Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

“You wrote a reptile in Python?” After listening to the Ark, Wang Xiaodong, holding his phone, frowned.

“It's a ticket robbery APP to be exact, I'm going to buy a server to try, what do you suggest ——” the Ark explained.

“Don't mess around," Wang Xiaodong interrupted the ark without courtesy, saying, “Do you know how to get on the server? Do you have somewhere to put it? Try putting it in the bedroom, it won't run for half a minute, and the whole floor will pull the gate with you. ”

Huh?!

Is that an exaggeration?

However, when I heard his tone, I always felt like he had tried...

Across the phone, Wang Xiaodong continued with indifference: “If you want to earn some pocket money, you can take on some outsourced projects. You don't have to struggle to run APPs that you don't like. If you have some free money to play with, try renting a cloud server, which will definitely save you more money than your own. Electricity, grid, noise, heat dissipation. You don't have to worry about that. There's a charge by traffic, there's an hour or a month. ”

“Can you still do that?” The ark stunned.

“So what's so exciting about going out there?” Wang Xiaodong sighed and continued patiently, "Besides, the app you developed would be better off registering a domain name, which I don't think you've even considered. ”

“Can't I just use the server IP?” The Ark asked.

“No,” Wang Xiaodong replied decisively, "for example, you have developed an app on ios system. If you write a fixed server IP address in the code, once the cloud service operator changes the server device, you not only need to repackage and upload the appstore, but you may also be cut off half of the users directly. After all, not everyone will turn on automatic updates. ”

Grass?!

It's dangerous. The Ark hasn't heard of it.

After a moment of pause, Wang Xiaodong continued: “And most importantly, your crawler will collect data from third-party websites and may be blocked from IP by the site operator, which can be avoided by cloud servers. After all, operators like Ali, the IP pool is an astronomical number, saving you the trouble of virtual IP. ”

Once he talked about his area of expertise, the scholar unexpectedly turned into a chatter, which was called a rhetoric. This reminds the Ark of their bright comrade in the bedroom, and once he talks about Maggie's play, he can talk for half an hour.

Of course, these things Wang Xuebao said are still quite valuable.

The Ark not only listened attentively, but also took a little book to remember.

“… if the crawler itself does not consume much server resources from the 12306 website, especially now that it is in the SME roll-out phase, there is a huge price discount. Let's see... in the early days, you could rent a server with a million PPS of transceiver capacity, just 300 bucks a month. By the time the user visits, you can pay directly to upgrade the service, which is definitely more convenient than tossing the server yourself. ”

Grass gripping, schoolmaster deserves to be schoolmaster.

The Ark felt like it was just one phone call away, saving at least tens of thousands of dollars in unjust money.

Of course, you still have to buy your own server, but you can delay it a little while until his money turns around.

“Thanks, I'll buy you dinner sometime.” The Ark is solemnly grateful.

“Again. ”

The topic changed from computers to meals. Wang Xiaodong's passion for speaking instantly came to an end, and returned to a state where words were as good as gold.

However, just after all the questions the ship was about to ask, I didn't want to continue to chat awkwardly. After saying thank you again, I hung up the phone.

Grabbing the mouse, the ark landed on the Alibaba Cloud page and started searching for services.

Indeed, as Wang Xiaodong said, Alibaba Cloud is currently promoting and servers have considerable discounts.

“A million pps server is only 300 yuan per month, including 100G free ssd cloud disk, plus 200 yuan to upgrade 1TB... more than 0.3 yuan per month per G data. CPU and Intranet bandwidth as well as the ability to send and receive packages can be upgraded independently, with a 50% discount within three years...”

This price can be said to be quite discounted, in case of no accident, he can keep the operating APP expenses within a thousand yuan in the short term. If the user exceeds the expected number, just pay for the upgrade.

“So let's do this. The next question is to promote the app before the start of the school season.” The Ark searches for thought.

Go ahead and advertise, promote in the newcomers...

In short, the primary goal is to build up traffic!

Filled out the application for the rental server, the ark went to the bathroom to take a shower, wiped dry hair and returned to the bedroom.

Yet just as he was about to climb up the ladder to sleep, he suddenly smelled a stinking smell.

Looking back, Liu Rui, lying on his side, threw up a rare scream.

Oh, shit!

Wasn't he sleeping well? Why are you throwing up?

The boat couldn't wait to jump off the ladder and drag Liu Rui into the toilet.

“Go away… I can still drink.” Liu Rui's obsession popped up and reached out to push his canoe.

As soon as he saw the reaction, Ark panicked and said, "Fuck you, Rico, you have to hold on! I'm warning you, I just took a shower! ”

“Ouch...! ”

Ark: “…”

The bath was washed for nothing, and I couldn't sleep. There was a sour stomach in the bedroom. It was so sour.

Ark vows, this is his last time, drinking with this kid Liu Rui.

Finally, Liu Rui vomited and woke up, looking at the wolf and the clothes of the ark, embarrassed to say several apologies.

Turn off the air conditioning, the two of them clean the wreckage together, open the front and rear doors for ventilation.

After doing this, the ark took a fresh bath and came out without saying anything and held his seat, decisively sneaking off to the master's bedroom to lay the floor.

In this shitty weather, you can't sleep without air conditioning.

……

The next day, the ark rose for an early bed.

Upon returning to the bedroom, Liu Rui snored in bed.

The ark left him alone, went straight back to his position and turned on the computer.

The requested cloud server was quickly in place. After uploading the data, the network crawler started working, climbing down the remaining train ticket information and other data on the 12306 official website and organizing it. Anyone can implement one-click ticket purchase, sales alerts, automatic ticket purchase, regular ticket brushing and other operations online by saving their local account password.

There should be features, and it's quite convenient, and the light blue interface is a bit monotonous, but at least it won't be annoying.

Now that I have one on my phone, the Ark picked a station and tested it again, I found that the normal order was completely OK, and finally I chose to cancel the order at the payment link.

Then he spent another whole day putting the app on Android Market, Baidu mobile phone assistant, 360 assistant and several other large Android software download platforms in the country.

The ark sighed through the developer backstage, looking at that steady download at 0.

“It is true that running the app is not so good, the fragrance is afraid of the deep alley, no user is a big problem. ”

“Several platforms have applied for free promotions and do not know when they will come down. ”

He shook his head, turned off his laptop and stuffed the book he was going to read today into his bag.

“Whatever, first try to operate for about six months, it is really not possible to do so as to accumulate experience. ”
