From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 432 Sword Pointing at Mars Hunter
Hank Henshaw!

While Kara and Red Cyclone were testing each other, Kevin was looking at the files on the screen, a cold smile flashing across his face.

This is a Martian!

A Martian with shapeshifting abilities, disguised as an Earthling, replaces the real Hank Henshaw as the head of the DEO. An alien running an agency specifically designed to combat aliens—it's a joke.

“DEO is a good department. Find an opportunity to expose his identity and take his place.”

The civil service system in the United States is different from that in China. You don't need to climb the ladder step by step. As long as you follow the right person, you can rise to the top in one step. Of course, the premise is that you have money, people, and connections. Fortunately, the United States has all of these.

"Kevin, what are you doing? Why am I getting a call from the military?!"

Kate burst through the door, demanding, "The company has a new product, how could I, as the CEO, not know about it?"

Kevin sat calmly in his chair, looking at Kate who was rushing over aggressively, and said, "The company hasn't released any new products, just a new service."

"A new service?!"

"Yes, the central hub of the recursive transcendental topological neural matrix defense protocol."

"What?!" Kate's expression clearly froze, staring blankly at Kevin. She understood the first word Kevin said, but when put together, it didn't sound like human speech.

“Uh…” Kevin slapped his forehead in frustration. “I forgot, you can’t even understand a linear equation in one variable.”

Kate's face darkened. "What does this have to do with a linear equation in one variable?"

"You can think of it as a firewall, a firewall developed based on the strong AI Red Queen that I developed. Red Queen, say hello."

"Hello, Ms. Kate, I am the Red Queen!"

A pleasant, melodious voice rang out in the office, startling Kate. She instinctively replied, "Uh, hello..."

“The military’s security services are currently provided by Luther Corporation, but you know, Lex Luther has gone too far in some ways, and there have been several security incidents before. The military is somewhat dissatisfied with Luther Corporation’s services, so they are currently bidding. Red Queen happened to find out and submitted a proposal. I only just found out about this myself.” Kevin tapped the table lightly, and his words pulled Kate out of her daze.

“Strong AI?” As the most powerful woman in Naxinno, she certainly knew what artificial intelligence was and that many companies had developed their own AI, but few had actually been commercialized and their functions were generally unsatisfactory.

As a media professional, in addition to these technological developments, she also pays attention to other aspects, such as the threat of artificial intelligence to humanity. Of course, her understanding of artificial intelligence is limited to knowing its name and superficial functions.

She never imagined that her younger brother could develop strong artificial intelligence, which once again refreshed her understanding of Kevin.

“You don’t need to know the specific technical details, and you wouldn’t understand even if I told you. Just follow the military’s procedures to participate in this bidding process. Also, find some connections and lobbyists; military contracts are very lucrative,” Kevin said. “This is a big deal, affecting our wallets. I think you know what to do, right?”

“I know what to do, I don’t need your instructions,” Kate said, looking annoyed, and turned to leave.

“And what about your Kate Co? Don’t you want to upgrade your security? The little company you’re using now has terrible technology. I’ll give you a cost price, three million a year, how about that?” “Three million?” Kate stopped in her tracks and turned to Kevin. “Are you crazy? This company only charges five hundred thousand a year, and you’ve doubled that?”

“Hmph, after winning the bid, I’ll receive 30 million from the military every year,” Kevin said with a smile. “As for your company, Red Queen, take a look at their security record.”

"Okay, BOSS!" Red Queen's voice rang out again. Immediately afterwards, a vase on Kevin's desk lit up, and several beams of light shot out, converging in the middle of the office to form a holographic image.

The video shows an employee inserting a USB drive into an office computer. "This happened three days ago. Your IT department's Weir connected an external device without authorization, allowing a worm virus to breach the outdated firewall."

A holographic map of the virus's propagation path appeared, spreading like blood vessels throughout the entire intranet, eventually exploding at the finance server.

"The funniest thing is that your company's firewall didn't detect it. It was only because your company's network was connected to our network that Red Queen found it and took care of it for you."

“I had Red Queen check your network, and the trouble is much bigger than we thought,” Kevin said. “Your database has been compromised.”

The holographic image displayed a massive stream of data. "I don't know what the company providing your services was thinking. They only used AES-128 encryption for such crucial financial and user data. According to records, a month ago, a hacker bypassed the weak encryption to obtain a 1250GB data packet, which included some financial and user data. It's already being sold on the dark web. Just a day ago, that guy tried to use the same method again, but Red Queen stopped him. I had Red Queen find out about this guy."

As he spoke, the holographic image transformed into a human figure: "Alexei Vasilyevich Sokolov, a hacker from Russia, is now employed by the Ministry of Homeland Security and takes orders from this man, Claire Reed!"

The holographic image changed again, transforming into the appearance of a short-haired, capable woman. "Of course, I'm pretty sure this guy was doing side jobs while completing the mission, because he only sent Claire a portion of the user data, not the financial data."

Tuk tuk…

Kevin tapped the table twice, and the holographic image disappeared completely. He looked at Kate with a smile and said, "So, I think three million is a very reasonable number. What do you think?!"

“I will investigate this matter.” Kate’s face was so dark it seemed like it could drip water. “Are you sure that hacker is Claire’s man?”

"It seems you two know each other."

“Of course,” Kate said, “but I need evidence.”

"The Red Queen will send all the evidence to your computer. Of course, you may not be able to understand it, but your company's technicians should be able to understand it. Although his skills are not very good, he is still a professional."

"If your statement is verified, I will consider switching to another service provider."

“Another deal closed.” Kevin smiled slightly. “Red Queen, access the files of the Extraordinary Investigation Department and build a feasibility model. I want to become the director of the Extraordinary Investigation Bureau within six months.”

"Yes, sir."

The Red Queen's voice echoed in the office, but Kevin had already disappeared from the office.
