Chapter 123 The 123rd Day After Coming Back



——Wing net.

The key words that can be captured almost without thinking are hacker websites that are familiar to everyone present. Some of them can even be said to be among the few people in the world who are most familiar with Wingnet.

On the right side of the screen, an ordinary-looking man raised his eyes, revealing a hint of curiosity and interest on his face, which showed no sign of change even though his attack had just failed.

Some people acted calmly, while others acted surprised, especially the big man who had been so aggressive just now. Before he walked back to his seat, he suddenly heard a familiar website and a familiar name, and immediately stopped and ran towards Jiang Chen again.

"Brother! It's me! Aichi! Do you remember how we knew each other? Last year, when Country J and Country K were fighting each other, we fought side by side and became troublemakers!"

Jiang Chen was a little confused at first, but when he heard the last sentence, something vaguely flashed through his mind. He blinked and hesitated, "H?"

"Right, right!" The big man clapped his hands, his thick black eyebrows showing excitement, "It's me, Ai Chi! I was wondering why your English name sounded familiar to me! It turns out we have known each other for a long time, brother..."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Deputy Director Li coughed deliberately and forcefully, interrupting the big man and saying, "The next game will start soon, go back and prepare first."

The big man could only nod, and reluctantly said to Jiang Chen: "Don't leave after this, let's have a good talk."

If you ignore the tone and only look at the body shape and expression, it seems like he is uttering harsh words.

Jiang Chen was also a little surprised. When he was preparing to establish the team, he thought about inviting hackers from Yiwang to join. However, compared with those great hackers, he had registered with Yiwang relatively recently. Except for 196 and C, he had almost no familiarity with anyone. He didn't understand their temperaments or what they were good at, so this idea had never been put into action.

He had fought side by side with H before and knew that he was not good at attacking methods. However, in terms of safety, almost no one in the entire wing could match him.

In the interstellar age, the core of the protection system is no longer the firewall, but a secure network architecture built by sophisticated algorithms. It combines the advantages of almost all current and future network security tools, and can resist almost all external and internal attacks, including viruses, Trojans, backdoors, etc. It has long lost the limitations of the firewalls of this era. It is not only impregnable, but also unstoppable.

The Yangtze River can resist so many hackers' attacks at the same time because it has long surpassed the "firewall" of this era's technology. In the interstellar era, its name is called "boundary". It has a similar meaning to the barrier in ancient mythology or fantasy novels of Country C. It can resist external attacks, but also does not prevent people inside the barrier from launching external attacks. It can attack and defend.

Every profession has its own specialty. Although Jiang Chen was once the chief researcher of the Yangtze River R&D Laboratory, he is better at architecture and algorithms than security. The Yangtze River is now developed by him, so naturally there will be some shortcomings in security. Even if, as he said, the Yangtze River will be the ceiling of information warfare in the next ten years, what about in fifteen years? What about twenty years?

He could continue to learn about security, but every skill has its own strengths. No matter how much time he spent on security research, he might be able to develop a more advanced security system in fifteen years. But what about the architecture and algorithm? Shouldn't he upgrade them? Giving up what he was good at and using a long time to make up for his weaknesses was definitely not Jiang Chen's way of doing things.

Therefore, the research team he wanted to build needed programmers who were good at security rather than programmers who were good at architecture and algorithms. H in front of him was one of the people he had considered.

Jiang Chen's eyebrows curved, and he smiled and waved to the big man, changing his previous calm but slightly distant calmness: "Let's talk later."

The big man was so excited that he couldn't help stamping his feet when he returned to his seat. The people sitting next to him said: "...Brother, if you stamp your feet again the stool will collapse."

Fortunately, the second game started soon, the big man immediately got into the game, and everyone else focused and started defending.

Almost within ten seconds, the game was over before it even began - the computer screens of all the people sitting there turned into a rotating small planet. People with a good attitude also found that each planet looked different. If someone was interested in astronomy, they might find that most of the planets here were planets that had not yet been discovered on Earth.

But there are not many people here who can keep a good attitude even if they lose the game in ten seconds, or even shorter, three or two seconds. They were secretly selected by the country to participate in this game without any information leaked before, and it was a game of dozens of people against one person/one system. There was no one here who had not wondered who could mobilize such a big show.

They were curious and expectant, and had even been eager to try. They had thought about losing and winning, but had never imagined that they would lose so miserably and saw no hope of winning at all.

Before the game started, and even until now, they were not sure why the country had called them together, but now they could vaguely guess that it must be related to the glowing planet on the screen.

A system that can combine offense and defense and is so powerful in both attack and defense has probably never appeared in the world.

The people present had different expressions, and most of them had their own guesses and ideas.

Jiang Chen is thinking about something else now.

