Chapter 12 The Engineer's Nightmare
That night, Wang Fan slept very comfortably, but the engineers at home and abroad were unlucky.

At Qualcomm headquarters, all engineers of Chinese descent and proficient in Chinese are still burning the lights at night, and there are even a few linguists who specialize in Chinese.

Although many people have worked for more than 20 hours in a row and their eyes are bloodshot, the boss still has no plans to let them go.

At this moment, even in the United States, a country that advocates freedom and human rights, no one dares to mention the word rest.

Because there are two special engineers, they have already packed up and left, just because they said a few words...

Of course, it is not only the engineers who are tired, but also the executives who have not closed their eyes.

The conference room at the headquarters was full of people, from the president to the leaders of various departments.

All of them paid close attention to the cracking with almost no progress, and at the same time, they were having endless discussions, and there were angry roars from time to time.

After all, since the listing of 810, Qualcomm's stock price has been falling all the way, and its market value has shrunk by nearly 30.00%.

Faced with the life-saving straw of CPU intelligent control software, executives who do not want to leave get out of class early will never give up.

"How's the progress? Have you cracked it?" Albert Kingsley pinched his waist, his hair was a little disheveled, and his face was tired.

As the CEO of Qualcomm, he hasn't been in such a mess for a long time.From the conference room to the laboratory, for more than 20 hours, he couldn't count how many times he ran.

Even more embarrassing is the chief CPU architecture engineer, Hank Masefield, who is sitting on pins and needles every moment.From the lofty sentiments at the beginning, to now my heart is ashamed.

Every time he faced a question from the CEO, he could only shake his head helplessly.

"Trash!" Albert Kingsley couldn't bear it anymore, turned and slammed the door to leave.

Hank Masefield was sweating coldly on his forehead, as if he had already realized that he was not far from the end of get out of class.

For this software, he is very helpless.For software developers, they hate it even more.

It's fine if he can't develop it by himself, but he can't even crack it. I really feel sorry for his title of chief engineer.

With a group of people under him, they used almost all methods and fought hard for more than 20 hours, but they still could only analyze the superficial settings.Only know that there is a limit software, it should be 72 hours.

Calculated from activation, the software will be forcibly stopped after 72 hours.There is an internal timer inside, and it will end when the time expires.Thereby getting rid of the dependence on network time and mobile phone system time.It also blocks the way for users to extend the usage period by manually changing the system time.

As for the further core architecture, it cannot be cracked at all, let alone the crucial source code.

This encryption method may not be very advanced, but the logical thinking is so weird that it is completely confusing.

In fact, everyone understands that the possibility of cracking this software is less than one in ten thousand.

But in the face of the ardent hopes of the top management, they really couldn't say it...

The same thing happened domestically.

Xiaomi headquarters.Lei Jun and other executives were present, as well as their partner, Lianxin's executives.

From a strategic point of view, Xiaomi Technology cannot only rely on Qualcomm, but must develop its own CPU.

But after all, Xiaomi Technology has only been established for 5 years. Despite the rapid development, the technology accumulation is still weak, let alone the research and development of CPUs, so it can only settle for the next best thing and cooperate with Lianxin.

Most of the current mobile CPU chips use the arm architecture. As long as they are authorized and developed using the public version architecture, the difficulty is greatly reduced.

As for independent research and development of their own architecture, even Samsung and Qualcomm are only based on ARM, abandoning the public version of the architecture and starting their own research and development.

The introduction of a new underlying architecture is undoubtedly a dream.

R&D is one thing, optimization is another.To a certain extent, optimization is even more important than research and development.

Just like Qualcomm 810, there is no doubt that it is powerful, but the optimization is not good, the result is greatly reduced, and the actual level is not as good as the previous generation 801 when it is used heavily.

CPU intelligent control software is undoubtedly at the forefront of CPU optimization.Not to mention the huge boost effect, it is already shocking that different brands can be eaten by all ages.

What's more, the perfect solution to the heat problem of 810 makes its performance equal to or even surpass that of Samsung's 7420.

If you can get inspiration from it, it will be of great help to Xiaomi and Lianxin.

But good things like pie in the sky have never been rare.

Engineers on both sides also got nothing.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was a bit dull, Lei Jun frowned, got up, found a quiet place, took out a mobile phone that hadn't been released yet, and dialed a number...

Similar scenarios are staged at the headquarters of HTC, LG, Sony, Huawei, MediaTek and others.

This night, Wang Fan slept comfortably, but it was a nightmare for many engineers all over the world, destined to be a sleepless night.

There was only one exam the next morning, and with Qiandu in hand, it was easy to handle.But he didn't meet Song Qian again, so he lost the teasing fun, so Wang Fan simply passed the half-hour limit, handed in the paper and left.

Because I got up late in the morning, I didn't have time to eat.So he went around the cafeteria first.

Asked for a bowl of sliced ​​noodles, added a marinated egg, turned around, and suddenly found a familiar figure in the crowd.

Dark blue jeans, light shirt.Long straight legs, high buttocks, a small waist that can be grasped, and waterfall-like shawl hair.

It's all intoxicating, such a proud figure, who is Song Qian?
Seeing Song Qian sit down, Wang Fan walked over cheekily, sat directly opposite Song Qian under the strange eyes of the surrounding students, and said familiarly: "Beauty, let's make a table!"

Song Qian was a little annoyed, she looked up, her face was full of surprise, and she said in a little panic, "Why is it you!"

"Why can't it be me?"

"Aren't you taking an exam?"

It can be seen that Song Qian's condition is very bad. Even if she wears colored contact lenses, she can't hide the bloodshot eyes. Could it be that she didn't sleep well last night?
Wang Fan smiled lightly: "The paper is handed in, you know I will be fast."

Song Qian nodded and fell silent.Wang Fan also stopped talking and started eating his own noodles.

Possibly in order to maintain her figure, Song Qian's breakfast is very simple: a fried dough stick, a small cup of soy milk, and a small portion of pickles.

Song Qian didn't leave in a hurry after eating, but just looked at Wang Fan in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.Naturally, Wang Fan didn't care.

For a long time, I watched Wang Fan finish his meal and prepare to leave.Song Qian couldn't help but said, "Then...you know all about it, right?"

Wang Fan nodded, seeing Song Qian hesitated to speak, and sat down again.

"You won't blame me, will you?" Song Qian lowered her voice, she actually looked like a little girl at this moment.

Wang Fan was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I don't blame you, didn't I also tease you? Haha, you didn't come today, I am very bored."

Song Qian's face turned red, she gave him a blank look, and said, "I'm sorry, but I have no other choice. I just found out that you failed a subject before, plus yesterday's two subjects, and today..."

Wang Fan interrupted her and asked directly: "Old man Song arranged for you, right?"

Song Qian nodded: "He said you would cheat and asked me to watch you. You know, I'm just a trainee teacher who just graduated, and I can't even count as a contract worker now. He is the director of the Academic Affairs Office, and I can't refuse. I I planned to watch you twice, I really didn't know you had failed before."

The University of Science and Technology is very strict, and students who fail three subjects will be forced to drop out of school.

Wang Fan knew in his heart that the deeds of old man Yang and Nie Chen would naturally not be revealed.For other professors, even if old man Yang is the director of the Academic Affairs Office, they still don't give face.And Song Qian, an intern, had to follow.

What surprised Wang Fan was that Song Qian only stared at two games and left him a way.But she didn't know that her usual grades had been cancelled, and she had failed a subject before.

But all of this doesn't matter anymore, after all, their conspiracy is destined to be in vain.

In the end, Song Qian insisted on leaving Wang Fan's mobile phone number...
