Xueba's computing system

Chapter 64: Curry-flavored Code
"You've done it?" Professor Zhang immediately perked up. "Come on, show me."

Lin Yuan immediately took out his notebook and WeChat chat records. He did not hide the communication process with OCR from his mentor. After all, he had to consider that if something went wrong in the future, he would have to rely on his mentor's big legs to save his life.

But Lin Yuan naturally could not reveal that he discovered the OCR organization through that comment on Facebook.

Fortunately, after knowing the existence of OCR, it is much easier to reverse the process.

He followed the logical chain given by the system. The system actually found the conference organizer in an email forwarded to him by Professor Zhang, and found that the organizer had a cooperative relationship with OCR. Therefore, OCR entered the system's search scope.

Lin Yuan naturally used that email as an excuse.

"I checked all the conference organizers of some size in the email you forwarded to me, and also checked the organizations related to these conference organizers. Among them, OCR, which stands for Open Computing Republic, is the most prominent one.

Because they provide free cloud IDE, a large part of their target audience are college students.

And after I checked, I found that its headquarters is in North America, and it has a permanent branch office in Hong Kong. All this information combined is very suspicious. "

Lin Yuan is now making up the solution process based on the answer.

After all, "How to find OCR" is not a serious math problem, so there are many ways to solve it. It all depends on whether you can write it.

"Look at the name, 'Republic'. Why is it called 'Republic'? What does it mean? This is not the name of a serious organization."

"Hmm?" Professor Zhang raised his nose, "Dare to call it 'Republic'? Does it deserve it?"

Lin Yuan continued, "And, look at this."

Lin Yuan pressed the F12 button on his laptop, and the Chinese official website of OCR was displayed on his laptop. After pressing F12, he entered the developer mode of the web page.

"Look, there is a control here that is set to invisible. This control contains a lot of information."

Due to the current complex international situation, the Western ZZ-correctness has been played too much. Therefore, some open source projects have shown signs of being polluted. Lin Yuan has seen more than once in the open source projects he downloaded that promote ZZ-correctness. For example, strange definitions of gender...

The technology world is no longer the paradise it once was, even GitHub. When you download a project from GitHub and open the readme file, you will suddenly see a blue and yellow striped flag icon. Or a rainbow flag icon.

Therefore, Lin Yuan was cautious and carefully read the source code of the OCR Chinese official website.

As expected, he dug out some hidden content, which cannot be seen under normal access, but does exist in the source code of the web page.

This is just like how some Internet companies like to show off and secretly embed recruitment information in the source code of their official website or in their logs, just like hiding beautiful glass beads and waiting for the right person to find them.

However, organizations like OCR obviously do not have such good intentions. Lin Yuan guessed that the other party was because the official website was built based on the same set of code. When this set of official website code was deployed to the Chinese network, it was natural to follow the local customs, so some content was set to invisible.

This invisible control clearly shows: we support Ukr**** (the worst part of Europe, that word really can't pass the review). This is so obvious, what serious multinational organization would touch ZZ elements so openly.

Lin Yuan didn't need to elaborate on why he suspected the OCR organization, because the other party had already confessed.

Professor Zhang has put on his glasses and is examining it carefully. "After so many years, how come these bastards have resorted to such means? Back then,..."

Lin Yuan felt that the instructor was about to start the reverse recollection mode, so he listened carefully.

"Back then, their educational institutions were really great. University professors didn't have to bother with politicians. When we went to an academic conference, professors scolded the president and criticized current affairs in front of their own foreign affairs staff, which shocked us young people. Then many people fell for it.

That’s not right. The opponent at that time was indeed very strong, so it can’t be considered a hit. Well, everyone has their own aspirations. "

Professor Zhang recalled the past with much emotion.

"Now many of their social political elements have infiltrated open source software, and the technology field has become less and less pure, with political factors interfering too deeply. It's like we've switched places with them."

Lin Yuan thought about it and decided not to start a political topic. So he changed the subject and said, "OCR's official website smells like curry."

"You mean?" Professor Zhang asked curiously, "They outsourced the development to Brother San?"

Although Professor Zhang is nearly 60 years old, his temper is sometimes like that of a young man, and he always calls people "Third Brother".

"Yes, when I searched the source code of their website, I extracted the list of programmers responsible for development from the version change information. Look," Lin Yuan rolled the mouse and pointed to a place on the laptop screen, "various 'Singer' and 'Han', all names with a curry flavor."

"Hahaha~~~" Professor Zhang was very amused, and the gloom that Gu Xuan had brought to him before was swept away.

"These third-rate guys are really lazy. Useless things like annotations should be deleted. Can't they just make a one-click deployment tool?"

In fact, it is true. When the web front-end code is released, it can be compiled into almost incomprehensible JS code, just like the program is converted into assembly.

But, who says he is the third brother?

"After all, that is a magical country where even the first voyage of an aircraft carrier can be approved."

Hahahaha~~~!!! The master and the apprentice laughed loudly in the office.

"To be honest," Lin Yuan continued, "I guess Third Brother's salary was suppressed, so he deliberately slacked off."

"It's possible. I don't even dare to take a plane when I'm on a business trip now, for fear that there's a Boeing 737 that smells of curry under my butt."

Lin Yuan understood what his mentor meant, because now Boeing even dared to outsource the core code to San Ge for development. Not only Boeing, but also Juhan has adopted this kind of operation.

So, a while ago, a global blue screen of death occurred in Windows system, which caused many train stations and airports to go out of business.

Things that seem incredible to ordinary people are actually happening in this real world.

For the first time, Lin Yuan felt that his third brother was not completely useless. If it weren't for his curry-smelling code, he would have to rack his brains to come up with another excuse that would make sense in order to reasonably explain how he discovered OCR.

"Come, let me see how you successfully fooled the other party."

Professor Zhang then looked at the WeChat chat records and email records between Lin Yuan and the other party.

He was immediately confused, "Are the enemies so weak now? That's it? Have they been hooked by you?"
