Tsinghua University officially announced that it will promote the course "Chinese Language" in its upcoming first-year computer science classes, eliminating the study of C programming. They also sincerely invited SMMH to become a visiting professor at Tsinghua University… This sounds like a joke, since SMMH is just an online figure, and no one knows his real identity. However, the dean of Tsinghua University's School of Information Science and Technology seriously told the media: The lack of a real identity is not a problem; he can teach entirely online. Because currently, no one else is as familiar with "Chinese Language" as he is, and even if he doesn't want to teach, they hope he can contact Tsinghua so that students can consult with him if they encounter any difficulties while learning "Chinese Language."
The most dramatic twist is that the five members of the "Black Sky Demon God" hacker group who had previously clashed with Chen Xu were all students from Tsinghua University. They also knew that ICE, who defeated them, used Chinese as his output language and had been confirmed to be SMMH's founding disciple.
After they told the dean of the School of Information Science and Technology at Tsinghua University about this, dozens of doctoral students and academicians who were researching Chinese language at the time immediately went crazy.
Because ICE's identity wasn't hard to find. It was easy to trace him back to Chen Xu from Hexie University... and it was indeed him. He had participated in several of SMMH's previous operations, especially the incident where "Martial Artist" defeated the Koreans. Almost all "Martial Artist" players knew about that.
Tsinghua University immediately split into two groups. One group contacted Chen Xu, expressing their hope that he could transfer to Tsinghua... Although transferring universities is generally rare, even uncommon, there are policies in place... The Ministry of Education's regulations on transfers clearly state that students may change their major or transfer to another university if they meet one of the following conditions during their studies:
(a) Students who have special talents can better utilize their talents by changing their major or transferring to another school.
If Chen Xu doesn't have a special skill, then who does?
On the other hand, Tsinghua University also contacted Hexie University, hoping they could release the person.
However, no one from Tsinghua University has spoken publicly about this matter... because what if other schools get envious?
So Chen Xu received an invitation from Tsinghua University quite unexpectedly, and the dean of the School of Information Science and Technology personally came to Hexie City.
I'm truly flattered!
This is a true academician!
However, Chen Xu did not want to go to Tsinghua University.
A year ago, before Chen Xu arrived at Hexie University and received this supercomputer, he would have been overjoyed to receive a letter of exemption from entrance exams from Tsinghua University. But now, almost a year into university, the curiosity and longing he once felt for this place he had so yearned for and looked forward to have faded.
To use a popular phrase: Where isn't there a place to just coast along?
Do you really think students at Tsinghua and Peking University never skip classes?
When we were young, our parents all wanted us to go to good universities. Why good universities? Because a good university represents a higher level of education, which is certainly true. Having a degree from Tsinghua or Peking University makes finding a job much easier than having one from an ordinary college or junior college.
But now all of this is meaningless to Chen Xu.
He doesn't need to rely on his academic qualifications to make a living now. No matter how prestigious Tsinghua University is, it doesn't attract Chen Xu at all... If he wanted to, he could study at any famous university in the world right now, but the problem is that Chen Xu has no interest in these things.
He brought out the book "Chinese Language," and the Red Hacker Alliance also established a special section on Chinese Language. Chen Xu promised Zhan Jing that he would visit it often.
The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you. Look at Zhang Wuji, he became a master by himself by studying the manual, so Chen Xu felt that doing these things was pointless.
And, most importantly, it's still that reason... there are people here he can't abandon!
Of course, rejecting Tsinghua University required some persuasion, which I won't go into detail about. But in the end, Chen Xu also got Tsinghua University to agree not to tell the media his true identity or that he was an SMMH student.
The "Chinese Language" incident caused a huge uproar in China, but it did not generate much international attention.
For foreigners, it's just a Chinese computer language, right? The impact on Chinese people, or rather, on those who use Chinese, is significant, but it only extends to Singapore at most… because the Chinese language supports both Simplified and Traditional characters. However, for those in Europe and America, they haven't realized the changes this will bring to China's computer industry.
But what happened next drove those countries in Europe and America where English is the primary language completely crazy.
Chapter 256 I am Chinese!
June 20th, just three days before SMMH releases the Chinese language version.
A lot happened in these three days. Experts from all walks of life discussed and experimented with the Chinese language. Because Chen Xu released the source code of the Chinese language editor, the Chinese language programming language can be easily learned and used.
Major websites have created dedicated Chinese language sections, but although these non-specialized websites have a large amount of traffic, their target user groups rarely visit them.
