After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 251 Boating with Xia Xiyao, Chinese Programming Gains Fame

On the morning of the 26th, after waking up, Xu Lin went to the gym in the house to work out for an hour.

After taking a shower, I went back to the duplex.

Compared to the big house where there were two girls, Xu Lin still felt it was better to be alone in the duplex.

He's starting to like this feeling.

Xu Lin opened GitHub.

After more than a day of fermentation, it was shown that his programming language had been downloaded by more than 28,000 people.

Ok?
How come there are so many more people in just over a day?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. When a huge achievement emerges, as long as a certain number of people know about it in the early stages, it is easy for the word to spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

Is this a huge achievement for Xu Lin?
Even if Xu Lin were to be modest, he could say that this was a tremendous achievement.

After all these years, who has developed Chinese programming that can break free from the framework of English programming?
Only he, Xu Lin, was there.

Perhaps Chinese-language programming is also being developed at the national level.

But as long as it's not announced, Xu Lin is the first person to do so.

"With over 20,000 downloads, that should be quite newsworthy, right?"

This is about technology, not internet celebrity news, not entertainment news, and not random information.

This is different.

Just like those so-called masters of the Republic of China era, this writer, that poet, that philosopher, in the end, not a single one of them actually did mathematics or physics. You can boast about anything in the humanities, you can boast however you want, and you can talk a good game. To an outsider, it seems to make sense. But when it comes to things like mathematics and physics, which are related to intelligence, you can't boast no matter what.

Xu Lin said this is technology, which is high-level information on the internet and has little to do with ordinary netizens, not even a little bit. They wouldn't understand it anyway.

So Xu Lin asked the Moon Goddess to search for relevant information, and she actually found quite a lot of related information, including Weibo posts, short videos, purely marketing news, and analyses from tech experts.

In fact, Xu Lin's programming language has already caused a small sensation in the programming community. Now, more than a day later, many programmers and developers are already studying this new programming language.

A completely new programming language that claims to be entirely free from the English programming framework.

Hou Yi!

The Chinese programming language that countless Chinese people have been dreaming of suddenly appeared.

Anyone who understands programming would find it hard to stay calm, especially the experts.

"Will it reach a million downloads if we let it circulate for another two days?"

Xu Lin thought about it and felt it was possible, because more than 20,000 people had already downloaded it. With this basic user base, it would be easy for the number to exceed one million.

In theory, this will create a sensational news story that will attract the attention of countless people.

"continue working!"

Xu Lin closed GitHub, opened a gaming laptop, and began developing a second Chinese programming language.

Different programming languages ​​serve different purposes. For example, Python is mainly used for data analysis, scientific computing, and artificial intelligence, while Java is mainly used for enterprise application development and Android application development. In addition, programming languages ​​such as C++ and JavaScript also have different application areas.

Xu Lin's Hou Yi is similar to Java, mainly used for application and system development.

Today, Xu Lin plans to develop a programming language similar to PHP in English programming, for web backend development and website building. Simply put, this is the programming language used to develop a website, although not all websites use this programming language.

Xu Lin plans to develop various programming languages ​​first, and then start developing new artificial intelligence, or rather, to reconstruct this artificial intelligence based on the existing Moon God.

"Oh right, let's set an alarm first."

Xu Lin had promised Xia Xiyao last night that he would take her out tonight, so he set an alarm for 6 p.m.

Xu Lin used both hands, one computer in each hand, and began typing new code at lightning speed.

He started working at 10 a.m., only going to the toilet twice, for less than ten minutes each time. The rest of the time he was constantly typing code.

The alarm clock rang at six o'clock in the afternoon.

Xu Lin then stopped.

Xu Lin tidied up quickly and then went downstairs.

"Have you come downstairs yet?"

He sent a message to Xia Xiyao.

"I'll be waiting for you downstairs!"

The other party responded instantly.

"How long have we been waiting?"

When Xu Lin arrived at the residential area, he saw Xia Xiyao swinging on a swing not far away. There was a swing there, which was usually used by children.

"I just arrived!"

"You're lying, aren't you? Want a spanking?"

"Actually, it was twenty-three minutes," Xia Xiyao finally said.

"Didn't I tell you to come down at six o'clock?"

"Xu Lin, do I look good today?"

Xia Xiyao changed the subject and twirled around in front of Xu Lin.

Her long hair danced with her movements, and a fragrant breeze wafted through the air.

She was wearing a school uniform today. At eighteen, she was youthful and energetic, with a great figure, especially her long, eye-catching legs.

At the same time, she had a plaid shirt tied around her waist, and her shoes were a pair of cool black platform shoes.

Overall, Xia Xiyao's outfit today was still very eye-catching, especially suited to her style.

cool.

