After learning the meaning of Lin Xun, Jiagou laughed out, then said: "You should feel embarrassed."
Lin Xun: "Embarrassment can't let me understand this book, you know me well, so can you understand it?"
Zhao Jiagou sat next to Lin Xun, took the book, turned a few pages, and after a while, changed his posture and sat up straight.
He said: "Suanfa*, even if you can program Luo Shen, even if you are called 'Xun God' ——but so what? For you, it is impossible to understand this book, but I can. There is a saying in Chinese, called 'The ruler has shortness, the inch has advantages', it means ..."
* Algorithm=算法(Suànfǎ), to facilitate the subsequent plot, I chose to use the Chinese name.
Speaking of that, he quickly changed his words: "No, I can't say like this, this is cursing myself, I'm not an inch*."
*inch=寸(Cùn), in Chinese, if you are 寸, that means you are an unlucky guy.
Lin Xun: "Now I start to doubt your Chinese level."
Zhao Jiagou looked into his eyes: "Your provocation is very successful."
He closed the book, and said to Lin Xun: "I need four hours."
Then, he took away the book and opened his laptop.
Wang Anquan reached out and took the Foundation Establishment in Thousands of Days, turned a few pages, and looked at Zhao Jiagou suspiciously: "Can you do it?"
"Learning a language is like deciphering a password, Anquan, this is your field." Zhao Jiagou said.
Wang Anquan: "I'm sorry, I can't."
Zhao Jiagou shrugged and began to operate the computer.
Lin Xun and Wang Anquan got closer from his two sides, observing his actions.
——Zhao Jiagou has a very amazing talent for language. He has a keen sense of the structure of language. This can be seen from his proficient Chinese.
Zhao Jiagou turned on the search engine, looking for classic classical Chinese texts, and selected a few articles with a heavy traditional Chinese atmosphere. Then he looked at the book cover of Foundation Establishment in Thousands of Days, added a book called Daode Jing.
He began to browse these classical Chinese texts one by one consulting the vernacular explains.
After watching for five minutes, Lin Xun and Wang Anquan were defeated, and went to do their own things respectively.
Zhao Jiagou hummed a song and glanced at them: "I must be familiar with their grammatical structure first."
Wang Anquan: "If we were bankrupt in the future, you can still be a linguist."
Zhao Jiagou: "I'm afraid it won't work. I don't have any art cell at all. I'm watching them like cracking passwords."
Two hours later, Zhao Jiagou turned off the browser, picked up the blue book again, and began to read it.
The speed of his reading was not slow, it seemed to be reading his mother language.
When he turned about five pages, he looked at Lin Xun.
"My dear Suanfa," he said: "Although I don't know why you are interested in it, it's all talking nonsense."
"Although I also think it's nonsense," Lin Xun replied to him: "But the content inside is likely to help me——I will raise your salary."
Zhao Jiagou: "Okay, then I will try to summarize this book as the words you can understand."
Another hour passed, and when it was time for lunch, Zhao Jiagou closed the blue book: "I've done it."
Then he blackmailed Lin Xun for a hearty takeaway and began to explain to Lin Xun.
"This is a textbook for cultivating immortals. The purpose is to guide a person to reach a state called 'Foundation Establishment', that's ridiculous. Do you know what it said?" Zhao Jiagou flapped the cover of the book: "It is said that people can draw outside air into their bodies-the original text is called 'Qi', or something else."
"When you have Qi in your body, it will enter your stomach——it is called 'Dantian' in the book, but it is actually the stomach. Your stomach is connected to the blood vessels and nerves of your body——it calls this the 'meridian', and then, guess what are you going to do? ——You have to control Qi flowing in your meridians to form a cycle, and let this cycle to flow through your body day and night."
A cycle, Lin Xun captured this term keenly. He asked, "What's the next?"
"The following content has no scientific basis at all, it is simply nonsense." Zhao Jiagou spoke very quickly, "This book says that the reason why people would get sick is Qi stagnation in your meridians, forming obstacles. When you control the circulation of Qi in the body, these Qi will gradually break away all the obstacles, so that your body and meridians become smooth. When all the obstacles have disappeared, your body will reach a state of 'complete health'. This process will take roughly three years, so it is called 'Foundation Establishment in Thousand of Days'."
Wang Anquan: "Complete health? People will not be ill, fat, or bald?"
"You won't get sick, you won't be bald, but it's hard to say you won't be fat." Zhao Jiagou said coolly: "When your body reaches complete health, it's regarded as 'Foundation Establishment', you can use your completely healthy body, do some other cultivation. The whole content of this book is like this."
Lin Xun: "Is this the whole content of this book?"
"The first one-third is talking about this." Zhao Jiagou opened the second half of the book and pointed to a human body structure diagram and said to him: "The second two-thirds are to teach you how to implement it, such as how to let this cycle flow, which meridian Qi should go or something like this. Or teach you what kind of posture to meditate ——meditate, Suanfa, I think this is not a normal book, the person writing it must have a mental problem."
Lin Xun took the book from Jiagou and thinking.
