Chapter 252 Two World Records
Chapter 252 Two World Records
On Seth’s mark, both of them punched the start button at the same time.
Everyone turned and zeroed in on the screen anxiously. A different system would have different timing for running the KOP program.
The reason the DC system could overlord the entire world was because it took only 10 seconds to finish running the entire program.
As for other systems, the best record was one minute, and the complication was that the mobile phone would freeze and be rendered unusable after running the program.
Could the SL system outperform the DC system?
Even though all of them knew that the chances were slim, they still hoped that Jacob could win.
After all, none of them were able to tolerate what Wilson said just now. He had taken things too far, and now every one of them just wished that he would lose.
'Come on, Jacob!' everyone chanted inwardly.
Like everybody else, Susan was staring straight at the projector screen. Her heart was beating fast like a horse galloping in the grass plains and she was so nervous that she clenched both her hands into fists.
'You must win this, Jacob!'
Even though Julian was the calmest amongst them, every muscle on his body was pulled taut during this moment.
Would Jacob win? Would the SL system claim victory i n this competition?
Joseph sneered, "Cousin, don't tell me that you really expect him to run the KOP program. Putting aside whether or not the mobile phone system can handle the program, do you really think that there is no error i n Jacob's program given that he finished it in such a short amount of time? Don’t make me laugh, please. If he really wins, I'll eat...” 1
Before he could finish his sentence, the people began t o gasp out in surprise one after another.
“Oh my god! Please tell me I’m not delusional. 8 seconds? It is really 8 seconds?"
"I think I’m seeing an illusion right now.”
"Me too..."
One man stood up and stared in awe at Jacob. Then, two people stood up. Then, three...
"Way to go, Jacob!" Susan sprang up from her seat and exclaimed loudly.
Jacob's program had just finished running. The SL system only needed 8 seconds to run the program. It was faster than the DC system’s 10 seconds.
An instant later, Wilson was done running the program as well.
The time stopped at 9 seconds.
It was one second faster than their previous record, and it meant that the DC system was constantly improving as well.
If it was in the past, it would be headline-worthy news.
However, nobody cared about the 9 seconds right now.
Jacob had smashed two records in a row.
The first one was that he was the fastest programmer t o finish the KOP program in the shortest amount of time. Previously, the record-holder was an American. He did it under 28 minutes, but Jacob was able to outdo him and finish it in 25 minutes and 3 seconds.
The second record was the fastest mobile operating system. The previous title by the DC system was a world record time of 10-no, 9 seconds, but now, the record was smashed by the SL system. The SL system was able to finish running the program in 8 seconds, which was 1 second faster than the DC system.
He had broken two world records in one night. All of the reporters in the hall felt they were dreaming.
Canada assumed a wait-and-see attitude when the electronic industry was on the rise. By the time Canada decided to enter the industry, it was already too late. America had claimed a large portion of the industry, and Canada would always lag behind America.
However, everything was different now.
Some of the reporters had already started to draft the article in their minds.
"A talented youngster has appeared. Will he become the savior of Canada's electronic industry?"
"KOP 8 seconds, the SL system triumphed over the DC system in a showdown.”
"The SL system: A system that truly belongs to Canada."
Countless headlines flitted across their minds. Some o f them even had tears dangling at the corner of their eyes.
Part of their jobs as digital reporters was to introduce the best technology in the world. On many occasions, they often had to go to great lengths to praise the technology of America or other
countries. It was not that they did not want to report their own country's technology - it was just that they did not have anything to write about.
However, things were going to change now with Jacob.
After the short silence, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Jacob!”
Then, the second, and the third. A few seconds later, everyone in the hall, save for Joseph, Julian, and Wilson, had stood up and all of them were chanting Jacob's name. Their voices so loud it could flip over
the roof.
Brandishing her arms high in the air, Susan joined the crusade and shouted, "Jacob! Jacob!"
When she noticed that Julian was not shouting, she pushed him and asked, "Why don't you shout with us?"
"Erm..."
"Shout!" Susan glared at him.
Left with no other alternative, Julian could only follow.
As the crowd continued to cheer at Jacob, Wilson and Joseph’s faces turned pale.
This was something that was out of their expectations. Not only could the SL system run the program smoothly, but it could finish running it in under 8 seconds.
"No! This is impossible!" Wilson knew better than anyone what it meant for the DC system if such a system appeared.
He rushed towards Jacob like a madman and snatched his phone away.
"This is impossible! This must be fake. This is not the real KOP program. You must have tempered with it." Wilson swiftly checked the phone.
It was difficult to write the code, but checking it was a s easy as pie. All he had to do was put the number in and start the arithmetic operation.
Ten minutes later, Wilson looked through the program but he found nothing wrong.
The program was indeed the KOP program.
"Even if it could run, it must be barely running. Your phone must be lagging like crazy right now." Wilson tried to attack Jacob in another way.
He began to open other applications on the phone.
However, under the circumstances where the KOP program was still running, the other applications could still run smoothly.
"This is not possible, this is not possible," Wilson mumbled as he opened up one application after another.
It was only after he opened the tenth application that the phone started to lag.
Overjoyed, Wilson shouted, "See! It's lagging! It’s lagging! Everybody sees that, right?"
He looked in joy and attempted to look for approval, but what greeted him shook him to the core.
The crowd was looking at him pitifully.
"What is that face? His phone is lagging? Why isn't anybody showing a response?" Wilson shouted hysterically.
A reporter stood up and replied, "Yes. It’s lagging now, but Mr. Wilson, you have opened up ten applications i n a row. So under the same situation where the KOP program is running, how many applications can the D
C system handle before it starts to lag?"
Wilson did not reply, but he already had an answer in his heart.
Five. The answer to the question was five.
The DC system would definitely start to lag after the fifth application.
And right now, the SL system could manage ten...
It was only now that he realized Seth was not messing around when he said the SL system had surpassed the DC system in every aspect.
Wilson's legs gave way and he slumped into his chair a s despair slowly crept into him.
There was only one thought in his head right now.
For ten years, the DC system had reigned over the market, and now it finally came to an end.
And the one who put an end to it was a Canadian!
Before this, they always felt that their digital technology was superior to the Canadians’. They even called Canada the "electronic desert."
But now, they had Jacob.
"Mr. Leeds, your thing is here," said a girl who was pinching her nose and carrying a pile of cow pies.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