The subsequent research and development of Changjiang will definitely be the highest-level confidential scientific research project in the entire country. The hackers who can appear here, whether they are in the Cyber ​​Security Bureau or non-staff personnel coming as external aid, are all selected by the country through layers of screening. They have clean backgrounds and top-notch skills. They are the most suitable candidates for software selection into the scientific research team. Jiang Chen is very clear about this.

However, Jiang Chen had thought about it as early as the beginning. The entire team should be controlled within twelve people, of which the software (that is, the system upgrade and subsequent development) would not exceed six people including him and Yu Yi. The other six people would focus on developing a CPU that is more suitable for the Yangtze River system.

Among these twelve people, at least three must be from his own team, which means that the people who are signed by the company account for at least a quarter of the entire team, preferably a third. After all, the scientific research team to be formed is not a national scientific research team, nor is it a research institute funded only by the company. Only by clearly dividing the core technology and interests can the entire team be more solid in the future.

At present, Jiang Chen’s idea is that among the other two to three people signed to the company, it would be best if two are security professionals, and one, like him, is responsible for both algorithms and architecture. If both of them specialize in one of them, that can also be considered, and other aspects can be discussed later.

Jiang Chen raised his eyes and looked at the burly man walking towards him with squinted eyes. It was like someone was offering him a pillow when he was sleepy.

However, before the big man had time to get close, Deputy Director Li ran over in small steps and whispered in Jiang Chen's ear: "Student Jiang, come out with me."

Jiang Chen turned his head to look at the burly man, raised his hand to greet him, motioned for him to go over, and followed Deputy Director Li to the second floor.

Before leaving the deputy control room, Jiang Chen passed by a young man wearing black-framed glasses. He leaned against the wall and looked at him with a flushed face. His wide eyes were full of things he wanted to say. Jiang Chen originally wanted to ask him if he knew him, but as soon as Deputy Director Li saw him stop, he immediately urged him on. He could only nod to the young man and pass him by.

"Deputy Director Li." Jiang Chen followed him slowly and asked curiously, "What do you want to ask me?"

Deputy Director Li paused and turned to look at the young but accomplished teenager beside him. He sighed in his heart and said in a low voice, "This game is taken very seriously. A senior leader has been watching the game in the monitoring room. Now that the game is over, I'll take you to see the old man. Don't be nervous. Just answer whatever he asks."

"I see. Thank you, Deputy Director Li."

Jiang Chen remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he was guessing who the person above him might be. Deputy Director Li's position was already high, and the person who could be so respectful and cautiously called "big leader" must be of high status. Several figures that he often saw on TV flashed through his mind, but in the end he couldn't guess who it might be, so he could only quicken his pace to follow Deputy Director Li.

“Boom boom boom—”

The voice inside the door was deep and majestic: "Please come in."

Deputy Director Li straightened the hem of his striped T-shirt, gave Jiang Chen a reassuring look, opened the door and stepped in first. Jiang Chen followed closely behind him. When he saw the two old men standing inside, even though he was prepared, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He had guessed many people, and it was undeniable that this person also appeared in his guess. However, yesterday's news showed him visiting Country A, sitting in the White House and shaking hands cordially with the then President of Country A. Therefore, he ruled out this possibility as soon as it came to his mind. After all, apart from the itinerary, Jiang Chen did not think that before the official launch of his project, there would be a chance for this busy old man in front of him to inspect it.

However, no matter how unbelievable it was, he had to believe that the kindly smiling old man in front of him was really standing here.

"Kid." The old man waved at him with a gentle but not majestic smile. "Is your name Jiang Chen? I just saw the system you designed. It's very powerful."

Jiang Chen calmed down, walked up to the old man, and said politely and respectfully: "Master Zou..."

The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "Just call me grandpa. Today, Grandpa Zou was dragged over by an old friend to see the child he admired. It turns out that he is indeed extraordinary."

Jiang Chen was not too surprised. In fact, as early as when he saw Mr. Xiang standing with the old man in front of him, he guessed the reason why the busy old man appeared here - Mr. Xiang had said he wanted to give him a gift.

This gift is so precious that it cannot be described. Jiang Chen can only bury his gratitude deep in his heart and savor the warmth and caring heart.

"Grandpa Zou." Jiang Chen readily followed suit. After a brief moment of surprise, he quickly regained his usual composure. His expression was calm, with a faint hint of a peaceful and calm smile in his eyes. He said, "Do you mind if I introduce Changjiang to you?"

"Yangtze River?" The old man was surprised for a moment, then laughed out loud: "What a good name."

