Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 467 Goodbye, Private Clothes.

Compared to Mi Jing, Xue Man is in a much better mood right now.

He knows the global IT giants very well, and what these global IT giants want is a controllable Chinese market.

The Momo Group is now likely to get out of control.

The fate of Momo Group depends on its choices.

If Momo Group chooses to submit, those global IT giants might still leave Momo Group a path to sustainable development.

But if Momo Group chooses to fight back, things will get interesting.

From the 90s to the present, many domestic brands have tried to fight back, but without exception, they have all fallen.

Even Huawei paid IBM 40 billion yuan in tuition fees in 2000.

Now it remains to be seen whether Momo Group understands the importance of perseverance and patience.

In the past few days, Shengda Group has finally gradually moved from chaos back to normalcy.

This period was a break for Momo Group and Shengda Group. Cheng Yi's schedule was packed every day, with leaders from Zhonghai City visiting or business representatives coming to offer their condolences.

Their purpose was clear: they wanted to see if Shengda Group would continue to stay in Zhonghai City.

They were all very happy after receiving Cheng Yi's affirmative answer.

In fact, most people have the same mentality as the county magistrate's wife in "Let the Bullets Fly".

She didn't care who the county magistrate was, because all she wanted was to be the county magistrate's wife.

It doesn't matter who leads Shengda Group, as long as it remains a company in Zhonghai City.

After this period of turmoil, the number of online players in the game dropped again, with the highest number of online players reaching 110 million.

Meanwhile, the game "Honghuang Zhanji" reached a peak of 200 million concurrent online players, firmly establishing itself as the strongest online game in China.

Cheng Yi had no intention of developing Shengda Group properly.

The core of all domestic and international corporate acquisitions is ultimately to acquire resources, users, and distribution channels.

Once all the nutrients are absorbed, the company becomes useless.

However, Shengda Group cannot collapse now. If Shengda Group collapses, then private servers will really become rampant.

Once these private servers spread like wildfire, they will have a significant impact on the Chinese online gaming industry.

Private servers, as long as they are under your control, will not only not have any negative impact, but can also generate huge profits.

In its previous life, the reason why the Legend IP was so popular was truly thanks to Legend private servers.

The proliferation of private servers for the legendary game has brought the legend to every corner of the world.

This is like finding hundreds of thousands of partners who don't need to be paid, and these partners will work hard to promote and advertise, the scale of which is simply unimaginable.

Therefore, Cheng Yi now faces two choices.

The first option is to eliminate the private servers of Legend of Mir and integrate Legend of Mir and Legend of Mir 3 into the Momo system.

The second option is to launch a private server licensing business for Legend of Mir, making Legend of Mir the number one IP in the lower-tier market.

Cheng Yi hesitated for a whole day before finally choosing the first option.

Although the second option is very tempting and could even open up a trillion-dollar market, the copyright of the Legend IP is too ambiguous, and supporting private servers would easily attract hostility and a sense of crisis from competitors.

Having made this decision, Cheng Yi dialed Lin Qingyin's number.

Lin Qingyin's daily studies are very fulfilling now. Half a year ago, in order to help Lin Qingyin's programming skills improve and to make the Momo system more in line with international standards, Momo Operating System Company and Enze Capital, the major shareholder of Momo Group, reached an in-depth remote cooperation agreement.

Enze's Gods Network Research Institute has compiled a list of the world's most unruly programmers, such as Andy Rubin, who was fired by Microsoft.

The Gods Network Research Institute was founded a year ago. Most of its members are similar to Andy Rubin, acting independently and belonging to the outliers of various IT giants.

For example, Andy Rubin worked as a technician at Apple in his early years and developed the first smartphone system, Magic Cap, in 1990. Unfortunately, his ideas were too ahead of their time and no one accepted them at the time.

Later, he joined Microsoft and studied his favorite robot on his own. Microsoft is very tolerant of genius programmers. Even if these genius programmers do nothing but study ants every day, Microsoft will still pay them.

Despite Microsoft's corporate culture being very tolerant of talented programmers, Andy Rubin still made a big mistake, forcing Microsoft to fire him.

The reason is ridiculous.

