The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

Some people were genuinely guessing, while others were just talking nonsense. For example, Xiao Zhou's good friend said a bunch of outrageous things and successfully made Xiao Zhou roll his eyes, expressing strong contempt.

Just as everyone was at a loss and lost in thought, a calm and deep voice suddenly interrupted and dropped a bombshell: "This company is the predecessor of the Neon Country Military Communications Research Institute. To be more precise, it is its outer packaging."

Xiao Zhou and the others were so shocked that they were speechless. Their eyes widened, their mouths opened, and their faces were filled with disbelief. A dozen people, including Xiao Zhou, were once again stunned and speechless. The surprise in their hearts could not be described in words.

If Xiao Zhou's previous thoughts were like a sudden bolt of lightning that instantly awakened everyone, then Director Wang's words were like a thunder that followed immediately, completely shocking everyone's thinking and causing their thoughts to collapse instantly.

Director Wang always maintains this style. Most of the time, he does not rush to interrupt the discussion, but chooses to listen quietly. This is not because he lacks insights or is too lazy to speak. More often, he wants to observe the discussion process to gain a deeper understanding of everyone's thinking. Even if he finds mistakes in the discussion, he will not interrupt easily, but point out a few problems in the final summary.

His seemingly casual approach actually stimulates everyone's thinking, intentionally or unintentionally, and cultivates everyone's ability to think independently and analyze problems.

If Director Wang always gives direct answers at critical moments, then everyone may develop a sense of dependence, thinking that since they have their strengths, they don't have to worry about encountering difficult problems.

Especially when facing difficulties, this mentality may make everyone feel that it doesn’t matter even if they can’t think of a solution, because Director Wang will definitely know the answer.

However, in fact, Director Wang does have rich experience and knowledge, and he often knows the answer. But he deliberately did not directly participate in the discussion because he was worried that everyone would form lazy thinking, which would be extremely detrimental to everyone's growth and development in the long run.

As he himself said, choosing to lead this group of young people to accomplish such an important task is both an adventure and a training and test for them.

Fortunately, this group of young people performed very well, even beyond his expectations.

Therefore, when everyone was discussing the specific situation of the company, Director Wang did not rush to interrupt, but waited patiently. In his mind, the predecessor of the Neon Country Military Communications Research Institute had quietly emerged.

All of this stems from his study abroad experience thirty years ago. At that time, he went to Japan to study for a short time and came into contact with that company by chance.

At that time, Neon's communication network was still in its infancy, and everything was still being explored. The boss of that company was just an ordinary businessman. However, later the company was secretly acquired by the government and became the predecessor of the Military Communications Research Institute.

If Xiao Zhou hadn't mentioned this forgotten memory by chance, Director Wang might not have been able to remember it for a while.

Today, this once inconspicuous small company has become the focus of everyone's attention.

Xiao Zhou and others looked at Director Wang with almost worshipful eyes, and his image was once again enhanced in everyone's mind.

Xiao Li and Xiao Zhou's findings also amazed everyone. Although their conclusions were based on certain analyses, they were not difficult to understand.

In fact, as long as everyone thinks in that direction, they may come to the same conclusion. However, every time Director Wang speaks, it is like a ray of light that instantly illuminates the way forward when everyone is in trouble.

This ability is not something that ordinary people can achieve through hard work. It requires years of knowledge accumulation, rich experience and unique experience. Director Wang's thinking is always so profound that it is hard to fathom. No one knows how far he has thought of it and whether he has solved the final puzzle.

Even if he claimed that he already knew the final key, no one would be surprised, because they believed from the bottom of their hearts that Director Wang really had this ability, and it seemed that nothing could stump him.

"Director, how do you know that this seemingly ordinary company is actually the predecessor of Neon Country's Military Communications Research Institute? This should be their confidential information, right?" Someone couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yeah, we searched the Internet for so long but didn't find any useful information. This company looks like a small company that doesn't produce any products. If you hadn't said it, it would have been hard for us to connect it with Neon Country's communications." Another person echoed.

"I'm afraid even the people in Japan don't know this secret, let alone us. It would be strange if this information could be easily found." Someone else added.

"This time it's all thanks to Xiao Zhou. If he hadn't discovered those papers, we might not have been able to find clues so quickly. To be honest, we really couldn't think of these things in a short time." Everyone expressed their agreement.

Looking at the excited and curious expressions of the crowd, Director Wang smiled slightly and did not keep them in suspense. He knew that if he did not explain this matter clearly, everyone would only become more curious. In fact, this was not something magical. If he could directly connect this company through the Neon Military Communications Research Institute before Xiao Zhou found out, that would be a real benefit.

However, thirty years had passed after all, and he had only had a brief contact with it at that time. If Xiao Zhou's discovery had not triggered his memory, he would not have been able to directly connect this company with the Japanese Military Communications Research Institute. Of course, if he had not had that study abroad experience and had not accidentally learned some information from a friend of a friend, he would not have known this secret.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Director Wang slowly spoke and simply recounted his experience. There was no thrilling story, nor was there any thought-provoking truth, it was just a coincidence. "In fact, things are not as complicated as you think. Thirty years ago, when I went to Japan for a study tour, I was invited by a friend of a friend and had the honor of visiting that company." Director Wang slowly said.

