Chapter 180 Operating System Breakthrough



Chapter 180 Operating System Breakthrough

Mr. Geng said, "Okay, as soon as Chen Feng comes, I'll ask him to find you."

But after waiting for a long time, a week passed and there was no sign of Chen Feng.

It turned out that Chen Feng had spent the entire week in the department, struggling with the operating system.

The operating system project has reached a critical juncture and is extremely critical.

Not only him, but all the brothers and sisters in the entire project team, including the teachers who had just been assigned rooms, all stayed in the temporary lounge in the department and did not go back home.

That day, Senior Sister Liu Dongdong's fingers danced across the keyboard. As she typed the last line of code, the computer spun up and rebooted. The screen flashed, revealing a simple yet familiar interface.

Chen Feng stared at the screen, his heart aching with excitement, as if he had seen his own child take his first steps. "This trading system has a bit of a Windows feel to it. It's still as crude as Windows 95, but it's a huge step forward for us!" he thought to himself.

The project team was suddenly in an uproar, everyone cheered and rejoiced, as if it was the New Year again.

Professor Chi's face was also flushed. He patted Chen Feng on the shoulder and said, "After so much hard work, we finally see some hope."

Professor Chi’s words are very insightful. The big problems have been solved, but there are still a lot of small troubles.

Technical accumulation is a process. With this first version of the trading system, the road ahead will be much easier, and iterative upgrades are no longer empty talk.

Thinking back, it was thanks to the purchase of 86dos that the progress would have been delayed.

Chen Feng turned to Professor Chi and asked, "Professor, how long do you estimate it will take for a mature product?"

Professor Chi pondered for a moment and said, "If you ask me, a fully functional, decent operating system will take at least another six months."

After listening to this, Chen Feng nodded.

More than half a year sounds like a long time, but he knows in his heart that this time is nothing.

At this critical juncture, he could confidently say that he was definitely ahead. Even if he were compared to Gates, the man who scored 86 Dos in history, he might not be faster than him.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng felt proud.

Just then, the department guard knocked gently on the door, poked his head in and said, "There's a soldier outside, he said he's looking for Chen Feng."

Chen Feng muttered to himself, and when he went out to take a look, hey, wasn't this Brother Wu, the bodyguard of Mr. Geng? He was a little older than him, and he always called him "Brother Wu" enthusiastically when they met.

"Brother Wu, why are you here?" Chen Feng asked.

Wu Ge smiled innocently and said, "The commander was waiting for you. He waited and waited but could not find you, so he had no choice but to send me to find you."

Chen Feng slapped his forehead and said, "Okay, I'll tell the professor and I'll go with you right away."

On the way, Chen Feng couldn't help but ask: "Brother Wu, what does the old man want to talk to me about?"

Wu Ge shook his head: "I don't know either, but judging from the Chief's expression, he seems a little anxious. But don't worry, he's in good health. It's definitely not a bad thing for him to look for you. Maybe he just misses you."

Chen Feng felt warm in his heart and his steps became lighter.

When I got to Mr. Geng's place, he caught me as soon as I walked in: "Where have you been? I haven't seen you lately."

Chen Feng smiled and replied, "I haven't been anywhere. I'm busy with my research project."

The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "You? Working on a scientific research project?"

Chen Feng smiled: "Old man, don't underestimate me. I am one of the project leaders this time."

"What project?" the old man asked curiously.

"You won't understand anything about computers even if I tell you." Chen Feng sat down on the chair and picked up the enamel teacup.

The old man was unconvinced: "Humph, don't think I don't understand. It's just a game console. What great things can it bring? It's just a waste of time!"

Chen Feng was amused: "Old Chief, this is not a game console, it is a weapon of the future! You will not be able to fight without it in the future."

The old man was stunned: "Don't talk nonsense, kid."

Chen Feng said seriously, "Really? This is called informatization. Think about it, on the battlefield in the future, information will be our eyes and ears. With computers, we can transmit messages faster, locate the enemy more accurately, and even command remotely, making our soldiers safer and fighting more efficiently. This is not a toy; it's a major event that will change the rules of war!"

The old man was stunned when he heard it, and it took him a while to come back to his senses: "You kid, it sounds like the truth."

Chen Feng took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Old man, you know how far behind the Americans were in terms of weapons during the Korean War. We've caught up a bit now, but the Americans are ahead again, using this new path of informatization!"

The old man frowned, his eyes filled with confusion.

Chen Feng continued, "Fighting in the future won't just be about cannons and machine guns. Satellites will be watching from above, electronic reconnaissance is everywhere, and drones are flying everywhere, covering everything. And then there are those precision-guided weapons. A single long-range shot can directly wipe out your headquarters. This is the so-called decapitation operation. Without information technology, you can't handle it at all..."

"Besides, the command system relies entirely on computers, ensuring coordination and consistency, fast decision-making, and accurate command. I won't go into detail about electronic warfare and information-based communication between different arms. In short, war is all about technology. If we don't keep up, we'll still be fighting the powerful nations' warships and cannons like swords and spears on the battlefield. Technology is our primary combat capability!"

After saying this, the old man fell silent, leaning forward as if he was being pressed down by something heavy.

He held the teacup in his right hand, and his knuckles gradually turned white. Chen Feng was worried that the teacup would be crushed.

Suddenly, the old man exerted force suddenly, and the teacup hit the table with a "clang", splashing tea everywhere.

"Do it well!" The old man's voice was deep but powerful. "In this regard, we must surpass them! Technology is the primary combat force! You're right. Without technology, we'll have to sacrifice lives on the battlefield, and that won't work!"

Chen Feng looked at the old man's fierce eyes and thought that the mighty old man Hu was still there. The old man's aura was really not to be underestimated.

That’s about it.

Historically, it was not until the Gulf War that our country truly saw the huge gap between itself and the United States, and only then did it begin military reforms.

If decision makers could wake up sooner, perhaps the pace of our military modernization could be accelerated.

However, this is how it is, there is no point in saying more.

Chen Feng quickly changed the subject: "Grandpa, why did you call me here so urgently? What's the urgent matter?"

The old man waved his hand and said, "I'm not the one looking for you. It's Xiao Xu. He's been here twice this week."

"Xiao Xu?" Chen Feng was confused for a moment. "Which Xiao Xu?"

"Xu Kangyang!" the old man said unhappily.

Chen Feng suddenly understood: "Oh! It's Director Xu. What does he want from me?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chen Feng's mind suddenly brightened. Could it be that Director Xu's competition for the mayor of Ninghai City has made some progress?

The old man looked at him and said, "The conspiracy you gave him worked! He came here to thank you."

When Chen Feng heard this, he was overjoyed.
