The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2009 Karen
Online nickname: Karen!

The first time it appeared in the public eye was more than ten years ago. A company whose main business was network security, in order to promote and prove the strength of its own technology, invited hackers from all over the world and said that as long as they could break through the firewall of their server, they could get virtual currency worth tens of millions placed on the server.

The high prize money, which can be obtained safely, attracted many masters to come and challenge, but they were defeated one after another, including some well-known masters.

This attracted many technology experts who came one after another just to break through the firewall and prove the strength of their technology.

However, this invisible and intangible network firewall was like a solid wall of steel, causing the masters who rushed up to crash into it and suffer heavy blows.

Just when all the famous computer experts were at a loss, the firewall that was considered indestructible by people in the industry was suddenly breached, and the other party's speed was so fast that no one could react. The virtual currency was taken away, leaving only a name in the server:
KAREN!

This ordinary, unremarkable name rose to fame and soon became known around the world.

This was Karen's battle to become famous, but what made Karen ascend to the altar was the day after the offensive and defensive battle. She released more than ten "hacking" software on the hacker forum. Not only did she share them for free, but she also opened the source code, letting everyone know how she broke through the firewall.

It's not just that his computer technology is superb, but also because the software he uses, its structure and algorithm are very advanced.

How to put it, if before this, programmers all over the world used woodblock printing, then Karen was using movable type printing.

The efficiency of programming can be said to be a world of difference, the speed difference is not even a little bit, which shocked the "hackers" so much that their eyes almost fell to the ground, and they suddenly realized, "Ah, it turns out that programs can be written like this."

So, everyone began to "refer to" Karen's data structure and use her open source algorithm to write programs. After actual testing, they found that it was indeed very powerful.

After that, Karen uploaded hundreds of software, each of which was three or four times more efficient than similar software.

The most important thing is that Karen did not keep such an efficient program and powerful algorithm to herself, but opened the source code and shared it with the world for free.

It is no exaggeration to say that the progress this has brought to the Internet and computer industries is unparalleled.

Because this has opened up a whole new track for programmers all over the world. They no longer need to "build blocks" as before, but can wield big scissors like gardeners and cut at will.

Before Karen was open sourced, programmers all over the world were dancing on a "shit mountain". The longer a project iteration took, the more complex and inefficient the code became. There was even a joke circulating among the people: The shit mountain will be passed down for generations, and will remain silent from generation to generation.

Every "inheritance" will leave behind a large number of problems, and the person who takes over generally will not, let alone dare to, touch the previous code, but will make targeted repairs. Even if you know there is a bug, as long as the program can run, don't change it, because you don't know which line of code this bug will involve, or which code was written a year ago and has no comments.

The most famous example is an online version of a stand-alone game, which took 10 to 20 minutes to load. Even the highest-configured computers could not shorten this loading time. It was later discovered that this was because an IF loop looped nearly 2 billion times, and then nothing happened. This problem has not been fixed in more than seven years.

This is not just because the programmers are lazy and just get by, but it involves too many aspects. Changing a code will cause a bunch of bugs, which is too common in daily operations. Therefore, unless they are very talented newcomers, no one dares to change the basic architecture, because this is not a matter of typing on the keyboard and rewriting a code, but a chain reaction.

To change the underlying structure is like pulling out a building block from the bottom of a skyscraper model and then replacing it with a new one. Before success, no one knows whether removing this building block will cause the building to collapse. Even if it does not collapse, whether the new building block will fit as tightly as the original one or cause the surrounding building blocks to become crooked.

In short, once it comes to the underlying architecture of the shitty code, it cannot be overemphasized. It is no exaggeration to say that even changing a line of core code is a terrifying thing, so everyone will not change it if they can, and will not move it if they can. If that doesn't work, they will just apply patches. They would rather pile up patches than change the code.

But all these problems were solved as Karen continued to open source the code. Everyone suddenly realized that the code could be modified in this way. They could wield the scissors unscrupulously, cut out the useless, redundant, and inefficient codes, and then connect the new efficient codes.

This is simply.
So invincible.

For the entire industry, the programs written by Karen are so advanced that it is no exaggeration to say that they are a dimensionality reduction attack. Compared with them, everything we have learned and mastered in the past is basically no different from garbage.

Some were devastated and depressed, while others studied with shining eyes. Karen's fame also rose with the spread of Karen structure and Karen algorithm. It soon became widely known and received high praise from both inside and outside the industry. After all, who doesn't like something that is useful and free?

As a result, the Karen structure and Karen algorithm have been widely used, and Karen also updates its algorithms and structures from time to time to make the program more efficient. As a result, it has become one of the cornerstones of human networks and technology today. Although it is not the only one, it is a very important one, supporting the increasingly large network world.

Over the past decade, too many people and organizations have wanted to catch a glimpse of Karen, but no one knows her identity, not even the most basic information about whether she is a man or a woman. More than one person and organization have tried to obtain Karen's identity information or even her IP address, but all to no avail. They were immediately counterattacked by Karen and suffered heavy losses.

After a while, no one dared to do it in a high-profile manner, which made Karen's identity even more mysterious and gave Karen a legendary veil.

Some say Karen is actually a group of people, some say Karen is an alien, and some say.
Only Ye Rui firmly believed that Karen was a girl, and he transliterated the only online nickname Karen left as "Karen", which also became Karen's registration code within TPC.

And Nori is one of the very few people who can communicate with Karen, also known as Kallen, like a friend, and he has more than once spoken of Karen's greatness in an admiring tone.

