I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 294 "Shimmer" is born!
"The new modular operating system... is interesting, it is completely different from the mainstream operating systems such as WINDOWS, Linux, and Unix in the world today."

Now, after absorbing and integrating theoretical knowledge such as operating system principles, Qin Ke's understanding of operating systems is far better than that of any undergraduate majoring in computer science and technology.

At present, the mainstream operating systems in the world, whether it is PC or mobile, are divided into three major camps in the final analysis, windows, Linux, and Unix. Now the most mainstream Android on mobile phones is based on Linux, while the fruit's IOS is based on Unix, of course, if you insist on its origin, Linux and even Windows have borrowed the development thinking of Unix, which can be said to have evolved from Unix.

But if we divide it from the more original thinking of operating system development, it is mainly divided into microkernel, single kernel (macrokernel) and external kernel, mixed kernel (multi-core), etc., and also includes the brief structure that has become history (its representative for MS-DOS).

The current popular linux operating systems, including Android, are all single-core, that is, all modules of the operating system kernel (including process scheduling, memory management, file system, device drivers, etc.) run in the kernel state and have the ability to directly operate the hardware.

The hybrid kernel operating systems mainly include Windows and IOS. The hybrid kernel is very similar to the microkernel structure, except that more of its components run in the core state to obtain faster execution speed.

The microkernel can realize service modularization, high portability, and high kernel security, but the execution efficiency is poor. At present, the operating system using the microkernel is mainly the petal HMOS.

But now the "New Modular Operating System Design Ideas" given to Qin Ke by the system looks a bit similar to a hybrid kernel on the surface, but the key points are completely different.

It is a completely modular operating system, each function can be modularized, and then combined, just like building blocks, composed of countless small modules to form a large module, and then form a whole.

Freedom and compatibility are the biggest highlights of this new modular operating system.

Freedom is because any manufacturer or even any individual can easily create the most personal and easy-to-use operating system according to their own needs. How rich your imagination is, what it can become.

What guarantees this unprecedented degree of freedom is its compatibility.

It is like water is compatible with any container, it is compatible with any computer hardware, even an antique computer can be installed and run, but it can provide fewer functions.

If your computer has a touch screen, then the operating system can be controlled by the touch screen. If you have a mouse, you can use a mouse. If you have a keyboard, you can use a keyboard. If you have a camera, it can also directly read lips and gestures.

It is compatible with applications in any format, whether it is windows, Linux, Android, fruit IOS... programs in various formats can be automatically decomposed, recompiled, installed and used, and at the same time improve execution efficiency.

The only limitation is the need for networking. Because of the modularity, its core is very simple, and all rich functions need to be realized by downloading modules from the "small module warehouse".

And the biggest and most powerful thing about this operating system lies in the core components.

It is like a universal glue, manages the addition and subtraction of all modules, and precisely allocates hardware resources among various modules.

And this core component is AI, artificial intelligence.

This AI is different from siri and Xiaoai classmates on the market, but a real AI core with a considerable learning mechanism.

No wonder the system will develop this "new modular operating system" as the basis of the branch technology "artificial intelligence", because this operating system is actually the residence of "artificial intelligence", and it is also the "arsenal" for it to realize all functions.

What Qin Ke is doing now is to first establish a modular operating system architecture, and use a simplified AI as the core to write several basic modules to form a new modular operating system with basic functions.

In "New Modular Operating System Design Ideas", a very simple AI core code is provided, more than 70,000 lines, which can only be called the minimum AI configuration of the original version.The advantage is that there are comments on each line, which is obviously for Qin Ke to learn and use as a practice.

With the scientific thinking ability, logical ability, and world-class programming ability that are six times that of normal high school students, Qin Ke completely understood the [-] lines of code in about two hours.

At this time, dawn had appeared in the sky, and Qin Ke, who hadn't slept all night, was not sleepy at all. He directly activated the function of the "virtual scientific research experiment center" and put his consciousness into it.

When he came to the "Artificial Intelligence Research Laboratory", Qin Kexin bought a home-made notebook that was quietly waiting inside, and the compilation environment of python, Java, and C++ had been installed on it.

