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

Chapter 278 Stargazing with Yu Xinyan, Young Master Xu Shakes the Programming World

On the 29rd.

It's already the end of the month.

The weather is starting to change.

In late October in Jiangdu, the daytime temperature rarely exceeds 25 or 26 degrees Celsius.

Yu Xinyan checked the weather forecast and thought that the weather would start to get colder next week. She planned to go out with Xu Lin today to buy him some clothes.

It was Friday, but Yu Xinyan didn't have to go to class, so she took a car over in the morning.

The university has facial recognition for entering and exiting the campus, but Yu Xinyan was able to enter simply by telling the security guard.

After all, she looked like a well-behaved girl and a student. When asked, she turned out to be a top student at Jiangdu University, so the security guard quickly let her in.

"Xu Lin, I've come to your school!"

Yu Xinyan sent him a message, but several minutes passed without Xu Lin replying.

Actually, Xu Lin is still sleeping.

For the past week or so, Xu Lin has been in seclusion, working day and night to complete the Moon Goddess System 2.0. He only finished it last night and uploaded it to his personal website. After such a long period of seclusion, Xu Lin always gets a good long sleep.

So Xu Lin hasn't woken up yet.

Yu Xinyan sent a few more messages, but Xu Lin still didn't reply after a few minutes.

She figured Xu Lin was probably busy with something, and besides, he would reply to her messages eventually; it was just a matter of time.

Bored, Yu Xinyan wandered around the campus of the University of Finance and Economics.

This is her second time visiting the University of Finance and Economics. About a year ago, she came here and met Ning Yuhan and Rong Xiyan.

The former is Xu Lin's girlfriend, and the latter is now Xu Lin's family.

While strolling around the campus, it happened to be break time, and there were many students walking around outside.

Yu Xinyan stands out from the crowd with a beauty that makes everything else pale in comparison.

She is a very dazzling girl, not only because of her face and figure, but also because of her temperament. Men and women passing by can't help but take a second look at her.

In reality, no one would be so bored as to create a so-called "campus beauties" list, but people do know which girl is the most beautiful at the university.

The prettiest ones should be Ning Yuhan, a junior, and Rong Xiyan, a sophomore.

There weren't any particularly stunning girls in the senior year or the freshman year.

And who is this person?
People felt that Yu Xinyan was too dazzling.

A bold, tall, and handsome boy approached her to chat, but Yu Xinyan ignored him.

Yu Xinyan said, "I have a boyfriend."

The other person said, "It's okay, let's just get to know each other and become friends. I have no ill intentions."

Yu Xinyan: "Get lost."

When you're young, you shouldn't meet people who are too amazing, otherwise you'll find everyone else terrible.

Yu Xinyan already had a soft spot for Xu Lin, let alone now, since Xu Lin is already very outstanding.

After wandering around the campus for twenty minutes, Yu Xinyan saw the library.

I checked my phone again and found that Xu Lin hadn't replied yet.

Yu Xinyan then went into the library.

third floor.

She likes the window seat.

Yu Xinyan took a book off the bookshelf and started reading.

Another ten minutes or so passed.

Ning Yuhan, who had gone to the cafeteria after class, came to the library, specifically to the third floor.

Similarly, she also likes a window seat so that she can relax by looking at the trees outside when she rests.

Then, Ning Yuhan saw Yu Xinyan.

When Ning Yuhan saw Yu Xinyan again after a year, she hadn't forgotten this girl.

"Hello."

Ning Yuhan walked to the other person's side and greeted them, "May I sit here?"

"Ah, sure, long time no see."

Yu Xinyan was stunned for a moment.

"Well, that's a coincidence."

"I came to see Xu Lin, but I haven't heard from him." After a long while, Yu Xinyan finally spoke.

“He’s been busy lately and hasn’t been to school for over a week. He’s been staying at home. When he’s busy, he basically doesn’t check his messages.”

"Oh, I see."

"The weather is going to get cooler next week, and I want to buy him some clothes. But I just want to buy him clothes, nothing more. I've known him for seven or eight years, and I came here to see him."

