The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 615 Thoughts on Chinese Language Programming

Faced with such a sudden conference call, Zuo Sicheng and Liu Nian were both stupefied, but they still didn't dare to delay Boss Huang's order, even though it was already early morning in China, they were still the first to respond. Started the conference call.

"Foreigners are unreliable, and we still have to rely on our own mobile phones in the future!" Boss Huang said straight to the point.

Boss Huang's original plan was to use his foresight to acquire Android in advance, and then occupy the other half of the mobile phone system market.It even plans to take advantage of the development trend of mobile phones to release smart phones in advance, thereby establishing the general trend of the smart phone market.

But after acquiring Android, I discovered that many things did not actually develop according to my plan.

In fact, it cannot be said that Android is worse than the other world. In fact, Android companies in the other world are still struggling with the electricity bill at this time... At this time, they have not been acquired by Google. The company only has three or four R&D personnel, and even semi-finished products None of them have been developed, and Android is just a rough idea.

At this time, it is much better than the progress in history, but through Andy Rubin's quarrel, Huang He discovered the reason why the later generations of Android have never been able to achieve an advantage with Apple in the system, that is, the company is essentially There is a problem, or there is a problem with Andy Rubin, or something.

This forced Boss Huang to change his plan and make another preparation, which was to create another mobile phone system by himself.

"Boss, I don't know what's wrong with Android, but I have tried the prototype and trial version of Android. I think if we want to achieve the level of Android from scratch, it may take four or five years." Years, and double the manpower and material resources, this is not worthwhile!" Liu Nian, who is in charge of the entire mobile phone business, said sincerely.

He really felt that his boss was a little out of order. He was working on a mobile phone system. In fact, it was nothing more than going the same way as Android.

"No, I'm not going to go down the Android road again, but I'm going to take a completely new road! A road that no one has ever walked before!" Huang He knew what Liu Nian was thinking, Boss Huang was not that stupid , if he is not satisfied with Android, he can directly replace Andy Rubin. Anyway, Boss Huang holds absolute control over the Android Group. But if he really made up his mind to take Andy Rubin out of the air, that would be no problem.

"A road that has never been taken before?" Zuo Sicheng pondered for a while, and then said, "Boss, are you planning to use gold thin chips to build mobile phone chips?"

Well, Zuo Sicheng is really good, he guessed Boss Huang's purpose in an instant, and shocked Liu Nian who was beside him.

"Yes, I have this plan!" Boss Huang admitted very simply, and then asked, "How is it? Is there a technical problem?"

"Please boss, I have only taken over for two months, how can I answer your technical questions!" Zuo Sicheng said with a smile.

"You must have some technical intuition!" Huang He laughed.

"This really exists!" Zuo Sicheng smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Actually, just yesterday, I have completed the first architecture design of the chip. Although this architecture can only perform the simplest calculations, it is only a feasible test. models of degrees and underlying data.”

"However, according to the data from this model, the energy consumption required by the quinary gold dilute chip with the same size and computing power is only one-eighth of that of the binary chip."

"That is to say, if you compare a quinary chip with the same computing power with a binary chip, the quinary chip only needs 5/1 of the power consumption of the binary chip, and when it is working at full capacity, the temperature will not even exceed 8 degrees...unless it's over 50 degrees indoors right now."

"Let's put it this way, only a 12W power supply is needed, and the gold dilute chip can work at full capacity."

"Really? This is really great! In this way, the problems that restrict the maximum computing power and power consumption of mobile phone chips can all be solved!" Hearing this news, Liu Nian exclaimed excitedly stand up.

Andy Rubin also complained to Boss Huang before that the fundamental reason why the experience of using the first-generation Android system was so bad was because the computing power of the chip was insufficient.

The fundamental reason why the computing power of the chip is so insufficient lies in the limitation of energy consumption.Because of the usage scenarios of the mobile phone, it is impossible to carry a power supply of several hundred watts for power supply at any time. The voltage and current that the mobile phone battery can provide are quite limited. Designed and used with low power consumption.

Although the current architecture provided by Arm has produced chips specially provided for mobile phones, which can greatly improve the ratio of power consumption to computing power, but this cannot fundamentally change the problem of low computing power caused by low power consumption. , not to mention the X60 architecture of computer chips, which is stronger than arm in terms of efficiency and complexity.

