Rebirth 2003: I Hold Codex in My Hand

In 2026, Zhou Xu led "Dayan Weiyang" to stand on top of the world. But that night after a press conference, Zhou Xu died downstairs in the company. When he opened his eyes again, he returned to 2003. Seventeen years old, a senior in high school, the family is in debt, the factory where his father works is about to be in trouble, and his mother is running a barely-sustainable print shop. In this era, there is no cloud computing, no smartphones, and even a computer that can stably run development tools is hard to find. The only thing that followed him back was the ultimate programming intelligence from 2026 - Codex. It remembers the technical route for the next twenty years, masters countless codes, loopholes, papers and product information, and can mobilize a virtual R&D army that spans the ages for Zhou Xu. So, everything started in the school computer room. A CD saved an Internet cafe; a set of software changed a city's computer maintenance method; a virus outbreak made countless people remember "Zero Point Network Dimension" for the first time. From terminal management to developer platforms, from cloud computing to large models, from a small team hiding in a print shop to the artificial intelligence giant that makes the whole world wait all night—— In this life, Zhou Xu will not only reach the top of the world again, but also create a prosperous era for Chinese AI.
