Chapter 251: Anti-thief

Meeting Zheng Shunli had no effect on Zhang Shulan. Instead, it made her focus more on her studies and career.

Li Wenxi also devoted herself to the research of H Country's H47 cipher system and the national defense security system project. Through public technical papers, various security reports, and simulation experiments, she gradually sorted out the overall architecture of the H47 cipher system and began to look for possible loopholes. She

worked in the laboratory or Siheyuan almost every day. There were several thick notebooks on her desk, densely recording her every speculation and discovery. Her life seemed to be filled with these projects and research.

Han Yi called Siheyuan whenever he was free. Han Yi asked Li Wenxi if he missed her. Li Wenxi was concentrating on analyzing the H47 password system. Her mind was full of frameworks and data. After hearing Han Yi's words, she paused for a while before reacting: "Ah? What did you just say?"

Han Yi: "..." "What were you thinking about just now? You looked absent-minded."

"Oh, I was thinking about the information I just checked."

"It seems that my previous question was in vain. I was worried that I was too busy with work and didn't have time to accompany you. It seems that you are busier than me. Hey, it seems that I am not as important as your work in your heart. Hello, are you listening?"

Li Wenxi was lying on the table beside her, jotting down her inspiration. When she heard Han Yi's voice on the phone, she hurriedly said, "Han Yi, I suddenly have an inspiration. I have to write it down quickly and call you next time." After that, she hung up the phone.

Han Yi: "..."

Li Wenxi found that she seemed to have found a key node. She had always felt that some parts of the system architecture of Country H were a little strange, and seemed to be different from the common architecture. This time, she discovered that there was an imperfect random number generation mechanism in the encryption process of the system, and this mechanism might be the breakthrough to open the entire system.

She held her breath and quickly wrote down her speculations in her notebook. Her fingers crossed the pages, and the tip of the pen moved quickly, writing down every possible detail. Then she quickly sat down in front of the computer in the study, tapping her fingers on the keyboard quickly, her brows slightly wrinkled, and the whole world seemed to be blocked, leaving only the code on the screen and the speculations that kept emerging in her mind.

For the next week, Li Wenxi was immersed in it. Even in the laboratory, she looked like this. Senior Brother Yu knew Li Wenxi very well and joked during lunch: "Li Wenxi, have you made a new breakthrough in the national defense project? Every time you have a major progress, you look like you are distracted."

Li Wenxi did not mention the research on the H47 cipher system. She knew that if others knew that a first-year graduate student was trying to crack the top cipher system of H country, it would definitely attract all kinds of doubts and ridicule. Therefore, she just worked hard silently and did not reveal any details to the outside world.

Before, Zhou Kai said loudly in the laboratory that she wanted to decrypt the H47 cipher system, but no one took it seriously. Occasionally, someone saw Li Wenxi looking at the data of the H47 cipher system, and everyone just thought she wanted to know the information.

Senior Yu continued to joke, "Junior sister, you continue your research, and I will sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor, waiting for your results to become the material for my graduation thesis."

"Okay, senior brother, how much are you prepared to pay for my idea?" Li Wenxi laughed and shot back.

Zhou Kai glanced at Li Wenxi, and felt even more uncomfortable. Professor Wang was really partial, letting Li Wenxi, who was also a first-year graduate student, participate in the national defense security project, but not letting himself participate, even though he was also her student.

From then on, Zhou Kai began to secretly observe Li Wenxi's every move. He really wanted to know what she was busy with. But he was nearsighted, and from his position he couldn't see clearly what the densely packed codes on Li Wenxi's computer were. And a few times when he walked over to talk to her, Li Wenxi switched her computer to the thesis interface that Professor Wang had assigned to everyone to read. So he couldn't see anything.

But he noticed that Li Wenxi always had a thick notebook, and she carried it with her at all times like a treasure. Every time she left the laboratory to get water, she would lock the notebook in the drawer.

"Tsk, just like preventing thieves. You really think you are a math genius and will make a world-shaking discovery. It's just a national defense security system project. You are just lucky to meet Professor Wang, and she favors you." Zhou Kai was very uncomfortable with Li Wenxi's behavior of locking her notebook.

But Li Wenxi was not actually protecting herself from people in the laboratory, and she didn't think she would need to be on guard against other people's research results at this stage. This habit was "cultivated" by Li Wenting, because Li Wenting had pried open her door and drawer lock. Therefore, she always carefully stores important things to avoid leaving them on the table and making herself feel insecure.
