Chapter 124: Reactions and Promotion

Qian Yongxing sat in front of his computer, quietly staring at Legion Ant Company’s official website. He was waiting for Legion Ant Company’s big announcement.

Many media outlets were now focused on the spy incident, eager to dig up all the dark history of the Island Nation. But as one of Huaxia’s leading tech media reporters, he cared about the latest developments in technology. Following the latest tech developments and trends was what he needed to do most.

There was one minute left.

Qian Yongxing sat up straight, waiting for Legion Ant Company’s big news. Seizing the opportunity was the most important thing.

Other reporters, just like him, were also watching Legion Ant Company’s official website.

The time came.

Qian Yongxing quickly refreshed the webpage. A large headline appeared on Legion Ant Company’s official website.

“Chinese Character Programming Language”

When he saw this title, Qian Yongxing’s pupils shrank.

Chinese Character Programming Language? The name itself sounded very impressive. But the first thing that popped into his head was Easy Language.

Easy Language was Huaxia’s first computer programming language. It was created by Mr. Wu Tao and used Chinese for programming. Its core was written in C++, evolving from “C-like languages.”

In terms of syntax, Easy Language was similar to programming languages like JAVA, C, and C++. But this language wasn’t fully developed yet, and not many people noticed it.

Now Legion Ant Company created a second Chinese character programming language? This was definitely huge news.

After just a moment of shock, Qian Yongxing immediately clicked into the article.

Seeing the long list of keywords and data types, Qian Yongxing rubbed his temples.

These were just some basic things. But they didn’t understand the application of these data types and couldn’t see what was so great about it.

This was a newborn baby. They didn’t know what it looked like or how to use it.

He didn’t understand. How could he write an article about this?

Not just him, but others who clicked into the article were also completely confused.

Chinese Character Programming Language sounded impressive, but it was brand new. Legion Ant Company only released keywords and data types. How was it supposed to be used?

After struggling for a long time, Qian Yongxing could only log into the media platform and repost the article published by Legion Ant Company.

“Legion Ant Releases Chinese Character Programming Language.”

As soon as the news went online, it immediately attracted many netizens.

This programming language was also fully Chinese, cross-platform, and required no English. It was similar to Easy Language, but fundamentally different. Just like BASIC and C++, both were programming languages but of different types.

Legion Ant Company hadn’t released usage instructions yet, which made many people curious. Easy Language had been around for over a decade but still wasn’t widely adopted. What confidence did Legion Ant Company have to promote this computer language?

Recently, Legion Ant Company was very popular. News involving Legion Ant Company was instinctively clicked by netizens, whether it was positive or negative.

“Based on the pattern, shorter news means bigger deal?”

“What is this Chinese Character Programming Language? Isn’t there already a fully Chinese computer programming language, Easy Language?”

“Clueless bystanders!”

The comments under the news were mixed. As the first article about the Chinese Character Programming Language appeared, other media outlets that were paying attention also joined in the reporting.

“Foreigners Are Shocked! The Second Chinese Computer Programming Language” – Squirrel Headlines

“Chen Mo Creates Chinese Character Programming Language” – Southern News

“The Pride of Binhai City!” – Binhai Daily

Legion Ant Company only released keywords and data types without publishing usage methods, which thrilled many anti-fans.

“What’s the use? Develop a domestic operating system.”

“They don’t even say how to use this. Who would want this thing?”

“Instead of spending money researching useless stuff, why not donate the money to the poor?”

…

As soon as Legion Ant Company made this announcement, it overshadowed the recently heated spy incident. Legion Ant Company developed too fast. Every time it appeared, it became the focus of public attention.

Soon, some experts also jumped on the bandwagon.

“Legion Ant’s Chinese Character Programming Language is useless: First, Easy Language has been developing for nearly twenty years and isn’t fully mature yet. How many years will this one need to develop? Who will develop it? Second, Chinese is not a universal language. Computer programming languages are hard to promote.

Third, even if software is designed, will it be compatible with computer systems? Chen Mo is just a recent graduate. After achieving a little success, he has lost his direction?”

These words immediately caused an uproar. These days, there were many people seeking attention and many who would stop at nothing to become famous.

Chen Mo didn’t know how lively the internet was. At that moment, he was looking at the three people Wang Hai brought. Chen Mo had asked Wang Hai to contact any retired team members, and today he finally brought them over.

Two men and one woman, each looked very sharp.

“Chairman, the people you asked for are all here. They were all in the same team as me, retired due to injuries. A Nan, Black Eagle, White Pearl are their nicknames…”

A Nan was very tall, about 1.9 meters, and was the strongest of the four. Black Eagle had sharp eyes. Chen Mo suspected he was a sniper. White Pearl had very fair skin and short hair, looking valiant and heroic.

All three were very capable. In a crowd, they would stand out the most. This was very different from Wang Hai, because Wang Hai seemed more like an ordinary person.

“In the future, company security will implement strict military management. From now on, you will be responsible for the training and management of the company’s security guards. It’s all handed over to you, and you’ll also take on bodyguard duties,” Chen Mo said.

After a series of troubles, the company needed a dedicated security team to strengthen security. Otherwise, there would always be troublesome matters bothering him.

“Wang Hai, take them to the HR department to report. Someone will arrange your work,” Chen Mo said.

Not long after the four left, Zhao Min walked in.

“Chairman, you asked for me?”

“Nothing major happened, right?” Chen Mo asked.

“What major thing could happen?” Zhao Min was amused. “That Chinese Character Programming Language of yours is quite a hot topic.”

“Here are the complete set of books and compiler for learning the Chinese Character Programming Language. All materials are free. Take them and release them publicly. Then have all the company’s software developers learn it. Employees who master the Chinese Character Programming Language get a 5% salary increase.

Also, apply to the government for a ‘Chinese Character Programming Language Environment’ project. See if we can collaborate with Binhai University to start an experimental class on Chinese character programming for computers. At the same time, post a recruitment notice for employees who have learned the Chinese Character Programming Language.” Chen Mo handed a USB drive to Zhao Min.

The Chinese Character Programming Language was already fully perfected with Ink Girl’s help. Releasing the materials online for free would help promote learning and prepare for future recruitment and talent selection.

His current goal was to create an environment for learning the Chinese Character Programming Language and then promote it for free.

People bustle about for profit.

Only by letting people see the prospects of the Chinese Character Programming Language would they be willing to learn it.

“Okay, can you tell me the reason for doing this?” Zhao Min asked.

“Put it this way, programs developed with the Chinese Character Programming Language run faster and are more secure,” Chen Mo said.

He remembered what Elder Shu said: if you see artificial intelligence as a living being, the programming language is its genetic code.

Releasing this language sooner was better than later. The ecosystem of a language required support from many people. Hoarding it alone wasn’t very useful.

“Then I’ll go arrange it now.”
