Chapter 389 A Miracle of Understatement

To be honest, Li Yan is actually a little afraid of system development.

After all, his greatest confidence comes from the fact that the system's numerical values ​​crush the difficulty of the current task.

If it fails to crush others or is even not enough, this confidence will collapse instantly.

It can only be forcibly transferred into the confidence that loans “will definitely improve”.

Everything we did before actually had some room for failure and retreat.

Whether it's paintings, novels, online articles, etc., even if the submission fails, it's not a big loss for him.

At most, it can be used as a judgment of skill level.

As for various competitions, Li Yan participated in them under a state of suppressed ability, and the awards could be given out when she decided to participate.

The computer competition was a bit challenging, but Li Yan happened to be improving all the way, so when it came time to take on the challenge, she felt no pressure at all.

System development is not like that. The attention, difficulty, and cost are not comparable to previous challenges.

He was not very nervous when he was working on the demonstration. At that time, he still had a way out. Even if the final result was not satisfactory, it was just blocking one of the millions of avenues.

After the concept phone demonstration created a huge sensation, Li Yan was the most nervous.

But there was no way back, he had to succeed, and no matter what, he had to appear confident.

Even if he had to take an unconventional approach in his first confrontation with Mai Wen, he still had to convey the confidence that "I, Li, can do anything."

However, as his computer skills had surpassed 60%, Li Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

It's great to be able to start showing off about system development.

He is more afraid of being slapped in the face than anyone else.

Now it has exceeded 70%, and I can sleep well every day.

That's what he originally thought.

It was not until he faced the computer screen and didn't even want to attend the weekly meeting on Mondays that he felt the strong power of the mountains with the surging sea of ​​clouds.

What was once an impossible code to write is now commonplace, and Li Yan can be said to be able to optimize the operating kernel with ease.

As the saying goes, a little effort can achieve great results. Deletions are done with boldness, additions are made lightly, and corrections are made with ease.

The massive amount of code was instantly broken down into very specific workloads. Li Yan had a clear idea of ​​how much to do every day and what the progress was.

Even how long you will sit in front of the computer every day can be estimated.

After thinking about it, he decided to further optimize the division of labor and directly cut all the projects with lower "cost-effectiveness".

Then we notified all the team leaders in a timely manner, with a simple sentence: "Stop working on those projects that have not been completed or have not reached more than two-thirds of the progress."

The team leaders were left guessing in the lab for the whole day.

There was also an uproar at Mai Wen's place. Someone angrily rushed into Mai Wen's office and started shouting:
"What does Li Yan mean? Do it when you're told to, and don't do it when you're told not to?"

Mai Wen was flipping through something with a serious look on his face.

"Boss Mai, this is not the way to play with him. After all, he is just a child. Children's tempers cannot change. He says one thing today and another thing tomorrow. He is so willful..."

Seeing that Mai Wen was as still as a mountain, the visitor spoke in a more serious tone:
"Boss Mai, Li Yan is messing around, you can't follow him and do the same!"

Mai Wen finally spoke, "Random...Have you seen the content of the project he cut?"

"Of course I have seen it, otherwise how would I know that I was chopped?"

"I mean all of them." Mai Wen shook the promised document in his hand, "All of them that he cut off."

"This one is gone."

"I don't know if you have the ability to consider the overall design of this kernel," Mai Wen said in a very serious tone. "I compared the projects he cut with the ones he kept, and there is still some pattern."

"Hmm?" The man's momentum weakened by seven points.

"The content that was cut was relatively unimportant, and the functions that were implemented were also relatively fragmented. At least in the initial division of labor, this batch of content was considered to have 'room for optimization.'" Mai Wen sighed, "At least, I can see the extent to which it can be optimized."

The visitor frowned.

"You may not know this yet, but the code project submitted by 200 people, including the R&D team of Chuangzu, was integrated and modified by Li Yan alone."

"How is this possible!" The visitor shook his head repeatedly. "According to what you said, I think we are working in vain."

“I’ve seen his work.”

Hearing the complex emotions in Mai Wen's words, the visitor couldn't help but reveal an expression ranging from surprise to horror.

"Perhaps," Mai Wen continued, "he made such a reduction because he already knew how to optimize it. This kid...how come he has reached a higher level..."

The visitor was confused and stunned.

"So," Mai Wen knocked on the table, "don't make a fuss. Be respectful of things you don't understand."

As for Future Technology, Sun Miao replaced Shang Jie as the number one Li Yan fan.

