"Who the hell are you?" said Cobain, in a deep voice, "you came to me with a gun just to recruit clerks for a fast-food restaurant?"

Lin Rui looked at him and said, "Have you ever heard of a private military company?"

"Private military companies? There is a tendency in countries around the world to outsource some of the functions of the military to military service companies in order to reduce military expenditures in the name of military expenditures or to reduce personnel maintenance costs. That is, PMC company in the general sense. Are you a weapons manufacturer or a security company?" said Cobain as he looked at Lin Rui.

"Military security companies, service industries. Zhao Jianfei said with a smile. "We represent a new company you've never heard of, and we need people like you. ”

"I'm not a soldier, and I haven't even touched a gun except in computer games. Cobain frowned, "What do you need me to do?"

"We need you and your team to build a satellite information network for us. Zhao Jianfei said, "We will try to meet any needs you have." ”

"I'm not interested. Cobain shook his head and said, "I hate mercenaries, I'm a pacifist." ”

"Computer hackers have never been pacifists, in a sense, you are also warriors. You've invaded the military and national intelligence agencies many times, for what? just to break through the blockade and show off your personality. As you say, you are a fighter against online authority. But you've rebelled all your life, and you're still an alternative outside the mainstream. And the opportunity we are giving you now is to become an authority. Lin Rui looked at Coben Dao.

"What do you mean?" said Cobain slowly.

"When hackers die, it's sabotage, petty fighting. And when you join us, you'll be the head of information technology for a military team. Of course, you and your team will benefit from this, and we offer a high compensation that is far higher than that of other companies. Zhao Jianfei said with a smile.

"We're not going to die for money. Cobain sneered.

"Then you can also make other requests, as long as we can meet them. Lin Rui said patiently.

Cobain hesitated for a moment and said coldly, "Okay, you go get me a root server." ”

"What's that?" Lin Rui frowned.

Zhao Jianfei sneered, "There are a total of 13 root logical name servers in the world. The real root servers are 386 distributed on all continents of the world, which is the backbone of the global Internet. One from the Information Science Research Institute of the University of Southern California, one from the Defense Information Systems Agency of the U.S. Department of Defense, and one from the Army Research Institute of the U.S. Department of Defense. This thing simply cannot be privately owned. Are you mocking us for not knowing what to do?"

"Oh, it looks like I'm underestimating you. Cobain shrugged with a smile. "In that case, let's change the conditions. As long as you meet my other request, I promise to help you and join the military company you are talking about. ”

"Very good, change to a more reliable one, and state your conditions. Zhao Jianfei nodded.

"I want a supercomputer. Cobain said nonchalantly.

"Supercomputer?" Zhao Jianfei's face changed slightly.

Cobain smiled indescribably obscenely, "It's going to be the Titan in the Oak Ridge National Reality room." ”

"Titan supercomputer. Zhao Jianfei gasped, he knew what this thing was. It was the supercomputer in the Oak Ridge National Real Room room. A total of 200 cabinets are designed, covering an area of 404 square meters. Once known as the world's fastest computer, it was overtaken by China's Tianhe-2 to become the world's second. No one can get this thing. Obviously, this is another bad joke by this guy.

Zhao Jianfei was really angry, he held a pistol against Cobain's head, and said sharply, "Bastard, are you playing with me?"

"Pretty much. Cobain was a little nervous, but he didn't believe that Zhao Jianfei would shoot at all. So he still said calmly, "You want me to join your company, but you don't even have this strength, how can you make me believe in you." ”

"What you want is world-class equipment, these devices alone are worth more than 100 million, how can a private person have it!" Zhao Jianfei said sharply.

"Then you want to build a private satellite network, and you don't give me the corresponding equipment. What can I do?" said Cobain, sneering. "Don't forget, I'm also world-class compared to these devices. ”

"None of the conditions you said will work, change again!" Lin Rui resisted the urge to smash this guy with a pistol.

"I want large workstations, blade servers, military grade. I'll make a list for you, and if you can get your hands on these things, we'll talk about the terms. If not, then it means that you don't have the strength to hire me. It's like you hire a pilot and give him a bike. It doesn't work for me at all, so I can't promise you. If you want to hire me, you can. Let me see what you're capable of first. Cobain smiled proudly, raised his hand and typed a document on the computer, which was stored in a small removable memory.

After doing this, he unplugged the memory and said calmly, "This is what I requested." You can show it to your boss. ”

Zhao Jianfei took the memory and frowned slightly, "If we do it, how can we contact you?"

"You can all find me here, so I have reason to believe that you will find me next time. Cobain shrugged, "I'm sorry, you two, I have other things." After saying that, he closed the mobile computer, smiled, turned and left.

Lin Rui wanted to stop this guy several times, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it. After all, they wanted Coben to cooperate with them willingly, otherwise, even if they hijacked him, it would be useless.

So Lin Rui could only look at Zhao Jianfei and said, "That's all we have?"

"What else?" Zhao Jianfei shook his head and said, "I can only try to contact Long Zhengwu and see what he has to say about Cobain's request." ”

"This guy is really troublesome. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "I don't think even Long Noon may be able to meet his requirements." Some of his demands are simply a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for us. ”

"Perhaps, but this is the first time we've come into contact with him, and in such a situation, it's natural for him to be wary. Zhao Jianfei nodded. He walked outside the room, took out his mobile phone, and called Long Noon.

The voice of the fat man was still as calm as ever, "Hey, Zhao Jianfei, it's been a long time, how are you in contact with that Cobain?"

"He's not a good guy to deal with. Zhao Jianfei smiled bitterly, "He put forward a series of unreasonable demands, and finally asked us to agree to some new conditions, and then we were willing to talk about it." ”

"Oh? What kind of conditions. The dragon fat man smiled slightly. "Usually I think that as long as there are conditions, there is still something to talk about. ”

"He needed some equipment and said he could only continue the conversation with us if we met the equipment requirements. Zhao Jianfei said in a deep voice, "However, when I look at him, it doesn't look like he's joking this time." ”
