Chapter 974: The Best Programming Language

~6 min read 1,013 words

The maintenance robots in the signal relay station not only have repair capabilities, but also possess even more powerful functions…

Inside the continuously advancing spaceship, Tai Yin mutters to herself while keeping a close eye on the constantly refreshing Witch Tribe characters on the Large Screen before her.

In fact, they are strings of program code.

Witch Tribe script resembles Huaxia script; both are pictographic.

Software built from pictographs is more concise and efficient than code constructed from English letters or characters.

When writing programs, no keyboard is needed; it can be done with thought alone.

It's like an author writing an article.

Tai Yin's coding skill was learned from her mother.

Her mother's family was one of the earliest software‑developing families, possessing vast wealth.

Otherwise she wouldn't have become the Witch King's concubine.

One reason Tai Yin likes the poems Lin Qiuxia sends is

that those poems can provide her with inspiration.

Beautiful verses not only contain graceful imagery but also convey rich emotions.

For example, the line "A glance back, a smile, a hundred charms arise; the six palaces' powder rouge loses its hue," if rendered in plain language, could take thousands upon thousands of words.

Tai Yin is puzzled why Earth Huaxia people have already mastered advanced coding yet cannot invent a powerful computer…

No, they actually have invented one; later generations didn't understand it and discarded it.

Now that primitive calculator model is even being used as a feng shui plate.

Having read a large amount of poetry, Tai Yin's programming ability has greatly improved.

After about five Earth hours, Tai Yin finally stopped.

Then she said calmly, "Success, uploading!"

As soon as the words fell, the program just written was transmitted to the signal relay station at faster‑than‑light speed.

Disguised as a meteor, inside the relay station orbiting Tàiyáng, a swarm of Micro Robots sprang into action.

They crawled out of the relay station, gathering the cosmic dust that had adhered to its outer hull over countless ages.

Then they transported it back inside the relay station.

Inside, a space quickly became a factory for producing Micro Robots.

After Tai Yin's ship received the relay station's returned signal, it displayed on the Cockpit's Large Screen.

It shows the interior of the factory magnified many times over.

Watching robot after robot being manufactured and leaving the production line, Tai Yin smiled.

The robot production speed inside the relay station surpasses even the micro‑robot factory on Yue Ya Dao that has been developing for over a year.

The quantity is increasing at an almost geometric rate!

Tai Yin glanced at the production progress and estimates that in about three hours they will have what they want.

She then closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

Having just used mental power to write a program, she needs rest.

……

At the same time.

It has been more than eight hours since Lin Qiuxia communicated with Tai Yin.

Lin Feng is currently with Qian Miaomiao.

Qian Miaomiao's drawing skill is why Lin Feng brought her.

Lin Feng described some lifeforms in the Universe; after a moment of thought, Qian Miaomiao used her brush to sketch the imagined shapes.

Lin Feng can draw, but he wants to see how Qian Miaomiao perceives these lifeforms in her mind.

Lin Qiuxia stood on a chair, leaning over the table, staring at the drawing paper.

"Qiuxia, does it look alike?"

Lin Feng asked.

Lin Qiuxia raised her hand, pointing at the robot, and said, "This is close to what I imagined, but this kind of bug is different from what I thought.

Our understanding of bugs is influenced by previous knowledge; after all, there are far too many bugs on Earth."

Lin Feng nodded, picked up his brush, and drew the interstellar‑traversing bug he imagined.

It looks like a lumpy creature.

"How ugly!"

Qian Miaomiao pursed her lips.

Lin Qiuxia giggled, also picked up a brush and gave the "lumpy creature" a pair of wings.

"Pfft~"

Qian Miaomiao couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Feng said, "Next time we talk to her, ask her for pictures of those races."

"Alright!"

Lin Qiuxia nodded.

At that moment, Yang Yuhuan and Song Jiaren entered.

Now Song Jiaren is in charge, wanting to cling to Lin Feng, but suddenly recalling Han Xiang's mother's melancholy gaze, she quickly halted.

Lin Qiuxia had always recognized it as Song Jiaren.

She stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and the two went out to play together.

"Hoo~"

Lin Feng exhaled.

Then the smile on his face disappeared.

"Are you worried?"

Qian Miaomiao asked.

Lin Feng nodded. "The more you know, the more you feel a sense of danger! Not knowing how good these things are lets you live blissfully unaware."

Qian Miaomiao put the painting away. "Then I won't look at it! Forget it for now; you have to live in the present to be happy, got it?"

"You're lecturing me."

Lin Feng pinched Qian Miaomiao's cheek.

Qian Miaomiao glanced outside. "Um, I want that."

"What's that?"

Lin Feng asked.

Qian Miaomiao stamped her foot. "I want to eat skewers!"

"Er..."

Lin Feng widened his eyes. "Just an hour ago..."

"I don't care!"

Qian Miaomiao threw a little tantrum.

Lin Feng didn't bother arguing with her, because she was carrying Lin ShiSan.

It was exactly the time to be greedy.

Feng Xuelan and the current Qi Yao are the same.

Yang Caiwei arranged extra time on her schedule to take care of them.

Recently, Qian Miaomiao, like Qi Yao, Liang Shishi, and Guo Yanqiu, learned how to make large cups of milk.

But it's different from Feng Xuelan.

This ability can also be considered a talent.

Lin ShiSan hasn't even been born yet, and his mother already knows how to cook!

Lin Feng was about to start grilling when Qian Miaomiao said, "Let's play a game while we cook!"

Lin Feng was taken aback. "What game?"

Qian Miaomiao said, "I'll pretend to be chased by bad guys, you turn invisible, and then I get caught..."

"You're really impressive!"

Lin Feng gave Qian Miaomiao a thumbs-up.
