Chapter 463: Bluff
“Bang!”
Slapping the table hard, Director Najib became furious!
"Hundan! How dare they!"
Our dignified empire, the first in the world, has always convinced people with virtue from the perspective of strength and status.
As a result, I just punched hard, trying to teach the opponent a lesson. Unexpectedly, the opponent didn't take it obediently, and even gave me a loud backhand slap!
And in front of the whole world!
This slap not only slaps their technological hegemony, but also the face of Director Najib!
This time things have become so big that even the former leader Pinocchio just called him directly and started asking him how he became the director.
It’s okay that the main target of Juchang is not willing to give in, and is still trying to defeat the enemy. This is completely different from what was promised!
They haven't even seen any revenue yet. Oracle has lost a lot of business first.
Okay, forget it, after all, the rabbit bites people when it is anxious.
But... of such important news that China has made a major breakthrough in engine technology, the CIA didn't receive any news in advance? !
This is a serious dereliction of duty!
Has all the intelligence funding Congress spends every year going to dogs?
"Damn it! You didn't break through earlier or later, but you chose this moment to break through intensively! You must have done it on purpose!"
Nagy felt very aggrieved while gritting his teeth.
Why have all kinds of bad luck happened to me? It’s such a bad year...
“Director, I think there is something fishy about this matter.” The deputy said with a puzzled look on his face. .
“According to the comprehensive assessment of the intelligence department and the other party’s research and development progress, there should not be any major breakthroughs in engine technology within five years.
After all, engine research and development is an activity that requires the cooperation of multiple types of work and multiple departments, and the amount of work is extremely large. With our intelligence channels that have been cultivated in China for many years, it is impossible that there is no news at all..."
"What do you think? say what? "
"Cough! "He coughed dryly and hesitated.
"Well...Director, do you remember the last time NASA was hacked..."
Director Najib frowned. .
How could I forget such a shameful thing, but you are just exposing my scars, you don’t want to do it anymore, right?
But he quickly reacted.
"You mean..."
"Originally we thought that it was a double act played by China and the North, and they secretly tricked us, but afterwards it came from the North. The news doesn’t seem like this.
They seem to have been hacked like us and lost some important data.
For this reason, Kremlin got furious and fucked a lieutenant general, which didn't look like he was acting.
Although the news is not precise, we heard that the one invaded in the North seems to be their 'Power Machinery Research and Production Association (NPO)'.
Cough! Director, whether it is NASA or NPO, they are top organizations related to aerospace technology..."
Speaking of this, if Najib hasn't realized what the other party wants to say, then it's really a bit confusing. Stupid.
Yes, engine research and development is a big project. It is impossible for us to have no news about any major breakthroughs made by the other side
Unless... this breakthrough is ready-made...
No wonder...
"Thanks to the heroes in the darkness"... Isn't this a bunch of hackers!
Director Najib had an instant enlightenment and connected all the clues... The truth of the matter suddenly became clear!
So...
After working on it for a long time, I stepped on this mine, but I actually buried it myself?
Director Najib was stunned, feeling as if ten thousand grass and mud horses were galloping past...
Their guess was correct. The two copies Meng Lang left for China Aviation Science and Technology last time " Small gifts”.
One is the "Reusable Liquid Oxygen Afterburning Cycle Engine Design Drawing" and the other is the "RD-180 Engine Titanium Alloy Formula".
His original intention was to help China accelerate the development of its own super-thrust and recyclable rocket engine technology to prepare for its future entry into the sea of stars.
Avoid the embarrassing situation of having software but hardware being stuck.
However, many technologies in aviation engines are universal...
No, the latest aerospace engine has not yet landed, but several aerospace engines have received good news first...
After a long time, Director Nagy coughed in embarrassment.
“Ahem! I often tell you that when we engage in intelligence work, the most important things are three things: rigor, rigor, and rigor!
After all, this is just some speculation, so don’t spread it out without any basis..."
"Uh...yes, yes!
That was just some nonsense from me. Actually, if you think about it, if China can break through in engine technology, it is only a matter of decades of continuous accumulation, and it is just a short step away.
Scientific research is very accidental after all! "The deputy also reacted and quickly echoed.
"Yeah~" Director Nagy expressed satisfaction with the deputy's approach.
If outsiders knew, he had helped kick Hua in...
Director Najib drank coffee to cover up his embarrassment.
"By the way, regarding the hackers last time, have you found out their identities?" He quickly changed the topic.
Najib gritted his teeth when he mentioned this group of hackers.
