Chapter 1356: Chapter 648: The Major Event of Yixing
In recent years, the Yutu Robot Company has enjoyed robust growth, participating in numerous cutting-edge technology projects and amassing many partners.
Six months ago, following Yutu Robot Company’s listing, its stock price continued to rise steadily, and its total market value has reached a staggering six hundred billion Yuan. The robot services they provide, such as speech and facial recognition, have dominated most of the domestic market and expanded its business into the international market, transforming into a multinational technology enterprise.
The foundation of Yutu Robot Company’s development is its comprehensive robot operating system.
This operating system has brought about multi-directional expansion. Much like the famous Microsoft, which relied on its computer operating system to become one of the largest technology enterprises, Yutu Robot Company has done the same, except their operating system is for electronics and machinery.
Currently, Yutu Robot Company’s research and development expansion encompasses many fields, mainly focusing on the realm of artificial intelligence.
For instance, autonomous driving technology.
Yutu has already collaborated with several companies to install autonomous driving systems into vehicles for ongoing testing.
If all goes well, homegrown autonomous vehicles will soon be eligible to apply for road permits.
Of course.
The domestic traffic is relatively complex, and the relevant laws are not yet perfected; autonomous vehicles cannot be in self-driving mode at all times. Just obtaining the qualifications to hit the road is quite an achievement.
After Zhao Yi came up with the idea, he immediately contacted Yuan Zhongchen, the CEO of Yutu Robot Company.
Yuan Zhongchen now is no longer the inexperienced youth he once was. He is the head of a renowned firm and one of the country’s wealthiest billionaires, with a personal fortune exceeding sixty billion Yuan.
However, Yuan Zhongchen is still quite young and ambitious, with aspirations to grow the business even larger and to better drive the company’s development.
After hearing Zhao Yi’s idea, Yuan Zhongchen immediately decided to visit Yixing Company for a discussion. In fact, he felt that the development of Chinese compilation software was somewhat uneconomical, but because it was Zhao Yi’s idea, he was certainly going to come over for a talk.
Yuan Zhongchen was swift, arriving at Yixing Company the next day.
Zhao Yi personally received Yuan Zhongchen.
They hadn’t met often, but Zhao Yi was one of the initial investors in Yutu Robot Company, and given their shared pedigree from the He Sect and as sworn brothers, their relationship remained close.
Additionally, in recent years, Yutu Robot has frequently participated in cutting-edge technology projects, maintaining uninterrupted collaboration.
Even in the Z-wave satellite project, Yutu Robot took part, contributing to the research and development of the image control detection system.
By the time they reached the reception room, Zhao Yi directly shared his thoughts, "At present and in the future, English compilation software and software development within the English system have impacted initiative and safety, so I am considering the development of a foundational Chinese compilation system."
Yuan Zhongchen was already aware of the news and nodded, voicing his thoughts, "It’s quite complicated, as difficult as redeveloping our OR operating system."
"Of course. That’s why I wanted to collaborate with you," Zhao Yi said, "If there’s a team in the country that can do this, yours has the most experience and would likely be the fastest. Can you shed some light on the specific challenges?"
Yuan Zhongchen rubbed his forehead and pursed his lips, saying, "I considered it before coming here. There are two main difficulties; one is integrating Chinese." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"We need to effectively integrate and analyze Chinese, expressing more meaning with as few characters as possible."
"This will require many experts in Chinese language."
"Because each character needs to be recompiled into fundamental data and compiled into a corresponding identifier, a data packet, in order for the physical layer to recognize it. For each character’s compilation content, detailed documentation is necessary."
"This is a massive undertaking, and it’s possible every character’s compilation might need several engineers laboring for a month to complete." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Continuing, Yuan Zhongchen said, "Actually, writing the compilation program isn’t particularly challenging. The main difficulty lies in defining the meanings of Chinese characters and the recognition of execution operations, which is complex. This area will need many experts to study the text and its meanings, ensuring no possible needed command is overlooked. If there’s an oversight, it will be quite troublesome to address it later."
Zhao Yi, listening, couldn’t help but give a thumbs up and laugh, saying, "In this regard, consulting the experts is essential indeed." He was complimenting Yuan Zhongchen’s keen eye in identifying the crux of the issue.
Embarrassed, Yuan Zhongchen smiled and continued, "The second issue is the fundamental command layer, like the most basic DOS operating system. Any command that gets processed by the physical layer becomes extremely complicated, and recompiling each command involves a vast amount of work."
"However, now, unlike decades ago, we have sufficient references to guide us in the writing process, so we’re not worried about missing any features."
The ’vast amount of work’ Yuan Zhongchen referred to was not mentioned lightly. Computer technology development began in the sixties and seventies, exploded in the eighties and nineties, and wasn’t until the late nineties and into the new millennium that widespread adoption occurred.
While computer research started earlier overseas, it also built up over decades, eventually leading to the creation of the DOS operating system.
Even the simplest DOS operating system was developed on the back of extensive accumulations.
