April passed in a flash, and when the May Day holiday began, Jiang Chen's team's military image processing system, after numerous experiments, finally entered the army for small-scale testing. If the system runs without any problems, it will soon be put into the national public security system.
As a temporary parachuted non-staff member who caused a lot of controversy due to his young age, the team led by Jiang Chen achieved such achievements in just half a year, which really surprised many people. On the first day of the system loading experiment, Major General Wu and the top leaders of the institute attended the signing meeting.
In the conference room, Jiang Chen sat on the left side of the main seat, calmly facing the stares of a group of military industry experts who often appeared in various journal news.
"The young are to be feared."
Opposite Jiang Chen, a gray-haired old man pushed up his silver-rimmed glasses and gave a light compliment. The old man's mouth was naturally downward, and the deep nasolabial folds on both sides made him look extremely majestic and difficult to get along with. The tone of his compliment also proved this.
"Thank you, Professor Yang."
Jiang Chen stood up, bowed slightly, and sat down calmly, neither arrogant nor impatient, but open and calm.
The old man's eyes flashed with admiration, but when he spoke, his tone was more majestic than before: "I heard that you are not planning to fully authorize the ownership of the system to the country, but hope to start a company, apply for a patent and put it on the market."
"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded slightly and looked directly into the old man's eyes, his gaze calm but respectful: "I hope that the institute can divide the intellectual property rights and transfer part of the patents to the institute. After the company is established, the institute will have part of the profits of the image processing system according to the shareholding ratio. These profits can be invested in the research institute as a research fund."
The old man's eyes were scrutinizing, and a faint pressure came over him. He said, "This seems to be a contract that is completely beneficial to the institute. Without spending a penny, we can get a potentially large amount of funds."
Jiang Chen's eyes curved, his tone clear as that of a teenager: "Why do you have to make fun of me, Mr. Yang? My plan is entirely for the protection of the institute. When a company is first established, it is inevitable that it will encounter various troubles. I just want to concentrate on research."
"If you're afraid of trouble, why bother to start a company?" Mr. Yang said calmly, "Just stay at the institute. I'll make an exception and transfer you to a full-time researcher. I can also make arrangements for Huada's courses. As long as you complete the full credits and maintain excellent grades, the school won't ask about your attendance rate."
Jiang Chen: "How did Mr. Yang know that I could maintain my excellence even if I didn't go to school? Hua University is full of talented people. If I can't keep up with the classes, wouldn't it be a waste of more than ten years of hard study?"
"Will you be unable to follow the lessons?"
"Won't."
The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth were slightly curved, but his slightly raised eyebrows couldn't hide his youthful spirit, which was clear and bold.
"Then why bother talking to me about this nonsense." His tone was like a rebuke, but a smile flashed across his eyes. Old Yang brought back the previous topic and said in a deep voice: "Tell me what you think. Doing research and starting a company are not the same thing."
Jiang Chen was well prepared. He stood up, turned on the computer and the projector at the same time.
The PPT background on the screen is simple and the text is concise.
"The Yangtze River image processing system, our team is currently developing a military version, but the initial version I have was originally positioned for home use. It..." Jiang Chen slowly introduced the feasibility of the image processing system being put into the market, as well as the various functions that can be developed in the future. "Not only in the military, the image processing system is also used in medicine and even radar, and our company's products are only suitable for home use. If other fields want to use the Yangtze River image processing system for other research and development, we can authorize them to conduct research. The licensing fees will also be divided between the institute and the company I am about to establish according to equity."
The meeting room was very quiet, and the faces of several bigwigs did not show much fluctuation, including that of Mr. Yang who was sitting opposite Jiang Chen.
However, after Jiang Chen finished speaking and sat down, the middle-aged man at the bottom of Elder Yang spoke up: "Your idea is very good and commercial. If you put this idea in front of those investors, they will probably provide funds for you to set up a research laboratory, or even provide you with a considerable amount of start-up funds. A research institute should not be your first choice."
"The research institute has always been my first choice." Jiang Chen shifted his gaze slightly and nodded politely to the middle-aged man. However, his words made everyone present change their expressions slightly. He said, "I not only want to cooperate with the research institute, but also with the government and the country."
"Young man, you are so arrogant." The man with high cheekbones sitting below laughed and raised his chin slightly to look at Jiang Chen: "Do you think that if you just come up with an achievement and make a little success, you can get the country's protection and let you have smooth sailing in the future?"
He didn't say the last two words, but Jiang Chen could hear them.
--joke.
Is it a joke? Jiang Chen curled his lips slightly. You will know after you watch it.
"Professor Xu, although I am young, I don't think that my image processing system alone can gain everyone's recognition." Jiang Chen tapped on the keyboard quickly and said, "This is another system I developed on my own. The Changjiang Image Processing System is only a part of it. I call it - Changjiang."
"Yangtze?"
Everyone looked up at the screen in the front, and an image made up of blue dotted lines and resembling an asteroid appeared on the screen with the Milky Way as the background.
Jiang Chen tapped the keyboard with his fingers, and the slowly rotating dotted lines on the screen became solid, then shrank little by little, turning into a star and blending into the Milky Way in the background.