Because Andy Rubin was particularly interested in studying robots, he created a walking robot that would wander around various areas of Microsoft every day. The robot was also equipped with a camera and a microphone.

This behavior was already unacceptable to Microsoft executives, but what's even more outrageous is that the robot was hacked.

And so, this robot began broadcasting live footage of every single thing at Microsoft Corporation every day...

After being fired, Andy Rubin rented a small supermarket in Silicon Valley to use as a laboratory and continued to research robotics technology. He stayed there for two years until he was selected by Enze Capital, where he started a new life.

Rather than saying he was chosen by Enze Capital, it would be more accurate to say he was chosen by Cheng Yi.

Because Andy Rubin is the future father of Android.

Besides Andy Rubin, Enze Capital also recruited dozens of programmers who were just as neurotic as Andy Rubin.

Their Gods Network Research Institute has been jokingly referred to by many media outlets as a mental health research institute.

The Gods Network Research Institute occasionally discusses operating systems and related technologies remotely with Yu Sen and others. In addition, the 57 programmers of the Gods Network Research Institute give Lin Qingyin one hour of remote instruction every week.

This mandatory work was initially difficult for these free-spirited programmers to accept, but gradually they discovered that Lin Qingyin's learning ability far exceeded their expectations.

Lin Qingyin was able to grasp and understand many of the things they said.

This immediately piqued the interest of this group of unruly individuals.

They come from different fields; some are skilled in hacking, some in PC operating systems, some in mobile operating systems, some in communications, some in device technology, and some in component technology. This is almost a hodgepodge of knowledge, which would have left an ordinary programmer completely bewildered.

But Lin Qingyin accepted it all.

Eight hours of study every day led to a qualitative leap in her computer skills within just six months.

Only now does Lin Qingyin understand the vast difference between domestic and foreign computer technologies.

Looking back at Professor Yu and his colleagues now, we realize that Professor Yu was only applying one of the computer system technologies he had just learned.

"Cheng Yi." Lin Qingyin's tone was clearly happy when she received Cheng Yi's call.

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "There's something I need you to handle."

"Okay," Lin Qingyin replied.

Cheng Yi said, "Modify the botnet program we made before, reduce its strength to one percent of the original, and then repackage it as a system file. Install it into the Momo system when Teacher Yu isn't looking."

"Huh?" Lin Qingyin exclaimed in surprise, "If Teacher Yu finds out, he'll definitely be angry." "That's why we can't let him find out," Cheng Yi laughed. "You definitely have a way, right?"

Lin Qingyin considered for a moment and said, "It should be about right."

"Okay, let me know after you've sorted this out," Cheng Yi said with a smile.

If Yu Sen knew about this, he would surely die of anger, bleeding from all seven orifices.

The Momo system is even more like Yu Sen's own son. Cheng Yi's act of putting botnets in the system is simply Yu Sen's Achilles' heel.

However, to maximize the power of the brute force, it is necessary to prevent it from entering the system.

Previously, it was placed on the computer in the Momo Internet Cafe, but once the computer was restarted, this botnet program needed to be restarted, which was very troublesome.

It's much easier to put it in the system. Just like a plugin, no matter how you clean it up or uninstall it, it's like a shadow.

In the past, the rogue company where Cheng Yi worked also put botnet programs into a streamlined version of Windows 7. As long as the strength of the botnet program was reduced and it did not consume too much memory, it would be almost undetectable, since the program had become a system file.

Lin Qingyin is very efficient. Her current status is like that of a sect's holy maiden. Almost no one is on guard against Lin Qingyin. It would be incredibly easy for her to place a botnet program in the Momo system.

As night fell, Cheng Yi had just returned to the apartment area of ​​Black Panther Security's Zhonghai branch when Lin Qingyin sent him a message.

It's done.

"Let's get started!" Cheng Yi didn't hesitate any longer. He immediately returned to his room and opened the DDoS attack software on his laptop.

It's 7:30 PM now, which is the peak time for Momo Internet Cafe. Long queues have formed in both the computer lab and the cafe itself.

The number of broiler chickens is 2378145.

Looking at the number of botnets displayed in the program, Cheng Yi felt it was somewhat unreal.

