Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 106

[one hundred and six.]

Due to the irreversibility of the earth’s rotation from west to east, the global synchronous listing of the Dandelion operating system is actually more than 20 hours behind from east to west.

This time, the marketing is fully in charge of Microsoft. Although the digital totem marketers and public relations staff are ready to deal with the bombardment of the media and manufacturers at any time, in general, they are busy with the Microsoft staff who have no time to sit down and drink water. It’s really relaxing.

In order to hold the world premiere ceremony in Shanghai, Dandelion’s new product launch conference started at 8:00 in the morning, while Tokyo, which has a little time difference, only started at 11:00 a.m. local time.

On October 8, 2008, at 8:00 a.m. Beijing time, the eyes of the whole world gathered on the small square in front of the second phase of Xujiahui Pacific Computer Plaza. As early as 4:00 a.m., the staff of Microsoft (China) and their ‘s public relations partners began to build metal-framed display stands, set up projectors and screens, and tune audio equipment.

After 6 o’clock, even if it looks a little bit… In terms of digital totem, only Lei Tao was present with a secretary and an assistant.

In addition, there is a group of digital totem staff, who are ready to support at any time while having breakfast in the KFC not far away.

If it is another company or other product, dare to hold the new product launch event at 8 o’clock in the morning, this is the point when most reporters just get up, it is estimated that this group is the most difficult to serve. The scolding of the old men.

And such a press conference will come on time, and there will not be many reporters even for the red envelope for the money.

But this time is different.

The new operating system jointly developed by Digital Totem and Microsoft concentrates people’s expectations and imaginations for a new generation of operating systems, and also carries people’s expectations for a more perfect operating system.

Before Dandelion, the best rated operating system was probably Mac OS Tiger II for Mac.

And now, what will this honor* be?

Just because of this doubt, everyone went to see it one after another.

Before 7:30, a large number of reporters came.

Although the atmosphere of using genuine software in China is only gradually developing, because the new anti-piracy technology developed by Digital Totem is used in this operating system, piracy will basically be eliminated.

Besides, the high-priced software “Zonghengjia” originally launched by Digital Totem has achieved quite good results when it was released at a price of nearly 1,000 yuan, and this time, the genuine price of the operating system is only 498 yuan.

Many ordinary users who have been paying attention to this operating system also queued up early.

As a world premiere, everyone who buys Dandelion OS on the spot will receive a very delicate gift.

Lei Tao, who will represent the digital totem at another press conference, greeted the reporters cordially.

In the group, Lei Tao is no longer responsible for the construction of specific sales channels, but is responsible for the more important global supplier channel management.

Every downstream manufacturer of Digital Totem has to pass Leitao if they want to get product orders and OEM orders from Digital Totem.

In Lei Tao’s hands, he holds more than 1 billion US dollars in annual purchases, and the presence of heavyweights like Lei Tao at the scene can also attract the attention of many people.

Different from the previous products of Digital Totem, in this operating system in cooperation with Microsoft, although the digital totem accounts for 40% of the share, it is extremely low-key.

Lei Tao, who arrived at the scene, just sat on the side, as if he was here to press the field. He didn’t speak, and he didn’t say anything to any reporters. Instead, he pushed all the topics to the person in charge of Microsoft.

As soon as the press conference was over and the official sale started, he disappeared in a frenzy.

At this time, the staff who were neatly dressed and

wearing digital totem badges unknowingly came in to assist the Microsoft staff, which gradually brought the whole scene into order.

Digital totem doesn’t care about this OS?

Of course not, not to mention how much profit the digital totem will make from Dandelion’s global launch.

Dandelion can be said to be a product with a deep digital totem imprint.

From the whole voice control technology, the new file addressing technology combined with the new generation file format, the local search engine and network search service with some functions of the search engine software, new network security technology, etc., those most attractive The selling points of Microsoft are almost always the original technology of the digital totem, while Microsoft’s technology has been reduced to a subordinate status.

Even the original interface of the software has become simple and simple, fresh and moving, which is the rich and gorgeous style of the previous generation of Windows operating systems.