Yu Xinyan looked at the other person, trying to gauge their reaction.

"Oh, it's nothing." Ning Yuhan didn't seem to react much.

Xu Lin slept until after 3 p.m.

For a healthy person, sleeping until this late brings an incredibly relaxing and comfortable feeling.

Xu Lin picked up the digital clock from the bedside table and looked at it.

3 points.

Then he picked up his phone and finally saw Yu Xinyan's message.

"Sorry, I just woke up."

At this time in the afternoon, Yu Xinyan was still in the library, but she went to the cafeteria for lunch with Ning Yuhan, who treated her.

Ning Yuhan had already gone to class in the afternoon; she had a full afternoon of classes.

"Sleepyhead, sleeping for so long?"

"I recently finished my seclusion and have been sleeping until now."

Xu Lin: "I'll come pick you up at four o'clock. I'll take a shower first."

"Then I wait for you."

Xu Lin got up, washed up, and drove off in his four-wheeled vehicle a dozen minutes later.

A few minutes before they were to leave the school, Xu Lin asked Yu Xinyan to wait for him at the school gate.

So when Xu Lin arrived at the school gate, Yu Xinyan was already standing there.

"Get in the car."

"I'm coming!"

Yu Xinyan was very excited and leaned over to kiss Xu Lin after getting into the car.

"Fasten your seatbelts."

"Okay, all tied up!"

Yu Xinyan said excitedly, "It's going to get cold next week, around ten degrees Celsius, and the week after that, it'll be single digits. Let's go buy some clothes!"

"It's going to get cold so quickly?"

"Idiot, it'll be November the day after tomorrow! I was already wearing thick clothes in mid-November last year!"

"I forgot. Let's go buy clothes then, but let's grab some food first. Did you have lunch?"

"Yes, in your school cafeteria."

"What to eat?"

Yu Xinyan then told him about the food she had for lunch.

As for her relationship with Ning Yuhan, Yu Xinyan didn't say anything.

She had actually added Ning Yuhan as a friend.

The two found a place to have a meal.

Yu Xinyan said she hadn't seen him for more than twenty days, so she was treating him to this meal.

We ate at a regular restaurant, and the meal for two cost a little over 200 yuan, which wasn't too expensive.

Yu Xinyan also mentioned that she received the national scholarship in her freshman year.

Speaking of which, Yu Xinyan, Ning Yuhan, and Rong Xiyan, who are around Xu Lin, have all received national scholarships.

All three girls are excellent, at least in terms of their academic performance.

Top universities offer national scholarships to over 100 to 300 students each year. There are many spots available, but it's not easy to get one. There are so many outstanding students, all of whom are top performers in their respective high schools. Becoming one of the very few among these top performers is naturally very difficult.

Like Ning Yuhan, she ranked first in her major; she has always worked very hard.

If it weren't for Xu Lin holding the line, Rong Xiyan would have been number one in GPA.

Yu Xinyan did not become the top student in terms of GPA; she was only third in GPA last semester, with someone ahead of her.

Jiangdu University is different from the University of Finance and Economics. At the University of Finance and Economics, your score can only get you to this university or to a university of the same level.

But Jiangdu University is full of the best students in the country every year. For example, if they score 150 in math, it's because the maximum score is 150, not because 150 is their limit.

Therefore, Yu Xinyan is usually very busy because there are so many outstanding people around her, and she has to work hard to catch up so that she doesn't fall behind.

After having their meal, Yu Xinyan and the other person left the restaurant.

This is a shopping mall, and you can buy clothes just downstairs. Many well-known brands are available here.

However, the clothes they bought weren't from big brands. Yu Xinyan had money in her pocket, but Xu Lin wouldn't let her squander it.

Just a token gesture will suffice.

Yu Xinyan bought Xu Lin two trendy jackets, and also bought him three short-sleeved shirts and three pairs of trousers.

