Battlefield Contractor

"Who are you guys?" Ke Ben said solemnly, "You came to me with guns just to recruit staff in a fast food restaurant?"

Lin Rui looked at him and said, "Have you heard of a private military company?"

"Private military companies? I've heard of some. し Countries around the world tend to outsource some of the original military functions to military service companies, in order to save military expenditures on the name, or reduce personnel maintenance costs. That is in the general sense. pmc company. Are you a weapon manufacturer or a security company?" Cobain looked at Lin Rui.

"Military security company, service industry." Zhao Jianfei smiled. "We represent a new company that you have never heard of, and we really need someone like you."

"I'm not a soldier, except in computer games, I haven't even touched a gun." Cobain frowned, "What do you need me to do?"

"We need you and your team to build an excellent satellite information network for us." Zhao Jianfei said, "Whatever you need, we will try to meet it."

"I'm not interested." Cobain shook his head. "I hate mercenaries. I'm a pacifist."

"Computer hackers have never been pacifists. In a sense, you are also fighters. What do you invade the military and national intelligence agencies many times for? It's just to break through the blockade to show your personality. Just like that. You said that you are a fighter against the authority of the Internet. But you have resisted for a lifetime, and you are still an alternative to the mainstream. And the opportunity we give you now is to become an authority." Lin Rui looked at Ke Ben.

"What do you mean?" Cobain said slowly.

"When the hacker is dead, it is to engage in sabotage and make a small fuss. And you join us will become the information technology director of a military team. Of course, you and your team will also benefit from this. We provide a high level that far exceeds the average company. Salary." Zhao Jianfei smiled.

"We will not sell our lives for money." Cobain sneered.

"Then you can also make other requests, as long as we can meet them." Lin Rui said patiently.

Cobain hesitated for a moment, and said coldly, "Well, you go get me a root server."

"What is that?" Lin Rui frowned.

Zhao Jianfei sneered, “There are 13 root logical domain name servers in the world. The real root servers are 386, distributed on all continents of the world. This is the backbone of the global Internet. The University of Southern California has one for Information Science Research, and the US National Defense The Department of Defense Information Systems also has one, and the U.S. Department of Defense Army Research Institute also has one. This thing cannot be privately owned. Are you mocking us for not knowing it?"

"Oh, it seems that I underestimated you." Cobain smiled and shrugged. "In this case, let's change the conditions. As long as you meet my other requirement, I promise to help you and join the military company you mentioned."

"Very well, change something more reliable and state your conditions." Zhao Jianfei nodded.

"I want a supercomputer." Cobain said casually.

"Supercomputer?" Zhao Jianfei's expression changed slightly.

Cobain's smile was indescribable, "I want the Titans in Oak Ridge National Laboratory."

"Titan supercomputer." Zhao Jianfei took a breath, he knew what this thing was. That's the supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A total of 200 cabinets are designed, covering an area of ​​404 square meters. Once known as the fastest computer in the world, it was surpassed by China's Tianhe-2 and became the second in the world. No one can get this thing. Obviously this is another bad joke of this guy.

Zhao Jianfei was really a little angry. He held the pistol against Cobain's head and said sharply, "Asshole, are you playing with me?"

"Almost." Cobain was a little nervous, but he didn't believe Zhao Jianfei would shoot. So he still calmly said, "You want me to join your company, but you don't even have this strength. How do you make me believe you?"

"What you want is world-class equipment. These equipment alone are worth more than 100 million yuan. How can a private person own it!" Zhao Jianfei said sharply.

"Then you want to build a private satellite network without giving me the corresponding equipment. What can I do?" Cobain sneered. "Don't forget, compared with these devices, I am also world-class."

"These conditions you mentioned are not good, change another one!" Lin Rui resisted the urge to hit this guy with a pistol.

"I want large-scale workstations, blade servers, military-grade. I will give you a list. If you can get these things, we will negotiate terms. If it doesn't work, then it means you don't have the strength to hire me. It's like You hired a pilot, but you only gave him a bicycle. This can't do my part at all, so I can't promise you. If you want to hire me, you can. Let me see your abilities first." Ke Ben smiled proudly. He raised his hand and typed a document on the computer, which was stored in a small mobile storage.

After doing all this, he unplugged the memory and said calmly, "This is my request. You can show it to your boss."

Zhao Jianfei took the memory and frowned slightly, "If we do, how can we contact you?"

"I am here and you can all find me, so I have reason to believe that you will find me next time." Cobain shrugged, "I'm sorry, you two, I have other things." He closed. Mobile computer, smiled and turned away.

Lin Rui tried to stop this desperate guy several times, but after thinking about it, he gave it up. After all, they wanted Ke Ben to cooperate with them willingly, otherwise, even hijacking him would be useless.

So Lin Rui could only look at Zhao Jianfei and said, "That's it for us?"

"What else?" Zhao Jianfei shook his head, "I can only try to contact Long Zhengwu to see what he wants from Ke Ben."

"This guy is really troublesome." Lin Rui shook his head. "I don't think that even Long Zhengwu can meet his requirements. Some of his requirements are simply making things difficult for us."

"Perhaps, but this is the first time we have contacted him after all. Under such circumstances, it is natural for him to be on guard." Zhao Jianfei nodded. He walked outside the room, took out his cell phone, and called Long Zhengwu.

Fatty Long's voice is still as peaceful as ever, "Hello? Zhao Jianfei, it's been a long time, how are you in contact with that Kebain?"

"He is not a good person to deal with." Zhao Jianfei smiled bitterly. "He made a series of unreasonable requests, and finally asked us to agree to some new conditions and talk about it again."

"Oh? What kind of conditions." Fatty Long smiled slightly. "Usually I think that as long as there are conditions, there is still talk."

"He needs some equipment. He said that only when we meet these equipment requirements can he continue talking with us." Zhao Jianfei said solemnly, "However, I look at him, this time it doesn't seem to be a joke."