Even the semi-opening of the system, the setting of providing development kits, is in the same vein as the freedom that Digital Totem has always advocated.

Lei Tao knows this well, so he is really embarrassed to steal Microsoft’s limelight at this press conference and in the specific marketing strategy in the future.

The icon of the dandelion spelled out by simple geometric shapes has aroused the curiosity of many people.

Why is such a landmark operating system named after a weed?

The person in charge of Microsoft (China) deftly solved this problem, saying: “Some people like to name the operating system with the name of a cat, why can’t we name the operating system with the name of an herb? Anyway, everyone is the same. It’s about advocating nature.”

Seeing this, Chen Ning, who was watching the live broadcast while smelling engine oil in the workshop of Digital Totem Precision Machinery Co., had lost much interest in the press conference.

She turned off the TV and asked Lu Zhenyu, “You didn’t come up with this crappy name, right?”

Lu Zhenyu was in the factory at this time, adjusting his first car under the guidance of several pilots. On a working board, most of it is buried under the chassis of the car.

Lu Zhenyu’s muffled voice came from under the chassis: “That’s not it. Ask Lu Dekun, it was all caused by his quarrel with the Microsoft guys.”

The name of this dandelion is not easy to come by.

The two sides have been arguing over the naming of the operating system. Bill Gates asked Lu Zhenyu for advice on this matter several times, while Lu Zhenyu kicked the ball to Lu Dekun, saying that the joint development team would decide.

Lv Zhenyu is so generous, Bill Gates is not stingy, and also delegated the naming rights to the joint development team.

However, the joint development team has a total of about 300 people. I don’t know how many fights were fired for this name, but they still couldn’t get a result. In the end, I had to determine a general direction, and then rely on the randomness of the dice to determine.

After the joint development team determined that the name of the operating system would be selected from the names of plants, they moved the largest encyclopedias, listing tens of thousands of plant names, and then sorted them by phylum, family, genus and species. The people in charge of the order take turns rolling the dice – and finally a dandelion is thrown.

Although the name of the wild grass is not very atmospheric, it is not a small grass that no one knows after all. Anyway, it still has a beautiful meaning of spreading around the world and taking root, so the name is determined like this.

Afterwards, the two sides were also thankful that they were not lucky enough to throw out the name Nepenthes…

However, such an operating system may be aimed at most ordinary users, and only home users can play full functions. In the office setting, the full voice control is just a decoration.

Of course, since the marketing has been left to Microsoft, Lu Zhenyu’s attitude is that either Microsoft asks us to help, or everyone should not ask about this, just wait for the money.

Chen Ning was a little helpless to Lu Zhenyu’s laziness in this regard, but compared to Lu Zhenyu who was in the shopping mall, this Lu Zhenyu who got under the car and stained his face with oil was even cuter.

After becoming the boss of the two major teams, Lu Zhenyu suddenly realized that he did not have a driver’s license.

So he took the test to get a driver’s license.

Although his team partners Peugeot and Mercedes-Benz both sent him a car, he still felt uncomfortable looking at the overly luxurious car and bought a Land Rover himself.

Even so, he still felt dissatisfied, and spent a lot of money on various modifications.

People always say that a car is a man’s toy, and this sentence is true. After he had his own car, Lu Zhenyu would run to the factory every three days, ask the team’s pilots for advice, and do it himself under the guidance of the pilots. Modify the car.

In addition to power, brakes and suspension, the most important modification is the auxiliary decision-making system used by Lu Zhenyu himself.

Lu Zhenyu was busy for three days after drilling and running before properly installing the auxiliary decision-making system, which is more complicated than the system installed on the WRC’s technical verification vehicle.

The computer used by the decision-aid system is installed in the space under the seat with the support of a shock-absorbing bracket, and the display screen uses the screen of the original GPS system, the functions of which are integrated into this. Auxiliary decision-making system.

From the looks of it, this odd car, whose computer system alone costs far more than the entire original car, doesn’t see any difference from the mass-produced car in the factory.

