Chapter 209 - 208 Shortcut
The name was set, the nickname was set, and what followed, of course, was to set the action plan for the Organization of Water.
Yang Yi was the boss, but the person calling the shots now was Mike. There was no help for it—Yang Yi was a tenderfoot, after all.
Mike slowly said, "The Organization of Water is in the founding phase—we have a lot of work to do. The first and foremost task is to establish a hacker team, or let’s say a professional computer team, however you want to call it."
Curiosity piqued, Yang Yi asked, "A team? Do we need that many hackers?"
"Of course, we’re in the digital age now, and a lot of intelligence can be directly gathered from the internet, so a good hacker team is crucial."
"I mean, is a team necessary? Do we need that many hackers to make it work?"
Mike sighed and said helplessly, "We definitely need a lot of people. Have you watched too many movies and think everything can be handled by a single hacker with one computer? Stop joking. CIA’s Cyber Intelligence Center in Langley City employs thousands; the data they process is astronomical. Using a personal computer for such tasks is laughable. That’s why the CIA has its own supercomputers to use, and so do the NSA and FBI. We can’t possibly establish a huge Cyber Intelligence Center like these large intelligence organizations, but at the very least, we need to have a small, yet sufficient and competent Cyber Intelligence Center."
After some thought, Brian asked, "I don’t really understand your so-called Cyber Intelligence Center. Can you explain it a bit?"
Mike gestured dismissively and said, "You’re out of touch. I don’t have time to explain this to you, as it’s a very complex issue. When you get used to modern life, you’ll understand the role of a Cyber Intelligence Center."
Brian said nothing more, and Yang Yi slammed his hands down, exclaiming loudly, "Then let’s do it! But how much money will it take?"
Mike stroked his chin, then said thoughtfully, "The initial costs are around ten million US Dollars."
