In less than an hour, after the joint initiative of Russia and the European Union, the two powerful data torrents that had disappeared before reappeared, this time they were no longer attacking each other. The targets of their attacks turned out to be all the servers of the SoftAlliance, including the website of the SoftAlliance, as well as the dozens of servers used by the SoftAlliance for downloads and updates.

Liu Xiao received a call from the network administrator, so he hurriedly put down half of the analysis in his hand, got up and went to the computer room.

"How's it going?" asked Liu Xiao as he entered the door.

Shang Yue was already in the computer room at this time, and said: "The other party is just testing at present, the amount of data flood is not large, and it will not harm our service at all, the data torrent is mixed with some scanning and spying data, it seems that they want to do both of us." ”

"That's just their wishful thinking!" Liu Xiao smiled and walked to the server, "Notify the Haicheng network supervisor, just say that Haicheng is about to be hit by a very large data torrent, and tell them to be ready to deal with it!"

Shang Yue shrugged, "I just finished informing them." ”

"What do they say?" asked Liu Xiao.

"They just said they knew!" Shang Yue's tone was extremely flat, "but he didn't say how to deal with it!"

"Okay, just notify us, we can't manage any more things! Our top priority now is to get through the current hurdle, get through it, it's a smooth road, if you can't get through, then all our previous layouts will become meaningless!" Although Liu Xiao knew that this would happen and made all the preparations, he was still a little worried in his heart, according to his estimates, the attack on the soft alliance this time would be even greater than the attack on the entire Estonian country before, Liu Xiao is now under great pressure in his heart, this is a real game.

"The flood of the other party's data has disappeared!" Shang Yue saw that the firewall suddenly returned to calm, and informed Liu Xiao of the situation.

There was a wry smile on the corner of Liu Xiao's mouth, "It was just a pathfinder just now, and the next wave is the real killer move." After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he said to several other network pipes: "Check the link of all our equipment, and then turn the carrying capacity of the server to the maximum, the opponent's attack will be very fierce after a while, but it will not last too long, so you don't have to worry, keep a normal mind, and then act a little faster, you will definitely be able to survive!"

The network management gathered together, quickly dispatched the work, and then acted separately, and in less than ten minutes, everything was checked, everything was normal, just waiting for the other party's attack to come.

"Mr. Liu!" A network administrator walked up to Liu Xiao, pointed to a group of hosts in front of him and asked, "Mr. Liu, what did you do with these things last time, can you use them later?"

Liu Xiao smiled, "It's better not to use it!"

In front of the two of them, there are ten hosts, and the lights of the hosts are all on, indicating that they are all working normally at this time, but the way these ten hosts are connected is very strange, and it is completely different from the way we usually see computer interconnection. The network structure we usually see is like a big tree, each of our computers is like a small leaf of a branch, the leaf is connected to the small branch, the small branch is connected to the big branch, and finally all are connected to the thick trunk, which ensures the connection of the entire network, such a structure is beneficial, even if a computer goes wrong, it will not affect the communication of the entire network, a branch is cut down, and the whole tree cannot be shaken. And the ten hosts in front of him, but it is a ring network structure, all the hosts are linked into a closed ring, this is a common network structure, he has benefits, but the disadvantages are greater, as long as there is a computer error in this ring, the whole network is finished.

So the network administrator was very puzzled, I don't know what Liu Xiaofei is doing so hard to do this not very practical thing, he looked at the pile of hosts in front of him and pouted, "I don't need it, our firewall has helped Estonia withstand the attack of hackers, and now it is more than enough to deal with a few pawns?", the network manager smiled.

"Don't be careless!" Liu Xiao said loudly again, "The attack we have been attacked this time may be much more serious than that of Estonia, everyone cheers me up, as long as I get through this hurdle, we will all pay bonuses!"

Later, after Liu Xiao and personnel and financial coordination, the network management, business, and customer service were considered to have received bonuses, but the number was definitely not as much as software and hardware, and this belated bonus made everyone feel as if they were raised by their stepmother, and they felt very uncomfortable. Now it's okay, Liu Xiao has spoken, then it seems that the bonus is not running, and when I get the bonus this time, it will be the turn of our network management to straighten up and take a look, and who will dare to say that our network management is just eating and not doing things in the future.

Several network managers patted their chests, "Mr. Liu, don't worry, let's kill one by one, let's kill a pair, no matter how powerful he is, we also want him to be planted in front of the iron wall of our soft alliance!"

