The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 522: The Holographic Treasure Box in Reality! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

The players who were watching the fun were only concerned with watching the fun, but those who knew the business were surprised -

Is Zhihui’s cyber attack technology so powerful?

Robot companies from all over the world have arrived in Ningzhou only a week ago, and today is their first specific appearance.

How could they hack into four robots from different companies in such a short time?
Even from three different countries, the operating systems may be very different!
Is this something that can be done easily?

Do you really think everyone is Xu Meng? ?

Besides, where do you get the computing power?
Relying on the tablet in your hand?

While they were confused, the British robot was almost smashed by "their own people".

They quickly admitted defeat and tried to save the badly damaged robot.

Just when they admitted defeat, before Zhihui's engineers could react, Xiao Meng appeared among the four robots.

Before the audience could worry about Xiao Meng, the four robots stopped at the same time.

The next second, they started fighting each other again.

He just ignored Xiao Meng and the scarred British robot nearby.

This sudden situation caused the game to end quickly in just five minutes.

As expected, as soon as the game was over, the four teams whose robots were hacked and the British players who were beaten up by their friends filed complaints to the referee at the same time.

"They broke the rules of the game!"

"Engineers can only assist their own robots and cannot directly attack other robots."

"Yeah! If the engineer can just go down, why don't I take the gun myself!"

They were very dissatisfied.

So the referee went to find Zhihui’s engineer to inquire about the situation and checked their equipment.

Zhihui’s three engineers, as the outside world knows, are very young.

And their behavior is also consistent with their age:

That's a satisfying feeling!
Facing an opponent whose robot was hacked, Du Huaiyi, the team leader, almost had disdain written all over his face:
"We didn't intervene. These are all functions pre-installed in the robot system."

"As for how we did it?"

"Ha! You should ask them themselves!"

"They just copied the technology from the Internet, and not only did they not modify it at all, they didn't even bother to add a firewall?"

"If they had rewritten the code, it wouldn't have been so easy to be hacked!"

The referee was a little surprised: "You mean, the robots of those four companies use exactly the same system and code?"

"Not only that!" Du Huaiyi's face showed clear anger.

“Of the 82 companies on site, at least 30 have the exact same system!”

The referee was very surprised and subconsciously doubted the authenticity of this statement.

The audience was also stunned.

The entire audience was instantly filled with noisy whispers.

As soon as Du Huaiyi saw the referee's expression and the audience's reaction, he knew they didn't believe it.

So he further explained: "You still remember [Bitstorm], right?"

The referee nodded.

"At that time, Xu... um, I mean the Digital Emperor." Du Huaiyi braked in time.

Even if the whole world knows that [BitStorm] was done by Xu Meng.

But that was an illegal operation after all, and Xu Meng never admitted it.

He cannot reveal Xu Meng's pseudonym in public.

"At that time, Digital Emperor and Ether Technology were still rivals. After destroying Ether Technology's servers, Digital Emperor uploaded a large amount of their core technical information to the Encyclopedia website as a punishment."

"Among those technical materials, the most valuable are the research results of Ether Technology in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics!"

“If you check out the companies that are participating in the event, you’ll find that many of them were founded after the [BitStorm] incident and quickly built robots from scratch.”

"Most of these are directly based on the 'open source' technology of EtherTech!"

As soon as Du Huaiyi said this, many technical teams on the scene avoided his gaze.

The four opponents who followed the referee to seek explanation also avoided the referee's sight guiltily.

But they were not the most embarrassed people at the scene.

——Ether Technology’s engineers are still on site!
Du Huaiyi's words immediately attracted the audience's attention.

The audience in the live broadcast room were frantically posting comments, wanting to see the expressions of the engineers from Ethereum Technology.

But now DreamCraft is the organizer, and Ether Technology is both a contestant and a partner. Of course, there is no reason to squeeze them out, so they were not given any screen time.

But there was nothing we could do about the attention of the audience.

