Chapter 343: Chapter 168: Debugging and Action

Therefore, specialized feed formulas were developed only for the A-series, O-series, and Z-series.

And it wasn’t just one formula.

Each group required four formulas: a calf growth formula, a heifer formula, a young cow formula, and a lactating cow formula.

After compiling these formulas, Jiang Miao had them sent off to be registered for patents.

After the dairy farm divided the cows into their respective groups, they began adjusting their feed according to the new formulas.

Although Lin Datong didn’t think this adjustment would yield positive results, he was obedient and executed Jiang Miao’s orders to the letter.

For the first week, the cows’ daily milk production didn’t fluctuate significantly, holding steady at around 28 to 33 kilograms.

Things changed on June 17th, the tenth day after the feed adjustment and the day Jiang Miao planned to depart again.

For a portion of the cows whose genetic targets had been sufficiently stimulated, milk production began to rise steadily.

Lin Datong stared at the day’s milking data, his expression a mixture of shock and disbelief. "Today, 296 cows produced over 35 kilograms?"

"Yes, Forestry Director," the data analyst quickly replied.

"Are you sure there wasn’t a system error?"

The data analyst shook his head vigorously. "No, I had the maintenance technician check it. There are no issues whatsoever."

’Could those formulas actually be working?’ Lin Datong was skeptical. He muttered to himself, "I’ll have to observe for a while longer to be sure."

Since he wasn’t entirely convinced, Lin Datong decided not to report it to the boss just yet. He would wait until the experiment had run a little longer, then summarize the findings based on the cows’ milk production.

Then another thought struck him. He hurried to the milk composition testing station and asked the staff to run a full analysis on the milk from the past few days. He wanted to see if its composition had changed and whether any harmful substances were present in unsafe levels.

As a veterinarian who had worked in dairy farming for many years, Lin Datong knew of many drugs that could increase milk production, but all of them came with their own set of problems.

For example, they could cause endocrine disorders and weakened immune systems in the cows, a drop in milk quality, increased levels of harmful substances, or the presence of banned ingredients.

These problems could not be ignored.

Dairy farms in America were known for using all sorts of "advanced tech and hardcore methods."

Domestic regulations on the use of such drugs had become increasingly strict.

If the new formulas caused such problems, the loss would far outweigh the gain.

At Lin Datong’s urging, the milk composition testing station quickly provided a detailed analysis report.

The head of the testing station smiled and patted the report. "Forestry Director Lin, the quality of the milk this time is excellent. None of the harmful or banned substances you were worried about. In fact, the milk protein content in some samples is even higher than before. The best one reached 3.86%."

"Really?" Lin Datong was astonished.

He snatched the report and began to pore over it.

After a moment, Lin Datong breathed a sigh of relief. "Good, no problems. After all, I’d hate to have to waste the last few days’ worth of milk."

"The boss is incredible. You were worrying for nothing." The station head smiled and shook his head, completely confident in Jiang Miao.

"I hope so too," Lin Datong didn’t argue, but his concerns came from a sense of responsibility to the company.

While Lin Datong was speaking with the head of the testing station, Jiang Miao and his party had already boarded a high-speed train to the Capital City, heading north.

However, barely twenty minutes after he’d settled in, Li Zixuan approached his seat with a grim look, phone in hand. "Boss! Something’s come up at the company that requires your personal decision. General Manager Jiang, Xinyi, and the others are tagging you in the main group chat."

"..." Jiang Miao’s brow furrowed. He immediately opened the company’s group chat on his phone and quickly got up to speed on the situation.

It turned out that in early June, after the IT department had finalized the Hailufeng Specialty Store app, they had quickly launched a small-scale public beta.

A total of nearly 50,000 customers were invited to this public beta.

After more than half a month of testing, no major problems were found.

However, just this morning, Zhang Xinyi discovered that traffic to their store on Tao Net had plummeted. Furthermore, customers trying to contact customer service through Tao Net were experiencing abnormal delays of several hours.

Their stores on Pinduoduo and Gou Dong were also experiencing a sharp drop in traffic.

Clearly, the e-commerce platforms had discovered what Hailufeng Company was doing. They had started suppressing Hailufeng’s online stores to stop the company from diverting traffic to its own shopping app.

For now, only their stores on the Ah B Platform, Yinfu Platform, and WeChat remained unaffected.

Competitors are destined to be rivals. The three major e-commerce platforms had all made a move, unwilling to let a new competitor rise.

Jiang Miao’s expression remained perfectly calm; he had anticipated this. He immediately sent a system update package to Qin Xingzu, the head of the IT department, telling him to update the Hailufeng Specialty Store app with the package and take it live immediately.

Back at headquarters, Qin Xingzu and his team exchanged bewildered glances.

"Chief, what should we do?"

"Did the boss find another software development studio?"

Although Qin Xingzu felt a little stung, he knew he had to update the Hailufeng Specialty Store app. "Do what the boss says. Apply this update package to the current app."

The IT department team felt resigned. Faced with a direct order from the big boss, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and comply.

Soon, the update package was applied to the Hailufeng Specialty Store app. In the process, all the system’s hidden vulnerabilities were patched or sealed off.

Putting his feelings aside, Qin Xingzu immediately had the software testing team run a comprehensive diagnostic on the app.

The minutes ticked by.

「More than three hours later.」

They discovered that the updated app wasn’t just much smoother. When they tried attacking it with various hacking techniques, nothing worked. It was as if this wasn’t the app they had developed at all. All the backdoors they knew of had been sealed shut.

The result left Qin Xingzu and the members of his IT department utterly shocked.

It was a bitter pill to swallow, but they had to accept the reality of the situation. At the same time, they were secretly relieved.

Just as Jiang Miao arrived in the Capital City, the Hailufeng Specialty Store app officially went live.
