Chapter 773: N+B Strategy

In the middle of the night after twelve o'clock in the morning.

Colorful traffic flows on the roads of various bustling cities.

It is the same as the flashing lights of various colors on each branch of the information highway at this time.

The information released by anonymous people in small forums is only the beginning.

Then a lot of inside information broke out.

It also included a picture of an internal confidential document, adding further fuel to the fire.

"When you are abroad, you can only remain anonymous. It is rumored that the cooperation between Godson and Frontier began in the first half of the year. Frontier directly provided 158 million funds, and Godson raised 160 million from 2 million to establish a technology alliance plan. It started a long time ago. The research and development work of purely self-developed CPU, see the picture."

Picture one:

In a corner of a confidential document, some words can be seen clearly:

'Technology Alliance Program...Frontier Baize Lab, Loongson...'

'...'

'A Godson processor research plan based on the Bzloong instruction set system...'

'...'

The anonymous source who disclosed the information made a final addition:

"Godson originally used the MIPS instruction set, but now it has replaced the instruction set system with an easy-to-guess name, which shows that the degree of autonomy in CPU research and development starts from the most basic level, so wait for the big news!

PS: It is said that if you disclose these things, you will be held accountable..."

"..."

Successive insider news spread rapidly through the public cyberspace.

The transmission efficiency is far beyond imagination.

It may be that in the next second, a certain related issue has been specially modified.

"How do you view Frontier Bailong exposed in a certain forum? Does the independence of the instruction set mean that the era of domestic CPUs has really come? Why does Frontier implement such a strict message blocking strategy?"

Synchronously modified the problem description and added a lot of information.

"...According to incomplete statistics, on the day of the 11th, Zero Degree Computer was donated for the first time for free, and the University of Science and Technology of China received and used it. It was not until the 11th that there was a gossip that Zero Degree Computer used an unusual CPU...

...

Will the information exposed in a certain forum have an adverse impact on Frontier?

...

Can anonymous people really be held accountable?

...

Is it related to the business plan? "

"..."

Countless quasi-users called their friends to answer this question, and soon it became a hot topic.

Many people responded.

"Thanks for the invitation, I have little talent and learning, and I can't fully answer this big question;

To put it simply, there must be a reason for Frontier’s strict secrecy. According to the time cycle, it is estimated that this Bailong may have been successfully taped and verified before August or earlier;

So far at least it has been strictly kept secret for more than a month. From this, it can be seen that Frontier will definitely pursue responsibility. "

"..."

"Generally speaking, few chip manufacturers choose to develop their own instruction sets for many reasons, such as application compatibility, etc. The cutting-edge Bailong D1-S can be regarded as semi-commercial, with at least 6,000 chips. Shipment, it is difficult to say how big a business plan is;

Personally, I think it doesn’t matter if you expose the CPU model and parameters. You really shouldn’t expose the R&D plan of confidential documents. This will definitely have a very serious impact. The initial capital of the affiliate program is 160 million). "

"..."

"If the information is true, according to the previous style of work, 10% of this Bailong processor is purely self-developed, and it can be regarded as a completely independent domestic CPU, which is incomparable to Shenlong 1;

From another point of view, it can also be explained that the inspections of the general leaders will never be aimless. "

"..."

"Judging from the exposed parameters, Bailong's performance is not very strong, but it is more than enough for daily office use;

It is estimated that it is a water-testing product, and it should be donated to the Frontier Academy for teaching and use. It should be used for feedback, but unfortunately it was exposed like this.

Otherwise, it is really possible to give the wintel alliance a decisive blow. "

"..."

"Thank you for the invitation, related to the semiconductor industry, I can only say that I am looking forward to further news, and I am not optimistic about this kind of real suicide R & D plan, especially now that it has been exposed;

However, I have to say that this wave has done a good job, who wouldn't want their country's technology to rise! I sincerely hope Frontier can withstand this wave of pressure. "

"..."

"Thank you, I don't understand anything, so I just want to ask, is the era of domestic CPUs coming?"

"..."

What's interesting is that when the truth was unknown before, those sharp users seemed to have taken a rest and almost completely disappeared.

It was as if these people had lost their edges all of a sudden.

No more e-waste.

Even the exposed CPU parameters show that compared with the current mainstream CPU, there is a clear lag.

At this time, almost every user is excited in his own way.

As for other social platforms, it is a little more messy. Of course, the general direction of the argument is exciting.

After all, the domestic CPU that has been called for many years suddenly appeared dawn.

…………

Almost at dawn, there are particularly good media to contact Frontier, Frontier Science, and Frontier Luzhou.