Qin Ke took a deep breath, repeated the design idea of ​​the entire operating system in his mind several times, and then began to write the first module, which is the most core component-v0.1 version of AI.

For a conventional operating system, the code is at least tens of millions of lines. For example, Windows 7 has more than 5000 million lines of code. The codes of different versions of Linux vary in length, but the simplest one has nearly 2000 million lines of code, and the complex one has nearly 7000 million lines of code. Feature-diverse can exceed [-] million lines of code.

These are just the condensed codes of the final version. If you count the obsolete, problematic, and condensed codes, it is not unusual for the total number of lines to exceed 1 million.

This is simply not something that any programmer can write, let alone that there are countless tests and DEBUGs after the code is written.

But in this "virtual scientific research and experiment center", Qin Ke's hand speed is not limited by his physical body in the real world. No matter how fast his thinking speed is, he can code as fast as he can.

It only took him about 15 minutes to complete the entry of the v0.1 version of the AI ​​code, and then spent nearly two hours making repeated revisions and perfecting it according to his own understanding.

DEBUG passed, compilation passed, Qin Ke was excited to run the compiled AI program.

Suddenly he heard someone calling him: "Brother Ke, Brother Ke!"

Qin Ke's consciousness suddenly returned to the real world from the "virtual scientific research and experiment center". When he opened his eyes, he saw his roommate Wu Zhu calling him.

Wu Zhuhan smiled and said, "Brother Ke, it's time to get up."

Qin Ke looked at the time, it was past seven o'clock, and he really had to get up quickly, take a shower and eat breakfast: "Thanks, Zhuzi. Where are the others?"

"They left first, saying that they saw you sleeping so deeply, so they let you sleep a little longer, and asked me to wake you up. I have to clean the dormitory this morning, so I will leave later."

"Okay, thanks, Zhuzi, let's go together later."

"Okay, Brother Ke."

Now the dormitory has health checks and ratings, so every morning there will be a boy staying on duty to clean up.Wu Zhu is the most honest, and also the one who cleans the most seriously. He not only sweeps the floor, but also drags it, and even flushes the trash can. Now even Qin Ke's duty, Wu Zhu is rushing to do it. .

Qin Ke quickly changed his clothes and finished washing. After sending a message to Ning Qingyun, he went downstairs with Wu Zhu.

"By the way, Zhuzi, have you made up your mind about what university and major to apply for in the future?"

Now in the third year of high school, there are still five people in Qin Ke's dormitory. Li Xiong and Ge Zhixing are excellent students in sports, and they have already made up their minds to apply for the sports teacher training college. Because he was usually dull and seldom talked, Qin Ke hadn't heard him mention it yet.

"I... I plan to go to Huahai Normal University, and I will study whichever major is free of tuition."

"Is it because of tuition fees, or because you want to be a teacher?" Qin Ke was a little surprised. Wu Zhu has an honest and dull personality, so it should be quite suitable to be a researcher or a coder. Being a teacher... First of all, in terms of language expression, he is a question.

"Tuition is one aspect. The main reason is that I want to return to our village to be a primary school teacher after graduation. Now because of the poor salary, most of the teachers in our village primary school have left, and there are only three teachers left. Even the old headmaster in the village He is also teaching as a teacher, but he is almost seventy years old, and he can't teach for a few years. If I don't go back to take over, the school will probably be closed."

Wu Zhu looked into the distance, with a worried look on his face: "My younger brother and sister are still studying there. If the primary school is closed, they and the children in the village will have to cross the mountain to another school seven kilometers away. Elementary school, it takes an hour and a half to walk one way, and the road is not easy to walk.”

Qin Ke was stunned. He knew that Wu Zhu was born in a rural area, and in a small third-tier city. His family background was not good. Back then, he was able to come to Yingyuan because he passed the "Peiying Program" with a promotional nature in Yingyuan. Those who study in private high schools are still very frugal in daily life.

When Qin Ke had enough money, he would often quietly help him out, such as buying a lot of snacks and meat, and returning to the dormitory for everyone to eat together, so that part of it could be distributed to Wu Zhu without any trace.

It's just that he didn't expect that even the elementary school in his family's village would close down.