"At that time, Japan's communication technology was still in its infancy, and there were not many confidentiality measures. During a dinner table, the boss of that company accidentally revealed their future development direction."

"I remember clearly that he said the company would be acquired by the government soon and would specialize in communications research. So when I saw the name of the company, the registration time and the cost, it suddenly reminded me of this."

"Of course, if Xiao Zhou hadn't found these papers through information on Twitter, I wouldn't have thought of this. Xiao Zhou, you did a great job this time." Director Wang did not forget to praise Xiao Zhou at the end. He didn't want to steal the limelight. The conclusion that this company was the predecessor of the Japanese Military Communications Research Institute was actually nothing magical.

On the contrary, Xiao Zhou's performance in this mission was indeed outstanding and worthy of praise. Xiao Zhou scratched his head a little embarrassedly after listening to Director Wang's words. He was not 100% sure that his discovery was correct, but he just felt that there was a possibility. If he was wrong, it would be embarrassing. Thinking of this, he restrained his previous smugness and became calm.

"It's actually nothing. Let's figure out the password first. This discovery may not be correct, so let's give it a try first!" Xiao Zhou said seriously.

"Yes, we can't keep hesitating. No matter what, we have to take the first step." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone put their thoughts aside and began to study the paper attentively.

In addition to the key paper, they also read other papers carefully. This work alone took several hours. The focus was on the paper on encryption. This paper was about two thousand words and described the encryption process and method in detail.

After removing some relatively simple codes, they found a brief description of a mechanical encryption method at the end of the paper. This encryption method consists of two parts: a personal key and a public key. The public key is fixed and unchanging, but the "public" here does not mean that it is completely open to the whole society and has no privacy, but that it is fixed and unchanging within the Japanese army.

As for the personal key, it changes regularly and is randomly generated by the machine. The personal key and the public key together form the final key. This encryption method undoubtedly greatly increases the difficulty for them to crack the key. Even if they know the encryption method, they cannot directly determine the final password.

"Alas, this won't work! What's the point of knowing the encryption method? We still don't know what the personal key and public key are..." Someone couldn't help but sigh.

"This encryption method is really too abnormal! Even if we decipher the public key, we cannot determine the personal key. In general, we still don't know what the final key is." Another person also complained.

"Not only that, we now don't even know the changing pattern of personal keys. When it changes and what is the basis of the change, we know nothing about these!" someone else added.

"If the public key remains unchanged, perhaps someone in our institute knows it? Director Wang, or team leaders from other departments, who often deal with high-level tasks, might know the public key?" Someone suddenly came up with an idea.

However, this idea seemed a bit far-fetched. The person who said it also felt that it was a bit outrageous. They didn't know if anyone in the institute knew the public key, and they had never heard anyone mention it. Moreover, they had never participated in such a high-level mission before, and knew nothing about the specific information of Japan.

But, maybe someone really knows? Who could that person be? Everyone turned their attention to Director Wang.

In the institute, no one had a clear idea of ​​who knew the public key of the Japanese army. But if we were to find the person who was most likely to know, Director Wang would definitely be the first choice. After all, if he didn't know, then the possibility of others knowing was even smaller.

Director Wang is not only the only person who knows all the information about the personnel in the institute, but also has an extraordinary familiarity with various archival materials. Even if he does not directly grasp a specific information, he can definitely accurately point out who has studied the relevant field. Therefore, when the topic turned to public keys, he naturally became the backbone of everyone.

"Speaking of public keys," Director Wang pondered for a moment, a glimmer of wisdom in his eyes, "There may be relevant records in a mission file from a few years ago. Although that was not a mission directly targeting keys, it is very likely that the old keys are still used in the same system. We might as well start with that file and look for it."

After that, he turned around and strode towards the archives room. Everyone watched him leave from behind, secretly admiring: Director Wang's efficiency is really amazing. In less than ten minutes, he walked out calmly with a folder in his hand.

This speed amazed everyone present. You know, it was a document from a few years ago. It was not easy to find it in such a short time. Of course, this was also due to the orderly organization of the archives room. Each area was clearly divided. In addition, Director Wang knew the place very well, so it was reasonable that he could find it so quickly.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so efficient. Even if the search system is perfect, if you are not familiar with the archives, it will definitely take some effort. What's more, the archives are huge, and newcomers often have a headache and often get lost. If outsiders come to visit, without a dedicated guide, getting lost is almost certain.

Director Wang was able to go back and forth within ten minutes, which showed that he went straight to the target without any hesitation after entering the door. This familiarity with the files made Xiao Zhou and others feel ashamed. They knew that if it were them, it would take at least half an hour to get it done.

Director Wang opened the folder, and everyone gathered around. They saw that it did contain the public key for Neon Country's communications. It was a short string of characters, consisting of several common languages ​​and special symbols at the end. In this way, the problem of the public key was solved, much faster than everyone expected. Director Wang's contribution was self-evident.

Originally, someone just mentioned a possibility, but Director Wang acted quickly and found the key evidence in less than ten minutes. If it weren't for him, Xiao Zhou and his team would probably have difficulty finding the file before tomorrow. (End of this chapter)
