Revisiting Future Path

Chapter 234: pressure

Pressure 234

If Spring and Autumn Translators erase the language isolation, from China to Britain, Canada to Argentina, and people from all over the world communicate freely, what kind of future will it be? It may be good or bad, but it is definitely not what it is today.

Thinking of the uncontrollable future, Ji Susu couldn't help showing a trace of longing.

Five years of elementary school and six years of middle school, Ji Susu's vision was trapped in the small town of Wuping, and it was strange to see computers in Internet cafes; for four years in college, Ji Susu opened his eyes in Yanjing to see the world, ignorantly aware of what he was living in. The great era; when it comes to Spring and Autumn Search, both the brain-computer fusion project and the logical language of the natural language processing branch are at the forefront of the times, Ji Susu clearly smells a hint of the future.

Middle school is the past, university is the present, and spring and autumn search is the future.

Ji Susu faintly came up with this understanding: Spring and Autumn Search has not changed her less than four years of undergraduate.

Time moved forward, Ji Susu hobbled to adapt to a work law that was completely different from school. The tasks Ji Susu took over were the brain-computer fusion project emphasized by Wei Dongsheng and the Spring-Autumn translation based on the logic of the same language. The former is the most important but takes a shorter time; Ji Susu uses the rest time between one round of experiment and the next. To get familiar with the work of Spring and Autumn Translation.

The two jobs are completely different in nature, and the degree of confidentiality is also completely different.

The brain-computer fusion project is semi-confidential. The financial statements of the Spring and Autumn Search announced the project's capital expenditure and approximate progress. The specific theory and technology are temporarily controlled in the Jinguangdong Laboratory. The Tongyu concept was launched all over the world and was officially launched after the major version update on September 9, 2009. Spring and Autumn Translation does not have the public opinion hyping up the concept of the same language, but focuses on the content, that is, to show the charm of the concept of the same language through practice. Considering the lack of "literary talent" in same-language instant translation, the first round of promotion selected online novels that mainly told stories and had a low literary threshold.

Chunqiu Translation and Chunqiu Literature jointly selected a batch of online novels with relatively high popularity and simple structure, or persuaded the original author, or hired a swordsman at a price of 20 to 50 yuan per thousand characters, and modified the online novels into Chinese style. language. After the Spring and Autumn Literature has been verified, it will be translated into English, French, and Spanish versions through the Spring and Autumn Translation, and quietly put it on the market to observe the effect.

Santa Clara, California, USA (Santa_Clara).

Kevin_Lupton has been in a bad mood recently.

Kevin is a software engineer working for Intel.

The source of Kevin’s bad mood is Intel. Intel has been in a bad light in recent months. Kevin is trembling every day for fear that he will suddenly receive a notice of dismissal; the source of Intel’s bad current situation is Zhiyu. The smartphone overtaking strategy on corners has brought a stormy impact to Intel. .

Six years ago, Wei Dongsheng registered the Smart Universe Group.

At that time, Kevin didn't know who Wei Dongsheng was, which onion or garlic Zhiyu was, and he didn't even have an accurate geographic concept of China in Asia or Africa.

Intel didn't take Zhiyu seriously at the time. When Xiao Lei's team purchased chips from Intel to assemble and develop the supercomputer Cambrian 2004, Intel secretly mocked Zhiyu's ambitions and was too lazy to follow up and cooperate. It wasn't until the supercomputers Cambrian 2004A, Cambrian 2004B, Cambrian 2004C, and Cambrian 2004D kept breaking new records that Intel began to pay attention to its cooperation with Zhiyu, hoping to exchange cutting-edge technologies to tap the potential of chips.

However, supercomputers are only one of the directions of chip demand after all, and Intel has no intention to develop supercomputers. The cooperation between it and Zhiyu is very simple. Compared to supercomputers, Intel values ​​the mobile layout more and wants to promote its WIFI standard. When Zhiyu Group establishes a subsidiary of Zhiyu Telecom, and cooperates with Datang Telecom and China Mobile to integrate the WiPi standard, a wireless LAN solution with independent intellectual property rights, into the TD-SCDMA standard, the WiPi Industry Alliance led by Zhiyu will replace WAPI led by Xidian Jietong Industry alliances have become Intel's thorns. The reason why Intel later "blinded" the US Department of Commerce's ban on the sale of high-end chips was also a cautious thinking of revenge on Zhiyu Telecom's WiPi standard.

However, Intel’s ban and retaliation are all paper tigers.

From 2006 to 2009, Zhiyu Information Industry launched a series of domestic supercomputers represented by Cambrian 2007.

Take a look at the recent June 2009 ranking of the top 500 supercomputers in the world. One Cambrian 2009 dominated the list; three Cambrian 2008 monopolized the second, third, and fourth place; two Cambrian 2007 continued to monopolize the fifth and sixth place; until the seventh place did IBM appear as the supercomputer Roadrunner; the eighth place is also the United States, the Jaguar supercomputer developed by Lake Company Computer; the ninth place flashes the Chinese symbol, the former champion Cambrian 2004D; the tenth place is the Jugene developed by IBM for Germany.

