Chapter 108 - 106: Cracking the Information Sphere! Top Secret File 1080
Chapter 108: Chapter 106: Cracking the Information Sphere! Top Secret File 1080
After obtaining the information sphere, Lu Feng went straight to Cheng Sisi’s computer research area.
The information sphere was probably similar in function to a modern-day USB drive.
But since it was related to holographic virtual technology, it couldn’t just be for simple data storage.
To know for sure, he would have to let Cheng Sisi and her team crack its encryption.
When he entered, Cheng Sisi and two other computer experts were busy working on the old cell phones Lu Feng had brought in earlier.
As per Lu Feng’s instructions, they were developing assistant software for these old phones.
In modern society, besides various industrial technologies, there are also all sorts of internet technologies.
Furthermore, internet technology was a much faster way to make money than industrial technology.
However, there was one thing about industrial technology that internet technology couldn’t hope to match: the social ecosystem and the jobs that industry created.
Thus, while the country’s wealthiest tycoons were mostly from the internet sector, it was clear from certain conferences that their social standing was nothing compared to that of industrialists—even those who weren’t as rich.
Of course, besides the old cell phones and the modern computers he had brought in, there were also two holographic virtual computers from the game world. Lin Jiao had sent people out to scout, and they had recovered these along the way.
"Boss!"
"Boss, you’re here."
Seeing Lu Feng walk in, Cheng Sisi and the other two immediately stood up to greet him.
Lu Feng immediately handed the information sphere he’d gotten from the Salvation Army to Cheng Sisi. "Sisi, see if you can crack this thing," he asked.
Cheng Sisi immediately took the information sphere, connected it to a holographic virtual computer, and began to work on it.
The other two computer experts also gathered around to assess the situation and discuss it.
After a moment, Cheng Sisi had a grasp of the situation and reported, "Boss, this information sphere is encrypted, and the encryption is very sophisticated. However, the three of us are quite skilled as well. We should have no problem cracking it if we work together, but we’ll need a few days."
"Okay, I’ll leave it to you, then." Lu Feng nodded. Then, with a single thought, he exited the game world.
He immediately turned his attention to the screen in his mind, shifting his perspective to Wang Cheng and the members of the Salvation Army.
After all, he’d achieved his goal and tricked the item out of the Salvation Army’s hands; he had to see how they reacted afterward.
’But being able to trick them so easily just goes to show how kindhearted they are, always thinking about the other survivors in the base.’
’Otherwise, who with something so valuable would be fooled by a few words and a bit of acting?’
’If it were me, I would have just found the Mecha weapons myself and started my own base.’
’Unfortunately, the Salvation Army’s ideals destined them never to do such a thing.’
On the screen, the members of the Salvation Army he had deceived didn’t seem to have any particular reaction. They didn’t even seem to consider that they might have been tricked. Instead, they were working with Wang Cheng to help Lin Jiao with preparations.
Even though it was an act, he didn’t tell Lin Jiao to stop after he got what he wanted. The rampaging zombie horde Chapter was extremely dangerous, and who knew what accidents might occur? They could just treat this as a drill.
Lu Feng pulled his attention back. Since Cheng Sisi and her team needed time to crack the information sphere, he decided to call his cousin, Yang Ming, and go with him to check on the grain trading company.
After all, this company was crucial to his future plans for the game world.
In the post-apocalyptic game world, the soil had become contaminated. Acid levels were too high, leaving very little land suitable for growing grain and crops. Food was as valuable as real-world Gold.
Before long, Yang Ming arrived. He picked up Lu Feng, and they headed for the suburbs.
Tianzhou City had vast suburbs dotted with numerous companies. A grain trading company was perfectly suited for the suburbs, where warehouse space was significantly cheaper than in the city.
The profit margins in grain trading were very slim, so a suburban location better suited the company’s needs.
Yang Ming had bought this particular grain trading company because the previous owner, frustrated with the small profits, wanted to sell it off and pursue other ventures.
Since someone was ready to take it over, the negotiations had gone very smoothly.
The company was called Qinghong Grain Trading Co., Ltd. Its employees, even the administrative staff, were all in their thirties and forties; there wasn’t a single young person in sight.
This was a result of the industry’s nature. Companies like this were stable, but the pay was low and the work wasn’t exciting. It was the kind of job suited for someone looking to coast until retirement, which held no appeal for young people.
Any young person who did join wouldn’t last long in such an environment and would quickly resign.
People in this sort of work environment weren’t the type to ask too many questions. They were more concerned with clocking out on time so they could hurry off to play a few games of chess or cards.
This suited Lu Feng’s requirements for the employees perfectly. It was best if they weren’t curious, didn’t care, and didn’t pry into anything.
So, after learning this, he told Yang Ming not to fire a single employee.
Afterward, he followed Yang Ming to check out the large warehouse. It had been rented anew per his instructions and could easily store several hundred tons of grain.
Furthermore, the warehouse was in a very remote location. Yang Ming had his men check the surroundings; there were no security cameras, and any that had been there were destroyed.
In any case, if anyone nearby dared to install a camera, Yang Ming would have his men pull stockings over their heads and go smash it.
Yang Ming asked, somewhat puzzled, "Xiaofeng, why on earth did you buy a grain company? This industry isn’t very profitable."
Lu Feng didn’t answer, instead changing the subject. "Cousin, have the company start purchasing grain now. Let’s fill this warehouse up first."
Hearing this, Yang Ming didn’t press the issue. He just nodded and said, "Okay, I’ll have the company manager get on it."
The two chatted for a while longer, particularly about the new entertainment city.
In the future, the entertainment city would be where Yang Ming, Chen Bo, and the others would spend most of their time, so Yang Ming was paying close attention to its progress.
The entertainment city, which Ah Pao was in charge of, had already begun renovations. It would have a total of five floors, including a bar, KTV, a nightclub, a disco, a slow-dance club, a foot spa, a sauna... all sorts of entertainment facilities.
Afterward, Yang Ming drove Lu Feng back to his villa.
Over the next few days, Yang Lin visited the villa twice, mainly to report on the promotional campaign for the electromagnetic rice cooker.
Although Master Kai was in charge of that, Qingfeng Electronics Company also had to stay informed and provide support.
Lu Feng wanted to be a hands-off boss, so as long as he heard there were no problems, he was happy to stay out of it.
His attention for the past few days had been fixed on the game world, waiting for Cheng Sisi and her team to crack the information sphere’s encryption.
Finally.
A few days later, when he entered the game again, Cheng Sisi found him. Her face flushed red as she handed him the information sphere. "Boss, the sphere’s encryption has been cracked. I’ve also modified its status, so you can view the contents directly."
Lu Feng took the sphere, pleasantly surprised. He sensed something was a little off about Cheng Sisi.
He wanted to ask what was wrong, but she had already hurried away.
He had no choice but to take the information sphere into the core building, connect it to a holographic virtual computer, and view the information inside.
But when he opened the contents and saw the directory list, he was dumbfounded.
Top Secret File 1
Top Secret File 2
Top Secret File 3
...
Top Secret File 1080.
’What the hell? An information sphere with 1080 top-secret files?’
’This is bullshit, right?’
His curiosity piqued, he immediately clicked on Top Secret File 1, wanting to see what was so classified.
But when the file opened, Lu Feng was utterly stupefied. Now he understood why Cheng Sisi had reacted that way earlier.
