60 Just Wait for Victory to Fall on Your Lap

Zhao Peng’s cell phone was manufactured four years ago.

Samsung S9!

It was a high-end model back then.

The processor was Snapdragon 845, with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. The OS was Android 8.0, which was considered top-notch that year.

However, the phone had become very laggy.

The Divine Dragon Optimization App was much larger than the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. It was 107 Mb.

The Divine Dragon Optimization App was very quickly sent to Zhao Peng’s phone.

Li Chengqian was not in a hurry to install the software. Instead, he tried using the phone.

He also asked Zhao Peng to record his test results.

After testing, he realized that the entire system was lagging very badly. Applications like WeChat and QQ could hardly be used unless one could wait very patiently.

Popular games like Game for Peace, and League of Legends couldn’t be played at all, the system was too slow.

Then, Li Chengqian downloaded the AnTuTu software to run benchmark tests.

The final score was 240,000 points!

After that, Li Chengqian installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App on Zhao Peng’s phone.

After the software was installed, the phone automatically shut down.

Zhao Peng became anxious instantly. “Captain, could it be broken?”

“Don’t worry. We need to run a process to optimize the phone. System-level optimization needs to be completed when the phone is restarting.” Li Chengqian was not anxious at all. His Divine Dragon Optimization App had replaced the entire Android Runtime (ART) virtual machine and the HAL hardware abstraction layer. This would take some time.

After the Divine Dragon Optimization App had replaced the Android Runtime (ART) virtual machine and the HAL hardware abstraction layer, the phone system was a brand new system. It was no longer the Android system.

The Android system consists largely of the Linux core, the Android Runtime (ART) virtual machine, and APP.

The Linux core is an open-source software that has been around for a long time.

The essence of Android is the use of the Android Runtime (ART) virtual machine.

For other domestic mobile phone manufacturers, such as Dami, their mobile phone systems are in effect the Android system with a layer of skin on the outside.

The Divine Dragon Optimization app developed by Li Chengqian was completely different from these manufacturers. He was not changing Android’s skin, but changing Android’s core.

After the Divine Dragon Optimization app has optimized a mobile phone system, the Android Runtime (ART) virtual machine no longer exists and is replaced by the Divine Dragon Optimization app.

Five seconds later, Zhao Peng’s phone screen lit up.

In the middle of the phone screen, the logos of Samsung and Android had disappeared. A golden Divine Dragon icon took their places on the screen. Under the Divine Dragon icon, there was a progress bar.

The progress bar ran very quickly. After a minute, the progress bar reached 100%. Zhao Peng’s phone automatically restarted again.

After booting up, the majestic golden dragon icon appeared on the first screen. There was a line of words at the bottom of the screen: Produced by Divine Dragon Software.

About three seconds later, the majestic golden dragon danced on the screen and the phone was unlocked.

“This is so cool! I love it, I love it! Captain is impressive, awesome!” After Zhao Peng saw the divine dragon on the first screen, he gave Li Chengqian a thumbs up.

“D*mn, since when did my phone start up so quickly?” Zhao Peng said in surprise. In the past, it took him at least 30 seconds to turn it on and unlock the interface.

Zhao Peng unlocked his phone.

Then, he realized that the software, layout, and theme of the phone were exactly the same as before. There didn’t seem to be any changes.

When he started operating the phone, he was stunned.

Because it was so smooth!

Originally, when he swiped the screen, there would be a slight pause. When he swiped the screen now, it was smooth and seamless. There was no lag at all.

“Follow the way I tested just now. Let’s do it again.”

Zhao Peng opened WeChat and QQ first. The software opened the apps in a split second. It was especially smooth without any lag.

He tried TikTok, TouTiao, and the web apps one by one.

They were not laggy at all.

Zhao Peng was extremely shocked, but he contained his astonishment and switched his phone back to the home screen.

Then, he opened the two games, Game for Peace and League of Legends.

Under picture quality, he could actually play games smoothly, and his phone didn’t heat up.

During the test 10 minutes ago, his phone was lagging so badly he couldn’t play these two games at all. Moreover, when the game was on, his phone got so heated up he could practically boil eggs with it.

Zhao Peng was astonished by this result. He looked at the phone in front of him in disbelief. He even started wondering if this was indeed his original phone.

