Testing

Jiang Yan Hai ran some tests. Though it was only a phone, it could already be used to test many things. Through the Electronic Warfare Support Program's scans, he instantly found vulnerabilities in several communications base stations. Following the hacking knowledge in his mind, Jiang Yan Hai quickly began putting it all together.

With the support program's help, he immediately began writing a simple program. His fingers rapidly tapped across the virtual keyboard on the phone's small screen. In less than twenty minutes, Jiang Yan Hai had written a small program.

Then he took a deep breath and released the program. Jiang Yan Hai did not know what level his skills were at, but at worst, the intrusion would fail. With the support program's assistance, even if it failed, they would not be able to trace his exact location.

After all, this support program... was practically black technology. However, it could not help Jiang Yan Hai hack into anything. It only had a few simple capabilities.

First, it could connect to any modern computing device and provide Jiang Yan Hai with computational support through the connected device.

Second, it could help Jiang Yan Hai defend his own turf and prevent enemies from tracing him back. In fact, this ability alone was a godsend for hackers!

What hackers feared most was being traced in return. After all, as long as you invaded someone else's system through data, you would always leave behind traces for them to follow.

Most hackers used vast numbers of Botnet relay points. A Botnet was a computer secretly hacked by a hacker, who obtained the highest level of access. He could connect to your computer, then use your computer to connect to the next computer he had hacked, repeating the process dozens or even hundreds of times to evade pursuit. Once they noticed someone tracing them, they would immediately erase their data from every Botnet, cutting off the other side's trail.

After all, after bouncing through dozens of Botnets, tracing the IP address was no easy task.

The Electronic Warfare Support Program was even simpler. Jiang Yan Hai had no idea what method it used, but it could directly conceal a physical IP address. Or rather, it could instantly generate several thousand virtual addresses, leaving anyone with nothing to trace.

Without worries about being tracked, this was probably something every hacker dreamed of.

The third function was even more straightforward. It could provide Jiang Yan Hai with tremendous computing power. It could be understood as a supercomputer. It might not have other capabilities, but whenever Jiang Yan Hai needed to forcibly crack an enemy's password or exploit a program vulnerability, its computing power would be enormous support!

Those three basic functions alone were enough. They meant that no matter where Jiang Yan Hai went, he carried a supercomputer with him!

With the support program behind it, the small intrusion program Jiang Yan Hai had written instantly began exploiting the vulnerabilities to invade the communications company's system. Then Jiang Yan Hai discovered in astonishment that in less than two minutes, he had obtained the hidden highest-level permissions of this communications base station.

Moreover, the intrusion program quickly began spreading through the base station's internal network.

"Uh..." Jiang Yan Hai choked for a moment, then hurriedly operated the phone manually to stop the program from continuing.

The program's power exceeded his expectations somewhat. In that case, his hacking skills were probably not low at all, even if they were only B-rank.

Jiang Yan Hai did not continue experimenting. There was nowhere he needed to use it for the moment, so it was better not to expose it yet. He would treat it as a hidden trump card.

After restoring his phone to its original state, Jiang Yan Hai finally lay down to rest. Having just absorbed so much information, his head was still spinning.

Before lying down, Jiang Yan Hai also claimed the mission rewards for his physical fitness and Neural Reaction. The moment he received them, a cool sensation surged from every part of his body.

That power filled his entire body. He could almost hear his muscles beginning to tremble. At the same time, his mind became cool and clear, easing the dizzy, swollen feeling in his head. Before long, he fell asleep.

Jiang Yan Hai was awakened by voices. When he opened his eyes, he instantly felt refreshed. In addition, his body had recovered to its peak state, and an indescribable sense of strength filled him.

He had just sat up from his spot when he saw He Chen Guang and the others walk in, including squad leader Old Hei.

"Hello, Squad Leader." Jiang Yan Hai immediately stood up and called out loudly.

"Alright, no need to salute. It's rest time now. How is it? Has your body recovered?" Old Hei asked with a smile.

"No problem." Jiang Yan Hai answered seriously.

"Not bad. You look much stronger than you did in recruit training. I really don't know how you trained. What, did they feed you well over at the farm?" Old Hei laughed, and the other soldiers in the squad laughed as well.

"Yeah, Old Jiang, you've really caused a stir. You kept such a low profile during recruit training, but your return has been nothing short of spectacular." He Chen Guang said with a grin.

He Chen Guang's face was still youthful here. He was just an eighteen-year-old kid, of course he could not be like in the TV drama, ahem... Jiang Yan Hai held back the urge to complain. Still, their appearances could only be called somewhat similar. Jiang Yan Hai was a few months older than He Chen Guang and the others, so they all called him Old Jiang.

"Uh, something happened back then. I wasn't in a good mood." Jiang Yan Hai did not explain in detail. Gong Jian needed an explanation because he was the political instructor, but there was no need to explain it to anyone else.

"Alright, no more talk. Today, you've taught us a lesson. There are always people better than us." He Chen Guang said with a chuckle.

"Exactly. Come on, everyone, introduce yourselves and get acquainted." Old Hei said with a smile. Before long, he introduced every soldier in the squad to Jiang Yan Hai. There were only two recruits in this squad: Jiang Yan Hai and He Chen Guang.

If Sharpshooter Fourth Company was the spearhead company of the entire Iron Fist Regiment, then Old Hei's squad was the spearhead squad of Sharpshooter Fourth Company! Its strength was naturally beyond question.

After everyone introduced themselves, Jiang Yan Hai quickly began to fit into the group, at least for the time being.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, when the piercing wake-up call sounded from the loudspeakers outside, Jiang Yan Hai sprang straight out of bed. The Red Star Auxiliary Engine had tormented him so much lately that he got up incredibly fast.

That day, the companies trained separately for the most part, and their morning training was shooting practice.

When he heard it was shooting practice, Jiang Yan Hai's expression became slightly strange. After all, he was now truly a man with cheats!