Looking for an official answer.

Apparently, no one answered.

But it does not prevent the media from writing articles, and said that there is no official response from Frontier before the press release.

Anyway, reporting left and right is nothing more than a pen, you can write whatever you want.

In addition to these particularly good media, some TV media morning news also took time to report on network developments, specifically mentioning this heated incident.

During the few hours from early morning to seven o'clock in the morning, netizens made a fuss to the point where there was no difference.

Countless fanciers.

Such a result was unexpected even by the front office.

However, it did not affect Fang Nian's itinerary for going to school.

It was only after the first big class that Fang Nian met Gu Yu who walked into the campus in a low-key manner.

"..."

Gu Yu’s 1510 report: “Godson, Jingjiawei, and several new enterprises and institutions have leaked secrets to varying degrees;

It is easy to find the source of leaks from the information circulating on the Internet;

There is no relevant source of leaks on our side, except for the part we arranged. "

After finishing speaking, Gu Yu looked up at Fang Nian, feeling a little helpless: "Some leaks are beyond our control."

"Even the Bzloong instruction set and the technology alliance plan have been completely ruined. These companies really have nothing to eat, and they are wasting my cutting-edge funds." Fang Nian said coldly.

"You discuss it with Wen Mi, and set a core development and external cooperation scope, as well as confidentiality standards."

"I can't be so casually passed through like a sieve."

Gu Yu complied: "I'll do it now."

"In addition, Mr. Wen would like to ask you to set the scope of the content of today's press conference."

Fang Nian thought for a while, and said, "It's all like this, let's adjust it and put together the content that was originally planned to be released later."

"it is good."

Finally, Gu Yu said: "We plan to arrange for the company's legal affairs to start the relevant accountability procedures. After all, there are confidentiality agreements with these companies."

Fang Nian hummed: "The focus is on expressing the frontier's attitude, and if necessary, economic compensation can be pursued."

Afterwards, Gu Yu left Fudan campus.

"..."

Strictly speaking, this is not just an episode, but an accident.

Although the inside information was released on purpose by Frontier Control this time, not all the exposed content was released at the behest of Frontier Control.

The act of exposing the content of some confidential documents on the Internet has nothing to do with Frontier.

And it's a part that Frontier doesn't want to expose to the outside world, at least not now.

For example, the Bzloong instruction set system.

The instruction set is not a particularly difficult thing, but if a new instruction set is used, it is particularly obvious that the frontier is developing the CPU from scratch.

If these are not exposed, people may even think that Frontier obtained the X86 license from where.

Or try to switch from a mobile phone to a computer through the existing arm authorization, or the MIPS instruction set.

At least it will not be the same as it is now. People with a discerning eye will know the business plan of Frontier at this level at a glance.

This is why the Zero Degree brand has been established for so long, and it does not sell computers to the outside world, but donates them free of charge to frontier institutes with a very close cooperative relationship.

At the very least, we have to wait for the success of the first generation of the "Chu" architecture, which can basically catch up with the second generation of Core i3; and DeskOS has been installed and tested by users on a large scale, and there are a large number of "general" software compiled and generated by nwL supporting compiler;

If it is exposed at this time, it will not have a major impact on the 'DeskOS+' grand strategy.

Because at that time, the DeskOS+ industry chain had been initially successful, and it had a certain combat effectiveness, at least it could be used within a certain range without any problems.

It's better now...

There is no doubt that Frontier will face tremendous pressure in the future.

Although the current computer hardware is basically general-purpose, the proportion of domestically produced core components is very low, and the excellent rate is even lower.

In other words, it is possible that core component manufacturers will stop supporting DeskOS drivers in the future.

Of course, except for core hardware such as graphics cards, hard drives, and motherboards, other components cannot hold DeskOS.

And the most important thing is still the high-end high-performance graphics card...

Anyway, this time, Frontier only intends to announce the DeskOS+ plan to the outside world.

It shows that the DeskOS + Bailong system will be promoted through the Zero brand in the domestic market.

The Bailong here only indicates that it is the Bailong processor designed by Frontier itself, and does not indicate that it is a processor developed by Frontier itself.

Obviously not now.

…………

…………

In the afternoon, Fang Nian went to the front office.

Wen Ye submitted the complete speech to Fang Nian, and asked Fang Nian to review one or two.

Fang Nian flipped through the pages: "Generally, there is no problem. Some items should be carefully worded to show a frontier attitude."

"Okay." Wen Ye understood.

Fang Nian thought for a while, and then said: "It's all like this, it's better to just do one thing and keep doing the other thing."

