After Jiang Chen left, the conference room was quiet for nearly three minutes and no one left.
The man with high cheekbones moved his stool, and the noise he made attracted the attention of others. Facing the gazes of his colleagues, he frowned deeply and said, "What do you think...will his idea really come true one day?"
The middle-aged man at the bottom of Mr. Yang was thoughtful. "What Xiao Jiang said may not be the mainstream of national development in the future. The main direction of our 17th Research Institute is electronic technology. Everyone here knows that computers will be everywhere in every household in the future. At that time, personal information will be more transparent, and the country's various information will inevitably need to use the Internet. If there is really an information war, powerful firewalls and attack methods are indispensable. Whoever takes the lead will occupy a place in the future power."
In their words and deeds, both of them used the Yangtze River system described by Jiang Chen as a blueprint, but they only regarded the Yangtze River as a blueprint and did not believe that the Yangtze River system could be as powerful as Jiang Chen said.
"You have concluded without any testing that the system he has does not have the capabilities he claims." The woman who had been silent until now, sitting at the end of the long table, raised her red lips slightly and questioned casually, "Isn't this against the spirit of scientific research?"
"Director Yang." The man with high cheekbones turned to look at her, as if he was surprised and mocking her: "Do you really think what Jiang Chen said is true? Did you listen carefully to him? He said that what he is studying now, what is it called... Yangtze River, right? Now the Yangtze River is the ceiling of information warfare, the ceiling of the protection system. Ha, what a big tone, before the information warfare has officially begun, he said that the system he developed is already the ceiling. Has he experienced war? What's the difference between this and looking at the sky from a well? You are the director of the Cyber Security Bureau, you don't really believe what he said, do you?"
The woman called Director Yang glanced at him calmly, then shifted her gaze to Elder Yang at the top, and said respectfully: "Elder Yang, we represent the National Cybersecurity Bureau to declare that we are ready to engage in information warfare with the Yangtze River System at any time."
"Can you represent the Security Bureau?"
Old Yang glanced at the man with high cheekbones solemnly. When the man fell silent, his eyes fell on Director Yang's face. He closed the pen in his hand, turned the cap to close it, and said calmly: "I will confirm the time as soon as possible, and notify you three days in advance."
Manager Yang nodded: "Yes!"
Elder Yang nodded: "Remember, you are the National Cybersecurity Bureau, I hope you will send out your strongest opponents."
When the man with high cheekbones heard what Mr. Yang said before, he wanted to interrupt and ask him why he really wanted to conduct this experiment that didn't need to be conducted to get the results. But after hearing the last sentence, he hesitated. Didn't Mr. Yang believe the words of the kid who didn't even grow all his hair? Instead, he wanted to teach him a lesson through this matter?
After all, Jiang Chen's achievements at this age have indeed left most scientific researchers behind. If he is well trained and cultivated, his future prospects will definitely be limitless.
The doubts and speculations that the man with high cheekbones had were also shared by others.
The man at Yang Lao's side asked directly: "Teacher, do you really believe that Jiang Chen's system is as powerful as he described?"
Elder Yang did not answer his question, but asked: "How old is the child?"
The man quickly replied, "Eighteen."
“What were you doing when you were eighteen?”
The man paused and said, "I'm in my third year of high school."
"He is also in his third year of high school." Elder Yang swept his majestic gaze across the crowd and said meaningfully, "And every year his overall score is ranked first in the grade and even the city. Not only that, he also independently developed an image processing system during his studies and signed a licensing contract with LiDe. He has his own laboratory at the age of seventeen. Everyone here, who among you can do what he did at his age?"
Several people looked at each other and no one spoke.
Major General Wu admired Jiang Chen, but he had to say something: "This kind of genius is not without precedent. The most recent one is Shi Fengyue, who had his own patent at the age of fifteen. But even so, he is now..." He wanted to say that he had accomplished nothing, but changed his words: "He has deviated from the path of scientific research."
"The kid from the Shi family didn't deviate from the path of scientific research, he just wanted to take a different path." Elder Yang said calmly, "You only see how much time and energy it takes to lead a military exercise or an informationized war, and how many approval reports are needed, but have you ever thought that if what Jiang Chen said is true, if the system in his hands can really work as he said, then even one day later in understanding and using this system will be a huge and inestimable loss to the country."
The conference room fell silent.
If the system Jiang Chen described is really so powerful, then there are so many things it can do. Although Jiang Chen only mentioned its application in the military, everyone here is an expert in this field. Even to think that you can draw inferences about other situations is underestimating them. Just based on what Jiang Chen said, they can think of the various applications of the Yangtze River system in various industries throughout the national network.
