Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 591 Before the Counterattack

All preparations have been made both in Hong Kong and Shenzhen. In other words, Lu Shaohua has already gathered his strength and is just waiting for the right time to take action. However, before that, Lu Shaohua still needs to confirm one more piece of news, which is the news about the intrusion into the MSN main server.

The reason for confirming this news is that all of Lu Shaohua's counterattack plans are prepared around this news. If there is no confirmed evidence, I am afraid that Lu Shaohua's plan cannot be implemented and QQ cannot be launched now.

Of course, what cannot be implemented refers to the entire plan. There are still some plans that can be implemented, such as acquiring shares of four companies and letting Phoenix Computer fight back. This does not conflict with confirming the news. It’s just that in that case, there will be some impact to a certain extent.

However, things have come to this point. Even if there is no evidence that the MSN main server is infected with a Trojan horse, Lu Shaohua will still go ahead with his plan, because time does not allow Lu Shaohua to delay any longer. Lu Shaohua has to get rid of this problem first and let Phoenix Group get out of the difficulties.

Everything is based on the overall situation, and Phoenix Group getting out of the predicament is the top priority. As for whether QQ can make a shocking appearance at this time, it is not so important. However, Lu Shaohua still hopes that Xu Jiarui can bring him good news. In that case, Lu Shaohua's plan will be perfect.

With uneasiness, he dialed Xu Jiarui's mobile number. It rang twice before it was connected. Lu Shaohua's tone became a little trembling as he asked, "What's the situation?"

"We succeeded." Xu Jiarui's first reply was good news, but then he became a little embarrassed and said, "We succeeded in hacking and got most of the data from MSN's main server. We are still analyzing it."

It was a success, but this success refers to the successful intrusion. The results are still being analyzed. After all, as the main MSN server under Microsoft, there is a lot of encrypted data in it. Finding evidence from those encrypted data is the final key.

Lu Shaohua was a little disappointed. Seeing that the time was getting closer and closer to the time he planned to release the evidence, it would be a lie for Lu Shaohua to say that he was not in a hurry. However, before Lu Shaohua could speak, Xu Jiarui spoke again.

"Our experts found some evidence from the system log of the MSN main server. This evidence can completely confirm that it was someone from Microsoft who did this. But after all, it's just a screenshot and it's not very convincing, so we have to analyze the data. Only by combining the two can we have greater persuasiveness and influence." Xu Jiarui finally gave Lu Shaohua some good news that was neither too big nor too small.

Hearing this, Lu Shaohua's heavy mood finally eased a lot, and his brain could not help but work quickly. He had obtained evidence, although it was not very convincing, but after all, a little bit of evidence was evidence, and even if it was not very convincing, it would allow Lu Shaohua to complete his plan.

Of course, due to the lack of persuasiveness, the effect will definitely be somewhat different, but Lu Shaohua is already very happy that it can be done perfectly according to the plan. "It's good to have evidence, but we can't relax on analyzing the data. After all, there are still a few hours before we publish the evidence. You guys should try your best."

Yesterday Xu Jiarui held a press conference and gave the media an exact time, which was to be announced near noon US time. It is now a little after eight in the morning in Hong Kong time, while it is early morning in the United States. How many hours have passed since the evidence was released?

"Don't worry, we will do our best." Xu Jiarui said seriously.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua was quite satisfied with Xu Jiarui's serious tone. He nodded while holding the phone, and after a moment's silence, he said, "There is one more thing to note. The system logs you obtained from the MSN server were obtained through improper means. You have to tamper with the time of publication, otherwise Microsoft will find an excuse to attack us."

"Don't worry, I have already thought about it and made some preparations." After a pause, Xu Jiarui said on the other end of the phone. "Including the analyzed data, if there is evidence, I will let the experts handle it so that Microsoft can't find an excuse and can prove that it was Microsoft who did it on MSN."

"Okay." Lu Shaohua was very happy and said it heavily.

Although there are no relevant laws and regulations on network intrusion, from a moral point of view, Phoenix Group's action of sending people to invade Microsoft's MSN main server was not quite right. Even if Phoenix Group is not in trouble in the end, its reputation will always be bad.

Now, Xu Jiarui has already considered this aspect. Lu Shaohua was relieved and had more confidence in Xu Jiarui, a great general. Finally, he did not forget to say one more sentence. "I am ready here. I am just waiting for you to collect evidence. When you hold a press conference, I will fight back in full force."

"Don't worry, I will try my best to collect conclusive evidence. At the same time, I will fully cooperate in the counterattack." Xu Jiarui also made a guarantee.

"so be it."

After hanging up the phone with Xu Jiarui, Lu Shaohua felt more or less proud. He didn't know where the unhappiness just now had disappeared. He looked at the phone leisurely until Qin Sichen returned to the villa at noon and brought Lu Shaohua several advertising plans. Only then did Lu Shaohua have something to do.

"There are three plans here, take a look." Qin Sichen threw a 3.5-inch disk to Lu Shaohua, then put down his bag and ran to the kitchen to cook.

What else could Lu Shaohua do? He could only shake his head with a wry smile, then walked towards the study with the disk. There was no other way, as Lu Shaohua's laptop did not have a floppy disk port, only two USB ports, so the disk could not be read. He could only go to the desktop computer in the study to read the data inside.

