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 platforms that had already been connected to computers for the participants to use.
The emcee briefly explained the rules of the competition. “This competition is divided into three stages. There are three layers of firewalls that are getting stronger and stronger. Participants have to break through each layer. Those who can break through the last layer will receive a bonus of 50,000 yuan. If you have the intention, our company’s technical department can also hire you!”

You guys can choose according to your abilities. If you’re confident, you can participate all the way to the last stage. However, to be fair, the time you take to participate in the last 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 our company’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 technology competition 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 global competition 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 this competition was. If they could get first place in this international technology competition, 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.
This competition 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 recommended 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 the competition.
Invitations to this competition would only be distributed to the top internet companies. Each company only got three tickets.
Since the organizers chose to use admission tickets as rewards, it could be seen how sincere they were about this competition. At the same time, it could be seen how confident they were in the employees of their technical department.
After the competition officially began, the pillars of the computers lit up with blue lights. The time limit for each level was five minutes.
The contestants stood in front of the pillar with determined expressions on their faces. After moving their fingers, they placed 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 players 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.

Three minutes had passed, but there were still no signs of the firewall being breached. However, some contestants’ pillars had already turned red. It looked like they had failed and were eliminated.
The contestant slammed the pillar 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 this competition to choose outstanding talents for their company, but also to publicize their products and let everyone know how powerful their firewall was. It was really a competition that killed two birds with one stone.
Compared to the subsequent benefits, the competition rewards seemed insignificant..
