When the Internet enters the daily life of human beings, the world has changed!

In the early morning of April 1, 1996, the information center of Nantian Tobacco Group was on duty in the computer room.

In the duty room, the newly introduced IBM minicomputers and various server cabinets are arranged in an independent central computer room. The construction standard of the computer room is very high, the sound insulation effect is very good, and the staff on duty can have a safe and environmentally friendly working environment.

Qi Jingtao has no consciousness of being alone on the night shift at all. He didn't lie down in the rest room of the duty to sleep, didn't play games on the computer, didn't watch CDs, didn't listen to music...... Didn't do anything that the night shift staff should do in order to kill the boring slow and long nights.

With the sound of fast and rhythmic keyboard tapping, lines of program code appear on the screen, and Qi Jingtao's spiritual world is integrated into the working state of a qualified program dog, and he cannot extricate himself.

He was carefully writing a new management software. It is not doing private work, nor is it completing the development task assigned by the leader, it is an internal management software development task that he took the initiative to apply.

As a college student from a rural area who has only been working for less than two years, he must carve out his own independent business as soon as possible, rather than continue to play the role of someone else's assistant. It is necessary to make real achievements in the production function outside of the department as soon as possible, which is the key to whether he can occupy an independent and independent place in the newly established department of the information management center.

With the rise of the country's informatization tide, computer equipment has begun to enter enterprises and institutions on a large scale. Many grassroots leaders are keeping up with the development needs of the times, and everyone must keep up with the national strategy of information development.

In 1996, although China's installed computer capacity reached more than 3 million units, the society also put forward a new standard for talents in the 21 st century -- three new standards for talents: knowing foreign languages, being able to use computers for work, and being able to drive cars.

However, for most Chinese people, computers are still a new thing that they have never heard of. For many enterprises and institutions, the use of computers is only in word processing. There are all kinds of computer training courses in the society, and the main training materials and contents are just the popular WPS and Wubi fonts, and there is a lack of practical value in the use of software.

It is easy to allocate funds for the purchase of computer equipment, and it is not a big deal to allocate a few staffing and set up a computer department. However, however, how to give full play to the role of computers and truly enter the threshold of practical application of information technology is not something that leaders can say. In this era, the vast majority of leaders still have a certain sense of reverence for computers, a product of science and technology.

In recent years, many grassroots leaders, although they have not mentioned the use of information technology in their annual work reports, have contributed to their performance, and those who are genius can even list the percentage of the contribution rate. In fact, what is the use of computers? The leaders are at a loss. In the absence of a direction from higher-ups, wise leaders had no choice but to delegate authority and let professionals charge into battle to act as pathfinders and pioneers.

Of course, people who are good at leadership will not let their rights lose control, and there are many magic weapons in the hands of leaders - instructions, representatives, general directions, as well as various plans, analyses, and reports that are indispensable for professionals to do things in advance, and the leaders have made decisions, and the final main achievements are of course the leaders.

It can be said that the development path of informatization of Chinese enterprises in the 90s of the 20 th century was an era of crossing the river by feeling the stones, and an era of demons dancing wildly. Except for a few industries that organize the development of industry application software from top to bottom, other enterprises and institutions are developing freely.

Being a programmer in an enterprise is a laborious and laborious job. Programmers have to find out for themselves which businesses can be computerized. After discovering it, you have to propose solutions, apply for projects, persuade leaders, introduce or develop corresponding application software, promote and use it, and train business personnel...... In the final analysis, it is to prove for yourself whether you are qualified to mix this bowl of rice and eat, as for whether the rice is delicious or not, then you will know yourself.

Qi Jingtao is very satisfied with his current work and life, working hard is not a matter for him at all, he is not a young master scholar, he has long been accustomed to helping his family do farm work since he was a child. Today's job, decent, high-paying, engaged in their own university professional work, all have been applied to what they have learned, and they are not satisfied?

He was the son of a standard peasant, three generations old, and in this branch of their family, there was not a single man who could leave his ancestral land and do the promising job of repairing the earth. Of course, his family has been passed down for three generations, as long as any generation of men goes out of the ancestral land, this branch of his family will be able to leave the small dam wrapped in green mountains.

Qi Jingtao was able to learn and succeed and walked out of his ancestral land, thanks to his third aunt. His third aunt was the first generation of college students in 1978, during the resumption of the college entrance examination, and became a teacher in the town's middle school after graduating from the teacher college. It was his third aunt who stepped up his discipline in time that he had the opportunity to rush all the way to college and become the only college student among his 53 classmates in primary school. The reality is so cruel, at that time, rural children relied on reading to run to a new life, which was as difficult and rare as a carp jumping over the dragon gate.

