.

Yang Guoli typed the last line of code on the screen and completed the programming.

He felt a little tired and transferred the program to the boss's server. He used the burner brought by the host and saved the program on the CD-burning disc he brought with him. He closed the interactive programming window without debugging.

He made the design in an Internet cafe, which costs one dollar per hour, which is super expensive!

He just finished the programming and his head was a little dizzy. It would be better to save money and debug it later.

Internet cafes are an emerging industry, and there was no such service before 1992.

Huanyu.com has been released for many years. Most of the college students who have learned to surf the Internet while studying are addicted. When they are in school, they can use Huanyu's computers that sell half-sold half-sell to the school to surf the Internet in the dormitory.

But when they left school, they went to work. They realized that the price of a computer was something that young people who had just entered society dare not care about.

Chips, 486 compatible machines for domestic hard drives, also cost about 4,000 yuan! Even the older 386 is sold for more than 3,000 yuan, but if that thing is not used to expand the memory with a special memory card and install a graphics card, it is quite limited.

In this world, as long as there is demand, there will definitely be supply.

Internet cafes came into being, but here are charges per hour. Many people are still reluctant to pay this money. Only when they feel itchy in their hearts will come for a while. There are also many people who have only been half an hour.

Yang Guoli is not a rich man, he is a graduate student at Tsinghua University.

If it weren't for the fact that there was only one computer in the graduate dormitory, he wouldn't have been able to leave the Internet cafe.

He used to be at Nanjing Institute of Technology. He studied optoelectronics. After graduation, he was assigned to work in a research institute and helped others. Because he had a lot of free time, he gradually developed a strong interest in computer programming in his workplace through Huanyu.com.

There is an interactive programming software specially developed by Universal Corporation on the Internet, and there are detailed instructions for use.

In this way, relying on his excellent mathematical mind, Yang Guoli plunged into the ocean of interactive programming without any basic programming.

Although interactive programming is much more convenient than previous programming methods, it still requires a lot of underlying programming language knowledge. So Yang Guoli went back one by one, after learning interactive programming, and spent a year learning computer theory knowledge.

As he deepened his learning, he felt that he had lacked his foundation. He could not understand many deep programming theories at all.

After thinking about it, Yang Guoli was determined to change his career, change his career from the optoelectronics industry that he did not like, and went back to school to learn how to program computers firmly.

He buried his head in the sea of ​​books like he did when he was in the college entrance examination. After half a year of sudden study, he took the postgraduate entrance examination that year and was admitted to the graduate student in computer programming in Beihang University as he wished.

The country no longer pays wages for graduate students, and they need to earn all their tuition and living expenses by themselves.

Yang Guoli relies on his strengths in physics majoring in his graduate school and knows how to program. Through the introduction of colleagues in the original unit, he often writes application mini programs for some research units in Beijing. He earns some extra money and has a smooth income. He pays tuition and his own life. He can also save a little.

The most profitable thing here is to write R&D programs for these scientific research departments. But on the other hand, this is more difficult, tiring and cumbersome.

When writing a practical program for a scientific research department, you must first have a considerable understanding of their research process and data processing. There is no mistake in this. Also, the program is compiled to give land to those scientists. If they cannot meet their preferences and apply it in the format, they will definitely be rejected by the other party and they will not be able to get the money.

For example, Yang Guoli compiled this program this time, in order to understand the research process and scope of scientific researchers on the spot, he squatted on the spot and helped others with more than half a month before he started preparing it.

However, the program prepared in this way is indeed well received by customers.

He heard news from customers more than once and praised him very much. Including the other party's technical maintenance staff, he repeatedly said that although Xiao Yang's programming skills are not the highest, he is the one who knows the best and compiles the programs. He caters to the needs of scientific researchers to the greatest extent. All the customers who have worked with him have left a deep impression of his works. Whenever there are programming requirements in the unit, the first thing he thinks about is not those special software companies, but Yang Guoli.

Yang Guoli carefully put the carved semi-finished program CD into his schoolbag and hung it on his chest. This is two thousand yuan. As long as he takes two more programs, he can save enough money to buy a Pentium-the programming local man does not have his own computer. It's so painful!

Interactive programming software does not have high requirements for computers. However, adding a shell to the software will take up too much computer resources.

The word "cup" is a word that Yang Guoli only learned recently.

In order to avoid maliciously cracking by others and modifying and using it at will, many applications will add a layer of shell to their own software.

This shell is actually a compression program. When the application is started, the shell will be enabled first, and then restore the inner application. Or call some of its functions.

