My science and technology museum

At this moment, in the security building, because Kaufman, Mike and others were all focused on Wu Kangsheng, hoping that he could decipher the key needed to recover the files, they did not immediately discover that the popularity of Star Shield had spread to the external network. .

Wu Kangsheng was surrounded by so many people. Although he could still maintain confidence at the beginning, as time went by, the sweat on his forehead gradually increased.

Unexpectedly, the actual difficulty of deciphering the key was much higher than he imagined.

It’s just that the bull has been blown.

If the final result is the same as Pingguo Weiruan and others, wouldn't it mean that the artificial intelligence he developed is of no use.

He couldn't accept this shame no matter what.

So we can only grit our teeth to withstand all the pressure and use various methods to try to crack it.

that's all.

I don’t know how much time passed, but when everyone else was almost exhausted and sleepy, Wu Kangsheng’s voice full of excitement finally sounded in the information room.

"We made it!"

"Has the key been deciphered?" Kaufman, who was the first to react, quickly walked up to Wu Kangsheng and spoke to confirm the situation.

"With the help of Alpha's analysis and calculation, we successfully obtained a key. As long as the encrypted files can be successfully restored, it means that the key can be used."

Facing Kaufman's inquiry, Wu Kangsheng suppressed the excitement in his chest and tried to use the key to recover the data information while talking.

However, seeing such a scene, except for Mike who also expressed excitement, Pingguo and the technicians sent by Weiruan Company looked a little unnatural, as if they were secretly planning something in their hearts.

It is undoubtedly a good thing for them to be able to decipher the key, but the biggest contributor cannot fall on Guge's artificial intelligence Alpha.

Mainly artificial intelligence is recognized as the most competitive technology in the future industry. The three of them began research on artificial intelligence a long time ago, trying to apply it to various scenarios to achieve the best results.

But so far there have been no major technological breakthroughs.

On the contrary, Future Technology, an emerging company, has achieved technological overtake in the field of artificial intelligence.

In this way, two excellent products, Magic Star Engine and Yinglong chip design software, were developed.

Therefore, they are also under a lot of pressure. In the past two years, they have increased their investment in research in the field of artificial intelligence, which can be regarded as a layout for the future.

Originally there was no problem with the three parties balancing each other, but if Guge rises first and really develops a very powerful artificial intelligence, it will pose some threat to the other two.

Unfortunately, their worries proved to be unfounded.

Just when Wu Kangsheng took the so-called key that was deciphered to recover the encrypted files, he found that it had no effect at all and all data information was still locked.

In other words, the key he worked hard to decipher for a long time was fake.

"How could this not be effective? It shouldn't be. There must be something wrong somewhere."

Wu Kangsheng was unwilling to accept this result. He murmured repeatedly and tried to decipher it again, but before he could do it, Kaufman, who had completely lost his patience, pulled him up.

"What a useless piece of trash, get out of here!"

Perhaps because of the heavy blow in his heart, Wu Kangsheng doubted the artificial intelligence he developed for the first time. He did not expect that after putting so much effort into it, in the end it would still be inferior to the technology of the future.

The whole person was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and his eyes had completely lost their sparkle.

After being pulled up by Kaufman, he collapsed on the ground next to him without any movement of his body. Finally, he was helped to the seat next to him by his subordinates.

The last hope is completely shattered, which means that any terminal device attacked by a virus program will lose the information stored in it.

It is roughly estimated that there are as many as two to three million pieces of equipment, but there is no way to calculate the actual losses.

Knowing the consequences this would have, Kaufman's face was as gloomy as water, and he wanted to beat Mike up. At the same time, he felt extremely regretful that he had agreed to Mike's request.

It should have been Mike's own responsibility, but now he is afraid that he will be implicated and face punishment.

As for the technical staff of major companies standing in the distance, they did not dare to express their anger at this time, for fear of being used as a punching bag.

However, they did not feel too burdened by this. Although they failed to successfully decipher the key, due to their company's powerful security protection system, the internal equipment was not attacked by this virus program, so they were naturally confident.

Seeing that the situation was about to get completely ruined, Brady next to him seemed to have made some decision and suddenly took the initiative to walk up to Kaufman.

He handed over the tablet in his hand and said, "Sir Kaufman, you might as well take a look at this first."

"What's this?"

Kaufman's attention was diverted to the tablet computer by Brady's words. He was surprised, but he still took it and looked at it carefully.

