Chapter 116: Chapter 115: Let’s Start an Internet Company First! Absolutely Uncrackable
Lu Feng followed Cheng Sisi to the computer research area.
Besides Cheng Sisi and two others, there were now two more people in this area. Among the 200-plus new members, two of them had computer skills.
The four of them were tinkering with the old phones he had brought in earlier.
Seeing Lu Feng arrive, the four of them quickly stopped what they were doing and said in unison, "Boss!"
The two newcomers had already been completely assimilated. After all, they had been eating full meals of rice every day. Moreover, there was no abuse or exploitation in this base; everything was about exchanging hard work for food.
This was better than any other Survivor Base outside. Not even the City East Alliance—hailed as the hope for Celestial Sea City’s post-apocalyptic civilization—could offer such treatment.
Although they wore electronic shackles around their necks, it was just as the others had said: this boss was rarely at the base and generally didn’t meddle with them.
Other than that, the base seemed no different from a paradise in this apocalyptic world.
"Let me see the phones," Lu Feng said with a nod.
The four immediately handed all the phones to Lu Feng.
Lu Feng took the phones and began inspecting them one by one. As soon as he turned one on, a voice came from it: "Sir, welcome to this phone. I will be at your service. You can tell me anything you need."
"..." Lu Feng’s jaw dropped.
’Isn’t this a little *too* smart?’
Lu Feng picked up a phone and tried it out. As the smart voice responded to his operations, he became certain of one thing: this virtual assistant software was far too advanced for phones in the real world.
In benchmark tests alone, every phone with this assistant software installed could easily shatter its brand’s record—by several dozen times, no less.
Even though these were second-hand phones, there was absolutely no lag. Not even the newest model from that "Rotten Apple" brand could match this level of smoothness.
And keep in mind, these second-hand phones were originally laggy as hell.
It was incredible that a single piece of software could have such an effect, seemingly making up for all the hardware deficiencies.
Lu Feng quickly said to Cheng Sisi, "Sisi, this software is well-made, but can you make it a bit more... dated? It would be best if you could make it on par with the technology of the year 2043."
’It’s too advanced; it would be too shocking in the real world. It’s better to take things one step at a time.’
’The key is to leave room for future upgrades, then release them slowly!’
"...!" Cheng Sisi was a little confused by this request.
’Generally speaking, when you need software, isn’t it the better the features and performance, the better?’
The software’s performance was already at the maximum limit these phones could handle; otherwise, they could have made it even better.
Now the boss was saying it was *too* good and wanted them to make it more dated? ’Isn’t software from that era ancient history?’
She couldn’t quite follow her boss’s line of thought, but she didn’t dare hesitate to carry out his orders. She immediately nodded and replied, "Boss, give me two days."
Obviously, with the data from the previous version, this request would be very easy to fulfill.
"Mm!" Lu Feng nodded and added another instruction, "But it must have an encryption program. It needs to be completely uncrackable."
Cheng Sisi nodded. "We’ll do our best to encrypt it!"
Hearing this, Lu Feng was relieved.
’After all, the time in this game world is so far ahead of the real world. The encryption program Cheng Sisi and her team write should be unsolvable for people back in my time.’
This was computer technology that was nearly a century ahead. As far as he knew, the current computer algorithms in the game world were completely different from those in reality.
If someone in the real world could crack it, then hell would have to freeze over.
Afterward, Lu Feng left the air-raid shelter and went up to Zhuangyuan District.
During this time, the walls around Zhuangyuan District had been built even higher. Lookout towers were also constructed on the rooftops of the buildings, allowing for coordination with the Hidden Guards.
Many of the 200-plus people they had picked up earlier had also become the base’s combat personnel. They were issued weapons and were undergoing standardized training.
Moreover, everyone’s morale was extremely high. After all, they felt a sense of belonging to a base like this and a desire to protect it.
Here, their families at least didn’t have to worry about going hungry, and they themselves could eat their fill.
In the apocalypse, you had to fight for your life anyway. If someone tried to invade this place, they would truly dare to fight back.
Otherwise, if they were captured by another faction, their fate would be too horrible to imagine.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
"..."
When Lu Feng came out, every survivor he saw bowed their heads respectfully in greeting.
The entire base was finally starting to take shape.
After a tour of inspection, Lu Feng logged out of the game and returned to his villa in the real world. He immediately called Yang Ming. "Cousin, come over to my villa. I have something I need your help with."
’Since Cheng Sisi is about to finish the phone assistant software, I’ll need to set up an internet company first to promote it.’
Yang Ming arrived at the villa shortly after. As soon as he sat down, he asked, "Xiaofeng, what do you need me to handle?"
Lu Feng got straight to the point. "Cousin, when you have time, help me register another company, an internet company this time. And while you’re at it, recruit some talented people from the tech industry for me. I have a use for them."
"???" Yang Ming was a bit puzzled by his cousin’s words.
Wasn’t his cousin’s electronics company doing just fine? Besides, Yang Lin had said the company’s products were a huge hit and sales were excellent. It was clearly on its way to making big money.
’Why is he suddenly thinking about starting an internet company now?’
’Shouldn’t he be focusing on running the electronics company properly at a time like this?’
However, he knew his cousin must have his reasons for the request, so he didn’t ask any more questions and simply nodded in agreement.
After all, he had complete faith in his cousin now. It was just like that time his cousin was doing well with tea, then suddenly jumped into electronics. He hadn’t understood it then, either.
「Two days passed quickly.」
Lu Feng entered the game once again and met with Cheng Sisi.
When Cheng Sisi saw him appear, she once again handed the phones to Lu Feng. "Boss, take a look at the new software."
Lu Feng quickly took the phones and started operating them, running various tests.
This time, a smile appeared on his face. Although the assistant software’s performance was still far superior to the existing ones in the real world—making them look like garbage by comparison—this level was just right. It could easily crush the competition without being *too* far ahead, leaving room for gradual upgrades later.
"Nice work," Lu Feng said with a smile, praising Cheng Sisi after testing the phones.
The praise made the young woman’s face flush. She immediately took out a USB drive and handed it to Lu Feng. "Boss, the source code for the software is on here. It also includes a set of virtual encryption data. The password is ****!"
This USB drive was, of course, one that Lu Feng had brought in. After all, if they were writing software on old-fashioned computers, only an old-fashioned USB drive could store the data.
High-tech things like information spheres were incompatible with laptops from the real world.
Now, he was looking forward to seeing what kind of waves this world-leading smartphone intelligent assistant software would make.
