Chapter 174 It's all a lie

"Wow, Brother Huan, do you think this is one of those urban novels on Chuangshi?"

Zhuang Zicheng completely collapsed. Could it be that our Young Master Huan has read too many online novels?

Do you really think hackers are omnipotent?

"What? Can't do it?" Yang Huan was puzzled.

The hacker legends I heard about in my previous life seemed very awesome.

Although it is not as outrageous as The Matrix, it is also very lofty.

I guess this young guy didn't learn enough.

"Then, please help me check whether the United States has really captured aliens."

Zhuang Zicheng smiled bitterly. It seemed that this Young Master Huan really had a sci-fi interest.

"Is it still not enough?" Yang Huan was depressed.

This is not okay, that is not okay, you are still a shitty hacker.

"At the very least, you can help me hack some female celebrities and dig up some private photos, that's fine, right?"

Zhuang Zicheng still smiled bitterly, "Brother Huan, I am a hacker with integrity."

"Moral integrity?" Yang Huan burst out laughing. In this day and age, is moral integrity still required for a hacker?

"Why don't you just tell me how much your moral integrity is per pound, and I'll buy it."

Zhuang Zicheng also had to smile bitterly. Outsiders always thought that hackers were mysterious and awesome, but in fact, only they themselves knew that hackers were not as mysterious and outrageous as the legend said.

"Tell me, what is the most awesome thing you have ever done?" Yang Huan simply laid it out.

Zhuang Zicheng thought for a moment and asked, "Have you heard of the Sino-US hacker war in 2001?"

“I’ve heard of it.” Yang Huan had heard of it in his previous life. That battle was extremely brutal.

Looking at Zhuang Zicheng's expression again, Yang Huan was a little surprised, "Don't tell me you participated in that hacker war."

He is eighteen years old now, and ten years ago, he was only eight years old.

Oh my god, an eight-year-old kid goes to a black American website?

"I first hacked into the White House website." Zhuang Zicheng said calmly.

“Is this true or false?”

"I don't have to lie, right?"

Yang Huan thought about it and it made sense. This happened several years ago.

"Brother Huan, in my opinion, hackers are people who are very interested in computers, networks and other related technologies. They are not as omnipotent as many people think."

Having said that, he is still a legendary hacker after all.

"Honestly, do your family members know about this?"

Zhuang Zicheng nodded, "I know."

"Then what?" Yang Huan asked curiously.

"Nothing special. I go to school when I should and take holidays when I should.

As if afraid that Yang Huan would misunderstand that he had used his family's background, Zhuang Zicheng added: "In fact, there are many hackers in our country. Some are doctors, some work in Internet companies, and some create Trojans themselves but work for antivirus software that kills Trojans. It's just that ordinary people don't know about it."

"Oh." Yang Huan understood a little.

The mystery of hackers lies in the fact that ordinary people don’t understand them. People who really understand them think they are very ordinary.

Of course, this is because they did not do anything illegal, or did not leave any traces.

"Brother Huan, let's get back to our business." Zhuang Zicheng immediately turned back to the topic that had gone off topic.

"Invest in my research and development of a virtual helmet."

"I invest? Don't you have any money yourself?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

Zhuang Zicheng smiled bitterly, "Brother Huan, you know my family's situation. How much money can my family have?"

Yang Huan knew something about the banker. Keeping oneself clean and being an honest official were their family motto.

In fact, many people have some misunderstandings about officialdom, especially those in high positions, and think that the higher the official, the more corrupt he or she is.

Not necessarily.

This is often due to the wrong impression caused by the corruption of small officials at the grassroots level.

The infighting in official circles today is so severe and the competition is so fierce that once you come to the fore, you will find countless eyes staring at you from behind, and every time you extend a hand, you are leaving a handle in the hands of others.

The more greedy you are, the more evidence you will have. Even if you act secretly, there will always be clues.

Isn’t there a saying that goes like this?

