After thinking about it, Alice felt that the answer was better: "What I can give about power armor is that before the basic industry in our country reaches the nano level, there is no need to think about this product."

As she said that, she looked at her watch again and said, "So to save time, let's talk about this question later. Let's talk about other ideas?"

The responsibilities of a chief designer or technical consultant are extremely easy for Alice, and those in the Pentagon, after seeing their achievements in programming and excellent scientific imagination, will definitely not allow the results of the meeting to be limited to paper. Being a businessman after all, it is better not to continue to argue with politicians.

"There are many other ideas, of course."

Weinberg continued to look through the information in his hand and said, "According to our understanding, you ordered a large number of products from General Dynamics during the filming of "Alien II". The alien terrain car and armored car used in the movie, and even the landing machine, were all made directly by you who handed them the design drawings directly, right?"

"Yes, I designed those drawings myself, but they were just designed as movie props. If you really want to convert them into mature military equipment, it is not an easy task."

After slighting the purpose that we knew each other well, Alice turned to laugh and said, "For example, the power armor we just talked about is only one millimeter in its true thickness, and it is even harder to block the five millimeter bullets of the submachine gun. However, if you really want to increase the thickness, or use high-strength materials while retaining the thickness, the cost and technical content will naturally increase."

An army general spoke at the right time: "It's right, but your armor is not just a movie prop, but a very expensive finished equipment. So I have a question, how do you design joints?"

This question can be said to be interesting to every technician who has carefully read "Alien II". Some newspaper comments have spoken. From the details of the Marines' costumes in the movie, everyone can clearly see that this set of armor is not just a steel piece on a leather jacket, but a real metal connection. Then the question is, how did the designer make the physical movements of the wearable limbs so agile?

"The drawings are my drawings, and the finished product is produced by a mechanical designer in our crew, Fumiyoshi Sextrin."

Alice said the truth: "He is a former employee of General Dynamics, and has studied at Caltech and MIT respectively, and his skills are excellent."

After this answer, everyone did not ask questions immediately, but digested and absorbed them first. Alice was not in a hurry and looked at her watch. It was still early before the meal time.

After a moment of silence, Secretary of Defense Weinberg laughed: "You designed it again."

This sentence is the highlight.

The conference room was once again ruled by relaxed laughter. Just then, the door of the conference room was suddenly opened, and a handsome middle-aged man hurried into the room: "Damn it, no one told me that Alice has arrived?"

"Oh, Director Freir."

Alice stood up and shook hands with him. Isn’t this the National Security Director, Dominic Fleir, whom she had just chatted with last night?

"Oh, Alice, I'm sorry, there were other jobs that were busy just now."

Falle happily shook hands with Alice, then looked at the crowd: "Where is the topic? Haven't Clark and Lockheed arrived yet?"

Alice raised her eyebrows and immediately glanced around.

Among the two mentioned by Frell, the latter undoubtedly refers to Oren Lockheed, the rich second generation company who has become increasingly in control of real power in the company, and the future CEO. As for the previous Clark, since Frell and Lockheed are tied with each other, it is obviously William Clark, the then CEO of General Dynamics, William Clark.

Well, everyone here looked a little embarrassed.

So, is Dominic Follyer deliberately late?

"Oh, right, I almost forgot."

As if he suddenly realized, Secretary of Defense Weinberg slapped his head: "They are still in the hotel, I'll take a look..."

"Sorry, sorry, the hotel just broke down and none of us could receive the call."

It was like a stage play, with characters appearing one after another. Before Weinberg could finish his words, a handsome young man strode into the house. Who is Oren Lockheed?

"Ah, Oren."

Alice shook hands with him in surprise and said, "So you are here too, and... Hello, Mr. Clark."

Following closely behind was a mature middle-aged man with a thick black beard on his upper lip. After entering the conference room, he first glanced at the soldiers in the room, and then nodded to Alice and said, "Meet again, Miss Wang, I have watched your "Alien II", which is indeed a very outstanding movie."

