What a breakthrough it is to be able to perfectly integrate Chinese into computer languages!
It's important to understand that when computers were first developed, English dominated the world. The fact that the Chinese broke this monopoly and were able to enable computers to display Chinese characters was already a huge milestone! The emergence of this Chinese computer language is poised to be a second milestone! This will be a turning point in rewriting the history of Chinese computers!
From now on, Chinese children learning computers will no longer need to memorize tedious vocabulary or dry formulas. Learning one's mother tongue is always the fastest way to learn!
Young and chubby followed the instructions in the materials and did a simple programming exercise... He created a simple data model in five minutes. This speed couldn't be called fast, but Young and chubby knew it was because he wasn't familiar with the language yet. However, from a program structure perspective, it was much simpler and easier to operate than C.
If building this model seems insignificant... it's because Yingnian Zaofei followed the tutorial exactly. It's like a C language beginner typing out the source code from a book; as long as the letters aren't misspelled, they can get the result. But Yingnian Zaofei felt that by typing it out in this way, he completely understood the program's meaning. It wasn't just a matter of memorizing a formula without understanding its meaning.
However, given his advanced computer skills at such a young age, there's nothing to boast about. As the saying goes, master one method, and you'll master all. Whether it's Chinese or other languages like C, they're all computer languages, and someone as proficient in programming as him can understand them immediately. This isn't surprising.
However, he immediately wrote another program based on his own understanding. This program was completely detached from the reference material and was written in a completely different way. Because he understood the rules of the Chinese language at a glance, he simply followed these rules and succeeded!
Young and overweight, barely containing his excitement, typed on the keyboard: "A fully Chinese computer language? Dude. Am I dreaming?! Do you know what this means? Is your language mature enough?"
"It should be quite mature. I'm currently using this language for programming, and after several revisions and fixes, I haven't found any bugs so far," Chen Xu said, of course, this was just empty boasting, because this Chinese language was from the future and was already a very mature language. Of course, it couldn't have bugs! "I call this computer language 'Chinese Language,' and after long-term experimentation, I haven't found any problems. So I think it's time to release it. Let's take advantage of this hacking competition. After the competition, I will release this language, hoping to help Chinese programmers."
"This is incredibly helpful!" Young and chubby almost shouted. He had studied computer science himself and knew the hardship of learning those tedious computer languages: "Boss, you have to understand, your invention could change China's computer industry! Everyone will be able to quickly get the hang of operating a computer. With so many programmers, it's like cultivating a large number of future hacker leaders! Boss, please take me on as your apprentice! I'll follow you, okay?!"
This kid finally took the initiative to ask to become an apprentice!
Chen Xu sat in front of the computer, laughing so hard tears streamed down his face. He couldn't proactively offer to take on apprentices, because that would be too unbecoming of his SMMH identity. So, he used the Chinese language as bait to lure out a young, precocious fat man who voluntarily became his apprentice. Hehehehe, this was truly a very HAPPY thing!
But Chen Xu couldn't agree directly. He replied ambiguously, "Your skills are good, but I don't think I have anything to teach you."
Upon seeing this, the young and overweight man perked up, because SMMH hadn't completely rejected him! Their tone still left room for negotiation. If they had said they didn't accept apprentices or that he wasn't qualified enough, then there would have been nothing they could do. But this statement clearly left room for discussion!
Young and overweight quickly said, "Boss! No, Master! Your skills are so high, you can just give me a couple of pointers and I'll be fine. I'm not greedy!"
In truth, Chen Xu had no real intention of taking him on as an apprentice, nor did he have the time to teach him. He simply wanted to use his name to tarnish the reputation of him and Zhong Ziyu. So Chen Xu said, "I'm usually very busy and probably can't help you much, but if you have any problems, you can leave me a message, and I'll help you solve them when I see it."
Does that mean he agreed to take him on as an apprentice?!
Young and overjoyed, Yingnian exclaimed, "Master! Hahaha! From now on, I'll call you Master! Master, do you know, if it weren't for the internet, I would definitely kowtow to you three times and bow nine times!"
After I finished typing, another message came in: "No, no, no, the apprenticeship ceremony is a must! I'll kowtow three times and bow nine times right now, I'll kowtow three times and bow nine times in front of the computer right now!"
Then there was silence, and the young fat man actually jumped off the chair, lay down on the ground, and solemnly kowtowed three times to the computer!
Oh dear! Chen Xu felt he was getting the short end of the stick. Such a good opportunity to take advantage... Ugh, why are you bowing to the computer?!