You know, Ye Rui is a young genius in the field of computer science, a super genius that is one in a billion. He was admitted by Ju Jianhui as an exception when he was only in his third year of high school, joined the Victory Team, and became the youngest member.

There is also such a super genius like Mai Midorikawa. She broke the highest record of TPC skills test at the age of 16. Even Nori admits that Mai Midorikawa's talent is not inferior to his. What she lacks now is only experience. In time, she will definitely surpass him.

But even these two young geniuses admired Karin so much, and both believed that if they worked hard they still had a chance to surpass the other, but they would never be able to catch up with Karin.

In Nori's words, the stronger the ability, the more he feels like a towering figure when facing Kallen.

To use an inappropriate metaphor to describe it, this is like a frog, who went through untold hardships and finally climbed out of a deep well, thinking he could see the whole sky, only to discover that the world outside was so vast. However, beyond this world, there is an even vaster universe, and there are universes beyond the universe.

Karen is like that. You worked hard for a long time and finally learned the linear equation of two variables, only to find that others were doing calculus problems.

No wonder Kallen is called God, the God of the Internet!!!

It is really far beyond what is possible. The gap between him and ordinary people is so huge that it cannot be made up by hard work. Even with talent, it is difficult to achieve.

Listening to Nori's endless narration of Kallen's feat, Asuka Shin couldn't help but sneer and asked, "Is it that exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all." Ye Rui said seriously, "This is just what I know."

"If that's the case, then there must be something wrong here." Da Gu also became serious, but he was thinking about the crux of the problem. If this Kallen had such a terrible ability, then the company she was in charge of would definitely be an iron wall, indestructible, and no one would be able to do anything under her nose.

This means that if there is a problem with this company called Faibas, it is either the work of an internal employee or Kallen. Of course, it is also possible that aliens used methods beyond the cognition and even imagination of Earthlings to quietly enter the Earth's network and spread information.

"Then just investigate and you'll know." Asuka Shin interrupted. His ideas were always simple and crude. Since XXX was a suspect, then just investigate.

This also made Dagu feel quite helpless, and he said: "How can it be so simple."

"Huh? Is it very troublesome?" Asuka Shin was even more confused. Both the Super Victory Team and the Space Adventure Team had global mission authority.

In simple terms, the Super Victory Team can "freely" go to any location, carry weapons, drive fighter jets, and even mobilize local armed forces for coordination.

This is also the reason why Chief of Staff Nanyun tried his best to take the Super Victory Team into his possession. Such power is limitless.

In the past, they were called special envoys and imperial commissioners. As for the fact that they only had such rights against aliens and monsters, it was too easy to find reasons and excuses.

After all, if it is placed in the tube and no one is allowed to touch it, who can know whether it is laundry detergent or something else? It all depends on what the person holding it says.

"Karen's only identity information is her name, and no one has found her whereabouts for more than ten years.

Faisal is a Fortune 50 company, and we can’t just check it if we want to, especially when it involves the company’s core secrets.”

Da Gu had to give Asuka Shin some "popular science" that although the Super Victory Team and the Space Adventure Team had great power, not everything could be solved by just one rule.

Otherwise, if the law is enacted, there should be no criminals.

If it's a general identity check, people may still cooperate with you, but this requires a comprehensive and in-depth inspection of the Faisbas server.

It not only involves user data, but also the company's core secrets such as algorithms and game source code. This is equivalent to flipping through a person's browsing history on a nationwide live broadcast.

Even if there is solid evidence, the other party will definitely obstruct it layer by layer, not to mention that it is just a guess now. If you go like this, then people will definitely look at you as a fool and then drive you out without mercy, even if you are a member of the Super Victory Team.

After listening to Da Gu's story, Asuka Shin also scratched his head and said, "So that's it?"

"Of course not," Dagu shook his head. This involved the disappearance of many people, and more people would inevitably suffer in the future. Naturally, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

"If we can't investigate it in a big way, we can only do it quietly."

Ye Rui's eyes suddenly lit up as he said, "Faibas has just developed a game and is currently recruiting game testers. If you perform well, you will receive an invitation to visit the headquarters and attend the launch conference for this game."

"so."

"That's right!"

The question and answer between Da Gu and Ye Rui made Fei Niao Xin confused. He asked, "What are you talking about?"

"It's obvious that Ye Rui wants to participate in the game test." Da Gu said with a smile: "Okay, I will send a document to your superiors in the name of the Space Adventure Team to invite you to participate."

Having been 'seen through', Ye Rui laughed, but he was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he was eager to try and could not wait to start the 'mission'.

Since he was promoted, Ye Rui's time for playing games has been compressed to the extreme. He usually has to maintain the dignity of a superior, so he naturally cannot play games in front of his subordinates. In addition, he has a lot of things to deal with, so he naturally has no time to play games.

Now I finally have the chance to play games openly and get paid. Is there anything more exciting than this?

"Well, deputy captain, do you think I can do it?" Asuka Shin blinked his eyes and put on a flattering smile, his purpose was almost written on his face.

".You're great," Daigu patted Asuka Shin's shoulder and said, "So, I'll leave the night patrol to you."

"Huh?" Asuka Shin was startled, and then he saw that Daigu and Nori had already walked away, so he quickly chased after them, shouting as he ran: "Deputy Captain, that's not what I meant."

"That's what you're talking about."

"Really? I had something to do that night."

"what's up?"

"Um date?"

"Oh, who are you with?"

"This... is not confirmed yet. It's hard to say."

"Oh, then wait until it's confirmed before asking for leave for the date."

"Ah, no..."

"That's it, take your time, young man."
