Just when the VV chat software swept the country, Xiao Ma Ge, who was far away in Shenzhen, was studying the software functions of ICQ step by step with several programmers.

Interface, although the early ICQ function is very simple, the difficulty of copying the whole is not great, however, the software industry in China has just emerged in recent years, and the programming software that many programmers in this era are most familiar with is the BASIC language and Professor Tan's C language, and the gap between the world level is too big.

If the programmers under your command are okay to write software, then there is still a long way to go to understand the TCP/IP protocol of the Internet. What's more, chat software that requires high real-time performance of the network can only be learned and done at the same time. The most realistic thing is to directly copy the ICQ software, make the software first, and after it is launched, run it for a period of time to see, and then cross the river by feeling the stones.

A group of people, during this time, buried their heads in the outside of the window, single-mindedly trying to decompile the ICQ software, clone all its features, and understand its program source code. Fortunately, due to the strict protection of copyright laws abroad, the company that developed ICQ is not worried that other companies dare to copy its program and infringe on the production rights of ICQ, so it just adds a layer of shell protection to the program, and does not even do encryption.

After the shell, the source program has faded all the veils and is displayed in everyone's current situation, but the cracked program must be without comments, so it can only be compiled and tested step by step to understand its operating principles and functional modules.

The software is very small, the code is written in C++, very compact, several programmers in it look at each other, get along for the past few months, each other know each other, if you say C language, everyone is more familiar, understand other people's code, it may take some time, but also little by little to understand the source code.

However, C++, most universities do not offer this course now, and the C++ knowledge learned is basically self-taught through books, and in terms of familiarity, it is definitely not as good as the C language. Although you can read C++ and get twice the result with half the effort, in fact, C++ is far more powerful than C, and the complexity is unparalleled.

Although others say that C++ is a superset of the C language, in fact, these are two completely different languages.

To put it simply, C is a process descriptive language, while C++ is an object-oriented language, and you can see a huge difference in terms of attribution.

While looking at the code, I compared it to an original English C++ reference book, gnawed at the source code bit by bit, commented on the code, and then the tester combined the comments to try to restore the block diagram.

These two or three months were basically spent like this.

While he was busy, the door of the house was pushed open, and a man and a woman walked in, each carrying a large number of boxed lunches.

The people who had been busy all morning did not feel hungry at first, but as soon as they smelled the aroma of the food, they immediately felt that they could not stand the hunger! Without being greeted, they stopped their work one after another, gathered around the dining table, and prepared to feast on their stomachs that were about to be hungry.

Brother Xiao Ma beckoned a few people who were discussing in another room to eat together.

More than a dozen people sat around, opened the lunch box, and feasted.

After a few bites, Xiao Ma suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and struggled to divert his attention from the fragrant lunch box. When he raised his head, he realized that a man and a woman who went out to buy food were just standing at the dinner table, and they didn't want to eat.

He immediately asked strangely, "What's wrong with you two, are you stealing delicious food outside?"

The people around also coaxed together: "The time you two went out this time is more than half an hour longer than before, confess, have you already eaten!"

The two men stood there, their heads bowed, silent. There was no response, and everyone's expressions were a little sneering, and it seemed that the joke was a bit cold.

A bunch of people laughed and talked, but the two of them remained silent and did not speak. Brother Xiao Ma felt that something was wrong, and said to the man: "Xiao Zhu, what's wrong with you, what's wrong, you name it, let's help you solve it together!"

He thought that Xiao Zhu might not have something wrong at home.

While she was thinking about it, the lady who came back with her suddenly had her shoulders jerking sharply, her nose choked, and she was about to cry.

The appearance of the two of them startled Brother Xiaoma, and he looked at Xiao Zhu who was speechless impatiently, and said to the lady: "Xiaolin, tell me, what happened, we are about to die!"

"Brother Ma, now there is a software on the Internet!" After a pause, the lady continued: "It's a chat software, the name is VV." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ma's heart tightened, and he felt that his breathing was a little difficult.

On the surface, he responded briskly: "What if there is chat software, let's do ours, they do theirs, do they make chat software, there is no way for us to live?"

Originally, when they heard the news, the people who were a little nervous heard Brother Xiaoma's words, and suddenly they seemed to think about it. Yes, you can't always count on you to be the only chat app on the market!

It is normal for competitors to appear, but it is somewhat unexpected to appear so early.

"This shows that there are people who, like us, are optimistic about the big market of instant chat, which is a good thing!" Xiao Ma said.

This made everyone's hearts flutter, yes, if it was just their own group of people who were optimistic about the market of instant chat software, it might be a little taken for granted. But now, chat software from other companies has also come out, which shows that this big cake is really delicious.

After saying this, Brother Xiao Ma saw everyone's spirits lifted, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, this is a critical time, but you can't be completely discouraged because of the appearance of competitors.

It's just that the style of painting is still a little wrong! Xiao Zhu, who usually admires himself the most, should be full of fighting spirit inspired by his words, instead of crying and mourning his face as he did just now.

Xiao Zhu raised his head at this time, looked directly at Xiao Ma and said, "Brother Ma, on the way to buy food, we heard a few college students discussing this chat software, so we ran to an Internet café next to it and used this software. Although it was only a little more than half an hour of trial. However, the functionality and excellence of this software is definitely far superior to ICQ. Even if we clone ICQ completely, we won't be able to compete with others at all. ”

"What's more, in order to respond to the needs of Internet customers, every computer in the Internet café is pre-installed with this software. ”

Hearing this, Little Brother Ma felt the invisible rope tighten her neck little by little.