When a malicious customer cracks the program, he must first crack the shell encryption layer before he can get in touch with the application core.

Many shelling programs have been launched on the market, but Yang Guoli likes to use the most is the "black box" of Huanyu Company.

This is of course Yang Guoli’s potential favorable impression of Huanyu’s products, but on the other hand, this shelling software launched by Huanyu is also the best on the market.

The shelling software is achieved through compression and decompression, and combined with a dedicated key algorithm, it will inevitably reduce the speed of the application. On some low-end machines, this slowdown will be very obvious.

Universal's shelling program is extremely distinctive.

It is a Chinese character programming software that has never been out of the air. It is designed in the form of password calls.

The password is also Chinese characters.

A programmer needs to add a shell. He will use a novel he entered as a password book and compile a ten-word password by himself.

The number of Chinese characters makes it difficult for decryptors to crack the passwords set by designers.

Password calls disrupt the original program encoding. When executing, the source program is restored according to certain rules, which is almost no different from direct calls. Since the program run process is not compressed, the speed will basically not change.

The biggest highlight of Universal's shelling program is the Chinese encoding method it uses. There is no circulating programming software. No one knows what language it is designed in. It is of course possible to directly crack statically. As long as you have the patience to look at the line of machine code, no program can escape the anti-cracking.

However, this shelling program has reached a terrifying amount of 90 megabytes. Although many programmers have tracked the program process and claimed that the actual application part of the program should not exceed 10 megabytes, no one knows which program lines are used to confuse people?

Universal will launch a new version every year.

You have not cracked the old land case software, but they have launched a new land. Who has had nothing to do after eating? They have to work hard all day long to crack the source code of its machine on a software that only has one year of vitality?

When Yang Guoli used this shelling software, he found that the program occupied most of the system resources. After running the shelling software, he could hardly call other programs. He thought this was the reason for the poor performance of the machine. So although the price of Pentium was high, he still wanted to buy one.

In fact, this was designed by Universal Corporation on purpose.

Once the shelling software is started, it will automatically detect the performance of the machine. It will try every means to eat up all the resources of the computer. It will make it difficult to execute the cracking program that tracks the process. Force the other party to use the stupidest method and use static cracking methods to maximize the difficulty of the cracker.

This is very similar to a virus. A method of seizing resource. Therefore, when using the software package, Universal will ask users to disconnect the network and turn off the antivirus software to avoid causing false alarms.

No matter what machine Yang Guoli uses, this result will not be changed.

Yang Guoli packed the CD and prepared to check out. However, the Internet cafe owner told him that he had been more than three hours and ten minutes. So he had to charge three yuan and five yuan. If he was heartbroken, he could continue to use the machine for another twenty minutes.

He argued for a long time. The boss insisted on asking for 50 cents.

Yang Guoli raised his wrist and looked at his watch. He realized that it had just been more than three hours and eleven minutes. Obviously, the boss was cheating him just now. He wanted to have a big fight, but when he saw several male staff members in the Internet cafe surrounded him, the hero did not suffer any loss, and returned to the computer desk angrily. He decided to calculate the time and use enough time.

He opened a computer programming forum he often went to and found that it was already in chaos.

Instead of discussing program writing skills, everyone was arguing fiercely.

Countless posts are all about a matter of what happened. After several years of supplying domestic manufacturers, Huanyu Company finally launched its own whole machine!

Yang Guoli had long expected that Universal Company would launch its own whole machine.

As the number one high-tech technology group in China, Shengbian He graphics cards have entered the international market. They also have two or three years of experience in the design of processor chips and hard disks. In the server market, they have accumulated rich experience in motherboard design and have sufficient technical strength to launch their own whole machine.

But when he opened a post and took a look, he jumped up.

Because what Universal launched this time is not a 486,586-capacity chip, but a 64-bit processor!

This processor was named "Guoteng" by Universal Company!

In a computer processor, this bit represents the data length that the processor processes at one time.

Because computers were first invented by the West, and using eight-digit binary numbers can just represent commonly used English letters. Therefore, the computer's representation method is usually expressed in multiples of eight.

For example, the early 8086 and 8088 were eight-bit computers: the 286 chip, which was a sixteen-bit computer; the 386,486 and the Pentium launched by Intel are both thirty-two-bit computers.

This time, Universal launched a 64-bit processor computer, which is double the increase from Intel's processor!

Yang Guoli quickly flipped through the post. According to news from Universal, Guoteng processors still use the same 1.3 micron manufacturing technology as before, with 486 and Pentium one micron technology. There is still a gap.

