At seven o’clock in the morning, Jiang Chen got up on time. He washed up simply then went back to his room to change into a suit.

Today was Li De’s quarterly meeting, and it was also Jiang Chen’s first time to participate in a meeting attended by all shareholders of Li De. Apart from officially announcing the establishment of the company’s new project, Li Nanfeng also wanted to take this opportunity to introduce him to the members of the board of directors.

Jiang Chen walked towards the desk while putting on his watch. He paused when his gaze passed over the little stuffed animal placed on the desk. Yesterday was He Qianyu’s birthday, and the He family’s celebration was simple and warm. Other than He Qianyu’s good friends, there were only the five members of the He family plus him, less than ten people in total.

After eating dinner and cutting the cake, Jiang Chen was about to leave and go home, but He Yanfeng stopped him, invited him to the study together, and then chatted about his cooperation with Li Nanfeng. He Yanfeng grasped the details very precisely, and didn’t ask a word that shouldn’t be asked, as if he was simply caring about the work of a junior, but Jiang Chen felt that he had other things in mind.

Sure enough, at the end of the conversation, He Yanfeng asked casually, “Xiao Jiang, I heard that your birthday is on December 22. Is it the lunar calendar or the Western calendar?”

Jiang Chen: “Western calendar.”

“Did your family tell you which hospital you were born in?”

Jiang Chen said with a smile: “My parents had mediocre family conditions when they gave birth to me. Maybe it was just a small clinic.”

He Yanfeng also smiled, and just as he was about to say more, He Qianyu barged in. With a flushed face, she pulled Jiang Chen’s hand coquettishly: “Brother Jiang Chen, we are playing a game, can you play with me?”

After an evening of getting along, she was already able to act familiar with Jiang Chen naturally, and her eyes were full of dependence.

In that game, Jiang Chen obtained a small stuffed animal made by He Qianyu herself. When sending him out, He Qianyu whispered in his ear: “Brother Jiang Chen, I apologize to you on behalf of Dad. He doesn’t usually like to ask others a lot of things like this, but I don’t know why, they always ask a lot of things when they see you, don’t you mind, okay?”

Jiang Chen smiled: “I’m not angry, I’m super happy to be able to celebrate the little princess’ birthday today.”

“Really?!” He Qianyu hugged his neck tightly and said, “Then next year’s birthday, will Brother Jiang Chen also spend it with me?”

Jiang Chen: “Of course.”

He Qianyu grabbed the rabbit doll by the ear, and said, “Napoleon is the token of promise between me and Brother Jiang Chen!”

Jiang Chen put the stuffed animal on the table beside the bed, took his phone and went out.

……

After the meeting, Jiang Chen and Li Nanfeng went to his office together where he saw Shi Fengyue reading by the window. Jiang Chen looked at Li Nanfeng.

Li Nanfeng smiled and said: “He’s off today, so I brought him here. It was his opinion I consulted on regarding the equipment in your laboratory. I asked him to come over today so that the both of you can go see if there is anything missing in the laboratory, that way I can stock it up as soon as possible.”

While the two were talking, Shi Fengyue had already walked over, and said lightly, “We can go now, right.”

Li Nanfeng clicked his tongue: “We haven’t even had time to take a sip of water after the meeting, don’t be so in a hurry, or are you in a hurry to go to sleep.”

Shi Fengyue chewed the candy in his mouth, and there was a faint smell of lemon when he spoke: “If you know then why are you still so slow?”

“Boss, can you have something new?” Li Nanfeng said so, but he had already turned around. He smiled apologetically at Jiang Chen, and said, “Then let’s go to the laboratory now.”

Jiang Chen didn’t care either way, and nodded slightly.

The group of three descended from the elevator on the top floor to the seventh floor where the scientific research labs were located. Li Nanfeng verified the ID card and took them in. “This floor has the fewest people, so in the future working here it will definitely be quiet and safe. Your laboratory will record your fingerprint, and no one will be able to open the door of the laboratory except you. You can safely put the materials or experimental data in the laboratory computer, because our computer is connected to the same network as the laboratory door. Without your fingerprint, everything in this laboratory will be blocked, no one can turn on your computer, in fact no one can even turn on the lights here.”

Li Nanfeng stopped in front of a white door that had no gaps at all: “This is the fingerprint registration, you can come and register your fingerprint here.”

After entering his fingerprint, Jiang Chen looked at the door that opened automatically, and asked curiously, “Is the network shield here developed by Li De?”

“Of course.” Speaking of this, Li Nanfeng couldn’t hide his pride: “This is the most successful result of our R&D department at the end of last year, and we are now discussing cooperation with the military. It can be said that apart from several important military bases in Country C, in the whole world, only Li De can achieve such strict and precise technical shielding.”

Jiang Chen looked thoughtful. Li Nanfeng smiled and said: “You can talk to Feng Yue about this matter, he knows better than me, the head of the R&D team on this has a good relationship with him. When the whole shield device first came out, he knew before I did.”

Shi Fengyue was lazily leaning against the wall, and even when Li Nanfeng mentioned him, his expression didn’t change at all, without any intention of speaking.

Jiang Chen thought for a while and asked, “Dr. Shi, could you tell me about this shield? I’d like to know how it can accurately shield a small-scale signal network without interfering with each other, and whether the identification relies solely on fingerprints or does it have other data or something.”

