The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 5 What is the core technology?

My father frowned and sat upright, staring at the TV screen, sitting there like a sculpture.

He didn't even look at Zhang Zhipeng.

While Zhang Zhipeng was eating, he was thinking about how to ease the relationship with his father.

"Dad, I'm going to take the self-study exam for the mechanical automation major at NPU." Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile.

After Zhang Qingmin heard this, he glanced sideways at his son and said, "You can make up your own mind, I can't control you."

Mother happened to bring a glass of water and put it in front of Zhang Zhipeng.

Hearing Zhang Qingmin's answer, she said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it a good thing for my son to make progress?"

"My son is discussing something with you, can you act like a father?"

Zhang Qingmin softened his attitude.

"What's wrong with me? Didn't I say it? He's an adult and he has to make his own decisions!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Dad, I know that I did a lot of bad things in the past, which made you very disappointed in me. But my son is now mature and responsible."

"Don't worry! From now on, I will make a clean break with my past self!"

"I will study hard, work hard, and strive to become the pride of your elder brother!"

Zhang Zhipeng's words are unequivocal.

The style of these words is definitely completely different from his past.

Zhang Qingmin and his wife were both a little moved. Their son had never said anything like this before.

Is this really a time to change your mind and start a new life?
  There is a saying that the prodigal son returns with gold. In fact, although this son is naughty and mischievous, he is still very filial and has not done anything too outrageous. In the past, the fights outside were caused by brotherly loyalty.

Zhang Qingmin was surprised and happy.

But his face was still expressionless, and he said: "Zhipeng, I don't ask you to become a successful person, or to glorify your ancestors!"

"As long as you can sit upright and behave upright, your mother and I will be satisfied!"

Zhang Zhipeng saw the change in his father's heart. He smiled and said, "It doesn't make sense no matter how much I say now."

"Dad, just watch how I behave in the future."

Zhang Qingmin nodded and said, "Okay! I hope you won't disappoint me and your mother again in the future."

The atmosphere at home finally relaxed a lot.

After eating something, Zhang Zhipeng went to wash the dishes and then took a shower.

He said good night to his parents and returned to his room.

By this time, it was already past 10 pm.

Zhang Zhipeng naturally couldn't sleep yet.

He looked at a small bookshelf in the room and found a book of Cihai.

This thing is just a reference book, probably bought by his father when he was in junior high school.

Zhang Zhipeng leaned on the bed and started flipping through the big dictionary.

The dictionary has its own search system.

What Zhang Zhipeng needs to master is its search system and query rules.

As expected, the reverse engineering system began to work again.

A progress bar appeared in his mind.

This progress bar began to speed up as he flipped through the dictionary, summarized the rules, and became familiar with the retrieval principles. At the same time, a solution using programming algorithms to solve the combined retrieval of input method words and short sentences also appeared in his mind. He has not finished reading this dictionary, and his application skills of Chinese language knowledge have reached the intermediate level.

[Congratulations to the host! Your application of Chinese language knowledge has reached the professional intermediate level! 】

Zhang Zhipeng breathed a sigh of relief. It is quite remarkable to be able to reach the intermediate level of professional Chinese language application skills.

Looking at the time, it's already past two in the morning.

There were footsteps outside the door, followed by a gentle knock on the door.

It was my mother's voice: "Xiaopeng, are you still awake?"

"What are you doing? What time is it, and you don't even know what time it is?"

Zhang Zhipeng hurriedly said: "Mom, I read the book for a while, but I was fascinated by it. I want to go to bed now."

He put down Cihai, turned out the light, and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

The mother returned to the room, pushed her husband and said, "My son knows how to work hard now. He is still reading at this point."

Zhang Qingmin turned over and said angrily: "I'm probably reading a martial arts novel!"

"It's a serious book, but he falls asleep when he reads it, and I don't know him yet?!"

Wang Yuqin said: "As long as he likes to read, that's a good thing! I'll have to ask Zhiling to have a heart-to-heart talk with him later, give him some guidance, and try to get him to pass the exam!"

……

For several days, Zhang Zhipeng has been concentrating on improving himself.

He leaves early every day and comes home late every day. When no one is in the computer room, he works on the computer by himself to think about programming.

More than ten days later, his programming level has been improved to the level of a full-scale senior programming engineer. He can skillfully use C language, C++ language, SQL language, assembly language, etc. for programming. This is probably the magic of the system.

Of course, in addition to programming, he also personally disassembled and reassembled the computer case and monitor several times when no one was in the computer room.

This gave him a deep understanding of computer hardware. This gave him the level of a senior computer hardware engineer. But to be honest, even so, his understanding of the deeper hardware of computers can only be regarded as a superficial grasp.

In fact, there is nothing in the computer host case.

The main components are: power supply, motherboard, CPU, memory, hard disk, sound card, graphics card, network card, optical drive, floppy drive, and radiator.

The most important configurations are the CPU, memory and hard drive, which are the technical core of the computer, and the others are auxiliary accessories.

Of these three, the CPU is the most important.

It is the computing center and control center of the computer. Its main function is to interpret computer instructions and process data in computer software. The performance of a computer is mainly determined by the CPU.

This is the core technology of computers.

The CPU is a very large integrated circuit, and the integrated circuit is also known as a chip.

CPU is a kind of processor chip, in addition to graphics processor chip (GPU), digital signal processor (dsp), microcontroller (MCU), etc...

In the final analysis, chips are actually the lowest and core technological product of information technology!

At present, the entire set of high-precision core technologies for this thing are in the hands of Western countries led by Yingjiang.

So, the chip is really the core of the core.

However, under the current circumstances, Zhang Zhipeng did not dare to dismantle the CPU chip in the computer. Because, after this thing is dismantled, it will be difficult to restore it.

So, it's really a shame.

When Zhang Zhipeng changed his mind and devoted himself to studying and improving himself, he did not know that he had already stirred up a storm in the Department of Aircraft Engineering.