When Qi Jingtao graduated from university in 1994, he was very fortunate to catch up with the initial wave of national informatization development. Colleges and universities, enterprises, and institutions are rushing to bring in computer professionals.

It's really so-called - it's better to rush early, than to catch up with it. All of a sudden, there are so many good jobs that you don't need to ask for someone to get them. Qi Jingtao, who was born in the countryside, almost lost himself happily, twisted and pinched, and then seemed to love his hometown, and took the initiative to propose to the school - not to stay in the provincial city to work, but to return to his hometown to participate in the construction. When he chose to follow his father to carry water and grow flue-cured tobacco since he was a child, he yearned for it infinitely and could not reach it, located in his hometown, China's largest tobacco company, Nantian Tobacco Group.

As soon as he joined Nantian Tobacco Group, he was assigned to the newly established group information center and became one of the founding fathers of a new department. Everything is new, everything is starting from scratch, and for a newcomer working in a large state-owned enterprise, there are really many opportunities, but they are not available.

Tobacco companies were originally profiteering enterprises, and Nantian Tobacco Group was synonymous with profiteering under the leadership of China's well-known entrepreneur at that time, the Chinese Tobacco King. Although the level of information application of Nantian Tobacco Group at that time was still in its infancy, it was absolutely at the leading level in the country in terms of hardware equipment construction.

Qi Jingtao's central computer room on duty has just been completed in early 1996, and at present, it has not been officially delivered, and is in the trial operation period, and it is necessary to arrange system management personnel to be on duty around the clock to observe the operation status. Qi Jingtao currently has no independent application software maintenance tasks, there is no need to deal with the company's daily business, and he has participated in the construction of the computer room, so he naturally becomes the best candidate for the night shift in the computer room.

"Be ......!"

The melodious chiming clock always looks crisper and more distant in the middle of the night.

Qi Jingtao looked up at the large clock on the wall, one o'clock in the morning on April 1, 1996. Outside the window, there was a dull roar of machines in the production workshop, and the armed police squadron in the side building also sounded the rough shift change command of the shift leader on duty as always.

"These GIs are very punctual! It's time for my patrol!"

Qi Jingtao muttered softly, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes, stretched his waist, habitually twisted his neck, and drank the tea that had turned into cold water. As soon as you push the table, sit back in the swivel chair and slide to the other monitor at the back of the side and pull out the keyboard. Taking a deep breath, he smelled the faint, ethereal, spice-smelling smoke in the air, and skillfully knocked out the thirty-nine-digit system host administrator password with his fingers, and began to check the system operation log,...... Well, everything works fine.

After checking the system logs, Qi Jingtao picked up the work card, got up and walked out of the duty computer room, and went to the main engine room for regular routine inspections. Punching in and entering the host room on the newly installed access control, the sound of air conditioning and the low honking of the host immediately filled Qi Jingtao's ears. Sequentially approach a group of cabinets, drag out the keyboard and enter the administrator's password for routine inspection.

"Normal. ”

"Normal. ”

"Normal. ”

"What the hell ......., what's going on?"

After a terrifying roar, Qi Jingtao felt that the whole person was not good, and in the display screen of the IBM minicomputer host, which had never only displayed data codes, the data stream displayed suddenly swiped the screen as quickly as a flood. It's not normal, it's not normal, is it a virus outbreak? Or is it a hacker?

Strictly speaking, Qi Jingtao is just an ordinary programmer, and it's okay for him to deal with regular technical problems, hackers, I've heard of it, but to him it's just a legend. Even if there is a computer virus outbreak, he and his current team are just using off-the-shelf anti-virus software to carry out relatively professional anti-virus processing.

The data stream on the screen began to flow rapidly from the bottom up, and soon, before Qi Jingtao could make the next move, the data stream twisted and dragged out an image. Hell, there is actually someone on the screen, a middle-aged man dressed in a dark gray casual suit, wearing black wide-rimmed myopic glasses, a little decadent, bald, and chubby, which is clearly displayed on the monitoring screen of the network host.

It's normal for someone to animate on the host screen, blockbuster movies can be played, and there are images in real-time monitoring, which is nothing remarkable. However, in the middle of the night, in a large empty computer room, on the host screen where images should not appear, a figure suddenly appeared, and that guy actually thought he was very friendly and smiled at Qi Jingtao.

"Ahh......h