If we develop the application of the Yangtze River system one step ahead and put it into use, the development of all industries in our motherland and the country's economy, politics, including diplomacy, will leap forward like a rocket.
Without talking too far ahead, just talking about the World Science and Technology Exhibition in July this year, once the Yangtze River System is exhibited, it will surely become one of the world's most cutting-edge technologies. Then, at the United Nations Diplomatic Conference in October, they can hardly imagine how much advantage Country C will have at the diplomatic level.
But is the Yangtze River really as powerful as Jiang Chen said?
No one present knew the answer, but they had all made up their minds that no matter how much manpower, material resources and energy this experiment would take, they had to do it.
In the corner of the conference room, the young man sitting below the girl covered his heart with his hands, feeling it beating faster and faster. He couldn't help but hugged his head and let out a soft cry.
If it's true! If the Yangtze River is really as powerful as the young man just said, he, he will definitely join his scientific research team even if he has to be shameless! At any cost!
He could imagine that if what he said was true, the company founded by the young man in the future would definitely be the coolest and most exciting place to work in this century! No doubt about it!!!
"C, are you okay?"
Noticing the actions of the young boy next to her, the woman turned slightly and asked in a low voice.
C blushed and shook his head, but froze halfway and nodded.
Something seems to be wrong...
He was socially afraid. If he really wanted to join the boy's lab, he would have to resign and apply again. How many people would he have to recruit after resigning and writing a report? How many rounds of selection would he have to go through to get the job? Just thinking about it gave him goosebumps. But... compared to the world's top computer lab in the future, what were these? !
The woman couldn't understand his movements and frowned slightly: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
C immediately shook his head, avoided the woman's gaze guiltily, and sat up straight.
The woman did not ask any more questions. This new colleague was extremely capable and ranked third on the Wingnet hacker rankings. He had been performing very well since joining the company, but he didn't like to talk much and wasn't very sociable. Letting him stay quiet was the most comfortable way for him.
…
Jiang Chen was unaware of the discussion in the conference room, nor did he know that he had just passed by an online friend with whom he had a good relationship. He was talking to Shi Fengyue on the phone.
"Thank you so much this time." Jiang Chen was basically certain that he had succeeded in achieving his goal at this meeting. He was in high spirits, even his steps were faster than usual, and his tone was full of smiles: "Tell me what you want to eat, I'll treat you to ten meals."
Jiang Chen has devoted himself to research for three lifetimes. The slightly commercial method of dividing intellectual property rights into shares is simply not something that someone like him who has never done business could come up with.
Initially, he just wanted to propose cooperation to Major General Wu to further develop the Yangtze River protection system after the image processing system was completed.
But on the night before the image processing system test meeting, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered the special case of Shi Fengyue - he only had two patents, and only one was in the Seventeenth Institute, but the authority he had was greater than that of some of the main researchers who led research and development. At certain times, he could even directly apply to use the military system.
The military system is extremely comprehensive, but due to its particularity, each system branch is crucial. If you are not in a certain position, it is impossible to open the military system permissions.
But Shi Fengyue did it, and he had experience using the military system before the report was passed. Although several companies jointly suppressed the matter that time, it must be said that the matter was suppressed because of the contract he signed with the military and the research institute.
Jiang Chen learned this from overhearing the matter with Mr. He and He Yanjun at a family dinner, but he was not very clear about the specific treaty. He thought that the fact that the research institute and the military agreed to sign such a treaty was closely related to Shi Fengyue's identity.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately called Shi Fengyue. After all, he had said that he could contact him if he wanted to sign a contract with the research institute.
That night, after listening to all his plans, Shi Fengyue gave him a feasible solution, which was the division of intellectual property rights.
"No need for ten meals." Shi Fengyue's voice seemed a little tired, but with a deep smile: "Come to my house again and cook a meal exactly the same as last time."
Jiang Chen paused, the thought of the bouncing shrimp popping up in his mind unpleasantly. The fishy smell seemed to still be at the corner of his lips, and the slightly rough touch flashed by.
"That part is too simple." Jiang Chen continued to walk forward and said calmly: "You helped me so much, I must thank you properly, and it would be better to eat outside to show my sincerity."
"Where are you going?"
Shi Fengyue agreed so readily. It was obviously the result he wanted, but Jiang Chen felt a little irritated for some reason. All of a sudden, even he himself didn't know what answer he wanted to hear. He changed his hand to hold the phone and said in a light voice: "Let's decide then. I have something to do now. I'll hang up first."
