Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations - Chapter 105
105 Investigation
After Li Chengqian and He Hongyan arrived at Dragon City, they were received at the airport by a limousine from Baidu Corporation.
The two of them went straight to the headquarters of Baidu Corporation where the control center was.
“President Li, this is our company’s internal network. Can you remove the control of the servers and software here?” He Hongyan smiled apologetically.
Through their conversations on the journey, He Hongyan realized that his loss was not in vain.
!!
He was full of admiration for Li Chengqian’s mastery of structural network construction, operating system, programming, and other related areas.
Many things that were difficult for He Hongyan to understand and solve became simple and straightforward upon Li Chengqian’s explanation.
On the journey from Tianyi City to Dragon City, He Hongyan shamelessly asked him questions on all the technical difficulties he had encountered in the past few years.
Li Chengqian taught him conscientiously.
He Hongyan had gained a lot.
“Sure!” Li Chengqian took out his laptop and connected it to Baidu Corporation’s internal network.
In front of He Hongyan, he used the command-line tool and entered a few lines of commands.
“Done!”
“President He, the anti-hacking program has stopped running and has been removed from your company’s servers.
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, the majestic divine dragon that was slowly swimming on the big screen of Baidu Corporation silently disappeared.
The majestic, lifelike dragon that was swimming non-stop also disappeared from all of Baidu Corporation’s software products.
Reports began to come into his phone.
“President He, the server is back to normal!”
“President He, the software is functioning normally now!”
After He Hongyan saw these messages, his face relaxed. He sent a standard reply to these messages and then once again fixed his gaze on Li Chengqian.
The servers and software had returned to normal. It was indeed something to be happy about, but when he thought of the materials in Li Chengqian’s hands, he couldn’t cheer up.
This was especially so after he heard that Lin Tian Internet Media Company was now being investigated after a whistleblower sent incriminating evidence on their internet smear campaign against the Divine Dragon Software Company.
Although the identity of the whistleblower had never been established, he knew that Li Chengqian must have been behind this.
This was Li Chengqian’s revenge!
If he antagonized Li Chengqian, he might face the same revenge.
The consequences were not something he could afford.
With this thought in mind, He Hongyan shelved whatever little tricks he had up his sleeves.
“President Li, all the servers in Baidu Corporation have returned to normal.” He Hongyan’s tone was like a subordinate reporting to his superior.
“What about the issue with Tencent Corporation? How are you going to deal with it?” Tencent Corporation had made a police report. They had also taken legal action. They had also lodged a complaint with the Cyberspace Administration Office. This matter had caused an uproar online. If Li Chengqian wasn’t careful, there would be serious consequences.
For now, Tencent Corporation’s servers are still under Divine Dragon Software Company’s control. Its software are still promoting the Divine Dragon Optimization App.
This was the truth, and it was irrefutable.
“If you don’t handle it well, it will have a huge impact on you.” Because Li Chengqian had something on him, He Hongyan had no choice but to advise Li Chengqian. He was worried that he would be implicated should Li Chengqian be prosecuted.
“You don’t have to worry about this matter. I’ll take care of it!” Li Chengqian said calmly.
“Do what I’ve instructed you to do properly. It will come in handy soon.” On the way to Baidu Corporation, Li Chengqian asked He Hongyan to put all the apps of Baidu Corporation on the Divine Dragon App Store.
“President Li, don’t worry. It’ll be done in two days.” He Hongyan nodded confidently.
Li Chengqian nodded. After bidding farewell to He Hongyan, he went straight to the Academy of Space Technology under the Academy of Sciences.
The Divine Dragon Optimization App was shortlisted for the National Foundational Improvement Project on the recommendation of Lin Xiong, an engineer with the Academy of Space Technology.
Li Chengqian had to go to the Academy of Space Technology to thank him in person.
Moreover, before Li Chengqian came, Lin Xiong had specially requested for him to make a trip to the Academy of Space Technology, as he needed his help with something.
At the entrance of the Academy of Space Technology, Lin Xiong had a strained smile on his face. His eyes were filled with anxiety and fatigue as he waited for Li Chengqian.
After meeting Li Chengqian, they exchanged brief greetings before proceeding inside.
“Li Chengqian, I’m sorry. There are strict security rules here because we are a top security unit. Phones and other communication devices are not allowed inside. Please leave your phone in the guard room,” Lin Xiong said apologetically.
Li Chengqian nodded and handed over his phone. “Teacher Lin, I can understand!”
After Li Chengqian arrived at Lin Xiong’s office, he immediately got down to business.