When everyone was puzzled by Li Yan's decision, Sun Miao was always very proactive in saying "just do it", which made Shang Jie very curious, and he even pulled Sun Miao to the corridor to chat during lunch break.

"What's wrong, Brother Miao? What did you talk about with the boss? You look so different."

Sun Miao recalled the stunning glimpse he had last night and was speechless.

"It's so strong that I'm hallucinating," Sun Miao said, "Shang Gong, don't you think Mr. Li is sometimes... not quite human?"

"In terms of ability, I never really considered him a human being."

"We may not be talking about the same thing." Sun Miao whispered.

"Hey, Brother Miao, I actually care about one thing."

Sun Miao immediately pricked up his ears and suddenly became very nervous.

I was looking forward to Shang Jie sharing his "hallucination", but I was also worried that "Li Yan is not a human" would come true.

In ancient times, Ye Gong liked dragons, and today, Sun Miao likes ghosts.

"Why did Mr. Li specifically ask for the hurdle of 'not reaching two-thirds of the progress'? What's the explanation for continuing after reaching two-thirds?"

Sun Miao breathed a sigh of relief, but inexplicably felt a little disappointed.

"I'm not sure about that. You might as well ask Mr. Li yourself."

"it is good."

So as soon as he got to work in the afternoon, Shang Jie went into Li Yan's office.

Somehow, Li Yan's keyboard was not typing away like crazy as before, nor did she find her boss working out when she came in. Instead, she sat steadily in front of the computer, concentrating on the task at hand.

Everything seemed very normal, but it put more pressure on Shang Jie.

Li Yan answered Shang Jie's question very directly:
"If we still have more than one-third of the work to do as planned, I might as well start from scratch and save some manpower."

Is this how manpower is saved? ...

Shang Jie had witnessed Li Yan's fighting ability, and he had no doubts about his boss's bold words, so he accepted this statement no matter how he listened to it.

But he couldn't help but ask another question:

"Boss Li, then... after stopping the mission you mentioned, the team I'm in charge of has basically completed the work assigned to us at the beginning. Is the Luoshen core still on the original planned time node?"

In fact, what he wanted to ask was, the tasks assigned to everyone to increase sales are similar, can you really complete it by yourself by the end of November?
"Maybe we can bring it forward a little bit, see if I have any other plans."

This guy is really showing off.

Shang Jie was worried that Li Yan couldn't complete the task. After all, there were millions of lines of code. It was extremely difficult to modify and adjust it by himself, and find bugs. There was only half a month left until the end of November. Even if Li Yan had iron hands, he would probably knock out sparks.

As a result, Li Yan said that it could be advanced?
It depends on his arrangement?

How come you still have other plans and time to do other things?
"Mr. Li, what I mean is that if there is anything we can help you with and it can reduce your workload, we are happy to help."

"Tell me if you need me. I can finish it now."

Having said that, Shang Jie didn't know what to say anymore.

He returned to the laboratory, was silent for a long time, and said: "Just wait for a miracle."

Cao Haibin put on his coat and walked to the balcony to smoke a cigarette.

Everyone showed some twists and turns.

Of course they are all proud, and in most environments, they are considered rare elites.

People choose to come to the future technology either because they feel their talents are not appreciated or because they are pursuing self-realization. They all have a tendency to seek value.

Even on the top platforms, some people choose to leave because they are "buried".

Working for a startup company like Future Technology is naturally for the purpose of showing one's talents.

For them, it is difficult to accept that their existence and contribution have become a bit assembly line, or even dispensable.

In the past, he would have left cursing.

"What a rubbish boss and what a stupid company. They wasted my time and energy. Fortunately, I stopped the loss in time."

This is probably what they would post on Weibo after they leave their jobs.

As a result, everyone now clearly expressed their uncomfortable emotions, but no one mentioned leaving.

Because the opportunity to change history is right before our eyes, no one pursuing self-realization will give up the chance to leave their name in history.

They met a god-like boss. They loved and worshipped him because he was god-like enough, but they were jealous of him, hated him and did not accept him because he was too god-like.

The prouder you are in your heart, the more difficult it is to adjust to your current state.

For example, the madman Cao Haibin believes from the bottom of his heart that Li Yan is awesome, but precisely because of this he cannot be mad at all, and this makes him extremely uncomfortable.

But he had to accept this discomfort.

A gentleman will not bow down for a few pieces of silver, but he will bow down to leave his name in history.

When he thought of this, he felt that his so-called "pride" was ridiculous.

"I don't have any reason to be proud," Cao Haibin rarely showed his cynicism. "Once Zhou Yang and Li Guangde come, my so-called hardware experience will be worth nothing."