But now, if the chip is made of thin gold, it only needs 12W power supply. This kind of power supply is the parameter data that can be realized by the battery of the mobile phone. In this way, the mobile phone chip is fully capable of achieving the same computing power as the computer chip. Power effect, as for the biggest problem of mobile phone computing power, it was solved directly in this way!

It's no wonder that Liu Nian was so excited when he heard it. Any company that is engaged in smart phones will be extremely excited to hear this news.

"Besides, I have another idea!" Zuo Sicheng said.

"What idea? Say it quickly!" Liu Nian asked impatiently before Boss Huang could speak.

"That is, I found that all the current basic programming languages ​​are not suitable for quinary chips at all. Their level is too low, and quinary chips need a more advanced programming language!" Zuo Sicheng said immediately.

"A more advanced programming language? What does this mean?" Boss Huang asked in a daze. Does this programming language have high-level and low-level points?Isn't it all a string of codes?

"Of course, all current programming languages ​​are designed based on binary computers, so the core logic of their programming is just the change of 0 and 1, and then through a series of 1 and 0 instruction strings, a program is finally completed!"

"In this way, even making the simplest application program requires thousands of lines of instructions, and some complicated programs currently require tens of millions of lines."

“但是5进制计算机不同，因为它能够产生0·1·2·3·4这5个不同的选择和变化，所以在编程的时候就不再是0和1的变化了，而是这5个不同量态的变化。”

"To put it simply, the previous one-line program could only control one change. But now the one-line program can control five different variables."

"But if this is the case, the programming language composed of English words cannot adapt to the programming of quinary computers at all. Because a word represents a meaning, this meaning is fixed, and it cannot be expanded to more meanings."

"It may be a bit complicated to say this. The simplest way to describe it is that the current British Oxford Dictionary has collected 25 English words. If you remove 20% of the uncommon English words, the number of commonly used English words It has also reached 20. The reason for this is that English words cannot be used in series. Every time a new thing appears, a new word needs to be invented to describe it. So I say this is a very low-level The language is very boring."

"On the contrary, Chinese is the most advanced language in the world. 3000 Chinese characters can cover 99% of Chinese usage scenarios. In fact, the most commonly used Chinese characters by Chinese people are actually only 1240. The quantity demand is only English 1% of words."

"Why is there such a situation?"

"Actually, at its root, English is simpler than Chinese characters. If English gets rid of everything and returns to its most essential state, it is just 26 English letters. Everything is based on these 26 English letters. Alphabet combinations were born."

"And Chinese can be understood as being composed of 3000 Chinese characters. In fact, the Chinese people are very great. If every human brain that uses English is a 26-base computer, then the Chinese people's The brain is a 3000 base computer, don’t you think it’s particularly scary?”

"That alone explains why Chinese is the most advanced language in the world."

"Not to mention that Chinese is actually a kind of pictograph. Even if you don't understand Chinese, just by seeing the Chinese pattern, there is a certain chance that you can associate the meaning behind the Chinese."

"If these two languages ​​are put into computer programming texts, the 26 English letters can be arranged in pairs to produce 650 different changes."

"However, different combinations of 3000 Chinese characters can produce nearly 900 million different variations."

"More importantly, because English does not have the meaning of a single word, two human beings who have only learned individual English letters and Chinese characters, when two English letters are combined, the English learners will not understand this at all. What's the point of the two English letters?"

"For example, in, assuming you are a person who has only learned English letters, can you know the meaning of this in?"

"On the contrary, I put the two Chinese characters melon and zi together. Even if you have never seen melon seeds, you can probably guess that this should mean the son of watermelon."

"To give another example, I put wind and horse, these two absolutely irrelevant things together, and formed the word wind horse."

"Well, the word "fengma" definitely does not exist in Chinese, but the first time you see this word, I believe that the first reaction of 90% of Chinese people is the meaning of the word "fengma", which refers to a horse. A horse that runs as fast as the wind."

"There is no need for any explanation or prior communication. All Chinese people can have the same judgment and understanding in a short period of time when they see this word. This is the greatness of the Chinese language."

"And this is what I want to do. I think that if there is nothing in the world that is more suitable for quinary computers than Chinese, quinary computers should naturally use a more advanced Chinese as a programming language!" Zuo Sicheng finally said.
