Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

Chen Yiran said, quite shocked, "You want to send me the entire codebase of the database execution engine?"

Ellison nodded: "That's right, as long as you have the ability and are willing to help me with this, I'm willing to open up the entire codebase for you to see."

Oracle's code is incredibly complex. The oldest part of our database's kernel code was written in 1979. It was written when I was still coding; back then, there were only three people at Oracle.

Since then, we've made at least dozens of mergers and acquisitions, each time adding new things to the foundation of the old code. Some of the engineers involved have already retired, and there's a lot of logic in the code that nobody can explain what it's for.

Moreover, our clients, whether banks, telecommunications companies, or governments, are most concerned about information loss due to incompatibility. Therefore, all our version updates must ensure perfect backward compatibility. You can imagine how long the codebase is now after decades of accumulation.

Two years ago, I allocated a special fund to establish a 60-person architecture team, which cost 20 million yuan and worked for eight months. The final report recommended against making any structural changes to the core execution engine.

To put it bluntly, we just couldn't figure it out. In the end, we submitted a report hundreds of pages long, completely useless. Our current approach is to keep using new wrapper layers to bypass the old code.

Chen Yiran swallowed and asked, "So, how many exactly?"

Ellison's voice carried a sense of despair: "The core functionality code is over 25 million lines, and it's going to grow by 1.5 million every year, and the growth will only increase. In a few years, it might grow by 2 million every year."

This is truly outrageous. In comparison, the core functionality code of Microsoft Windows only has seven or eight million lines.

Moreover, Oracle's code does not have a driver for this peripheral adapter layer, and its overall functionality density far exceeds that of Windows.

Chen Yiran gave a thumbs up: "That's pretty outrageous, this must be a Guinness World Record. By the way, why do you trust me so much? To be honest, you've never shown your kernel code to outsiders, have you?"

Ellison grinned slyly. "It's like this, this internal code is more important to me than the financial situation. But Steve trusts you, and after meeting you today, I feel you can be trusted too."

Of course, to be honest, there's another reason. It's your technical capabilities. Steve and I both feel that DeepFlow is severely underrated. With the computational power of this framework, if it were to enter the fields of data analysis and data warehousing, we might not be able to handle it.

But if you really figure out our code, how will you ever dare to try and steal our jobs? If you really try to compete with us, we can take you to court and say you copied us.

"You know what, that actually makes a lot of sense. Okay, I'll give this rather challenging task a try. However, I don't know exactly how messy your codebase is. I'm not sure how long it will take, and I'm not even sure if I can make it."

Ellison nodded. "Just give it a try. What do you need? This is different from the previous two jobs. I feel like this is more like I'm asking you for a favor. It would be strange to give you money, and you're not short of money."

Chen Yiran thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, just pay the lawyer's fees. In any case, I need to review the core code, and both of our lawyers will need to finalize various agreements. Just pay the fee for me."

Ellison shook his head: "That won't do. I have to send something away. Speaking of which, back in 1995, when Steve was in such a sorry state, I was thinking of just hostilely acquiring Apple and sending him back. But he refused, saying he didn't want to go back that way."

Steve was brilliant; in 1997, Apple indeed acquired his company, allowing him to return with greater dignity.

Then I felt uneasy that the company hadn't been able to give him one, so I wanted to buy him a Gulfstream. But he refused, saying he would buy it himself. Finally, through various hints, Apple awarded him one as a gift in 1999.

This guy is such a perfectionist! In the end, I didn't get to give him anything, and now I almost never have the chance to give him anything.

You need to receive something, or I'll get really annoyed. How about this, you haven't bought a private jet yet, right? I'll send you a Gulfstream, it's settled.

Chen Yiran laughed: "You know what, when I went to Europe this time, I was thinking about buying my own plane. Okay, you give me a plane, and I'll take care of it for you."

"Okay, it's settled then."

After everything was settled, Chen Yiran left Oracle.

In the car, Chen Yiran and Jasmine began their discussion.

【(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ It's not a big problem. Eat more high-calorie foods, and I'll think about it carefully. I can handle not only code dependency analysis but also direct modification.】

Another issue is that it's quite taxing on the eyes; with over 20 million lines, just looking at it would probably blind you.

Chen Yiran suddenly realized that she had agreed too quickly, and silently thought to herself: No, no, he can't just send the whole package directly, he must only send some core parts, the anonymized internal authorized version.

【It's hard to say, ︿(￣︶￣)︿. I originally asked you to help clean up this mountain of crap code, so how are you going to clean it up if I don't give you the crap?】

Chen Yiran instantly felt that the blue sky outside had become a bit grayer.

Because things were about to get busy, Chen Yiran took Olsen to see the F1 Canadian Grand Prix, which he had been looking forward to, during their last few days of free time.

As it turns out, Chen Yiran's influence on the weather is far from being significant, and Canada experienced heavy rain as expected.

Chen Yiran witnessed a classic battle in F1 history, including the longest race in history, a grueling 4 hours, 4 minutes and 39 seconds, with 6 safety cars and one red flag wait that lasted more than 2 hours.

Jensen Button, the 2009 Formula 1 World Champion, delivered the most tiring and greatest race of his career.

After two collisions, a tire blowout, a penalty to pass through the pit lane, and six ceasefires.

He was in last place in the pack at lap 30, but in the final 10 laps, due to various chaotic situations, he actually moved up to fourth place.

Then came the most insane chase in F1 history: he overtook Webber on lap 64 and Schumacher on lap 65, ultimately putting immense pressure on Vettel, who was driving a Martian car ahead of him.

Vettel made a mistake at Turn 6 on the last lap, allowing Button to overtake him. He didn't lead for a full lap, only climbing to first place on the eighth-to-last turn of the final lap to win the championship.

After partying with the team, Chen Yiran returned to Silicon Valley and finally stopped delaying and went to work at AMD.