"OK."
Shi Fengyue hung up the phone first. Jiang Chen glanced at the black screen of his phone, raised his hand and waved to Yu Yi who was coming towards him.
Jiang Chen lowered his eyes and smiled faintly: "Sister Yu Yi."
Yu Yi raised her chin towards the conference room and asked, "How is it?"
“It achieved its intended purpose.”
"Not bad." Yu Yi smiled and said, "But I also guessed that you could succeed. You completed a two-year project in half a year. You are the first in the Seventeenth Institute."
"Thank you for the compliment." Jiang Chen responded with a faint smile, his eyes meeting Yu Yi's: "Sister Yu Yi, what do you think of what I told you before?"
"Wait until the results of the meeting come out." Yu Yi said: "Even if I agree to you, it will be useless if you can't sign a contract with the institute, right?"
Jiang Chen nodded: "That's right."
Yu Yi's smile faded a little, and she pursed her lips and said, "Actually, I think you can postpone starting a company. You are only in your third year of high school, and you still have four years of college. You can completely wait until after your sophomore year to consider this matter."
Jiang Chen shook his head, the smile on his face faded a little: "This is what I planned to do, and... I can't wait any longer."
Before, he had been using Changjiang to attack and capture system codes. The system had been in a passive attack state for a while, and Changjiang had captured a lot of useful codes. After analyzing enough codes, Jiang Chen could be sure that it was indeed another programming language, and he now had a direction to crack it.
However, not long ago, the channel established by the system was completed. During this period, the battle between Changjiang and the system was often evenly matched, and neither side could win. But Jiang Chen knew very well that if this continued, the system would sooner or later find Changjiang's loopholes and eventually launch a counterattack.
If it was the interstellar version of the Yangtze River, there would be absolutely no need to worry about the system, but the technology of this era is limited after all. As he just said in the conference room, the version of the Yangtze River in his hand is already the ceiling that technology can reach now or even in the next ten years.
The system is different. It comes from an unknown region and possesses unknown and powerful capabilities. Perhaps after in-depth learning, it will upgrade itself without the need for and without being affected by Earth's technology. In the long run, one day the system will be more powerful than the Yangtze River.
Although this is only the worst result that Jiang Chen speculated, if he had been fighting alone, under the limitation of hardware, Changjiang's growth would never catch up with the growth of the system. Therefore, he must set up a company and his own scientific research team as soon as possible, and he must also cooperate with the national government. Only with the support of the country and the government, and completely raising the hardware level, can Changjiang be invincible, can it truly break through the core of the system, and know the origin and purpose of the system.
Yu Yi didn't know what Jiang Chen was thinking, but she believed in Jiang Chen's ability and would dissuade him only because she thought it would be a waste of his talent if he put too much of his attention on things other than scientific research, such as setting up a company and managing a company.
But everyone has their own choice, and she has no right to interfere.
After saying this, Yu Yi stopped talking and changed the subject: "You won't be coming to the institute starting tomorrow."
It is already May, and there are less than thirty-five days left until the college entrance examination. The image processing system project has been completed. Jiang Chen, who has already taken leave for most of the semester, has to return to school to prepare for the college entrance examination despite receiving one to two or three calls a day from the school.
"It depends on the outcome of this meeting." Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "If everything goes well, I may come to the institute again before the middle of this month."
“When will the new project start?”
Yu Yi was very interested in the Yangtze River protection system that Jiang Chen had briefly described. When Jiang Chen established a military research and development team for image processing systems, she immediately signed up for Jiang Chen's research and development team because she had received information from her previous mentor and knew Jiang Chen's abilities very well.
After just half a year of getting along, she had a deeper understanding of the boy's abilities and was convinced. Long before the end of the project, she had thought that if Jiang Chen became a full-time researcher, she would continue to work in his group. Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen took the initiative to propose that he would establish a scientific research team and invited her to join his team.
When she knew Jiang Chen was going to start a company, she was still hesitant, but after seeing only part of the code of the Yangtze River system, she had made up her mind. Regardless of whether Jiang Chen could reach an agreement with the research institute, she would join Jiang Chen's team.
Besides, she couldn't wait.
"If everything goes well, within two months."
The company has been successfully registered and the office location has been selected early on. It only needs to be simply renovated after signing the contract. There is no need to prepare the laboratory. After the contract is signed, the Seventeenth Institute will naturally provide their team with an independent experimental environment. After these most important things are resolved, other things can be done slowly.
Yu Yi didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so efficient, but this was exactly what she wanted, the sooner the better.
