The Gnu Project is a free software collective collaboration project initiated by Richard Storman, a well-known American hacker, in 1983. His goal is to create a completely free operating system Gnu.

Richard Storman is very charismatic and capable of leadership. Under his leadership, the Gnu plan went very smoothly. After years of development, he has developed the text editor EMAS, the C language editor GCC, and most Unix systems libraries and tools.

But the only core operating system has been developed since 1990, but it has never been successfully developed.

The reason may be that many programmers who participate in the GNU program are just part-time working in program development, lacking support from funds and resources, and lacking the joint cooperation of team members, which leads to serious backwardness in the R&D process.

Of course, Linus Torvaz is an extremely genius and is a master of the global computer industry. Such gods and people are good at creating miracles and cannot be inferred by common sense.

For example, he developed the world's best distributed version control system git in ten days. This system can effectively and quickly process project version management from very small to very large.

How easy is this system to use? Even Microsoft has abandoned its own VSS operating system and switched to git to develop the Indos system.

The Genius Laboratory in Summer has gathered more than 30 top computer engineers in the United States, plus Shanghai's resources and financial support, and finally developed the genius system in nearly a year, which is very rare.

...

Xia Tian personally asked Richard Storman to meet and demonstrated the genius system to him on-site.

After receiving Xia Tian’s invitation, Richard Storman was a little surprised. He works in computers, while Xia Tian works in movies, and he doesn’t know what Xia Tian wants to do.

However, for curiosity, he went on a summer date.

When Xia Tian saw Richard Storman, he was stunned.

He originally thought that Richard Storman, as the world's top computer genius, would be a pale skin and thin body. Although he was wearing glasses, his eyes still shone with a wise light.

But unexpectedly, Richard Stourmann is a rough man with a beard and tall figure.

Jia Baoyu actually became Li Kui, and Xia Tian said that he wanted to be quiet.

"Hello, Mr. Storman, I'm Xiatian, I'm so happy to see you." Xiatian was stunned for a moment, then greeted enthusiastically.

If he wants to promote the genius system, then Richard Storman will be his best arm support, of course he should be more enthusiastic.

"Hello, Mr. Xia." Richard Storman shook hands with Xia Tian, ​​but his emotions were calm.

It is said that people do not ask for anything. Although summer is the world's top rich man, Richard Storman has nothing to ask for, so naturally he does not have to act like he is flattered.

"Mr. Xia, I wonder what's wrong with you asking me to come?" he asked directly.

To be honest, he really doesn't understand what Xia Tian will do to him. Do you want to adapt his story into a movie?!

"That's right, I have an operating system that I want to introduce to you." Xia Tian smiled.

"Operating system?!" Richard Storman looked Xia Tian up and down several times, but he really couldn't figure out what kind of relationship he could have with computers, a movie-making person.

This is completely different.

"Yes." Xia Tian noticed his expression, knew that he didn't believe him, and nodded with a smile, then instructed the expert to start the computer.

Richard Storman looked at it curiously, and the more he looked, the more he looked, the more he looked solemn.

Xia Tian actually knows nothing about the current computer, and he can't understand any of the command lines.

However, Richard Storman could see that this is a very good operating system. Although it is still just a prototype and lacks many applications, it is very desirable in file management, memory configuration, computing resource allocation, etc., which is eye-catching.

An hour later, the expert demonstration was completed.

Richard Storman couldn't help but applaud it. Today he was really excited to see such an excellent operating system. That mood was like a calligraphy and painting enthusiast suddenly saw the original works of Wang Xizhi and Wu Daozi.

"Mr. Storman, do you think this operating system is OK?" Xia Tian asked with a smile.

Storman nodded.

Although this operating system is just a prototype, he believes that if it continues to be developed, it will definitely become a very outstanding system.

"I want to support your leader's gnu plan and share this operating system for free." Xia Tian smiled, "I wonder if you are welcome?"

"Really, Mr. Xia, are you really willing to do this?" Richard Storman asked in surprise.

"Of course, I can even donate the source code." Xia Tian nodded and smiled, "I think computers are the greatest invention in human history. They will affect everyone's life and greatly change the face of the whole world.

As the brain of a computer, the operating system is crucial, but it is bound by copyright laws, which seriously affects its application and promotion. I think this is a very regrettable thing.

So I want to make this operating system public for free to everyone. Everyone can use this operating system to develop applications in it for free, so as to change the whole world and improve people's lives."

"Wow!" Richard Storman was shocked after hearing Xia Tian's words and immediately attracted him as his confidant.

Richard Storman is an advocate of the free software movement, actively promoting the free sharing of software, and is hailed as a fighter and great idealist for today's free software.

Now Jian Xia Tian is also a supporter of the free software theory, and what he said makes so reasonable, which really makes him very happy.

Moreover, he has led the Gnu project for many years and has developed many applications, but the most critical operating system has not been developed yet.

Now that he has the operating system of Summer, everything is ready. His Gnu plan has finally achieved results, how could he not be very happy?

"Mr. Xia, thank you, thank you so much!" Storman said, holding Xia Tian's hand tightly.

"You have to be welcome. You have done so much work and put in so much effort and sweat for the free software movement. You are my role model!" Xia Tian smiled.

Storman laughed even happier when he heard him say this.

"Mr. Storman, I know that this operating system is relatively simple and needs to be further improved. In addition, more applications need to be added to better attract users.

So I decided to donate $100 million to reward programmers or companies who have made outstanding contributions to the development of this operating system and the development of application software." Xia Tian smiled again.

The genius operating system is now just a prototype. To improve it and develop applications for it, a lot of manpower and material resources are required.

Although there are many people who support the Gnu program, it is difficult to make them devote themselves to it for a long time by relying on temporary passion. After all, people cannot live by relying solely on their ideals, and they must not be missing either food, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

The rewards of having money will make many people tempted. Many companies may even invest in it because they want to earn bonuses, which will greatly increase the development speed of the genius operating system.

The faster this system is developed, the more beneficial it will be for summer. Because Microsoft has launched indos3.0, this operating system is very popular and has the momentum of unifying the operating system.

If summer doesn't hurry up and launch a genius operating system comparable to it as soon as possible, then it will only be Microsoft's falling further and further away, one step slower and one step slower.

Richard Storman was even happier when he heard Xia Tian say this.

He founded the Free Software Fund in 1985 and worked hard to promote software liberalization. However, due to the rise of commercial software vendors such as Microsoft, Oracle, and adobe, the Free Software Movement was coldly accepted, and his Free Software Fund was not enough to make ends meet. If he wanted to hire more programmers to develop software, he could not afford his salary.

Now with the summer of this million dollars, he can do a lot.

"Mr. Xia, thank you for your contribution to the Free Software Movement." Storman said with infinite gratitude.
Chapter completed!
