Facing his extremely eager eyes, Lin Zheng touched his chin. He knew that if linutorvalds could really come to communicate with Loongson's research team, how helpful it would be for Loongson's development. After pondering for a moment, he agreed happily and said, "I can try it, but first explain whether torvalds can agree, and when it will be convenient, I dare not guarantee everyone this..."

"That's that's it," before Lin Zheng finished speaking, Hu Wei nodded with a smile: Just come to our country as a guest. As for Mr. Torvalds, he will always be welcomed whenever he is convenient. Our Chinese Academy of Sciences will always welcome him."

Just kidding, this is linutorvalds, which can independently design an operating system running on multiple architectures and instruction sets. Compatibility and adaptability have left hundreds of streets: the linu operating system now has a desktop version, a server version, and Lianchuang Technology has even developed a mobile version of the operating system, but is it OK with uni?! Is it OK?!

"Wait until I finish speaking," Lin Zheng waved his hand and signaled Hu Wei not to interrupt himself: "But I have a problem."

Hu Wei nodded quickly: "Would you like me?"

"What was the use environment planned for Loongson at the beginning of its design?"

"ah?"

"What device is Loongson going to use? Embedded devices? Personal microcomputer? Server? Or other usage environment?" While asking these words, Lin Zheng's heart kept sinking: No? Didn't it mean that Loongson No. 1 design and verification system have been successfully launched by the Chinese Academy of Sciences? Why do you look at the reactions of these people now as if you have never thought about this issue?

"This... Loongson faces mainly the personal market in the future," Hu Wei's face was also a little embarrassed. He started to develop a computer's central processor without even considering the future use environment. This is indeed a bit too much, but he still had to bite the bullet and continue: "This is also the reason why the Institute of Computing Technology invited Mr. Lin to come here."

Lin Zheng's face twitched twice: Sure enough, it's still the same as in history!

"In other words, in the future, the Loongson series of central processors will be positioned as desktop computers for personal use. That is, they will compete with the x86 architecture, right?"

"Well, yes..." Hu Wei's voice unconsciously lowered several degrees.

You also know that this requirement is extremely unreliable. Shaking your head, Lin Zheng didn't know what to say: "If this is the case, please be honest. I personally don't like the future of 'Longson'."

Lin Zheng said this. Not only Hu Wei couldn't sit still, but the leaders of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who attended the meeting could not sit still. Lin Zheng is recognized as the most outstanding entrepreneur in the IT field in China. The vision he showed in the IT field has made countless people praise it. But now, at the beginning of the Loongson project, Lin Zheng clearly stated that he was not optimistic about "Longson". This is not much worse for "Longson".

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean?" As soon as Lin Zheng finished speaking, a leader of the Institute of Computing Technology could not sit still and asked Lin Zheng quickly.

"It's literal, in my opinion. Now is far from when Loongson enters the desktop market. Facing the x86 camp composed of international computer giants such as Inter, Amd, Microsoft, Ati and Female Iidia, the other party is a huge interest group with an annual output of trillions of dollars worldwide. But where is Loongson?" Shrugged and Lin Zheng said: "I really can't see how Loongson has the ability to compete with such a huge interest group."

"But... we can get the support of the government," the leader immediately saw sweat on his head. Obviously, he hadn't thought about this problem yet. However, after wiping the sweat on his forehead, he insisted: "No other company does not have the same conditions as us."

"That's right, as a strategic project that the country has high hopes for in the semiconductor field, it is certain that Loongson will receive support from the country. After the Loongson central processor is successfully developed, there will definitely be orders from government agencies. I have no doubt about this..."

However, the more Lin Zheng said this, the more sweat the leader was, the more paler his face became: Everyone knew that it was time for "but".

"But," it did not disappoint. Lin Zheng really lived up to expectations and came a "but": "But, how big can the support from the government be? Orders of 100 million? 1 billion are the most? I don't think it's possible that there will be 10 billion. But can Loongson gain the recognition of ordinary people? Can it get the support of many software developers? Can it have thousands or even tens of thousands of application software, and develop new software at any time according to market needs? Have you ever considered the counterattack of these traditional vested interests based on x86 architecture? Faced with this powerful counterattack force, how can "Loongson" protect itself? I don't need to say the answers to these questions, I believe everyone understands it in their hearts."

Lin Zheng didn't say a word, and the leaders of the research institute and the people in the Loongson research team turned pale. After Lin Zheng finished speaking, several leaders were already sitting there shaking, looking like they couldn't sit still.

Everyone understands that Lin Zheng is telling the truth.

That's right, there are indeed countless enthusiasts around the world who have developed many application software for the linu operating system, but compared with the x86 architecture, the gap between the two sides... ahem, it's impossible to calculate.

"Mr. Lin means that 'Longxin' has no future, so let's just give up?" Director Long of the Information Technology Research Institute, who had not spoken, asked in a deep voice, his face very badly.

"I didn't say that. On the contrary, I am actually optimistic about Longxin's future." Lin Zheng said decisively, saying that he is not optimistic about Longxin, and he wants to stop Longxin? What a joke?!

Well, it’s not like this to joke. I wonder how many people are still counting on "Longxin". I wonder how many people are so passionate about their passion. At this time, Is this the rhythm of wanting to be criticized by thousands of people and ending up in vain?

"Then what do you mean?" Director Long's expression calmed down a little.

