Chapter 135 Object-Oriented Programming
As Bai Tianjiao sat in the slowly rising Ferris wheel cabin, her thoughts drifted away involuntarily.
He couldn't quite remember when he last rode a Ferris wheel; it was probably during a primary school field trip.
Perhaps when I was young I was just very brave, full of fearless courage. Not only was I not afraid, but I would also complain that the thing was too slow and rose too low. I wished it could be like a rocket that soared straight into the sky!
But today, when he sat on the Ferris wheel in this new amusement park, which is said to be the tallest in Asia, he panicked!
Good heavens! This thing is so tall! And it's swaying from side to side, won't it fall off?!
He remembered that the amusement park hadn't officially opened yet. Could they have been brought in as guinea pigs?
Even as he was covered in cold sweat, he still managed to glance at the sedan chair behind him.
Sitting inside were a popular couple from the hit idol drama that aired last month. The male and female leads were interacting in a way that was incredibly sweet. The female lead smiled charmingly, her cheeks slightly flushed, and gently leaned her head on the male lead's shoulder. The male lead tenderly put his arm around her waist, and their eyes met, filled with sweetness and affection. Their love seemed to overflow from their interaction.
Bai Tianjiao watched this scene, his heart filled with mixed emotions. His hands were still gripping the back of the chair tightly, and he couldn't help but silently admire their professionalism! There was definitely a reason why he hadn't become a sensation!
Zhang Mo stared at his hands, which were almost bulging with veins, and was speechless: "You don't need to worry so much. Although there is no authoritative organization that has calculated the exact probability of Ferris wheel accidents, judging from the overall operation, the proportion of accidents that have occurred is relatively small compared to all operating Ferris wheels."
Bai Tianjiao's tense nerves were slightly calmed by Zhang Mo's words, but curiosity still drove him to ask, "...What accident?"
Zhang Mo casually mentioned a few: "For example, more recently, in August 2024, a Ferris wheel in Germany caught fire, injuring 23 people; in December 2024, a power outage at the Central Ferris Wheel in Hong Kong trapped over 200 people; and..."
Such a detailed explanation shocked Bai Tianjiao, who quickly interrupted her, "Okay, thank you, I understand!!!"
That's fantastic! He's even more nervous now!!!
The little fox looked up and glared at him: Who are you yelling at? You impolite human male.
Bai Tianjiao was utterly speechless: "Mr. Zhang, I know you're educated, but how come you even know this???"
Is this reasonable?!
Is this something a normal person should know and cherish like the back of their hand?!
Zhang Mo said calmly, "I've never ridden a Ferris wheel before, so I naturally had to do some background research before I got on."
"Ah, when you were little, did your parents...?" Bai Tianjiao, forgetting his mistakes, spoke faster than he thought, and quickly swallowed the rest of his sentence before realizing what he meant.
Zhang Mo kindly finished the sentence for him: "Yes, I never rode a Ferris wheel when I was a child because my parents passed away when I was young."
"...Sigh," Bai Tianjiao sighed, mainly because of his own lack of common sense. Why did he keep making this kind of mistake lately? "I'm sorry."
Zhang Mo glanced at him, finding him utterly inexplicable: "It wasn't your fault, why are you apologizing?"
The little fox nodded: That's right, that's right, stop making a scene for yourself.
Bai Tianjiao blinked awkwardly: "Oh."
Although the two stopped speaking and each turned their gaze to the dazzling night view in the distance, the empty carriage fell into a deathly silence, so quiet that they could hear each other breathing.
Zhang Mo seemed quite used to the quiet, but Bai Tianjiao was very uncomfortable. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he was always surrounded by happiness and laughter, and this quiet made him want to dig his toes into the ground.
What's more, the Ferris wheel has only completed a quarter of its rotation so far. How are we going to spend the rest of the time?
"Actually..." After a long while, Bai Tianjiao finally mustered up her courage and thought for a moment before speaking, "I've been wanting to apologize to you for a while now. I've never been very sensitive since I was little, and I always say the wrong thing."
Moreover, I recently lost a loved one myself, so I truly understand how you feel.
Zhang Mo was speechless for a moment: "..."
How could she make this silly boy understand that he really felt nothing at all?
Forget it, he wouldn't believe me anyway.
"At first, I couldn't believe it, I couldn't accept it. Then, thinking back on every detail, I felt so much regret." Bai Tianjiao gave a bitter smile. "For a while, I even started to feel that life had no meaning, that I couldn't leave anything behind, and that in the end, it was all for nothing..."
No wonder I felt he looked inexplicably melancholic when I first met him; now I know why.
People with poor cognitive abilities who insist on overthinking are prone to getting stuck in a rut and burning out their "CPU" (i.e., damaging their mental capacity).
“No law has ever stipulated that a person’s life must have meaning,” Zhang Mo said. “In fact, from my own perspective, people and procedures are pretty much the same.”
Bai Tianjiao looked bewildered: "Huh?"
“When we first started learning programming, we took a course called Object-Oriented Programming. We would organize the data and methods associated with a specific object into a whole and model the system.” Zhang Mo tried to explain to him in a simple and easy-to-understand way, “At the beginning, we create a new object instance, for example, People.”
Then, we set the initial state for this People.
People.name
People.height
People.weight
People.gender...”
(Name, Height, Weight, Gender)
At this point, Zhang Mo paused, looking at Bai Tianjiao suspiciously: "Did you understand the English words I just said?"
Bai Tianjiao was listening intently when she was questioned like this, and she immediately said with embarrassment, "I understand!"
He did study abroad, after all!
Zhang Mo smiled and continued, "Besides these, there are also the parents' circumstances and physical condition. These different initial conditions together create a unique individual."
Then, as People.age grows, People begins to add new 'methods', also called 'functions'. For example, run(), jump(), swim(), and love(), which is most valued by humans.
Every run() or love() operation, regardless of its final result, will be recorded in the logbook, just like a diary entry.
One day, People.die(), the program stopped running.
All the code and logs will not be destroyed; they will exist in other people's memories.
And if you look closely, you'll find traces of your interactions in your logs.
These are all proof that that person once existed.
Life doesn't disappear, it just stops.
The deceased live on in the memories of the living.
Bai Tianjiao listened intently the entire time, staring blankly at Zhang Mo, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them. Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and all the surrounding noise and commotion gradually faded away, leaving only their gazes meeting in the air.
In this suffocatingly quiet atmosphere, without warning, a single tear slowly slid down Bai Tianjiao's cheek.
Zhang Mo: "".
Are men these days so fragile?
That was really scary. I wish I hadn't said anything.
Just then, the little fox, which had been quietly lying on Zhang Mo's lap, raised its head in confusion.
What Zhang Mo had just said was still too difficult for her, a little fox who had never learned English. She was getting drowsy when she suddenly sensed something unusual.
She stared blankly at Bai Tianjiao across from her, when she suddenly heard the sound of the innocent young man's heart fluttering.
Jiu Xuan: ""
What a tragedy!!!
