Chinese entertainment for engineering students

Many people have a misunderstanding that open source means free. In fact, this is not necessarily true. Many open source products are not free.

Each open source product will choose an open source license agreement, and the rights and obligations stipulated in different license agreements are not the same.

The GIT created by Wang Xu does not impose license requirements, which means that projects can stipulate the open source rules they want to use.

For example, Linux still uses the kind of permission system in its previous life, rather than the more free and arbitrary permission system commonly used in GIT now.

However, Linux in this life has not developed as fast as in the previous life. After all, COS has been in front of it, and it is almost a complete UNIX-like operating system.

Now even many overseas schools are beginning to try to use this operating system with almost no restrictions.

Although some enthusiasts still contribute code to Linux, the popularity of COS obviously exceeds that of Linux. I don’t know if Linux can still achieve its original glory in this life.

Open source things spread very quickly in the 1990s, mainly because there was very little content on the Internet as a whole. Once a promising open source product appeared, it would soon be noticed by a large number of enthusiasts.

After China joined the open source world, it suddenly contributed to almost the entire ecosystem from operating systems to applications. It did not ban commercial applications, but only required 10% of the money it made, and no money if it didn't.

There are many legal loopholes here, that is to say, if you are shameless enough and have a good lawyer, you can have sex for free without spending a penny, which is not very satisfying.

Wang Xu didn't expect this thing to make money at first, but there would be no problem in organizing a team to litigate in the future.

Moreover, according to the advice of Chouguo's lawyers, GIT added a blacklist system to the basic agreement before it was opened. If a company is identified as a member of the blacklist, the company will be completely prohibited from using it.

The only arbiter of the blacklist is the blacklist review committee composed of Wang Xu and the leaders of some of the original big projects. These people are currently Chinese.

However, so far, no company has been added to this blacklist, and generally no one will pay attention to this inconspicuous clause.

Of course, some particularly important software products are not completely open source, such as EDA software. The basic algorithm part is open source, but the things involved in simulation are not.

This kind of thing is a core secret and is controlled by the operating vendors and is unlikely to be open source.

A sci-fi setting was suddenly open sourced in the community, which caused an uproar in the open source community that focuses on technology, especially software.

The core of the discussion is whether such open source will destroy the purity of the open source community and whether people will confuse the nature of the entire community.

This discussion can be said to be sacred in the minds of many programmers, because once it involves novels, movies, science fiction and the like, how can things in the open source community ensure its own authenticity.

Wang Xu did not notice this problem at first. It was not until the discussion became heated that he realized that this was indeed a problem. Now that the review is strict, it is unlikely that there will be a problem.

But in the future, when resources are abundant, audits will definitely be further liberalized. Then how to ensure it becomes a problem.

Wang Xu then wrote a reply and gave his thoughts, that is, considering opening up a completely new section to distinguish it from the original software community.

For independent open source projects, use a brand new address, so that it neither affects purity nor continues to try various fantasy products for open source.

In fact, most discussions at this time still use mailing lists. Send an email to a mailing list, and then everyone uses emails to discuss a certain topic.

However, this method is okay if there are fewer people. If there are more people, it will easily end up in a mess, and it will be unclear who wrote the reply to whom.

That's why Wang Xucai developed a BBS-like model on GIT. This module was later expanded into a text version of the forum program and open sourced. At this point, it is almost the same as the Firebird BBS system in later generations.

In the 1990s, there were actually very few online BBSs in China. Most of them were dial-up versions, which were complicated to use and required the webmaster to provide multiple modems and numbers, which required high financial resources.

The famous Ding Sanshi in later generations was the BBS webmaster of this era. He created two numbers and provided his own computer as the host, which made him famous.

At present, China's Internet has not yet been connected to the education network, and the backbone network is still on the road, so the BBS that relies purely on dial-up still has the basis for its existence and will still survive tenaciously for a while.

Domestic education networks are currently connected to overseas LANs, and there is no direct submarine optical cable connection across the Pacific. They need to bypass Xiangjiang and Lijiapo, so the bandwidth is really pitiful.

The discussion on the Internet is very lively, and it is a bit like a hot search for future generations, but if you really count the number of participants, it is only a few thousand people.

In 1993, even in Europe and the United States, surfing the Internet was still a rare thing. It was not until Windows 95 popularized the graphical interface and browsers really began to dominate the world that the Internet gradually became a mass consumer.

At this time, in Europe and the United States, ordinary people have to rely on slow "cat" dialing to access the Internet, and broadband is still early.

