Chapter 49: Digging and Burying Pits
Since March 1, 1994, China has implemented a five-day work week every other week, if it is closed on Saturday and Sunday, it is called a big weekend, if there is no rest on Saturday and Sunday is off, it is called a small weekend, this strange work system did not end until May 1, 1995, and then it is a five-day work week around the clock.

Du Qiu's family rushed back to Yuncheng on Friday, February 17th, and the next 18th and 19th are big weekends, if it is a normal office worker, you can just rest and adjust at home for two days, but Du Chunhua, as a teacher in the Children's Palace, is busier and busier on weekends, so she got up early in the morning, she is a very principled person, although she is ready to resign, but after all, she has not resigned, so she still goes to work on time in accordance with the past practice.
"Sister, I have already called Wenxiu about the shares, you go directly to Yunda to find them at noon, and then go shopping together to see the office building. After Du Qiu finished breakfast, he put the car key on the dining table and said, "Someone will pick me up and go to the institute, you can drive the car today, you have to run around in several places to see the building, it is convenient to have a car." β
"Okay. β
"Be careful, especially when crossing traffic lights, because many people are driving on a rampage and have no sense of traffic safety at all. β
"You've only been driving in China for a few days? I've been driving for three or four years, and I know better than you the virtues of those people, and I'll be careful. β
Du Chunhua died in 2010 because of a series of car accidents on the highway, she was sandwiched between several runaway trucks, which is a force majeure natural disaster and man-made disaster, not a car quality or driving technology problem, Du Qiu reminded and reminded, because in 1995, the traffic management of Yuncheng was very poor, neither a speedometer, nor a quick photo, but also no surveillance camera, as long as they were not caught on the spot, they would not be punished, the drivers had no fear, all kinds of violations, he went out yesterday morning, came back at night, in just a few dozen minutes of driving, he met four or five guys who ran the red light, scared into a cold sweatγ
Before going out, Du Chunhua squatted on the ground, helping Lin Jinyan tie his scarf, and asked, "How long are you going to stay in the institute today?"
"I don't know, maybe four or five o'clock in the afternoon. β
"If you're done, come back early, and accompany me to invite Wenxiu and them to dinner in the evening, which can be regarded as an official shareholding. β
"Okay, I'll send you a text message when the time comes. β
Less than two minutes after Du Chunhua left, Du Qiu heard a knock on the door, he originally thought that his mother had forgotten what to bring, but when he opened the door, he found that it was Chen Dawei, he was wearing a dark short windbreaker, and he seemed to be a little thinner than a year ago, but his complexion was very good, he looked energetic, and he arched his hand a little contrivedly, and said loudly: "Brother Qiu, Happy New Year!"
Du Qiu talked to him on the phone yesterday and made an appointment to go to the Institute of Quantum Physics together today, so he was not surprised at all, and greeted with a smile: "Happy New Year, come in and sit." β
Before Chen Dawei entered the house to change his shoes, he looked inside a few times and asked, "You are alone at home?"
"Yes, my sister and they are all out. Du Qiu pointed to the preserved egg and lean porridge on the table and said, "Do you want to eat some together?" The meat and rice are all brought from my hometown in the Northeast, and they taste good. β
"I ate before I came...... Then eat a little and try Brother Qiu's craftsmanship...... Forget it, it's still not a hassle. β
Du Qiu is actually the same as Chen Dawei and Chen Dayou, both of whom are unsociable technical nerds, and often use routines when dealing with people, such as praising other people's names when they meet, but he has more routines, strong observation skills, and is good at watching people cook, so he is not as pretentious as the Chen brothers when dealing with people, but he essentially belongs to the same kind of people, so he can see Chen Dawei's reality at a glance.
It is very likely that this guy has been here for a long time, and he has been staying downstairs, deliberately waiting for Du Chunhua to leave before coming up and knocking on the door......
When I was in middle school, I used to go to my classmates during the Spring Festival......
This kind of nervousness is actually the result of lack of self-confidence and self-pressure, as long as the other party shows a friendly and close attitude, it can be eliminated immediately, Du Qiu took out a pair of chopsticks from the kitchen, filled a small half bowl of porridge, and put it on the dining table very casually, and said: "Dawei, I don't know if you have eaten or not, come and taste it first, eat more if it is delicious, and if it is not delicious, it will be interesting, don't be polite between friends, if you have something to say, what should be is what, otherwise it is too hypocritical and boring." β
Sure enough, as expected, Chen Dawei's expression immediately relaxed, and the sense of alienation caused by not seeing each other for a long time disappeared, he sat down at the dining table, and nagged with a smile: "I did eat, but my mother went abroad these days, and my father didn't know how to cook at all, so he had to do it, and the things he made were very unpalatable, but he had to give him face, so he ate a little bit in the morning...... Hey, Brother Qiu, your porridge is really good, I'll have some more. β
"You Sheng yourself. Du Qiu was about to officially launch his Internet giant plan, and began to take the initiative to inquire about the details of the Chen family, and asked: "Your father should be a high-ranking official, right? β
"My dad is a high-ranking official, just a petty official at the deputy department level, who is the vice president of the Provincial Institute of Posts and Telecommunications Technology, dealing with data and cables every day, and has no power. β
It turned out to be a technocrat......
But looking at his food and clothing, he doesn't look like the second generation of petty bureaucrats......
"What about your mother, what does she do?"
"My mother opened her own company, specializing in paging station business, the country is about to open GSM mobile communication network, she plans to transform to sell mobile phones, GSM is made in Europe, so these days with a few friends went there to investigate. β
Before mobile phones entered thousands of households, paging stations were a lucrative industry......
