129: Chapter 129 International Shock and the Seeds of a New Era

Related trending searches were all hanging at the top of the lists simultaneously, with read counts skyrocketing at a terrifying, visible speed.

The online clamor quickly shifted from mere curiosity to a storm sweeping through major technical communities.

Countless code screenshots were posted on the homepages of major forums.

At first, many were still stunned by the all-Chinese programming commands.

But soon, some hardcore programmers who had spent years working with low-level systems caught a different scent from this guide and the accompanying Hidden Dragon Development Platform.

Something was wrong.

Very wrong.

A Chinese programming technical guide, plus a complete development platform, and it even comes with a compilation environment, debugging tools, and sample libraries?

The completeness of this package far exceeded the scope of a typical "technical demonstration" or "academic publication."

If it were merely to demonstrate a new programming language, publishing a paper would have been enough.

At most, they would just post a source code repository and let insiders study it themselves.

But what did the Xia Academy of Sciences just throw out there?

It's a plug-and-play development platform aimed at the general public!

From environment configuration to compilation and deployment, from introductory tutorials to high-level API documentation, everything was there.

Even a high school student who only knew basic computer operations could, after reading the manual for two hours, type out a functional program in Chinese!

This clearly showed that it was meant for people to develop applications on it.

And to develop applications for whom?

In the forums, posts were refreshing so fast it was dizzying.

"Holy crap! Everyone, look at this infrastructure description!"

Suddenly, an ID with a high-level verified title posted a long string of screenshots.

They were densely packed with red annotations.

"This thing doesn't just come with a set of extremely perfect UI rendering engines."

"And this, memory dynamic allocation scheduling interfaces, multi-threaded concurrent processing mechanisms, and low-level hardware direct-connect protocols."

"Everything is neatly encapsulated."

The poster typed three exclamation marks in a row.

"Brothers, this is definitely not just a toy for everyone to learn how to code!"

"This is a complete underlying ecosystem foundation for a system!"

"The Xia Academy of Sciences threw out the programming guide first, then immediately served up the development platform, and even included the test environment."

"What are they doing?"

"This is definitely preparation for a domestic operating system!"

Once this deduction was made.

The feverish emotion quickly broke through the barriers of the small circle, traveling along countless network cables, and poured directly into major comprehensive social media platforms.

The popularity of all topics related to the "Hidden Dragon Platform" soared linearly.

Domestic operating system.

These simple words carried an indescribable magic.

Anyone who knew even a little bit about the industry felt stifled when mentioning operating systems.

But now, the Xia Academy of Sciences had slapped a pure Chinese development foundation right in the faces of all netizens.

"Awesome! I just love this authentic Chinese stuff!"

"From breaking the hardware blockade with the Photolithography Machine to laying the communication foundation with base stations, now they are even handling the system ecosystem themselves!"

"The country is playing a massive game that reaches the heavens!"

National pride was completely ignited at this moment.

On major social platforms, topics about the "Hidden Dragon Operating System" quickly replaced simple "Chinese programming" and dominated the top spot on all trending lists.

Those developers who had once struggled in foreign system ecosystems and suffered countless frustrations now felt a fire burning in their chests.

The underlying foundation belonging to the people of Xia was finally about to be completed!

Amidst the boiling cheers.

More and more people focused their attention on the signature of that "Chinese Programming Technical Guide."

In the author column, there were only two simple characters.

Lin Yuan.

This name was like thunder to the ears of the current netizens of Xia.

From the Photolithography Machine that broke the blockade to the top-tier chips that shocked the world, and then to the Fifth-Generation Communication Technology that recently sparked a nationwide infrastructure frenzy.

Every move he made was earth-shattering.

Every move he made was rewriting the technological landscape of this country.

"It's Lin Yuan again! No, he should be called God Lin. He has created another new miracle!"

"How on earth is his brain wired? He can handle hardware, master communications, and now he can even build an operating system and a programming language from scratch?"

"Brothers, I won't say any more. I'm going to learn Chinese commands. I'll take the first pot of gold from the Hidden Dragon ecosystem!"

