Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1892 Begging her
"Ah?" Mai Xiaomiao, who was born and raised in the United States, probably had never heard of the word "comrade". He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "As long as the experimental funds can be guaranteed, I think either place is fine..."

"Really?" Director Song looked at Mai Xiaomiao in the camera and wondered why this girl suddenly became coy: "Then let's discuss it again..."

“But!” Mai Xiaomiao seemed to muster up the courage, and then said a little guiltily: “But considering the new plan discussed yesterday, the laboratory project has a new application attempt, and this attempt is to be deeply integrated with the production system of the Clover Group, so... so... maybe setting up the laboratory at the Clover Group will make progress a little smoother..."

"Yes, for such a forward-looking project, it is not easy to find an application scenario, even more difficult than conducting experimental exploration." Mai Mingdong also suddenly spoke up: "Our previous 908 project was very smooth from project establishment to project implementation, but because we misjudged the actual application scenarios in China, there was a lack of upstream and downstream markets and no business."

"If Huahong and Clover Group had not caught up with Project 909 in time, accelerated their integration with the world, introduced cooperation with Samsung and Sony, and opened up the international application market for self-produced chips, the wafer factory that the country had invested billion yuan to build would have almost faced the situation of being unable to start construction."

"It is the responsibility and obligation of every scientific and technological worker to combine science and technology with applications and ensure that the country's investment does not go to waste," said Mai Mingdong. "As for other concerns and how and to what extent the country and the academy will participate, we can continue to discuss them."

"It seems that the local comrades have considered it more maturely than us." Director Song had a brief exchange with several bigwigs present at the meeting: "The opinions you put forward are all very important. We will continue to discuss them after the meeting and then form a plan to report. As for the minutes of the meeting... Zhou Zhi, you are the best writer among us, and you understand what I mean. Then you will draft it?"

"Okay, I'll send the report to the director's email this afternoon." Zhou Zhi nodded.

"Comrade Xiaomiao, are you used to life in Shudu? The conditions here may be worse than those abroad. If you need anything, feel free to tell your grandfather and Comrade Zhou Zhi who is beside you. I believe they will take good care of you."

"I... am quite used to it. I think the living conditions in China are better than those in the United States." said Mai Xiaomiao.

"Really? That's great." Director Song said, "The preparations for the laboratory cannot stop. Whether the laboratory is located in Shu University or Clover Group in the future, your task will be arduous. We must work hard on both ends. Does anyone have any other suggestions?"

The meeting ended here. Mai Xiaomiao breathed a sigh of relief only after the video call was disconnected. China's senior officials still easily make people feel nervous.

"Hello, Researcher Mai." Hu Lidong and Hu Tianyu had not had the chance just now, so they hurried to apologize: "We were misled by Elbow before and misunderstood your identity. Sorry, sorry."

“No, no.” Mai Xiaomiao blushed again and quickly stood up: “I didn’t even notice what you were talking about. At that time, my mind was full of new proposals.”

Hu Lidong closed the blinds in the conference room. "Tianyu and I both absolutely agree with this plan. What do we want in life? Isn't it just to be able to participate in the feat of changing the world?!"

"There is just one problem." Hu Tianyu said, "Let's talk behind closed doors. From Xiaomai's proposal, we already know what security issues have occurred in our group's system. As for how to quickly scan the entire system for security vulnerabilities, I think we should first discuss how to upgrade the entire system at lightning speed without alerting Black Cat. It's actually a bit difficult."

"What is Black Cat?" Mai Xiaomiao asked cutely. "Oh, it's that vicious hacker. Black Cat is the nickname we gave him." Hu Lidong said, "Our biggest worry now is that our large-scale scanning and upgrading activities will alert him. If he has other means of attack, it may trigger a new offensive and defensive war."

"Why don't we just cut off the entire Internet connection and then upgrade?" Mai Xiaomiao was still giving the two of them advice.

"If it's our group's internal system, there won't be any problem." Hu Lidong and Hu Tianyu looked at each other. "But we still have many 7/24 external systems, such as the Clover Forum, the virus database upgrade website, and the QQ server. If the network is disconnected for maintenance, it will cause relatively large adverse effects."

“Is that so…” Mai Xiaomiao had no other good ideas.

"If it really doesn't work, we have to stabilize the internal situation before we can resist the external forces." Hu Tianyu gritted his teeth and said, "First, backup the entire system, and then maintain the external system services. The rest will be disconnected from the Internet for upgrades. If the external system is attacked by a black cat during this period, we can also upgrade the backup and then replace the external service systems. There is no other way. This is a way to minimize the losses."

"What if the black cat doesn't attack us?" Zhou Zhi asked, "Can we scan and fix the loopholes calmly?"

"If the boss can make Black Cat obey, then what else can we say?" Hu Tianyu rolled his eyes: "Then why not just hire him to be the information security director of our group!"

"The position of information security supervisor is too low, and people will definitely look down on it." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "But there is a way to prevent Black Cat from attacking us."

Seeing Zhou Zhi speak so confidently, Hu Lidong couldn't help but feel that the boss was really "a dragon and phoenix, a sun and a moon", and was really amazing: "Boss, what can you do?"

When Hu Tianyu showed the same expectation, Zhou Zhi acted like a master and slowly said two words: "Beg her."

Hu Lidong and Hu Tianyu were almost knocked off their chairs by the thunder, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Boss, can we please stop joking?"

"I'm not kidding." Zhou Zhi spread his hands to Mai Xiaomiao: "Everyone recall the black cat's head. The ears on the top are M, the eyes and nose in the middle are actually variations of the word 'small', and the two small paws at the bottom are actually m."

"Formally introduce, this is the hacker Black Cat who successfully broke into our system by using the stack overflow bug and the null instruction sled tool. She is Mai Xiaomiao. As long as we lock her up, we can upgrade without any worries."

"Plop!" The high-end chair in the conference room had wheels. Hu Lidong really stuck out his butt, the chair slid backwards, and he rolled off the chair.

"Boss——" A frightened shout was heard in the conference room.
