Chapter 662 The First Flower on Fertile Soil
As for the Citigroup guys, they have no direct channels to get our computers. At this time, the traitors in the Oceanic Treaty Organization come into play.

Compared with other major OPEC countries that refuse to leave, Gallic chickens, which keep coming in and out, can really be considered traitors.

However, this also shows that only the Gallic rooster has ever thought about true independence.

This kind of action is not a state act, so Citigroup executives have no choice but to use their own skills and find various relationships and companies to achieve their goals.

As the company that deals most with Orientals and is most deeply involved in the computer industry, Delta Air Lines is undoubtedly the most suitable.

The Gauls' demands were conveyed back to the country, and the comrades from the Computing Institute and the 11th Ministry of Machine Building received the part concerning manpower and work.

Except for some people who went to Gaul in person, most of the software personnel still cooperated with the work in the country.

The comrades from the 11th Ministry of Machine Building looked at the work list of Gallic Rooster and smiled.

"They've put some smuggling in here again, haha."

The comrades in the computing department were also laughing: "We wish we had as much of this kind of private goods as possible."

"You know what? Their compilation requirements have almost accumulated into a textbook. Although the content is a bit scattered, it is really useful."

"These are really good people who spent money to help us solve our problems. In the past, I would have kowtowed to them."

"Someday, you must tell Comrade Gao Zhendong the good news. His suggestion at the time was absolutely correct."

"Hahaha, yes, yes, let him be happy too."

This opportunity soon came, and Gao Zhendong was invited by comrades from the Institute of Computing to attend the meeting.

A comrade developed a new general-purpose software and specially invited Gao Zhendong to participate in the review.

This may be a small matter decades later, but at this moment, it is an absolute big deal.

This was the first time for Gao Zhendong and he was very happy about it.

This means that our software personnel, after fully digesting the software and hardware environment such as general-purpose computers and C language, have begun to come up with their own things.

With the first one, Gao Zhendong believes that there will soon be a second, a third... until ordinary new software is no longer something worthy of attention.

Sitting in the meeting room, Chief Engineer Chi of the Operation Institute actually revealed to Gao Zhendong that the Triangle Aircraft Company had included its own agenda in the software compilation requirements, which made Gao Zhendong very happy.

"Boss Chi, this is called a win-win situation. Everyone will have a bright future."

Capital is always sleepless, they are always watching for any opportunity to make a little money. It is not their habit to miss out on a bargain. Gao Zhendong proposed to invest heavily in software and related engineering personnel in the cooperation with Gallic Chicken, and also took this aspect into consideration.

The two of them laughed and turned to look at the application materials.

The comrade who was making the report looked at their expressions and thought to himself that it was definitely a safe day today! The two chief reviewers were in such a good mood, which was definitely beneficial for the project to pass the review smoothly, especially since one of them was the head of the expert group.

The leader of the expert group is naturally Gao Zhendong. If he is not the leader, Chief Engineer Chi himself would not dare to take the position.

This software is actually not complicated in the future, and the real core of software compilation are not even professional software personnel, but people who do applied mathematics.

At this moment, the young core compiler was making a report confidently.

"…When I was working on a computer, I needed to parse the binary content of a file and found that the data contained a lot of redundancy and repetition. This gave me an idea: could I study an algorithm to describe these redundancies and repetitions in a concise way…"

"…My major is applied mathematics, which happens to support my idea…"

"…Tests have shown that the capacity of files processed by this software is roughly between 40% and 60% of the original files, which is of great significance for saving storage capacity, reducing network overhead, saving transmission time, improving work efficiency and saving costs…"

That’s right, what this comrade developed is lossless compression software!
In other words, the core of his work is the lossless data compression algorithm.

In later generations, for ordinary users, the function of saving space is no longer the main function. Instead, it is more common to reduce the number of cold data files and reduce the complexity of cold data file management.

At the same time, future compression software will come with encryption function, which is the simplest and most direct encryption method. For ordinary people, as long as the key is long enough, this encryption method is much easier to use and more reliable than hard disk encryption methods such as BitLocker. There are too many ordinary users who have been killed by BitLocker.

By the way, there is another use. When you share data on a network disk and don’t want the specific content to be scanned by the network disk administrator, encrypted packaging is basically standard.

However, in this era when storage capacity and network bandwidth are limited, compression means real compression, which means making files smaller.