“Student Li Chengqian, I called you over today because I have an urgent matter.”
For the past few days, there had been some problems with the space station. Every day or so, the altitude of the space station would decrease by one centimeter. We had to manually adjust the altitude each time.
It might seem like a small matter, but in fact, it represented a safety threat to the space station.
It might be only one centimeter now, but it might become one meter in a few days, or even… derail.
After discovering the problem, the relevant personnel investigated immediately.
In the beginning, everyone felt that it was probably a hardware malfunction.
However, after investigation, it was found that the hardware was not malfunctioning.
The fault should lie with the software.
However, Lin Xiong’s team had been working on the issue for a week and had not found any problems with the software.
Lin Xiong also invited relevant experts from the Institute of Software Research, which was under the Academy of Sciences, to take a look, but they couldn’t pinpoint the issue either.
At this moment, he thought of Li Chengqian, who had developed the space station operating system on his own.
Not only had Li Chengqian developed the space station operating system, but he had also developed the Divine Dragon Optimization App, which was more advanced than the Android Virtual Machine!
“Li Chengqian, please help me take a look at this source code and see if there’s a problem. Every time there’s an automatic position adjustment, there will be a little deviation.” Lin Xiong placed a laptop in front of Li Chengqian. The source code that Li Chengqian was asked to review was already on the laptop.
As it involved a top-secret incident, Lin Xiong only vaguely explained the situation without going into details.
Li Chengqian didn’t probe further. His gaze shifted to the code file.
A line of notifications appeared.
[Tiangong Space Station Control Program, software level E.]
Li Chengqian was stunned, but he did not show it.
He took an overview of the file. The size of the control program was about 15 Mb, and there were about 80,000 lines of source code.
“Li Chengqian, the automatic positional control program has about 3,000 lines of code. The problem should be in this segment.” Lin Xiong located the cursor to the positional control code segment.
“Li Chengqian, please help me this time. This matter is very important.” Lin Xiong looked at Li Chengqian with hopeful eyes. He had already tried all kinds of methods, Li Chengqian was his last resort.
In the event Li Chengqian couldn’t find out what the problem was…
The last resort would be to take the risk and upload the unverified space station positional control program that Li Chengqian had developed in the competition for use in the space station. The original system would be used as a backup system.
However, there was also a huge risk in doing so.
A space station was no laughing matter. It was a high-risk industry where you could do 10,000 things right, but the project would still fail when you got one thing wrong.
“Alright, Teacher Lin.” Li Chengqian nodded. After seeing the name of the software, he knew that this was serious business.
There was a problem with the position and speed control of the space station. This was indeed a fatal problem.
“Rational Thinking!”
“Focus!”
After the Skills were activated, Li Chengqian’s mood stabilized and rationality occupied his brain. Under the effect of Rational Thinking, his brain was thinking and operating like a computer. It appeared like he was reviewing the code, but in fact, he was using his brain to simulate this program.
Any problems in the program wouldn’t escape his eyes.
…
Tianyi City, Divine Dragon Software Company.
Zhao Na’s forehead was covered in perspiration as she called Li Chengqian again and again.
“The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later…” She kept getting the same notification every time she dialed.
Qin Datong had already entered Divine Dragon Software Company with the police from Jinshan Province and got all the company’s personnel under control.
They are being questioned one by one.
The internet security experts specially sent by the police department were processing, sealing, and preparing to take the computers back to the police station for data analysis.
“President Zhao, you haven’t got through to Li Chengqian yet?” Qin Datong asked with a frown.
“His phone has been switched off!” Zhao Na replied nervously before continuing to try.
“Think of a way to inform him. Tell him to come back immediately and cooperate with the investigation no matter what he’s doing.”
“This matter is being supervised by the Cyberspace Administration Office. There is high public interest in the matter and the superiors are very concerned too…!”
“Tell him that running away wouldn’t solve the problem. It would only cause more serious consequences.”
The same scene was being played out at Li Chengqian’s house.
Li Chengqian’s computer, books and notebook were all taken away by the police.
“Mr. Li, please inform Li Chengqian immediately that he is under investigation at the Tianyi City Bureau. Running away won’t solve the problem. He should work with the authorities so as to mitigate his culpability.”
“Officer, what did my son do?” Li Tianlan asked, his face ashen.
“He illegally controlled all the servers and software of the Tencent Corporation! He’s suspected of illegally controlling the computer systems!” the police officer replied competently.
Chen Li’s face was pale. “Officer, is there a mistake? My son is a good boy. He definitely won’t do anything illegal.”
Li Tianlan felt as if all her energy had been sucked out of her.