This number roughly corresponds to the number of computers in Momo Internet Cafe and computer lab.

To be honest, he had never fought such a lucrative battle in his life.

Cheng Yi retrieved the private server research report from Shengda Group. The report contained nearly 300 private servers with a scale of thousands of online players.

Cheng Yi first logged into the top-ranked private server website and then downloaded the private server patch package.

By opening the server file of the patch package, Cheng Yi easily found the server IP information.

He put the server IP into the DDoS attack software, clicked the start button, and said, "Die."

In an instant, in an internet cafe in Guilin Province, many people shouted, "Boss, your private server is disconnected!"

"Disconnected? Let me check?" The internet cafe owner immediately ran to the computer and tried to log in to the remote backend, but found that the remote server could not be connected.

"What's going on?" The internet cafe owner immediately dialed the technician's number and said, "Hey, Lao Zheng, are you at the computer? Come take a look, we can't log into our Lijiang Legend game."

"Okay." The technician's tone was also hurried, and soon the sound of clattering keyboards could be heard on the other end of the phone.

After a while, the technician said in a deep voice, "We've been attacked! It's a DDoS attack."

"What should we do then?" the internet cafe owner said anxiously. "You need to solve this quickly. I just spent a lot of money on advertising."

"Don't rush, let me ask the server provider first."

The internet cafe owner hung up the phone, feeling a little panicked.

His Lijiang Legend game had over 8000 online players, and he could earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a day just by lying down. In addition, their server was a Hong Kong server, and the local department in charge was his cousin. He had been promoting and advertising it without any restraint, and he had reaped the benefits brought by the game.

When will I be able to log in?

"What's wrong with you guys? Is this even going to work?"

"Private servers are really not as good as official ones."

Hearing the complaints from inside the internet cafe, the owner couldn't help but call the technician again.

The tech guy said in a somber tone, "Brother Wang, the situation is not optimistic."

"What does this mean?" The internet cafe owner's heart skipped a beat.

The technician said, "The data center just told us that we were hit by a DDoS attack with a rate of millions per second. All the machines in their data center are now down, especially our servers, whose IPs have been frozen for three days."

"Frozen for 3 days?" the internet cafe owner pressed. "So we can't operate the server for these 3 days?"

"Yes," the technology provider said.

"Are you kidding me? I could have paid over ten thousand yuan for the server!" The internet cafe owner was furious.

The tech expert sighed, "This is a million DDoS attacks per second. Even the official Shengda (the company behind Shengda) couldn't withstand it, let alone us. Besides, we're running a private server, so even if we report it to the police, they can't take action."

"Is there no other way?" the internet cafe owner muttered.

The technician sighed, "There's no way to deal with a DDoS attack. You either have to wait for them to stop or call the police."

"Second one!" Cheng Yi entered another IP address and clicked start.

In just one second, the IP became unreachable.

“The third one!” Cheng Yi entered the IP address one after another. He spent the entire night continuously entering these private server IP addresses.

By 10 p.m., all 300 private servers had been shut down.

Cheng Yi is very familiar with DDoS attacks. With his massive traffic of two million, these private servers will probably be unable to launch for at least three days, or at most seven days.

After taking down these private servers, Cheng Yi quickly logged into the Legend Private Server Exchange Network and posted a thread: "[A veteran Legend player who spends 10 RMB annually is looking for a private server to play on, any recommendations?]"

Soon, many people replied with the URL.

Cheng Yi logged into each of these websites, downloaded the patch packages for each one, and added their IPs to the DDoS attack software.

They all die!
The exhilarating feeling of attacking servers made him unable to stop.

By midnight, someone finally replied to his post: "[This guy is a hacker! Everyone stop replying! The server will be attacked!]"

"Finally, someone smart. But too bad, I've killed almost all of them." Cheng Yi opened the DDoS attack software to check the records. He had attacked a total of 487 private servers since 7:30.

487 kills!

If he attacks repeatedly like this a few times, these private servers will basically be finished.

The technology for game shields won't be available until 2009.

Before the advent of game shield technology, the only way to deal with DDoS attacks was to rent a high-defense server or build your own dedicated data center.

Regardless of the method used, the price is beyond what a private server can afford.