It's important to understand that while many people use computers—at least hundreds of millions in China—how many of these people actually learn and pursue programming?
After all, the Chinese language is not a game, but a subject of study. Therefore, for the vast majority of ordinary netizens, the impact of this event is not actually that great.
The real professionals, however, have all found their way to the dedicated Chinese language section of the Red Hacker Alliance forum through various channels. And as everyone knows, SMMH has a close relationship with the Red Hacker Alliance. Naturally, this has become a mecca for discussing and learning the Chinese language.
After all, if there's anything you don't understand, you can just ask and someone will quickly help you answer it.
Because there are so many programming experts in the Red Hacker Alliance, and they all share the same path—both Chinese and C are computer languages used to operate computers—they learned Chinese very quickly, except for some unfamiliar operating habits and techniques.
The hacker competition organized by the Red Hacker Alliance could not continue.
Given the significant impact of the previous hacking incident, it's necessary to maintain a low profile now. Anyway, the final five have already been decided, so the outcome is settled. As for vying for first place... frankly, SMMH's incredible performance that night truly spurred on a group of top hackers.
Ordinary hackers are no big deal; in their eyes, SMMH's power is like Mount Everest, and the strength of people like Blue Baby is something they could never reach in their entire lives. So, if that's the case, then looking at heaven from hell, whether it's the thirty-third or fifty-eighth heaven doesn't matter anymore.
However, hackers of the caliber of Blue Baby, Lion, and Argentine hacker queen Sigma are different.
In terms of strength, they are now standing at the top of the world.
Even if there are hackers in the world more powerful than them, those hackers are not invincible. Perhaps they have a slight lead in a certain technology. But that lead isn't significant, at least not like in a long-distance race. You can still see the opponent's back, and you still have the motivation to catch up.
But that SMMH.
Okay, even Sigma and her team wouldn't dare say they could casually treat the US military's network as their own backyard. But that SMMH could... Although he didn't actually do it, Sigma could tell from his actions that commanding a nuclear bomb to bomb the White House was just a matter of lifting a finger for him.
How do I calculate this?
I can't see the other person's back at all!
Okay, even if you catch a glimpse of them, you never know how many times they've already outpaced you before leisurely passing by...
So what's the point of competing for first place?
Does it make sense?
Let's just forget about it and leave it at that.
What's this talk about being the number one hacker? With that god around, there's no point in arguing.
When Blue Baby and her classmates were learning this Chinese language book, their computer skills allowed them to see things that ordinary people couldn't.
This is not just an ordinary computer programming language textbook, nor is it merely a textbook that makes it easier and faster for Chinese people to learn real computer technology. Many of its details, upon closer examination, could potentially have a revolutionary impact on the computer industry.
For example, there are ideas for new transmission control protocols/Internet protocols.
This protocol is the commonly used TCP/IP protocol, which is the foundation of modern networks. TCP/IP is known as the TCP/IP protocol suite, and all the IP addresses we use today are based on this network protocol.
However, hackers know that TCP/IP has significant vulnerabilities. Simply put, DDoS flood attacks exploit these vulnerabilities. This network protocol is no longer considered secure, and more importantly, with the rapid development of the computer industry, the number of IP addresses available for the TCP/IP protocol is likely to run out quickly.
Meanwhile, the EU proposed the next-generation IPv6 protocol, which is now pre-installed in major operating systems, Nokia mobile phones, and routers sold by Cisco.
However, the production of the new protocol is still a long way off, because it is an enormous project that will affect the entire world's computers.
However, the conception of a new network protocol in the Chinese language far surpasses that of IPv6, which is currently being planned for deployment. This is because the current IPv6 protocol is not perfect. Many world-renowned security experts have stated that IPv6 has not made the internet more secure and may even slow down internet speeds. Even more alarming is that not all computer users are computer experts. When the IP protocol is upgraded, IPv6 will not be compatible with the currently used IPv4, also known as TCP/IP. This would result in the existence of two vast, global networks that cannot communicate with each other.
The Chinese language mentioned a new network protocol named "IPX". Although it was only mentioned briefly, it caught the attention of the hackers... Could it be that SMMH already had a perfect tool to update the next generation of IP protocol?! After this news spread, the Chinese language, which was not valued by European and American countries, instantly fell into the hands of countless foreign hackers.
Intelligence organizations such as the CIA, MI5, and KGB hired Chinese hackers at high salaries to translate this language... because ordinary translators are completely useless; even if they can read, they don't understand computers.
The translation only contained fragments of information about "IPX." These organizations were profoundly shocked, and after the shock came panic!
