What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

"Then I'll choose Top Secret."

After hearing the explanation, Qin Ze checked the box for "Top Secret" without hesitation.

The lower the security level, the fewer items can be viewed, and the fewer options are available.

"We definitely need to go for the top-of-the-line model, just to avoid future trouble."

When Wu Yanping saw this, she was immediately filled with questions!

? ? ? ?

? ? ? ?

What does it mean to do something top-tier?

No, do you think this is a membership-based place?

Is this something you can choose?

"Student, you've misunderstood. The level of confidentiality isn't optional; it's based on your responsibilities."

Wu Yanping explained patiently.

"According to our school's strict regulations, students working on classified projects can only select the 'confidential' level, which is the second level of access."

"Even this requires approval at each level depending on your project."

Qin Ze: "Then let's approve it?"

"No, how come your comprehension is so bad?"

Wu Yanping was getting impatient.

"Students are not allowed to select the 'top secret' access level."

"This access is reserved for large-scale national projects; how could we possibly let your student in?"

"Besides, you selected top secret, so I can't approve it!"

Qin Ze: "Why? Isn't the research office supposed to be the place that approves classified information?"

"Open your eyes and look around. This is just an office."

Wu Yanping said irritably.

"Top secret level access is subject to joint review by the State Science and Technology Commission and the Ministry of State Security."

"We can only grant the lowest level of permissions here."

Qin Ze was somewhat disappointed: "So you're saying I can't get it done in one day?"

"Nonsense! State secrets, do you think this is child's play?"

"The Level 2 and Level 1 levels require multiple procedures, including political vetting, background checks, and confidentiality investigations, which can take more than half a year."

"Only after passing these checks can your iris scan be approved and you enter this door!"

Wu Yanping pointed to the gate behind her.

It was a white electronic gate.

The school's research office is actually located inside the door.

Only those who can enter this place can access the school's encrypted files.

To apply for the highest level of confidentiality, you must first unlock the door with your iris scan, and then find the director of the General Affairs Division of the Research Office inside to handle the application personally.

"Let me put it this way, I've worked in the research office for twenty-five years, and I don't even have the authority to enter this door, so don't even think about it."

Qin Ze nodded: "Oh~ I see. Then you'll have to work harder, teacher."

Wu Yanping: ? ? ? ?

As they were talking.

Qin Ze put down the form in his hand.

I moved to the gate, bent down slightly, and aligned my eyes with the iris scanner.

Seeing this, Wu Yanping immediately became furious.

"No! What are you doing?!"

"Is this a place where you can just scan your iris anywhere?"

"If your scan fails the first time, my superiors will make me write a report!"

"Get out of the way..."

Wu Yanping is almost going crazy.

I've never seen such crazy students.

This is the research office, a highly confidential place of the university, not a place for playing house.

Just as she stepped forward, ready to intervene.

suddenly!

A beep!

[Access approved! Please enter!]

The white door opened.

Wu Yanping was dumbfounded.

What happened?

How did a student sweep the door open?

Normally, only those who work inside can open this gate, and only leaders at the deputy director level or above in the school who have passed the review can open it.

He's a student, what the hell?

Before Wu Yanping could react, Qin Ze stepped through the gate.

……

Before going to university.

Qin Ze had already completed the national security confidentiality review, which he remembered.

Therefore, he felt that a large door shouldn't be too difficult for him.

Once you walk through the gate, there are only three offices.

The deepest part seems to be a place similar to an archive, with even stricter encryption.

While Qin Ze was observing, the doors to the three offices opened simultaneously.

Because only people who work inside are allowed to enter this area.

Anyone entering this gate, except for these employees, will be alerted from the inside.

Gao Xiang, the head of the General Affairs Department, looked at Qin Ze, who was standing bewildered in the corridor, his face full of curiosity: "How did you get in?"

"I came in by scanning my face."

Gao Xiang looked up at Wu Yanping, who was standing at the end of the corridor.

At that moment, Wu Yanping's mind went completely blank.

She didn't have permission to enter the corridor, so she could only stand at the end and helplessly shrug.

Gao Xiang was even more confused: "How do you, a student, have level two access privileges?"

"The National Security Bureau conducted a similar investigation on me before."

Qin Ze explained while asking questions.

"Teacher, I'd like to request top-secret access. Is that where I do it?"

Gao Xiang: ? ? ?

He, as the section chief, was somewhat at a loss for what to do.

This is indeed the place to review confidentiality permissions.

However, in theory, only professors from the academy can enter this gate.

How could it be possible for a student like him?

Do I need to apply for top-secret access?

That doesn't make sense.

But if you think about it carefully, the iris recognition system at the gate is part of a nationwide network.

Since Qin Ze was able to scan it, it means he has already entered the National Security's encrypted database, and his access permissions are not a problem.

Therefore, Gao Xiang dared not act rashly: "Student, why were you encrypted?"

"I can't really explain why, but when the National Security Bureau was investigating me, they told me not to tell anyone."

Qin Ze put it very tactfully.

But Director Gao, who had worked in a classified agency for so many years, was discerning.

He immediately realized his abruptness.

He was only responsible for reviewing.

However, he has no right to inquire about the past of the person being investigated.

His attitude softened considerably, and he led Qin Ze into his office: "You said you wanted to apply for top-secret access?"

Qin Ze: "Yeah, the teacher at the door said we can apply once we come in."

"That's how it is in theory."

Gao Xiang nodded.

"I can help you apply, but you need to complete the background checks by the Ministry of State Security and the State Science and Technology Commission first."

"If it is a project involving the military, it also requires approval from the specific military region."

"After that, you'll need three more people with top-secret access to recommend you."

"Only with the signatures of the principal, the project manager, and the person in charge of national security can it be effective, and only then can I encrypt your file."

Qin Ze: "Is it that complicated? I just want to log in to the official website."

"Then you don't need to apply."

Gao Xiang's face fell.

Top-secret access is used to allow researchers to access project materials.

Requesting access just to log in to the website is a bit over the top.

Moreover.

Are websites with top-secret access meant for you to just log in for fun?

"I have to verify your level-two access permissions afterward. How could I give a student level-two permissions? Are you kidding me?"

Seeing that his teacher wouldn't do it, Qin Ze said anxiously, "Teacher, please do me a favor, I really need it..."

"Give me a break, is this a matter of saving face?"

Gao Xiang was truly impressed.

"Please register your information. I will check it later, and if there are any problems, I will contact you to inquire."

"If there are any violations, I will report it to the National Security Bureau."

"Also, you should straighten out your attitude!"

"No matter how small, state secrets are important!"

He wasn't going to waste any more words with Qin Ze and pulled a registration form out of the drawer.

Top-secret access is impossible to grant.

Not only did he refuse to grant it, he also wanted to investigate Qin Ze's level-two access permissions.

Find out why a student was able to swagger into the school's core confidential office area.

While he was busy working.

Sudden.

Ring ring—!

The encrypted satellite phone on the table rang!