"She looks pretty good, kind of like a cool girl."

"Humph!"

Xia Xiyao was naturally very happy with Xu Lin's praise.

"Xu Lin, where shall we go?" She held Xu Lin's left hand.

"Where do you want to go? You decide today."

Xu Lin: "Think about where to go. Let's go to the underground parking garage first."

"Ah."

Xu Lin drove a Lamborghini today.

After leaving the residential area, Xu Lin went to the nearest gas station to fill up his tank.

"Where to go? Haven't you decided yet?"

Actually, I want to go boating.

"boating?"

"Is it okay?" Xia Xiyao blinked her beautiful eyes as she looked at the other person.

Going boating at night sounds like a lot of fun.

Xu Lin: "How about we go grab a bite to eat first, and then go boating?"

"Okay, let's eat first! Xu Lin, this time it's my treat, let's go eat Western food!"

"I'll pay for it. How much do you have?"

Xia Xiyao's monthly living expenses are only about 4,500 yuan. After all, she has a father, a biological mother, and a stepmother. Sometimes she receives three different allowances, 1,500 yuan each, which is 4,500 yuan. And sometimes her stepmother gives her a little more.

Xia Xiyao's stepmother is a very nice person. Sometimes she gives Xia Xiyao three thousand a month, saying that girls shouldn't be raised in poverty, especially since she's so beautiful, otherwise something bad will happen. There are countless greasy middle-aged and elderly people outside eyeing these pretty young girls.

In Jiangdu, some stunningly beautiful women, even top-tier beauties, are kept by wealthy men, living in luxury apartments costing tens of thousands of yuan a month, with monthly living expenses starting at 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. The most successful ones can earn several million yuan a year. Money can easily destroy an innocent girl. As long as a girl is pretty, she will be targeted by countless men from her early teens. There are plenty of men willing to be kept for 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month. Of course, the most beautiful ones, with good looks, figure, and height, are mostly wealthy tycoons.

Don't underestimate the allure of money; people's moral standards aren't as high as you might imagine.

Xu Lin: "Let's eat Western food. I'll take you to try a two-Michelin-starred Western restaurant."

"A two-Michelin-starred restaurant, is it very expensive?"

Two Michelin stars is actually quite high, because three stars is the highest level.

Two stars: Worth a special trip.

In the catering industry, Michelin is a high-end international synonym.

"It's just so-so. For ordinary people, a meal at these restaurants costs several thousand yuan, which is half a month's or even a month's salary. But if you have a little money, a Michelin-starred restaurant is just like buying an ice cream on the street. You can go in wearing flip-flops and no one will say anything."

"Xu Lin, let's go have a big meal!"

The restaurant Xu Lin and his friends went to was an Italian restaurant with two Michelin stars, ranked among the top 50 in Asia, but it wasn't the one they had eaten at with Chi Linyue before.

The environment inside is just so-so; any restaurant that charges a certain price will have a bad environment.

Because it's a foreign restaurant, there are quite a few foreign waiters.

This restaurant is quite sophisticated.

Before the formal meal, there are appetizers such as salmon and cheese, tuna, and pastries.

Of course, the name is very long and sounds impressive.

However, now that Xu Lin is rich, these fancy-sounding snacks are just so-so to him.

Furthermore, the portions are very small. For example, the shortbread is about the size of his big toe, and there are only two of them.

Oh well, it's just a snack after all.

Then came the appetizers. Xia Xiyao ordered tuna, squid ink pasta, New Zealand langoustines, spaghetti, and more.

The name is also significant, the preparation is exquisite, and many of the added ingredients are ones that Xu Lin has never heard of before.

But the portion size was still very small.

Then there are desserts, after-dinner snacks, and so on.

Xu Lin ended up spending over eight thousand yuan on this meal.

Generally speaking, the average cost per person here is 2,000 yuan, but because the portions are small and Xu Lin has a large appetite, he can only order more.

"what about the taste?"

Xu Lin asked Xia Xiyao.

"I think it's pretty good, but it feels really expensive."

"As long as I eat comfortably, that's fine."

A few thousand is nothing to Xu Lin. He earns tens of thousands of yuan a day just by sitting in his bank account. He can't possibly spend it all just on food.

"Let's stroll around for a while, then go boating."

"oh oh."

Xia Xiyao walked with Xu Lin's arm around her. Xu Lin was spending time with her alone tonight, which made her very happy.

After dinner, Xu Lin took a walk for half an hour and then, feeling that it was about time, drove off to the boating area.

There are boating areas in Jiangdu at night, located on a lake, similar to a water park.

One hundred yuan per person can row a small boat for two hours.

