The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 934 Network Virus
On the sea.

Maldives' Type 022 missile boats and Type 022A torpedo boats are patrolling.

The Maldives has made huge investments in military because it had suffered great threats before. At that time, it not only had Indian naval, air and paratrooper forces, but also had to face pressure from the United States.

At that time, the United States also exerted influence on the Maldives through the bomber base stationed on the British Diego Garcia Island, the Central Command in the Middle East, the Fifth Fleet and the Changi Naval Base in Singapore.

If the United States had not been too busy with other matters at that time, it would have undoubtedly started a war in the Maldives, and the mercenaries would have found it extremely difficult to retain the fruits of victory.

Sometimes it's like this, you have to seize the opportunity, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve.

The mercenaries are trying to fish in troubled waters.

As long as the Indian army is strong, or the US military is determined to intervene, the mercenaries will be defeated.

However, the Indian army was weak and was severely hit by mercenaries, suffering heavy losses. The US military had no time to spare and could not deploy troops to fight in the Maldives.

In the end, I had no choice but to accept it.

In the air, fighter jets are cruising, ensuring the safety of the sea area.

The Maldives is strictly guarding against refugees from Sri Lanka, and Sri Lanka is also mainly entering the South Asian subcontinent. After all, the Palk Strait is very narrow, with the narrowest point being only 67 kilometers. The average water depth is about 2 to 3 meters, and the deepest is only 9 meters. It is easy to escape from the Palk Strait and enter the South Asian subcontinent.

Because of the war, some of the refugees in Sri Lanka became pirates and plundered passing merchant ships.

The civil war in Sri Lanka did not cause any waves in the international community. No media was willing to waste time reporting on the civil war in Sri Lanka. After all, it is a marginal country located in a marginal area, and it is too difficult to attract attention.

What the media is keen on reporting now is computer viruses.

With the development and growth of the international Internet, network viruses finally appeared.

This can be said to be the fourth stage in the development of computer viruses. In this stage, a large number of undead viruses such as email viruses and macro viruses that rely on the Internet to spread have emerged. The viruses spread quickly, are highly concealed, and are highly destructive.

In just half a year, two waves of Internet viruses have emerged.

As a world-renowned cybersecurity technology company, Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen's Dandelion Company has ushered in a new wave of development opportunities. Their security butler has carried out security upgrades to defend against most network viruses, and also provided personal and corporate computer virus detection and elimination services. Performance has seen explosive growth and profitability has been greatly enhanced.

In the computer and Internet security market, Dandelion holds 80% of the market share, which can almost be said to be a monopoly.

This time, the United States is in the hardest hit area of ​​​​the Internet virus and has suffered huge losses. Under such circumstances, the numerous obstacles set up by the Americans cannot stop Dandelion Company at all.

Nowadays, almost every computer in the world has Dandelion Security Guard installed to check for viruses regularly to ensure the safety of their computers. Users have to become members to ensure that their computers are protected from virus threats.

The growth of Dandelion's shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is also extremely impressive. Its market value has now reached HK$2500 billion. Liu Ziyu's net worth has reached HK$1450 billion, and Chen Nianzhen's net worth has reached HK$725 billion.

With a net worth of HK$1450 billion, Liu Ziyu is the richest woman in China and the world; with a net worth of HK$725 billion, Chen Nien-jen is the second richest woman in China and the world. The two are both still single.

Liu Ziyu and Chen Nien-jen appeared on Time magazine together for the second time. As cover characters, they both have great fame in the world.

Moreover, the two of them won the Turing Award for their outstanding contributions to computer and Internet security. Countless people admire them and their stories are widely circulated around the world.

At this time, Liu Ziyu and Chen Nian were really in Wuxian Lake.

On the shore of Wuxian Lake, there is a piece of land that is under construction.

Since the listing, the two began to plan the headquarters of Dandelion. After repeated consideration, they decided not to place the headquarters building in Dianchi Lake, but in Fuxian Lake.

Fuxian Lake is called "Ten Thousand Acres of Glazed Glass" by the ancients because of its clear and translucent water. It is the largest deep-water freshwater lake in China and the largest lake at the source of the Pearl River. It belongs to the Nanpanjiang River system and is located between Chengjiang, Jiangchuan and Huaning counties in YX City, more than 70 kilometers away from the urban area of ​​Kunming. Fuxian Lake is a north-south fault karst lake, shaped like an inverted gourd, with large ends and a small middle. It is wide and deep in the north, narrow and shallow in the south, and has a throat-like shape in the middle.

The entire Fuxian Lake is 1722.5 meters above sea level, with a lake area of ​​216.6 square kilometers and a lake volume of 206.2 billion cubic meters. The average depth of the lake is 95.2 meters, and the deepest point is 158.9 meters, which is equivalent to the water volume of 12 Dianchi Lakes, 6 times the water volume of Erhai Lake, and 4.5 times that of Taihu Lake. It accounts for 72.8% of the total water storage capacity of the nine plateau lakes in Yunnan Province and 9.16% of the water storage capacity of the country's freshwater lakes.

After the two came here, they fell in love with this place and decided to build the Dandelion headquarters here.

In order to attract Dandelion Company, the local government transferred 1000 acres of land to it.

The two conducted a global bidding for the headquarters of Dandelion Company and finally chose a dandelion-shaped plan. The entire headquarters is in the shape of a dandelion, with a total of 4 floors. The planning and design will be able to accommodate 13000 employees, including 26 square meters of office area, R&D headquarters, a 1000-meter auditorium, and 2.8 square meters of research rooms.

Half a year ago, the construction of Dandelion headquarters began with a total investment budget of 100 billion yuan.

This place is connected by the Kunming Ring Expressway and is only about 16 kilometers away from the Dianchi Lake area.

In addition to the Dandelion headquarters, there is a high-end sanatorium and eight research institutes established by Panshan Group.

This area is designated as a national first-class drinking water source and is also one of the natural lakes with the best water quality in China. The area 2 kilometers away from Fuxian Lake is included in the red line. It is basically built into a wetland park, forest park, and scenic spot. Construction is carried out with extreme caution and large-scale construction is prohibited.

At Dandelion headquarters, these are all special cases and have been given the green light.

Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen drove to Fuxian Lake in person. Every time they came here, they always felt very happy because the scenery of Fuxian Lake was so beautiful.

The water in Fuxian Lake is crystal clear and the air is very fresh. You can even say that even the air is sweet. They all think that working here will make them feel comfortable and more efficient.

Moreover, it is only 16 kilometers away from the Ring Expressway to the Dianchi Ring Expressway, so it is not far to drive.

Besides, at worst the employees can just buy a house in Chengjiang.

Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen discussed the future development of the company. They were both technical experts and were not good at running a company. However, this was not a big deal for them and they could just hire professional managers at a high price.