A little while later, another message came in: "Haha, I actually became the apprentice of the God of the Internet! Master, I'm so happy! Hmm, this Chinese language, I must be the first one I've ever seen?!"
“No,” SMMH’s message stunned the young and chubby man: “I’ve already shown it to Chen Xu, he’s also my student. Well, although you’re older than him, according to the rule of seniority, you should call him… senior brother.”
Chapter 220 The Dinner Party
Leaving aside how depressing it was to be so young and fat, Chen Xu laughed and went to sleep. When he finally got up in the middle of the night, it was already ten o'clock. Outside, he heard his little cousin Wang Mingmei's laughter, and his mother's voice: "Hehe, Er Ya has grown into a beautiful young lady!"
Why is Mom here?
Chen Xu groggily pushed open the door and saw his mother in the living room, holding Mingmei's hand and laughing as they talked. When she saw Chen Xu, she rolled her eyes at him and said, "You little brat, why did you drink so much last night? Now that I've let you out, you can still drink, huh?"
Chen Xu rubbed his dizzy head and chuckled, "Mom, I was just happy to see a senior yesterday, so I drank a little too much. It's nothing, it's nothing."
"Hmph!" Mom snorted and then fell silent. She knew that children Chen Xu's age were healthy and could drink a lot, so there was nothing to say.
"Why didn't you tell me yesterday that Er Ya was with you? I haven't seen that little girl in ages." Chen Xu's mother gave him a slightly disapproving look and said, "As her older brother, you'd better take better care of your sister from now on. If Er Ya gets bullied, I'll make you pay!"
Chen Xu scratched his head and chuckled. He had just gotten into a fight for Er Ya last night, but that was all in the past, so he wouldn't talk about it anymore.
Little Mingmei, on the other hand, grabbed Chen Xu's mother's hand and shook it vigorously, saying in a spoiled tone, "Auntie, I'm not a little girl anymore, don't call me Er Ya anymore, it sounds awful."
Chen Xu's mother slapped her forehead and laughed, "Oh, the little girl has grown up. Hmm, good, good, not Er Ya, then call her by her name... By the way, what's your name again, Wang something?"
Chen Xu and Wang Mingmei both rolled their eyes. This is what relatives are like! They've called each other by nicknames since childhood. They've even forgotten each other's real names.
The group chatted and laughed for a while, and Wang Mingmei and Chen Xu tacitly avoided mentioning what had happened the previous night. After all, for children their age, telling their parents about everything that happened around them and expecting them to take charge seemed childish, like running home crying to their parents after being bullied as a child.
After waiting a while, Chen Xu's mother said to him, "You should take a shower and change your clothes. We're going to eat later. I've already notified all your female confidantes."
"What?" Chen Xu was startled. He was about to ask why he had notified them, but then he immediately realized his mistake and quickly changed his words, saying, "I don't have any female confidantes."
Chen Xu's mother smiled knowingly. "You're quick on the uptake. Hey, you can't deny it. Er Ya told me there are four other girls in this room besides her, right? Heh, I saw Tang Bixuan. I know you guys started the cake shop to help her. Hmm, and she has a boyfriend, right? Your roommate? Heh. I brought them all. But the other three girls, you seem to have some complicated relationships with them, don't you?"
Chen Xu rolled his eyes without hesitation, thinking to himself, "How does this old empress dowager know everything?" He glared at Mingmei, "It must be this girl who told me!"
At this moment, Chen Xu's mother sighed: "Son, you've grown up now. It's your decision to date and who you choose to be with. Your parents don't want to interfere in this matter, but do you know who you really want to be with?"
Who do you want to be with?
Chen Xu was completely taken aback by the question.
Guan Yi was charming and intelligent. Being with her meant never running out of things to say, never being bored, and never feeling dull. Moreover, such a stunning beauty was truly every man's dream girl; putting everything else aside, just her figure alone was breathtaking. There's a saying online that men subconsciously like girls with large breasts. Chen Xu wasn't sure about others, but for himself, Guan Yi scored quite high in that regard.
Gao Xiaojie is lively, adorable, and exuberant. She and Chen Xu seem to share a similar penchant for mischief and sleazy things; for example, they can get into bad situations and be lewd together. Having a girl like that around makes it impossible to feel lonely, and they also share a common interest in computers. They can work together in the same field, whether it's hacking or gaming.
Zhan Jing was serene and gentle, not very talkative, but seeing her always brought a sense of peace to her heart. Chen Xu really didn't know what to consider her—a lover? A friend? But if he were to leave Zhan Jing, he would be reluctant.
Ugh, this is so difficult!