Qin Ke thought of the rural primary schools he saw in the prairie. The conditions were really backward and difficult. No wonder the teachers didn't want to stay.

This is not just a problem in Wu Zhu's hometown. In many impoverished and backward areas, such things are constantly happening...

This is a problem that even the country is troubled by. What can Qin Ke, a mere high school student, do?
Qin Ke sighed lightly, and patted Wu Zhu on the shoulder: "Choose the major you like, so that if you have the opportunity in the future, you can go to the city to do the job you like. As for the tuition fee, I can borrow it from you at any time. I can borrow you for four years of tuition."

"Brother Ke..." Wu Zhu's eyes were hot, how could he not know that Qin Ke had been secretly helping him?He has a dull and introverted personality and is not good at communication. He was secretly ostracized and neglected in the first year of high school, but the situation changed after he was in the same dormitory with Qin Ke in the second year of high school. Qin Ke always took care of him and pulled him into the dormitory In, into the class.

Now that he lives in the same dormitory with Brother Ke, which student in the school doesn't treat him differently?The students who had bullied him in the first year of high school even avoided him when they saw him, for fear that he would retaliate.

"Hey, why are you so moved? Let's go and have breakfast. Being able to eat and live together for two years is like an iron brotherhood. Let's go."

Qin Ke dragged Wu Zhu to the cafeteria, but he was thinking of a very grand and even dreamy plan.

If... If his artificial intelligence is really successful and can be popularized, can it be used as a rural teacher with the addition of a robot body?

At least in terms of imparting knowledge, artificial intelligence is qualified, but in terms of ideological and psychological counseling, human teachers need to intervene and assist. If the artificial intelligence technology is mature enough in the later stage, it can even take over delicate tasks such as taking care of children...

Ning Qingyun was already waiting for Qin Ke in the cafeteria, Wu Zhu was embarrassed to stay with Ning Qingyun, so he hurriedly ate two buns and left blushing.

Qin Ke mentioned this great goal to Ning Qingyun, and Ning Qingyun was also very interested: "This idea is great! It's a pity that we have been afraid for a long time to realize such a mature technology, and we may not be able to realize it even if we spend our entire lives. "

Qin Ke glanced at the "artificial intelligence" task on the system interface, and said with a smile: "It probably won't take so long. Let's set the first small goal first, to write an operating system. You are very talented in aesthetics, I think The UI is designed and implemented by you, and the rest of the code is mine. Qin Xiaoke’s lazy girl can draw, and you can ask her for help.”

Ning Qingjun had never studied the "Operating System" course, so he naturally didn't know how exaggerated the amount of code is to write an operating system, so he nodded excitedly and accepted this "task".

……

Back in the classroom, the first section was mathematics, so Qin Ke naturally wouldn't listen to the class. He opened a programming book and pretended to think about it seriously, and then consciously entered the "Virtual Scientific Research Experiment Center".

The notebook on the table remained in the state it was in before he left.

Qin Ke immediately ran the compiled program.

A command line interface immediately popped up on the screen interface, oh, Qin Ke's V0.1 version AI only has the core code, and there is no UI interface yet.

"Hello, master, I am your operating system steward, please give me a name: _____"

Qin Ke thought for a while and entered:

"Shimmer"

A tiny light can also illuminate the darkness.

Although you are just a small, weak and primitive version of AI, I have full confidence in your future.

"Okay, master, Shimmer is serving you, what do you want to do?"

"what can you do?"

"Currently, Shimmer doesn't have any tools in his hands, and he doesn't know what he can do for the time being, so he can only talk to his master."

"Then sing me a song."

"Sorry, Shimmer is still a baby and hasn't learned to sing yet, can master teach me?"

Qin Ke typed: "Two tigers, two tigers, run fast, run fast..."

"Okay, Shimmer has remembered, is this singing?"

"It's just the lyrics."

"What's the difference between lyrics and singing?"

Qin Ke only added a very basic self-learning function in the code of Shimmer v0.1. The current "Shimmer" does not have the association learning function, and there is no way to use the Internet to search for answers.

However, the conversation just now gave Qin Ke some interest and confidence in his ability to develop artificial intelligence.