Chen Fan happened to come to Future Technology in the afternoon. Because he was asked too many questions about Li Yan's marathon in the physical education class, he simply skipped class and came to see Future Technology on a weekday.

He has completely accepted his role as a relative in the Jiaolong mobile phone project.

There was no other way. Chen Fan tried to catch up with the progress through his own efforts, but Li Yan evolved too fast and did not leave him any chance at all.

He could only study ultra-high compression algorithms with a few Huada brothers who had no idea what was going on here.

He Zixiang and his brothers often asked Chen Fan with concern: "Won't you help Yan Shen share some of the burden?"

Is that something I can share?
Then Chen Fan saw everyone who was in a bad mood in the laboratory.

Each of them looks uncomfortable.

After a few words of communication, he understood.

Then, an inexplicable emotion suddenly came over me: "Yes! That's the feeling!"

It's the same excitement as when Marvel's Loki saw Thor being knocked down by Hulk.

Oh, it hasn’t been filmed yet.

I don’t know whether the parallel world will be filmed.

When Chen Fan walked towards Li Yan's office, his steps were much lighter.

I would feel uncomfortable if I were the only one who couldn't catch up with you. But I wouldn't feel uncomfortable if no one could catch up with you.

This feeling of being crushed by the geniuses around me will be something I can relate to in the future.

When Li Yan saw Chen Fan coming, her expression finally changed and she looked a little happier.

But when Li Yan heard that Chen Fan wanted to see how he would advance his current work, he became worried again.

Don't make Chen Fan cry again. If you do this over and over again, it will be bad if the string in his heart really breaks.

"It's okay, just show off. I want to see you show off now. The more you show off, the better."

"I expect to complete the Luoshen core on November 11th."

Chen Fan didn't react.

"Hmm? I've already finished talking about the best."

"I know you can."

Well, it looks like the transformation is complete.

Li Yan laughed. As he became more and more powerful, the people around him would always follow this path.

From questioning, to praise, to negative emotions, then admiration, and finally getting used to it.

Maybe one day Li Yan is really bragging and his relatives and friends won’t be able to tell the difference.

In a relatively calm mood, Li Yan methodically advanced the writing of the Luoshen kernel. At the same time, he arranged in advance for those who were in charge of future technology to start the preliminary preparations for the development of the Hetu system.

What made everyone most nervous was the job that Li Yan assigned to Wang Zi - recruitment.

Future Technology is going to expand, and the two slacking guys in the Xin'an Gang have a strong sense of crisis. Unfortunately, their big brother Shang Jie, whom they once relied on, is not sure if he can stay here.

In fact, no one was sure they would be able to stay.

After all, along the way, Li Yan herself is the only one who is indispensable to future technology.

Everyone knows that the "miracle" of the completion of the Luoshen core is about to be realized, and the day it is realized will surely attract more investment and stronger team attention.

In the last few days of November, the employees of Future Technology were unusually united, inexplicably showing a kind of friendship between classmates who were about to graduate.

No matter what their relationship was like or how they viewed each other in the past, they now sympathize with each other.

On November 11, Li Yan called Li Guangde and Zhou Yang.

When these two big guys appeared at the conference table of Future Technology on November 11, everyone knew that the miracle they had been waiting for had come.

"Everyone, the Luoshen kernel has been completed. I will try my best to provide sufficient convenience for the subsequent development of the Hetu system." Li Yan said calmly, "I don't plan to hold a press conference for the kernel, but I will do some publicity through Professor Mai, which should attract some investment. This is just a preliminary result, and the Jiaolong mobile phone is our goal. I will recruit some more talents to make the company a certain size, and I hope everyone will devote themselves to the subsequent system development work."

No, that's it?
Everyone in the meeting looked at each other, even Zhou Yang and Li Guangde had puzzled expressions.

This is a fucking self-developed kernel, developed from scratch, a completely self-developed kernel.

It was completed in such a short time, and it was so easy to turn the page?
No matter what, as the person who created the miracle, Li Yan should be excited!

But he looked so calm as if he had just left home.

There was no demonstration, no explanation, and no period for comments. It was so unquestionable, as if all the preparations that everyone took for granted had been completed.

"I have already made a detailed division of labor for the system development work. I will have to discuss the hardware with Engineer Zhou, Teacher Li, and Engineer Cao later. The time node has not changed. The Hetu system will be completed before New Year's Day."

Zhou Yang and Li Guangde looked at each other and felt as if they had come to a very extraordinary place.