One after another operations have been frustrated. In the final analysis, the culprits are these hackers!
Without the data leakage that night, Juchang would not have been able to respond in advance, and it would be even less possible for him to encounter Hua's "intensive breakthrough" today...
He has already made up his mind. If he knew what was going on Who did it.
Even if it is the end of the world, he will use all the elite agents of the CIA to completely eliminate the opponent mentally and physically!
"This...not yet." The deputy said with some embarrassment.
“The opponent’s technology is quite powerful, and our people have not been able to find any trace of them from the traceback data link.
However, according to the information sent back by our Chinese intelligence agents, these people should be the Cyber Protection Team (CPT) affiliated with the Chinese Ministry of Cyber Security.
Afterwards, the person in charge of China Airlines Science and Technology even gave them a high-profile pennant to express their gratitude..."
"CPT... our people have fought against each other before, and they didn’t feel that they were Is it so powerful? "
"This...maybe the other party deliberately concealed his clumsiness before? However, I have asked people to strengthen the intelligence investigation of this force. ”
“Well...”
The last counterattack was obviously a warning, and the hackers in the CIA who were deceived are still frightened.
So much so that several important military-industrial sectors in China have now become restricted areas, and the number of international cyberattacks has plummeted.
There is no airtight wall in the world.
After the news spread, the world's major hacker organizations became more wary of China, and even the daily harassment became much less.
After all, the No. 1 and No. 2 big brothers in the Matrix have both fallen into trouble. No one can guarantee that they will escape unscathed if they anger the other party's network security forces.
Of course, what he didn't know was that sending banners and so on was just a smokescreen put out by China.
The purpose... is of course to protect the "hero in the dark"...
Meng Lang didn't want to expose his identity, and the Chinese country was happy to pretend to be powerful.
This is a silent tacit understanding...
"Alas! These Chinese people are really becoming more and more difficult to deal with..."
Director Najib rubbed his brows helplessly.
But soon, he chose to forget this bad thing for the time being. After all, there were more difficult things waiting for him to deal with...
The tough attitude of Hua Guo and Ju Chang was obvious. It was beyond his expectation.
You must know that this is a critical moment for a new round of economic and trade negotiations between the two countries. The CIA planned this operation, at best, to curb Juchang's siege in communications and terminals.
At a more serious level, it means exerting pressure on China to gain leverage at the negotiating table.
The subtext of the action is... I can't do anything to you if you are blocked by trade, but are you afraid of being blocked by technology?
Unexpectedly, the other party directly proved it with actions...
I am not afraid!
This puts them in a difficult situation...
According to the normal process in the past, we have taught them a lesson. They should not quickly find a few lobbying companies and spend a public relations fee to bribe those people. Did the senator say anything more?
Although in the end the public relations money spent by the other party will definitely be in vain.
But everyone was waffling, and by delaying the negotiation for a month or two, until the end of the negotiation, I had completed the pressure task assigned by the leader, and the second fire was successfully lit.
However, the other party's unconventional "strong counterattack" directly disrupted Director Najib's plan...
Negotiation is like staring, it is about momentum.
Both sides are now taking a tough stance. Whoever blinks first will lose.
In order to cooperate with the actions of the Black Palace, this technological war, even if he didn't want to fight now, he had to bite the bullet and continue to fight.
It’s just that the second phase of the plan is a year ahead of schedule, which makes them slightly less prepared.
At least coordinating the relevant stakeholders is a headache.
It is too late to slowly persuade and negotiate, so the only choice is to forcefully persuade...
"After our actions, how will the outside world react?" Najib asked.
"Returning to the director, Chinese local companies represented by Caitong, Bertong, Intel, Guge, Guangmei Technology, Weichuangli, etc. have privately responded to our call and expressed their willingness to stand on our side.
< br>Among them, Wei Chuangli was the most active, expressing his willingness to immediately stop all cooperation with Juchang.
In addition, Europa, Fuso, Nanjing, and Companies represented by Wang Dao are generally leaning towards us and have expressed a cooperative attitude.
However, after seeing Juchang’s tough stance, their attitude has become a bit ambiguous, and they have not yet made their position clear. < br>
I’m afraid that we are worried about getting into trouble, so we want us to charge into the battle first so that they can benefit from it.”
"Hmph! These losers... they can't make any money that we can't make!
Tell the financial backers behind Sanxin and Wang Semiconductor to be honest and cooperate.
If you let me know who is sneaking around and secretly shipping goods...then just wait for the IRS to come to your door!”
The IRS in Najib’s mouth is the famous “Inland Revenue Department across the Ocean” ".