Those modifications, as well as the sensors needed for the decision-aid system, are cleverly hidden.

After Chen Ning wiped the grease off Lu Zhenyu’s face, Lu Zhenyu was excited like a child, pulled Chen Ning into the car, and said, “Go, I’ll take you out for a run.” Started the car hastily.

Chen Ning had no choice but to laugh and let Lu Zhenyu make a fool of himself, while his own statement was to pull the seatbelt immediately…

Lu Zhenyu put on a Bluetooth headset and communicated with the auxiliary operating system continuously through voice.

Now, his own car is the genuine top-level auxiliary decision-making system, because it has Dharma in it.

On the technical verification car of the rally team, after Bodhidharma followed the driver to various test lanes, Lu Zhenyu secretly replaced Bodhidharma, who had accumulated considerable data, and added a D-level artificial intelligence.

The driver who believes in himself very much will not notice the change either.

I ran out of the factory, ran along several main roads in Pudong, followed the tunnel all the way to Puxi, and drove back to the company headquarters.

In the past few days, Lu Zhenyu ran around like this not once or twice. After the security guard put Lu Zhenyu in the parking lot, Lu Zhenyu stopped the car, but did not get off directly.

He asked, “How do you feel about my current technology?”

Just as Chen Ning wanted to answer, he suddenly saw that the original picture on the LCD screen disappeared, and a huge emoji appeared, which was an emoji expressing contempt in the internal instant messaging software developed by Digital Totem.

“No way, running every day for the past two days, I should have made some progress.” Lu Zhenyu said in a dissatisfied tone.

At this time, on the LCD screen, it is divided into upper and lower parts to display different information. The annotations on the side indicate that the upper part is the control of Lu Zhenyu’s gear and the brake accelerator just now, and the lower part is based on the collected data. The habits of that WRC driver, and speculation on the controls that might have been chosen under the same circumstances.

The comparison of the two suddenly made Lu Zhenyu’s amateur skills invisible…

“Alright, alright, Ning Ning is by my side, save me some face.” Lu Zhenyu said with a laugh.

A drooling smile suddenly appeared on the LCD screen, showing a bit of a lewd look…

Chen Ning only reacted a little at this time, she couldn’t believe what she saw, the auxiliary decision-making system on this car was working. Communicate with Lu Zhenyu…with emotion and judgment?

Is this a product of artificial intelligence?

“You… are you talking to the auxiliary decision-making system?” Chen Ning said in a trembling voice.

“Yes. However, what is installed here is not only an auxiliary decision-making system, but also the goal I have been striving for, and the partner who has always supported me towards that distant goal. Now, in this car of mine , it’s not a simple decision-making assistance system, it’s what the French driver uses. You can regard the intelligent existence in this car as my friend. I think, in the future, he will also Will be your friend. His name is Dharma.”

“Dharma?” Chen Ning was stunned.

“Yes,” Lu Zhenyu put his arm around Chen Ning’s shoulder and said in a soothing tone, “I promised you when I was in Beijing, I will tell you a lot of things you don’t know yet, I will tell you my goals, I will I will tell you how my goal came to be, and I will tell you how I will work towards this goal step by step in the future. You are my lover, and I also hope that you can become my wife. In the future, I also hope that you can To be the mother of my children, I need your help. Promise me, wait a minute, no matter what you see, don’t tell anyone.”

“Well.” Chen Ning nodded vigorously.

In fact, since she had a relationship with Lu Zhenyu, she has never reported anything to her family or her own superiors in the Security Bureau.

She cherishes the feeling of being an ordinary woman very much, and doesn’t want anything to destroy the delicate and close connection between her and Lu Zhenyu.

And what Lu Zhenyu just said was almost equivalent to a marriage proposal.

Chen Ning’s face was a little hot.

“Okay, go to my office. I will introduce a friend of mine for you. Without her, there would be no me, and there would be no digital totem… This friend’s name is Yue Yu. ”

Ah? Yue Yu?” Hearing the name that gave Chen Ning headaches countless times, she was stunned for a while.
