The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65 Chaos

A data package packaged as a performance optimization patch was directly distributed to the core team of the Sky Vault Project through the instruction of an old man who was very important within the family.

The order directly bypassed Nangong Chen, carrying pressure from his superiors.

The technician who received the order looked at the code of unknown origin on the screen and frowned.

From his professional perspective, this operation of bypassing all testing processes and loading unknown modules directly into the production environment is simply suicidal.

He tried to report the risk to his superiors, but received a cold reply: “Then run the simulation first to see the effect, but it must be run today.”

This compromise made him feel a little relieved.

He quickly set up an isolated testing environment and injected the mysterious code into it.

Surprisingly, the test indicators began to rise rapidly, the system response speed increased by 12%, and the resource usage dropped by 8%.This is indeed an optimization patch with significant effects!

“It seems I’ve been worrying too much…” He murmured to himself, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

The previous worries were diluted by this real performance improvement, and were replaced by a trace of luck and relief.

“Have you seen the effect? Then deploy it quickly,” the superior behind him urged, “The patience above is limited.”

This time, he didn’t hesitate.

Since the test results are so ideal, what else is there to worry about?

He skillfully deployed the module to the main system of Sky Dome, and even had some expectations to see how big a performance leap it could bring in actual operation.

In the first thirty seconds, the monitoring indicators of the main system also showed a gratifying optimization trend.

The corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

Then——

The first sharp alarm sounded without warning!

The smile on his face froze instantly.

Immediately afterwards, sirens erupted from every corner of the control center!

On the main screen, the green indicator that seemed to be pleasing just now quickly disappeared, and the entire screen flashed violently several times, and finally fell into darkness.

“Restart! Restart the system quickly!” came the roar of the person in charge.

The technicians were busy operating, and the keys were clicking.

However, no matter how they tried, the screen remained hopelessly dark, unable to display even the most basic startup interface.

The bomb hidden in the optimization module showed completely different destructive power than during the test after being exposed to the real operating environment.

From the time the code is loaded into the main system until the entire Sky Dome system is completely paralyzed and cannot be started, it takes

Less than three minutes.

He slumped in his chair, staring blankly at the dark screen in front of him, hearing the sirens one after another and the desperate attempts of his colleagues.

The little bit of luck and expectation that had just arisen turned into complete despair at this moment.

A clear thought occupied his mind:

It’s done, we’re all done.

In the luxurious and spacious conference room on the top floor of Chenxia Technology, a high-level meeting on the final details of the Sky Dome launch conference was taking place.

Nangong Chen sat in the main seat, tapping the table with his fingertips gracefully, listening to his subordinates reporting the media invitation list and VIP seating arrangements, with an indifferent expression on his face that he had everything under control.

At this moment, the thick solid wood door of the conference room was pushed open with a bang!

The vice president of the technical department didn’t even have time to knock on the door. His face was pale, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he rushed in almost crawling.

“Chen…Mr. Chen! Something happened! Tianqiong…Tianqiong system…” His voice was trembling and his words were incoherent. The huge fear made it almost impossible for him to form complete sentences.

There was silence in the conference room for an instant, and all the executives’ eyes were focused on the vice president of the technical department, and then cautiously glanced at Nangong Chen, who was in charge.

Nangong Chen’s brows instantly tightened, and a trace of displeasure at being interrupted flashed in his eyes.

He raised his hand and stopped the secretary who was about to scold the vice president of the technical department.

“Speak clearly.” His voice was low but filled with suffocating pressure.

The vice president of the technical department took a sharp breath and forced himself to calm down: “The core system of Tianqiong… suddenly collapsed five minutes ago! A complete collapse! Now… now the entire system has been paralyzed!”

“Buzz–” There was a muffled exclamation and gasp in the conference room.

The indifference on Nangong Chen’s face instantly disintegrated, replaced by rage that was about to erupt like a volcano.

He stood up in a hurry, and the leather seat behind him slid back due to the violent movement, making a harsh sound as it rubbed against the ground.

“What did you say?!” His voice suddenly rose, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, “Crash? It’s less than a week before the press conference!! What does your technical department do for a living!”

Everyone held their breath, not even daring to take a breath.

Nangong Chen closed his eyes suddenly, and his chest heaved violently several times. When he opened it again, although his eyes were burning with rage, they had been forcibly suppressed by cold reason again.

He knew that now was not the time to hold people accountable. Every second wasted would make the situation worse.

He suddenly turned to the secretary standing in the corner of the conference room, his eyes as sharp as knives.

“Secretary Li!”

The female secretary who was called was excited and immediately trotted forward holding her tablet computer, standing up straight, ready to record.

Nangong Chen spoke very fast, and every word carried heavy weight:

“Immediately activate the company’s emergency response procedures and contact group personnel to apply for assistance.”

“Notify all core technical personnel of the Sky Dome Project that no matter where they are or what they are doing at the moment, they must appear at the technology center within ten minutes.”

“Immediately set up an emergency repair team and mobilize all available technical resources in the company. Within half an hour, I want to see the preliminary report on my desk.”

“Also,” he glanced at the silent people in the conference room, “completely block the news. Before the cause of system recovery is found out, if even half a word of what just happened is leaked to the outside…”

He paused slightly, letting the silent threat fully spread.

“Everyone here, as well as the entire team under your control, is not as simple as losing your job. I will personally arrange it and give you a long enough vacation.”

“Yes! Mr. Chen!” Secretary Li’s face turned pale, but her professionalism allowed her to quickly write down all the instructions, then turned around and walked out quickly, while she had already begun to issue instructions one by one through the device in her hand.

The entire Chenxia Technology, a huge machine, began to run crazily around the collapse of the sky as these were conveyed through the secretary.

He ended the call, his sinister gaze swept over the silent people in the conference room, and finally settled on the ashen-faced vice president of the technical department.

“Go to the technical center.” He opened his long legs and strode out with uncontrollable anger in his voice. “No one can leave until I figure out which link is the problem.”

A race against time for rescue began hastily and embarrassingly under Nangong Chen’s rage and pressure.

And he knew in his heart that this sudden accident was more than just a technical failure.