"Liu Xi, get ready, you should work overtime today."

"..."

After speaking, Fang Nian got up and left the office.

After finding out the location of Mr. Guan over the phone, Fang Nian asked the village chief to send him there...

Time flies, it is three o'clock in the afternoon.

Frontier held a simple media press conference.

CEO Wen Ye spoke on behalf of the company.

"..."

Wen Ye said: "Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to come here."

"As for some remarks against Frontier Group in cyberspace, our company hereby publicly responds."

"..."

"First, the zero brand desktop computer does use Luzhou's cutting-edge self-developed processor, Bailong D1-S."

"Secondly, there is no plan to sell the Zero-brand desktop computer to the outside world in the short term."

"..."

After speaking, Wen Ye made a gesture: "You can ask any questions you have."

"..."

A certain reporter A: "Mr. Wen, regarding the anonymous information on the Internet that the Bzloong instruction set used by your company's self-developed processor is whether it is a self-developed instruction set, and why is it self-developed instruction set."

Wen Ye: "Bzloong is not entirely an instruction set independently developed by Frontier, and Loongson has contributed some technical materials;

The purpose of the self-developed instruction set is to better design the CPU.

Regarding the relevant technical parameters and indicators of Bzloong and Bailong series processors, they will be announced through the official website of Zero Degree later. There are many professional vocabulary, so I will not repeat them. "

"..."

A certain reporter B: "Mr. Wen, why doesn't the Zero brand sell computers to the outside world? And is it as said on the Internet, does Frontier regard the teachers and students of Frontier Institute as guinea pigs? Collect usage feedback for update and iteration?"

Wen Ye: "Zero brand has been established for a short time and does not have the ability to sell externally;

For the second question, I remember that I said it last time when I spoke on behalf of Frontier. I suggest you go back and look up the meaning of the word "cooperation";

Secondly, any product used by users has a user feedback collection system, which needs to be updated and iterated through user feedback. This is not a special case, please understand. "

"..."

A reporter C: "Why does Frontier carry out strict information blockade? We believe that the ability to independently develop computer processors is something worthy of special mention."

Wen Ye: "This involves some cutting-edge business plans, and it is inconvenient to disclose them. Being able to do something does not mean that you must publicize it."

"At the same time, Frontier has initiated the accountability procedure;

According to the confidentiality agreement, the cooperative company and the person who discloses the confidential information anonymously will be legally held accountable. Taking into account the possible losses, incidental economic responsibilities will not be ruled out. "

"..."

Ask questions one by one.

Nearly twenty minutes passed before I knew it.

The reporters asked all kinds of questions, and many were intentionally sharp and thoughtless.

There is no other way.

There will always be such reporters regardless of whether they are paid or not.

In short, Wen Ye expressed a cutting-edge attitude in accordance with Fang Nian's request.

Responsibility and will be accompanied by economic accountability.

Of course, Wen Ye did not avoid answering.

Otherwise, there would be no need for this media press conference.

"..."

In the end, Wen Ye answered a reporter's question again and concluded: "Okay, thank you all journalists, the questioning session is over."

"On behalf of Frontier, I'm announcing a few small things."

"..."

"First of all, I am very grateful to the majority of users for their recognition of Nuwa DeskOS. Since its official launch on the 1st, the number of download users worldwide has officially exceeded 1 million;

According to incomplete statistics, the number of application software supporting DeskOS has exceeded 20,000;

In order to thank all users and development engineers for their support, I announce that the free trial period of DeskOS will be extended for another 90 days. "

"..."

"The 500 million yuan development award launched in May has been approved to issue 50 million yuan. Frontier earnestly hopes that all development engineers will continue to work hard."

"..."

"At last……"

Having said that, Wen Ye paused for a moment, and looked at the audience with vain eyes, seeming to stop on everyone's head.

"I announce the immediate launch of the N+B strategy."

"Frontier Nuwa Laboratory and Baize Laboratory have made a strategic alliance, and launched the bundling plan of Nuwa system and Baize chip;

Start the 64-bit architecture and operating system system plan;

The nwL supporting compiler has fully supported the Bzloong instruction set program compilation, and will gradually support the mainstream programming languages ​​on the market. In the future, it will gradually complete the transformation of the DeskOS application ecology to the Bzloong instruction system. "

"Please look forward to it."

"..."

The press conference ended here, but the reporters didn't want it to end, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Someone stood up and yelled Mr. Wen to stop.

Someone asked the question directly.

However, Wen Ye did not respond and left the scene directly.
