Chapter 67 sets a new tone
The technical implementation of Wangma Wubi is still somewhat complicated.
Moreover, the biggest problem is that it is relatively difficult to learn and master, with a considerable entry barrier.
For example, the character decomposition level, stroke order, similar-looking characters, variant characters...
There are so many details to scrutinize; you can easily make a mistake if you're not careful.
In any case, to master the Wubi input method, one must first become a semi-expert in recognizing the structure of Chinese characters.
This has, in a subtle way, severely dampened people's enthusiasm for learning and using computers.
This also means that the application and promotion of computer products are indirectly limited to groups that have received relatively high levels of education and are relatively young.
To put it more bluntly, this plan is a bit too sophisticated for most people.
It can only belong to a professional but inevitably very niche application group.
In fact, the most intuitive solution for Chinese character input methods is undoubtedly a handwriting input screen, where what you see is what you get, and the computer directly recognizes what is written on the handwriting tablet exactly.
However, given the current state of computer hardware, developing a handwriting input screen is naturally even more impractical.
The proposal that Yu Zhen planned to push to the Science and Technology Bureau was a double-pinyin input method that he often used when writing novels in another time and space. It combined the basic Chinese pinyin education in China with the structure of Chinese characters as a supplement, and it can be said to have perfectly borrowed the advantages of the Wubi input method. Thus, the sound and form were combined into one, which perfectly matched the 26-letter keyboard peripherals that had become mainstream abroad.
And the most, most, most important point.
This solution is very simple and intuitive to implement. It is easy to program and convenient for users to promote and get started. With just three to five hours of practice, users can achieve efficient input of Chinese characters.
Once users are proficient at typing, they can easily input over 100 Chinese characters per minute.
More importantly, no additional hardware requirements are needed.
Under Zhang Fushi's personal organization, the closed-door working meeting with the Municipal Science and Technology Bureau went very smoothly, and the scientific engineers all reacted as if they had found a treasure after listening to Yu Zhen's complete set of theoretical ideas.
A true expert's skill is immediately apparent upon their first move.
To those in the know, the theoretical framework design of this double-pinyin double-shape Chinese input method is nothing short of a stroke of genius, a highly effective technical design solution.
"Writer Yu, you're amazing!"
"That's right, that's absolutely amazing! We've only heard you introduce this dual-pinyin, dual-shape Chinese character input method solution once, and we've already truly felt its extraordinary nature!!"
"Writer Yu, thank you so much for your tremendous support to all of us researchers. With this solution, we are absolutely certain that we will be able to overcome the insurmountable challenge of Chinese information input in computers..."
"A single conversation with you is worth more than ten years of study."
It seems that in the past, we have been too confined to our own small circles in the process of solving scientific research problems.
"If we had known earlier that you, Writer Yu, were so knowledgeable about computer technology, we would have eagerly come to you for help long ago!"
"Ha, Writer Yu, you truly deserve to be called the number one person in the field of science fiction writing in China!!"
"Exactly! Not only are the science fiction stories brilliantly written, but they also have such advanced foresight in the field of real scientific and technological exploration, perfectly combining the sound and form of Chinese characters with real computer hardware."
That exceptional vision is truly enviable!
"Writer Yu, you ranked first in the country in the college entrance examination. Will you consider pursuing a career in scientific research in the future?"
"Author Yu, based on the descriptions in your novels, is it really possible for our country's computer internet technology to make a comeback and even become the most advanced technology representative leading the Western trend in twenty years?"
At the meeting, the engineers from the Science and Technology Bureau were quite gossipy.
After figuring out the complete set of double-pinyin double-shape Chinese character input method solutions designed by Yu Zhen, everyone relaxed and took the opportunity to inquire about the disputes that had been circulating in the outside world recently.
Zhang Fushi interrupted everyone in time.
"Alright, Comrade Yu Zhen is very busy. He has specially set aside half a day today to discuss this technical solution with everyone. Let's focus our attention on the technical implementation of the solution as much as possible!"
As for the rumors and gossip circulating outside...
If you truly want to help Comrade Yu Zhen vent his anger, then don't let down the hard work he put into figuring things out.
Let's all strive to overcome the difficulties in the shortest possible time, and use our technological achievements to shut up those clowns and give them a good slap in the face.
When that time comes, Comrade Yu Zhen will naturally be in a better mood to share more high-tech future ideas with everyone…”
"Zhang Shizhang, please rest assured that the double-pinyin double-shape Chinese character input scheme designed by Comrade Yu Zhen is completely feasible and there are no software or hardware technical obstacles to its implementation."
The only thing needed is for us to go back and work overtime to write the source code and the lowest-level logic framework. We are confident that we can produce formal technical results within a week at the shortest possible time!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fushi's spirits lifted. "Old Luo, is this really true?!"
"Hey, what's the big deal about whether it's true or not? If you don't believe it, Chief Zhang, then we're willing to collectively sign a pledge!!!"
"That's right, we are willing to collectively pledge our allegiance!!!"
"Ha, Comrade Yu Zhen's plan is practically feeding us alive! All that's left is programming and writing code. If we still can't complete the task, what's the difference between us and a bunch of pigs?!"
"Great, great, great, great! If that's really the case, then that's absolutely wonderful!! Lao Luo, then we'll have to put in a lot of hard work for all of you in the Science and Technology Bureau over the next week!!" Vice Director Zhang rubbed his hands excitedly; this was truly a huge and unexpected surprise for him!
The biggest headache for the city right now is that those scoundrels in Beijing, who have no sense of martial ethics, are openly gossiping about Comrade Yu Zhen's unclear identity, while at the same time they keep accusing the country of lagging behind in high technology, repeatedly provoking the Chinese people in an attempt to suppress and smear the [Xinghan Cup] National Science Fiction Literature Creation Competition.
If the Science and Technology Bureau could successfully overcome the problem of improving the efficiency of Chinese character input on computers within a week...
Hey!
This legal battle will likely have to be taken directly to the Zhongnan Hall so that the highest level can give it a proper judgment.
After the meeting, Vice President Zhang privately offered Yu Zhen a lot of reassurance.
The two parted ways, and the man immediately rushed back to the city government compound to share the good news with the others and set a new tone.
I've been putting up with so much irritation lately.
If this wave doesn't thoroughly crush a few of the powerful figures in Beijing and completely suppress the arrogance of that small group, do they really think we're all made of clay?!
