Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Fangbei Company.

"Brother Yang, that Engineer Liu looks so pitiful," Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but say. Watching Qin Yang orchestrate everything from behind the scenes, ruthlessly fleecing a fat sheep, Nie Xiaoqian's sympathy began to overflow.

"Some people don't need pity. They only care about their own interests and never consider the country," Qin Yang said. "This Engineer Liu is full of praise for foreign goods. If he gains power, our country's computer industry will be ruined by him, reduced to a simple assembly plant, and he'll still be smug about it."

"Brother Yang, you're amazing. You can even see what will happen in the future."

"Of course. Your Brother Yang has always been this awesome."

Qin Yang was determined to fleece Engineer Liu. Since he had come to this world, he absolutely couldn't allow certain people, shouting high-sounding slogans, to brazenly bury the country's future and gain the right to speak. Technology knows no borders? Hmph, they only say half the sentence. Why don't they mention the second half?

It's just like reading without seeking thorough understanding. Everyone will say the first half, that you don't need to understand too deeply, just be so-so. In reality, it's for the sake of saying the second half: 'delighting in a moment of understanding, one happily forgets to eat,' meaning you don't need to understand too thoroughly, as long as there are gains.

"Technology knows no borders" serves the second half, which is: scientists have their own motherland!

Engineers Huang and Ni are truly contributing to the country's technological development, and he must give these people room to develop.

Let the country's electronics industry develop, narrowing the gap with the outside world, until it catches up with the world's advanced level. In this process, constantly filling the domestic market with domestic goods will cultivate users' habits.

Now, the hardware team is already set up, and next is the software problem.

The reason why domestic processors in later generations failed to develop was due to many reasons. Besides the performance gap, there was also the ecosystem problem. All kinds of software were matched to Windows, and software companies had to make a profit, so they wouldn't match a specific system separately.

But now it's different. This is only '83!

What was in '83?

Microsoft's first window operating system, Windows 1.0, only started development this year and was officially released in '85. Its biggest feature was the introduction of a graphical interface. Of course, this was much later than Apple, after all, Apple had already used a graphical interface when it released Macintosh in '84.

Right now, the mainstream computer system still operates under a command prompt. An excellent programmer can create a DOS in a week or two, and ordinary users don't have much usage habits yet.

Microsoft continued its efforts, releasing version 2.0 in '87 and version 3.0 in '90, but they were still vassals of DOS. It wasn't until NT that it matured, and it wasn't until Win98 that it began to dominate the market.

Of course, many methods were used at the time, such as piracy. First, use piracy to cultivate users' habits, and then pursue copyright after users are accustomed to the system. At least official departments have to use genuine versions, which made a lot of money.

For chips, they will use their own. For software, they also need to use their own!

He found talented people for hardware, and software was no exception.

Who to look for?

While he was chatting with Nie Xiaoqian, someone walked in from outside: "Xiao Yang, you're too amazing. The people I was looking for are all in the place you said. Did you investigate them beforehand?"

There was only one person who called Qin Yang "Xiao Yang": Lin Heping!

Lin Heping hadn't returned to the team and stayed here to help. For Qin Yang, he was the first choice for doing many things, but finding people was just a side task.

"Okay, have they all been brought over?"

"That's right, they're in the meeting room."

"Okay, let's go over."

"I'll go too," Nie Xiaoqian said, following him out.

Several people were sitting in the meeting room, excitedly discussing.

"Are you Yan Chao? The Yan Chao who wrote CCDOS?" A thin young man said, "My name is Wang Min. I've been studying how to input Chinese characters into computers. I decided to break down Chinese characters into five strokes. I believe that transplanting my Wubi input method into your system will definitely make the computer easier to use!"

"I'm Qiu Jun. I just made a borrowing and returning book system for the library," a person wearing glasses introduced himself softly.

The eighties were full of geniuses! Those famous internet companies of later generations hadn't appeared yet. The world of computer software belonged to individuals. As long as a person had the ability, they could create history!

Yan Chao presided over the development of the display card, which allowed Chinese characters to be displayed like English. Even the electronic voting system in the Great Hall of the People was made by him. Of course, his most glorious achievement was spending five months creating CCDOS.

In this era, the computer operating system was still mainly DOS, but they were all in English. The CCDOS he made was a DOS system that could display Chinese characters. With this system, Eastern Chinese characters truly had an identity on computers!

Each of them was carrying a man-made leather bag, carefully. Inside were their treasures: hard drives removed from computers! As programmers, they regarded their technology as their lifeblood, and they had to take it with them wherever they went. Every day after finishing work, they had to take down the results and take them away.

They were originally fighting alone, but now they had gathered together. This was because of one person, General Manager Qin of the 960 Factory. His magic was talked about by everyone.

"I wonder what General Manager Qin has asked us to come here for?" Everyone finally brought the topic to the point.

"To create the myth of our nation's software industry!" A voice sounded from behind.