Seeing Chen Xu's frantic expression, his mother sighed, patted his shoulder, and said, "Think about it carefully yourself. As someone who's been through this, let me tell you, hesitation will only lead to more trouble."
Hmm, Mom means I have to choose one, but how am I supposed to choose?!
Fortunately, Chen Xu called his father at this time. Actually, Chen Xu and his father had always had a good relationship; after all, they were men, and they had a lot in common. After answering the phone, his father said disdainfully, "Don't listen to your mother! What does she know?! Besides, your mother is a super feminist. What's with this 'choose one' thing? How old are you? Can you guarantee that the girl you find now will be the one you spend your life with? So, son, your strategy now should be to cast a wide net and focus on the best catch. I'll talk to your mother about it. Don't worry, your old man will always support you!"
In fact, even without Chen Xu's father saying anything, Chen Xu's mother was already somewhat at a loss during the rest of the dinner.
Guan Yizhan, Jing Gao, and Xiao Jie all arrived as promised, and it was obvious that the three girls had dressed up carefully. Of course, they didn't wear heavy makeup, but they all paid special attention to their clothing.
With these three beautiful girls sitting there, Chen Xu's mother felt a little dizzy. At that moment, she also felt that if it were her, she would probably find it difficult to make a choice.
Guan Yi and Gao Xiaojie were both people Chen Xu's mother had met before, but this was the first time she had met Zhan Jing.
This morning, Chen Xu's mother gave Wang Mingmei a good talking-to. The girl had a very high opinion of Zhan Jing, and now that they've met, it's clear that she was right.
This girl sat there calmly, quietly sipping her tea, but every movement was so elegant and graceful, as if she were a living landscape. In this respect, neither Guan Yi nor Gao Xiaojie could compare to her.
However, in other aspects, both girls have their own strengths.
Guan Yi's face showed no embarrassment whatsoever. She acted as if she were an ordinary girl surprised to discover that the woman she had met once before and chatted with so readily was actually her classmate's mother. She didn't mention a word about yesterday's events. However, her speech and manners were those of a well-bred young lady, impeccably proper and refined.
Gao Xiaojie was also very reserved today, but not stage-frightened. The occasional exuberance she showed was also to Chen Xu's mother's liking.
This is really a difficult situation!
So Chen Xu's mother hesitated, thinking that her children and grandchildren had their own destinies, and that she shouldn't interfere in such matters.
As a regular dinner gathering among classmates, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. But heaven knows how nervous the group was inside, after all, Chen Xu's mother was... well, his mother-in-law!
For a young woman, her mother-in-law is a terrifying figure!
Guan Yi stayed up all night last night watching an old movie called "Seventy Episodes of Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law Battles"... but it turned out to be completely useless today.
In reality, this was essentially a disguised meeting of the parents, except that this time there were three girls meeting the parents at the same time. And when, many years later, this scene becomes a real meeting of the parents, the feeling back then will be very different from today.
Today's meal was just like a regular family gathering; there was neither fear nor excessive excitement as they ate. Only at the end did Chen Xu's mother pat Guan Yi's hand and whisper, "Please thank your father for me."
After seeing Guan Yi yesterday, Chen Xu's mother went to investigate Guan Yi's identity... but found that she couldn't find out anything!
This is more shocking than what was found, because Chen Xu's family now has considerable influence, yet they couldn't find anything about them, which means that Guan Yi's family is indeed unimaginably wealthy.
After entering this circle, Chen Xu's mother realized that many things were not as superficial as she had previously thought. Many wealthy and powerful families did not show their faces in public, and their stories were rarely seen in the media or news. After a moment's reflection, she immediately understood why Guan Yi had said that her boyfriend's family background was too different from hers.
If this girl is truly an heir from an ancient family, then she certainly has the right to say that.
Although Chen Xu's mother's thinking was still rooted in that of an ordinary family, and she didn't particularly care about the issue of social status in marriage, she knew that while she might not care, there were others who did, and many of them at that. For those people, although her family had some wealth, it certainly wasn't enough to make them look at her.
What's even more unacceptable to Chen Xu's mother is that girls like this will usually marry men who will live with them.
In other words, after this, the man will have no rights. And any children born will have to take the surname Guan… This is something that is difficult for a traditional person like Chen Xu's mother to accept.
However, children and grandchildren have their own destinies, and she can't worry about them now.
But before leaving, Chen Xu's mother privately said to him, "Son, who you like and who you want to marry is none of my business. But there's something I need to tell you: your parents can only offer so much help. If you really want to marry one of them, you'll have to rely entirely on yourself."