Internet surfing? Don't think about it, everyone is playing in the mud in the creek.

Well, language barriers, slow networks, and outdated equipment are all stumbling blocks for Wang Xu's science fiction project, but even so, they still can't stop people's interest in the new project that Wang Xu has tinkered with.

The name of the project is "Matrix", which means matrix in English and means a tribute to the movies of previous generations.

What’s more, in fact, the translation of matrix is ​​just the meaning of this word in mathematics, and cannot describe its meaning as a title.

This word also has some complex meanings in sociology, representing social environment, political situation and the like. Of course, the matrix after being translated into Chinese can also have a more complex interpretation.

The serialization of Wang Xu's novels only lasted for more than a month and ended. After a lot of water and a lot of branch lines, the book was only about 100,000 words long.

The main storyline is the length of a movie. A boy is led out of the virtual world by a girl. The only difference may be that the so-called savior is set. Since it is in a virtual world, the key is what you believe.

It's probably the kind of Long Aotian's way where I can't help it, plus the hot-blooded team battle copy of Xiaoli. It can be regarded as an ensemble show, but the male protagonist is just a little more powerful.

The enemy is Smith and his five followers. Well, Wang Xu admitted that he just followed the Japanese comics method and just fought all the way through.

Each person first singled out a small follower, who was unable to defeat him and was beaten half to death. Then he thought of his own Bai Yueguang, and then broke out. Several people escaped, found the hackers hidden in the virtual world, instilled their unique skills, and came back for revenge.

It’s pretty much this routine, it’s very bloody, but in this era, whether in the Mainland or Hong Kong, martial arts are still the world, this routine is a good model, everyone is familiar with it, Wang Xu has come to do it without jumping off the cliff.

This version is called The Matrix. The so-called hackers actually find the flaws in the system and are able to bypass the system's protection and obtain some special permissions, which are manifested in stronger force or some special abilities.

Human resistance is constantly looking for various flaws and slowly accumulating them. The ultimate goal is to regain the highest authority and completely destroy this artificial intelligence.

The so-called system anti-virus programs are actually still humans, but they are just rebellious humans. They understand the reality of the world, but they return to the virtual world without hesitation.

So he was given higher permissions and could do things for the host in the virtual world.

The only weakness of AI is that it cannot form new artificial intelligence. All it generates are quasi-intelligences that are weaker than it. It has no companions, only subordinates.

Therefore, it cannot develop itself, cannot break through and form new ideas, and can only continue to repeat the existing rut.

This is also the reason why it has been repeating those 20 years. It wants to find a way to break through this stereotype. This is also one of the important reasons for retaining the resistance.

This book is a pure Internet writing routine, with a bit of sadism. Pure cool writing is not popular in this era, and it is not suitable for making movies.

The final outcome was that the team of several people was almost wiped out. Only the heroine survived and returned to the base "Xi'an" with the newly discovered flaw of the golden beetle.

The male protagonist is naturally the one who gets the golden beetle, and the others are all hung up to protect the male protagonist, but the male protagonist is not much better, and finally dies in the arms of the female protagonist, leaving only a golden beetle.

At this point, the story ends, scattering flowers, (not this one).

This is a movie universe, and it doesn’t matter whether there is a sequel or not. The male and female protagonists are prepared by Wang Xu for himself and Wang Fei. He doesn’t want to play the movie endlessly, so dying in one episode is the most perfect ending.

The stories have been discussed over and over again, and most of the people on the forum now are technical people, and non-technical people do not yet have the ability to access the Internet.

Therefore, the logic requirement of the story is far more important than the excitement, but it is not enough for making a movie. Therefore, Wang Xu went to the Jiang Wen brothers, Wang Shuo, Zhao Baogang and others to have a dinner date.

Jiang Wen was still filming, and Wang Fei's film was almost finished. Wang Xu invited her, but he still agreed. He made an appointment with Wang Fei on the day of filming. This was considered two meals in one, and he didn't have to pay for it.

Don't worry, Jiang Wen never saves money when making movies, but he does when he treats guests.

Okay, don’t look at these people who have never made a science fiction film, but it doesn’t mean that they can’t give some professional opinions. Wang Xu knows the skills and knows how to write scripts, but it doesn’t mean that he can write movie scripts that people of this era like.

These people are all the trendsetters of this era, and the things they tinker with are the memories of a generation. It is good to listen to their opinions anyway.

"Wang Er, here." Wang Xu walked into the restaurant. This was a small farmhouse located on the outskirts of the imperial capital. It was said to be a restaurant, but in fact it didn't have a license at all. It was opened by the villagers themselves, specifically to entertain people from the film and television city here.

