1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds... Several "code farmers" from Beijing's information and innovation companies sat in front of a laptop, holding their breath, fully focused, as if their hearts were beating at the same frequency as the second hand. At the 14th second, the computer desktop lit up smoothly, and the laboratory was filled with joy. In March 2022, Tongfang laptops equipped with the Longxin 3A5000 4-core processor, Tongxin UOS operating system, and Kunlun BIOS firmware achieved a breakthrough in 14 seconds of boot time, representing the "Chinese Core" and "Chinese Soul" computers moving from "usable" to "user-friendly", expanding their position among Chinese people in the information technology industry that Intel and Microsoft have occupied for many years. In every line of code that leaps towards' 14 seconds', there are hidden the creativity and ambition of several generations of 'Beijing Code Farmers'. Representing Beijing's "soft power", some are white-haired gentlemen who have been fighting for decades, and some are just young and elegant young people who have just entered the industry. They are facing various difficulties in the innovation chain of information technology application and are making critical breakthroughs in their joint efforts. Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone National Information Innovation Park Tongxin Software Technology Co., Ltd. "Ecological Adaptation Dispatch Center". The first impression left by users of computer performance is the speed at which our reporter and Guanxin Photography Dragon Core CPU step out of the "darkest hour". 10 years ago, it took 10 minutes or even longer to open a computer equipped with domestic hardware and software. The CPU (central processing unit) is the heart of a computer, and if you want to speed up a computer, you must first pass this level. Do Chinese people have their own CPUs? have On the early morning of August 10, 2002, the computer installed with the "Dragon Core 1" CPU successfully started, ending the history of Chinese people relying solely on imported CPUs to manufacture computers. In 2010, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Beijing jointly funded the establishment of Longxin Zhongke Company, hoping to accelerate the industrialization of research and development achievements. However, just over two years later, Longxin Zhongke fell into a "dark moment". The academic team of Longxin has always focused on improving CPU performance and has not yet come up with a universal CPU that meets the mainstream market demand. The high investment in research and development has made the company's funds tight, and even unable to pay salaries for a while, leading to talent loss. This crisis has forced us to recognize the reality, "founder Hu Weiwu realized that the R&D personnel of Longxin, who started their business at" Xiahai ", have abandoned the establishment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but have forgotten to pay attention to the real needs of the market. That is to say, although there has been a transformation in the organization, the concept has not yet kept up. At that time, the mainstream CPU design in the market was multi-core, with Intel focusing on dual core and quad core designs, while Longxin developed an eight core design to improve its skills. Hu Weiwu candidly stated that the premise of "having more people and greater power" is that everyone must be strong. Although Longxin has eight cores, the performance of each core is not as good as that of humans. The CPU of Longxin was not accepted by the market at that time for a simple reason - it was not easy to use. After several years of detours, Longxin finally put down its "stature" and turned its attention to the field of industrial control CPU, and later successfully applied it in the field of information technology. Through continuous trial and error and iteration, Longxin achieved its first break even in 2015 with revenue exceeding 100 million yuan. From 2015 to 2020, Longxin Property