"Please allow me to introduce this system." Jiang Chen stood up. The Yangtze River on the screen, which was rotating with the stars, shone brightly. A part of it fell into his eyes: "Yangtze River, an artificial intelligence protection system, has its own firewall and the ability to attack and invade other networks. I won't go into details about home use and other aspects. In the military field, its powerful algorithms and databases give it a strong judgment ability, which is equivalent to the brainstorming of hundreds of military strategic deployment experts. It can not only automatically open the protection system when foreign enemies invade, but also adjust the strategy according to the battlefield situation during the battle. When all the weapons in the military warehouse are implanted in the Yangtze River database, he can complete a war alone."
Jiang Chen turned around, his eyes sweeping across the people with different expressions one by one, the corners of his mouth raised in a casual and unrestrained arc.
"And it's a battle that must be won."
It is undeniable that Jiang Chen’s words deeply moved them, and they couldn’t help but start to imagine that if such a system really existed, it would not take even a few years for Country C to become a world superpower. This pie was too big and too exaggerated.
Someone came back to his senses from his imagination. The middle-aged man with high cheekbones said coldly: "What you said is simply nonsense. Have you ever fought in a war? You are talking about a battle that is sure to be won. It's meaningless."
Jiang Chen was not angered by his words, but looked at everyone present calmly: "The research and development of hot weapons is only for deterrence. A real hot weapons confrontation, at least in our country, is unlikely to happen in the next few decades. But I can assert that within ten years, network technology will develop to an incredible level. At that time, the war will be transformed into an informationized war. Whoever occupies the high ground of the informationized war will be invincible, and the Yangtze River is the ceiling of the informationized war."
The tone of his words was quite loud. Even those who had been shaken by the blueprint he had drawn before shook their heads. Even Major General Wu sighed in his heart.
After all, you are still young and you think too naively.
Elder Yang looked solemn: "How do you prove that your system has the capabilities you claim?"
Jiang Chen pursed his lips and smiled: "If possible, I hope you will allow me to show my strength."
Major General Wu said in a deep voice: "Come."
As soon as he finished speaking, the research institute suddenly sounded an alarm that the network was under attack. A blue light flickered on the wall. Everyone present subconsciously stood up and wanted to go out to check the situation. However, as soon as they opened the door, the blue light stopped flickering.
Only Old Yang had a look of surprise in his eyes, standing still like a mountain.
"Major General..."
The young researcher ran over in a hurry and happened to see someone in the conference room opening the door to go out to check the situation. He didn't even have time to say hello before he said breathlessly: "Someone just hacked into our system and left immediately before we found out, leaving only two words..."
Major General Wu quickly asked: "Which two words?"
"'strength'."
Everyone present was stunned, then came to their senses and looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen stood up, and Major General Wu quickly asked the young researcher to go out, closed the door and asked, "Did you do that just now?"
“It’s the Yangtze River.”
Someone speculated: "Did you allow it to penetrate the institute's firewall before the meeting started?"
Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head: "It only started invading when I said to show its strength."
"How is that possible!" Someone said directly, "The firewall of the research institute is the latest version developed by the Security Bureau. Not to mention your firewall, even the most powerful hacker would need at least half an hour to break through it. How long did it take you to break in? Two seconds or three seconds?"
"One second." Jiang Chen added: "Less than one second. The alarm device in the research institute seems to have a delay."
"How, how is it possible?"
Silence spread in the conference room. The middle-aged man next to Mr. Yang said, "How can we believe that you didn't make preparations from the beginning, but really used your system to break into the firewall of the institute in one second?"
"I can continue to prove it." Jiang Chen said: "If the leaders have the power to guarantee that I will not be held responsible, Changjiang can even enter the national arsenal system, obtain the secret key of the nuclear weapons, and check the password once, and naturally be able to determine Changjiang's role."
It was obvious that Jiang Chen's words were made out of sheer ignorance of the immensity of the world, but perhaps it was because his tone was too confident that the disbelief they felt in their hearts was shaken. Could this system really be as powerful as he said?
It doesn't even need to be as good as he said. Even if we can only achieve one or two points of what he said, it can have an immeasurable impact on the country.
But how could they know the secret key to nuclear weapons? It is something that is only in the hands of a few top leaders. Could it be that this guy knows this and is deceiving them?
Someone looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously, but Jiang Chen did not dodge and let him look at him. He even pursed his lips slightly, and the dimple on his left cheek was faintly visible.
Very well behaved.
He doesn't look like someone who would lie.
You can tell at first glance that he's a good kid.
The man retracted his gaze. Don't be fooled by this kid's appearance. When he said this just now, his tone was so arrogant. Even if he was not lying, he was too young.
Jiang Chen didn't know what the person looking at him was thinking. He just thought that this middle-aged man was quite kind. After smiling, he also knew that what he had just said had no possibility of being implemented, at least not now.
He smiled and said, "No matter how you want to prove it, Changjiang is willing to accept the challenge."
"Including conducting military exercises and engaging in an information war with the National Cybersecurity Agency?"
Jiang Chen remained calm and smiled, "Anytime."