At this time, the files were still mainly text files. No matter what compression algorithm was used, as long as it was not too bad, the compression rate of text files was generally 60% or more, so the test results obtained by the comrades who worked on compressing files were very good. Gao Zhendong himself really forgot about this thing. It was too specific and he could not think of it or take it into consideration. Now that a comrade has made it, it can be regarded as helping him fill the gap.

Looking at the review materials of this software, Gao Zhendong is very happy. He believes that more application software gaps will be slowly filled. As long as the environment is ready, we are not afraid of anyone when it comes to playing tricks!

The expert judges attending the conference all spoke highly of this software.

For them, it was the first time they saw computer science achievements that did not come from Gao Zhendong. The significance of this event was extremely important.

If before this, it was Gao Zhendong who single-handedly pushed computer and software technology forward, then now it can finally be said that the fertile soil cultivated by Gao Zhendong has begun to bear fruit.

There was another reason why they were so happy, which was difficult to explain: they felt a lot of psychological pressure when reviewing Gao Zhendong's results.

Therefore, all experts are generous in praising this first warrior who opened the door to a new world.

Even the comrades who work on compression software are a little flattered - I didn't know what I did was so powerful? So important?
"…It is indeed very important!…" This is Gao Zhendong speaking.

As the head of the expert group, he was naturally the last to speak.

He also praised this thing from inside to outside without hesitation.

After the praise, Gao Zhendong still felt unsatisfied.

"For those who are working on this software, I have some suggestions. But let me make it clear that these are not my opinions. I have no opinions on the software itself."

Everyone laughed. Professor Gao is quite humorous.

As for the comrades who were working on this software, they immediately focused their attention and clenched their pens on their notebooks.

Not everyone has the opportunity to receive personal guidance from Professor Gao.

"The first is the direction of application. You can take the initiative to contact the National Defense Work Committee, the Postal and Communications Committee and other units. They have an urgent need for your results."

The National Defense Committee would certainly like to compress the data as much as possible and shorten the sending time, and data backup is also very necessary.

As for the Postal and Communications Commission, all data transmitted by the public is stored with them. Whether it is transmission or storage and filing, they are always pursuing smaller volumes.

"Secondly, I suggest you communicate with the National Defense Committee and integrate the GM-1 symmetric encryption algorithm into this software. Compression and encryption can be done at the same time, which will be very beneficial for users."

The reason for communicating with the National Defense Committee is that GM-1 is not open to civilian use now. In fact, this is a bit groundless. The core of the symmetric encryption algorithm lies in the key length and the key that complies with the policy. It doesn’t matter whether the algorithm is public or not.

It is hard to say whether the equipment can be opened to civilian use as a result of the communication with the Defense Work Committee, but at least the Defense Work Committee is definitely interested.

“Third, don’t bundle the algorithm with the software. The software is just a result, and the algorithm is the most important. I suggest you sort out the algorithm and make it a separate topic. This way, it will be more convenient for other comrades to use this algorithm.”

When Gao Zhendong threw out the GM-1 encryption algorithm, it was like throwing out a cabbage, because to him it was nothing and it did not improve his personal treatment. However, to other comrades, similar achievements had different meanings.

Gao Zhendong's suggestion, firstly, highlights the importance of algorithms, and secondly, is of great benefit to comrades involved in this project.

The number of topics doubled, from the top six to the top three!
Everyone understands what's going on here.

The comrades who were working on the compression software expressed gratitude as they recorded their work. In this way, every comrade who participated in this project would have achieved sufficient results.

As for whether it will be difficult to get approval if it is split up? Haha…

The same thing, when said by some people, is really just a suggestion, but when said by others, it is basically equivalent to a resolution.

Gao Zhendong himself has rarely been caught in the rain in his two lifetimes, but that doesn't stop him from holding an umbrella for others when it's convenient.

The consensus that comrades in the computer field later reached began to be established at this time.

——Professor Gao may be merciless when scolding people, but he will definitely help with all his might.

As for being scolded, it is probably not because you are too bad, but because you are too strong.

Having said that, Gao Zhendong had finished talking about the suggestions that seemed insignificant to him. His next words made the comrades who were working on the compression software ecstatic.

"One last suggestion, comrades, after this project is finished, are you interested in collaborating with me on a small project?"