What Brady found was nothing else. It was the request of many users to introduce Star Shield to solve the problem of virus program transmission. Since most of Mike's related accounts were managed by Brady, he naturally discovered this incident.

Not long after.

When Kaufman read the above, his expression became more solemn, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

After about dozens of seconds passed, I saw his firm eyes and suddenly turned around and walked towards Mike.

"Mike, I want you to contact Future Technology as soon as possible and let them launch the overseas version of Star Shield. We can solve all the processes and problems involved."

"Contact Future Technology?"

"Are you going to launch an overseas version of Star Shield?"

Mike heard Kaufman's words. He was stunned for a moment. He quickly reacted and sternly objected: "Kaufman, do you know what you are talking about? Let us install such a device in our public equipment." The server is equipped with security protection software in Binjiang City, how much risk will this bring."

"I will never agree to this."

As the person in charge of business, Mike is very clear that if everyone installs this software developed by a future technology company, all aspects of people’s information may be monitored.

After all, that's what they do.

More importantly, as more and more people install and use Star Shield, they will become accustomed to and dependent on it.

And this will become a bargaining chip for future technology to enter overseas markets.

If you want to impose certain restrictions on future technology in the future, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

But at this point, Kaufman can't think about these things that may not happen. The most important thing is to resume the daily work of the security building as soon as possible and clean up this mess.

So Kaufman didn't bother to argue with Mike and directly made an ultimatum.

"Now Star Shield is our last resort to solve this matter. No matter who its developer is, we must use it. If you insist on disagreeing, I'm afraid you will have no choice but to retire early."

"Don't forget who caused the whole thing. The higher-ups will soon send people to conduct a detailed investigation."

Maybe it was because Kaufman's emotions were on the verge of breaking out. After throwing out these words with cold words, he immediately turned around and took the people away.

Mike was left sitting in the chair in despair, as if he had aged a lot in an instant. If he had known that attacking future technology would lead to such a situation, he didn't know whether he would have made the same choice.

There is a high probability that it won’t happen.

"It's just a company that has only been established for three years. It can actually push me to this point. How on earth did it do this?"

As his thoughts gradually dispersed, for some reason only this question remained in his mind.

In fact, Mike knew very well that because of the serious consequences of this plan, it would be difficult for him to continue to hold his current position regardless of whether he agreed to allow Star Shield to be launched overseas.

As Kaufman said, it is indeed time to retire early.

…

…

Wednesday, June 17th.

Binjiang City.

In the office of the president of Future Technology Company, Xu Lei raised his gaze and looked at Zhang Xia who came in, and proactively asked: "What, is there anything you need me to handle?"

According to the original schedule, he was going to Longhu High-Tech Park for inspection today.

Because under Liu Gaowen's supervision and sufficient additional funds were provided quickly, the entire construction project progressed very quickly.

As of today, the main body of the headquarters space battleship building has been completed, and core buildings such as the research center data center and major laboratories have also been erected.

There are also luxury apartment building entertainment facilities under construction, which all indicate that this high-tech park will be officially put into use soon.

At that time, all the company's employees and Magic Star Game Studio will move there.

But seeing Zhang Xia suddenly walking in at this time, there must be important company matters that needed to be dealt with, so Xu Lei stayed in the office for a while longer, intending to finish the matter first.

At this time, Zhang Xia naturally did not delay when facing Xu Lei's inquiry, and immediately reported: "Mr. Xu, similar virus programs have also appeared in Washington, Ligani, California and other overseas regions, and the total number of devices under attack It has surpassed us.”

"Mr. Mike, the business manager of the other party, hopes that we can launch the overseas version of Star Shield to help them solve the impact of virus programs."

"I wonder if we will launch an overseas version at this stage?"

After listening to Zhang Xia's report, Xu Lei couldn't help but feel happy. He didn't expect that they, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, would take the initiative to ask for help.

But if you think carefully, this situation is normal.

After all, Xu Lei knew very well how perverted the virus program that was re-encrypted by Xingtong was. Even if Weiruan, Pingguo Guge and his company were destroyed, they would not be able to recover the encrypted data information.

Now that the other party has set his sights on Star Shield, it already explains the problem.

Originally, Xu Lei was just doing this to retaliate, but unexpectedly, he created an opportunity to enter the overseas market in an honest way.

If Star Shield can really gain a foothold in the overseas Internet security field, or even achieve an industry monopoly, it will be a good thing for the future development of technology.

After thinking about this clearly, Xu Lei replied with a smile: "It's no problem if you want to use our star shield, but you have to pay extra!"