This sentence was like some kind of assembly call.

Many savvy programmers, computer science students from universities, and even amateurs who had just come into contact with computers all flocked to that download link.

In front of countless computers.

Figures, some young and some weathered, sat upright in front of their screens.

The sound of keyboard typing connected across rental apartments, university dormitories, and office buildings all over the country.

The software ecosystem belonging to Xia was officially sowing its first batch of seeds at this moment.

...

And this unprecedented vibration on the internet in Xia naturally could not be hidden from those eyes that were constantly watching this side.

The Other Side of the Ocean.

The headquarters of a certain mobile operating system giant that focused on open source.

At a long conference table, a dozen executives in suits and leather shoes sat upright, the atmosphere oppressive.

On the projection screen, a screenshot of the "Hidden Dragon Development Platform" interface, translated into English, was prominently displayed.

The CEO rested his forehead on one hand, tapping his fingertips on the table.

"What on earth does Xia want to do?!"

"Launching a brand-new programming language and development platform at such a critical juncture."

"Could it be that they want to completely break free from our ecosystem control?!"

The CEO sat in a leather swivel chair, his face grim and terrifying, his eyes revealing deep apprehension.

The reason Android was able to break through the crowd of mobile operating systems was by using free, open-source software to win over the world's largest base of developers.

As long as the ecosystem was controlled, it meant holding the lifeline of all terminal manufacturers.

But now, Xia wanted to start all over again?

And they were using pure Chinese!

This was equivalent to building an insurmountable high wall outside the ecosystem they were so proud of!

The Android executives who were extremely concerned about this point knew it better than anyone.

If Xia really fully turned to this Hidden Dragon Platform, relying on that terrifying demographic dividend, they would have the full ability to smash out an independent ecosystem empire.

Once this ecosystem took shape, their dominant position in the Xia market would completely collapse.

A sense of crisis hung over these giants like a dark cloud.

The CEO suddenly dropped his hand and leaned forward with great pressure.

"Contact our terminal partners in Xia immediately and apply pressure."

"Propose an exclusivity agreement; absolutely do not let this Hidden Dragon System be easily installed on mainstream new mobile phones on the market."

And at the same time.

In another city, at the headquarters of a certain high-end smart device company that focused on a closed ecosystem.

The current head was leaning comfortably on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee, looking at the briefing submitted by his subordinates with ease and comfort.

"Chinese programming?"

He chuckled and tossed the briefing onto the coffee table.

"Mr. President, you don't seem worried?"

The assistant next to him looked at his boss's reaction and asked tentatively.

"Worried? Why should I be worried?"

He picked up his coffee and took a sip, his posture arrogant and calm.

"The establishment of an ecosystem requires years of accumulation and the support of countless top-tier commercial applications."

"It cannot be built up by momentary novelty and feverish emotion."

He extended a finger and shook it gently in the air.

"The people of Xia are very smart; they are trying to use their native language to lower the development threshold and stimulate the underlying demographic dividend."

"But Chinese is, after all, only a regional language."

"In the international market, no one will specifically learn the world's most difficult language for a system from Xia."

He put down the coffee cup, his tone revealing confidence.

"Our closed system has the world's highest quality developers and the strictest review mechanism."

"This ultimate experience is our impregnable moat."

"The people of Xia want to overtake on a bend with a Chinese platform?"

"Then let them try!"

"Of course."

He turned to look at the assistant, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"But we cannot completely let our guard down."

"List Xia as a high-level observation target and keep track of their subsequent actions."

Confident, but cautious.

This is the survival rule for those standing at the top of the pyramid.

However, no matter how turbulent the outside world was.

Regardless of whether there was revelry or worry online.

Regardless of whether there was apprehension or precaution The Other Side of the Ocean.

All this clamor was blocked outside the door of Research Building No. 7 at the Xia Academy of Sciences.

Under Lin Yuan's control, the implementation and engineering advancement of various technologies were accelerating crazily with an unstoppable momentum...
