A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Perhaps Jinzhen's explanation was too technical, because the subsequent records were no longer made in the semi-classical style of the beginning.

To be honest, Jin Zhen, this troubled youth, is quite a madman. He had already finished giving a brief introduction to C language, but because he was so influenced by Jiang Xia, he couldn't help but get a little excited when he saw the thick technical glossary in the experts' hands.

"We believe that an excellent programming language, especially a system-oriented language that is close to hardware, should draw on certain concise, flexible and logically expressive characteristics of human natural language."

Jin Zhen remained unhurried. On the blackboard behind him, his assistant had already written several simple English sentences and their corresponding, somewhat strange, symbolic expressions in chalk.

"For example, in Chinese, there is a highly condensed phenomenon of 'semantic cohesion,' where the context and word order themselves can carry rich logical relationships without relying excessively on cumbersome conjunctions. A similar pursuit of conciseness also exists in mathematical and logical expressions."

As he spoke, he pointed to an example on the blackboard: “When we designed this new language, we tried to introduce a similar ‘contextual inference’ mechanism. Under certain specific and safe syntactic conditions, the compiler can automatically deduce some operation intentions based on the operator’s precedence, associativity, and the existing type declaration of variables, thereby reducing the type conversions or parenthesis nesting that must be explicitly written in the code and are sometimes redundant.”

He gave several examples, all of which were seemingly simple expressions, but after being processed by what he called "context-based simplification rules," the number of lines of code was significantly reduced, while the clarity of the logic was not reduced. On the contrary, because the "noise" was removed, it became more focused on the core.

According to Jin Zhen and Jiang Xia, these examples are a natural manifestation of the ingenuity of the "C language" design in terms of expression evaluation, implicit type conversion, and pointer arithmetic, and are necessary designs made for code conciseness and efficiency.

However, many delegates in the audience, especially those experts who were used to the strict and explicit grammatical styles of languages ​​such as ALGOL and FORTRAN, were initially confused and even frowned.

What are these?

All I can do is write machine language, so where did you take me all of a sudden?

One begets two, two begets three, three begets all things?

This sounds a bit like the ternary metaphysics that the League of Legends mentioned.

But this is clearly a binary architecture!

Is the talent of Chinese people in language and abstract thinking really that extraordinary?

So scary!

Some people understood half of it, but doubts arose: This approach, which relies heavily on context and the compiler's "intelligent" inference, sounds too opportunistic. What if the compiler makes a mistake? How can the code's clarity be guaranteed?

A low murmur arose in the meeting room.

Just then, a loud exclamation suddenly rang out from the French delegation's area: "Magnifique!"

Suddenly, an elderly French expert stood up, excitedly slamming his hand on the table and repeatedly exclaiming, "Brillant! Cest exactement ce quil nous manque! (How ingenious! This is exactly what we've been missing!)" The members of the French delegation around him also stood up, applauding enthusiastically, their eyes filled with excitement and sudden realization.

This unexpected show of support left everyone in the audience stunned.

Jin Zhen stood on the stage, a knowing smile almost imperceptibly curving his lips.

Only now did he fully understand why Brother Jiang Xia insisted on "just right" embedding these seemingly profound but actually pointed-to-specific technical issues when introducing the philosophy of language.

Previously, the French obtained some core C language code from China, but they were stuck at a logical connection point and could not figure it out.

Jiang Xia is a cunning fellow. He actually broke down the key ideas for completing this part of the logic and integrated them into the explanation of logic in the Chinese language. With the core of "integration and comprehensive understanding" and "drawing inferences from one instance", he accurately filled in the knowledge points that the Gallic Chicken lacked.

With this supplementary knowledge, the Frenchman's mastery of C language can form a relatively complete logical loop, making its application much smoother.

No wonder they reacted so strongly.

My older brother Jiang Xia YYDS!

Yes, that was Jiang Xia's clever trick. Although he hadn't anticipated that the foreigners would resort to such underhanded tactics, he had foreseen the awkward silence that might occur during the speech.

So, Frenchman, I'll give you something in return, how about you help me out?

We're all in this together, so we all need to save face for each other!

To be fair, although everyone often criticizes France, the French are also highly skilled at providing emotional value and technical resonance.

Everything seemed to be proceeding according to a "script" written by some guy far away in the East, with a sly smile on his lips.

Almost as soon as the French applause subsided, there was a noticeable commotion in the Soviet delegation's seats.

A tall, upright middle-aged man in a well-tailored dark gray suit was the first to stand up, almost immediately following the Frenchman's praise.

He didn't speak, but with a serious and focused expression, he raised his hands and began to clap.

The applause was firm and powerful, echoing throughout the venue.

It's Alexander Petrovich, the principal researcher at the Alliance Computer Research Institute!