It takes a hundred lies to cover up one lie.

How many lies do you have to tell to cover up these 100 lies?

The net of heaven is vast and wide, and nothing can escape it. This is the truth.

Let me ask you, can such a person have a successful career in the government?

Getting promoted and making money are actually two different paths.

There is no doubt that in Yang Huan's view, the banker is undoubtedly famous, but he does not have much money.

There was not much money left at home, and even less to give to Zhuang Zicheng.

"Then why don't you just find a rich and unkind person on the street, hack into his bank account, and transfer the money out?"

Zhuang Zicheng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "This is against the law."

"What are you afraid of? You are a hacker!" Yang Huan felt that to be a hacker one has to act like the best in the world.

Otherwise, why do so many people worship hackers like the heroes in martial arts novels?

Zhuang Zicheng was speechless. Did he really think hackers didn't need to spend money?

There were times when I was punished by the teacher to stay in school and make him copy homework!

Yang Huan looked at his depressed expression and laughed happily in his heart.

He just wanted to put pressure on Zhuang Zicheng in this way on purpose, otherwise how could he be obedient in the future?

Realizing that the time was almost right, Yang Huan changed the subject.

"But since you, Zicheng, have asked for it yourself, then tell me what you think. As long as the idea isn't too bad, I'll invest in it."

Investing is a small matter. The most important thing is to attract a talented hacker.

"Really?" Zhuang Zicheng was full of surprise.

I can't believe this guy is so simple-minded.

"Really? Tell me about it." Yang Huan was quite serious.

The virtual helmet is very useful to him.

In fact, whether the Chinese men's football team can win the World Cup in the future depends on it!

Zhuang Zicheng immediately got ready to go. "Brother Huan, the hardware of this virtual helmet is not very difficult. Even in Shenzhen, it is not too difficult to find someone to make one. The key lies in the software technology, especially the algorithm."

Seeing that Yang Huan was listening with great interest, Zhuang Zicheng continued speaking.

"First, you tried this virtual helmet. You must have found it to be fake, right?"

"It's not just fake, it's even more fake than a knockoff!" Yang Huan was very angry about this, it was too misleading.

Zhuang Zicheng smiled slightly, "This is mainly because the image it shows is different from the image our brain expects."

"To give the simplest example, if we face the door directly and if we face it diagonally, the images we see are different, and the position of the door in our field of vision is also different."

This is normal. Looking straight ahead and looking sideways have different angles, so the field of vision is definitely different.

"So, once this kind of movement occurs, the positions where the objects in our field of vision should appear are inconsistent with the positions expected by our brain. When there is a deviation, the brain will tell us that it is fake."

Yang Huan understood. After all, it was all a scam, a big scam.

The so-called virtual reality is to fool yourself by using images to fool your brain.

"In order to make the objects in the virtual screen appear accurately in the corresponding positions, it is necessary to track the wearer's every move, even the slightest movement, with the utmost precision. We think it would be best to be able to distinguish one millimeter of movement from two meters away."

"In addition, the latency must be reduced to at least 20 milliseconds, or even less than 10 milliseconds, preferably zero latency."

Yang Huan had no idea about these seemingly complicated things and was still confused after listening to them.

"Why don't you just tell me directly, how confident are you that you can do it?"

Zhuang Zicheng thought for a moment and said, "It depends on many factors, such as how much money do you plan to invest?"

"Tell me about it!" Yang Huan was really interested.

In his previous life, he didn’t know much about virtual helmets, but it felt like a cutting-edge technology and it would be nice to study it and have some fun with it.

"It has to be at least seven figures, and it's in US dollars. The more money we have, the more budget we have to invite the best technical talents and experts to conduct joint research, and the higher the success rate. You know, research nowadays is a money-burning thing."

Yang Huan nodded to show his understanding, "Okay, I'll give you eight figures."

"Renminbi?" Zhuang Zicheng frowned. It wasn't enough.

