Chapter 972 A lot of problems in the science and technology competition

This hacker competition "won the first prize", many media in China are reporting, do not pay attention to what is going on behind the scenes.

Because this kind of thing is very common in the industry.

In the words of a joke in the industry, it is called "export to domestic sales".

For example, if a research institute or a company has developed a product, if you want to show how powerful the product is, you cannot put it on the market to see market feedback.

The main thing is to go abroad to participate in a worldwide science and technology competition.

After the competition, he successfully won the championship and won the first place!

Then, the domestic reports followed suit, full of praise, praising how our country broke the technological blockade of foreign countries, how it rose, and how powerful it was.

A few unscrupulous academic scientists followed up and booed, and this matter was confirmed.

If you do some research behind the scenes, you will find that this so-called world competition was organized by a domestic intermediary agency or domestic funds. It rented a venue abroad, applied for a trademark, and then invited some people from China to go there.

Who is stronger, left hand or right hand.

Whoever wins is the world champion and number one in the world.

In fact, it is playing house, fooling the leaders and the common people.

Similar things are the same in other industries.

For example, in the film and television industry, if a film is sponsored by a pheasant film and television festival abroad, it can successfully win a best actress.

After returning to China, she changed suddenly and became the world's best actress.

The publicity effect is greatly increased.

You can harvest fans.

Another example is the Vienna Hall, Baijiu, world-class pheasant journals, international pheasant awards, academicians of world-class pheasant research institutes, authoritative foreign pheasant media, and famous foreign pheasant universities...

Basically the same.

It is to use the aura of foreign countries to bully the domestic people's lack of information, play with the psychological guidance of patriotism, curiosity, and xenophobia, and finally complete the harvest, either gaining fame or profit, or gaining a high social status.

However, things about Wu Hanqing were different this time.

First of all, he is a real person, and it is impossible to participate in a pheasant contest. This game must be genuine and have strong technical content.

Secondly, the venue this time is Silicon Valley in the United States.

The technology circle plays "export to domestic sales", and the chosen foreign venue is usually Europe, where there is no belief in technology. But Silicon Valley can't do it. Without some real materials, it is difficult to get release. Moreover, there are too many Chinese scientists in Silicon Valley, and it is too easy to reveal their secrets.

These two things are enough to show that this hacker contest is indeed real.

This is very problematic.

Since it is true, why can't Lao Mei's own people win the award?

Zhou Buqi collected the materials from Wu Hanqing, and then gave them to Liu Qing and Zhen Yu respectively, asking them to check it out. Silicon Valley advocates the ultimate liberalism, and it is easy to do social research here.

That night, Zhou Buqi went to Jiang Bingjie and Li Xinwan's side.

Dream of the Red Chamber is about to start filming, and they will go to Huairou to film next week. The time was almost up, so Zhou Buqi took the time to go there, and kindly helped Li Xinwan complete the transformation from a girl to a woman, and her life was sublimated.

It was past 10pm when we left.

There is no way, Boss Zhou is a good man, and he can't stay out at night. After returning home, he has to chat with Aunt Xue and listen to Wu Yu jokingly telling stories.

In the car, I received a call from Senior Sister Zhen Yu.

"Check it out!"

"So fast?"

"I sent an email to their association, expressing their desire to sponsor, and then asked about their sponsors and funding for the past few years. Then they replied to me and sent me the list of sponsorships for the past few years. This All associations and institutions receiving sponsorship must disclose information so as to accept social supervision.”

Zhou Buqi was a little speechless, he didn't expect it to be so simple, and asked, "Who is there?"

Zhen Yu said: "There are quite a few, there are more than a dozen. There have been five sessions in total, and the sponsors have changed a lot. However, since the third session, a sponsor with strong financial resources has appeared. The other sponsors are several 10,000 U.S. dollars, the sponsor was 5 million U.S. dollars. I checked the fund, and it didn’t feel right.”

Zhou Buqi snorted, "I knew it, there must be something wrong!"

Zhen Yu said softly: "I don't know if the information I found is accurate. I found the public information on the Internet, so it may not be right. Behind this fund is the Pentagon, and the partners are some military enterprises."

Zhou Buqi took a deep breath, "As expected!"

Zhen Yu said: "When this hacker competition was held in the first two sessions, most of the top few teams were from the United States. However, after the appearance of the big sponsor in the third session, there were fewer American teams. They are all weak ones.”

Zhou Buqi said coldly: "That's right, it must be included. The main process of this hacker competition is to find loopholes in various systems in order to complete the hacker attack. If Americans win awards every time, the world Everyone panics. American hackers are so skilled, will they take advantage of system loopholes to do some shady things on the Internet?"

Zhen Yu said in surprise: "Now, they don't allow the American team to participate. The top few are all domestic hacker teams, and the Russian team. When the results are announced, the whole world will have a reaction against our two countries. A mentality of vigilance, fear, and prevention creates hostility."

"I'm afraid it's more than that!"

Zhou Buqi sighed.

