Chapter 106: Problem

“Teacher Lin, I’ve seen the positional control program. There’s no problem.” Li Chengqian did not find any problem after reading the source code.

Although this set of code was much less efficient than the space station control program he wrote, its functions were faultless.

This was a space station software after all. Under normal circumstances, it must have undergone a lot of testing. No one dared to take any chances with something like this.

After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Lin Xiong’s disappointment was written all over his face.

Li Chengqian then continued to say, “Teacher Lin, I think the problem might lie in the core code or the driver.”

The positional control program is run on the core code of the space station.

Finally, the driver controlled the hardware of the space station by following the instructions of the code.

“Can I take a look at the core code of this system, and the driver?”

“Sure, but the core code and driver were written in assembly language…” In fact, Lin Xiong had already suspected that the issue might lie with the core code and driver after having checked the control program many times and not finding any issues.

However, the core code and driver were written in assembly language. It was extremely difficult to interpret and understand. The original system developer was already looking for bugs, but it would take at least two months to complete. Even then, he might not be able to isolate the problem.

“Teacher Lin, I actually understand assembly language too,” Li Chengqian said calmly.

“Here, this is the system core code.”

“This is the driver of the relevant equipment.”

“Li Chengqian, after looking at the code, I think you already know what this program is for.”

Seeing Li Chengqian nod, Lin Xiong said solemnly, “You must keep this a secret. You must not tell anyone.”

“The code has to be kept a secret too. It can’t be leaked.” If the source code was leaked and someone found a loophole and attacked it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about this.” Li Chengqian naturally knew the seriousness of the matter.

“Li Chengqian, try to interpret the core code and the driver. It doesn’t matter even if you don’t find any problems.” Writing a program in assembly language was a completely different ball game from interpreting a program written in assembly language.

Interpreting was ten times harder than writing, and this was even with annotation.

Without annotation, trying to find a bug was not much different from trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Lin Xiong had already considered it.

The work day would end in an hour’s time. If they still couldn’t find a solution, he would activate the backup plan.

After all, Li Chengqian needed to do an on-site software interview tomorrow. He needed to be prepared. This matter was also very important.

Li Chengqian’s gaze landed on the two documents that Lin Xiong had pulled out.

With the enhancement of the Skill, he quickly browsed through it.

He could comprehend the codes at a glance. Anyone else would have been perplexed by the codes.

There were not many core codes in the space station operating system. Ten minutes later, he finished reading all the core codes.

In his mind, he had already mentally run the control program on the core codes once.