Chapter 221 Assessing the Hacker's Strength
Chen Xu didn't know his mother's true meaning, nor had she made it clear. Chen Xu assumed his mother was telling him to study hard and improve himself, but he didn't realize she was implying that if he wanted to marry Guan Yi, his family couldn't offer any support, and his only hope lay with the internet god, SMMH.
Only Chen Xu's parents could vaguely guess the true origin of the rabies killer drug, because they claimed it came from an ancient book. But in reality, only the two of them knew that their son had obtained the drug from somewhere.
Of course, since Chen Xu didn't say anything, they didn't ask. In truth, they already had a vague idea... Besides the legendary SMMH, who could produce something like this? Who could invent something like this?
Although SMMH is a god of the internet, seemingly unrelated to pharmaceuticals, no one else possesses such abilities.
Chen Xu's parents didn't understand what that SMMH meant either. Logically, no one would willingly part with something so sure to make money. Moreover, the rabies remedy had generated enormous profits for the Chen family, yet that man hadn't received a single penny… This was completely illogical!
But since they refused, even if they had helped them for nothing, there was no point in pursuing the matter now that it had happened. Chen Xu's parents could only guess that SMMH was an incredibly powerful and wealthy person or organization, and that they simply didn't care about the money.
Fortunately, his own son somehow managed to gain the favor of SMMH. If this kid really wants to marry Guan Yi, then his family's resources are simply not enough. They can only hope that SMMH will give him something else.
However, Chen Xu didn't understand his mother's meaning. His mother didn't explain because she didn't know her son's thoughts either. Anyway, he was still young; he was old enough to date, but far from marriage. Talking about it now was indeed too early. After all, they had been through it all; they had seen too many couples make vows of eternal love during their four years of university, only to break up after graduation. These words now were meaningless.
So a beautiful misunderstanding arose: Chen Xu still didn't know Guan Yi's family background... and even if he did, he wouldn't feel any pressure. Making money was incredibly easy; Bill Gates single-handedly became the world's richest man. In the computer field, Chen Xu, eighty years ahead of his time, was fully capable of becoming the true world's richest man... but he was too lazy right now. He simply lacked the motivation.
Chen Xu's current task is to prepare for this hacker competition.
Young and chubby relayed SMMH's agreement to be a special guest at the hacker competition to the Red Hacker Alliance, and this Chinese-language computer language began to circulate within the small circle of the Red Hacker Alliance... No one released it, because SMMH said he would release the Chinese language after the competition. So at this point, everyone felt that being able to preview it was a great honor, and no one would think of any crooked ideas.
Leaving aside the shock that the Chinese language brought to the Red Hacker Alliance's leadership, the mere fact that SMMH agreed to be a special guest and was willing to meet with the final champion and offer guidance was enough to create a sensation!
Hacking is inherently a very secretive profession, and its competitions are confined to a small circle. Therefore, hacker competitions can never be conducted in a high-profile manner like other e-sports competitions, with live broadcasts or similar events. In fact, many ordinary people would never even know that such competitions exist.
This was the original intention of the Red Hacker Alliance for this hacking competition. Although it had a strong influence, it was ultimately limited to the Red Hacker forum circle, at most affecting some computer enthusiasts who followed this trend. After all, the average person couldn't possibly understand a hacking competition, even if they watched it.
However, upon seeing this Chinese-language computer language, the top management of the Red Hacker Alliance changed their minds after an emergency discussion.
These people are all elites in the computer industry. Furthermore, the Red Hacker Alliance has close ties with the military. As soon as they obtained this Chinese language, the Red Hacker Alliance immediately communicated with the military. Subsequently, the military reported it to the state, and the Ministry of Information had to establish a special Chinese language research group to study the language's development, widespread adoption, and potential impact.
After preliminary research, the research team leader excitedly presented a preliminary report, which included a bold hypothesis: This Chinese language is more than three times more readily accepted by Chinese learners than any English computer language! It is the most suitable computer language for Chinese learners.
If this is promoted, it could elevate China's software industry to a new level in three to five years at the earliest. Within ten years, it could completely reverse the sluggish state of China's IT industry... This is only from a technical perspective. From a market perspective, this would require the government to introduce other policies.
However, there is no doubt that China's IT industry can catch up with India within ten years, thereby cultivating a large number of outstanding talents and creating a large amount of value.
Moreover, the writing system of the Chinese language seems to be more advanced than that of other languages today.
The officials in charge of SMMH have become almost numb to the amazing things they've brought out. That guy is too amazing, the undisputed god of the internet; he truly is a god, so it's normal for him to produce any incredible artifacts. However, there's no doubt that SMMH will likely be recorded in history in the future.
