Chapter 276 Technology-Driven Poverty Alleviation: Code Shocks the Audience
The slicked-back-haired vice president, Li Weidong, who is also the vice president of the Su Group, is looking at Jiang Chen with an extremely complicated expression.
He took the light, black USB drive, feeling as if he were holding a hot potato, not a USB drive.
A hacker friend?
Was it given to you because you were drunk?
A little gadget?
Li Weidong has been in the business world for over twenty years and has seen all kinds of people.
But he had never seen anyone as unconventional as Jiang Chen.
You just happened to act like a god, making a single phone call to bring in 3 billion yuan and resolve the group's life-or-death crisis.
He then pulled a USB drive out of his pocket, saying it was given to him by a hacker friend to solve a core technical problem that even the entire technical department was stumped by.
Isn't this style of change a bit too fast?
Although he had a thousand doubts in his heart, he dared not utter a single word of questioning.
After all, the impact of that 3 billion was just too great.
"Okay...okay, Mr. Jiang."
Li Weidong wiped his sweat and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"The technical department is upstairs. I... I'll take you there right away."
He led Jiang Chen out of the study with some skepticism.
Su Tianhao looked at Jiang Chen's back, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
His feelings towards Jiang Chen have changed from initially "not being able to see through him" to now "completely giving up on thinking about it".
He made up his mind that no matter what Jiang Chen did next, he would not ask, advise, or stop him.
Just think of it as watching a... live sci-fi blockbuster.
The 18th floor of the Su Group Building.
This is the heart of the entire group—the core technology research and development center.
However, at this moment, the heart feels like an intensive care unit.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, a complex odor, a mixture of sour takeout food, strong caffeine, and human sweat, hit me.
The entire floor was a mess.
The ground was littered with crumpled pieces of waste paper, overturned instant noodle containers, and trash cans that someone had kicked over.
Dozens of young people who looked like programmers stared blankly at their computer screens, each with dark circles under their eyes that rivaled those of national treasures.
Some people's hair was a complete mess, like a bird's nest, while others were simply slumped over their keyboards, whether asleep or unconscious, it was hard to tell.
The entire department was shrouded in an atmosphere of despair and deathly silence.
This is hardly a high-tech research and development center; it's clearly a large refugee camp.
Seeing this, Li Weidong felt a little embarrassed and coughed awkwardly twice.
A middle-aged man with thick-rimmed glasses and a typical "Mediterranean" hairstyle heard the noise and looked up.
He was Wang Bo, the acting technical director who was appointed in a time of crisis.
When Wang Bo saw Li Weidong walking over with a young man dressed casually, he assumed it was a newly recruited intern.
He was so annoyed that he didn't even feel like greeting the vice president, and waved his hand dismissively.
"Mr. Li, you're incredibly busy right now, how can you possibly have time to train new employees?"
"Tell him to go to the break room and help pour some coffee, don't let him cause trouble here!"
Li Weidong's face instantly turned a deep liver color.
He was about to reprimand Wang Bo when Jiang Chen raised his hand to stop him.
Jiang Chen didn't take Wang Bo's words to heart at all.
He walked straight to the main control computer in the very center of the department.
The computer was connected to more than a dozen huge monitors, which were displaying dense, but junk code filled with red error symbols.
"Excuse me."
Jiang Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable air of authority.
A young programmer, who was sitting at the control panel scratching his head in frustration, instinctively stood up and made way for him.
When Wang Bo saw this, his anger flared up instantly.
"Hey! What's wrong with you, young man? Who gave you permission to touch the control panel? The data on there is worth tens of millions. Can you afford to pay for it if you damage it?!"
Jiang Chen ignored him.
Amidst the curious, disdainful, or angry gazes of everyone.
He shoved Wang Bo, who was about to rush over to pull him away, and with a "snap," inserted the black USB drive into the main computer's USB port.
Wang Bo let out a cold laugh.
Where did this hothead come from?
This is the dispatch system that supports the entire provincial logistics network, with more than a dozen firewalls at the bottom level alone!
