Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 448 Difficult Adaptation: Blue-Green On-Site Delivery

Sundar Pichai was slightly embarrassed; he used to be in a technical position, but after taking this role…

The allure of power gradually transformed him... transforming him from the former technologist into a president who ensured Google's full operational efficiency.

Dave Burke, on the other hand, continued to pour out his grievances.

"This is not a simple matter of changing the resolution or adjusting the display ratio."

He needed to modify the window manager, rewrite the rendering mechanism, redo the landscape/portrait switching architecture, fully adapt virtual buttons, and also check the compatibility of millions of applications.

All the core modules have to be completely rebuilt from scratch.

"Not to mention that we have accumulated so much 'Shishan' code, Mr. Pichai. Much of this code is no longer traceable and there is no documentation for reference."

Therefore, our engineers can only patch it, which has led to the deep-rooted vulnerabilities over the years.

Three months isn't even enough time to review old code.

Sundar Pichai nodded slightly, indicating that he was certainly aware of Android's problems and knew that the accumulated code had made every underlying refactoring a disaster.

But he had to exert pressure, because if they didn't go through with it, the money the company invested in Silver Lake Capital would be completely wasted, and if Chinese manufacturers switched to Transsion, that would be a real disaster.

Sundar Pichai walked up to him quietly and pulled him to sit down, but Dave Burke remained defiant and refused to sit down!

"sit down!"

Sundar Pichai quickly reprimanded him, saying that he had become so arrogant after being given a little face; if he were given any more face, would he really start running a dye shop?

Seeing his boss's expression, Dave Burke quietly sat down as well, but he remained defiant, after all, this was hardly a job assignment...

"I know how difficult it is to rebuild the underlying structure, but we have no way out now."

Transsion's Taishan system started in 08, and now, after 6 years, their system is no different from ours in terms of application ecosystem, and may even be a little ahead.

Most importantly, they have very few bugs, are very stable, and have excellent smoothness, almost like iOS.

The Android camp has now suffered a complete defeat, and some of them are even considering switching to the TaiShan system!

"If we cannot complete native adaptation by the end of this year, these manufacturers may develop based on the Taishan system."

Samsung and HTC may not necessarily switch, but Vivo and Oppo will definitely switch to them, as this is a huge market with at least 200 million users.

At that point, we won't just lose feature adaptation, but our dominance over the entire Android ecosystem.

What can I do?

I also need to give an account to the capital!

Dave Burke was both angry and anxious, his chest heaving violently, and a vacant look appeared in his eyes.

"But President, forcing the production to be completed will only result in a completely defective product."

To be honest, we've already worked with SanSang on a beta version, and the project has already failed.

Widespread app crashes, screen stretching, and various other issues.

Moreover, this is not an ordinary bug; it is a systemic disaster affecting the underlying architecture.

"What kind of disaster would it cause if we rushed into going live? You know better than I do."

Dave Burke passed the buck back to me, saying, "You can let me develop, but if you want me to take the blame, that's absolutely not going to happen."

Sundar Pichai pondered for a long time, then his previously tense expression suddenly broke into a smile:

"Actually, it's not all bad news. Although the shareholders are demanding three months, which is the bottom line, Microsoft is providing support to a group of technology developers."

Since they want to put pressure on us, then we will…

After he finished speaking, a subtle expression appeared on his face.

He originally didn't want Google to come in, but time was of the essence, so he had no choice but to let these excellent scapegoats in.

"You should understand the specific steps!"

"I understand, but I want to make it clear in advance that if the version released at the end of the year fails, it will definitely not be due to poor teamwork, but rather because three months is simply not enough time."

He pushed open the office door, walked back to his own office, opened his email, and sent an email to the Android system architecture team.

"We only have three months to complete the native adaptation for full-screen displays."

Let's get started immediately! All core module architects, meet tomorrow morning at 9 AM!

But before anyone else could react, he started cursing and swearing in his office after sending the email!

"What can you do in three months? Not even enough to write a test framework!"

But he still went through the motions, and then opened the code repository to look at the corresponding code records.

Each record is a tombstone. He has built this mountain of shit before, including code from 2008, 2009, and even parts of 2007. Now he is building a building on the mountain of shit he built.

…………

Shen Fei was delighted when he saw the lucrative offer his company had made.

Manufacturers are claiming that they will release full-screen solutions by the end of 2014, and that future mobile phones will fully transition to the full-screen era.

The key point is that it's not just one company; Samsung, HTC, Xiaomi, and Ruiyi Mobile have all issued related statements!

"Full-screen displays aren't that difficult; it's just a matter of aspect ratio adaptation. One company simply benefited from its speed advantage!"

"Just wait and see. Not every full-screen display is a true full-screen display. Google's is definitely better; will it eventually surpass them?"

"I'm not sure if it will be available this year, but I'm certain it will have a ton of bugs by then [doge emoji]"

"Hey, you upstairs, you know Google!"

"Have you noticed something? All the other manufacturers have released their products, but why haven't Vivo and OPPO released theirs? Shouldn't those two companies be very interested in technology that can significantly improve appearance?"

"So what if you're interested? Do you think full-screen displays are free? How could those two companies possibly afford to spend that much?"

"Forget about domestic brands, I'd like to know how long it will take Google to prove that full-screen displays aren't something just anyone can do?"

"A month?"

"With that '13' of code they have, it would be good if they could clean up half of the performance issues in a three-month project plan."

…………

At the same time, at Transsion headquarters, the door to Shen Fei's office was also pushed open.

When Wang Hua came in, he was followed by two acquaintances.

Shen Fei glanced around and saw Shen Wei, the founder of Blue Factory, and Chen Mingyong, the founder of Green Factory, following behind Wang Hua.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, what brings you here?"

Chen Mingyong shook hands with a smile, but his eyes looked a little flustered.

It was Shen Wei, who was standing next to him, who spoke first:

"Mr. Shen, we're here to pay our respects."

"That's right, we wouldn't come here without a reason."

Chen Mingyong looked hesitant. Shen Fei glanced at the two of them a few times, wondering what their plans were.

Is it a screen, processor, or some other supply contract?

Of course, the greatest and smallest probability is the system.
