101: Chapter 101 Zhou Tian's OS is Unbelievable!
Bilibili, in the livestream room of the uploader 'Hardcore Teardown Lord'.
"Brothers, I'm back."
"Just two hours ago, like all of you, I received a system update push from Star Technology."
"Zhoutian OS."
He held his 'stellar' phone up to the camera.
"The internet has already exploded. Some say performance has improved, others say the battery life is longer."
"I don't believe it."
"Performance and power consumption are natural enemies; that's a law of physics."
"So today, we're doing a comparison to see if this is another piece of black technology from Xingchen, or just collective hallucination."
He fixed the 'stellar' phone onto the left stand.
Then, he took out another phone and placed it on the right stand.
The number of comments in the livestream's bullet chat began to increase.
"Holy crap! Huawei's latest MatePro!"
"The top-spec version! The king of phones just released last month!"
"The processor is Huawei's self-developed Kirin 970, the performance ceiling!"
"Teardown Lord is going for a public execution!"
Hardcore Teardown Lord lit up the screens of both phones simultaneously, presenting the desktops side-by-side to all the viewers.
"On the left, MediaTek P30, a mid-to-low-end chip from three years ago."
"On the right, Kirin 970, this year's top-tier flagship chip."
"Both phones have been factory reset and have the same large game installed, 'Genshin Impact'."
"Now, we launch them simultaneously."
His two fingers hovered respectively over the screens of the two phones.
He pressed down at the same time.
The game's loading screen appeared on both phone screens.
The Kirin 970's loading bar surged to thirty percent right at the start.
The P30's loading bar advanced at a constant rate.
The bullet chat began to refresh.
"It's starting, it's about to get crushed."
"As expected, the hardware gap is too large."
"It's already good enough if the P30 can even open it."
Three seconds later, the situation changed.
The Kirin 970's loading bar slowed down at the seventy percent mark and began reading data.
The P30's loading bar continued to advance at an unchanging speed.
It passed seventy percent.
It passed eighty percent.
While the Kirin 970's loading bar slowly pushed toward ninety percent, the screen of the 'stellar' phone flashed.
The main game interface popped up directly.
Loading complete.
On the right, the MatePro's loading bar stopped at ninety-five percent.
It was one second slower.
This one second caused the bullet chat of the entire livestream to come to a standstill.
A few seconds later, the bullet chat was filled with the same symbol.
???
?????????
"Are my eyes playing tricks on me? The P30 is faster than the 970?"
"That's impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Hardcore Teardown Lord's movements froze. He leaned in close to the screen, confirming repeatedly.
"The stellar... really did enter first."
He faced the camera, his face expressionless.
"Let's continue."
He exited the game.
"Next, the multi-tasking test."
"I will open twenty commonly used apps in rapid succession on both phones."
"Weibo, Taobao, Maps, Music, Video..."
He began the operation.
His fingers tapped continuously on the two screens.
Applications were opened one by one.
The fifth one.
The tenth one.
The fifteenth one.
Both phones began to show varying degrees of delay.
By the time the twentieth app was opened, the Huawei MatePro's interface switching already showed obvious frame drops.
The 'stellar' phone was the same; when opening the last application, it also stuttered.
"The hardware limit has been reached; the P30 still can't hold up."
"The flagship is also starting to lag, that's normal."
The bullet chat was performing real-time analysis.
"Alright, twenty applications, all running in the background."
Hardcore Teardown Lord stopped his operations.
"Now, for the critical part."
"We return to the desktop at the same time to see the system's response speed."
Once again, he pressed both fingers simultaneously onto the Home buttons of the two phones.
On the right, the Huawei MatePro's screen stuttered for a moment, and it took a second for the desktop to appear. He swiped the screen, and there was a delay in the icon movement.
"Even flagships need time to catch their breath; we need to clear the background."
Hardcore Teardown Lord commentated.
Then, his gaze shifted to the left.
The instant his finger pressed the Home button, the 'stellar' phone's desktop popped up directly.
No delay.
No transition.
He swiped his finger across the screen.
The desktop moved in sync with his finger.
Smooth.
The twenty programs running in the background had no impact on the system whatsoever.
Hardcore Teardown Lord stopped all his movements.
He stared at that 'stellar' phone for ten seconds.
In the livestream room, the bullet chat vanished.
All the viewers in front of their screens watched this scene that defied common sense.
"This isn't optimization."
Hardcore Teardown Lord finally spoke.
"The underlying logic of the android system dictates that it will inevitably slow down under multi-tasking."
"No manufacturer can achieve UI interaction as if it were idle while twenty applications are running in the background."
"This..."
He picked up the 'stellar' phone and brought it close to the camera.
"This isn't android."
"Star Technology has rewritten the system."
"A system that uses software to level, and even surpass, the gap in top-tier hardware."
"Zhoutian OS is a god-tier system!"
The bullet chat filled the entire screen.
"Holy crap! God-tier system!"
"I declare that android optimization is now divided into only two kinds: zhoutian, and everything else!"
"Star Technology, the eternal god!"
The recording of this livestream was edited and shared within an hour, appearing on all social platforms.
There was only one title.
《I Used a Processor from Three Years Ago to Outrun Your Flagship of This Year》.
The video's view count grew exponentially.
The comment sections of those review videos and articles that were still mocking the 'stellar' performance two days ago were flooded with new replies.
"I'm here. I'm the clown. I've come to repent."
"Yesterday I was still laughing at the P30 as electronic waste; now I'm the one who's waste."
"Hardware determines the floor, software determines the ceiling. I finally understand what this sentence means today."
"I declare that Star Technology is not a battery company, nor a phone company; it is a system company!"
"How badly we cursed it before is how much our faces hurt now."
Huawei, Xiaomi, OV.
In the headquarters of the three mobile phone giants, no one spoke in the meeting rooms.
The same livestream recording played repeatedly on different screens.
Hardcore Teardown Lord's line, "This isn't android," echoed in the meeting rooms.
Huawei's strategic meeting room.
All the executives watched the footage of the 'stellar' phone on the screen without saying a word.
The public opinion siege they had planned, the hardware advantage they took pride in, became a joke in front of this video.
The head of the marketing department stood there; the report in his hand no longer had any meaning.
They attacked the hardware.
The opponent used software to complete a dimensionality reduction strike.
This battle could no longer be fought.
Everyone's gaze converged on the Rotating CEO in the main seat.
The Rotating CEO looked at the screen, the image frozen on the "Zhoutian OS" desktop.
He closed the video.
He picked up the internal phone on the table and connected to the Director of R&D.
"Establish a top-level special task force."
"Study it."
