Every time the school starts, friends.com will explode with a wave of popularity.

The mini program for buying train tickets has been launched.

The internal testing of the Micro-Point input method has also come to an end and has received rave reviews. Almost everyone who has used it said that it is better than the most popular Ziguang Pinyin and Smart ABC.

The fuzzy input is amazing.

For example, to input the word "Hello", using those two input methods, you must input "nihao" accurately. However, when people type too fast, the letters may be confused, such as

"nihoa", other input methods will report an error. However, the micro-dot input method can make intelligent judgments and continue to give the result of "hello".

There are also some popular words.

The micro-dot input method is a community input method. As long as the new words that appear most frequently on friends' websites can be updated and filled in the vocabulary library immediately, it will bring convenience to users' input.

Zhou Buqi also used it and felt that there was still a big gap between it and later generations of input methods, so he put forward some rectification suggestions.

According to the plan of the school network, on March 1, the sign-in welfare section will be launched; on March 5, the micro-dot input method will be launched; on March 10, micro-dot notes will be launched; on March 15, Weimi.com will be officially launched.

The first few are relatively easy, and the most difficult one is Weimi.com.

Many things are like this. When you don't do it, it feels easy, and the more you do it, the harder it becomes. Shi Jinglin has already gone to Hangzhou to negotiate with Taobao, and is a bit anxious. I guess... Taobao's services will be difficult to launch this semester.

On the third day of school, Zhou Buqi met an important figure—Yang Zhenkun.

He officially joined the job.

He is a technical talent, especially with a very high annual salary of 1.5 million. There are relatively few options. He has 80,000 share options, which can be exercised in four years.

After joining Ziweixing, he will not enter a management position, but will focus on his scientific research direction, that is, the research of distributed processing algorithms.

When Academician Ni gave a report at Peking University, Zhou Buqi didn't go, but Zhang Yiming did, and he was deeply inspired.

The theme of his speech was "The Wounds of Technology" and he said that our country is developing extremely fast, but it is large but not strong. In many key core technology fields, it is still controlled by others.

Then, he listed 100 core technologies that our country still lacks, hoping to call on college students to study in these fields and serve the motherland.

Among them, the hardware field includes photolithography machines, photoresists, chips, aircraft engine nacelles, tactile sensors, mobile phone radio frequency devices, ICLIP technology, heavy-duty combustion turbines, high-end capacitors and resistors, laser radar, aviation steel, high-end bearing steel, high voltage

Piston pumps, underwater connectors, epoxy resin, high-strength stainless steel, etc.

The software field includes operating systems, core industrial software, core algorithms, aviation design software, database management systems, etc.

The distributed processing algorithm that Yang Zhenkun studied is a core algorithm, and it is also a blank area abroad.

In comparison, software is less difficult than hardware.

For example, for core algorithms, as long as we get the architecture, drawings, codes, etc., we can make world-class algorithms, which will make up for the lack in this field.

The difficulty is ecology.

The software has been designed, but there is no ecosystem for survival, which is the same as nothing. Just like the Red Flag Linux system, which was built many years ago, but has no ecosystem at all, and cannot be compared with Windows at all.

The hardware is different. The difficulty of the hardware is the craftsmanship.

Even if we get someone else's drawings and master a full set of technical processes, we still can't make it because the technology level is not enough. For example, high-strength stainless steel has a very simple principle. You can learn it at the undergraduate level, but you just can't make it.

Therefore, the software field is relatively simple. Even if we find a foreign country that is still blank and has not built an ecological environment, our country can accurately attack and catch up.

Typical representatives are the flight control system of DJI drones and the recommendation algorithm of Douyin.

Zhou Buqi is reborn, and of course he is not willing to just make money.

He wants to do something different.

Instead of shouting slogans like Mr. Ni, he wants to do it with real swords and guns.

"Scientific research must be combined with market products."

In his office, Zhou Buqi expressed his views.

Yang Zhenkun has a deep understanding of this. No matter whether he is at Peking University, Founder, or Lenovo, the research he does is combined with practice, and the research results are all marketed into products.

This is the most awesome scientist.

This does not mean that scientific research must pursue results, but only with considerable results can we inspire more young people to be willing to participate. Otherwise, spending a lot of money without results will make people discouraged, and no one will care about it.

I am interested in scientific research.

"The idea of ​​distributed firewall is right. Lao Liu and I have known each other many years ago, and I never thought we could cooperate again." Yang Zhenkun said with a smile.

