Chapter 390: Low-key Xiao Li doesn't pretend

After all, the kernel is not a complete operating system. Zhou Yang and Li Guangde, the two hardware giants - especially Li Guangde who is engaged in industrial design - cannot intuitively feel the value of the Luoshen kernel.

So at the moment, they seem to have the strongest aura among everyone.

Zhou Yang works on hardware at Lola and is considered a figure with more say in the domestic mobile phone hardware field; Li Guangde enjoys a high reputation in the field of industrial design and is considered a senior talent.

The two of them are much higher in rank than other employees, and they are all financially independent and here to pursue their dreams - or maybe they just feel curious and want to join in for fun, so their relationship with Li Yan is more like a partnership than a superior-subordinate relationship.

Zhou Yang is a bald middle-aged man with a square face that is neither fat nor thin. He often has a wise frown on his face, which fits the public's stereotype of "technical leadership" very well.

I usually like to wear formal clothes, but unfortunately, although I am tall, my proportions are not very harmonious, so I don’t look handsome enough.

He knew Sun Miao. A friend of his had invited Zhou Yang to dinner before, just to let him use his connections to help him recruit Sun Miao, the young talent.

So Zhou Yang was a little surprised at Sun Miao's performance at the meeting.

As far as he knew, this was a very proud junior.

How can one show a sense of "well-behaved"?

As for Li Guangde, to put it bluntly, he is not very good at the mobile phone manufacturing process and is not in the same circle as the others here.

He didn't understand what was so great about Li Yan.

Li Guangde is a very thin man. He always wears small round-frame glasses. He has good taste in clothes and a good temperament.

He asked in a very gentle voice: "Li Yan, although I don't know much about the process of making mobile phones, it sounds like the system is not ready yet. Can the hardware be started?"

"Synchronize, Mr. Li."

"Okay." As mentioned before, Li Guangde really didn't understand.

Li Yan said that the system can be completed in one month, so let’s do it in one month.

Zhou Yang's attention was always not on the point, and he had a great interest in Cao Haibin.

"Mr. Cao, I have heard of your great name for a long time."

"No, Mr. Zhou is the person I have always been learning from." Cao Haibin sat upright at the conference table. When Zhou Yang called on him, he nodded in response.

Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows, "Please give me more advice on the follow-up work, Engineer Cao."

"Mr. Zhou, you are kidding. You are the boss when it comes to hardware. I will learn more."

Is this the “madman” Cao Haibin?

Zhou Yang's expression gradually turned into confusion. "From this point of view, Cao Gong is not the same as the rumors say."

"After working with Mr. Li, I realized that there are always people better than you. My so-called omnipotence is worthless."

Zhou Yang and Li Guangde looked at Li Yan with great curiosity, but Li Yan just waved her hand:
"Let's not talk about the extra words anymore. Let's talk about hardware."

The successful development of the Luoshen core is quite common in future technology.

But obviously not for others.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yan was still in the conference room digesting the new knowledge and experience he had learned this morning and thinking about the subsequent division of labor, when he suddenly received a call from Mai Wen.

He and Academician Ni will soon go to future technology.

Li Yan went to the door to greet him personally, which was a rare occasion. He had deep respect for this old academician who had helped him a lot.

Although Academician Ni had white hair and was very thin, his eyes actually showed some youthfulness at this moment. After a few words of greeting, he was eager to see the results.

Li Yan has put a simple shell on the Luoshen core to make the test more intuitive.

The old academician's eyes sparkled as he stood to one side with Mai Wen, watching Li Yan conduct kernel testing.

Running the test suite, automatic test, and fault-tolerance test, Li Yan explained the design ideas of the kernel very smoothly while demonstrating the test.

Academician Ni just listened quietly and nodded frequently.

He only brought Mai Wen with him this time, so it was obviously a very personal action.

So Li Yan just did the demonstration in the office alone.

Although some employees saw the three people, they felt their aura was crushed and didn't even dare to say hello.

After operating for a while, Academician Ni couldn't help but want to try, so Li Yan gladly gave up his seat.

"I don't want anyone to know that I came here this time. I'm afraid of putting pressure on you," said the old man.

"No, your willingness to come is a great affirmation to me."

"Incredible." Academician Ni slowly looked at the screen full of code. "Xiao Li, I have a few questions for you. Please don't feel offended. I hope you can... answer truthfully."

"But it doesn't hurt to ask."

“Is the code all your own?”

At this moment, Academician Ni actually showed a strong sense of nervousness.

Perhaps he had been disappointed too many times and he really didn't dare to have any more expectations.

But I can't help but have expectations for Li Yan, and that's why I'm even more afraid of disappointment.