When it comes to the deterrent power of this department in the country on the other side of the ocean, it can be said to be more frightening than the FBI. It can be called a terrifying existence like the "Western Factory"!
No matter you are a superstar, a celebrity next to the president, or even a murderous gangster, as long as you evade taxes, you will be pursued by the IRS until the end of the world.
It is generally accepted that there are three things that must not be done on earth.
That is to ban alcohol in the North, sell powder in China, and evade taxes on the other side of the ocean.
Of course, "reasonable tax avoidance" is another matter. After all, it is reasonable...
Najib originally wanted to use force to drive the ducks onto the shelves, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.
"Although these guys are just outsiders, they are still letting others cut their flesh. If they feel that they are being used as cannon fodder, they may not work as hard as they should.
It seems that we have to make some gestures first. Come out...
Well... you just said Wei Chuangli's attitude Active?
Then let them take the first shot! First, stop Juchang’s OEM business, and then seize the other party’s raw materials and interfere with the other party’s business activities...
Tell Wei To create profits, all losses incurred will be paid by Congress!
snort! I want them to feel what it means to be surrounded on all sides and see how long they can be stubborn! "
"Yes! Director! "
The deputy hesitated for a moment and then spoke again.
"But Director, the nationalist sentiment in the other country is now rising.
The more intense our methods are, the higher the support the other party will get. I heard that Juchang’s mobile phone sales have increased several times today...
If our actions actually help the other party expand their market, will it be self-defeating? "
Najib didn't take it seriously at all.
" Haha! Don't you know that the bigger the faucet is turned on, the faster the water flows?
How much stock do they have of raw materials? Even if the goods are prepared in advance, I predict that the other party will never survive for half a year!
I wish their sales would skyrocket, so that the more goods they sell, the faster they will die!
Once their high-end phones are sold out, no matter how many mid-range and low-end phones they sell, whose market are they grabbing? "
"This...should be Sanxin and Huaguo's own local brand? ”
“Haha! That's right! The more volume the mid- to low-end products have, the less profit there will be, and they may start fighting among themselves.
Then the most profitable high-end machine will be completely swallowed up by the fruit machine, and there will be no more threatening opponents!
It won’t take long for the mobile phone business, which accounts for more than half of the other party’s revenue, to shrink severely, which is equivalent to breaking an arm of the other party and severely damaging the other party’s hematopoietic ability.
Then our goal of containing the other party's development will be achieved.
A chrysanthemum factory that is confined to the country is no longer a threat to us!
Once the other party’s technology becomes obsolete, in a few years, our Starlink, AI, and chips will continue to lead, and if the other party wants to catch up by then, it will be a fool’s errand...”
Director Najib showed a sinister smile.
“But I guess the other party is not that stupid. He will definitely choose to delay the process as much as possible, keep the high-end brand that he finally developed, and at the same time place his hopes on the international market. The situation improved.
hehe! Believe it or not, they will soon have to restrict sales? "
"I see, everything is under the control of the Director! The director is really strategizing and winning a thousand miles away! "The deputy immediately flattered him.
"Haha! "
After arranging the follow-up actions, Najib took a sip of coffee and took the time to ask.
"By the way, what happened to the sudden replacement of ERP at the Ju Factory? ? ”
It was just a company changing its office software. This was originally a trivial matter, and there was no need for him, the director of the CIA, to personally intervene.
But who would let someone slap him in the face with the announcement? Najib immediately became interested.
“This subordinate has already investigated this matter. Even their middle managers did not know about this matter in advance. It should be an impromptu decision made by the other party’s senior management.
And according to me As far as we know, there doesn't seem to be any particularly excellent domestic alternatives in China.
Juchang is interested in developing its own ERP system, but I heard that the project has just been launched and the progress is definitely not that fast.
< br>
Another hasty replacement will definitely cause some confusion to business operations...
I guess it is just a deliberate gesture to express a tough stance to us. ”
“Ha! Is this what they call ‘not steaming steamed buns to gain reputation’? These Chinese people are so stupid! "Najib sneered.
"The Director is right. As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Almost all Asians are on their knees. This group of Chinese people are particularly hard-boned. ”
“Ha! No matter how hard your bones are, it will all be in vain in the face of absolute strength!
If you change it again, it will only change the soup but not the medicine. How can you change all our databases? ”
Najib does have the confidence to say this.
Currently, database software in the commercial field is almost monopolized by Oracle, Microsoft, IBM and other companies across the ocean.