Xu Lin always wears short sleeves in winter and never wears long sleeves; Yu Xinyan knows him all too well.

The rest of the group carried large and small bags.

Luckily, Xu Lin drove four wheels today; otherwise, where would he have put so much stuff if he had only driven two?
After buying the clothes, it was already 7 p.m.

It was around November, and it was already dark at this time.

Moreover, the temperature difference between day and night is quite significant, and it gets rather cool at night.

Yu Xinyan wore a light jacket, while Xu Lin was dressed in short sleeves.

"Is it cold?"

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Yu Xinyan couldn't help but ask Xu Lin.

"cool!"

"Really?"

"If you don't believe me, look at my arms. If it were cold, I would definitely get goosebumps, but do you see me with goosebumps?"

"Maybe not."

Yu Xinyan leaned closer to Xu Lin's arm and examined it carefully, and sure enough, she didn't see any goosebumps.

Xu Lin: "So it's fine for me to wear short sleeves. The weather isn't hot enough for me to wear two layers. By the way, what time are you going back tonight?"

Yu Xinyan shook her head.

"I'm not going back tonight, and it's so early now. It's not easy for me to see you."

Yu Xinyan held Xu Lin's hand, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"Where would you like to go for fun?"

Xu Lin asked her, and she shook her head, "I don't know."

"Let me think of a fun place to take you."

"What fun places are there?" Yu Xinyan's beautiful eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Isn't that what I'm thinking about?"

Xu Lin thought for a while, and when he looked up at the sky unintentionally, he saw stars in the sky.

However, since this is the city center, the stars are scattered here and there.

"Why don't we find a place to look at the stars?"

"Oh, let's go see the stars!"

Yu Xinyan got excited as soon as she heard that she was going to see the stars.

"Xu Lin, where are we going? Up in the mountains? I heard that we should go hiking in the suburbs. The air quality is better there, and we can see lots of stars at night."

"Climbing mountains is no fun; it's much more interesting to look at the stars on the water."

"On the water?"

"Come with me and you'll see, it's definitely more fun than climbing mountains!"

Xu Lin was quick-witted and knew that going out with girls involved things like shopping and watching movies—all sorts of random, tacky things.

Moreover, there's absolutely no sense of participation.

Girls want a little romance.

Does romance cost money?
That small amount of money was definitely spent.

Xu Lin went to the lake where he and Xia Xiyao had visited last time.

boating.

After paying the fee, Xu Lin and his companion boarded one of the small boats.

There are four oars in total, which are tied to the boat. You just grab them and start rowing.

Xu Lin was in front, and Yu Xinyan was behind.

"See that red line ahead? Let's draw it."

"Can we go outside? It seems like they won't let us out."

"Just sneak out."

"Then let's sneak out!"

Yu Xinyan also had a rebellious streak, and she became excited when she heard that she was going to sneak out.

Ten minutes later.

"Is rowing tiring?"

Xu Lin turned around and glanced at her.

"It's not tiring, and it's quite interesting."

"Then look at the sky."

Xu Lin pointed to the sky.

The latter looked up and, sure enough, saw many stars.

Moreover, today is the tenth day of the lunar month, and in a few days it will be a full moon, so the moon will be quite bright.

The sky is clear again.

Stargazing becomes quite interesting at this time, although it can't compare to the rural areas with their excellent air quality.

"Wow, Xu Lin, so many stars!"

Yu Xinyan exclaimed in surprise.

"So, as I said before, we're going to find a place to look at the stars."

"OK."

Soon, the two reached the outside of the red line and then paddled several hundred meters further.

Here, no one will disturb them at night.

Xu Lin stopped when he reached this lake.

Then, Xu Lin moved over and lay down.

"Lie in my arms."

Xu Lin opened his arms.

Without saying a word, Yu Xinyan lay down in Xu Lin's arms.

"Look, we're lying in this little boat looking at the stars. The boat is on the lake, and no one is bothering us. The world is quiet and all is still. Doesn't that feel great?"

"Yes, it feels very romantic!"