Zhen Yu couldn't figure it out, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Buqi said: "We are the contestants, and the organizer is the Americans. They set the questions, and they get the answers. Do you know what this means? Which system they fancy, and then they can set the questions, and then invite us Or the Russian hacker team helped them find loopholes. It is equivalent to paying them to hire our best white hat team to help them work, and it may turn out to be aimed at ourselves.”

Zhen Yu was terrified, her voice changed, "Zhou Buqi, you have to stop this quickly!"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't let you investigate."

"How could this happen? It's been several sessions, why didn't you find out? Many countries have been deceived."

Zhou Buqi explained: "It's not surprising, because this is a real science and technology competition, and it needs to be won by ability. Who doesn't want the title of world champion? There can also be a generous bonus. The top technologies of these participants Talents must be extremely focused on a certain field, which will inevitably lead to their lack of attention to other fields. If they do not understand the international situation, do not understand operations, markets, conspiracy, politics, diplomacy and many other factors, they will inevitably Be deceived. That’s why I’ve always been opposed to scientists chanting slogans every day to become industry leaders. They know nothing. Their greatest value is the research of science and technology. If the leeks are cut, the scientific research atmosphere will be repeatedly destroyed.”

Especially in business.

The strategic decision-making power of an enterprise must not be dominated by scientific and technological personnel.

A rare genius as strong as Bill Gates should abdicate early and give up the power of Microsoft's strategic decision-making to the salesman Steve Ballmer, and manage technology by himself.

This time the matter is not too big, but the nature is more serious.

Zhou Buqi was not in a hurry to give feedback, but was waiting for Liu Qing's news, and he wanted confirmation from both sides.

Two days later, Liu Qing's news came late.

She gave a very informative report, 27 pages in total!

According to her statement, she spent 350,000 US dollars to find a survey company to do it, and what she got back was the English version.

Zhou Buqi took a rough look.

What Senior Sister Zhenyu said, except for some differences in some details, the general situation is highly similar!

Moreover, the findings of the given situation are richer.

This is really a contest where the Pentagon wants to use the power of foreign hacker teams to find loopholes for itself.

Zhou Buqi quickly called Ning Yaxian and asked her to print out this material and translate it.

The materials must be handed over to the country as soon as possible.

Explain the whole story clearly.

In the future, similar hacking competitions held abroad will not be allowed to participate, and must be strictly prohibited. Anyone who wants to go abroad to compete must first declare and be approved by the Ministry of Public Security.

Fortunately, this time Wu Hanqing led the team on a whim and won the championship. It caused a sensation on the Intranet, and Zhou Buqi was keenly aware of it. If it is a few years later, these domestic IT security companies do not know how much they will help the Pentagon.

At this time, He Yang knocked on the door and came over to report a project he was working on.

That is, the cooperation of Ziweixing, Bajixing, Image China, National Geographic Information Bureau and other departments, using drone aerial photography to record the geographic information and development of the country, integrating it into Image China and Micropoint Map, and jointly resisting Google Earth and Google map.

The difficulty now is that the National Geographic Information Bureau is a poor government office with no money. Still a cold yamen, no right.

Even if they agree, they may not be able to push it.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "The Geographical Bureau does not have enough power to make decisions, so we should find a higher level that can make decisions."

He Yang frowned, "It's hard, isn't it?"

Zhou Buqi said in a deep voice: "Google Earth is very harmful. After Google Earth was released, they obfuscated the military bases of the US military according to the requirements of the Pentagon. Britain is the most important ally, and it has also been corrected. But This is not the case for other countries, especially our country. Didn’t this happen last year? A researcher in the United States used Google Earth to take pictures of my country’s Type 094 nuclear submarine, directly exposing our latest naval equipment.”

He Yang shook his head, "This doesn't mean anything. Google only uses commercial satellites, and they also have military satellites inside. It should have been discovered earlier."

Zhou Buqi said: "However, Google Earth cannot give users the right to label certain areas. If it is the capital street, of course it can be marked casually, and the more marked the better. But some areas must not be marked. As long as Google If the earth has opened this kind of service, someone will definitely mark it up. The information on the mark is the biggest hidden danger.”

He Yang was a little puzzled, "You mean..."

Zhou Buqi said: "Of course it is national security, which is the most important thing. Letting our drones take aerial pictures of the city will rise to a new level."

At this time, Ning Yaxian handed over the translated materials.

Zhou Buqi nodded, and handed it to He Yang, "Look at this, you might as well submit it together, the US emperor is very bad!"

He Yang took it and looked at it for a while.

Then his eyes widened.

There are some messages that are really frustrating. Again, don't listen to what people say, watch what they do. There is one thing that touched me a lot. Academician Ouyang gave a high evaluation when evaluating the aerospace industry in the United States, saying that the Apollo landing on the moon was indisputable, and thanked them for supporting our country's research with lunar soil. As a result, he was scolded on the Internet, saying that he kneeled and licked the United States, and was suspected of betraying the country. But they don't know that Academician Ouyang is the chief engineer of Chang'e's moon landing, and he is the real king of the country. Alas, very sad.