Zhao Jiagou and Wang Anquan looked at him with great concern, like two old fathers who worried that their son would enter the vortex of cults.
Lin Xun said: "I go back to the room for a while, I'm going to verify something."
Zhao Jiagou: "Do you really want to cultivate?"
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes: "At least I am still a materialist so far."
Zhao Jiagou: "Then please stick to it."
Lin Xun: "Ok."
He lay down on his bed, holding the book Foundation Establishment in Thousands of days, and thought Zhao Jiagou's words again, then closed his eyes and recalled the mysterious space appearing last night.
Sure enough, the next moment, he was there again, facing the huge, blue C language input interface.
The main purpose of this book was to let 'Qi' form a cycle in the body.
The loop structure is one of the basic structures of the programming language. Its function is to repeatedly execute a certain algorithm.
Lin Xun put his hand on the keyboard and wrote a simple loop program.
This was a single-layer loop, very simple, the purpose was calculating multiplication from one to seven.
First set a loop variable 'i', the initial value was 1. Each time the loop was executed, the machine will judge whether i was less than 8, using the statement while (i<8).
If the statement in parentheses was true, that is, when i was less than 8, multiplication would be performed and the result was stored. Subsequently, the value of i was increased by one and continued to be judged. This loop would not stop until i equaled 8.
Soon, the result was run out, 5040. The progress bar had not risen.
Lin Xun was expressionless and modified this loop.
He stroked the keyboard very fast——and the size of the keyboard in his hand was also very in line with his habit, he could touch-type.
He changed the single-layer loop into a dual loop and programmed a multiplication table.
The dual loop is to nest another larger loop on the original single-layer loop. The simple multiplication of natural numbers can be done with ordinary single-layer loops, but if there are other requirements, the number of loops may increase.
The program was running, then the running interface showed a perfect multiplication table. He saw the progress bar slowly moving forward, the value changed from 85% to 88%.
Then, he created a new file and wrote a triple loop. The progress bar moved again, from 88% to 90%.
Sure enough, the key was loop!
What's the next?
Continue to increase the layer of the loop?
Lin Xun thought it is not right. The loop with more than three levels is rarely used in programming. It requires a large amount of calculations and is very ugly. In short, it makes no sense.
The key of Foundation Establishment——Qi flows in the meridians, day and night, endlessly...
Day and night, endless...
Lin Xun's finger on the keyboard twitched slightly, and his heartbeat jumped fast, he suddenly caught the idea of understanding the question!
He pressed the Delete key and deleted the first judgment statement of the triple loop!
He entered a simple command in the original position:
While (1)
The meaning of the while statement is that when the expression value in parentheses is true, the loop is executed.
——And the value of 1 is always true in C language.
Therefore, this statement meant that this loop would be executed forever and forever.
In a sense, this was a wrong program, because there was no condition for the end of the loop——the computer would execute instructions indefinitely until it was interrupted by external interference.
But sometimes, mistakes also make sense.
Lin Xun pressed the run key to call up the run result.
The pure black interface popped up, but there was no output of the result——this cycle would never stop, so the result would never be output.
This was an infinite loop.
Lin Xun gave a light breath and closed his eyes.
He felt that this cultivation might not be as simple as he thought——after all, it was easy to write a correct program, but it was a little difficult to ask him to write a wrong program.
As he expected, at the next moment, the mechanical voice rang throughout the space: "The loop started, and foundation establishing begins. Estimated time: ten days."
Lin Xun opened his eyes and saw that the progress bar of the mission began to slowly and slowly move towards the endpoint.
In other words, after ten days, the progress bar would reach the end, and his foundation would be completed. Then, he would receive the reward, the clan funds +50, spiritual power +30.
The high probability of clan funds means the company's property, but he did not know how to convert it with the actual unit in reality.
And what was the so-called "spiritual power"? He still had no idea for now.
Lin Xun once again focused his attention, returned to the real world, and opened his eyes in bed.
The noonday sunlight passed through the window and spilled on him.
This room had good daylight, and the old man living on the first floor planted two hawthorn trees on the open space in front of the building more than ten years ago. Now, these trees had grown to three floors high, just blocking Lin Xun's windows and controlling the sunlight in the right category.
Lin Xun looked at the window.
He was stunned suddenly.
He had been dealing with computers since he recognized words, and had been facing the screen for a long time——although his life habits were good and his eyesight was maintained, he still fell a little short-sighted.
This degree was harmless, did not need to wear glasses, and did not affect real life at all, but when he looking at distant objects, it would eventually be a little vague.
However, at this moment, he clearly saw the very end of the hawthorn treetop, two green leaves that had just sprouted!
He had never seen it so clearly!
Lin Xun rubbed his eyes and looked again, and found it still so clear.
He came down from the bed and walked to the window. He carefully surveyed the hawthorn tree from top to root, and then set his sights on various buildings in the distance.
His vision was as clear as it was after washing, everything was vivid.
The breeze blew the leaves, rustling, and the sound of every two leaves colliding lightly tapped on his eardrum.
Thinking of what happened just before, Lin Xun's mind slowly emerged a thought.
Sorry, Jiagou.
My materialist worldview is about to crumble.