Xu paid several hundred yuan, and they planned to stay here for a few hours.

After paying, the two boarded the boat.

This boat is small, just the right size for two people.

"Xu Lin, the water is cool, try it."

Xia Xiyao reached out and splashed her hand in the lake water, the cool water touching her small hand.

Xu Lin also reached out and touched the lake water. "It is indeed quite cold."

It was already quite hot in late June, but it was evening now, and we were on the lake, so the temperature wasn't as high as it would be in the city. Instead, it was cool, and there was a gentle evening breeze on the lake. The environment was so pleasant that it was easy to relax.

"Xu Lin, let's go boating!"

Xia Xiyao gripped the oars on both sides and began to row with difficulty. Being a girl, she didn't seem to have much strength.

At this moment, Xu Lin also grabbed the two oars. He was strong, and after a few strokes, the boat swam three or four meters away.

"Xu Lin, you are so awesome!"

"It's just rowing a boat, all you need is strength. Let's go to the center of the lake and take a look."

"Uh-huh!"

The lake was quite large. The two arrived at the center of the lake, or more accurately, the enclosed center, because the lake was actually very big.

The lake leading out is blocked by red lines to prevent people from going out, otherwise rescue would be difficult in case of an accident.

But Xu Lin and the others still went out.

Because the enclosed lake was very small, it became boring after a while.

Xu Lin then suggested rowing the boat out.

"Is nothing going to happen?"

Xia Xiyao was uneasy.

Xu Lin: "I'm here, stay calm."

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say, let's row out!"

Xia Xiyao was in high spirits; she enjoyed being led by Xu Lin.

Soon, the two rowed their boat beyond the red line and out into a larger lake.

There weren't many people boating at this time of night. The two went out, and although someone noticed them, it wasn't a staff member from the area.

In this way, Xu Lin and his group went more than 300 meters.

It was pitch black at night, and Xia Xiyao was still a little flustered, but seeing the calm Xu Lin in front of her, she immediately calmed down.
She thought Xu Lin was very brave.

What kind of personality do girls like in men?
This is what it means for a guy to be bold; boldness is a form of masculine charm.

In any case, he won't be a timid or cowardly guy; such a guy doesn't even have basic masculine charm.

"Let's stop here for a bit, are you tired?"

Xu Lin asked her.

"Kind of."

Xia Xiyao put down the oars and stretched her hands, especially her arms, because rowing was really tiring.

"Xu Lin, are you tired?"

"Not tired."

"you are great!"

Xu Lin smiled and said nothing.

"Xu Lin, look at the sky!"

Just then, Xia Xiyao pointed to the night sky.

Xu Lin looked up.

There were moon and stars in the sky. Although the stars weren't exactly countless, the moon was quite bright.

Such a sky instinctively brings a sense of peace to one's heart.

Xu Lin simply lay down, put his hands behind his head, and rested his head on the bow of the boat.

"Xu Lin, I want to lie down too!"

Seeing this, Xia Xiyao also lay down, nestled in Xu Lin's arms. Both of them were staring at the night sky.

"Xu Lin, are you looking at the night sky?"

"correct."

"Xu Lin, have you ever counted the stars?"

"Counting stars?"

"Ah."

"I think I counted them, let me think... I should have counted them."

Xu Lin had forgotten many things from his childhood. He remembered that when he was a child, he seemed to have asked Ms. Ren which star was the Big Dipper, and Ms. Ren pointed it out to him. Xu Lin also remembered that when he was very young, there were many, many more stars in the sky than he could see here, perhaps because this was a big city.

“When I was a child, I used to count stars all the time. Back then, I lived in my rural hometown. You know, there were so many stars in the sky, so many that the city couldn’t compare. The stars were twinkling in the sky, and I couldn’t count them all. After a while, I would forget which one I was counting.”

"is it?"

"Correct!"

The two started talking about counting stars.

Both of them were born in 07, which means they are considered to be born after 05. They wouldn't have much of a feeling about counting stars or things they played with as children.

Xu Lin's childhood was filled with all sorts of fun things, such as toy cars, toy guns, handheld game consoles, and so on.

However, these things are just so-so. Only those born around 00, or even earlier, who didn't have those toys, cell phones, or the internet when they were young, could get closer to nature and had so many happy things.

But each generation has its own childhood, so it's hard to say which is better; people are prone to preconceived notions.

"Xu Lin, when are we going back?"

"You want to go back?"

"No, I want to stay with you a little longer."

"Then let's not go back, let's just sleep here."

"Ah, is that okay?"

"Why not?"

Xu Lin didn't mind at all. "Besides, we'll sleep on the boat, on the lake. Let's just consider it an interesting life experience. Don't you think that's interesting?"

