Resurrection Empire-Chapter 837 - 320: Gold Shines Wherever It Is, Turning the Tide (Part 3)

Ma Xiaocheng was taken aback.

He simply magnified the surveillance level of Group 77 and also heard Ren Zhong's orders to the others.

"This is our first real battle, the difficulty has slightly increased, but it should still be within your capabilities. Additionally, I will not broadcast the progress time to you, just focus on your own tasks."

Turning from one bad block into nearly 1.5 million bad blocks, in Ren Zhong's words, is only a "slight increase in difficulty."

Ma Xiaocheng raised his eyebrows.

He immediately guessed that Ren Zhong had not informed his team of the truth, purposely simplifying the complex situation to reduce their psychological pressure.

146 seconds later, the five members of Group 77, drenched in sweat, completed the basic calculations and submitted the results to Ren Zhong.

12 seconds later, Ren Zhong submitted the shielding plan directly.

Ma Xiaocheng was stunned on the spot.

Ren Zhong did not conduct a full result review, only completing half of it.

If it weren't an emergency, Ma Xiaocheng would have wanted to call Ren Zhong to the office for a severe reprimand.

After a brief consideration, Ma Xiaocheng gritted his teeth and conducted a review on his side.

35 seconds later, the review was successful, and the execution success rate of the simulated computation exceeded 99.9999%, proving the plan was feasible.

Not having time to blame himself for wasting 35 seconds, Ma Xiaocheng immediately clicked send.

0.01 seconds later, a massive stream of Ghost Particle Communicator data was transmitted into space from the giant antenna at the top of the Upper Origin Capital.

0.5 seconds later, deep within a not-so-distant "planet," countless "ants" synchronized their actions.

Another two minutes passed, and as the first bad block was replaced, the first black block in the projection model turned green.

Subsequently, this lush green light spread like the previous black blocks.

Five and a half minutes later, with the final black block turning green, Ma Xiaocheng received the message, "This repair was a complete success."

He exhaled a long breath and leaned back sharply, only then realizing his back was drenched with cold sweat.

As one of the most powerful people on Source Star, the confirmed next Steering Man of Deep Communication Group, Ma Xiaocheng was well-versed in worldly matters and had an exceptionally strong psychological resilience.

However, the rollercoaster-like experience in such a short time left him feeling quite overwhelmed.

After taking about five minutes to calm down, Ma Xiaocheng made an internal company announcement.

"The emergency has been successfully handled. The algorithm project group's Group 77 played a significant role, contributing 70%. Congratulations to Ren Zhong, congratulations to Group 77."

Brief words, major significance.

Instantly, the entire Deep Communication Group was shaken, and even many high-ranking officials of the Source Star Business Association who had been following the matter were amazed.

Although a 70% contribution might seem modest and unremarkable,

the fact is, this is the highest evaluation within the algorithm project group.

The remaining 30% belonged to other coordinating departments.

In the past, when the algorithm project group took too long, only able to finish the task with the catch-up efforts of other engineering and execution departments, the algorithm group's contribution sometimes didn't even reach 30%.

Here, Ren Zhong received Ma Xiaocheng's inquiry, "Ren Zhong, do you need to take a break?"

"No need, I'm not tired."

"Alright then, come to my office in ten minutes. I need to respond to my father and the Association, so I can't get up. Sorry for the trouble."

Ren Zhong: "No problem, Minister Ma, you're too polite."

Ten minutes later, Ren Zhong arrived at the Minister's office door, precisely on time.

Ma Xiaocheng had already finished the briefing.

On the way from his own office to the Minister's office, almost everyone Ren Zhong passed looked at him with admiration, respectfully greeting and saying words of praise.

Ren Zhong still maintained an attitude that seemed approachable but actually kept a distance from everyone.

The door suddenly opened from the inside, and Ma Xiaocheng, with a beaming smile, walked out quickly, "Ren Zhong, you're here. Come in and sit down, what tea would you like?"

Ren Zhong: "Snow Mist, thank you."

As the door closed, the other employees watching shivered violently.

Many had worked here for over a decade, but it was the first time Minister Ma Xiaocheng personally opened the door for someone and brewed tea.

In the office, after placing the steaming teacup in front of Ren Zhong, Ma Xiaocheng said, "This time, it's indeed thanks to you."

Ren Zhong: "Just doing my job, no need to thank me."

"According to your current Citizen Credit Points, once my credit application is finalized, you can directly be promoted to Seventh Level Citizen, and you'll be able to step foot in Upper Origin Capital."

Ren Zhong raised an eyebrow, "Are there that many points?"

Ma Xiaocheng nodded, "Of course, the 'web' is particularly important to us. This score isn't solely from Deep Communication Group but is shared by nine major companies."

Ren Zhong: "I see, thank you."

"No need to thank me; you earned it." Ma Xiaocheng smiled, then casually asked, "I want to know why you submitted the result without verification back then?"

Ren Zhong responded, "I was 100% sure of its accuracy, so why waste time verifying? The situation was urgent; isn't that what you said, Minister Ma?"

Ma Xiaocheng was taken aback, somewhat embarrassed, and replied, "That's true, but I'll be honest with you. I did a verification myself and wasted 35 seconds, otherwise your completion would have been even better. Sorry."

Ren Zhong waved it off, "It's no bother, Minister Ma, you don't need to apologize. After all, our goal is the same, to serve the 'web.' As long as the final result is perfect, the process is naturally perfect too."

"Exactly." Ma Xiaocheng thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "From now on, you'll take over one of my positions and become the leader of the algorithm project group. I'll give you all the authority of this position."

Ren Zhong raised an eyebrow and stood up abruptly, "I will not fail this mission!"