But this only means that the integration level is slightly insufficient in silicon chips of the same size. The Guoteng chip launched by Universal is a circle larger than Intel's new film, and the chip voltage is slightly higher. Therefore, it can only be used on their specially made motherboards, and the two are not interchangeable.

To this end, Universal also stated that if customers have no objection, the motherboard and processor will be sold in bundled.

But in terms of performance, both have their own advantages.

Universal continues to be compatible with Intel's x86 instruction set, and has expanded the instruction set by itself by itself, and has added many multimedia processing instructions. While continuing to be compatible with the existing 32-bit software, it adds more possibilities for future expansion. If software providers, especially game designers, design the 64-bit processing characteristics of Guoteng, it will achieve very satisfactory results in the game.

Intel's 32-bit processors have always been known for their high quality and high stability. When processing 32-bit programs, they can achieve faster speeds than Universal's Guoteng chips.

It is difficult to tell which of the two is better.

From common sense, Intel relies on its dominant position in personal computers and has an absolute advantage that other companies cannot match in the personal computer market. There will inevitably be a lot of software vendors supporting Intel technology.

Although the Guoteng processor launched by Universal has great advantages in processing 64-bit data, if the software provider does not support it, its effect will not be outstanding. Even if the 64-bit processing method is used to speed up the data processing speed, it will at most draw with Intel.

It's too risky to develop software specifically for it!

The post Yang Guoli saw was fiercely debated about these two processors. From the content, everyone was able to take the lead in proposing 64-bit concepts for Universal Company and expanded the instruction set, maintaining the image of a technological pioneer that the company has always embodied. However, there are not many people who are optimistic about its prospects.

From thirty-two to sixty-four, the technology is not the biggest challenge. Intel can immediately take out its own 64-bit processor if it wants.

Moreover, if Intel also launches a 64-bit processor, it will definitely abandon the 64-bit extended instruction set formulated by the world. It will do another one.

When the two sides confront each other, the international software design will support one side without thinking about it. You can draw a conclusion.

But it is not necessarily true that Universal Corporation will be defeated. They are very smartly compatible with the original 32 programs, allowing as many users as possible to experience faster computers without eliminating the original programs. As soon as they released the wind, countless people in the forum were shouting slogans of supporting domestic products and waving flags and cheering for Universal Corporation.

Yang Guoli was also moved.

He quickly logged into a professional computer website. On the homepage, all the news that the 64 processors of Universal Teng were released were occupied.

Domestic professional media, computer experts, computer enthusiasts, and designers all express their own opinions.

Yang Guoli picked up several computer experts to read the articles. The articles talked about their views from various aspects such as manufacturing technology, instruction sets, embedded two-megapixel caches, etc. They agreed that Universal Company's idea was bold, and the processor itself was successful, but the future was bumpy.

He read the website's trial reviews of the processor again.

The website used the GT chip provided by Universal Corporation and compared it with Pentium chips, and used professional testing software to obtain the GT data. Universal's GT processor is slightly inferior to Intel chips under 32-bit programs.

Both sides run the same game. Because the game itself belongs to thirty-two, Guoteng is also at a disadvantage.

However, this game is also running through the 64-bit optimized version of Universal, and its speed has been significantly improved, which is even better than Intel!

As for Intel's Pentium chip, it cannot run 64-bit programs at all, so it cannot compare 64-bit with Guoteng chips.

Yang Guoli has forgotten that he only had less than twenty minutes to board the machine. If it exceeds it, it will cost extra money. He greedily looked at one report and carefully compared the opinions expressed by each comment. Of course, there are many of them who are Guoteng's drummers and Intel's propaganda staff. Both sides are on Huanyu.com, yelling at each other's chips, mocking each other's chips.

As for ordinary netizens on the Internet, although they are not optimistic about Guoteng's future, many people still say that as long as the price is not too expensive, they will buy Universal computers.

Anyway, Guoteng is also compatible with the original 32-bit software, so there will be no loss if you buy it.

More people are still worried that if Intel also launches 64-bit computers, those software manufacturers will have no new software to use after they turn to it.

Some of them seem to be calmly analyzing. Intel has always been arrogant and may not necessarily take Guoteng in the eyes. Even if they launch 64-bit computers, the mainstream models in the world are still 32-bit. Those software vendors want to turn to 64-bit computers that support Intel, and they dare not abandon their original users. Therefore, there is enough buffering time to allow everyone to experience the high-speed performance of 64-bit computers.

This is really true that the mother is right, and the mother is right.

