There are 88 days before the opening of the Olympic Games, Zhang Lexing once again opened the great wisdom to observe the market, and the screen is still full of pessimistic green, and the expected Olympic market has not arrived for a long time, so he can only turn off the market software in disappointment and reinvest his energy into his program optimization.

Zhang Lexing had a lot of unpleasant things in his life, an accident in 1980 made him lonely from then on, relying on the help of his neighbor Uncle Zhao, he completed high school, and was lucky to be admitted to university. After graduating from university, he worked in the assigned factory for several years, and then went south to Guangzhou to work in the spring breeze of reform, and worked in several companies intermittently, with success and disappointment, but he accumulated a lot of experience in various industries, and began to gradually come into contact with some network communication technology. In 2001, by chance, he came to a physics institute in southwest China where he is currently working and was responsible for technical maintenance. After a few years of struggle, Zhang Lexing finally accumulated some savings, last year to see the stock market booming, but also learn to put money into the stock market, but unfortunately bad luck, did not enjoy a few days of fun to make money began to ride a roller coaster, all the way down to today. After studying the stock market for several months, but still can't see the direction of the future, thinking that he is already over the age of confusion, his heart is full of wow, if it is not for his own hobbies, he doesn't know how to live this day.

Zhang Lexing's main hobbies are two, one is gaming and the other is programming. I found out when I was in college, once I helped my classmates send materials to the school's computer room, and I happened to see someone playing "Pacman" on an Apple II, although the picture is very simple, but it seems to have infinite attraction, so that Zhang Lexing has been standing next to the computer until the end of class. Later, Zhang Lexing saw a rare little genius game console (in fact, it was a copy of Nintendo's red and white machine) at the same time, which made him see a new world. In the past few years in the factory, there was no other gain, but Zhang Lexing saved some money and owned his first game console and a black-and-white second-hand TV. During the years of wandering in Guangzhou, Zhang Lexing's equipment also began to change, from Sega's MD to Nintendo's SFC to Sony's PS, and game cartridges and CDs have also accumulated a lot. Later, because of the work relationship, I used more computers, and gradually began to come into contact with a variety of computer games, from the earliest "SimCity" to the newly baked "Dinosaur Hunter".

The reason why I was interested in programming came from the dream of game design. Ever since he came into contact with the games on Nintendo's red and white machines, Zhang Lexing has always hoped that one day he can make such a game by himself. This dream didn't have time to realize until he came to work in the institute, and after many years of wandering in the alien forum, Zhang Lexing finally figured out the production method of Nintendo games, and made a few simple games published on the forum, although the downloader Miao Miao, but also let himself pass the addiction of game production. A few years ago, I began to be fascinated by the second-hand computer forum, and became interested in the assembly programming design of Apple II, and even tried to write an operating system on Apple II, after searching for information and discussing on the Internet, Zhang Lexing finally wrote an operating system with 1500 lines of source code, of course, all this was achieved on the simulator. This operating system refers to a lot of previous experience, the function is relatively powerful, in Zhang Lexing often soaked in the second-hand computer forum also made a little influence, but also by the good people to give a "Kylin" name, and even a master transplanted this operating system to an ancient IBMPC-XT host, Zhang Lexing has studied his modified source code, I feel that I have benefited a lot.

Today's operating system optimization work has been the thirty-sixth optimization after the release of the source code, Zhang Lexing has read a lot of reference materials during this time, and has a lot of new ideas on operating system design, this optimization is to verify his own ideas. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon after completing the partial code modification, Zhang Lexing rubbed his somewhat sore shoulders and got up and came to the window, outside the window was a small garden, and a few tall trees grew on the green grass. In the middle of the garden is a fountain with jets of water that rise and fall from time to time, shimmering golden in the afternoon sun.

There was a piercing alarm behind him, Zhang Lexing turned around and came to the workbench, and found that the alarm sound came from the monitoring computer, and the icon on the monitoring screen representing Laboratory 16 was flashing red alarm lights, which should be a communication failure in the network.

"Ma Shuai......" Zhang Lexing habitually greeted, but remembered that Ma Shuai had temporarily asked for leave at noon today, and had no choice but to run by himself.

Zhang Lexing, carrying the toolbox, came to the elevator, reached out and pressed the button of B5 (minus five floors), and there was a slight shaking, and the elevator began to sink. Looking at the floor indicator lights beating layer by layer, Zhang Lexing suddenly panicked for no reason, but fortunately, the elevator door opened quickly, and the negative fifth floor arrived. Zhang Lexing walked out of the elevator and walked along the passage, perhaps because of the rest time, there was no one in the passage. Walking all the way to the end of the passage, Zhang Lexing came to the gate of Laboratory No. 16, and the multi-function indicator next to the gate was lit with a red light representing a network failure, and it seemed that the monitoring system had not been a false alarm.

Zhang Lexing picked up the identification card hanging on his chest and swiped it on the card reader at the door, the green light on the "Di" card reader lit up, and the door of the laboratory began to slowly slide to one side. Putting away the identification card, Zhang Lexing walked into the laboratory with the toolbox.

This should only be the outer room of the laboratory, with an area of about 20 square meters. There was a door on the left-hand side, and the card reader next to the door had a red light on it, which looked like it should be closed, and there was a faint humming sound from inside. On the other side, there is a desk against the wall, and there is an LCD computer on it, and it is estimated that it should be the one that is out of order. Zhang Lexing took out the detection tool and began to check the network, relying on the powerful Flux, he quickly found the cause of the failure - the information module on the wall failed. Fortunately, there are spare parts in the toolbox, and after replacing the module, the network is back to normal immediately.

At this time, Zhang Lexing found that the temperature in the room seemed to be higher than when he first came in, and beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhang Lexing stood up and prepared to relax. Suddenly, there was a violent shaking in the laboratory, Zhang Lexing was unstable, and he fell backwards involuntarily. Zhang Lexing waved his arms desperately, and the whole person turned almost 180 degrees before he finally managed to stand still. Zhang Lexing gasped and reached out to support the wall, but he didn't expect a more violent shaking to come, and he stumbled forward again. The closed door in front of me opened at some point, revealing a huge machine inside, from which there was a humming sound, and in the middle of it was a thick white pillar of light.

Zhang Lexing found that the direction he was moving was the pillar of light in the middle of the machine, but as the shaking intensified, the pillar of light began to fluctuate, and the buzzing of the machine began to become louder and smaller. Zhang Lexing instinctively felt a hint of danger and tried hard to control his body, but unfortunately he soon found himself desperate that his efforts were in vain.

After barely resisting for a while, Zhang Lexing still fell into the white pillar of light, which began to fluctuate violently, and the hum of the machine became louder and louder. A strong tearing sensation came, and Zhang Lexing, who couldn't stand it, turned black in front of him and fainted. The monitor at the scene recorded Zhang Lexing's last moments, as the buzzing sound of the machine continued to increase, his figure in the white pillar of light became fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared without a trace, and it didn't take long for only a white snowflake noise to be left on the monitor.
