Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations

107 Arrest (1)

“Done!” Li Chengqian wasn’t idling while waiting for Lin Xiong to return.

He didn’t meddle with the source code provided by Lin Xiong, instead he only annotated the portions where there were errors.

After waiting for 10 minutes, Lin Xiong still wasn’t back. Li Chengqian made a copy of the source code. The more he looked at it, the more he was itching to do something about it.

This was just like a middle school student itching to correct a primary school student’s homework, like when he saw that the child has even gotten something as basic as 1 + 1 wrong.

In Li Chengqian’s eyes, this code was very crudely done.

The construction design wasn’t very rational either.

In particular, they did not adopt an advanced modular design system, causing the system’s malfunction to be abnormally difficult to detect. The entire system had to be updated just in order to update one small function. In Li Chengqian’s eyes, this was very backward.

“I’ll reconstruct the core code and optimize it.”

Li Chengqian didn’t need to think at all. He placed his hands on the keyboard, and amidst the clattering sound, codes quickly appeared on the computer.

He deleted a large amount of the original clumsy code, and very quickly reconstructed the entire system.

The system core managed the activation of the computer and the activation, shutdown, operation, update, change, addition, and deletion of the other cores.

The safety control core would review all human and non-human operations of the space station. Any actions that would cause danger to the space station would be rejected by the system and a warning would be sent to the ground.

The network core carried out the space-to-earth communication, file transfer, and network connection.

The file core virtualized the hard disk and other storage resources and became a module that controlled the operating system resources.

The memory scheduling core controlled the memory space and automatically allocated the memory space of the entire system to ensure that it could function normally.

The API layer provided an interface so that the software could call system resources to ensure that the software could function normally.

The driver controlled the communication interface of the core, system, and other equipment.

Of all the cores, only the driver core took some time. As for the other modules, Li Chengqian had already implemented them in the Divine Dragon operating system core or in the operating system developed during the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. As for the rest, most of the code was copied directly from the code provided by Lin Xiong. With a little optimization, it could be used directly.

In just half an hour, the entire core code was reconstructed.

As he looked at the engineering document, a translucent notification appeared.

[Space station operating system core completion rate 100%. Software grade D+.]

On the interface, the Master of All Professions game notification appeared.

[D+ grade software development completed. Reward: 20,000 experience value points. Current experience pool: 657,000 experience value points.]

He had been developing software during this period of time. He had unknowingly accumulated a large amount of experience value points. However, as he had yet to meet the requirements for the University Student profession, he couldn’t use these experience value points for the time being.

However, Li Chengqian knew that after becoming a University Student, this bit of experience value points was nothing. It was hardly enough. He had even begun to plan, under safe conditions, to use the Farmer profession again to gain experience value points.

“Now that the space station operating system is modular, it would be very simple to add the laser arms control module in the future!” Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction.

“After the system is reconstructed, it’s completely compatible with the previous software and driver. The previous software can be used directly without any modifications. The efficiency is also about 30% higher than before.”

Even the size of the core code had decreased to half its previous size.

After the software was completed, Li Chengqian didn’t put it into the simulation software to test run at all. This was because when he was writing the code just now, he maintained the skill state of Rational Thinking. He ran the code through his humanoid computer. The software was functioning well and he didn’t find any bugs.

Seeing that Lin Xiong had yet to return, Li Chengqian went back to work again.

This time, he did not write any code. Instead, he wrote a user manual of the space station operating system, detailing how to use the new system, the API interface, and so on.

Just as Li Chengqian was finishing up the manual, Lin Xiong returned to the office looking worried. After seeing Li Chengqian, he forced a smile and said, “Li Chengqian, I had wanted to have a meal with you, but there’s a very urgent mission, so I’m afraid I can’t keep you company.”

“I asked you to help me troubleshoot the code. The higher-ups asked me to find the issue within three days.”

“Time is very tight. It’s urgent.” Lin Xiong’s face was filled with worry.

Academician Gao Xiang only gave him three days to solve the problem of the space station. He was prepared to camp in the office with his team and go all out.

However, Lin Xiong still did not have any confidence.

He could only do his best and leave the rest to fate and destiny!

“Teacher Lin, don’t be anxious. I’ve already found the problem.” Li Chengqian saw that Lin Xiong was so anxious and hurriedly said.

“It’s normal that you can’t find it. So many of us searched for a week but couldn’t find it… Wait, what did you say?! You’ve found it?! Really?” Lin Xiong suddenly reacted. His eyes widened. He was so excited that he took a step forward and grabbed Li Chengqian’s hands.

“Teacher Lin, calm down. I have really found the problem!” Li Chengqian looked at the exhilarated Lin Xiong and said calmly.

“Li Chengqian, I’m sorry, I was too anxious… Please tell me quickly, what’s the problem?” Lin Xiong also reacted at this time and hurriedly let go of Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian turned on the computer and opened the program file. He pinpointed the problematic code and began to explain, “It’s like this…”

Lin Xiong was very skilled in programming so he understood Li Chengqian’s point within a few sentences and his eyes lit up.

Based on the knowledge he had, Li Chengqian had really found the problem.

“… We just need to change the data type to double precision, and the offset problem will be solved.”

“This problem started to appear on April 1st because in the core code, the data types before and after April 1st are different.”

“Teacher Lin, look at these lines of code.”

“Yes, the problem lies with these lines of code! As long as we change these lines of code, no matter how long the space station operates, there won’t be such a malfunction.” Lin Xiong’s face was filled with excitement. He looked at it carefully and confirmed the location of this line of code.

The anxiety on his face was swept away, and he was in a state of exhilaration.

“I’ll immediately tell my boss this good news and tell him not to worry.” Lin Xiong didn’t speak further and brought Li Chengqian out.

…

Over at the Academy of Space Technology, a team of fully armed detectives from the Internet Security Department was led by Wang Xinbo, the Deputy Director of the Cyberspace Administration Office into the Academy.

Through technical means, they had already ascertained Li Chengqian’s last location.

This time, they have come to arrest Li Chengqian.

...

The Tencent Corporation incident had a huge impact, and the public was extremely concerned.

The higher-ups requested a thorough investigation and to update members of the public as soon as possible.

They couldn’t investigate at all when Li Chengqian was uncontactable.

Wang Xinbo was once a student of Academician Gao Xiang. After he entered the Academy of Space Technology, he immediately went to Gao Xiang’s office to explain the situation.

“Mr. Gao, this is the situation. We’ve already pinpointed the suspect, Li Chengqian’s location through technical means. The last place he appeared was at the Academy of Space Technology.”

“Li Chengqian’s software technology is very formidable. He can control all the servers and software of Tencent Corporation.”

“I’m afraid that if he enters the Academy of Space Technology, he will cause damage, steal decrypted data, and even control… the space station.”

“This person is very dangerous. We are informing you about him, and we have to control him immediately! Otherwise, he will threaten the space station and the Academy.”

“According to the soldiers at the gate, Li Chengqian was brought in by Senior Lin. After viewing the surveillance footage, we found that he’s still in Senior Lin’s office.” Wang Xinbo’s tone was extremely serious.

“Xinbo, let’s go. I’ll go with you.” Although Academician Gao Xiang was close to 70 years old, he was in good health. After hearing the report, he slammed the table angrily.

“Lin Xiong, this kid, hasn’t been doing anything serious all day. This time, he even brought such a dangerous person into the office. After you arrest him, I have to teach him a lesson.” In fact, he was trying to protect Lin Xiong
