Chapter 431 Lou Shouxing is back
Director Li patted Gao Zhendong on the shoulder and said, "Chief Engineer Gao, now I have a preliminary understanding of what you said. What does it mean to be of great significance?"
If Gao Zhendong was about the same age as him, even if Gao Zhendong was a whole grade lower than him, it would be difficult for him to pat his shoulder. Fortunately, one of Chief Engineer Gao's great advantages was that he was young, and they were old acquaintances, so it wasn't a big problem.
Chief Engineer Chi also sighed: "With this operating system, computers are no longer exclusive to professionals. Even people who are not familiar with computers can use computers well as long as they have a talent for programming and learn some basic knowledge of operating systems."
There are not so many application software in various industries now, and using a computer is basically programming.
Gao Zhendong said: "The significance of the operating system is more than that. It isolates the underlying computer hardware from the user. In this case, the upgrading of computer hardware will not cause the depreciation of the user's skills. As long as the relevant drivers are updated for the new hardware, the computer will not change for the user. It is just more functions or stronger performance. The pressure for system updates is concentrated from all users to hardware researchers, driver developers and operating system compilers, which greatly reduces the cost and difficulty of social use."
After listening to Gao Zhendong's words, Director Li and Chief Engineer Chi thought that this was indeed true. They had only focused on the existing part, but they did not expect that Gao Zhendong had already begun to look at the problem from a dynamic perspective and develop computer system software.
All of a sudden, they both became more interested in this thing: "What else? I think this thing is extraordinary."
Gao Zhendong was well prepared: "To be honest, there are quite a lot of them, and there are many new concepts, new definitions, and new technologies in them."
Director Li and the others understood - you don’t even know the basics of this stuff now, so I can’t explain it clearly, and even if I do, you won’t really understand it.
Chief Engineer Chi smiled and said, "I know Chief Engineer Gao is always well prepared when doing things. Take them out. You must have some good matching things."
This is the downside of working together for a long time. People can figure out small things like this without even having to think.
Gao Zhendong took out an instruction manual, which could be considered as the operating instructions for this operating system.
"Director Li, Chief Engineer Chi, this thing has a lot of content, so I did prepare some things. This operating manual contains some basic definitions, concepts, and basic theories of the operating system. The rest is the function introduction and operating instructions, as well as the introduction of all operating instructions."
Director Li took it and said, "Okay, okay, I'll find someone to copy it and organize a study session."
Director Li felt sorry when he saw that the text had turned into a carbon paper printout. Ever since the printer was fixed, it became increasingly difficult to print Chief Engineer Gao's calligraphy.
After opening the materials and seeing the contents, I felt better. Well, these pictures are hand-painted, and they are also Mr. Gao’s calligraphy. They are valuable!
While they were reading with great interest, Gao Zhendong added: "There is not much content about specific technologies here. What I mean is that everyone should use it first and promote it within a feasible scope. Once everyone has a general idea of this thing, we can talk about specific technologies. This way it will be smoother."
As for why it can be promoted within a feasible range, it is mainly because this thing consumes storage and needs to be resident in memory. That is to say, even if it is stored on a tape, it still requires a certain number of magnetic cores or transistor memories as running memory when running, and some units' configurations cannot support it.
At the same time, there are some machines that are currently in use and running, with single functions and mature and stable dedicated software. From a safety perspective, it is not recommended to promote them, such as the batch used in the desert.
The reason why Gao Zhendong made such a suggestion is that if the people in the Institute of Computing were allowed to dive into the specific technologies of the operating system now, Gao Zhendong estimated that the results would not be very good, as they would have no idea at all. Many technologies would be very abstract and have no intuitive impression at all.
Moreover, Director Li, Chief Engineer Chi and others do not have a deep enough understanding of operating systems. It would be better for them to learn the basic theories first and then practice the operations. Only when they have a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities of this thing can they understand its significance.
To a certain extent, Gao Zhendong's performance can only be completed after Li, Chi and others have truly learned the operating system instructions.
Gao Zhendong: My family members understand. Even if you act cool, you have to be punished twice.
Chief Engineer Chi nodded repeatedly: "Well, your suggestion is very good. You can't get rich overnight. Let's digest and learn first. If we don't have a deep understanding, we can't do a good job of promotion, let alone expand and enrich it under your guidance."
This is a very artistic way of saying it. It guides, expands, and enriches, without even using words like perfect and improve. The attitude is very realistic.
Don't underestimate these words, they can be very fatal sometimes.
Gao Zhendong's mentor in his previous life once told him an experience: when you want to promote the transformation or update project of a certain system, under normal circumstances, you should never say in the necessity chapter how bad the system is and how it must be improved, even if it is really very bad.
