120 Developing a New System
“They’re adding insult to injury. These people are simply adding insult to injury. Teacher, look at these people’s faces. They’re really too detestable!” After Lin Xiong heard Zhang Qinglan’s words, anger was written on his face. He turned around and looked at where the phone manufacturers were.
Coincidentally, he saw most of the phone manufacturers smiling smugly.
Lin Xiong became even angrier. “The Android system banned the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. This behavior is akin to holding us ransom. Every countryman should be furious, but for their own commercial benefit, they’re laughing and feeling smug!”
“Lin Xiong, don’t be anxious.” Academician Gao Xiang continued calmly, “Li Chengqian just said that the problem has been resolved. We just have to wait and see.”
“Also, regardless of whether the problem of the Android installation ban has been resolved, the Divine Dragon Optimization App will definitely be included in the National Foundational Software Improvement Project. We will support it in terms of funding, publicity, projects, and so on.”
“Back then, other countries banned us from making nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, ballistic missiles, and nuclear submarines.”
“We’ve developed our own now!”
“We can’t stop them from banning it. Similarly, they can’t stop us from supporting it.”
“We are not going to give up just because they banned it. The more they ban it, the more we must support it. We have to get it developed at all costs.” Academician Gao Xiang’s expression was very calm, but his tone was firm and resolute.
…
On the defense seat, Li Chengqian looked intently at Zhang Qinglan.
Li Chengqian knew that Zhang Qinglan was actually just a representative of the mobile phone manufacturer. His speech represented the thoughts of all the mobile phone manufacturers and also their interests.
Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Li Chengqian said, “First of all, the Android system prohibits the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. This has no effect on phones that have already installed the App in the past.”
“There are still about 130,000 phones that have the App installed.”
After Li Chengqian said 130,000 units, Zhang Qinglan smiled.
This number was pittance!
OPPO shipped about 200 million cell phones a year.
130,000? What on earth!
The other phone manufacturers present also laughed. There was a hint of mockery, disdain, and smugness in their smiles.
After being banned by the Android system, the number of installations would only decrease and eventually the software would completely disappear.
Under everyone’s increasingly contemptuous gazes, Li Chengqian continued, “For any software that relies on the Android system, being banned from installation by the Android system is like a plant losing the soil to grow. This is a fatal blow.”
“He’s still clear-headed and knows that he’s dead meat! He knows that there’s no future in the Divine Dragon Optimization App.” Zhang Qinglan chuckled softly.
“After receiving the message about the ban by the Android system, I tried to change the code of the Divine Dragon Optimization App so that the App was once again suitable for the Android system and we can bypass the installation restrictions of the Android system.”
“This time, Android did an emergency system update. Perhaps it was cracked by Li Chengqian because they weren’t prepared enough. However, the next Android system update won’t be so easy to crack. It will definitely destroy the Divine Dragon Optimization App directly. There won’t be any chance to get up again.” Zhang Qinglan shook his head. Android was serious. It was not something Li Chengqian could fight.
“But this method can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause!” Under everyone’s surprised gazes, Li Chengqian exposed his shortcomings.
“What is Li Chengqian thinking? Why did he reveal his weakness?” Lin Xiong didn’t understand. If he exposed his weakness now, the phone manufacturers would have an excuse to attack Li Chengqian later.
Even Zhang Qinglan didn’t understand, not to mention Lin Xiong.
“Is Li Chengqian’s brain fried?” The phone manufacturers didn’t understand why Li Chengqian would say that.
Li Chengqian took a look and continued, “So, let’s not talk about treating the symptoms. Today, I’ll tell everyone about treating the root issue!”
“He didn’t crack the restrictions of the Android system! Li Chengqian made it sound so fresh and refined. I’m impressed!” Zhang Qinglan almost laughed out loud. In his opinion, Li Chengqian hadn’t found a way to crack the restrictions of the Android system the entire night.
“Hehe, Li Chengqian didn’t crack the restrictions of the Android system.” Qian Yongming of OPPO shared the same sentiments as the other manufacturers.
