"So what are you indicating?" Jin sighed, "it's an alien technology?"

"I am not saying that either," Arya shook her head, "what I just told you is the 'official' version of the report. Just to let you know 'unofficially', that strong programming language has developed indeed. But there is no proof."

Jin frowned, "you are hiding something."

"You have to listen to a story first to capture the vast picture," Arya smiled a little, "it's a myth. You can call it an Urban legend of the cyber world. A few decades ago, can't tell you the exact timeline...Ten computer scientists developed the strongest programming code ever existed in this world. Normally the fundamental language of our computer system is a binary signal. Whatever we type or command through a keyboard or mouse, computers translate those into zero and one. The computers understand commands by the variation of just these two digits. But our genius ten scientists made another language which is even more basic than binary. There is no place for zero there. There is only one digit. ONE. That was a singular code.

"Wait a minute," Jin stopped Arya, "how can they make a whole code with just one digit? If there aren't at least two elements, how the permutation and combination would work?"

"They made it possible with only one digit. With the duration of stability, rhythm, and frequency of the electric pulse of the single-digit- they brought the variation in it. The process is very complex even for me. You can't understand." Arya shook her shoulder.

"Ok. What happened next?"

"Exactly that happened what was bound to happen. That language became the strongest and prime language in the coding world. Do you get how strong that was? A single-digit just. It can break down any program in microseconds that have been written in binary. After testing the efficacy of the language, our ten genius stopped."

"Why?" Jin was curious.

"A thousands of complexity for starters. To replace the whole binary infrastructure with this code was impossible at that time. Probably now too. Our whole cyber world has been built based on binary. If it has to be replaced by a new code, the whole system would fall apart. All the progression is done in binary- to replace and translate it into this new code and to teach the whole world the new language- was almost an impossible task. And the singular code- that was so complex that to teach and let people adapt to that system would have cost many decades. And the progression and invention that could have been done meanwhile would also be stopped. If you don't know the language, how can you work on it?"

"But they just abandoned such a strong invention just for that?

"Not exactly abandoned, Jin." Arya shook her head, "they decided that it's not the perfect time yet to reveal the code to everyone. They needed to research more, and develop it more so that it becomes easier. They decided to make a definite grammar for this programming language so that people can learn it easily. And they tried to invent a process so that the process of transferring the whole binary system into this code be fast and easier. For your information- they didn't succeed till now."

"If only ten people try to do such huge work- how can they progress? And what was the reason for all this secrecy? They could have revealed it and asked help from the computer scientists all over the world!" Jin opposed.

"Because of the unimaginable power this singular code held. You still couldn't get it, right? As long as you can't bring the whole computer system of the world under this code- this code is just another destructive weapon in your hand. If it falls into the hands of the hacker, there won't be something called 'cyber security' anymore. No matter how strong security you have in binary code, this code will break it down in milliseconds. The banking system, insurance, and even the computerized defense system of any country- everything will be its prey. So they promised that they will neither disclose the code nor teach anybody about it until their research succeeds. They kept the promise. But due to the experiments they did earlier- words spread.
The rumor spread about the code. A name was also given to it- Uno code. Use of 1- that's where the name came from. People started calling the ten genii 'The Uno.' but that's just it. Nobody learned the language ever since except them. Nobody even knows their identity. They have become living legends. We call them the God of the cyber world. They are the strongest computer programmers the world has ever seen." Arya took a long breath after finishing the long story.
