Chapter 235: Chapter 234: Backfired? [3]

"Alright, everyone, don’t panic. Calm down."

Although Ren Guofeng also had a hint of worry, on the surface, he maintained a calm and composed demeanor:

"This time, the fact that numerous overseas commercial groups are working together to suppress us is actually a good thing, in a way."

"A good thing?"

"Chairman, after this round of suppression, if we can’t find a solution, all of our group’s smartphones will become useless!"

Hearing Ren Guofeng’s words, everyone was stunned.

"That’s right, of course it’s a good thing. This shows that our Xia Wei Group has already achieved a certain level of success—enough to make those old-guard tech companies feel threatened!"

Ren Guofeng chuckled softly. His smile had a mysterious, infectious quality, and everyone instantly calmed down.

That’s right!

Although this round of suppression from overseas was incredibly swift and had indeed hit the Xia Wei Group where it hurt, it also revealed something else...

The Xia Wei Group had truly grown to the point where even a company of Guge’s caliber had to be wary of them!

"Lin Xiao, is there any news about that computer genius from Modu University you mentioned before?"

Ren Guofeng asked, his gaze turning to Lin Xiao.

"Not yet, but according to him, he should be able to complete the framework design for the Noah operating system before the end of this month."

Lin Xiao said.

"That’s good. As long as the Noah operating system can be launched before March, then the losses won’t be too severe."

Ren Guofeng nodded, then added,

"Although the main problem right now is with the operating system, we can’t fall behind on chip research. At the same time, our 5G deployment has to keep pace!"

"Understood!"

The various Xia Wei Group executives all nodded.

...

「Modu, Tomson Riviera Building S.」

Ye Ling was still completely unaware of the matters stirring up the internet. For the past few days, he had been fully engrossed in developing the Noah operating system.

After several consecutive days of high-intensity work, even Ye Ling felt mentally exhausted.

But thankfully, he had already finished modifying the microkernel for the Noah operating system. All that was left was to solve the multi-kernel framework issue.

’It’s almost done. Next up is a full-system optimization.’

Ye Ling typed the last line of code and leaned back in his chair. He couldn’t help but pinch the bridge of his nose, a wry smile on his face.

’Developing an operating system is far more complex than I imagined. It’s not just a drain on brain cells; the physical toll is enormous too!’

If his body hadn’t been strengthened tenfold, he never would have been able to endure so many days of work.

And now, the initial development of the Noah operating system was largely complete. In fact, Ye Ling could have turned it in to complete his task at this point.

However, he felt it was still lacking something and decided to continue with some optimizations and upgrades to the kernel.

’There’s still a lot of room for improvement when it comes to power consumption and performance.’

Ye Ling thought to himself. The current Noah operating system was still a little short of his expectations.

DING—

Just then, Ye Ling’s phone, which he’d set aside, chimed. It was a Weixin message from Lin Xiao.

’Ye Xiaoyou, I apologize for the intrusion, but I wanted to ask what stage the development of the Noah operating system is at. We might not have much time left...’

Seeing the message, Ye Ling couldn’t help but frown slightly.

’What happened?’

Ye Ling casually opened his browser and looked up recent events. A dark glint flickered in his eyes.

The news that Guge and numerous other commercial groups were suppressing the Xia Wei Group had already caused a huge stir, so naturally, Ye Ling found it with a single search.

"These tech companies are so shameless," Ye Ling snorted coldly.

It was clearly a premeditated conspiracy. Numerous overseas tech companies were colluding in secret, joining forces to restrict the Xia Wei Group, and they weren’t even trying to hide it.

’But I’m afraid this will backfire on them...’

As a thought occurred to him, the corners of Ye Ling’s mouth curled into a slight smile. He opened Weixin and sent a reply to Lin Xiao:

’Within three days.’

His reply was extremely brief because as soon as he sent the message, he threw himself back into his work.

His fingers flew across the keyboard. The Xia Wei Group was in a precarious situation, so he didn’t plan on wasting any more time. He had to develop the Noah operating system as quickly as possible!

...

「Time flew by.」

「January 24th.」

On the last day before the Modu University final exams, Ye Ling typed the final line of code. At that moment, the Noah operating system was officially complete.

"Finally done. The performance is a little lacking, but it doesn’t affect the big picture."

Ye Ling squinted, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

After nearly two weeks of strenuous work, he had finally succeeded in creating this hybrid, distributed-architecture operating system.

To be honest, Ye Ling hadn’t been completely sure at the start; he only had the concept. After all, he had no practical experience with it, and every part of the process was brand new.

But now that he had truly succeeded, his heart swelled with pride.

’Next, I need to contact Lin Xiao.’

Ye Ling casually pulled out his phone and made a Weixin call.

"Brother Lin, the Noah operating system is complete," Ye Ling said the moment the call connected. "It basically meets the expected standards. However, compared to the Little Green People operating system, the performance might be a bit lacking, since the system’s main kernel is still a microkernel."

"Really?"

On the other end of the line, Lin Xiao’s voice was incredibly excited. "Young Master Ye, I’m already in Modu! Let’s set a time to meet!"

In fact, he had flown from Peng City to Modu three days ago and had been waiting for Ye Ling’s news ever since.

Ye Ling had initially said three days, but he had already prepared to stay in Modu for a week.

He knew that developing the Noah operating system was extremely difficult. And now... ’Today is only the second day, right?’

Ye Ling had not only completed the task as promised but had even finished a day early!

"Let’s meet at the same café as last time. See you in fifteen minutes," Ye Ling said directly.

The main reason was that the Modu University final exams were tomorrow, and he had been so busy developing the Noah operating system these past few days that he hadn’t had any time to review.

Therefore, he planned to hand over the Noah operating system and then rush back to do some last-minute cramming.

"Okay, I’m not far from that café. I can be there within fifteen minutes," Lin Xiao replied immediately.

After hanging up, Ye Ling casually grabbed a nearby USB drive and drove to the café near Modu University.
