Chapter 128 - Nailing the coffin shut? (2)

“Xu WanZhi messed up! She really hung herself!”

“Oh darn! Did she really just do that? She set herself up?”

“She just brought up everyone else in her speech, Qin Sheng, Chen Jin, Liang ZhiQuan, Mu ZhenYu… and now she just nailed her own coffin shut?”

“What the hell? AHAHAHAHA.”

“I am getting progressively more confused about the purpose of the conference today.”

Xu WanZhi tabbed on the microphone to quiet the mass down. “We’ve only tried one software so far, what’s the rush? Now, let’s try out Northern Star.”

The technical expert repeated the process earlier and pointed the camera at Xu WanZhi.

Retina scan focused mostly on the iris. Iris was the part between the pupil and the sclera. It has a lot of characteristic arrangement of spots and filaments. This arrangement was very complicated and, as such, given each individual their unique signature.

The Cobra was able to identify that she was the one in the photo because, well, she was the on in the photo.

Yet, when she used the software developed by Mu ZhenYu’s team, she used her magic to alter the arrangement in her iris.

Any minute variance would be picked up by the sensitive system.

Sure enough, the Northern Star did not identify Xu WanZhi as the individual in the photo.

With all the ups and down, all of the reporters sitting below were sitting on edges. Xu WanZhi knew that the best part of the event was about to begin and decided to stop with the build-up. She used the same trick with all the other software and, sure enough, with the exception of Qin Sheng’s system, all of the other ones failed to identify her as the person in the photo.

The true was about to be revealed.

Xu WanZhi picked up the microphone again. “You have all seen the result of the test. What I want to ask is, is there anyone here who is familiar with programming? Please tell us how difficult would it be to alter the code within Cobra only when it came to me. So that each and every time it will identify me as the one in the picture. How difficult would that be to achieve that?”

It was silence at first and, finally, someone said, “It unlikely but plausible.”

“I agree. The chances of the data being altered were low. But, what if…” Xu WanZhi paused for a little bit and said, “What if Project Falcon had already sealed off Cobra for their acquisition a while back? The photos were given to Qin Sheng by Chen Jin less than three days ago. Would Qin Sheng really be able to bypass the bosses of Project Falcon and alter its algorithm?”

The IT person who answer the question earlier was now speechless.

Xu WanZhi stood up with the microphone in her hand and her voice was sonorous. “In the very unlikely event that Qin Sheng’s team was so good that they were able to bypass Project Falcon’s firewall. Now we are talking about endangering public safety. We all know that Project Falcon was designed for crime prevention. If it could be easily hacked, then what kind of reassurance is it really providing us? Will Qin Sheng really dare to commit such a crime?

When public safety was involved, the subject became much more serious and the reporters, too, looked more solemn than before. This involved more than just Xu WanZhi, or the conflicts between just a handful of individuals. This involves every resident of this country.

“And, if the algorithm was not altered, then why was it that we had different results from different software? Specifically, four of them provided the same result overwhelmingly and Cobra a different one,” denounced Xu WanZhi with her eyes widened. “That is because Cobra was not suitable for Project Falcon! It doesn’t make the cut. It was an unfinished product! As such, we can only postulate how many false accusations Cobra would cause had it be adopted by Project Falcon.”

She pointed at the tip of her own nose and said, “Luckily, as of right now, me, Xu WanZhi, was the only victim of this system being falsely accused of me having very casual relationships. Yet, at the end of the day, there was no actual damage to anyone’s safety or property. But what happens when Cobra is launched? How many innocent lives will it claim?”