"It might not be romantic at all."

Xu Lin said, "But I have a feeling it might be there. How about we sleep here tonight?"

"Sleeping here?"

"Yes, I'll sleep here."

"Then let's sleep here!"

Yu Xinyan was eager to try: "I've never tried this before."

"Won't I show you how it's done now?"

He paused, then held Yu Xinyan and helped her lie down properly. "Consider this National Day compensation for you. I didn't spend enough time with you while your aunt was here."

Haw!

Yu Xinyan didn't say anything, but turned around and kissed Xu Lin on the cheek.

Then I continued to look up at the sky.

This feeling on the lake was unprecedented for Yu Xinyan, and when she moved her body, the small boat gently rocked, like a baby's cradle. How to describe this feeling?
In short, it's just rocking back and forth.

"Xu Lin, I want to count the stars."

"Let's count."

"Let's count together. Look at the sky. Let's designate an area. I'll count the right side, and you count the left side, okay?"

"it is good."

There aren't actually that many stars; in big cities, it's no wonder there aren't many stars.

After all, it's a remote mountain village, a place without urbanization or industrialization, where there are many stars.

And as many people born in the 80s or even the 70s have said, when they were children, the stars and moon were so bright that they didn't need to light a fire to walk outside.

ignition?

In the past, even having a flashlight was a luxury; at night, people would use a bamboo handle or a kerosene lamp for lighting.

You should know that more than a decade ago, rural areas still experienced frequent power outages. Where are there power outages now?

Decades ago, when industrialization and urbanization had just begun, air pollution was not serious, and the stars and moon were naturally very bright.

Then, the two looked at the night sky, divided it into two halves, one for each of them, and counted the stars.

There aren't many stars in the sky.

Xu Lin only glanced at the marked sky and knew how many stars there were.

His brain is so powerful, like a high-performance computer, that counting stars is not difficult for him at all.

But Xu Lin still waited for Yu Xinyan.

Twenty minutes later, Yu Xinyan finished counting.

She counted them one by one, and being of normal intelligence, she wouldn't forget them while counting. "Xu Lin, I'm done counting. There are 3423 stars on the right. How about you?"

"I have more here, 3695."

"There are less than 10,000 stars. That's so few. Do you remember one night when we were in junior high school? The sky was full of stars, so many that you couldn't count them all."

"Big cities are like this. If you have the chance, I'll take you to a place with lots of stars to see them."

"Where are you going?"

"Hmm... If we have the chance in the future, let's go to Mauna Kea in Hawaii to see the stars. It's the highest peak in Hawaii and a world-class spot for stargazing. There, we can see the most beautiful stars in the world!"

"Let's pinky swear, we'll go together next time!"

Yu Xinyan was in high spirits and extended her left little finger. Xu Linwo extended his little finger and they made a pinky promise.

Yu Xinyan: "It's a deal!"

Xu Lin: "It's a deal!"

The two lay on the small boat and talked for a very long time without even checking the time.

Until Yu Xinyan said, "Xu Lin, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep."

"Okay, let's go to sleep."

Before long, Yu Xinyan fell asleep, nestled in Xu Lin's arms, and Xu Lin also fell asleep shortly afterward.

There was no rain tonight, and of course, no one disturbed them.

It's a bit chilly, but it's alright.

Silent all night.

The next day soon arrived.

Yu Xinyan woke up first.

"Xu Lin, wake up!"

"what time is it?"

"Seven o'clock, it's dawn!"

"Let's go back and have breakfast."

"Uh-huh."

More than half an hour later, the two returned to the shore and then drove away.

The two had breakfast in the morning, and then spent most of the day playing in other places.

In the afternoon, after having a big meal, Xu Lin finally took her to the main gate of Jiangdu University.

"That's it."

"Xu Lin, it'll be time to meet again."

After a whole day of fun, Yu Xinyan was still reluctant to leave. She kissed Xu Lin twice on the cheek before saying goodbye and getting out of the car.

"Well, see you next time."

Remember to message me when you get home.