"Pounds!" Yang Huan retorted unhappily.

An eight-digit sum of RMB, is that something that Master Huan can take out?

Are you underestimating me too much?

Zhuang Zicheng was so frightened that he stood up. "Over 10 million pounds? Are you sure?"

"Nonsense, what a fuss. Is 10 million pounds enough for the initial payment?" Yang Huan seemed to be very wealthy.

"Enough!" Zhuang Zicheng nodded without hesitation. This was 10 million pounds, and it was an initial investment.

"I immediately started preparations and invited the best experts and talents to come to China to form this research team."

It can be seen that this guy is also very enthusiastic about virtual reality technology. After all, once this thing is successful, it will bring amazing changes.

"You decide, but I have a condition." Yang Huan said with a smile.

"You decide." In Zhuang Zicheng's eyes, as long as Yang Huan was willing to invest, the terms would be negotiable.

"If you work for me, you have to follow my orders. For example, if I tell you to hack someone, you have to hack that person."

Zhuang Zicheng frowned when he heard this, "Brother Huan, you're not really planning to let me help you discredit a female celebrity, are you?"

"Bullshit, am I so vulgar?" Yang Huan cursed with a smile, he was just saying it casually just now.

Besides, it’s not easy to hook up with female celebrities. Just spend money and all the female celebrities will come to you and lick your ass.

"I was wrong, Brother Huan!" Zhuang Zicheng admitted his mistake sincerely.

This is my future brother-in-law and future boss. I can't offend him.

"What I mean is, I'll prepare it later, and you can help me hack into some of my software, find some loopholes or something, and help me fix them."

"Oh, this is easy, I can do it!" Zhuang Zicheng happily agreed.

After seeing off the satisfied Zhuang Zicheng, Yang Huan threw the disgusting fake virtual helmet to him and then called Zhang Ning in to talk to her about the matter.

"Master Huan, ten million pounds..." Zhang Ning's face was full of black lines.

Isn't this money being spent too quickly?

“Yes, I think this is very promising.”

Zhang Ning smiled bitterly, there are so many promising industries.

Just like things like driverless cars, drones, chips, etc., can you invest in them all?

"Master Huan, the main problem is that you don't have that much money in your account!"

Yang Huan suddenly realized that he had divided up all the money when he left England.

"It's okay, I'll give it to you when the money for March arrives!"

Anyway, I now earn about 30 million pounds a month from the two games Cut the Rope and Temple Run, so what is there to be afraid of?

"Master Huan, this is not a solution." Zhang Ning advised in distress.

"What's the meaning?"

Zhang Ning sighed deeply. "Currently, the largest revenue source for the entire WeChat company comes from the gaming department, which is supported by the two games Cut the Rope and Temple Run. This is a very dangerous situation, especially since our new game Puzzle & Dragons did not perform well in the trial release. The outside media have already hyped it up, saying that we have run out of ideas and are starting to go downhill."

"Who said that?" Yang Huan was annoyed. This young master still has a lot of killer moves that he hasn't used yet!

"Almost everyone is saying it, but that's how the media is. It's common for them to kick someone when they're down, but it also fully exposes our problem, which is what are we going to do if the revenue of the two games is not good?"

Zhang Ning shook his head. "Many venture capital firms have already significantly lowered their valuations of us. Even many venture capital firms that wanted to invest in us before but were rejected by us have now made statements."

"What?" Yang Huan asked with a serious face.

"They said if we needed investment, we should go to them and ask for it."

"Please help me!" Yang Huan was furious.

"Isn't it just a game? Young Master, I can make one for them in a minute!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Yang Huan stood up immediately.

"Zhang Ning, help me book the earliest flight back to London. Also, inform the people in the game department that I will have a meeting as soon as I return to the UK."

Speaking of this, Yang Huan looked indignant.

"Running out of ideas? Humph! I'll let them open their eyes and see who is running out of ideas!"
