Chapter 664: Chapter 169: Xu Lin Enters Purgatory Mode, Handcrafts a Computer Operating System_4

How many Chinese characters are used in daily life?

Just about three thousand.

Many Chinese characters, when presented, not only foreigners but even people from our own country don’t recognize them.

But in Xu Lin’s brain, he knows them all.

This is one of Xu Lin’s amazing traits.

Actually, Xu Lin didn’t expect that the Classical Chinese and Chinese characters he learned out of boredom last year would come in handy now, which took him by surprise.

Where there’s difficulty, there’s also simplicity, so Xu Lin wants to create some simple Chinese programming languages that will be made public for the people to learn.

What about foreigners?

Hmm?

Learn it if you like, or don’t if you don’t.

Anyone who went through middle school knows that in modern history, most of today’s internationally-known countries have invaded Huaxia, especially Japan and Western countries, they are the most sinful.

Want to learn?

Xu Lin still holds the same attitude. If I succeed, it will be tough for those countries.

After pondering for a while, at nine in the morning, Xu Lin finished eating and officially started working.

The first task was to operate the basic Chinese programming language.

Classical Chinese.

Using a basic Classical Chinese format, anyone who attended high school can understand it.

However, most people’s proficiency in Classical Chinese stops at high school because further education, unless studying something like Chinese literature, won’t involve it again in one’s life. Of course, Chinese teachers can still engage with it.

Xu Lin is quite considerate.

The Chinese programming language Xu Lin is currently operating is tentatively named "Hou Yi".

Similar names will follow, like Xi He, Zhu Rong, Gou Mang (the Wood God), all derived from names of gods in ancient Huaxia.

"Damn! I forgot something!"

"I still have to develop a system!"

Since Chinese programming is to be completely independent from English programming, Xu Lin has to develop an independent system. Moreover, when he develops artificial intelligence, it will have to run on this system, meaning this system is born specifically for AI.

What is a system? In computers, there are systems like Windows, Linux, and Apple’s Mac, and in phones, Android and iOS. All are well-known systems, with Linux being less familiar to the public and more developer-centric.

Of course, developing a system isn’t as easy as you might imagine.

For instance, the Windows system was developed by a team of several thousands over many years with immeasurable costs.

Developing a system independently is almost impossible.

But it’s not entirely impossible.

As long as it’s for personal amusement and running your software programs, it becomes much simpler.

Systems like Windows are all about the ecosystem. You must have developers creating for your system, otherwise, the market won’t use your system, and developing it would be pointless. This involves both software and ecological aspects, but also hardware support issues.

A system is the entire ecosystem of software and hardware, so it’s not something that can be produced merely at will.

But Xu Lin doesn’t need to think about these complex problems.

Because Xu Lin is basically for personal amusement.

Furthermore, systems like Windows and Android are general-purpose operating systems. In contrast, simpler systems are specialized, requiring fewer codelines, much less than the millions or tens of millions lines of code general-purpose systems require, making the workload vastly smaller.

Xu Lin is currently multitasking on four fronts, typing code for two computers simultaneously with both hands. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Coupled with his impressive mental abilities.

Extraordinary Memory, a gift for learning, and an extremely fast typing speed.

Xu Lin thinks, everything is possible.

Even, if using his feet...

"No, using feet on the keyboard is too inelegant."

Xu Lin decided against using his legs.

Over the next three days, Xu Lin spent a total of forty-six hours successfully completing the "Hou Yi" Chinese programming language.

Done!

"Next, I’m going to use Hou Yi to build a computer operating system!"

Xu Lin begins immediately.

Recently, he’s addicted, entering a state of mind where women don’t exist.

He ignores everyone, fully focusing on his work.

Though Ning Yuhuan stopped by three times to cook for Xu Lin.

After cooking and waiting for Xu Lin to finish eating, she washed the dishes and then returned to school.

She is very thoughtful and doesn’t disturb Xu Lin.

She doesn’t know what Xu Lin is doing but knows it’s important, or he wouldn’t have stayed there during this period.

On the 11th day, Xu Lin begins working on his personal operating system.

This kind of personal system... how many lines of code does it need? Sometimes only a few thousand or hundred lines.

But the system Xu Lin is researching is more complex, because those systems with hundreds or thousands of lines of code are used to run specific programs or control certain hardware, so they don’t require much code.

But Xu Lin is going to run artificial intelligence.

How many lines can a programmer write in a day?

Those advanced ones can write over 100 lines a day, making it tens of thousands in a year.

Of course, excluding copy-pasting.

And Xu Lin?

Don’t treat him as a normal human.

He’s like a cheat.

Now, using both hands simultaneously, with one hand per computer, his speed is fast enough to leave afterimages, seemingly not even needing to think.