"Ok."

Xu Lin drove away first as usual, and Yu Xinyan watched until he was out of sight before she composed herself and returned to school.

Xu Lin went straight home.

After getting off the bus, Xu Lin took out his phone and called Yu Xinyan to let her know he was safe.

Then Xu Lin opened Chi Linyue's messages.

Today is Saturday, and Chi Linyue is at home.

She sent Xu Lin a selfie.

It turned out she had bought a new set of pajamas, a black, sheer nightgown that was very alluring, subtly revealing, and very sensual.

Moreover, Chi Linyue would strike alluring poses, exuding charm and allure. Xu Lin found it hard to describe the feeling; in short, she could make any normal man's blood boil.

Xu Lin felt that she was getting better and better, which made him very excited.

"Want to come over? Your sister is waiting for you at home."

The older sister then made a beckoning gesture, asking him to come over.

Xu Lin: "Let's talk about it in a few days. I'm busy tonight."

Chi Linyue: "Are you going abroad in a few days?"

"Correct."

"Then I'll look forward to it."

Chi Linyue: "Your system is trending on social media. Look, everyone online is saying you're amazing."

"Let me check later, I'll stop talking now."

"Ok."

Chi Linyue was quite disappointed, thinking that Xu Lin would come over tonight.

However, considering that Xu Lin was busy, she didn't say anything.

Humans are a type of animal, a higher animal, but no matter how advanced humans are, they cannot escape the established objective fact that humans are still animals.

All animals possess an innate tendency to admire strength in their genes; the only difference is the intensity of this tendency.

Chi Linyue has this quality in her heart; she admires Xu Lin, thinks he is very strong, and thinks he is very outstanding.

Xu Lin is also constantly striving to become better.

He knew that personal growth should always be the top priority.

In the face of self-growth, no human emotion matters, and none of them are that important.

Therefore, some people are willing to die for love.

Xu Lin will never.

There's a well-known saying: If you blossom, butterflies will come.

Many people know this, but for many others it's just empty talk. It's like you know that you can get a good physique by working out, but you can't even stick to going for a run, let alone working out.

Xu Lin is different.

He will always uphold one ultimate life philosophy: self-growth is paramount.

For men, career is of course more important.

After returning home, Xu Lin stir-fried a bowl of pickled green beans.

However, of the three bottles of pickled cowpeas that Ning Yuhan brought from home, only one bottle remained.

Recently, Ning Yuhan made three small jars of pickled green beans for Xu Lin. She bought the pickling jars online and the tender green beans from the market. She made them at home, but it took at least half a month to pickle them.

Xu Lin was getting a little hungry.

After stir-frying the pickled cowpeas, Xu Lin took them upstairs and then turned on his computer.

Xu Lin's Moon Goddess System 2.0 is still at the top of Weibo's trending topics.

On Douyin, Xu Lin's Moon Goddess System 2.0 has also been highly praised, generating a huge amount of traffic on the platform and being hailed as a shining example of domestic technology, and indeed, a true shining example of domestic technology.

It's worth noting that even the HarmonyOS system took several years to develop in order to cater to its user base, such as the mobile version, which gradually transitioned from Android.

At this moment, Xu Lin directly dropped a bombshell: a computer operating system completely independent of the mainstream Windows and macOS operating systems. This was nothing short of a depth charge for the computer industry.

Of course, many people said it was useless, but Xu Lin wouldn't pay attention to them. He knew what he was doing, and a bunch of laymen had no right to say he couldn't do it.

After turning on his computer, Xu Lin continued typing code.

This time, he's going to develop a multimedia player.

On the computer, there is a very powerful media player called PotPlayer, which has a codebase of just over ten million lines.

Xu Lin estimated that the amount of code required for his multimedia player would be at least in the millions.

However, the initial development of the player doesn't require this much code. It's not too late to gradually improve it later.

So Xu Lin spent more than four hours developing a simple multimedia player, which currently only supports MP4 video format playback. MP4 is the mainstream video format and can be considered the most common format.

