Chapter 810 810: See the Truth Tomorrow
After a good while, after Li Qing carefully thought it through, he finally inserted the USB drive into his hand (yes, he really inserted the USB drive into his hand!) and began reinstalling the system.
Li Qing hasn't fully figured out the capabilities of this Magic Simulation Module yet, and it requires careful exploration from him. Therefore, compared to the Windows system, the more fundamental Linux system is currently what he needs.
After all, once he becomes familiar with it later, he may need to modify the underlying code to adapt it to his needs, and the open-source nature of the Linux system would be most suitable.
The speed of reinstalling the system was very fast, and because the version settings were up-to-date, plus he loaded and recognized the latest model motherboard, the running speed was very quick.
Ten minutes later, watching the pitch-black command line interface jumping around, Li Qing forcibly contained his impulse to cheer, and somewhat clumsily typed out command line instructions.
Despite the fact that their company's server hierarchy uses the Windows system, and although he taught himself the basic operations of the Linux system, if it's not used at work, eventually he'll forget most of the command line code instructions.
However, now with the ability gained from learning Meditation, which allows his mind to grasp and retain information much easier, regaining his previous proficiency requires much less effort.
In just half an hour, Li Qing's mind was buzzing.
"Okay, next is to establish a database..."
Similarly, establishing a MySQL open-source database will do, proceeding by loading and installing according to the steps. It is already two hours later when the installation completes smoothly.
Li Qing wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Sometimes it's strange, clearly following the correct steps, but in the end, errors keep popping up, forcing him to search online several times to solve them.
Next is to open Python (one of the programming languages used by programmers) for writing code. Already prepared in advance, he is eager to get started. Previously, because the logic made him feel frustrated and led to hair loss, he didn't want to engage in development, but now it's much easier with his current mindset.
Over a span of four days, having stocked up on several boxes of instant noodles, Li Qing secluded himself in his rented apartment, oblivious to the outside world's festive atmosphere of the New Year, finally wrote his first, simplest program.
Watching the program run on the dark command line interface, Li Qing felt his liver hurt tremendously; the first program gave him countless errors, though fortunately it's just a plugin-like existence, as long as it can mount and run the data structure, there's plenty of references online.
For instance, game mod plugins (akin to putting makeup on an ordinary-looking person to make them glamorous), Li Qing's current work is very similar, except it needs to identify the 3D spatial coordinates for magic casting. The only fortunate part is that a source code for such 3D positioning exists online, after spending twenty bucks downloading and modifying the module, along with some bug fixes...
It was very difficult!
Although many functional modules are available online, debugging and modifying them to suit one's needs is no small feat, especially when customizing according to personal requirements.
Li Qing now somewhat understands why programmers always seem resentful whenever project managers propose new requirements.
Especially when their biology company proposes various demands to a software company, as a partnering company, the latter's expression is usually less than pleasant.
He's beginning to relate to it.
Over the next three days, Li Qing finally completed this mod plugin, successfully running it, and connected it with the database.
Li Qing stretched his body, glanced at his disheveled appearance in the mirror, his stubbly beard was somewhat obscuring his handsome face.
After quickly tidying up the house and taking a thorough shower in the bathroom, Li Qing finally went out, arriving at the entrance of Taikoo Li to squat down again as dusk approached.
After the New Year, most stores are open by around the seventh or eighth day, and the influx of tourists, or professional street photographers, have returned, with bustling crowds gradually picking up.
The streets are still adorned with high-hanging red lanterns, neon lights all around, filled with continuous laughter and chatter.
Despite the arrival of spring, it's still very cold at night. Li Qing tightened his cotton coat and sipped a freshly bought cup of hot tea.
Focusing his attention on the mount within his mind, Li Qing continuously input the Mage's Hand magic coordinates, magic flow circulation methods, strength, and frequency.
Once everything is complete, just wait to hit the start button.
Li Qing confirmed everything thoroughly, then slowly clicked confirm.
'Bang!!'
A muffled noise abruptly sounded, someone nearby exclaimed in shock: "Whoa, buddy, your head exploded!"
Li Qing dizzily rubbed his head, feeling somewhat singed.
Wiping his hand across, he felt like he had been in a coal pile, smudged with gray.
"You call this an explosion? It's just a firecracker! It just failed, that's all!"
Li Qing patted his pants and walked off dejectedly, realizing the problem lies in the functionality of the mount not reflecting real-time on his body.
A proper interface is needed, integrating the system with the body.
Back home, Li Qing was quite puzzled, questioning how to interface the system with a human.
How to detect his nerves, capture his electrical signals to complete this series of operations?
After contemplating deeply and testing several times, Li Qing found his approach was incorrect.
The system is within his body, fundamentally unnecessary for an interface, just lacking coordination.
He needs to be able to cast it.
That's right, a cycle confirmation must be done during the magic loading; each magic release requires loading once.
If otherwise, the cycle is simple, just needs a judgment node added.
At least for this rough mod loading setup, it's quite simple.
It's usable at his level.
Starting up the mounted 'Mage's Hand' again, after making judgments, Li Qing slightly moved his thoughts, two transparent Mage's Hands quietly appeared on either side of him.
Success!!!
Li Qing, full of joy, waved the Mage's Hand, continuously tidying up the messy room.
Then he plunged ardently into the mounting research, with this Magic Simulation Module, there's no risk of blowing his head up while modifying magic flow nodes.
Upon entering Gray's safe house, confirming his system is still functioning perfectly, Li Qing wasted no time immersing himself in research, based on previous calculus derivations and 3D coordinate quadrant confirmations, truly this Mage's Hand magic is quite rough.