If Li Yan's core content still applies foreign achievements - especially the rapidly rising Robert system, playing a skin-changing game, then he would be really heartbroken.

He has seen this kind of thing before.

Or I've seen too much.

"They are all mine." Li Yan responded easily.

"No reference to anything?"

"No one else has what I need. Others can only refer to me, but there is no one I can learn from." Li Yan shrugged.

Academician Ni relaxed and asked, "So, how many codes are there in total?"

"More than two million lines."

"I heard that you integrated and modified it by yourself?"

"Yes."

Academician Ni suddenly reached out and grabbed Mai Wen's sleeve, startling Mai Wen so much that he quickly bent forward, worried that his teacher would not stand firmly and fall.

"Mai Wen, look, the cross-river bridge is up as soon as it's spoken."

"Yes." Mai Wen replied in a low voice.

"What's your comment?" Academician Ni looked at Mai Wen.

"A work of art." Mai Wen sighed, "You can say it is a work of art. It is concise, clear, and stable. It is a level that I cannot reach."

Academician Ni did not respond, but just watched the code scrolling on the screen quietly. He slowly reached out and touched the border of the computer screen, and his expression was a little moved.

"Xiao Li, the system behind this shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

"Not counting."

"Is there anything you need?"

"People." Li Yan said with a smile, "I think I should be able to expand the capacity."

"Yes, there will be. Whatever you want, there will be."

Li Yan did not hold a press conference for the completion of the Luoshen kernel. Anyway, the Hetu system would be fully released in a month or so. By then, it would be valuable to showcase the results on the preliminary test machine developed in collaboration with the Chuang clan.

But the computer community obviously doesn't think so.

Academician Ni’s proactive publicity is more effective than any press conference.

Li Yan spent the whole day thinking about "how to improve the system" and eventually fell asleep with a heavy heart.

As a result, when I woke up the next day, Weibo exploded. "The first self-developed operating system kernel in China - Luoshen kernel has been successfully developed!"

Similar news are everywhere, and the content is basically the same: Academician Ni believes it is necessary to give everyone a shot of cardiac stimulant.

He also sent a special text message to Li Yan: The old man acted on his own, don't blame me.

This is good for Li Yan and future technology, Li Yan knows it.

With Academician Ni personally involved, at least the status of the Future Technology project in the eyes of officials, investors and even senior computer talents will be greatly improved.

Judging from the comments of several veteran employees of BGI, the speed and breadth of this wave of information transmission are quite impressive.

"Why did Academician Ni say that? This is not like Yan Shen's usual style!" Lai Yining went to BGI and was not as flamboyant as before, but he was still the most active one.

"You didn't tell us right away!" He Zixiang was much more relaxed than before.

"I guess Yan Shen probably thinks that the successful development of the kernel is nothing. This is his usual style." Deng Yudi remained calm.

Chen Fan silently said that he didn't dare to speak.

Li Yan: “It will only count once the system is completed.”

Then the group went crazy.

Or maybe it could be said that Li Yan’s QQ has been going crazy, even some elementary school classmates who she hadn’t chatted with for a long time couldn’t help but come over to say a few words.

They all expressed surprise and admiration.

Li Yan understood. After all, it had the title of "the first in the country" and it was an academician who said it, but he himself, the protagonist of the story, did not appear on the scene. It really made the story full of high-end and mysterious feeling.

There are some people who come to chat just to express that "I have Li Yan as a friend", and he doesn't reject it.

"Mr. Li," Wang Zi walked into Li Yan's office with a complicated expression, "Within an hour this morning... I received interview requests from no less than thirty media outlets. Look..."

"Help me pick a few." Li Yan waved his hand.

Eh? This answer was beyond Wang Zi's expectation. He thought Li Yan would not accept the interview.

"Come one by one." Li Yan added.

"Okay, Huaxia TV...I want it, right?"

"Are there many media outlets at the same level as him?"

"No, I didn't expect you to accept. If you accept the interview with Huaxia TV, then... normally the local TV station will record it simultaneously and ask you some questions privately later. In this way, we can arrange for about six or seven media outlets to come, so there is no need to come one by one."

"No problem, you can arrange it."

The praise for Li Yan on Weibo has never stopped, although there are certainly doubts.

Especially when Li Yan herself did not show up.

Some people may really dislike seeing everyone speaking the same voice, and can't help but make some comments like "everyone is drunk but I am sober".

The opinions are basically subjective conjectures, such as "Li Yan dare not come forward to show that he is just a puppet of God-making"...

Wait? Create a god?

Netizens immediately educated their brothers and sisters who held this view on the history of friendship, and vividly demonstrated how the previous buddy who debunked the fake "deified product Li Yan" disappeared from the online world.