She nodded and promised: "If everything goes well, I will definitely join your scientific research team."
Jiang Chen bent his eyes and extended his hand: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."
Yu Yi smiled and held his hand: "Are you so confident?"
Jiang Chen just smiled and said nothing, but his slightly raised brows had already revealed the answer.
At the corner that the two of them didn't see, a young man was looking confused. He raised his legs and then immediately changed direction. After hesitating several times, he finally made up his mind and went out.
However, as soon as he saw where the two had just stood, the young man was stunned. He quickly caught up with Yu Yi, who had already turned and walked to the end of the corridor, and asked, "Where is Team Leader Jiang?"
Yu Yi paused and raised her eyebrows: "Zhang Lei?"
Zhang Lei looked around and said, "Weren't you standing there talking just now? Where are Jiang Chen and the others?"
"Left." Yu Yi asked, "What do you want to see him for?"
"No." Zhang Lei finished speaking quickly, a trace of annoyance flashed across his eyes. After a moment of silence, he asked tentatively: "What were you talking about just now? Is Jiang Chen preparing for a new project? Did he greet you in advance and let you join his project team?"
Previously in the laboratory, he accidentally overheard the conversation between Jiang Chen and Yu Yi, in which Jiang Chen invited Yu Yi to join his scientific research team. He left after listening for a while, but whenever he was free, he couldn't help but keep wondering what Jiang Chen's next research and development project would be.
Thinking about it day and night would not lead to any result. He wanted to ask directly several times but couldn't bring himself to do it. The longer time went by, the more itchy he felt. However, the longer he put it off, the more he couldn't open his mouth.
His relationship with Jiang Chen has never been good. They had had several conflicts before. Now that the experiment is over, it should be time to part ways. Jiang Chen must be reluctant to cooperate with him anymore - this can be seen from the fact that he took the initiative to invite Yu Yi but never mentioned his scientific research team in front of other people in the laboratory.
But does he really want to give up this opportunity?
He is already 32 years old. The project he had established with great enthusiasm and hope has been going on for ten years without any results. Some time ago, the institute stopped approving funds for him, and the project had to be stopped. He suddenly became an idle staff member, so he was picked by Jiang Chen to join the team. At that time, he was resentful and picky about Jiang Chen, which was a bit like venting after his own research was stopped.
However, after working together for some time, he couldn't help but admire Jiang Chen's outstanding scientific research ability as well as his imagination and creativity. A truly top-notch system developer is not as boring as programmers as outsiders think. On the contrary, imagination and creativity are indispensable.
These things that seem to require natural talent, Jiang Chen has definitely maxed them out. Not only does he have God-given talent, he also has an excellent mind and ability, and he is still so young. It is conceivable that he will achieve something in the future.
If he could join his team, it would be of great help to expand his thinking and improve his abilities. Not only that, he also had a vague feeling in his heart that Jiang Chen's project this time was definitely not simple, and if he could join it, it would definitely be beneficial rather than harmful.
But how could he get Jiang Chen to let him join, and how should he ask?
"Jiang Chen will establish his own scientific research team." This is something that will be made public in the future, so Yu Yi has no need to hide it. However, she heard the inquiry in Zhang Lei's tone, so she smiled and said, "Why? Are you interested?"
Zhang Lei froze, his lips twitched a few times, and finally nodded stiffly: "I am indeed interested in the project he is working on. Can you help me talk to him and let me join his team?"
Yu Yi paused and turned to look at Zhang Lei: "Are you serious?"
Zhang Lei's cheeks were burning, but he still said, "I didn't get along well with him before, and I don't know if he would agree to my joining, so I want to ask you for help... I really want to join his team."
"He won't care about what happened before." Yu Yi said, "But it may be difficult for you to join his team."
Zhang Lei blurted out: "Why?"
Even though his previous projects had not produced any results, the fact that the institute was willing to provide him with funding for ten consecutive years had already indirectly proved his ability. Moreover, he believed that his ability in the Seventeenth Institute was no worse than anyone else. He could not think of any other reason for Jiang Chen not to choose him except for personal grudges.
Yu Yi shook her head, said "You'll know later" and walked past him upstairs.
Once the institute signs a cooperation agreement with Jiang Chen, a scientific research team will be established. With the strength of Changjiang itself, it only needs to spread a little bit of news to let those scientific research fanatics see a little sweetness, even if it is just a line of code, they will scramble to grab a seat.
When the time comes, Zhang Lei will get the answer himself by competing with the top scientific researchers in the country and even the world.