However, when holding the 3.5-inch disk, Lu Shaohua had a different thought in his heart. Yes, in his previous life, Lu Shaohua had always used USB flash drives, and now he suddenly held a floppy disk, so naturally he had mixed feelings.

Thinking carefully, it seemed that the USB flash drive did not appear at that time. Lu Shaohua suddenly had an idea in his mind. The technical director of the bar might have some understanding of software, but the USB flash drive was a hardware technology. Lu Shaohua could only write down his ideas and the function of the USB flash drive, and then let the Phoenix base in Shenzhen to research and develop it.

Although Lu Shaohua was not very familiar with hardware, he still knew the principle of USB flash drives, and this principle was the key to whether USB flash drives could appear. Lu Shaohua wrote down the principle and asked it to be sent to Shenzhen so that they could develop it as soon as possible.

In fact, the principle of the USB flash drive is very simple. The computer converts the binary digital signal into a composite binary digital signal (adding instructions such as allocation, verification, and stacking) and reads and writes it to the USB chip adapter interface. The chip processes the signal and allocates it to the corresponding address of the EEPROM storage chip to store the binary data, thus realizing data storage.

The control principle of EPROM data storage is that voltage controls the voltage high and low values ​​of the gate transistor. The junction capacitance of the gate transistor can preserve the voltage value for a long time. The reason why data can be preserved after power failure is mainly because a floating gate and a select gate are added to the original transistor.

A floating gate that stores electrons is formed on a semiconductor that conducts current unidirectionally between the source and drain. The floating gate is wrapped with a silicon oxide film insulator. Above it is a selection/control gate that controls the conduction current between the source and drain.

Whether the data is 0 or 1 depends on whether there are electrons in the floating gate formed on the silicon substrate. The presence of electrons is 0, and the absence of electrons is 1. Flash memory is just as its name suggests, and data is deleted before writing to initialize.

Specifically, it is to extract electrons from all floating gates. That is, all data is set to "1". When writing, it is only written when the data is 0, and nothing is done when the data is 1. When writing 0, a high voltage is applied to the gate electrode and the drain to increase the energy of the electrons conducted between the source and the drain. In this way, the electrons will break through the oxide film insulator and enter the floating gate. When reading data, a certain voltage is applied to the gate electrode, and the current is large when it is 1, and the current is small when it is 0.

When there are no electrons in the floating gate, and a voltage is applied to the drain while a voltage is applied to the gate electrode, a current will be generated between the source and the drain due to the movement of a large number of electrons. When there are electrons in the floating gate, the number of electrons conducted in the channel will decrease. This is because the voltage applied to the gate electrode is absorbed by the floating gate electrons and has little effect on the channel.

It took half an hour to finish writing the principle of the USB flash drive. Lu Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief, read it carefully again, reviewed it, corrected a few typos, and finally wrote "develop it as soon as possible" at the bottom of the paper.

There is no need to say much about what happened next. Now that he had a computer, Lu Shaohua's network was sent to Shenzhen. He then called Chu Lei and asked him to pick him up. There was nothing else to do for Lu Shaohua.

After finishing everything, Lu Shaohua put all his attention on three advertising plans. All three advertisements were centered around QQ. The first one that Lu Shaohua saw focused on highlighting the image of QQ, using a penguin as a representative, and then added a slogan: "With QQ, your life and entertainment will be more warm."

After reading the first advertising plan, Lu Shaohua was basically satisfied. After all, the image of QQ - the penguin - made a deep impression on Lu Shaohua and he could easily accept it subconsciously.

However, Lu Shaohua now had to look at the advertising plan with an objective mentality. Therefore, even though he was very satisfied with the first advertising plan, Lu Shaohua still suppressed his like and turned to look at the second advertising plan.

I have to say that Chen Darong and his team worked very hard. The second advertising plan was also very novel. The main theme it highlighted was the powerful functions of QQ, which was very practical. Lu Shaohua was also quite satisfied with it.

The third advertising plan was also excellent, highlighting the power of online chat, focusing on speed, video function, work needs, etc., which was quite diverse. However, what made Lu Shaohua dissatisfied was that it was a bit similar to the second plan.

After reading the three advertising plans, Lu Shaohua let out a breath, closed his eyes to think about it, and opened his eyes instantly, with a plan in mind.

That's right, the moment Lu Shaohua opened his eyes, he had already made up his mind to use the first advertising plan. As for the second and third ones, Lu Shaohua planned to use them as backups, or as alternating plans.

An advertisement cannot be used for a long time, and it is inevitable to replace it from time to time. Lu Shaohua certainly knows this, and the remaining two options are both acceptable to Lu Shaohua, so there is no problem in using them as backups.

Since the decision had been made, there was no need for Lu Shaohua to stay in the study. He tidied up, went downstairs, told Qin Sichen, who had just finished his work, about his decision, then washed his hands and prepared to eat.

After lunch, Qin Sichen returned to the group to work, and the villa returned to silence. An afternoon passed, and then night came again. After dinner, Lu Shaohua sat on the sofa, staring at the TV without blinking, paying attention to the news, paying attention to the news of the press conference held by Phoenix Group in the United States.

As for what the results would be and what effects it would have, Lu Shaohua didn't think about it.