The sound suddenly became much quieter.

As for those who say "it is impossible to develop a self-developed kernel in such a short time", no one is even too lazy to refute it.

Because how many things about this guy Li Yan seem reasonable?

Even a group of Li Yan's die-hard fans would analyze Li Yan's "personality" and study the question "Why doesn't Li Yan come forward in person", and guess the real answer that is almost the same as Deng Yudi's.

Li Yan quickly gave the answer in front of the camera of Huaxia TV:
"The Luoshen kernel is not a complete achievement. We need to wait for the Hetu system and even the Jiaolong phone."

He also advertised, "We welcome all experts to join us and create a better future together."

As for whether it would be broadcast or not... he couldn't control that. Anyway, the HR girl had been busy day and night since that afternoon.

According to her, the resumes that were initially submitted were so impressive that she couldn't even make the initial screening.

They were all big shots in her eyes. Seeing that there were more than fifty of them, she was reluctant to kick out any of them.

As a result, by the evening, all the fifty people who started out had been kicked out.

Because the resumes that came later were more impressive, and as the saying goes, good things come to those who compare them, so the "big guys" in front suddenly seemed dim.

This HR girl has good abilities, but may be a little lacking in common sense in dealing with people.

Just before getting off work, she ran to the R&D room with great excitement and told everyone who were enjoying the joy of victory that they would have a group of particularly awesome colleagues coming soon, which directly shattered the joyful atmosphere.

To some people, this seemed to be no different from telling them to pack up and leave.

They even began to wonder whether the HR girl's remarks were instructed by Li Yan.

Originally, Li Yan thought that things were almost done at this point, and he could wait until the Hetu system came out before any further outbreak.

But he really didn't expect that he would be on the China News.

This is a traditional program that never changes at 7pm.

According to Lin Zhiyuan, "I heard that Huaxia TV interviewed you. I wanted to watch the news tonight for some reason, but I didn't think about the Huaxia News replay. Suddenly, the words 'Linjiang Province, New Taipei City' appeared on the screen, and then your handsome face appeared!"

Li Yan's heartfelt words, "It's not a complete result," appeared so magnificently on the televisions of people all over the country.

Unfortunately, China Television still cut out his slogan.

The fans are almost going crazy. Some say that Li Yan is the most fan-loving blogger among all the bloggers. He really gives his fans what they want to see!

Then some female fans started saying some “I want to see XX” content that was not so easy to broadcast.

Li Yan realized that the successful research of this kernel had more far-reaching significance than he had imagined.

He can no longer put himself in the perspective of ordinary people, and this matter will continue to ferment.

For example, Li Yan’s Weibo was filled with private messages the next day.

In response, he chose to directly turn off the private message function.

For example, the next day, a large group of teenagers stood at the gate of the industrial park where Future Technology was located, waving flags and cheering for Future Technology, and then were driven away by security guards.

For example, Li Yan was suddenly bombarded with calls, almost all of which were invitations to meetings or dinners. The person with the lowest rank and the smallest status among them was called Wang Peihua.

Li Yan seemed very restrained in the face of all the sudden explosion of information and the flood of praise.

Apart from replying to a few messages from good friends and accepting an interview in which he only said a few words, he almost ignored everything else.

Even with the enthusiastic invitations from senior leaders, he only agreed to attend a negotiation meeting of the highest level and rejected all dinner invitations.

The reason is that "the deadline is tight and requires sufficient focused time."

Friends who are familiar with Li Yan and his Weibo fans who love to see him show off all feel a little uncomfortable.

Faced with such a great opportunity to show off, Li Yan actually restrained himself?
It was not until nearly midnight on December 12 that Li Yan forwarded a Weibo post containing a picture, or rather a screenshot of text:

"According to the information we have learned so far, Future Technology, or Li Yan, spent half a year to create this result with a dozen people in a startup company, without any experience in operating system development, kernel optimization, ready-made tool chains, large-scale project management, mature workflows, or clear future development prospects. He single-handedly arranged the work of three teams, modified and optimized a large amount of code, and finally delivered a result that even Academician Ni took the initiative to support. Without relying on any ready-made resources, he forged a hope for domestic products to compete with the world's top products."

The main body of the microblog is a sentence:

For anyone who understands the domestic operating system environment, it is no exaggeration to call Li Yan a "god".

This Weibo post caused quite a stir, but given that Li Yan revealed too little to reporters, most of the R&D details could only be heard from those who claimed to be employees of Future Technology, so many people questioned the content.

No one said that Li Yan did it "single-handedly." "Why did you help blow it up?"

The content forwarded by Li Yan is:
Later on, you have to send this paragraph twice.
