Chapter 157: The Taoyuan Company in Crisis
As for the incident of being hacked and causing deaths during the global live broadcast, Taoyuan Company is not just in a public relations crisis, but also to comprehensively review the security risks brought by the Taoyuan system, after all, this advanced technology has brought people the highest comfort experience and the danger of death.
So in the end, the issue discussed by everyone shifted from the incident itself to the potential safety hazards of the Taoyuan system.
Humans naturally have a fear of what they don't know.
Many forces around the world have openly called out the Taoyuan system, hoping to freeze the product and project forever, but in the end it was magically resisted by the upper echelons of Taoyuan Company. The Taoyuan system will be tested as usual, but it will end two months earlier than originally planned, which means that the 100,000-person project will be completed at the end of October.
There's also the price of the game world, which looks like the most vulnerable to hacking attacks right now... So the upper echelons decided to suspend the first holographic e-sports indefinitely.
"What! I can't agree with that! Finally, the game has come to an end, and if you say stop, stop it? Isn't it true that everyone has been settled so that the Taoyuan system can continue to be tested? ”
Of course, Mr. S, who directly manages the Taoyuan system, naturally disagreed with this decision, and openly slapped the table at the board of directors and shouted so loudly.
"Mr. Li, as the direct manager of the operation of the Taoyuan system, I admit that you have done a good job in other aspects, but it is also your dereliction of duty to let hackers hack into the system at will several times, and caused harm to the lives of the testers, and it is also your dereliction of duty, and it is already a very friendly decision to just suspend instead of directly canceling it, please respect the board of directors."
The chairman looked at Mr. S and said.
"And I don't know why you value this competition so much, it's just an additive added for the heat."
Another member of the board of directors echoed the chairman's words.
"This is the best window to prove that the game world of the Taoyuan system is ahead of traditional video games in all aspects!" Mr. S said, staring at the board member.
"What!" Although the members who were staring at wanted to refute, they couldn't find any good reason for a while.
"Okay, I admit it's my fault, so as long as I can catch those invading hackers, can I lift the suspension of the competition?" Mr. S calmed down and then said to the chairman in a relatively gentle tone.
"Well, considering the fact that the entire test is going to end early, it will take a little time for the remaining tournaments to be completed, and if you can catch them this month, you can consider reopening the esports tournament." So said the chairman.
The members of the board of directors also thought the proposal was a good one, and they all nodded in agreement.
"If I can restart, I'll go straight to the final... I will designate the finalists directly based on the current standings. "Mr. S really has only one game left in mind.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can catch the hacker, you're still solely responsible for the content of the game." The chairman said as he nodded.
"That's good, then forgive me for being out of company now, hurry up and catch the hacker every minute and second." After speaking, Mr. S got up with Secretary Wang, who was sitting next to him, and then he didn't leave the conference room.
Such a rash departure is naturally disrespectful to the members of the board of directors, but although Mr. S is only the general manager of operations, he is also one of the core personnel of Taoyuan system development, and everyone present, including the chairman, does not dare to offend him easily.
Therefore, everyone only dared to whisper.
"I'll leave it to you, Steve...", the chairman still pinned his hopes on Mr. S.
"Xiao Wang, you immediately step up your contact with the police and use the official position to put pressure on them."
As soon as Mr. S left the conference room, he began planning the arrest.
"Yes, but the police still have to arrest people based on the clues we have provided." Secretary Wang directly told the truth.
"That's true... Now we have limited clues, and every time they unknowingly do something..."Mr. S grumbled and thought about it.
"By the way, what if we take the initiative this time?" Mr. S seemed to think of something, and suddenly smiled evilly and said so.
"Take the initiative? What should we do? Secretary Wang asked Mr. S with some incomprehension.
"Trap, that guy didn't succeed this time, he must be angry, especially those teenagers, who don't seem to realize that the hacker has formed a bond with them." Mr. S continued to laugh.
"Ah, how do you know that?" But Secretary Wang was more and more confused the more he talked.
At this moment, they had walked back to the general manager's office, and Secretary Wang closed the door.
"Data analysis... The data tells me that the target of this hack is clear. "What Mr. S said is becoming more and more mysterious.
……
As for the testers, Chen Xingying and the others only received the announcement that the test ended two months ahead of schedule and that the competition activities had been postponed indefinitely.
"Ah, it seems that this incident really had a big impact." Xiaopeng took the lead in saying.
At this moment, they all gathered in Wall's personal training room.
"Indefinite extension... However, the test in Taoyuan ended two months early, which is equivalent to announcing the cancellation of the competition. Xiaoyu said thoughtfully.
"Although I thought about this earlier, I still had a glimmer of hope in my heart, but now it seems that the last hope is gone." Chen Xingying seemed very regretful.
This is for sure, anyone who has the first points will feel regretful, not to mention that Chen Xingying is looking forward to the content of the next game. Every previous competition activity was undoubtedly a Taoyuan system flexing its muscles, showing itself everywhere. Now it's likely to end up like stopping the game. The remaining two months would be boring if they were set in stone.
"There's no way, safety first. It is understandable that it has really stopped, and it is a miracle that it can continue to test under the pressure of public opinion. At this point, Wall walked in, surprisingly followed by Jack.
"Oh, rare guest, I'm going to see you." Xiao Chu complained without hesitation when he saw Jack walking in.
"What? This is what our club has made for Wall, so it makes sense for me to be here than you. Jack replied angrily.
"Roar, could it be that through this incident, I realized that my level was not enough, so I finally planned to come here to train? It's too late, after all, the game is gone. Xiao Chu deliberately mocked.