Jiang Chen smiled and thanked him, then spoke slowly and unhurriedly, using the two information wars just now to briefly introduce the Yangtze River's attack and defense system in a way that even laymen could understand. He also mixed in a lot of his own personal opinions, such as the future development trends of the Internet and the importance of information security.

The old man listened carefully, his tone was kind, but his eyes were sharp and majestic: "If future wars will be mainly information warfare, do you think the Yangtze River can have a place in it?"

Jiang Chen responded calmly: "The development of the Internet is faster than any other industry, but the deep learning algorithm that Changjiang possesses can ensure that it is always one or even ten steps ahead of others. If Changjiang's various programs can be improved as soon as possible, and servers that can bear Changjiang's load for a long time can be developed, then Changjiang will not only have a place, but most of the country."

There was surprise in the old man's eyes. Over the years, few people could speak so freely in front of him. However, compared with the boy's boldness, he cared more about his clean and clear eyes and eyebrows. He had both the purity of a teenager and the calmness that can only be possessed after going through ups and downs and polishing. Even though he had seen countless people, he found it very difficult to find a few whose temperament could match that of the boy in front of him.

"I heard you once said that Changjiang can not only win in information warfare, but also gain an advantage in a real battlefield."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Yes."

"Has the time for the military exercise been decided?"

“Not yet.”

The old man smiled and said, "How about now?"

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, and quickly replied: "No problem."

After the old man's order was issued, it was executed at an astonishing speed. When Jiang Chen and Xiang Lao arrived at the military area hidden in the deep forest of the neighboring province by car, an officer led a team to greet them. He helped Xiang Lao get out of the car, and with a quick glance, he could tell at a glance that the team of soldiers in front of him was not simple, at least they should be special forces.

The soldier standing at the front saluted and spoke to the old man from a distance. Jiang Chen could only judge from his shoulder straps that he was of high rank, but he could not tell anything else.

Jiang Chen and Xiang Lao stood where they were, looking at the people talking in front of them, waiting for the next instructions. They saw the most military officer suddenly nodded and waved, and a soldier ran out from the troops behind him. He lowered his head and said something to the soldier, and the dark-skinned soldier ran towards them.

The soldier saluted, introduced himself, and said to Jiang Chen with a serious face: "We have prepared what you need, just follow me."

Jiang Chen glanced at Xiang Lao, who looked around and said, "I'll stroll over in a while, you go with him first."

"Watch your step."

This place is located next to a deep mountain, and the road is all mud and stone. Even at the entrance of the military zone, it is not very smooth. Mr. Xiang is old, and Jiang Chen is still a little worried, so he gave him one reminder after another.

"Walk slowly, don't fall."

"Am I the old man or are you the old man? You are so long-winded!"

Mr. Xiang waved his hands, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward.

Jiang Chen smiled helplessly and left with the little soldier.

"Do you have satellite network here?" Jiang Chen walked behind the soldier and asked while looking around.

The young soldier nodded seriously: "Yes, we have satellite TV and satellite phone. We are not allowed to use them during normal times, but we can set aside time every week to call our families."

Jiang Chen didn't mean to ask this, but after hearing him say this, he couldn't help but think of the days at the Imperial Military Research Institute.

It was an independent and primitive planet with few modern equipment. Although they were researchers, their living conditions and rules and regulations were almost the same as those of the military stationed there, except for their daily routines. Although the future network could allow people on two planets to communicate unimpeded, due to the confidentiality of the project and military training, the entire planet blocked all signals most of the time.

Whenever the fixed communication day came, most researchers and soldiers would be excited for a long time. However, Jiang Chen had no relatives at that time, and his only good friend was in the same research institute. He had almost no ties with anyone, so on this day every month he would find a place to dine alone, missing his family from his previous life.

Later, Liao Zhe somehow discovered his secret base and he was never able to find peace again.

It has been nearly two years since he returned to the present world. He has parents and good friends here, and he hasn't thought about the people and things in his previous life for a long time. Now he suddenly returns to an environment that is not similar, but feels no different. He can't help but think of the people he hasn't thought of for a long time.

Jiang Chen was immersed in his memories and didn't pay attention to his surroundings until the soldier spoke. He stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked into the house with peeling walls. He couldn't help but hesitate: "Is this a training base?"

The soldier nodded and walked in first, saying as he led the way: "Inside."

Jiang Chen followed behind him, looking around this computer room which looked like an ordinary office, or even more shabby. Several ordinary computers were placed casually on the tables. Although the screens were wiped clean and spotless, the yellowish shell of the bulky computers betrayed the meticulous cleaning.

Going further in, there is another machine room, which is no different from the one outside. After passing through five machine rooms, the soldier stopped in front of a door. It was a green-painted door that looked no different from the previous ones, but Jiang Chen keenly discovered that the keyhole surface of this door was a little different.

