CHAPTER 767: CHAPTER 252: GLOBAL BROADCAST BEGINS

For Qiao Yu, after posting a Weibo, his livestream marketing job was done.

But for the livestream team at Character Leap, the marketing for this global synchronized livestream event was just beginning.

Posting on Weibo was just the most basic operation. The next step was to distribute tasks across various traffic pools.

However, Character Leap already controlled one of Huaxia’s largest internet traffic pools.

Once the tasks were sent out, countless big and small bloggers naturally started to help with the promotion.

In fact, on Character Leap’s side, after reaching a preliminary cooperation intention with Zheng Xiweng, they had already done a wave of promotion.

This is also why Yanbei University’s official website was so lively today. In the era where traffic rules, promoters are everywhere.

So strictly speaking, this was already the second wave today.

While everyone else was busy, Qiao Yu wasn’t idle either. He was doing the final checks before the testing officially started with the engineers and researchers from Chenlong Super Cloud and the Computing Institute.

Mainly some preliminary deployment work. Including software runtime environment, network security, system disaster recovery and restoration plans, and so on...

After all, a global livestream was not only to stifle Microsoft’s arrogance but also to put themselves under the spotlight.

If any messy problems occurred on their side during the livestream, causing chaos, and they had to admit that their Quantum Simulation Calculation technology couldn’t pose any trouble to the Cryptocurrency Exchange system, it would be quite embarrassing.

After all, the other side had proven more than a decade ago through the Shor algorithm that Quantum Dominance is real. Can’t let those high-tech companies on the other side have a laugh at us.

The most important thing is not to let Microsoft have a laugh.

The fact proves that the engineers who stayed up all night were still very serious and could even be said that everyone was very excited.

The preparation work was so well done that at least Qiao Yu couldn’t find any faults.

Soon, the time finally reached ten o’clock. The livestream officially started.

The cameramen in Qiao Yu’s office were also completely ready. Including Qiao Yu’s computer, temporarily used to command this test action, was equipped with livestream software.

Although not everyone could understand the screens of those professional software on the computer. Without them, this livestream wouldn’t seem professional.

Of course, this type of livestream isn’t like a formal TV program, and Qiao Yu isn’t a formal guest, so it doesn’t need to be that professional.

So only after the livestream had officially started did Qiao Yu remember to ask, "By the way, since this is a global livestream, should I speak in Chinese or English?"

"Doesn’t matter. Regardless of the language you use, we’re prepared with simultaneous interpreters and a dedicated subtitle team."

"Professional!"

Qiao Yu gave a thumbs up and then said, "Hello, everyone, most of the time I’ll be explaining this test in Chinese, but there might be some parts I’ll use English.

However, please note that using English is not because Chinese cannot clearly explain the professional terms I want to express. It’s purely because there’s a need to accommodate the employers who invited us to do this Quantum Era transaction security test. After all, they’re the ones who paid.

So for some technical detail stuff, using English can let them understand more accurately just how big the gap is between them and us before officially entering the Quantum Era."

Then, Qiao Yu calmly, in front of the camera, casually operated the computer a bit.

Actually, it’s different from many people’s imagination; Qiao Yu didn’t need to operate too many things. We’re already in the AI era. The hardware might not be fully automated yet, but the software side on how to do it has long been configured.

Moreover, there’s naturally an engineer team monitoring the software’s operation in the background, and can handle any unexpected issues at any time according to the code manuals revised overnight.

So it can also be understood that Qiao Yu’s most important job in this livestream was to show off in front of the camera.

Fortunately, no one would have any opinions.

Not to mention that Zheng Xiweng had already publicized that high overtime pay could be obtained for this work, enough to motivate everyone.

The fact that almost all the theories and technical details for this action were provided by Qiao Yu alone was enough to make all the engineers involved in the action willingly play second fiddle.

These years, most engineers who seriously worked on computer research had a grudge in their hearts.

Not to mention having a spirit of rivalry against them. The main issue was that the other side suddenly provoked a tech war, making this unusable today, and that unusable tomorrow...

Who knows how many unjustified overtimes they had to clock in because of these things. The most annoying part is, in most cases, it’s free overtime.

Of course, you can’t blame the other side for free overtime. But just thinking about all the overtime that needn’t have been added in the first place is enough to make one feel seething anger.

In any case, this day, from any perspective, is a day to raise our spirits. Even if it means the workers on the other side have to work extra hours, it’s a good thing.

Although an eye for an eye is indeed undesirable, a double loss is still better than a single loss. So working overtime today without pay feels satisfying. If there’s pay, it feels even better.

...

"Now what you’re seeing on the screen is our data analysis of the transactions happening on the United States’ three major Cryptocurrency Exchange platforms through official channels. First, we need to collect information and analyze the security architecture of the exchanges...