Facing the gaze of thousands of eyes, the engineers of Ether Technology suddenly discovered:
There seems to be something wrong with my robot!

They were all surrounding the robot, which had not yet started, and were tapping away on their tablets. They were so busy that they barely even raised their heads...

Xu Meng took the initiative to step down and determined that Zhihui's team had not violated the rules, thus ending their embarrassment.

Of course, Xu Meng also gave the British robots that were beaten to death by their teammates one more chance.

After the remaining groups have finished playing, they can play solo with a player who has a bye to show their strength.

So the game continued.

The players entered the competition state again.

But the audience is still focusing on the breaking news revealed by Du Huaiyi——

"So more than one-third of the contestants copied Ether Technology?"

"Hurry up and say thank you to Ether Technology!"

"Thank you for nothing, thank Boss Xu first!"

"No wonder so many robots can't use guns! It turns out that the previous 'open source technology' didn't include the part about using guns!"

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! The world's technology is all plagiarized!"

……

While netizens were complaining, they were searching the Internet for old news about [BitStorm].

After a while, I found the news about the massive technology leak from Ether Technology, and the keywords [artificial intelligence] and [robots] were everywhere.

This once again proves that what Du Huaiyi said is true!

If the next contestant comes on stage and there is a robot with similar proportions but unable to lift a gun, he will immediately be pointed at by the audience.

In the live broadcast room, a group of people urged the contestant to call him daddy...

Compared to these companies that copied technology, some companies that would have been laughed at wildly -

The black cloth was lifted, revealing the contestant with nothing underneath, not even a single hair on his body.

There was only one robot model, and the contestant couldn't even move it.

The scolding I received was much less.

In this kind of survival-or-the-weak competition, a large number of PPT companies were exposed, and bosses of more than 20 companies received calls from investors on the spot. Not only were they scolded, but they were also notified to withdraw their investments.

What's more, some investors even received calls directly from the police station - they thought they were defrauded and chose to call the police immediately!

A live broadcast has thrown the global robotics industry into chaos!

At the same time, compared with these rookie companies, those powerful robot companies have also successfully stood out and gained global exposure!

Some small companies that were previously unknown, such as Dark Light, became famous instantly!

——Before, we couldn’t get any investment, but now investors call us one after another!
……

……

Before noon, all eight games were over.

Considering that the British robot was still under emergency repair, their match against the byes was postponed to the afternoon.

As for the opponent...

[Ji Le Ji] volunteered!

So that was settled.

The arrangements for the halftime break were also announced by Xu Meng——

"This morning's competition is over!"

“Thank you all for coming and watching.”

"At 4pm, there will be an impromptu competition: a robot showdown between the Melon Company and the Ji Le Ji Company!"

"After the duel, there is a small event: Today, a new character pool is released for "Frost and Snow Project", and I will perform a live card drawing!"

"By the way, take over the pumping business!"

"Players who want to draw Little Blind Girl Ke Ke, welcome to sign up under my post on pilipili - remember to prepare the liquid gold for drawing cards in advance, and write your needs in the remarks."

"In the end, I hid 60 holographic treasure chests in this holographic park. Some were one-time triggers, and some were refreshed daily."

"Inside the treasure chest are Sprawling City credits, cash exchange vouchers, a dream machine, a complete set of "Frost and Snow Project" figurines, a rare [Mind Cube], a mission to unlock the power of mind, a chance to participate in the Jinghu Sea Battle... and many other prizes."

"Friends who are interested can look for it!"

"But you have to wear tactile gloves to open the treasure chest, don't forget this."

"Finally, if all the treasure chests are found before the end of the Dragon Fighting Contest, I will immediately announce the next big plan of Dream Building!"

"If we still haven't found them all by the end, we'll have to wait for the next chance!"

“Finally, thank you all for coming and supporting us. See you this afternoon!”

“Have fun everyone!”

Before Xu Meng finished speaking, all the players in the arena immediately became agitated!