For example As the absolute dominant companies in the world's ERP system, SAP and Oracle are known as the Mercedes-Benz and BMW of the ERP industry. Compared with the two, Oracle is even better.
What makes his ERP system really powerful is that it has an excellent database!
In the field of databases, it is indeed difficult to find a technology company that is better than Oracle.
It is the largest and most widely used enterprise-level database manufacturer in the world. It has always been the number one in the industry and even captured nearly half of the Chinese database market share, a large part of which is in the high-end market.
If nothing else, even Huaguo Bank’s system is almost entirely Oracle.
And its database and ERP system are sold in bundles.
Including most domestic banking systems and a large number of large companies, Oracle's software has already been deeply ingrained in the entire enterprise operating system.
The core of the key lifeline industry uses the enemy's database.
It must be said that this is a major hidden danger for the country.
Although banks and user companies can use hardware and technical means such as firewalls and architectures to isolate the database server and external connections, fundamentally preventing software from transmitting data outside.
But the underlying technology belongs to others, which means that it will be much easier for others to do anything...
Of course, the country is not without backup. In addition to the first firewall established by the company itself, we also have a more peripheral second firewall——
That’s right! That is the famous "Great Fire Wall"!
This is a comprehensive system of software and hardware built by the state to monitor international import and export content on the Internet.
Its powerful audit function can effectively prevent overseas snooping and theft of secrets.
Of course, it can also prevent domestic netizens from accessing some overseas unhealthy and disharmonious information...
Well... I believe many netizens have experienced the power of the Great Fire Wall. ()
On the whole, China still lacks a database system that can compete with the other side of the ocean.
Although the situation is not optimistic, with the development of technology, new architecture database systems have begun to challenge traditional databases.
The leader in this area is Alibaba Mama, who has withstood the test of massive data during Double Eleven!
The OceanBase database developed by Alibaba adopts a new distributed architecture, and its "online analysis processing" and "online transaction processing" have surpassed the Oracle database.
Unfortunately it is not suitable for market commercial use.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to turn from luxury to frugality, the ship will turn around in disaster!
A large international enterprise like Juchang generates massive amounts of data every day. Once something goes wrong, management chaos will occur.
It is definitely not an easy task to replace a domestic database.
Hmm! At least now, Director Najib and many foreign friends think so...
"Ding~"
Just when the two were about to continue discussing how to improve the plan and not give Ju Chang any chance to turn around, the deputy's cell phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and took a look at the message, and an expression of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face.
“What’s the matter?”
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Najib raised his head and asked.
"There is news about the joint research and development project between Juchang and Jinghua." The deputy said with a strange expression.
"Oh? What did the investigation results say?"
"Uh... said they were developing optical chips..."
Director Najib was immediately stunned.
He chewed the words "optical chip" over and over again in his mind, and it took him a long time to react.
"Pfft! Hahahahaha..."
"Optical chip? You said they are researching optical chips? Hahaha... Are you sure you are not kidding?"
Where is the 500,000 investigation fund? !
Which joke can be so expensive...
"The news is indeed true..."
The deputy was also confused.
Even if you say that you want to overtake in a corner and prepare to build 1 nanometer electronic chips, I can believe it.
Can... optical chip? !
What is the difference between this and rushing to build an airplane, but first spending money to study flying saucers?
UFOs are advanced, but the problem is that you have to study them until the end of the year before you can get results?
They are not trying to overtake in a curve, they are trying to change lanes to overtake!
The problem is that this road is full of thorns, and no one has ever walked on it...
Of course it is delicious to be the first to eat crabs, but the problem is that if you want to eat crabs, you have to clear the way.
And the time and money needed to open the way...that's a bottomless pit!
Even my world's largest empire, with the strength of the whole country, is enough, you two cripples want to fly before you can learn to run?
Director Najib finally suppressed his laughter.
"Forget it, I should reflect on it. I took them too seriously and wasted a lot of investigation funds..."
"But...if it is a normal cutting-edge technology Does development need to be kept secret like this?" The deputy was still confused.
We are also studying nuclear fusion, AI, and the ultimate mysteries of man and the universe...
No one else has ever covered up such a high-level topic, not even a project name. Don't you want to hang up?
"Ha! What else could it be? It's just a bluff!
A while ago they said that their quantum chips were almost in mass production?
Have we not been deceived enough in this regard? "
"Well..."
The deputy thought for a while, and then nodded in agreement.
China definitely has a history in this regard.
Why does smog prevent lasers, and kelp wraps around submarines...
Now we need to add another "light-making chip"?
Fooling! You continue to lie! (End of this chapter)