Once the development was complete, Xu Lin uploaded it to his personal website.

Later, I updated my Weibo: My Luna Player has been uploaded to my personal website. As a newly developed multimedia player, it currently only supports MP4 video playback and only supports the Luna System 2.0 computer operating system. Just download and install it to use. I've also created a new section on my personal website specifically for Q&A. You can ask me any technical questions in the future, and I'll select some to answer, but please don't ask random, irrelevant questions.

People in the computer field, or other technical circles, saw that Xu Lin uploaded a multimedia player, and many of them downloaded and installed it immediately to see what it was all about.

After more than 30 hours of hype, the Luna System 2.0 has become a hot topic within the community.

This thing is nothing short of a national treasure.

Because it is a completely new computer operating system that is entirely independent of English programming, no one or no company had been able to do it before, only Mr. Xu had done it.

Moreover, anyone with technical knowledge who has seen this system knows just how powerful it is.

The code is only a little over 200,000 lines, but in terms of performance and overall user experience, it is comparable to English programming languages ​​that start with a million lines.

Young Master Xu's programming skills are terrifyingly high.

Moreover, research has revealed that Mr. Xu also used a very advanced programming language, which left even highly skilled programmers, such as architects, technical experts, and programming masters, in awe.

Luna System 2.0 is an open-source system. What does open-source mean? It means you can view the code inside. Windows, as a commercial system, uses a closed-source model. Unless a government agency is reviewing security issues, others cannot view the code.

As an open-source system, Luna System 2.0 allows programmers to access its code data using certain technical means.

That being said, if it's not open source, how will the world know that I'm programming in Chinese?

You say you used Chinese language programming, so you're a Chinese language programmer?
Logically, this is not possible.

Facts speak louder than words.

Thus, people discovered the programming language within it.

Especially the most essential one.

What programming language is this?

People had never seen that font before, and even computers couldn't recognize it.

It just feels like oracle bone script.

However, this type of oracle bone script is not found in existing oracle bone script databases.

How did Young Master Xu manage to do that?

Therefore, only those who truly understand technology, those top-notch tech experts, can comprehend just how terrifying Xu Gongzi's abilities are.

When Luna Player was released, many people installed it immediately and then tested it, resulting in numerous positive outcomes.

"The code is only a staggering four thousand lines long, but Mr. Xu's skill is still formidable. Despite the small amount of code, this player's application capabilities are comparable to mature commercial players. It's just that it currently only supports MP4 video format. We look forward to Mr. Xu's continued updates!"

"Young Master Xu, may I ask you a question? In the Moon Goddess System 2.0, you used a programming language that is completely unfamiliar to all of us, and this language is not even in your programming language database. What exactly is this language?"

Many people have asked questions about this issue, and Xu Lin just created a Q&A section on his personal website.

People then went to the Q&A section to leave messages.

An hour later, Xu Lin saw that many people were asking him about oracle bone script codes.

I chose to answer one of the questions: I created more than a thousand oracle bone characters based on the existing oracle bone script library and by working backward from the existing Chinese characters. So these oracle bone characters do not actually exist. They are special oracle bone characters created specifically to develop a set of oracle bone script codes.

Xu Lin also answered more than a dozen other questions.

In just one hour, this Q&A section had received over four thousand questions.

Xu Lin clearly couldn't answer that many questions.

The questions he answers will automatically appear in the "Moderator Answered" section, allowing more people to see them.

Everyone then saw what Xu Lin meant by creating oracle bone script by working backwards from Chinese characters.

"Young Master Xu is amazing. He created more than a thousand oracle bone script characters himself? No wonder it seemed so profound to me."

"Young Master Xu, could you please release these oracle bone script codes? They seem too difficult to understand; I can't learn them."

early morning.

Young Master Xu's creation of oracle bone script has once again become a trending topic.

Someone extracted the oracle bone script from the codebase of the Luna System 2.0.

It has completely baffled the archaeological community.

Several old men were woken up in the middle of the night by the students to study this script.

