Chapter 19 — The entire department's salary is 39,000 yuan, just me 5,800 yuan

Completed Alpha version. That news was like a sinking bomb. Exploded within the Phoenix Project. Everyone understands. What does that mean? It's synonymous. The next thirty days. They will no longer have any rest period. All must be utilized to the maximum. It is also synonymous. An already stressful workload will enter an almost frenzied sprint. A period that burns all strength and will. The atmosphere in the meeting room was so heavy that it made it difficult to breathe. I convey Tran Lap Tan's request verbatim to everyone.

"I know."

“This is almost an impossible task.”

My eyes slowly scanned each young but tired face.

“I won't force anyone.”

“If anyone wants to leave the project now.”

“I completely understand.”

“Previous bonuses and commitments.”

“Everyone is still receiving full benefits.”

I give everyone the right to choose. The meeting room fell silent. No one spoke up. But no one stood up. Three seconds later. Lam Phong was the first to stand up. His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep. But his gaze was extremely determined.

“Manager Chu.”

“You don't need to say anymore.”

His voice broke the silence.

“First day joining this project.”

“I'm not for money.”

“It's not because the profile is better.”

“I just want to create something that can truly change the world.”

“Now someone wants to surpass us.”

“The first person to disagree is me.”

Those words were like fire. Immediately lit up the will in everyone's hearts.

"That's right!"

“Let's fight!”

“What about a technology corporation in Silicon Valley?”

“The people here are not top experts!”

“Take a risk!”

“One month is one month!”

“I bet my life to win against them!”

The chief architect is the quietest. Also stood up quietly. He didn't say anything. Just nodded seriously at me. Meaning in those eyes. No interpretation needed. Look at the teammates in front of you. People whose fighting spirit was completely ignited. A warm feeling arose in my heart. I didn't look at the wrong person. I just said one word. But in that word. Contains thousands of words to say.

“From now on.”

“Project Phoenix officially entered a wartime state.”

An unprecedented high-intensity technological war. Official opening. The entire team was divided into three parallel combat groups. In charge of Ghost. Focus on the stability of the underlying architecture. In charge of Lam Phong. Specializes in optimizing the performance of core algorithms. Led by a young security genius. Specializes in system security and load tests. Become the general commander of the entire campaign. At the same time, it is a reserve mobile force. I don't belong to any group. But it also appears everywhere. Where are the most difficult problems to solve? That's where I will be. Completely turned into a battlefield. It is also their home. Number of folding beds in the corner of the room. Increase to fifteen units. The company's administrative department also sent a separate logistics team. Operates twenty-four hours a day. Ensure all needs for the project. Continuously delivered. Time passed quietly. Between lines of source code no Stop scrolling down the screen. First week. They completed the restructuring and interconnection of the entire base layer module. The framework of the system is finally built. Week two. They break the performance bottleneck of the three core algorithms. Data processing efficiency increased by thirty percent compared to the original plan. Third week. They fended off one simulated attack after another. Extreme attacks launched by Group C. The level of severity almost drives people crazy. But in the end. The stability of the entire system has also been initially tested. Everything is developing in a good direction. Everyone is like a well-winded machine. Not tired. Rushing recklessly towards the same goal. On the morning of the twenty-eighth day. When Lam Phong tapped the last Enter key. And the system compiles successfully. The whole office exploded in resounding cheers. Core engine of the Phoenix Project. Alpha V0.1 version. Officially born. Everyone excitedly hugged each other. Tears sparkled in the eyes of many people. It was their brainchild that they used for twenty-eight days and nights without sleep. Consume countless cups of coffee. Using so much enthusiasm. To create. A smile I hadn't seen in a long time appeared on my face. But I know. Now is not the time to celebrate.