“Because the time is too tight, my method is not perfect. I only have a general framework. Everyone, please look at the big screen.” Li Chengqian connected the big screen to his laptop and opened the PowerPoint presentation he had prepared.
“The solution is actually very simple. Since Android doesn’t want to play with us anymore and doesn’t want the Divine Dragon Optimization APP to be installed, then… we’ll build our own mobile phone system and our own application ecology!”
As Li Chengqian spoke, a line of words appeared on the big screen.

Academician Lin Qu looked at Li Chengqian in shock. “Li Chengqian said that it’s settled. Is this what he meant?”
He had always thought that Li Chengqian’s solution was to crack the installation restriction of the Android system!
It could allow the Divine Dragon Optimization App to be installed on the updated Android phones.
“Why didn’t this kid tell me in advance?” Academician Lin Qu’s mind raced. He was thinking about how to deal with it later and help Li Chengqian explain.
Developing their own mobile operating system and establishing its own ecology sounded easy, but it was actually extremely challenging.
“Haha, set up your own phone system? Is Li Chengqian preparing to set it up with PowerPoint?” Zhang Qinglan almost burst out laughing.
“This has been quite a blow to Li Chengqian. He’s starting to spout nonsense.” Qian Yongming also shook his head. If it were really that easy to develop a universal mobile phone system, they would have done so for themselves long ago.
In the entire world, only Windows, Apple, and Google were able to create mobile phone systems.
Even a world-class giant like Microsoft had failed to invest in the mobile phone system and ended up exiting the market!
Li Chengqian wanted to set up a mobile phone system?
He was simply talking nonsense.
How could Li Chengqian possibly come up with a phone system that even the country did not come up with!
Li Chengqian didn’t care about the disdain and disbelief shown by the others.
After he clicked the mouse, an architectural diagram appeared on the screen.

“I’ll temporarily name the mobile phone system as the Divine Dragon Phone System.”
“The system kernel is built using a microkernel method…” The kernel naturally used the Divine Dragon operating system kernel.
The construction mode was similar to version 2.0 of the space station operating system, but it was more complete than the space station’s functions.
“Above the kernel layer, we will use the Divine Dragon Optimization App as a virtual machine so that the Divine Dragon mobile phone system can be compatible with all Android apps. This way, the Divine Dragon mobile phone system can use Android software.”
“There’s no need to build an application ecology separately. Android’s application ecology is the application ecology of the Divine Dragon mobile phone system.” Since the Android system felt that the Divine Dragon Optimization App was too much, Li Chengqian didn’t mind going even further.
“Li Chengqian is shameless!”
“You don’t say. Can the Divine Dragon Optimization App really do this!” With the Divine Dragon Optimization App installed, not only could the phone run Android software, but the efficiency was even higher than the Android virtual machine!
“However, the virtual machine is only a small part of Android! Without Android as the foundation, it’s impossible for the Divine Dragon Optimization App to run.”
In addition to the Android virtual machine, the Android system also had a large number of operating libraries. Although these libraries were also open-source, if they wanted to integrate these libraries into the new system, even OPPO might not succeed if it got thousands of developers to work on this for a year.
“If Li Chengqian doesn’t start a business, it’s simply a waste. With his PowerPoint bragging skills, any PowerPoint would immediately be worth billions!”
“When I heard this, I felt that this sounded so familiar… I remember now. Isn’t this the sales pitch of CEO Jia, a scammer?” Qian Yongming said with a look of realization.
CEO Jia was also an expert in PowerPoint presentations. He set up a company and scammed investors’ hundreds of billions of yuan worth of funds by going around with his PPT. He then left the country with the funds.
“Li Chengqian, you can brag however you want. You have to be able to develop the system core first. Without the core, what are you bragging about!” Wu Botao came over on behalf of Alibaba. His face was filled with disdain, feeling that Li Chengqian was bragging.
The others basically thought the same!
The universal phone system was not something Li Chengqian could do. Li Chengqian was a small fry, he was not qualified at all.
