I Found A Planet

play hard.

In order to kill the nebula system promoted by Xinghai Technology, Gu Ge really worked hard!

They would rather bear the huge risk of public opinion, even if they are strictly investigated by the information security department of country Z, even if they become the target of public criticism, they still do such things as opening the back door.

Because if you don't do it, you are waiting for death slowly... With the growth rate of the Nebula system, it will threaten the dominance of the Android system in half a year.

If it is done, there is still a glimmer of hope, as long as the nebula system is killed and strangled in the cradle! Let the spokesperson come out to apologize, find a few "unintentional" excuses, and at most be fined by the country Z government... These are all acceptable.

As long as the Nebula system can be killed, as long as most people in country Z are still using Android...the price paid now, there will be ways to make up for it in the future.

So they did it without hesitation.

...

Hardware R\u0026D department.

A senior hardware engineer found the "back door" of Google's manipulation.

"They fiddled with the motherboard drivers."

The engineer said: "The java virtual machine implants a line of detection code into the motherboard driver. When you flash the phone, if it is an Android system, the flashing can pass; if it is a non-Android system, this line of detection code will be activated. Let the motherboard circuit control chip fail to work, resulting in the phone not being able to boot."

"This kind of backdoor at the driver level is not terrible, it is a backdoor that can be blocked more easily."

"What's really scary is the backdoor written in the hardware code. This kind of backdoor cannot be blocked unless the faulty hardware is replaced."

As for whether there is such a back door, there is no doubt that there must be it through the behavior of Google, but this kind of "back door" is the killer weapon that will kill you in the end, and it will not be opened until the last moment.

There are also several ready-made examples:

In the Gulf War in 1991, the multinational coalition forces carried out comprehensive air strikes on Iraq, but Iraq's radar early warning system did not respond. The reason was that the country's air defense radars were all purchased from France, and all internal chips were from M countries.

During the Iranian nuclear crisis in 2000, the "Stuxnet virus" became famous in the first World War, which almost paralyzed all the centrifuge equipment in the country, causing the country's nuclear program to stagnate for several years... The reason is that the computers that control the centrifuges are all used received a chip from country M.

In 20X8, the "fuse door" incident broke out at Intel Corporation. Many of the company's chips had serious technical defects that lasted for more than ten years. Professionals pointed out that the vulnerabilities caused by Intel chip defects may affect almost all computer and mobile device users Hundreds of millions of devices are affected by the security of personal information.

It is not clear whether it is safe to use foreign systems and foreign chips. The vast majority of people just feel that it is easy to use, and they don’t care much about these issues. Only when the situation changes drastically and a crisis breaks out will they find it is too late. Too late, too late to regret.

"What's the way to completely solve the backdoor threat?" Chen Jin asked.

"From hardware to software, all use our own products."

The engineer said: "Including your own CPU, your own motherboard, DARM memory, NAND storage, your own battery, camera, and screen, it is best to make all of them domestic."

"At the software level, including the operating system, underlying drivers, and hardware programs, it is best to use your own programs to be absolutely safe and controllable. Even if there are some loopholes that are inevitable, they are loopholes that are in our hands. The meaning is the same as It’s completely different to have control in someone else’s hands.”

Chen Jin nodded: "In other words, our Nebula operating system must achieve all hardware localization in order to completely get rid of the threat of backdoors."

"Yes!"

The Nebula system is not afraid of any threats only if it is installed on a purely domestic mobile phone.

By the way, can Xinghai Technology do this?

able!

Now Chen Jin has Zhongxin International in his left hand and Tsinghua Unigroup in his right hand. CPU, memory, and storage chips can all be produced independently. There are many domestic suppliers of hardware such as screens, motherboards, cameras, and batteries, and he has created a "purely domestic mobile phone." , no big problem.

But the problem is that mobile phone manufacturers all adopt a shelf-type procurement strategy. In the process of purchasing various chips and components, they not only look at the price, but also look at the performance. They don’t look at whether you are a domestic component, but at your cost performance. Whether it is high or not, they will only place orders for parts with the highest cost performance... Mobile phone manufacturers' profits are meager, otherwise they cannot survive.

Therefore, if Xinghai Company wants to promote the Nebula system, it must ask the hardware manufacturers that have joined the "Starsoft Alliance" to purchase domestic parts as much as possible, and even abandon the "principle of shelf-style procurement" when necessary, and purchase some domestic parts that are not very cost-effective.

But can many hardware manufacturers accept such a request?

Chen Jin shook his head. He felt that even if he promised that Zhongxin International and Tsinghua Unigroup's chips would be cheaper, those hardware manufacturers would still be very embarrassed, and there might not be too many responders!

He gritted his teeth: "It's really impossible, Xinghai Technology can only end up making phones! Mobile phones are not very profitable, and they have to lose money! But someone has to do it, and they don't pick the head. Xinghai Technology will pick the head!"

but.

Perhaps it felt the enormous difficulties Xinghai Technology was facing.

On May 8th.

On the other side of the country, led by Elder No. 2, a large number of officials from various departments were sent to inspect Xinghai Technology in detail.

A shocking gift package was sent to Xinghai Technology!

Including 10 billion financial support (deductible in the form of tax exemption).

Government procurement orders worth 30 billion yuan were issued.

At the symposium.

The elder said solemnly to Chen Jin: "Xiao Chen, I will leave the task of breaking the monopoly of foreign systems to you."

"The support funds of 10 billion may be far from enough. I hope you don't feel too little, and don't give up this cause easily."

"I promise here that as long as your mobile phone is produced nationwide from hardware to software, the government will be the first to purchase it! Replace all civil servants with a Nebula mobile phone!"

"There are also many equipment used by scientific research units and the military. Anyone equipped with an Android system will be eliminated! All orders are for you!"

"Our attitude is clear, no matter how much we pay, we must not allow problematic systems to infiltrate every key department."

"Xiao Chen, please believe in the country's promises and the country's capabilities. As long as you can make and make the product well, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it or scale it up...the country is your most solid backing."

After the "backdoor incident" of the Android system broke out, the country has made up its mind this time, at least in all government agencies, to completely eliminate the Android system.

Changed to support the domestic Nebula system.

Chen Jin was overjoyed. With the help of the country and the government's order for blood transfusions, he still had to worry about what to do with this and that, so he just rolled up his sleeves and worked hard.

He immediately made a promise: he will definitely speed up the progress, and strive to make the first product equipped with the Nebula system within three months... He will never disappoint the country's ardent expectations.

...

May 10.

The news of the strategic cooperation between Xinghai Technology and the government was announced.

The broad masses of the people collectively cheered up and applauded.

The number of domestic hardware manufacturers applying to join the "Starsoft Alliance" has increased dramatically.

In order to obtain government procurement orders, mobile phone manufacturers such as Chili Pepper Company and Ai Ai Mobile Phone Company have accepted Xinghai Technology's conditions, agreed to the principle of "domestic components first", and promised to purchase all mobile phone parts as much as possible.

The confidence of the programmers was greatly boosted, and they were optimistic about the Nebula system. The download volume of "Nebula Studio" exceeded 500,000 times that day.

Only the executives of Gu Ge Company had blank expressions and cold hands and feet.

Founder Larry Page murmured, "Did we...do the stupidest thing?"
