Chapter 10 Money is humble in the face of technology
"The ideas and methods are guided by my predecessors, but I really designed it myself, and the architecture is like this......"
Sitting on a bench on the side of the road, Xia Ming explained to Zhang Zhicheng.
Half a month ago, he decided to make some money first. After taking courses in calculus, linear algebra, probability theory, discrete mathematics, and numerical analysis, I moved on to computer programming, where I digested everything along the lines of computer theory, assembly language, C/C++, Java, and Android and Apple development.
In the process of learning, he found that once he understood the math, it was like installing a rocket booster, and learning programming was not too simple. From the most basic compilation all the way up, there are so many algorithms and techniques, which are basically common in various languages, and the rest are all things that only need to be memorized. With R3AI, he learns programming dozens or even hundreds of times faster than ordinary people.
After studying for more than ten days, Xia Ming felt that he could become a teacher. During this time, he has been looking for work on the same city website. A few days ago, I saw a post about recruiting experts to solve the problem of APP code encryption, and I sent an email with the idea of giving it a try, and finally made progress.
Before Zhang Zhicheng replied, Xia Ming was thinking about the solution to this problem. Taking the general path and adding some skills that just consume the time of the cracker is simple, but it is not interesting for Xia Ming, who has learned hard.
It happened that he began to become interested in the quaternary system mentioned by Lin Cheng. Afraid that the abnormal performance would expose R3AI, he didn't dare to discuss the quaternary system directly with Lin Cheng, but knocked on the side, made up a list of materials in various clichΓ©s, and then followed these materials to the foreign academic community, and learned a lot about the various designs of the quaternary system under the existing computer system.
With these foundations, he used this work as a practice and used a lot of quaternary things.
"That is, you made a quaternary virtual machine......"
Zhang Zhicheng's suspicions had long since disappeared, and he looked in a trance, as if he was listening to the Gospels, and he had to work hard to understand.
Originally, he thought it was too funny to sit on a chair on the side of the road and talk about things, but now he has an inferiority complex that he is not worthy of this chair.
Quaternary is a completely fantasy-level concept for the software industry, and there are few immortals in the academic circle, relying on this, encryption is unbreakable.
"Far from it," Xia Ming said, "I just made a four-phase distribution of the memory call link, and then wrote a virtual environment for this link." The hardware instruction set is there, and the interfaces, call patterns, and algorithms are a little different, and the code has to be rewritten, and there is no way to directly apply it to other programs. β
This idea was not researched by Xia Ming himself, but made up by synthesizing several papers. It was Lin Cheng who led him into the world's top academic circles, although he could only sightsee, everything he could see was the best in this era.
"It's a pity, if you can take it out and make it into a general-purpose one, the entire software industry will be in chaos."
Zhang Zhicheng understood that Xia Ming's set of things was handmade, and if you change an APP to do encryption, you have to rewrite the code.
Xia Ming has no regrets, even if his learning speed is a hundred times faster than ordinary people, it is impossible to reach the sky in one step. Now his level is equivalent to a coder with two or three years of work experience. It's just that he is strong in the information, has a wide vision, and has access to the most cutting-edge academic achievements.
"Xiao Xia, what exactly are you doing at the research institute? How's the treatment? β
After discussing the details, it was confirmed that even if Xia Ming's set of things mastered a whole set of new methods from the bottom up, he still had to crack the random key before it could be cracked.
Xia Ming smiled: "I'm just a computer room administrator, I'm busy learning things, and I'm also temporarily short of money to do this." β
Computer room administrator? can manage the computer room of the research institute, and the status is no different from that of a librarian, and he is really a cow. But listening to the meaning of this, there are no plans to work part-time, let alone change jobs.
Zhang Zhicheng swallowed the words of the solicitation back into his stomach, but there is no need to worry, when the company grows and the relationship with Xia Ming is familiar, it is not too late to talk.
Zhang Zhicheng made a plan, such a genius, he is absolutely unwilling to let go.
