    When the tour was almost over, the organizer sent the emcee to the stage in the center of the exhibition hall. As the emcee stood on the stage with a microphone in his hand, all the spotlights were directed at the stage. Around the stage, there was a circle of tforms that had already been connected toputers for the participants to use.


    The emcee briefly exined the rules of thepetition. “Thispetition is divided into three stages. There are threeyers of firewalls that are getting stronger and stronger. Participants have to break through eachyer. Those who can break through thestyer will receive a bonus of 50,000 yuan. If you have the intention, ourpany’s technical department can also hire you!”


    As the emcee looked at the eager crowd, he exined the additional conditions. “Participants don’t have to participate in all the stages. You guys can choose ording to your abilities. If you’re confident, you can participate all the way to thest stage. However, to be fair, the time you take to participate in thest stage will be halved.”


    “In addition, we have an additional round. The contestants can take out the protective program that they are confident in and let ourpany’s technical department be in charge of cracking it. If the final result is that they can’t crack it, it will be considered the contestant’s victory and we’ll give you an admission ticket to the international technologypetition for next month.” Entry ticket to the International Science and Technology Competition! As soon as these words were spoken, the audience immediately started discussing in excitement. The International Science and Technology Competition was a globalpetition that was held only once every three years. It would choose the top technical talents from various countries to participate. At that time, one’s opponent would be top talents from all over the world.


    This was enough to show how important thispetition was. If they could get first ce in this international technologypetition, even if they were only in the top 20, everything would be smooth-sailing in the domestic technology industry from now on and they would obtain countless resources. It was an achievement that many people dreamed of.


    Thispetition was very important, so the difficulty of participating was also very high. Not everyone could participate just because they wanted to. They had to be rmended by many parties and have outstanding works. They had to obtain the recognition of more than two big bosses in the technology industry to obtain an admission ticket to thepetition.


    Invitations to thispetition would only be distributed to the top intepanies. Eachpany only got three tickets.


    Since the organizers chose to use admission tickets as rewards, it could be seen how sincere they were about thispetition. At the same time, it could be seen how confident they were in the employees of their technical department.


    After thepetition officially began, the pirs of theputers lit up with blue lights. The time limit for each level was five minutes.


    The contestants stood in front of the pir with determined expressions on their faces. After moving their fingers, they ced them on the keyboard and stared at the timer seriously. When the timer began, they would immediately break through the firewall.


    The countdown began!


    The yers typed codes on the keyboard very quickly. Some of them were so fast that the afterimages of their fingers could be seen, and the keyboard made crackling sounds.


    The audience watching below the stage was also very nervous and sweating profusely. They did not even dare to breathe loudly as they watched thepetition.


    Three minutes had passed, but there were still no signs of the firewall being breached. However, some contestants’ pirs had already turned red. It looked like they had failed and were eliminated.


    The contestant mmed the pir angrily and left the stage in disappointment.


    As the audience watched the contestants leave one by one, they had a rough idea of this firewall. To be able to make things difficult for so many contestants and make them spend so much time without being able to break through, it was enough to show how powerful this firewall was. More importantly, this was only the first stage!


    At this moment, many people finally understood that the organizers were not only holding thispetition to choose outstanding talents for theirpany, but also to publicize their products and let everyone know how powerful their firewall was. It was really apetition that killed two birds with one stone.


    Compared to the subsequent benefits, thepetition rewards seemed insignificant..