From which aspect, there are all sufficient reasons, which makes it difficult for Yang Guoli to decide.

It was not until late at night that he didn't return to school and might be locked out of school. Yang Guoli dragged his body tiredly and willingly paid more online fees and rushed back to school.

When she stepped onto the steps of the graduate dormitory, Yang Guoli finally got rid of her inner struggle and made up her mind.

"As long as the price of Guoteng is not higher than that of Pentium, buy Guoteng! No matter what, this is a domestic product. The post is right. No matter how much international software vendors shoot Intel's horses, they will never give up their huge user base. What are they afraid of!"

When he thought that his support might add a little weight to Universal Company, Yang Guoli's heart flashed with joy.

If. If the computer was first invented by our country, if it was Universal...

With beautiful expectations, he opened the dormitory door.

It was pitch black inside. In order to prevent students from surfing the Internet all night or reading books, the school will open the shutter on time at 11 o'clock. There is only a dedicated line to the toilet, and there is a dim light bulb for students to use to use the toilet in the middle of the night.

Some students who work very hard will take a stool to the toilet after the lights are turned off, and read books and study.

Yang Guoli tiptoed into the dormitory, afraid of disturbing her roommate's rest.

Suddenly, from the upper bunk and the steel frame bed on the left, sat up a few black shadows: Everyone hasn't slept yet!

A black shadow jumped down on the upper bunk. Wang Ping said viciously: "Good boy, you came back so late, let's wait! He said, how do you plan to compensate us for mental losses?"

Yang Guoli apologized in the dark and said, "I'm really sorry, I disturbed my good dreams. Today, I saw a new Guoteng processor in the Internet cafe, which is still a 64-bit chip. I was fascinated by looking for articles online. I forgot about time, so I'm sorry. I have nothing to say. I'll take care of breakfast tomorrow. Just sleep in, and you'll get hot porridge and steamed buns when you wake up!"

Several people in the dormitory were joking, but I didn’t know if they were so happy because they knocked him.

"Hi! After reading these reports, what do you think? Haven't you wanted to buy a computer for a long time? Are you planning to buy a Guoteng?" Zhou Jun, who was on the lower bunk opposite, asked in a low voice. Although he was in the dark, he was still full of smiles.

"Yes! I thought about it on the way, as long as the price does not exceed Pentium, I will buy it! We can also be considered a patriotic behavior that supports domestic products!" Yang Guoli took off his bloated coat and had to go to bed and get into bed.

The three of them burst out and said in a slight manner:

"Then you'll buy it tomorrow! We already know the price. Guoteng's entire machine and monitor are only 5,000!

"You kid, you have a little conscience. It's worth the most of our night waiting for you!

"I agreed that I will buy it half a month later. No one is allowed to snatch it from me! Anyway, after the national gift, we earn more money in a month than we earn in a year, and we don't like this computer!"

Yang Guoli was stunned by the bed: "How do you know the price? I searched for a long time but didn't see the quote! Also, what can I earn in the next month, which is more than you earn in a year? If I can make a lot of money, I have to work so hard to take on the work outside?"

Wang Ping punched his shoulder hard, with a strong envy in his tone: "You kid don't know what luck you have left, and you are attracted by Huanyu Company! Today, people from Huanyu Company came to find you by the school leaders. They came again in the evening, and waited until the lights were turned off before leaving regretfully. He left behind, and he would come tomorrow morning. Please don't go out!

"Yes, yes!" Zhou Jun on the opposite side also rushed to say, "That person even said that talents need to be obtained by looking at them all. So, tomorrow he will bring enough gifts and visit them! The price of Guoteng was also what he said in person! Damn, why don't I have such good luck? Let Huanyu take a fancy to it? As long as I can work in Huanyu, even if I am a handyman who sweeps the floor, I am willing!"

Yang Guoli was really stunned this time. He had one leg stretched into the quilt, half of his body was still standing by the bed, standing blankly, completely knocked out by the good news falling from the sky.

Why does Universal Company like me?

Say I have worked in the research institute? Just kidding, like me, an undergraduate major in optoelectronics, still has a small amount of car loads and does not have much work experience, so why would he choose me?

If you think of my programming skills, it would be a big joke!

This is my ability to have half a bottle of water. Programmers of my level can be found in a lot of ways in school. Who hasn’t worked for the Universal world and helped them write edge code?

I won’t be able to become a martial artist. But why did they choose me?

The early winter wind whizzed past the window. In the room, Yang Guoli, who had not been in bed for a long time, sneezed heavily, and a line of clear snot flowed out...
Chapter completed!