"Okay, please!" Liu Xiao said with a smile, then dragged two chairs over and handed one to Shang Yue, "Don't stand, sit down, we have to recharge now!", after speaking, he sat down first, closed his eyes and recuperated. Liu Xiao seemed to be speaking very easily, but in fact, it was the calm before the attack that made him panic, and he had to rely on this to hide his emotions.

"It's coming!" After about ten minutes, Shang Yue pushed Liu Xiao, and as soon as her voice fell, she heard the other network administrators in the room also start to scream.

Liu Xiao stood up and stepped forward quickly, "What's the situation?"

"The other party has probed out our capacity before, so the data sent this time is just the limit just now, but because we have increased the load again, the other party's attack has not caused any power, and the firewall has begun to block the source of the attack, and it is estimated that it will be screened in about a minute!"

Liu Xiao frowned, and then quickly inspected the computer room, and looked at them one by one, all the machines were normal, and there was no loss.

"The other party's data traffic is starting to increase!" warned the network administrator who was in charge of monitoring the traffic.

"It's still within the control of the firewall, and the emergency plan hasn't been activated!" the network management that is responsible for monitoring the status of the firewall also reported the situation.

"Keep increasing, keep increasing!" The network administrator monitoring the traffic was a little anxious, the speed of the data traffic increasing was too fast, completely beyond his expectations, "We have reached our limit!"

"The server is starting to slow down, and it will be difficult for users to access!" said a third webmaster, who is in charge of taking care of the server.

"Mr. Liu, turn on the emergency mechanism of the firewall!" At this time, the network administrator who was responsible for monitoring the status of the firewall was also anxious, and looked at Liu Xiao, "I'm afraid it's too late!"

Liu Xiao frowned slightly, and then raised his hand to stop, "No need, just let the protective wall support it like this, do a good job of data recording, take advantage of this opportunity, we just test what the maximum bearing capacity of the firewall is, this is a big gift from the opponent, don't accept it!", Liu Xiao has changed the settings of the firewall in advance, when he was in Estonia, he set up the firewall intelligent opening emergency plan, and this time he changed it to manual, unless the emergency plan is manually opened, otherwise the firewall can only be held hard.

Liu Xiao did this, firstly, he wanted to measure the maximum carrying capacity of the firewall, which is very important for future follow-up development, and secondly, he didn't want to open the emergency mechanism at all, because once the emergency mechanism was turned on, the firewall would temporarily terminate the data to the server, although it may only be a few minutes, but Liu Xiao was unwilling, he just wanted those attackers to take a good look and let them know: the network of the soft alliance is always connected, and the server of the soft alliance has never been paralyzed.

The network administrators had no choice but to stick to their positions and report the situation at any time. Shang Yue was also a little nervous at this time, and a handful of sweat broke out in his palms at this time, the strength of the other party's attack was too terrifying, this number, he had never thought of it before, if the attack data continued to increase like this, the soft alliance would be really mysterious this time.

"The server has reached the load limit, and the response is extremely slow, extremely sluggish!" The network administrator who was in charge of the server stood up directly and shouted towards Liu Xiao.

"The other party's data is still increasing, increasing!" On the contrary, the network management of the monitoring data was in the opposite situation, his whole body muscles were tense, and he sat there trembling all over, and the chair was creaking non-stop, which showed how nervous he was now!

"No, we have to start the emergency plan immediately, and our server will collapse if it's too late!" Shang Yue finally couldn't hold his breath, and for the first time he opened his mouth to suggest to Liu Xiao, after speaking, she stayed in front of the firewall, and just waited for Liu Xiao to nod, she was going to activate the emergency mechanism of the firewall!

"No way!" the webmaster who was in charge of the server almost jumped to his feet, and his voice was so tight that he could pull other people's hearts out of his throat: "The server is going to crash!

As soon as his words fell, the computer room suddenly fell silent, and the very ugly squeak and buzzing sound that the machine made when it reached the load limit just now was completely gone, and the entire machine room was so quiet that you could hear everyone's breathing.

Shang Yue's heart suddenly cooled, and she felt a burst of blackness in front of her eyes, because she knew that she had not activated the emergency plan of the firewall in time just now, so the moment the voice calmed down, she realized that this was a server crash, and if it collapsed, it would naturally be quiet.

Several other network administrators also maintained the posture of facing Liu Xiao just now, waiting for Liu Xiao's order and did not move, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, nor did they dare to check the real situation, they were afraid of seeing the facts, and they were even more afraid that the facts would disappoint them.

No one moved, and at this moment, everyone had a feeling of falling from heaven to hell.

