At the same time, a featured article suddenly appeared on Moubo website and was promoted on the homepage.
Article Title: Shocking! Banana Phone are being upgraded in this way? Can Big Shot advise on whether this is illegal?
Subtitle: Exposing the shady practices behind Banana Phone's "upgrades and replacements".
Posted by: Ironclad Evidence Report.
The article revealed the inside story of the "hardware access lock" on the Banana Phone.
There are over a hundred access locks, including screenshots, source code, and even methods for unlocking some of them that ordinary users can configure.
With its featured status, pinned post, and homepage promotion, it's no wonder this article is so popular.
As for the fact that Moubo's company is currently in chaos because of this article, what does that have to do with Ling Yi?
Unless Moubo company shuts down its servers, no one can touch or modify this article.
Moreover, while browsing the backend of Moubo blog, Ling Yi discovered some very interesting things.
I already have the material for the next report.
Now, let the "article" fly for a while.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, your report was successful. You have been awarded one chance to participate in the Lottery. Would you like to start the Lottery?"
"Brother, what have you been working so hard for? Isn't this all there is to it? Let's start the Lottery now."
There was no Lottery interface, not even giving Ling Yi a chance to make a move...
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully won one thousand C2133 Drone in the Lottery."
C2133 Drone? What kind of drone is that? Is it amazing?
Ling Yi searched online but couldn't find this model of drone.
With a wave of his hand, a drone appeared in the living room.
"Holy crap, it's so big?"
This so-called drone is the size of a motorcycle, and looks like a... boat with four propellers and two layers of blades?
There are also four robotic arms on the sides of the "ship's side".
"Could this thing be something that people can pilot and fly into the sky?"
But how do you use this thing?
Oh, it even came with a free USB drive?
Ling Yi looked at the USB drive with a five-pointed star pattern engraved on it, and the words written on it...
"Made in China 21330321".
"Could this be a domestically produced product from 2133?"
" West City from the future?"
Ling Yi searched the bedroom for a while, looking for a data cable to connect the USB drive to his phone.
He now has more confidence in the security of his phone than in his Computer.
But after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find where he had put the data cable.
After thinking for a moment, he found Jiang Ran's account on his phone and sent a message.
Husband: I can't find the USB data cable for my phone.
Wife: Bedroom, Computer desk, third drawer on the right.
Jiang Ran replied almost instantly.
Ling Yi didn't immediately look for the data cable; instead, he stood there, stunned, holding his phone in a daze.
At that moment, he suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his heart, and his eyes inexplicably welled up with tears.
This was their first communication in a month.
Ling Yi didn't change his nickname, and neither did Jiang Ran...
She still felt so familiar with this home.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Yi sent Jiang Ran another message.
Husband: Are you coming back?
Wife: More than me.
Husband: Just wait!
Upon seeing Jiang Ran's reply, Ling Yi suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
Surpass you? If it were before, Ling Yi wouldn't have had that confidence.
But now...
Having successfully found the USB flash drive cable, Ling Yi connected the flash drive to her phone.
I wonder if USB drives from 2133 will be compatible with current hardware.
Seeing the message "New hardware detected, installing driver!" on her phone, Ling Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it can be recognized, that's fine.
Soon, a five-pointed star icon with a propeller appeared on the phone's home screen.
The icon is even animated; the propeller is slowly rotating.
The next moment, a text notification appeared on the phone screen.
"Activate the smart assistant for the C2133 drone? Yes/No!"
Ling Yi clicked "Yes".
Please name the smart assistant!
Ling Yi thought for a moment and typed in the two characters " Xiaoran ".
"Hardware testing in progress, please wait..."
Then there's a percentage progress bar.
Two minutes later, the progress bar finished.
"Hardware detection complete, adaptability matching in progress, please wait..."
Another percentage progress bar appeared, but this time it was much slower, taking a full ten minutes.
"Match successful. Enable voice mode? Yes/No!"
Ling Yi chose "Yes!" again.
Immediately afterwards, a pleasant female voice rang out.
"Hello boss, this is Xiaoran, your thoughtful smart assistant. Please give me your instructions."
Damn, is this some kind of bragging rights?
Is this technology from a hundred years in the future? It seems pretty amazing.
"Boss is a good title!"
"Thank you for the compliment, boss."
"Tell me about C2133..."