It turned out to be a combination of the second generation of officials and the second generation of wealth, no wonder there is no shortage of money......
Du Qiu was about to inquire about Chen Dayou's details, but Chen Dawei was impatient, and after only eating a few bites of a bowl of porridge, he began to ask: "Brother Qiu, have you read the source code of my game?"
"Look, I've changed some code, you eat first, I'll get it for you. β
That HP 100LX although it runs the DOS system,It can be typed,It can also be programmed,But the screen and keyboard are too small,Emergency use is OK,It will be very painful to really use it to write programs,So when Du Qiuchun was in his hometown,In addition to writing a notepad business plan,Hardly I have done anything else with it,In my spare time, the main thing is to toss Chen Dawei's game source code,After all, it is a printed manuscript,It's very convenient to read,It's easy to changeγ
Du Qiu said that he changed some code, but he was actually modest, because he not only changed the source code beyond recognition, but also changed the basic settings and gameplay rules of the game itself, which is almost equivalent to tearing down and restarting and making a brand new game - as an otaku who has experienced a hundred battles and played hundreds of games, changing a small game with rough settings and simple technology that is not even a beta version is simply a piece of cake.
The effect of the change is very ideal, Chen Dawei only read a few pages of setting instructions and became excited, he didn't even eat, he stood up with a hula, and said loudly: "Brother Qiu, let's go, let's go to the research institute now,! Brother Qiu, your idea is too good, if these settings are realized, it will definitely be a super awesome game! After making it, show it to Yuan Tiangang, it is estimated that he will worship Brother Qiu as much as Guo Xiang saw Yang Guo." β
Yuan Tiangang is a thin otaku with a pale face, how can he be compared with the smart and beautiful Guo Xiang......
This guy is still talking as scribbled as before......
Du Qiu couldn't cry and laughed, and said, "Don't worry, you eat your meal first, I'll wash the dishes, and then go to the research institute." β
"What kind of dishes are you washing! Just come back and wash them again in the evening." β
"Dawei, writing code is the same as living a life, there must be a beginning and an end. Du Qiu coughed, and said with a serious face: "The memory must be released after it is used, the dishes must be washed after the rice is eaten, and the sinkhole must be buried after it is dug, and you can't leave it alone, otherwise you will become a eunuch." β
"What is a sinkhole?"
"A sinkhole is something that doesn't look like a pit, but is actually a pit, and if you don't bury it, you won't be able to climb out once you fall into it, and it's the two most terrifying things in the computer and Internet world, along with memory overflow. β
"Memory overflow is really troublesome, but I still don't know what a sinkhole is. β
"You'll understand later. β
Chen Dawei quickly understood what Tiankeng was, because before the Spring Festival, Du Qiu had said that he wanted to make an audio compression program, but on the way to the Institute of Quantum Physics, he changed his words and said that it was just an idea, only part of the algorithm was completed, and the code was not written a single line, and it was far from completion, and he did not plan to write this program in the near future.
"Brother Qiu, you can't do this!After listening to your introduction last time, I thought that format was very promising, with small capacity and high sound quality, it was simply tailor-made for the game, and now I don't write it?!"
"I didn't say I wouldn't write it, I just said I'd write it later. β
"When will it be in the future?"
"I don't know, in a few months or a year, the network is not developed now, and it's still a bit early to make audio software, so I plan to get another more urgent software first. β
"What software?"
"Browser. β
That's right, it's the browser!
The entrance passage and super killer of the Internet world, the fetish that any Internet giant covets, master it, and master the future of the Internet!
If you do a browser in 2016, it is equivalent to building a high-rise building in the Himalayas, not only the technical difficulty is extremely great, the competitive pressure is also great, there are giants such as Microsoft, Google, Apple and other giants abroad, and there are Tencent, 360, Alibaba and other heroes in China, there is no room for newcomers to come out.
However, in 1995, if you make a browser, it is equivalent to building a three-story building in the countryside of the plain, not only the technical difficulty is low, but the competitive pressure is also small, because at this time the Internet is still in a blank pioneering period, the website and the web page must be in the three languages, HTML and CSS have not even formulated the most basic standards, JavaScript has not yet appeared, the browser at this time only needs to parse the static page, the technical difficulty is not high, and the competitor has only one Netscape that has not been established for a long time.
Of course, the 1995 Netscape is not weak, its scape-navigator browser since December 15, 1994 officially released, swept the entire Internet with a spark, in less than two years it has more than 50 million users, accounting for about 9% of the browser market share, even a giant like Microsoft took more than 3 years to beat it, and it was defeated in a hemorrhagic way of free + upside down.
But Du Qiu has his own killer feature, this killer feature is the JavaScript language, if the web page is compared to human beings, HTML is the skin, CSS is the bone, JavaScript is the muscles and nerves, controlling the dynamic function of the page, belongs to the indispensable technology, in 2016, JavaScript has been recognized as the assembly language of the Internet world, is one of the core technologies of the entire Internet operation and development.
However, such an important language was originally just a gadget designed by a Netscape programmer in 10 days, this programmer named Brandon Edge, who was hired by Netscape in April 1995, designed JavaScript in May, and now it is only February, Du Qiu can start in advance, turn JavaScript into his own product, embed it in a free and open source browser, promote it to the world, and turn it into an industry standard.
This plan is the real sinkhole, once dug up, Netscape and Microsoft will fall into it, and they will never be able to climb out again......
Not only Netscape and Microsoft, but also Google and Apple in the future will fall into this sinkhole, with no hope of climbing out......