If IPX is truly such a near-perfect protocol, then its widespread adoption is inevitable.
This next-generation network protocol is faster, more convenient, and more secure! You could even say that... once IPX becomes widespread, every hacker in the world will have to go back and get a professional education!
Because the tricks they used in TCP/IP are no longer applicable to the new generation of network protocols!
But is there a perfect shield in this world? Are there systems and programs without any loopholes?
Impossible!
Therefore, the only person who knows about the IPX vulnerability is its developer, SMMH!
In this way, starting from January 1, 1983, the knowledge accumulated by European and American hackers over the past two decades will become completely worthless!
The starting point for Chinese hackers will be far higher than that of hackers in Europe and America!
This is an incredibly terrible thing.
Once IPX is put into use, it can be guaranteed that the comparison of computer strength between China and major IT powers such as the United States, Japan, India, and Russia will be completely reversed!
Is this the power of one person? To single-handedly change the landscape of global computer technology!
This isn't about a person; it's about a technology! A technology that has reached its pinnacle!
This is what X has always feared most. Because once technology reaches a certain level, no one in the world can stop him.
It is clear that SMMH has mastered this technology that is ahead of its time.
So what if these software-rich countries in Europe and America don't use this technology? Then let the Chinese use it themselves!
However, IPX is compatible with the current TCP/IP protocol. This means that computer users using IPX do not form an independent network. If China adopts this technology uniformly, while other countries are still using the outdated TCP/IP protocol invented in the 1980s, the consequence will be that China's network will be much more secure, like a strong fortress, while Western computers will be nothing more than easily collapsed thatched huts to Chinese hackers…
This probably explains why SMMH is so powerful, because the platforms they use are on completely different levels... But this explanation is actually just a beautiful misunderstanding. Chen Xu is using a genuine ADSL network; it's just that Xiao Min's is more powerful...
Now we can only hope that the IPX mentioned in this Chinese language book is an April Fool's joke... If it were before, even just three days ago, upon seeing this so-called IPX, a group of cybersecurity experts would have stood up and arrogantly said, "Damn it, the Chinese are lying again. How could they possibly produce something like this when we haven't even developed it?"
But after the battle three days ago, SMMH, which is already recognized as the god of the internet in the world, is probably not too much to ask for something like this, right?
The Pentagon provided estimates of this new type of IPX in a report to President Bush.
The estimated result is that... once IPX is released to the market, its significance will be no less than that of the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement by the US military on July 27, 1955.
That was the first time Americans signed an armistice agreement without winning a war.
Once IPX is deployed, its impact on the entire Chinese network and computer industry will be enormous.
It's important to understand that under the current TCP/IP protocol, China's network operators are essentially treated like stepchildren, suffering immense injustice... The TCP/IP protocol is based on IPv4, which dates back to the 1970s, and China's network operations started much later than those in Europe and America. A country with tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, of internet users only has a mere nine million IP addresses.
It's not even as good as a university like MIT!
If a new agreement is established, and it's driven by China, then wow, network operators worldwide will have no choice but to bow to the Chinese and be exploited by them… Exploitation might be a strong word, but frankly, that is exploitation!
If China establishes its own independent domain name resolution root servers, then the internet will be completely free from US control, and the US might even retaliate against it. As for other technical issues, needless to say, the gap is enormous!
Because Chinese network equipment manufacturers were able to gain an early advantage, they were able to set standards!
Do you need to know what the word "standard" represents?
First-rate companies set standards. Second-rate companies build brands, and third-rate companies make products.
Once a standard is established, the entire world will be subject to China's control, just like now, where all router and computer hardware manufacturers must strictly adhere to the current standard. As a result, Chinese companies face scorn and hardship internationally. It's truly something outsiders cannot understand.
After the Pentagon's analysis report was submitted, it is said that George W. Bush overturned the table and almost burned his genitals with the scalding hot coffee on the table.
Is there any solution?
There are three possible answers: First, the US can either quickly develop a new protocol that surpasses or rivals IPX and deploy it rapidly. Second, they can find a pretext to start a war with China.
Third, imposing economic sanctions on China at all costs, but this might very well provoke SMMH to come up with some new ideas...
The second option is certainly impossible. China is not a pushover, and even the United States couldn't withstand a real war. Right now, everyone is primarily focused on stability and doesn't dare to start a war lightly. Who knows what the consequences would be if such a war were to break out?
A Chinese major general once said, "If we really had to fight the US, we would abandon all cities east of Xi'an. But we can guarantee that we would leave the North American continent completely barren!"