"The other party's attack is still intensifying, but everything is normal on the server!" At this time, Liu Xiao's voice suddenly sounded, as if it came from the Western Elysium.

All the people were de-petrified in an instant, but all they could move were their eyes and expressions, and they all looked at Liu Xiao in surprise, only to see Liu Xiao standing in front of the ring network, his right hand on the button of a communication device, and looking at everyone with a smile on his face.

"Wow~" Everyone came back to their senses and hurriedly returned to their positions to see what was going on!

"The server is OK!" the webmaster who was in charge of the server was the first to cry.

"The other party's traffic is still increasing......" The voice was full of doubts, and it seemed that he didn't quite believe his eyes.

"The firewall didn't receive any data, it stopped!" This voice, in addition to doubts, there is also some disbelief, the firewall does not receive data, but the data is still increasing, what is going on.

Shang Yue finally understood a little at this time, she was so nervous just now that she forgot that Liu Xiao still had a trick, so she hurriedly circled around the hosts that formed a ring network, and then shouted excitedly at Liu Xiao: "Your experiment was successful?"

"It seems to have succeeded!" Liu Xiao nodded with a smile.

Several other network administrators were also puzzled, because they checked, the server and the outside world were connected, and the access was normal, but the flood data sent over, but they didn't know where it went, they all looked at Liu Xiao, hoping that Liu Xiao could solve their doubts.

Liu Xiao pointed to the host that surrounded the circle and said, "This is our company's new product, called Strategy Matrix!"

"Strategy matrix?" Several network managers are all stupid, I don't know what this thing is, the previous new product, everyone already thinks it's good enough, why is it just a few days, newer and more awesome products have come out again.

"It turns out that the performance of our new product is still good!" Liu Xiao smiled and patted the host in front of him, and with a palm down, it was a watermark, it seemed that he was also very nervous just now, and his heart was not so bottom-up, but fortunately it was successful now.

Everyone just gasped, it seems that the other party's attack can take the soft alliance no way, glanced at the screen, and said again: "The other party's data is still growing, and it seems that the growth rate has slowed down!"

"They are the end of the crossbow!" Liu Xiao smiled and circled around those hosts, only the lights of the four hosts were flashing wildly, and the other six looked very calm, proving that they did not have a lot of data processing and calculation, Liu Xiao smacked his lips and said, "Everyone is waiting to receive the bonus!"

As soon as the voice fell, I heard the network administrator shout again, "The data is gone!", and after speaking, he crackled a few times in front of the computer, "The other party's flood data is gone!"

"See what's going on?" Liu Xiao hurriedly asked.

The network manager crackled a few more times on the computer, and then straightened up, "It's the connection between the Haicheng network and the outside world that has been lost." Although the other party is attacking us, the data traffic they send is too large, which is also a test for the load of Haicheng's network, and now either Haicheng has cut off contact with the outside world, or Haicheng's communication equipment has collapsed!", the network administrator said his judgment.

Everyone in the computer room was immediately dumbfounded, since they had an impression, this kind of thing had never happened around them, and now that Estonia had just arrived, Haicheng was close behind.

"It seems that we are safe!" Liu Xiao laughed, "The other party will not attack again, but the enemy is about to come to the door!" Liu Xiao laughed after speaking, and said to Shang Yue: "You will go to the business department to inform them later, and let them increase the price of our products by three percent!"

"Plus?" Shang Yue's eyes were about to fall out, 300,000 US dollars was not low, and Liu Xiao actually had to increase the price.

"Forget it, I'll go with you!" Liu Xiao smiled, "It just so happened that I went to the finance department and notified them to pay bonuses!", after speaking, Liu Xiao walked towards the computer room with a smile, he was in an extremely happy mood now.

Shang Yue came back to his senses, hurriedly followed, and shouted: "You wait for me, I have something to ask you!", the two of them left the computer room one after the other, leaving a few network administrators trembling excitedly there, feeling in their hearts how to spend the bonus when they got it for a while!

At this time, Fang Guokun was also instructing Xiao Wu: "You go to Haicheng in person, you must arrange it! I estimate that all kinds of people will start to contact the Soft Alliance soon, and they must order the products of the Soft Alliance, and all the information on the origin of these people must be collected!"

"Yes!" Xiao Wuyi saluted, "Guaranteed to complete the task!"

"Okay, you go first, I'll contact the intelligence department later, and ask them to send someone over to assist you!" Fang Guokun returned the salute, "Remember, don't let Liu Xiao find out, let alone those who order!"
