Chapter 18: A flash of inspiration
The "Universal Translation" app that Luo Ji is using now is, of course, the app that he personally registered as a member, mainly because this app is really different from the normal app, and other apps borrow other people's member accounts without any problems at all.
Like the VIP membership account of many video sites, it is often shared between family members or friends, which can also save money.
However, this "Universal Translation" app seems to be soul-bound after registering as a member, and its own account cannot be used by others.
Of course, many netizens who are ignorant of science call this "technology" "brainwave encryption" technology, saying that everyone's brainwaves are unique, and only their own brainwaves can use their own accounts, and other people's can't use them, which is cool, isn't it?
But what they don't know is that this is actually magic encryption technology, and mages keep their magic scrolls and magic items carefully, and often only themselves, or their designated users, can activate them smoothly.
Obviously, the magic scroll disguised as an app uses this technology, and if you want to crack it, you have to let a professional mage do it.
A computer technology expert like Luo Ji came to study this "universal translation" app, but in fact, the major is not right at all!
Luo Ji, like other professionals in the computer field, felt very incredible after experiencing the "universal mode", where is the function that the app can have, saying that it is a special function made by superpowers in the spiritual field, or that the qigong master has worked on the app, he feels more reliable.
Then Luo Ji still did the same thing as other professionals, that is, with the "R&D funds" given by the company, he opened many permissions in the mall in one go, including the "perfect reading and writing of computer language" that had just been launched, which was opened at one time, and it was only 50,000 yuan, and then he also spent 10,000 yuan to buy 1,000 hours of time.
Then Luo Ji deviated a little from his original train of thought, he suddenly thought that there were still a few thorny problems in programming that had not been solved last time, and then he turned on the "universal mode" to solve the previous problems first.
Under this "universal mode", he feels as if he is incarnated as a humanoid computer, which can perfectly simulate the logic of the computer, and then write the code, and there will be absolutely no bugs, and the program can run perfectly on the computer!
The ease of use of this "universal app" really made Luo Ji addicted, and he suddenly felt that even if he couldn't figure out what this app was on the surface, he actually didn't know what it was, and it might be a super-high-tech creation from aliens, so it didn't matter...... As long as it's easy to use, it's a programmer's golden finger!
He looked at the perfect code written on his computer, which made him feel impeccable, and only felt that in an instant, his curiosity about the "Universal Translation" app reached the apex, and he decided to delve deeper!
Next, he did what he and other technicians had done, that is, to explore its source code, and it is not difficult for a real technical master to use some hacker methods to figure out the source code of an app that seems to be produced by a small workshop.
But what makes Luo Ji unbelievable is that this app clearly has only one icon, its size is less than 200MB, and it is even fake, used to deceive people, after all, users who know a little bit about data size, see that an app is only a few kb, they will feel that it is unreliable, and then they will not download it.
Luo Ji was completely stunned at this moment, no matter how awesome the computer is, he can't study the flowers in front of an app that is just an icon!
He suddenly remembered that when he first came into contact with the computer, at that time it was still a time when the three-point five-inch floppy disk was popular, the capacity of the floppy disk was very small, and he couldn't copy some slightly larger games, so he naively copied the game's icon directly, and wanted to play it when he took a microcomputer class, but of course he couldn't start the game.
Later, he learned that the game icon is just one of the components of the game, and it is still the most minor thing, and the real body of the game should be the program.
Since then, he has had a great interest in computers, and later he was admitted to the computer department of Mizuki University, the best in China, with excellent results, and then had the opportunity to study abroad through a full scholarship and obtained a doctorate, before returning to China, and then with excellent computer technology, he established a position in this field.
Luo Ji is not strong in theory, but his strong practical ability, as well as a keen sense of smell and a flash of inspiration.
At this time, he, like other technicians, discovered the essence of this app, and after it turned out to be just an icon, he did not doubt life like other technicians, and completely gave up the idea of studying it, but stared at the icon of this reticulated earth and fell into deep thought.
When other technicians thought that only by finding the developer of this app could they really figure out how it worked, Luo Ji silently copied the icon to the computer, and then opened it with PS software.
This is all a flash of inspiration, he used PS software to enlarge this icon, and finally found the key place that made him feel critical!
After this icon is enlarged, there is something else!
Luo Ji looked at the runes on the icon that he couldn't understand at all, as well as the paintings (magic circles) composed of runes that looked like a flat projection of high-dimensional images, and he muttered to himself: "This is really the black technology of aliens......
Luo tried to understand those images, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that they were full of charm, as if they had a special mathematical beauty.
It's a pity that he is not an expert in mathematics, he doesn't understand topology, and he is not a linguist, so this Sima thing disguised as an app should not be explored by him at all!
I don't know what kind of mentality it is, maybe it's because he thinks this thing is too easy to use, he didn't report the secret he found in a flash of inspiration to the top at the first time, but couldn't help but use the app's "feedback" function to try to send a message to the "aliens" who developed the app.
He also believes that in order to understand the principle of this "app", it is the most important thing to find the initiator, if the other party is replying to him on the Internet, then with his technology, he should be able to locate the other party's IP address.
His message goes like this - I found the secret of this app, and the key to it is that the icon is enlarged, if you don't want this secret to be exposed, just reply to me.
