144 Operating System Is Our Territory

The press conference continued.

On the big screen behind Li Chengqian, the advanced technology deployed in the computer version of the Divine Dragon System was listed one by one.

All the advanced technologies in the mobile phone system were supported by the computer version.

Right on the heels of that, Li Chengqian explained the situation of operating systems in the country.

!!

“As we all know, our country had a late start to the computer operating system, just like the mobile phone operating system.”

“As such, these two systems have always been dominated by Windows from overseas.”

“The western world’s Windows system has more than 90% of the market share.”

“We never really had a domestic operating system.”

“Some people might ask, why bother to develop a domestic system when there’s already a Windows system?”

“As an analogy, this is akin to asking why you are still looking for a wife to bear a child when someone else already has a son?”

After saying this, laughter erupted at the press conference.

“I was just kidding of course!”

“In fact, the international situation has been challenging these few years. Software and hardware outages have been happening frequently.”

“If Windows cuts off our supply and shuts down all their systems, we will be caught in a situation where we don’t have access to computer systems.”

“Perhaps a line of code can destroy our country’s IT infrastructure and prevent our weapons from being activated.” He was not being alarmist. It was indeed a real possibility.

When he said this, Li Chengqian’s expression was very serious.

On the public screen of the livestream, messages came in furiously.

“It is of utmost importance to replace it with a domestic system!”

“We have to develop a domestic replacement at all costs!”

“If the Windows system is used against us during a war, and our weapons and communications systems can’t be used, the outcome will be very terrifying.”

“Supporting domestic production!”

“Actually, I’ve always supported domestically produced systems. Every time a domestically-produced system is released, I’ll try to use it immediately. However, there’s no software in the domestically produced system that can support my work…”

“I have patriotic feelings too. I also want to support domestically produced products, but I need software ecological support! I can work around functional issues, but there has to be such a system to begin with!”

“Software is key… I have to use CAD software every day. This is my livelihood. As long as I have CAD software, as long as it can function properly, I’ll immediately change platforms to support domestically produced products.”

Li Chengqian continued speaking again.

“The computer version of the Divine Dragon System was modified from the mobile phone system. It’s also built with a microkernel. Its performance is extremely high, twice as high as the Windows system! The stability and security of the system surpasses Linux.”

“Even if it’s used for a long time, there won’t be any lag. There won’t be any situations like having to reboot a blue screen of death.”

“In terms of software ecology!” At this point, Li Chengqian paused and spoke with a smile.

“Firstly, the Divine Dragon System natively supports the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone software. On computers installed with the Divine Dragon System, using the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone software is no different from using it on a phone.”

“Secondly, with the help of the Divine Dragon Compiler, you can directly convert the software and games of Windows, Apple, and Linux systems into the native software of a Divine Dragon computer.”

“The process of converting the software is the same as when I converted the phone app just now. It’s very simple. One line of code can do it. Everyone, please look at the big screen.”

Then, Li Chengqian demonstrated a few commonly used software on the big screen, as well as a popular game released by the Tencent Corporation!

“F*ck, what can this Divine Dragon Compiler not do?”

“This is too shocking. Not only can the Divine Dragon Compiler convert phone software, but it can also convert computer software.”

“Although the Divine Dragon Computer System is impressive and awesome, it’s simply weak compared to the Divine Dragon Compiler.” When the netizens saw this, most of them cheered.

With a formidable tool like the Divine Dragon Compiler, even if there were not many software that could be used now, they would soon have a wide variety to choose from.

For software developers, they didn’t need to spend much time and effort to get their software application to a new platform. Most people would welcome this.

A new platform would mean new profits.

Everyone worked hard to develop the software to earn money.

Meanwhile, Google, Apple, and Windows were in a video conference overseas.

Windows CEO, Satia, could no longer sit still. He was hopping mad.

Not long ago, Li Chengqian demonstrated the conversion of mobile phone software, which has no overlap with the business of Windows, nor does it cause any losses for Windows.

But now, not only had Li Chengqian released the computer system, but what was even more terrifying was that the Divine Dragon compiler could actually directly convert Windows software for use in the Divine Dragon System.

Satia finally felt the fear that Apple CEO Cook and Google CEO Pi Chayi felt when they saw the Divine Dragon Compiler.

Satia cursed, “F*ck, this damned easterner, what is he doing!”

“He’s a robber!”

“Windows has built this software ecosystem over so many years, we can’t allow it to be stolen by this despicable thief.”

Why did Windows monopolize the entire world market?

The first reason was that Windows had a complete software ecosystem!

All types of software can be found in the Windows systems, from minor things like a calculator software to major things like software for designing aircrafts.

This was something that no other platform could come close.

This is the most important reason why Windows dominated computer operating systems.

The second strategic move was extremely simple.

...

Although the mouse click method was very inefficient, it was very simple. Anyone could use the Window system after playing around with it a little.

This is also an advantage that no other system has.

Another thing was that it was free!

The original software of the Windows system was very expensive, but for personal use, most people relied on the pirated version. Was Windows not aware of this situation?

Of course they did! They even secretly encouraged it.

‘Why?’

In Windows’s strategy, personal computers are only used to develop habits, and it is difficult to adapt to other systems after getting used to the Windows system.

And the real place to make money was the corporate users.

Any enterprise who used the Windows system would be known to them. Once it was discovered that the enterprise used a pirated version, Windows would litigate and seek system usage fees.

But now, because of the appearance of the Divine Dragon System and the Divine Dragon Compiler, all these had changed.

This rich and comprehensive software ecosystem used to be exclusive to the Windows system. Windows had nurtured this software ecosystem for more than 40 years.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was no longer exclusive to Windows. The Divine Dragon Software Company snatched it away like a bandit.

Satia’s voice was filled with anger as he hissed, “This is a rogue company, a company that doesn’t have commercial ethics, the software they developed must be rogue software. The system is also a rogue system.”

“This kind of rogue company must be sanctioned! He must pay the price.”

“This damned thing is a greedy devil. Not only did he target Apple’s phone software, but he is now also coming after Apple’s computer software.” Apple CEO Cook also cursed, his face extremely gloomy.

Pi Chayi looked at his furious expression and said, “Satia, don’t worry. The people of the Divine Dragon Country are already used to the ‘free’ Windows system. Even if the Divine Dragon System has software ecological support, not many people will use it.”

“Pi Chayi, you’re right. The Windows system is still the operating system that rules the world! No one can shake the status of the Windows system.” Satia finally calmed down on Pi Chayi’s assurances. His eyes were filled with absolute confidence.

“I suggest that the three of us submit our proposal to the Western Empire to put the Divine Dragon Software Company on the sanctions list.”

Most of the outstanding software in the world was developed by the west.

In the field of industrial software such as CAD software and EDA software, western software had already achieved a monopoly on the Divine Dragon Country and earned 160 billion yuan a year from them.

Moreover, the industrial software provided to the Divine Dragon Country was often the backward version used by the west ten years ago.

More advanced software was prohibited being exported to the Divine Dragon Country.

From this, it could be seen how big the gap between domestically produced products and the west was!

“I agree!”

“I agree too!”

“Agreed!”

“This damn thief. The system he developed is very advanced, and so is the software he developed. But the operating system is our territory. No one can interfere without our permission.”

“Without the support of our Western Empire’s advanced software, the Divine Dragon System he developed can’t be used in the production environment or work. It’s a joke for him to try to promote it.”