Oh my god.

Isn't this character just oracle bone script?
That's absolutely flawless.

"Young Master Xu created his own oracle bone script?"

It didn't reach the top spot on the trending topics list, but it did reach the top ten.

It was past midnight, many people were still awake, and it was the peak time for netizens to be active.

"Damn, Young Master Xu is amazing! He even managed to figure out oracle bone script for you."

"I'm curious, how high an IQ does it take to reverse-engineer oracle bone script like this? Just how high is Young Master Xu's IQ?"

"This is a computer system built by hand, and you're still asking about intelligence? You should be asking if he's even human?"

"Which school did Young Master Xu graduate from? I wonder if it was one of the top two in the country?"

Ordinary netizens are discussing it extensively, but they don't understand computer systems. For example, some curious people downloaded and installed Luna System 2.0, but they still couldn't figure it out. The software ecosystem is not available, and Windows applications cannot be installed. Luna System 2.0 is basically useless to people.

Therefore, the current Luna System 2.0 is mostly used for research by programmers and similar groups.

Conversely, in the computer field, the entire field was shaken by Xu Lin's system, and many large companies were working tirelessly to research it.

Q: Why does your code, which only has about 200,000 lines, perform like a computer system with millions of lines of code?

Even large companies have conducted extreme tests and found that the limit of the Luna System 2.0 is equivalent to 1.83 million lines of code in the English programming language!

What concept?
If Young Master Xu were to use millions of lines of code, wouldn't that be equivalent to a commercially mature computer system?
Young Master Xu, you're going to ascend to heaven.

He's a man who personally developed computer systems and stands at the pinnacle of the programming world.

At 2:00 AM Beijing time on the 30th (UTC+8), which is equivalent to 10:00 AM on the 29th in North America (UTC+8).

Mark Zuckerberg himself announced that he would spend $2.8 million to recruit Xu Zi, the founder of MATLAB.

?

The news came back quickly.

This price has shocked the world; converted to RMB, it's over two billion!
The next day in China, it became a trending topic on Weibo, scaring people into thinking it was fake news from marketing accounts.

But many people use VPNs to bypass the firewall, and upon closer inspection, the messages are all genuine.

The message posted by Mark Zuckerberg, the "Reptile," couldn't be more authentic.

Several other large international companies quickly followed suit, offering incredibly high salaries.

Where is Young Master Xu?

Quietly.

Until nine o'clock that evening.

His Weibo post was updated: He spent fourteen hours working non-stop to create a simple browser, namely his Moon God Browser, which has been uploaded to his personal website. It has basic browser functions such as web browsing (text, image, and video loading, etc.), address bar operation, and tab management. However, as he mentioned earlier, this is just a simple browser with only 16,000 lines of code, and it currently lacks more complete functions. He will continue to update it when he has time, and it will remain open source for everyone to learn from and refer to. It's worth mentioning that his browser will not have any ads. This means that when you log into any website, this browser can block any ads on the page, ensuring a completely clean browsing experience.

Many people immediately downloaded and installed the Luna system.

"Young Master Xu is still awesome! He spent fourteen hours manually typing on the browser!"

"I've already started using it. This browser seems to be no different from other browsers on the market in terms of functionality. In addition, except for websites like iQiyi where videos have built-in ads, all other ads that pop up on the webpage don't appear at all. I've never seen such a clean webpage."

"Does Young Master Xu have a team behind him? How can one person do so much work? It's so scary that I don't even think you're human."

"Didn't he have a video to prove it before? He was multitasking and his hand speed was incredibly fast. You can't judge him by normal standards."

"Young Master Xu, when are we going to install a work software? I feel like I can finally say goodbye to Windows."

"No, Young Master Xu said that he is still using Alibaba's latest generation Shenlong cloud server. There is no physical server, so it cannot support the commercial operation model. That's why you see, his system can't store data. User data will be cleared after shutting down and restarting."