Instead, we should use something like "Since the system was put into operation, it has been operating well and has strongly supported the work of xxx, xxx, etc. With the evolution of technology and the development of the situation, the original design functions and performance can no longer meet the work needs under the current situation." As for the reason, Gao Zhendong thought about it for a while before he understood.
After hearing his words, Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "I have completed the full compilation of this operating system for DJS-59, but for DJS-60D, some tailoring is still needed. I don't have time to do this work. At the same time, there is also the complete testing of the system, which still needs to be shouldered by the institute."
Director Li was delighted when he heard this. Chief Engineer Gao was still so thoughtful in doing things. No matter what the matter was, he always left a tail so that the institute could actually participate. As for today's thing, DJS-59 was done, so how could the simpler DJS-60D not be done?
How could someone who is capable of completing an entire system by himself fail to do the small tailoring work of a system he wrote himself?
Does he really lack this little bit of time? Impossible. If it were someone else, he would probably stay at home for a few months to keep everything on hand.
Anyway, this thing is like a scorpion's shit - unique (poisonous) and no one has the ability to compete with it in progress, so you can just finish it slowly and then take it out.
But they didn't do that. Instead, they left a tail, and it's a very affordable tail - the improvement of the DJS-60D's operating system. This is not a bad name.
I can only say that it is a pleasure to work with Chief Engineer Gao!
Of course, this is also inseparable from the institute's long-standing support for Chief Engineer Gao's work. Well, let's increase our efforts!
Director Li immediately expressed his opinion: "Okay, Mr. Gao, don't worry, we will leave this job to you. We will try our best to disturb you as little as possible or even not at all. You can give guidance and check when necessary."
This was exactly the effect Gao Zhendong wanted, and he nodded in approval.
Chief Engineer Chi looked at Gao Zhendong's materials and felt that something was missing. After looking at them for a while, he finally remembered: "Mr. Gao, does this operating system have a name?"
Gao Zhendong was a little embarrassed. He used "OS" as the abbreviation throughout the article. What is the name? It doesn't exist.
But he did have a solution: "Well, I'm too busy to take care of it. Besides, I'm not good at this. So, we have to report the project anyway, so let's report the fact that we haven't come up with a name to your 12th Ministry of Machinery and ask them to come up with one. They should be more thorough in considering this."
Acting first and reporting later is not a good thing in some cases, but when it comes to something like an operating system, the Twelve Ministry of Machine Building is eager to get it. The two people from the Institute of Computing naturally know this, and a new project is secured.
Director Li and Chief Engineer Chi looked at each other and smiled in a rather amusing way: "Okay!"
The three of them smiled at each other, saying nothing.
As for why we didn't report to the 17th Ministry of Machine Building at the same time and asked both sides to come up with a name together, firstly, our majors were not related, so there was no need. The 17th Ministry of Machine Building had Gao Zhendong here, so they didn't lack this.
Secondly, if you bother two people with the same issue, that would be unpleasant. This is a taboo and has nothing to do with the other person's character.
Seventeenth Ministry of Machine Building: It’s okay. We have at least half of the medals of honor.
After all this trouble, it was almost time for lunch and the operation office had already made arrangements.
Gao Zhendong was not polite either. During the meal, he specially called Wu Shengyuan and three others to come and eat with him. It was just a work lunch and there was no need to be too particular.
This was also a way to give his own people face and show their importance. Without saying anything more, the computing office would naturally know how to deal with it.
Wu Shengyuan and the other two looked very excited. Although they didn't drink any alcohol, their faces were as red as if they had.
Today's incident finally gave them a direct understanding of Senior Brother Gao's position in this industry.
It can be said that as long as nothing unexpected happens, the three of them will definitely have a bright future in the computer industry.
After the meal, he encouraged his three younger classmates in the factory, and then boarded the GAZ-69, led by Li and Chi from the Operation Institute to see him off.
Wu Shengyuan and three others were also in the crowd seeing Gao Zhendong off. They watched Gao Zhendong sitting in the jeep and disappearing around the corner of the street. The three of them looked at each other. Ma Juan even stuck out her tongue. She didn't expect that Chief Engineer Gao would even have a car?
Gao Zhendong returned to the factory and received a call from Lou's father.
——Lou Shouxing will be back soon, on Saturday.
The Bailing Electronics Show closed on September 9, and Lou Shouxing immediately arranged a trip back to Hong Kong Island.
Before the exhibition, he had already visited all the places in Europe that needed to be visited. As soon as the exhibition was over, he knew that Gao Zhendong was looking for him, so he immediately flew back to Hong Kong Island, and then arranged to return to Beijing.