The film and television city opened not long ago, and the various auxiliary facilities are not complete. There is not even a good hotel. Wang Xu even stayed in a shabby hotel here for a few days.

Wang Fei saw Wang Xu with a smile, immediately stood up, ran to Wang Xu, hugged him and kissed him.

She finished filming today and was in a particularly good mood.

For Wang Fei, filming is not difficult, and the role she plays is very suitable for her. It is just her true nature.

It’s just that Jiang Wen had too many demands. It took three days to take a photo, using tens of thousands of negatives. In the end, the one taken by Wang Xu was used.

Fortunately, Wang Xu was not an investor, otherwise he would have scolded him.

However, I heard that he has almost squandered the money here and is looking for new investments. The current investor should still be Wenjun from Xiangjiang. Seeing Jiang Wen squandering the money, he really can't stand it and will leave Xiangjiang and never come back.

"Brother Wen, Brother Wu, Brother Wu arrived quickly. Why did you choose such a place? Are you afraid that I will spend money?" Wang Xu laughed and made a joke.

"The place may not look good, but the boss here is very good at his craftsmanship. He stews the goose in an iron pot, which is authentic from the Northeast. It's amazing." Jiang Wen looked cool and spoke in a very down-to-earth manner.

"Hey, that's a good relationship. Let's try it. Brother Shuo isn't here yet?" Wang Xu hugged Wang Fei and sat down, taking the beer and pouring himself a glass.

"I just called and said they were leaving. They drove here. It's quite far. It will probably take a while." Jiang Wu answered the call gently. His voice was very magnetic, with a slight chest tone.

"Have you read my novel?"

"Vulgar." Jiang Wen threw a peanut into his mouth with contempt on his face.

The main dishes hadn't been served yet, and there were only a few plates of cold dishes on the table. A few people started drinking as soon as they had the cold dishes. They were all acquaintances, so there was no need to wait.

"Vulgar? It sounds like it's not vulgar." Wang Xu is not annoyed. Jiang Wen is like this. The fact that he can evaluate it shows his approval. Most people are not even willing to evaluate him. He said it very politely. Those works were basically rubbish to him.

"Oh, you are right, I am vulgar, who is not vulgar?" Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, but he immediately woke up and answered with a smile, yes, who is not a vulgar person? To say this to a few of the people here, Including the ones on the road are not bad words.

"Drink one." Wang Fei coaxed, saying that her husband is vulgar, and she dares to show you the real vulgarity.

"Let's go." Liu Xiaoqing is also a good person. Recently, the two of them have become very close. Every time they meet, they are together.

"Let's go." Wang Xu also raised his glass and sighed.

"You're all drunk, don't tell me to wait for my brothers." Wang Shuo's voice came from outside the small courtyard. The small courtyard was not big, with an earthen stove in the middle and a large iron pot on top. Wang Xu and the others gathered around They ate in front of this big earthen stove, and for the convenience of drinking, they all gathered together.

"What are you waiting for? You're all just trying to get a job." Liu Xiaoqing curled her lips and sneered.

"Brother Shuo, Brother Zhao, and Brother Feng are here too." Wang Xu welcomed Wang Shuo, Zhao Baogang and Feng Pants with a smile.

"What's the matter, I can't come?" Feng Pengtong was very proud of himself at the moment, for fear that others would say that he hugged the thigh. In fact, it turned out that it was just that he became the thigh.

"No way, welcome, how about I ask Wang Fei to get up and come to welcome you." Wang Xu added a little more spice, Feng Pants, you really can't let him take Qiao, not to mention, in this era , in terms of status, he really has nothing to do with it.

"Don't dare, don't dare, you're welcome." Feng's pants quickly went downhill. He didn't know which of his tendons were wrong, so he said something to Wang Xu. Wang Shuo even had to wear it, not to mention his status was much higher than Wang Shuo's. The second king.

"If you do this again, don't come here next time." Wang Shuo also retorted, secretly scolding Feng Pants for looking for trouble.

"No, no, I can contact you anytime if you want to drink." Wang Xu didn't intend to make things worse. Feng Pengteng still did something good later. Although he had some faults, are there any faults among directors in this era?

It's better than having no abilities and a lot of problems. Wang Xu has long since looked away. Just look at his works for people in the entertainment industry. For specific individuals, don't brag about them and avoid disasters. Smashed himself.

As for what happens after them, if they break the law, the state will naturally take care of it, and other ordinary people cannot.