“Don’t just sit there. Run the AnnTuTu test!” Li Chengqian urged Zhao Peng when he saw him stunned motionless.

Zhao Peng opened the app and clicked on ‘run test’.

Not long after, the scores were out.

630,000 points! It was more than twice the previous score.

Although 630,000 points was not very high and could not be compared to the current year’s flagship models, it was comparable to the standards of the current year’s mainstream mobile phones.

Because the score was too high and unbelievable, Zhao Peng ran another test. The score was still 630,000 points.

After using it for a while, Zhao Peng checked the memory usage.

Then, he realized that the memory used by the system had always been maintained at about 1.2 gigabytes. Even when he was playing Game for Peace, the memory used did not exceed 2 gigabytes.

Before installing the Divine Dragon Optimization app, even if all the apps were closed, the system had always taken up about 3.5 gigabytes of memory. Just opening any app would take up 4 gigabytes of memory.

...

“Captain, is this really my phone?” Zhao Peng said in disbelief. He was shocked by the test results.

“Of course it’s yours.” Li Chengqian saw this test result and was quite satisfied.

“Captain, you really live up to your reputation as Awesome Li!” Zhao Peng gave Li Chengqian a thumbs up. “I will henceforth worship you as the most awesome b*stard.”

Li Chengqian was puzzled. Since when was he nicknamed Awesome Li?

Moreover, after getting familiar with Li Chengqian, Zhao Peng became more and more relaxed. He no longer hid his jumpy personality and now spoke freely with his foul mouth.

“Captain, you lied to me just now, you said that you developed an Android software?” How was this an Android software? It was clearly a phone system that was more advanced than Android.

“You clearly developed a mobile phone system! A mobile phone system compatible with Android, but its operating efficiency is several times higher than the Android system. Even compared to the Apple IOS, the Divine Dragon mobile phone system you developed is not bad.” Zhao Peng’s voice was filled with admiration.

“You’re really super awesome! You’re a genius among geniuses!” Zhao Peng praised him sincerely. Then, he asked, “Captain, how do you plan to use the Divine Dragon phone system you developed?”

In fact, he had already thought of what to do when he was developing the Divine Dragon Optimization app.

He would first offer a one month free trial. One month later, he would start charging 18 yuan per year per phone for the software usage.

This fee may not seem like much, but the number of cell phone users is huge. As long as 10 million cell phone users used his Divine Dragon Optimization app, he would earn 180 million yuan a year.

...

And this was just the price for standard users.

Next, not only did Li Chengqian want to replace the Android Runtime (ART) virtual machine with the Divine Dragon Optimization app, he also wanted to replace the Linux core with the Divine Dragon System core. This was currently being developed but had not been completed.

He had to develop from scratch a system that was more advanced than any mobile phone system, only then could such a system be called the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone system.

This was the reason why Li Chengqian had been calling the current development the Divine Dragon Optimization app and not the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone system.

If this system was licensed to phone manufacturers, the price wouldn’t be merely 10 yuan.

After Li Chengqian discussed his initial thoughts with Zhao Peng for a while, Zhao Peng nodded and didn’t say anything else. He only reminded Li Chengqian to do a good job of encrypting the software so that it would not be hacked and stolen.

At the same time, he reminded Li Chengqian to register the patent in a timely manner, and also to register a global patent.

Before completing the patent registration, the Divine Dragon Optimization app should not be leaked, in case someone beat them to the patent.

Li Chengqian felt overwhelmed. He was initially prepared to simply release the software. With Zhao Peng’s reminder, he realized that it was not appropriate to do so.

“After the preliminary round of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition is over, I must engage professionals to help me handle this work.” Li Chengqian thought to himself.

After Zhao Peng reminded Li Chengqian, he changed the topic to the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. “Captain, we’re taking the high-speed rail at 10 am tomorrow. Please remember and don’t be late.”

The only thing Zhao Peng was worried about now was that they would be late and would not be able to report to the provincial Big Data Center on time.

He wasn’t at all concerned about the competition or the subject matter that would be tested.

Li Chengqian could even develop an operating system, and the operating system he developed was even more useful than the world-famous systems. What was there to worry about with such an awesome character?

There was nothing to worry about.

He just had to wait for victory to fall on his lap.

“Don’t worry, we’ll meet at the high-speed rail station tomorrow.” Li Chengqian opined that there was no problem at all.