"I'll send you the interface code that needs to be encrypted when I go back, and in terms of compensation, you see...... Is 300,000 enough? That's only half the story! As you say, the other half will be paid when the other half is done! β
Speaking of money, Zhang Zhicheng was a little nervous, in front of such a good technique, 600,000 yuan was indeed humble, but he was indeed a little tight now. However, Xia Ming can go to the same city website to find a job, and 600,000 should be above expectations.
Xia Ming thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, the time depends on the complexity, and it shouldn't take more than half a month." β
Zhang Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Xia Ming's expression as usual, he secretly said that this young man is really a master who regards money as dung.
"Six hundred thousand! Ha ha! 600,000! Knowledge is wealth! I'm going to install one...... No, three top-of-the-line computers! Three 4K curved large-screen monitors are put together, one is to search for information, one is to listen to online open classes, and one is to play games! Oculus, PSVR, HoloLens, all VR headsets! β
Zhang Zhicheng never imagined that Xia Ming's mind was already having a carnival, and the reason why his face was stable was due to the fact that he often activated the perception of the other, and his expression and heart had gradually become disconnected.
A big stone that was about to crush his spine fell to the ground, and Zhang Zhicheng was extremely relaxed. Looking at Xia Ming at this time, the feeling is different again.
This young man is only in his early twenties, less than 1.8 meters tall, and his appearance is a little more pleasing to the eye. Wearing a fleece casual suit printed with the Big-bang logo, and the casual cloth shoes on the feet are all Taobao goods, I don't see decorations such as watches, rings, necklaces, etc., and I am clean and slippery. I'm a little shy when I don't speak.,It's just a young college student with a normal family background.γ
"How old are you this year, I didn't call you wrong, did you?"
Zhang Zhicheng thought that he was also a top student of computers, and after twenty or thirty years of hard study and training, he didn't know as much as this young man, did he start reading from his mother's womb? How wicked must this be, isn't it the wrong age?
The question in the other party's eyes was too obvious, Xia Ming said: "You are not wrong, you are not wrong, I am just an intern at the research institute, and I am twenty-two this year." β
Zhang Zhicheng was stunned and said with a smile: "Yanda is a lot of geniuses, haha......"
Xia Ming didn't want to fake his background: "I'm from Yanhua University." β
Zhang Zhicheng coughed, and it took a few seconds to sort out his emotions this time: "Yan Hua's ability to enter the research institute of Yan University is even more powerful, haha......"
Xia Ming sighed, Mr. Zhang, you just say it's unscientific, I'm tired of looking at my facial nerves so embarrassed.
The two looked at each other, speechless for a while, Zhang Zhicheng was shocked to the point that he was out of shape, Xia Ming was powerless to socialize, and they all felt that they could end this meeting with a politeness, and they didn't know how to be polite.
When he was embarrassed, the savior came, and his crisp voice appeared with a fragrant breath: "Xia Ming, you have to be a little measured when you touch the fish, and you also go outside to bask in the sun during work hours, don't you think you can't deduct your salary?" β
Tang Xiaotang walked over from the direction of the parking lot, Zhang Zhicheng glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up. When I got closer, I saw something, my face was straight, and I told Xia Ming a joke: "No wonder it's so powerful, my girlfriend is urging me at any time." β
It's Xia Ming's turn to cough, and he doesn't blame Zhang Zhicheng, Tang Xiaotang is wearing the same casual clothes as him, his is dark blue, Tang Xiaotang is light gray, and more obviously there are big Big-bang marks printed on his chest.
Tang Xiaotang didn't hear clearly, and asked Xia Ming: "Girlfriend?" Do you have a girlfriend? β
Seeing that Zhang Zhicheng was about to speak, Xia Ming hurriedly interrupted: "This is my uncle, Professor Tang, the deputy director of the research institute." β
Zhang Zhicheng seemed to be confused with a face of 502, and his smile was stiff on the spot, this beautiful little girl who is younger than Xia Ming is a professor!?
Tang Xiaotang corrected very seriously: "I didn't agree to teach at Yan University, where did I come from?" This ......"
Zhang Zhicheng has already looked around, probably looking for the right way to open this world.