He stood ramrod straight, his gaze intense.

However, upon closer inspection, one will notice that his deep gray-blue eyes are not focused entirely on Jin Zhen in the center of the podium, but rather slightly towards the area near the steps to the side of the podium.

There, Mulan, the deputy head of the delegation responsible for coordination and liaison, stood quietly.

She was also dressed in a dark Zhongshan suit, her posture as upright as a bamboo, her face calm and expressionless, only her bright eyes keenly observing every fluctuation in the meeting room.

When Alexander stood up and applauded, her eyes met his for a fleeting moment.

"Old friend, your daughter is safe and sound..."

"This is wonderful!"

To avoid alerting the minister beside him, Alexander controlled his expression, but the corner of his mouth still twitched almost imperceptibly.

"Well, Alexander, it seems you've learned something? Is this argument from our brotherly southern kingdom worth learning from?"

"Of course! Others may not know, but it has been very enlightening for my own related research!"

“Your Excellency, we must support this! It’s not just about technical appreciation, but also a strategic necessity. Supporting our Chinese friends’ proposal of promising new directions will help maintain a beneficial ‘multipolar’ situation on the international technology stage, counterbalance the absolute dominance of certain countries, and lay a more reasonable foundation for future contact and possible… ‘exchanges’.”

"Alright! Since that's your assessment..."

"I will write down your decision!"

"Damn, you really don't want to take any risks at all!" Alexander thought to himself.

The Alliance Minister, who had not listened to the voice of the heart, no longer hesitated.

He then stood up and clapped vigorously and rhythmically!

Under his leadership, the other members of the alliance delegation, as well as representatives from several Eastern European satellite states, although they may not have fully understood all the intricacies of what Jin Zhen was saying, also stood up and joined in the applause out of discipline and trust in the authority of the alliance.

Immediately, the applause in the Alliance's seating area became quite enthusiastic.

This puts pressure on the Bald Eagle delegation.

The leader of the Baltic delegation had a somewhat uncertain expression: the French praise was understandable, as the French had always been interested in ingenious theories. Furthermore, intelligence indicated that the two countries had been secretly colluding for some time, so this show of support was not surprising.

But why were the Soviets so proactive?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

The bald eagle leader turned to look at an expert wearing frameless glasses beside him.

"Robert, what do you think? Is what that Chinese man said really that valuable?"

Robert Witt, a former senior researcher at Bell Labs and now the delegation's chief technical advisor, stared intently at Jin Zhen on the stage, his expression complex.

He adjusted his glasses: "The value is undeniable. Especially in terms of compiler optimization and the simplicity of system programming, the approach is very...unique and has great potential. I didn't expect..."

He paused, his tone somewhat subtle, "That young man who used to be a bit stubborn has actually grown up to this extent. I originally thought that the 'shortcut' I pointed out to him would lead him down an even longer route."

"Hmm?" The team leader keenly noticed something. "Dr. Witt, do you know him?"

"Yes, in my early years when funds were tight, I went to China for an exchange program for a period of time... Well, speaking of which, he could barely be considered my student," Dr. Witt said vaguely.

Tsk, trouble!

The team leader didn't consider the value of the C language itself too much; he simply felt that the limelight shouldn't be completely stolen by the other side, and that this new language concept, proposed by China and seemingly attracting the attention of both Europe and the Soviet Union, shouldn't easily gain too much political halo.

sing a different tune?

No, no, no... that would be too idiotic, especially when this kind of language seems somewhat important.

If you can't beat them, join them?

Finally, as always, become the leader?

Haha, that's interesting. As long as we're on the side with the advantage, we'll always be the winners!

The bald eagle leader smirked slightly, and then, under the slightly surprised gaze of his companion, he stood up as well.

He not only stood up, but also flashed a smile that could be described as “enthusiastic,” clapping his hands with a force that was no less than that of the league players.

What was even more striking was that he turned his head and spoke in clear English, loud enough for those nearby to hear, to his companion—in fact, to the entire hall:

“A fascinating perspective indeed! 'Making' the machine understand the essence of human logic… 'Making' the code as elegant as the thought behind it… That's what we're all striving for, isn't it?”

For some reason, he emphasized and repeated the word "Making".

In an instant, the applause expanded.

Representatives from many countries who were initially observing saw that several major powers seemed to have shown some degree of interest or support.

At least on the surface...

These people then joined in and clapped.

The applause in the hall surged like a tide, and the atmosphere was quite enthusiastic, even somewhat like the "loud drums and gongs" that Minister Xia had mentioned.

On the podium, Jin Zhen nodded slightly in greeting, her lips curving into a slight smile that she couldn't suppress, almost humming with joy.

Brother!

I did it!