"This sounds interesting, so let's sleep here tonight!"

Xia Xiyao shifted her position to make herself more comfortable, and then rested her head on Xu Lin's shoulder.

"Xu Lin, have you ever heard of a poem?"

"What poem?"

"That's right, let me read it: The west wind ages the waves of Dongting Lake, and overnight the Xiang River Goddess's hair turns white. Drunk, I don't know if the sky is in the water, and my boat is full of dreams that press down on the Milky Way."

Xia Xiyao read it aloud with great expression. After she finished, she said, "I think this poem is particularly evocative."

Xu Lin laughed and said, "This poem is indeed very evocative, but it expresses the feeling of being drunk, feeling lonely and isolated. It's a bit out of place for us, isn't it?"

Xia Xiyao: "Anyway, it has a certain artistic conception. Look, doesn't the environment here have a kind of ethereal, romantic, and otherworldly feel?"

"Hmm, I guess so."

Xu Lin looked around and then at the sky. He suddenly remembered that in ancient Chinese poetry, people boating on a lake was a very elegant thing, and there were all kinds of ancient poems that described it.

The two chatted for a long time.

Later, before they knew it, the night had grown even deeper.

"Brother, I'm sleepy..."

Xia Xiyao yawned, turned to the side, closed her eyes, and pressed her small face against Xu Lin's cheek, almost touching it.

"Go to sleep if you're tired."

Xu Lin patted her little head.

"Um……"

Xia Xiyao responded and covered their stomachs with her shirt. She quickly fell asleep, looking sweet and adorable.

Xu Lin, holding Xia Xiyao in one arm, also fell asleep a few minutes later.

The two slept on the lake all night without being disturbed.

As for bad guys, this is a lake, not the main street, or a grove of trees or bushes.

What bad people could there be?
Nothing happened that night, and the two slept soundly, the night passing peacefully.

The two did not wake up until after 5 a.m. the next morning.

In late June, around 5 a.m., although the sun had not yet risen, it was already bright.

"Xu Lin, it's dawn."

Xia Xiyao sat up, stretched, and rubbed her eyes. She had slept very soundly that night, feeling more at ease than ever before. She even had a beautiful dream about being with Xu Lin last night, and she was still feeling a little unsatisfied.

Xu Lin: "Let's row back."

"Okay, let's row back together!"

Xia Xiyao is full of energy.

The two quickly rowed back and docked at the pier. At this time, there was no one else there except the two of them.

Xu Lin and Xia Xiyao had a simple breakfast outside.

Xu Lin then escorted her back to school, while he returned to his duplex apartment.

Another day has passed, how's the download progress for Hou Yi?

Xu Lin was a little curious, so he turned on his computer as soon as he got home.

At this moment, Xu Lin discovered that Hou Yi's download count had reached 190,000, an increase of six or seven times compared to yesterday's 20,000.

"Maybe tomorrow, or at most the day after, it will break a million."

As word spreads, downloads exploded, easily surpassing a million downloads.

Xu Lin remained calm; this was just the beginning.

Because he is going to do something very great.

Imagine that an unparalleled artificial intelligence is created in his hands.

So, what will his historical status be?

Perhaps, his value alone is equivalent to that of many heavily armed combined arms brigades.

A single heavily armed combined arms brigade is enough to sweep through many small and medium-sized countries.

Don't underestimate the power of technology!
In the modern world, the importance of science and technology to a country is self-evident, and artificial intelligence happens to be one of the main driving forces of the technological revolution of this era.

Thinking of this, Xu Lin felt his blood boil and was full of energy.

For the next four days, Xu Lin disappeared from the face of the earth again for Ning Yuhan and the others.

For the past four days, Xu Lin has been working day and night, neglecting sleep and meals, to complete his second programming language.

On the afternoon of the 30th, Xu Lin completed the programming language and confirmed that it was correct.

Xu Lin has officially uploaded the file to the GitHub repository.

Named: Chang'e.

Introduction: This is my second programming language, which can be used to build websites. I've also demonstrated how to build a website using Chang'e. Everyone is welcome to learn.

Also.

Where has Hou Yi's download count gone in four days?
Xu Lin took a look.

Downloads: 3.36 million!

Xu Lin summoned the Moon Goddess.

Command: Search to see how far Hou Yi's fermentation has progressed?

The appearance of Hou Yi has caused a huge sensation in the domestic developer community and has become a phenomenon on the Chinese Internet. Currently, related information is at the top of Weibo's trending topics and remains so, and it is also being widely disseminated on multiple short video platforms.

Xu Lin opened Weibo and saw that it was indeed the case.

The number one trending topic: "Chinese Programming Hou Yi"!