"Indeed, it can only be used in a simple way at present. There is no physical server. Moreover, I have specifically checked that a system like Windows requires several million servers. Even if it is only used by our country, it would still require at least hundreds of thousands of servers. Add to that all other costs. Unless Young Master Xu owns a behemoth company, he cannot support the operation of a system. But in any case, Young Master Xu is still a world-class genius!"

There was a lot of discussion online.

But laymen only see the spectacle, while experts see the intricacies.

In tech circles such as the computer industry, Xu Lin's browser has once again startled many people.

As anyone with technical knowledge knows, browsers are among the most difficult software programs to develop, requiring an astonishing amount of code—millions or even tens of millions of lines.

But what's most terrifying about Young Master Xu is that he uses very little code to accomplish very complex things.

What kind of feeling does it give people?
For example, it's like how Young Master Xu has evolved to a level that normal humans can't reach. When a normal person tries to describe something that's hard to describe, they need to use a lot of words, but Young Master Xu can do it in just one sentence or even a few words.

What kind of genius is this?
No wonder Young Master Xu arrogantly said before that geniuses are not worthy of carrying his shoes.

Luna Browser is open source, and its code is publicly available.

But people just couldn't understand it.

Except for those oracle bone script codes that are not in Mr. Xu's database, everything else is there.

However, the programming language used in the database seems to be different from that here; Xu Gongzi's code is more advanced and simpler.

People were thinking: Huh? This actually works?
At that moment, even the most technically savvy among this group seemed to be reading a book written in a foreign language.

You have to understand, weren't they among the best when they were in school? Many of them were even among the top students that only one person from a city could produce each year.

However, they also found it difficult to understand Young Master Xu's code.

There's a saying that the textbook content is all there, and theoretically, as long as you understand it all, you can easily get into a top key university. But the problem is, even if you memorize all the textbook content, you still won't pass the exam.

Next three days.

The internet is buzzing with rumors and speculation, but Xu Gongzi seems to have vanished; nobody knows what he's doing.

In fact, Xu Lin had been thinking about a question.

That is, in the advanced stage of civilization evolution, is language highly condensed?

For example, some people have proposed that the Book of Changes is a language that was summarized when a previous civilization reached its peak.

The Book of Changes has had a great influence even on the West, promoting the development of multiple disciplines. It is no longer just an ancient Eastern book, and it has little to do with supernatural phenomena.

Xu Lin thought about it for a long time and felt it was possible.

However, he doesn't need to worry too much about what kind of civilization it is.

These past few days, he has been working tirelessly to figure out and develop a new programming language.

Three days later, Xu Lin finally finished the entire programming language.

"Let's name it Sanyi for now!"

The Three Changes are change, simplicity, and immutability. These three "changes" make up the Book of Changes. For example, change refers to the changes in all things in the universe, that is, the basic laws of nature and the world.

Xu Lin originally wanted to name this new language Zhouyi, but that name was too grand, so he decided to keep it low-key.

And he also plans to make it public.

"I wonder if others can understand this programming language?"

Xu Lin thought about it for a while, but then it suddenly became clear.

The issue of whether or not to publish ultra-high-level languages ​​is irrelevant, because some things are inherently too advanced for the average person to understand. Even if they were published, it wouldn't be a problem; even if you were shown them, you still wouldn't be able to learn them. Otherwise, if you could learn everything just by looking at textbooks, there would be top universities and elite talents everywhere.

So, Xu Lin released this language that night and uploaded it to his personal website.

Weibo post: "I've been pondering a question: Is there a civilization on Earth that predates humanity, and is the I Ching a special language summarized by that civilization? So, I spent three days developing a new programming language, referencing the Three Changes in the Book of Changes, which includes three parts: change, simplicity, and immutability, hence the name 'Three Changes'."

This programming language will be extremely difficult; it's the most difficult language I've ever taught. But if you master it, you'll have a thorough understanding of my entire Chinese programming system, and you'll achieve great success, becoming a world-class master in the field of programming.

Unsurprisingly, this is another move that will shake up the world of programming.