"Take Ximen Road loosely, don't get distracted when driving......"
Xia Ming persuaded Zhang Zhicheng to leave the scene, but he couldn't let Tang Xiaotang know that he was making extra money.
"A friend, who came to see me, misunderstood our relationship."
Turning back, Xia Ming said perfunctorily, Tang Xiaotang was suspicious at first: "Friend? A round older than your friends? What misunderstanding? β
Then she noticed what the two were wearing, frowned and asked, "Why are you wearing this?" β
Xia Ming wanted to say that this was a coincidence, but he was also believed, so he simply pretended to be stupid: "Why can't you wear it?" β
Tang Xiaotang smiled faintly, pointed to the Big-bang mark on Xia Ming's chest and said, "For you, this is just the American drama "The Big Bang Theory", just fashion. For me, it's fashion to pay homage to scientists, to my school. I didn't say you can't wear it, but if you wear it, you have to bear my discrimination, and then such discrimination will make you feel inferior, so why bother? β
Fortunately, Xia Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't hear anything like "self-inflicted".
Thinking about what she said about "my school", Xia Ming secretly screamed ouch, isn't it!
"The Big Bang Theory" is set in the background of California Polytechnic University, and Xie Er stays in this university. Xie Er has an IQ of 187, got a doctorate at the age of 15, has a master's degree and two doctorates before the age of 24, and became a professor.
In such a comparison, Tang Xiaotang is really a figure of Xie Er's level, in front of such a genius, ordinary people can't be discriminated against, shouldn't I feel honored?
If it was Xia Ming more than half a month ago, he would have already admitted it.
It's different now, not only is he in a state of supersonic devouring knowledge, but Zhang Zhicheng also has the confidence to apply what he has learned. It is indeed an honor, but Xia Ming feels that he is no longer a little person who is not worth mentioning.
Xia Ming smiled and said, "Uncle Tang, don't you think that a scientist like you is lowering your own grade by discriminating against this and that all the time?" Besides, in Yanda, there are few people with higher education than you, and in Yandu, there are few people who are better than your school, and they are discriminated against when they see people, which is very tiring. β
Tang Xiaotang shook his head: "Are you taking your own heart to save my heart......"
She still looks like an elder, probably because of this mentality, she doesn't seem to care about the embarrassing things in the cafeteria before.
"When I say discrimination, I mean an objective expression without emotion. People say who is seen as an ant, is this discrimination against ants? Of course not, it's just that there is an absolute power gap between people and ants, and people will laugh at ants because of this gap? β
This call made Xia Ming's brain turn around, and he turned around a few times before he found a loophole: "Uncle Shi, you are playing sophistry." You say that discrimination does not carry emotions, but the "discrimination" of "discriminating against ants" is also emotional. β
"Yo ......" Tang Xiaotang said as if a teacher was praising the student, "Yes, I found a hidden variable." β
She sighed: "It's more accurate to say it in English, but I don't like to speak English outside of work." Let's put it this way, I'm discriminating against you, not insulting you. But you feel insulted because you yourself set 'discrimination' as an emotional expression. β
This is still sophistry, uncle!
Then she said, "It's like sexism, how did you feel when you first found out what kind of education I had, you think about it for yourself." β
Xia Ming is speechless, how do you feel? Unbelievable, isn't Zhang Zhicheng's performance just now the best example? This is discrimination against women, how can a woman surpass a man intellectually?
"I don't think it's insulting to be insulted by this kind of discrimination", Tang Xiaotang said lightly: "Because science shows that women are indeed weaker than men in rational thinking." β
If it's too rational, it's not human, it's not cute......
Xia Ming sighed with emotion, but still refused to admit defeat: "Okay, I accept your discrimination, uncle." At the same time, based on reason, Uncle Shi, you can only accept my discrimination. β
"I refuse", Tang Xiaotang's chin raised more than ten degrees: "This conclusion is only statistically significant, as an example, I am completely different." β
Xia Ming's heartbeat was several beats faster, and Tang Xiaotang at this moment was like a real girl, not a scientific genius who made people ashamed of themselves.