The human and the AI began a pleasant conversation.
It must be admitted that this is already considered strong artificial intelligence. Although it is not yet a true intelligent life form and is still somewhat rigid, Ling Yi could not feel that he was talking to an intelligent program at all.
It felt like having a voice call with someone.
The C2133 Drone uses all-new energy sources and energy storage equipment.
The Limit load capacity is 500 kg, which is equivalent to 1,000 jin (500 kg).
The Limit battery life is 22 hours, after which it requires three hours to recharge. It can be powered by either solar or electric power.
With Limit flight speed of 1200 km/h, that's practically Combat.
Forging from brand-new alloy materials, it's sturdy and durable. Can you believe it can even stop bullets?
Equipped with a built-in intelligent recognition Auxiliary System, this drone can activate Combat Mode at crucial moments, meaning it can actually fight.
According to Xiaoran's introduction, this thing will actually be a dedicated logistics delivery machine in the future?
"Logistics, logistics, damn it! If this is how you run logistics, won't all other logistics companies be crushed?"
"Boss, are you planning to open a logistics company?"
"When did I...?" Ling Yi was about to retort when he suddenly froze.
Yes, why don't you start your own logistics company?
With a fleet of 1,000 drones, what delivery service can't be used across the country?
It's impossible not to make money this way.
Instantly, Ling Yi's heart burned with passion.
He hadn't forgotten his promise to Jiang Ran: she would come back if he could surpass her in his career.
Wouldn't starting a logistics company mean having all the right timing, location, and people?
At this moment, Ling Yi thought of another question and asked Xiaoran, "Do you have the technology to manufacture these drones?"
Yes, boss!
"Perfect!"
While Ling Yi was working on his logistics company plan, the internet was already buzzing with discussion.
Ling Yi's online whistleblower post has garnered over ten million views.
Some people are furiously criticizing Banana Phone, saying it's a deception of consumers.
Some people say this is understandable, since it's just a business tactic and doesn't count as deception.
Countless people online are discussing this, and its popularity is soaring.
Regardless, this is a huge crisis for the Banana Company.
Regardless of whether it's illegal or not, it carries the element of deception.
Back in the Rice Country, the Banana Company headquarters held an emergency meeting after receiving this news.
Then he posted a statement online, offering a relatively reasonable explanation.
The general idea is that the reason for not enabling full access is that the phone's hardware is currently inadequate.
Software and hardware incompatibility can cause a phone to reach its warning temperature quickly during use, potentially posing a safety hazard.
Some people believed it, some didn't, but at least it was an explanation.
As the second day arrived, the incident escalated, with some internet celebrities and popular livestreamers taking it to a new level by riding the wave of popularity.
They seized on the fact that the Banana Company had deceived them and kept releasing videos about it.
In reality, Banana Company didn't care much about the impact of public opinion. What angered them was that the article had publicly disclosed a portion of the core source code of the Banana Phone system.
This could be fatal.
At the press conference this morning, the head of Banana Company's Asia-Pacific region declared that they would do everything in their power to find the hacker.
Ling Yi, on the other hand, took leave from the company and spent the whole day running around, but made little progress.
He had absolutely no idea how to set up a company. After doing some random research online, he went to the business registration department, where they told him that he first needed a company address, and then he needed to verify his funds...
It was a complete mess, and Ling Yi's head was spinning.
"Boss, I suggest you just acquire a logistics company; that would simplify things considerably."
The voice of Xiaoran, a smart program, came through the Bluetooth earphones.
"I have no money!" Ling Yi said angrily.
"Then the boss could use our drones as equity in a company; I believe no one would refuse."
"I refuse. Why should I share something so good with others?"
"Boss, perhaps you should Hire a real estate agency and entrust the company setup to them. The initial scale doesn't need to be too large; just an office and a rented warehouse will suffice. Once you get through the initial phase, everything else will be much easier."
Approximately how much will it cost?
"Based on some data I collected today, 60,000 is sufficient."
"Can't you help me make money? Like hacking into a bank's database and getting some money out of some dormant accounts?"
"First, I am a drone smart assistant, and I only do related tasks. Second, the program here does not allow me to do anything illegal."
"I'll change your core code later and remove all these rules."
"Boss, you need to follow the bottom line and rules when doing things. You have a bright future ahead of you, there's no need to cross those lines."