Sure enough, the soldier gently turned the lock, and there were two clicks, revealing the combination lock inside. He entered the password skillfully, and the green painted door clicked open. Jiang Chen looked up and felt suddenly enlightened, as if he had discovered a different world.

"This is……"

The high-tech in front of him contrasted sharply with the dilapidated computer room outside. Looking at the huge electronic screen in front of him, Jiang Chen was slightly surprised. In the interstellar era, because he had spent quite a long time in the military research institute of the empire, he had some understanding of the armament strength and modern military equipment of various countries before the interstellar migration. However, most of the information was lost at that time, including the strategic situation of various countries, so he could not say that he knew it very well.

At least, from the information he saw at the time, Country C in 05 should not have such a high-tech director's hall.

"We were in a hurry to prepare, so we can only have two teams for the exercise for now."

Behind Jiang Chen, a loud voice approached with footsteps. The officer who had spoken to the old man before walked over, pointed at every detail on the giant screen and explained to him: "Each team has sixteen people, and those are equipment vehicles, two per team, and the weapons are..."

Jiang Chen was listening carefully, and asked a few questions related to weapons from time to time. The officer was surprised to see that every question he asked hit the point, and asked: "Do you like to watch military channels?"

"Somewhat interested." Jiang Chen smiled, but did not say that his database contained most of the weapons information that had already been released to the world. Although the secret research could not be loaded into the database, most of the weapons used in this exercise were already on the market. He knew that if he wanted to conduct a military exercise, he would naturally do his homework in advance.

The officer nodded without saying anything more. When a soldier came to report, he said to Jiang Chen, "Are you ready? The Blue Team will be under your command. What you need to do is to make the Blue Team win over the Red Team under the command of your system."

Jiang Chen turned on the computer and loaded the data: "Ready."

As the words fell, a red flare was launched into the sky, and the two teams on the training ground were ready to go.

Both sides are elites in the army and have probably had a lot of actual combat experience, but this is the first time for such an exercise. They have been fighting under the command of the headquarters for nearly a year, so even if the commander connected by headset is said to be artificial intelligence, there is no need for adaptation or running-in.

The Red Team attacked fiercely and soon drove their only armored vehicle towards this side. At the same time, other soldiers hid in concealment, either outflanking or sniping.

The blue team had not received any orders yet. The captain stood there with a frown on his face. He wanted to give orders to his soldiers, but his duty as a soldier forced him to obey orders. Now that the orders had not been issued yet, he could only wait.

Suddenly, a voice came from the headset, "Everyone take cover at three o'clock. Snipers are ready. Everyone else wait."

The captain of the blue team raised his hand and immediately acted according to the instructions. They had just ambushed in the designated building when they saw members of the red team moving not far away.

"Sniper, attack."

The sniper aimed at the Red Team member and shot him, killing one of them. Just as the sniper was preparing to wait, another Red Team member appeared. The sniper reacted quickly and pulled the trigger at the same time as the headset sounded.

"Sniper any opponents you see."

Bang, bang, bang…

The people on the Blue Team looked at each other in bewilderment, completely unaware of what was going on with the Red Team. They had already sniped five people on their side, and they should have known that there were ambushes and snipers here, so why were there still people constantly running into their shooting range?

Except for the sniper, the rest of them didn't need to do anything, as half of their manpower had already been lost.

However, what was even more bizarre was that the people on the Red Team seemed to be half possessed, and they rushed out one by one. Although their movements were very alert and covert, they all came from actual combat experience. The Blue Team also occupied the sniper position with the best vision, so no matter how cautious the Red Team was, they could still hit every target accurately.

After a while, only two people in the armored vehicle were left on the Red Team.

The captain of the blue team frowned and couldn't help but whispered, "What are they doing?"

The earphone gave another command: "Except for the sniper, everyone move out and capture the enemy alive."

The captain had been waiting for an inexplicable amount of time, and immediately waved his hand to lead the team downstairs. He thought that facing the sturdy armored vehicle would be a battle of offense and defense. Who knew that as soon as they went down, the door of the armored vehicle opened automatically. The people of the blue team and the red team stared at each other, obviously not realizing the situation. Although both sides reacted quickly, the blue team had the advantage in numbers and captured the red team with almost no effort.

The personnel of one side were either killed or captured. The exercise ended unprecedentedly quickly, and the whole development process was confusing. The captain of the blue team and the captain of the red team looked at each other and walked quickly to the exercise room.

At this moment, the people watching in the training room were also stunned.

The people at the Red Team headquarters wanted to curse, but when they thought about the kind of people who were watching the game, they had to grit their teeth and bear it.

Only the officer who had been standing beside Jiang Chen was thoughtful: "You can actually fight like this."