Zhou Buqi said: "Distributed firewalls are not too difficult, right? As long as the distributed algorithm is developed and then extended to the firewall, it will be fine."

Yang Zhenkun was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Buqi took a deep breath, "Academician Ni gave a speech in the Peking University Auditorium two days ago and talked about the scientific and technological harm of big countries. Among them, he said that in the field of database management systems, we are still dominated by foreign giants."

Almost all databases of major companies around the world use Oracle.

Just like a personal computer needs a Windows system.

Yang Zhenkun's expression changed drastically, "You mean we want to make a database?"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Didn't we communicate last time? Oracle is a stand-alone relational database, which is a bit out of date with the times. American giants such as Amazon and Facebook have begun to abandon it. It just so happens that distributed

The database market is still blank."

The two of them said last time that the current mainstream thinking abroad is to build non-relational databases to alleviate the huge storage and management pressure in the web2.0 era.

What Yang Zhenkun means is that the relational database is better and more stable. It has been used for decades. Don’t change the model at will, but upgrade it! It needs to change from a single-machine relational database to a multi-machine relational database, that is, a distributed database.

Relational database.

"Xiao Zhou...Mr. Zhou..." Yang Zhenkun's voice was trembling a little, "This is no joke!"

"How to say?"

"Traditional databases have already established an ecological chain and are very stable."

"oh?"

"Databases have been around for decades since their birth, but basically their market structure has not changed much. The first few manufacturers have always occupied a dominant position. Because databases are very difficult to replace, especially when they manage a large amount of data.

The risk of replacing the database is too high. What if the data is lost? Moreover, the transfer time of massive data is too long. During this period, it is equivalent to paralysis of the entire service system. The database is at the bottom of the entire product or industry chain.

, the replacement risk is high, but the benefits are much smaller in comparison.”

"Um."

"IBM and Microsoft have also launched their own databases, but they cannot replace Oracle at all. This has led to the database becoming a field with extremely high thresholds, where the strong are always strong, and it is difficult for latecomers to catch up."

Zhou Buqi said: "If you can't catch up, you have to catch up! I don't agree with Academician Ni's approach, but I agree with his statement. The core technology must be in our own hands. We don't have a local database yet."

Yang Zhenkun sighed, "Even if it does exist, no one will buy it. Domestic operating systems have been promoted for so many years, but who uses it? Many people have never even heard of the name Red Flag Linux."

Zhou Buqi said firmly: "Whether we buy it or not, we have to do it! If others don't use it, we will use it ourselves! Teacher Yang, you have also seen the business structure of Ziweixing. We will definitely become a great company. You put the database

If we make it, even if we purchase it ourselves and use it ourselves, we can still make a living."

This is rather conservative.

Traditional relational databases are essentially stand-alone systems. They usually use expensive high-end servers and high-end storage, and are difficult to meet the challenges of high scalability, high performance, high availability and low cost for Internet applications.

Therefore, future Internet giants will definitely abandon expensive "IOE", even IBM servers, Oracle databases and EMC storage devices.

Especially after the "Prism Gate" broke out, it brought a lot of political color to the promotion of my country's Internet products. Only by using your own products can you ensure that the US imperialism will not eavesdrop and steal information.

"There is a big difference between a database and an operating system. The operating system is aimed at ordinary people. It's okay for them to shout slogans. It is almost impossible to get them to give up the more accustomed operating system for the sake of their lost feelings about their family and country. But the database

It's different. The database is aimed at enterprises and government departments, and some far-sighted entrepreneurs can play a role model. If there is further policy drive, domestic databases may not be able to be promoted."

Zhou Buqi’s attitude is very firm, that is, he must build a database!

Distributed relational databases, let alone it is 2006, even in another three to five years, foreign countries will not get involved in this field, and they will all focus on the road of non-relational databases.

In other words, even if it takes a few more years of research, as long as it is made, Ziweixing will be the world's number one in this field!

With this reputation, are you still worried that the country will not have policies to promote it?

Yang Zhenkun took a deep breath and looked at him seriously, "Mr. Zhou, are you really going to do this?"

“Really do it!”

"good!"

Of course Yang Zhenkun was willing. This is not only the research of scientific research technology, but also a matter of success and fame. Then, he said with a deep expression, "However, to build a distributed database, I need a huge technical team and need to recruit people."

"How many people?"

"No less than 200 people."

"Can."

"It also requires a huge budget."

Zhou Buqi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Write the number?"

Yang Zhenkun took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "100 million per year, at least for three years!"
Chapter completed!