Lin Zheng said: "I am frank, facing a long-standing market, Loongson wants to seize a market in the desktop computer market. In my opinion, this is impossible. The first phase goal that Loongson must first achieve is to survive in the fierce market competition even if it does not rely on government blood transfusions. Only then can we talk about development and growth and gradually form a complete industrial chain based on Loongson. Only then will Loongson be qualified to enter the desktop computer market. Surviving and living well is the goal of Loongson's first phase."

"What you said is indeed reasonable. At this stage, the embedded market is more suitable for Loongson," Director Long smiled bitterly: "But some leaders immediately have great hope for Loongson..."

After all, Loongson's research team and the Chinese Academy of Sciences actually understand that Loongson now has no chance to challenge D, but it cannot withstand the leadership's goals (good), great goals (game), great achievements (good), even the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Computing Technology and the entire Loongson's research team know that now is not the time for Loongson to enter the desktop market, but everyone has to bite the bullet and do this.

"Tsk..."

Lin Zheng took a breath with a tooth pain. How could he not know what Director Long said? No Chinese people who have paid a little attention to computer technology do not know Longson, and naturally they will complain about the strange decisions of some leaders in the early stages of Longson's development. If Lin Zheng had not considered this issue, he would not have come: he really didn't want to see Longson miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, it still needs to be installed.

But when he heard Lin Zheng's movement, Director Long's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked anxiously: "Mr. Lin... believes that 'Longxin' can balance the long-term goals and the short-term goals?"

What is the balance between long-term goals and short-term goals? To put it bluntly, it means that it can fool the leader and let Longson survive well. However, of course, this cannot be said so directly, but no one who can sit here is a fool. Although Director Long said this vaguely, everyone understood it, and his eyes lit up, and dozens of eyes fell on Lin Zheng: Yes, Lin Zheng is an outstanding entrepreneur in the world. It is said that even the elders of the Presbyterian Church praised him. Since this is the case, there must be a way to solve the problems that Longson is facing now, right?

"Actually, there has been a solution," Lin Zheng said with a smile: "and we have been doing it for many years."

No? We have been using it for many years. Not only did Director Long feel a little confused, but others were also confused: If there was such a good solution, why didn’t we know?

After curling his lips, Lin Zheng said: "The chief designer said that spiritual civilization and material civilization should be grasped with both hands. Both hands must be hard. I think it is actually very suitable to use it on the 'loom core'? As long as you really grasp it with both hands, you will be hard."

"Look at my brain!" Director Long patted his head hard, his face smiling happily. Regardless of the meeting now, Director Long pushed away his chair and strode to Lin Zheng: "Mr. Lin, thank you. On behalf of the entire Institute of Computing Technology, I thank you. You have helped us a lot!"

As expected, he is indeed the most successful entrepreneur. This problem that has troubled us for a long time is not worth mentioning in the eyes of others.

They are all smart people. Everyone just didn't think about this before. Now when Lin Zheng reminded me, I immediately understood: Since the leader likes to see Loongson make a difference in desktop computers, this direction must be maintained. But at the same time, everyone secretly upgraded the development of embedded systems to the same level as that of desktop systems, or even more important, then it would be? It's just walking on two legs.

"Thank me for what I do," Lin Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "I just think that as a project that the country attaches great importance to, there are many places waiting for Longxin's bowl of rice to be put into the pot. It's not good to be hungry when you keep the golden rice bowl."

"Hahaha..." Hearing Lin Zheng say this, a group of people laughed embarrassedly: That's not true. With national support, Loongson is still hungry, which is really not good.

Director Long had bright eyes and continued to ask: "So, Mr. Lin, in which fields do you think Loongson can be used in addition to desktop computers?"

You still ask me this question? Lin Zheng was speechless and pointed and said, "In my opinion, there are really too many stages where Longson can show off, such as various network equipment such as switches, programmable machines, routers, are there any platforms used by Loongson in these places?

Secondly, can various TV set-top boxes and audio and video encoding and decoding fields be built around Loongson?

Third, can the monitoring system be built around Loongson? Speaking of monitoring system, another market has emerged: can the low-cost multi-function server solution also be carried out around Loongson?

There are also various industry applications, such as tax control machines in the tax system, bank dedicated servers, etc...."

Lin Zheng said casually, but the leaders of the institute and the members of the Loongson research team were already fascinated by: That's right, these are indeed what Loongson can do. God, why didn't we think of these before? Even if we were defeated in the desktop market, if we could do it well in these markets, Loongson would not only have no problem supporting itself, but would even live a very comfortable life, right?

Lin Zheng's words are not over yet: "Well, in addition to what I said, Loongson can actually be used on mobile phones. Our Lianchuang Technology just released a smartphone equipped with the Linux operating system a few years ago. I wonder if you have any impression?"

"I really know this," as soon as Lin Zheng finished speaking, Director Long smiled and answered the words: "The 110,000 pixel built-in camera, 3.5-inch color screen, 5m memory, 155mhz CP system, good guy, it's even more advanced than the computer configuration in previous years. It's just a bit expensive, I really can't afford it for more than 9,000 yuan. Mr. Lin, can your phone use Loongson?"

"We need to develop a little more," Lin Zheng said: "Our mobile phone is also a streamlined instruction set, just like Loongson. Although the arm architecture and the MiPS architecture are very different in instruction sets, since Loongson can already run the Linux system, I think it should be no problem to develop a Loongson-based mobile phone. The biggest problem now is that Loongson was not designed for mobile phones at the beginning of design, and its size and energy consumption did not meet the requirements of the mobile phone."
