55 Perfecting the Data Restoration Software
Bi Jialiang immediately felt extremely disappointed when he heard Jian Qingli say that she wanted to apply for leave too.
He was looking forward to going to Tianbao City for training mainly because he wanted to be alone with Jian Qingli.
He was hyped up the entire morning because of this.
And now Jian Qingli has actually said that she wasn’t going!
His hopes were dashed and his mood instantly fell.
“Teacher Tian, I’m also taking leave…” Ding Ling was following Li Chengqian. Moreover, she didn’t know programming, so it would be a waste of time to go for training.
“Teacher Tian, I also have something on and need to apply for leave. When the time comes, Li Chengqian and I will look for you.” Zhao Peng thought for a moment and also asked for leave.
Teacher Tian Wenming didn’t say much and agreed right away. “Alright, I approve.”
“But remember my instructions. You must be in Tianbao City before 3 p.m. on Sunday. Be careful on the way and stay out of trouble.”
“That’s all. Those who applied for leave can go eat first. He Hongyun, Bi Jialiang, you two stay behind.” Tian Wenming waved his hand, indicating that Li Chengqian and the others could leave.
“They don’t even cherish such an opportunity, they are not ambitious at all!” He Hongyun was especially upset. He felt offended that Li Chengqian and the others took leave.
“It’s precisely because that bastard Li Chengqian took the lead in applying for leave that the others took leave!”
“It’s all because of that bastard Li Chengqian.” The more He Hongyun thought about it, the angrier he became. He stopped reading and was filled with disgust for Li Chengqian from the bottom of his heart.
“Sigh.” Because Jian Qingli had applied for leave, Bi Jialiang was not in a good mood. He sighed. Moreover, he had a horrible suspicion. “Jian Qingli applied for leave because of Li Chengqian.”
This thought made Bi Jialiang feel sad and depressed.
“In this competition, I must be better than Li Chengqian! I want to prove to Jian Qingli that I’m very good, better than Li Chengqian.”
…
In the afternoon, Li Chengqian took his hands off the computer keyboard.
[Divine Dragon Optimization software completion rate: 87%!]
Li Chengqian’s lips curled into a smile as he looked at the programming documents on the computer. He stretched and said to the tired Zhao Peng, “Let’s go eat first. We’ll continue after we’ve eaten…”
Hearing the word ‘eat’, Zhao Peng immediately perked up, but Li Chengqian’s words made him shiver.
“Captain, are you still going to continue?” Zhao Peng was on the verge of tears. He didn’t want to be a mindless input robot.
“I’m just teasing you. That’s all for today. We’ll continue tomorrow.” Li Chengqian looked at the sullen Zhao Peng and shook his head.
After leaving Teacher Tian’s place, Li Chengqian called Zhao Peng to the library to help him enter the codes into the computer.
Zhao Peng even skipped the afternoon classes.
“Learn programming from me and focus on the competition. You will gain direct admission to Divine Dragon University… Why would you still need to attend classes?” After Li Chengqian said this, Zhao Peng could only grit his teeth and work for Li Chengqian.
Zhao Peng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that he didn’t have to be an input robot for Li Chengqian today. Afraid that Li Chengqian would change his mind, he rushed out of the library like a rabbit. “Captain, I still have something on. I’ll leave first. I won’t be eating together with you.”
Li Chengqian laughed at his mannerism. “It’s just writing codes, why is he so terrified?”
After resting for two minutes, Li Chengqian focussed his attention on the chat window.
Qin Datong from the Municipal Bureau Internet Security department had been asking him questions about the Data Restoration software.
There were a few cases where the Municipal Bureau was unable to prosecute the suspect because they couldn’t retrieve critical evidence from a faulty hard disk.
They clearly knew who the suspect was, but because they didn’t have any concrete evidence, they could only let the suspect go. The Municipal Bureau and the investigation officer were especially upset about this.
They also have engaged data restoration experts, but after repeated attempts, they still couldn’t manage to retrieve the data.
The Data Restoration software developed by Li Chengqian gave Qin Datong hope.
Qin Datong asked Li Chengqian for the software in the morning as he wanted to test its functions.
Then, he was dumbfounded. He found that he didn’t know how to operate this software at all.
This was because the Data Restoration software developed by Li Chengqian didn’t have an interface at all. After opening it, there was only a black operating interface similar to a command line interface.
There weren’t any user prompts on this interface either.
He tried the CMD command. It didn’t work. There weren’t even any prompts.
Although he majored in programming in university, he had no clue how to use this software.
He could only concede that he didn’t know how to use this software at all!
“Li Chengqian, can you write down the instructions for using this software?” Qin Datong had no choice but to ask Li Chengqian for help.
The original purpose of this software was to restore the data on Liu Wendao’s computer hard disk.
Therefore, Li Chengqian’s sole purpose was speed. He wasn’t expecting anyone else to use it, so he naturally didn’t consider ease of usage for users.
In order to use this Data Restoration software, he had to enter a compilation code on this black interface.
Compiling codes was very simple for Li Chengqian, but for ordinary people, it was too difficult. Even for people with a certain programming foundation, it would take at least a month to learn it. Moreover, they needed a standing operating manual to guide them, else they would forget how to do it.
“Brother Qin, give me two hours. I’ll change the code. Otherwise, even if I write out the operating manual, it’ll be especially difficult to learn, it’ll take a long time,” Li Chengqian replied.
“Li Chengqian, I’ve already reported to the higher-ups that as long as your Data Restoration software works, it will be helpful for us to solve cases. The Municipal Bureau won’t use your software for free. They will definitely pay you a reasonable fee. You don’t have to worry about this.” Qin Datong’s message came again.
In fact, the Municipal Bureau had already discussed it internally. As long as Li Chengqian’s software was effective and could recover data that even the experts couldn’t, the Municipal Bureau was willing to spend 100,000 yuan to purchase it.
“Thank you, Brother Qin.” Li Chengqian didn’t decline. Then, he closed the chat window and began to work on tweaking the software.
The core Data Restoration function had already been completed. He only needed to create an user-friendly interface for the software.
He added the hard disk display function on the interface, allowing the hard disk that needed restoration to be displayed on the software interface once it is connected to the computer.
He added a data restoration button on the interface so as to execute commands on the hard disk to be restored.
After the data restoration was completed, the intuitive data classification, filtering, preview, and export functions he added would ensure that the user could quickly find and export the files he needed.
There is also a need to add features for software authorization to prevent the software he developed from being used by others.
Li Chengqian went online to review a few data restoration softwares and got an idea of how to design the minor details of the user interface.
“Focus!”
“Rational Thinking!”
With the activation of the two Skills, Li Chengqian entered an extremely focused state. At the same time, other than the spirituality of humans, his brain operated like a computer.
The plan that he had just decided on quickly went through his mind. He adjusted it according to the operating methods of the computer. The codes that he needed to write simply flowed, without him having to think.
If he had already taken on the Software Engineer profession and obtained the Thinking Coding skill, he could have entered the codes in his brain into the computer within an extremely short period of time.
But for now, he could only do it manually.
[Tool Mastery skill activated. Your typing speed has increased by 200%.]
A translucent notification appeared in front of him.
Li Chengqian’s fingers were like lightning on the keyboard. With a crackling sound, lines of code quickly appeared on the computer.
Under his control, the software interface took shape at an extremely fast speed.
