Jiangnan City, inside an Internet cafe.
Lin Shu put down the mouse, took out a bottle of ice-cold Coke from the refrigerator, and hurried over to Unit 83. After handing the Coke to the young man who was playing games, he ran back to the service desk and focused his eyes on the computer screen.
She has been working here as a temporary worker for several months.
Lin Shu could think of few ways to make money. The prize money from the Army Ant Company's computer programming competition was her only hope.
All the reward rules for the Army Ant Company Computer Design Contest have been released.
One first prize winner will receive a bonus of RMB 2 million, plus the price of acquiring the software. Two second prize winners will receive a bonus of RMB 800,000. Five third prize winners will receive a bonus of RMB 300,000. The consolation prize is 10,000.
She only needs to finish in the top eight, and she may get a bonus, and her brother will have money to treat his illness.
Since she decided to learn Chinese character programming language, she has been immersed in the world of Chinese character programming language every day in the past few months.
There is no computer at home, so she can only work in an Internet cafe and use the computer.
Because she is still a student, Internet cafes are not willing to hire her. After begging several companies, the owner of this Internet cafe agreed to let her stay here part-time and work part-time.
It's not far from school. I come here to help after school every day. When there are a lot of people, they recharge the Internet fee and give away drinks. Whenever they have free time, they sit in front of the computer and learn Chinese character programming language.
For this reason, she also specially joined a Chinese character programming language group to learn from other people's experiences.
In the past few months, Lin Shu came here every day, rain or shine, and didn't go back until 11 o'clock at night. She had already bought three sets of the updated Chinese character programming language textbooks from Marching Ant Company, and spent the little money she had saved on them.
During class, I read Chinese character programming language books. After class, I come here to watch instructional videos and then learn programming software.
She went back and forth and watched the tutorials and videos released by the Army Ant Company no less than five times. It was tiring to learn, but a sense of hope in her heart kept her going. Only by persisting can my brother have hope.
She was unsure about participating in the Army Ant Company's computer programming competition. If she wanted to participate, she had to program a software. In the communication group, she saw people preparing to participate as a team.
After a few months of sleepless nights and sleepless nights, she went from being a novice in Chinese character programming language to a fairly proficient expert now.
Now on the computer, there is her hard work during this period.
Ant-like Chinese character programming code occupies the compiler. Seeing the above code, Lin Shu's heart began to calm down and he continued to focus on typing the code.
She cannot design large-scale games. She is now designing an anti-virus software and hopes to succeed. As long as she succeeds and is spotted by the Army Ant Company, she will hopefully be able to cure her brother's illness.
Today is an important day.
The code she wrote is about to take shape. As long as the prototype can be successful and constantly improved, this anti-virus software will be the software she uses to participate in the Marching Ant Company's Chinese Character Programming Language Programming Competition.
Two hours later, Lin Shu stopped what he was doing. After correcting the detection errors, Lin Shu looked at the densely packed code on the compiler and had a bad feeling.
For some reason, she felt frightened. Maybe he was too nervous, Lin Shu comforted himself.
After saving the code, Lin Shu couldn't wait to generate the application.
This weekend, there are many people in the Internet cafe, many of them students. Except for the occasional person who came over to recharge or buy drinks, no one noticed her at the counter. The network administrator next to her was also concentrating on playing with her mobile phone.
At this time, Lin Shu's heart skipped a beat. When he placed the mouse on the application icon, his heartbeat began to accelerate. Finally, I gritted my teeth and double-clicked the app, closing my eyes tightly together.
Time seemed to stand still. Lin Shu slowly opened her eyes and was stunned when she saw the empty table.
Missing
Bang bang bang…
The next second, the Internet cafe started to become noisy, and all the computers, one after another, had their screens popping up. While playing the game, at the most critical moment, the game screen disappeared and the people in the seats jumped up immediately.
"Network administrator, what's going on? What's going on? Why did the game drop?"
"Fuck! We are in black rank and we are fighting for the last big crystal."
"I'm in the chicken finals..."
"@#￥%"
All kinds of curses rang out, and everyone's game interfaces disappeared in the entire Internet cafe, and everyone had an angry look on their face.
"The icons are disappearing one by one, as if there is a virus."
After a scream, everyone focused on the computer screen. Sure enough, the icons on the computer desktop were disappearing one by one. After all the icons disappeared, the screen was stuck and the mouse could not move.
The network administrator who was playing with his mobile phone suddenly woke up and looked at the computer host in a panic. Sure enough, he saw the icons on the computer desktop disappearing one by one.
"Wait a minute, let me ask what's going on." The network manager dialed the phone and restarted the computer host.
However, when the host was just turned on, the desktop was still empty without a single icon. After other computers are turned on, they also have nothing on the desktop, and all software has disappeared.
Lin Shu looked at the only anti-virus program application on her computer desktop with panicked eyes.
It seems like a big disaster has occurred.
"Lin Shu, what is this software on your desktop?" The network administrator next to him was just about to come over and use Lin Shu's computer to test the problem, and immediately saw the only anti-virus program on the desktop.
Outside of Internet cafes, computers on the same server also show the same symptoms. This situation quickly spread to every corner of Jiangnan City.
Chen Mo is synthesizing room temperature superconducting materials in the laboratory.
For chip design, Mo Nu combined the chip design layouts of other companies. After this period of time, she continued to optimize and modify them 24 hours a day. Under simulation, the layout design has now been completed. What is needed next is to verify these chip designs.
Now that the lithography machine is available and other equipment is on the way, he doesn't need to worry about these things, Zhao Min will arrange them for him.
What he has to do now is to synthesize more room-temperature superconducting materials and purify silicon carbon. Once all the equipment is in place, he can start making superconducting chips.
Now there is no need to worry about the seismograph.
The networking of seismometers in China is rapidly unfolding. With the support of the state, every batch of seismometers produced will be immediately sent to earthquake-prone and densely populated areas for installation.
During this period, a 5.1-magnitude earthquake was successfully predicted and a timely reminder was issued. No casualties were caused and the losses were minimal.
With this successful prediction, people have more confidence in seismometers and have more confidence in seismometers. Everywhere the seismograph goes, it is greeted by a crowd of people.
For domestic networking, experts from the National Academy of Sciences specialize in selecting addresses and locations. They do not need to worry about these things. All Army Ant Company needs to do is to produce seismometers and ensure the quality of the seismometers.
As for foreign ones, first complete the domestic networking and then think about the export of seismometers.
While Chen Mo was purifying silicon carbon, Mo Nu's voice interrupted Chen Mo's movements: "Brother Mo, a new semi-intelligent computer virus has appeared in Jiangnan City."
"What?"
Chen Mo stopped what he was doing.
Semi-intelligent computer virus? This was the first time he had heard of the virus.
"A semi-intelligent computer virus appeared in Jiangnan City. The virus was programmed in Chinese character programming language." Mo Nu said.
"Programmed in Chinese character programming language? Semi-intelligent virus? Is there anything special about it?" Chen Mo was immediately attracted by Mo Nu's words.
"It has a small piece of program code, which belongs to the category of intelligent program code. The virus is a network virus. It is a wrongly written anti-virus program code. It does not distinguish between friend and foe, and treats all software as viruses to kill. The most important thing is that it has a little intelligence. It is a semi-intelligent virus that can spread automatically through the Internet and infect computers in a regional network. Now in Jiangnan City, nearly 10,000 computers have been infected with this virus in just twenty minutes."
"So serious?" Chen Mo was startled by this number, and his face became cautious: "Stop the spread of the virus and retrieve the information of the virus's creator."