Shi Fengyue raised his eyes. He walked to Jiang Chen’s side, leaned slightly to pick up a small white square beside him, and said lightly: “This shield is not so much shielding as it is signal interference at multiple points. And it connects the systems of the whole room, including the electrical system…..”

Jiang Chen became more and more fascinated as he listened. When Shi Fengyue finished explaining, he pondered for a moment and asked, “Is it possible to design a shield that can truly shield all signals, even if the signal is not sent by any existing operator? There is no base station and no radio wave connection, I only know that it can freely shuttle on the network, but I don’t know which medium it uses to be active on the network, and besides the network, it can even operate in non-network areas.”

Shi Fengyue raised his eyebrows: “What non-network fields are you referring to?”

Jiang Chen raised his eyes: “For example, the human body.”

Shi Fengyue narrowed his eyes slightly, and after looking at him quietly for a few seconds, he suddenly smiled and said, “That’s a very interesting idea.”

Without a change to his expression, Jiang Chen said with a faint smile, “Does Dr. Shi thinks that such a thing exists in this world?”

“If there is, it would be very interesting.” Shi Fengyue’s lips hooked upwards and said, “What you said reminded me of a type of program.”

Jiang Chen: “What program?”

Shi Fengyue sat down on the chair beside him and lazily said, “Virus.”

“What?” Jiang Chen was taken aback, all his attention could not help but be attracted by this word.

Shi Fengyue supported his chin with one hand, and said in a casual tone: “Viruses do not need radio waves or base station signals. As long as the trigger conditions are met, it will automatically be triggered. According to the principle of the virus, it should also be contagious to a certain extent. It can copy itself to the infected target, and then use this to achieve the purpose.”

Jiang Chen raised his eyes suddenly, as if enlightened, everything becoming clear.

Shi Fengyue’s analogy was very accurate, wasn’t the system in He Qianjian’s head exactly like a virus to other people?

Before, Jiang Chen thought about the countless operation methods of the system, and what kind of form it existed in He Qianjian’s body, but if he used the analogy Shi Fengyue mentioned to understand the system, the operation principle of the system and its form of existence were very clear.

He could completely treat the system as an advanced virus that takes into account both non-resident viruses and resident viruses. The non-resident virus would quickly infect other hosts. After its purpose was achieved, the virus would return the control to its infected host. And a resident virus transfers its loading memory and control rights to a host, while it hides within the host, waiting for an opportunity to infect other targets.

Therefore, for He Qianjian, the system was a resident virus, and for others it was a non-resident virus. It took He Qianjian’s order as a trigger condition, copied itself to the exchange partner, and then obtained what He Qianjian needed from the exchange partner, and as such it could travel unimpeded in the network, but did not need radio waves to connect.

“The shielding device can’t deal with viruses.” Shi Fengyue raised his eyes and smiled lightly: “If you want to stop it, in addition to preventing its trigger conditions from happening at the root, anti-virus software is also a good choice.”

Shi Fengyue’s voice interrupted Jiang Chen’s train of thought, but gave him even more inspiration. Countless new ideas flashed in his mind like fireworks.

He went directly to the computer. Shi Fengyue sat in his chair, but he just half-kneeled on the ground to record all the ideas and experimental methods that just flashed through his mind.

Jiang Chen was typing when he suddenly felt himself leaving the ground, and before he realized it, he was already sitting on the chair.

Shi Fengyue ruffled his hair, his eyes smiling, and he said in a teasing tone, “There’s no need to kneel down to thank me, just treat me to a meal.”

Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then also laughed and said, “Okay.”

After Shi Fengyue left, Jiang Chen closed the door of the laboratory, and othert than to take the time to call his parents and Shen Xu, Huo Bo and ask the school for leave, he didn’t come out for a whole week.

A week later, he contacted Li Nanfeng and obtained a lot of materials from him. He then visited several open research laboratories of Li De, from which he gained a lot of inspiration.

In the next two weeks, Jiang Chen upgraded Changjiang for the first time in this world, adding a signal recognition attack mode.

Although He Qianjian’s system operated using trigger conditions, in other words, He Qianjian’s orders, it must pass through a certain medium before it could affect people. Jiang Chen didn’t know which medium the system used, but previously Changjiang had captured a small piece of code from the system. Using this signal, Jiang Chen simulated the working path of the system tens of thousands of times, and finally got a piece of code that could be perfectly combined with the original code of the system. As long as Changjiang remembered and recognized this code, launched an attack and blocked the signal sent by that code, then He Qianjian’s system would not work.

Three weeks passed in a flash, and after the last test on Changjiang was completed, Jiang Chen finally returned home. Tomorrow was the math competition, and because he had been absent from school for three consecutive weeks, the school had already called countless times. Jiang Zhuo and Yang Si were also relieved to see him come home.

After dinner, Jiang Chen sat in front of the computer desk and turned on Wingnet.

[D: C, do you have time tomorrow?]

[C: Yes, what’s the matter?]

[D: Track IP.]

[C: The one you said before that no one in this world could trace?]

[D: Yes.]

[C: Come at me! Hell yeah! I’m already looking forward to tomorrow!]

Looking at the words on the screen, Jiang Chen slightly raised his lips in a smile. He was also looking forward to tomorrow’s arrival.