Facing this middle-aged man, Alice also had a very steady image, shook hands with him and said, "If I had not had the support of general power, I would not be able to show so many excellent equipment in the movie, so I should thank you very much."

It seems that the situation is clear.

In fact, when Alice saw that it was Weinberg waiting for her in the conference room, instead of Falle who was chatting with her at night last night, she was already a little confused.

Then, at this moment, Fleir suddenly broke in on the grounds of being busy with work as a reason to be late, and then he used a crappy interface like "the hotel has no power outage and no call", and then walked into the two people inside the house...

Feelings, is this the fighting force within military personnel?

Undoubtedly, at this moment, the focus of the topic in the room was on Alice. Facing these two arms dealers who had arrived here and military personnel in the Pentagon room, she pretended to be helpless and sighed: "Okay, don't you guys just want me to sell your coolies for you?"

In a word, when the fifteen-year-old girl said it easily, everyone suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

But then, she shrugged her shoulders very easily and said, "But it doesn't matter. It's too much work for those who can work. As long as you can provide enough rewards, I don't mind developing some high-end and sophisticated equipment for the military. Tell me, Minister Weinberg and Minister Furier, what do you need to design and let me ask the two companies to develop them all."

"Haha, Alice is really refreshing."

The instant silence seemed as long as ten thousand years, and then it was interrupted by Fleir's smile. He casually found a chair and opened his mouth and said, "I just urged Alice, how is the firewall developed? We are all in a hurry to use it!"

With his mouth like this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became active again. Many military generals did not speak anymore. Defense Minister Weinberg interrupted with a dry cough and said, "That's right. Yesterday, the hacker took the security department half a day to the end, but the address was thrown into Australia. Fortunately, he only had time to hang out on the outer network, otherwise we might have suffered huge losses."

Alice learned about the relevant situation last night, and she was too lazy to pay attention to this past tense: "It has reached the physical hardware detection stage. From November last year to now, we have asked offline manufacturers to manufacture fifth generation equipment, and every update can increase performance by 30%. If you are anxious, I will speed up and probably provide you with the finished product in April."

As expected, Weinberg and Frell both smacked their lips.

The technology and products of "Internet Security Protocol and its related hardware" are completely different from the military industry they have always been familiar with. When they heard that it had been updated for several months, Weinberg couldn't help but wonder: "Can the first generation not be used? Do you have to experiment repeatedly? How many differences can there be between them?"

"On the one hand, it is software. This security protocol is like a law. We can make many regulations on data transmission methods, but there will definitely be many blank areas that are not taken into account. Just like legal loopholes, skilled criminals will always exploit the loopholes. The maximum engineering volume when we develop a firewall is actually the continuous compilation and re-compilation of the security protocol."

Seeing Weinberg suddenly realize, Fulell thoughtfully and deeply agreed, Alice shrugged: "Actually, the main workload is here. You must know that whenever the protocol is renovated, the software volume will increase a lot. When our current hard drive has not been released to use GB as a regular unit, the processor speed is just that. Once the software changes, the hardware part must also be redesigned."

After saying so much, Weinberg, as an outsider, understood the situation. He touched his chin thoughtfully: "In other words, every renovation will make the firewall perform better..."

"...Alice, then I'll ask two questions now. First, can the current fifth-generation firewall block the hacker you encountered last time? Second, if we wait until June to order your sixth-generation and seventh-generation products, will the performance be better?"

"I'll answer the second question first, yes."

Let me give you a positive answer first, because Alice is also very immense about the previous question: "It is definitely okay to have an ordinary intrusion, but for those experts, I cannot absolutely guarantee you. After all, no matter how many times I updated it, it has not really experienced actual products. Even during the research and development period, our Cisco programmers will perform simulated attack behavior, but the limitations are too great."

Weinberg was not forced. For the current Pentagon, any firewall would be a hundred times safer than living in a bare wooden house.
