the future.

For the Hongmeng S microcomputer operating system, Wang Anran mainly strengthened network connection and system security.

In this generation, the system on the minicomputer workstation needs to be redesigned except for the same program interface as the microcomputer.

The reason is very simple, the target needs are different.

The main application of current minicomputers is workstation type, used for scientific computing, data simulation analysis and graphics image processing.

With the country's official access to the international Internet in 1994, the next few years will be a period of booming development of the country's Internet.

Correspondingly, the demand for network servers will inevitably develop rapidly.

Now in China, only Inspur is the only one in this field. In 1993, with the help of Singaporeans, Inspur developed China's first network server.

But it is just developed and it will take quite a while to put it into the market.

Wang Anran doesn't want the future server market to be controlled by foreign giants such as HP and Dell.

The next generation of server operating systems codenamed Pangu Pango S is also on the agenda.