For the top ten supercomputers in the world, Zhiyu Information Industry won seven places and took the top six with an absolute advantage.

Moreover, since the Cambrian 2004B first glimpsed the top 500 global supercomputers, from 2004 to 2009, only the new generation of Cambrian can continue to break records. The work IBM desperately chased-Roadrunner, even the Cambrian 2007 work by Zhiyu Information Industry two years ago is beyond the reach. The Cambrian series of supercomputers not only continued to prove the strength of Zhiyu's information industry, but also gradually became a cultural symbol of the new century of China: Kevin took China seriously for the first time because he admired the success of China's supercomputer business.

Wireless LAN standards are similarly one-sided. The Sapientia series of smart phones are a breakthrough to activate the marketization of wireless LANs. At this moment, WiPi hotspots are everywhere in China.

It can be said that Intel’s ban on sales, retaliation, and refusal to cooperate, the effect is basically zero.

However, Intel is a CPU manufacturer after all, and CPU is its main business. Before 2007, Intel was jealous of the success of the Cambrian series of supercomputers and hated the WAPI standard advocated by Xidian Jietong and the WiPi standard advocated by Zhiyu Telecom, but did not think that Zhiyu could threaten its position.

In the era of Zhiyu's rise, Intel's biggest enemy is AMD. 2004 to 2006 was AMD’s most glorious two years, 64-bit, true dual-core, high performance and low power consumption, AMD has earned the world's attention. When AMD is strong, Intel will be weak. When Intel is in danger, Paul_Otellini urgently takes the post of Intel’s fifth CEO. After Otellini took control of Intel, he first set off a storm of layoffs to cut expenses, and then reorganized the business to give Intel a new lease of life. Otellini's strategy is quite effective. The blockbuster product Core 2 (core_2) launched in July 2006 killed AMD in one fell swoop and returned to the market leader.

However, a triumphant victory is often the moment when a new round of decline is unveiled.

In 2007, Zhiyu launched Sapientia_3G in China, and Apple launched the iPhone in the United States. Multi-touch capacitive screen smartphones are shining strongly. From 2007 to 2009, the market share of Nokia's Symbian smartphone market declined month by month. Recently, it was even rumored that Nokia will experience its first quarterly loss in more than a decade in the third quarter of 2009. Even if smart phone manufacturers do not admit that multi-touch capacitive screens are the future trend, they are aware that Nokia, the elephant, seems a bit clumsy.

As a CPU manufacturer, Intel has slowly realized the impact of smartphones.

2009 was the most chaotic year in the smartphone market.

Perceiving that there is a terrible room for growth in smartphones, big giants and small gluttons are ready to enter the market to grab food. The importance of the operating system is self-evident. Apple launched iOS; Zhiyu launched zOS; Google launched Android; Microsoft promoted its Windows_CE; Samsung launched BADA; China Unicom launched UPhone; China Mobile launched OPhone... …Everyone wants to lay out a share in advance. The competition in hardware is equally fierce, and everyone wants to overtake the processor manufacturing business.

Intel, the world's largest personal computer CPU manufacturer, regrettably lags behind in this competition.

Intel certainly is not willing to give up the market.

Intel will also enter the smartphone market. In order to cut into the smartphone market, Intel decided to take a two-step strategy. The first step was to acquire Infineon from the former Siemens Group’s semiconductor division to make up for the two-year technical lag; the second step was to miss a multi-touch capacitive screen. Nokia, the declining king, joined forces to launch a new mobile terminal operating system MeeGo.

The hardware and operating system move forward simultaneously, which was the root of Intel's rise.

However, the times are different.

The idea is good, the reality is difficult, Intel’s crisis is getting more and more serious.

In order to enter the smart phone market lightly, Intel head Otellini may start a new round of layoffs. Kevin Rupp may be the victim of a layoff storm. In fact, Kevin has already felt the malice of the world, and his rewards and salaries have shrunk by more than half, which directly led to a sharp decline in his income. Kevin is accustomed to advancing the pace of consumption. Although he has a high salary that Chinese programmers envy, he saves less than a Chinese farmer. He has to set aside his monthly salary to repay various loans. Encountered a sudden drop in salary, Kevin suddenly fell into a dilemma of making ends meet.

Even more frightening is the pressure of survival.

The shadow of the financial crisis has not completely dissipated, and there are too many jobs, so Kevin would not dare to resign rashly and find a new job. Perhaps because of too much pressure, Kevin and his girlfriend completely fell out at a disagreement, depressed to resume their single life. The survival pressure of being unemployed at any time, the emotional frustration caused by the broken relationship, Kevin's mood is extremely low, and he even has to resort to some illegal drugs to self-anaesthetize him when he can't sleep late at night.