He thinks he can solve the problem with a broken USB drive?
Could it be a game cheat program infected with a virus?
Just you wait, kid. The moment the system sends out any virus alert, I'll call security to kick you out!
Don't crash our entire server cluster, or we'll see how Chairman Su deals with you!
Jiang Chen's movements were fluid and graceful.
He opened the folder on the USB drive, found the unzipped file named "Beehive.exe", and double-clicked it.
There is no fancy installation interface.
A pure black, geeky-style window popped up instantly, covering the entire home screen.
Jiang Chen didn't even use a mouse.
His fingers casually tapped the Enter key a few times on the keyboard.
next second.
A sudden change has occurred!
The red codes that were originally full of bugs and errors on the dozen or so huge displays connected to the main control console were instantly cleared!
Instead, a brand new stream of code, radiating a ghostly blue light, cascades down like a waterfall!
The code scrolled so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to catch it!
The only sounds on the entire floor were the frantic whirring of the server fans and the rhythmic, crisp tapping of the keyboard.
At first, the surrounding programmers were all just watching the show.
"This interface is pretty cool, it feels like a Hollywood hacker movie."
"It's all just a bunch of mystical stuff; it might just be a screensaver."
But less than thirty seconds had passed.
The first to react was Wang Bo, the acting supervisor.
He had originally intended to wait and see Jiang Chen make a fool of himself.
But when his gaze fell upon the rapidly scrolling code on the screen...
The disdain on his face froze instantly.
His eyes widened even further.
He subconsciously took a few steps forward, his whole body almost touching the screen.
The freshly brewed, still piping hot coffee slipped from his trembling hand and fell to the ground with a "thud," splashing scalding liquid all over his crotch.
But he was completely unaware!
His mouth opened wider and wider without him even realizing it.
At this moment, those severely nearsighted eyes burst forth with an unprecedented light, as if they had witnessed a miracle!
"This...this...this algorithm structure!"
"This modular packaging method!"
"And...and this data compression ratio!"
"My God!!!"
Wang Bo was so excited that he was trembling all over. He suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed at the screen, like a most fervent believer who had seen the Bible written by God himself!
"This...this isn't code! This is art! This is a miracle! This is a divine intervention!!!"
His hysterical roar instantly alarmed the entire department!
The programmers who were previously listless were all attracted.
When they saw the code on the screen.
Everyone reacted in the same way as Wang Bo!
One by one, they all stood frozen in place, as if they had been frozen in place by a spell.
Then came a chorus of gasps and gasps!
"My God! This underlying logical structure completely surpasses our current understanding!"
"So...so elegant! It's like poetry!"
"Compared to this code, the piece of junk that Tianhong Group stole is practically a kindergarten kid's doodle!"
"This isn't just surpassing! This is utter crushing defeat! It's a complete and utter dimensional reduction attack!"
Those in the know can tell at a glance.
The sophistication of this code is far beyond just being one or two years ahead!
This is practically cutting-edge technology from the future!
The entire technical department was in an uproar!
All the programmers looked at the young man sitting calmly at the console with the same fervor they would give a god, a true deity, or a living ancestor.
Jiang Chen ignored the gasps of amazement around him.
He looked at the progress bar on the screen, which showed the installer was 99% loaded, and nodded in satisfaction.
He patted Wang Bo on the shoulder, who was completely out of control and practically on the verge of kneeling down and kowtowing to him.
"Alright, stop worshiping."
Jiang Chen's voice remained as casual and indifferent as ever.
"This system will automatically adapt to all your existing hardware."
"The entire deployment and optimization can be completed within half an hour."
At this point, a meaningful smile appeared on Jiang Chen's lips.
He lowered his voice and continued speaking to Wang Bo in a slightly teasing tone:
"By the way, while you're at it, help my hacker friend leave a permanent 'backdoor' in Tianhong Group's system."
"Don't they like playing with technology?"
"Then let's teach them a lesson."
