The reason why Microsoft took such measures was actually out of anger and concern about face.
The world's largest software company, the software company with the most users in the world, and the software company with the strongest technical capabilities in the world.
The security of its most proud product was actually breached by an unknown small company in Xia State.
This matter is absolutely unacceptable to Microsoft.
Not only Microsoft has to accept it, but the entire American technology community cannot accept it at all.
After all, Xia's technological level lags behind that of the United States by several decades.
Microsoft's top secret, the underlying code of Windows 98, is already known to everyone. It's like taking off Gates's pants and standing naked in front of others.
Microsoft has assembled its most professional team of software engineers to conduct detailed research on the flaws of the deeply optimized Windows 98 system.
Microsoft's top executives are very aware that pirated systems have been repeatedly banned in Xia State, and they are willing to turn a blind eye in order to expand their influence.
However, for the deeply optimized Windows 98 system, we must do everything possible to limit its operation.
There are two methods of prohibition.
One is to put pressure on the relevant departments of Xia State to increase law enforcement and seize the company that deeply optimized the Windows 98 system.
However, the success rate of this method is very low, because the entire society of Xia State has defaulted to the existence of pirated systems. After all, in terms of the current income of Xia people, the cost of using genuine systems is still too high, which is not conducive to Xia State’s computers and software.
Industrial Development.
Another way is to use technical means to prohibit the operation of the deeply optimized Windows 98 system. To put it bluntly, it is to rely on hackers' methods.
This method is the most effective and has the lowest cost and price.
Xia Kingdom, Jiangzhou.
Zhou Linghua is instructing delivery workers in the factory to transport carbon crystal hard drives.
Some time ago, when carbon crystal hard drives were banned by the system, the sales of carbon crystal hard drives were severely hampered.
Zhou Linghua was very worried about the running costs of the factory. He suggested to Chen Xiao more than once, hoping that Chen Xiao could suspend the production of the product.
But even when Changtian Technology was extremely short of cash, Chen Xiao insisted that the factory continue to produce products.
Chen Xiao also said that the gap period for product sales is the golden period for product production. Producing more inventory now will greatly reduce future sales pressure.
When Chen Xiao said this before, Zhou Linghua didn't quite understand.
Now he understands.
In mid-July, when the entire PC market knew that carbon crystal hard drives could be liberated by installing the extremely optimized Windows 98 system, the sales of carbon crystal hard drives exploded!
During this period, Zhou Linghua's factory had a total inventory of nearly 50,000 carbon crystal hard drives.
It was all sold out in less than a week.
In addition to most of the high-end Shenchuan series PCs "snatched" by Wu Jun, a large part were also taken away by merchants such as Huaqiangbei Computer Hardware Wholesalers.
This kind of sales speed is quite scary.
Moreover, the mass production of carbon crystal hard drives is now established. It won’t be long before carbon crystal hard drives are available in the Xiaguo market.
It will definitely replace mechanical hard drives and become the most mainstream hard drive for all types of PCs.
Zhou Linghua once secretly chatted with Wang Xiang and asked how much profit the carbon crystal hard drive made?
Wang Xiang is not very clear about the specific profits of carbon crystal hard drives, but Wang Xiang knows the sales profits in his hands.
According to Wang Xiang, the profit of carbon crystal hard drives can reach about 66% of the sales price without calculating R&D costs.
Zhou Linghua made a rough calculation and found that the profit from this batch of carbon crystal hard drives sold in July could reach more than 16 million yuan.
What is this concept?
In 2001, the average annual salary per capita in Jiangzhou's civil service system was less than 20,000 yuan.
The entire Changtian Technology has less than 100 employees (including workers).
In other words, each person at Changtian Technology contributed RMB 160,000 in profit during this period.
It is much more than what many people earn in a year.
This is the charm of technology.
At Changtian Technology Headquarters, Chen Xiao was sitting in the office drinking tea and looking at the scorching sun outside the window.
After solving the problem of carbon crystal hard drive application, Chen Xiao felt a lot more relaxed.
But he knew very well that by doing so, he not only touched the interests of hard disk companies such as Seagate and Western Digital, but also touched the interests of Microsoft.
Hard drives and systems are markets involving tens of billions.
If you touch their interests, you will definitely face more severe retaliation.
However, Chen Xiao has been prepared for this. The rise of any technology company in Xia will be severely retaliated by the West.
It's just a matter of time.
There are only two ways to avoid this happening.
Either act in accordance with the West's own rules, or directly sell all the science and technology of Changtian Technology to Western technology companies at low prices.
If Chen Xiao follows these two methods, he will definitely become a guest of Western capitalists and politicians and be able to become "friends" with them.
But if you do this, you will completely lose your dignity.
At this time, Yang Fei, the head of the technical department, hurried over to report on the work.
"Mr. Chen! Our system has been attacked wildly by foreign servers!"
"There was a temporary problem just now. We fixed it immediately and released the corresponding patch."
Yang Fei was indeed a little worried. Their technical team was not a professional network security technician, so in the face of such a crazy attack, they were still a little overwhelmed.
Just now, Yang Fei's team immediately repaired the loopholes and blocked the opponent's attack entrance. It was not that their team was so powerful, but that Chen Xiao left many defensive methods.
In this era, there is already corresponding anti-virus software.
Currently the more popular ones are Kaspersky, DoAN, Norton, as well as domestic Rising, Jiangmin, Kingsoft, Jiaotong University Mingtai, etc.
However, in the face of attacks from the system developer Microsoft, any anti-virus software is useless.
Chen Xiao knew that this moment would come. He immediately put down the teacup in his hand, walked quickly to the technology department, and sat in front of the computer.
Looking at the attack method, it is completely aimed at deeply optimizing the Windows 98 system.
Chen Xiao's first reaction was that Microsoft must have done this.
Because only Microsoft has the underlying code of Windows 98, it knows what problems the system has.
And Microsoft must have seriously researched and deeply optimized the Windows 98 system.
Then check the server IP of the tool. It comes from all over the world, making people have no idea who the other party is.
Chen Xiao sat in front of the computer and began to guide Yang Fei and others to take the challenge.
What Chen Xiao has to do now is to completely block the opponent's attack entrance and ensure the security of the system.
At this time, technical staff at Yanjing Jinshan Headquarters are paying attention to this offensive and defensive battle.
