I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

For the base, the New Year's Day in 2018 was quite uneventful.

The warning signal sent back by "Lihuo" had only arrived two or three hours ago, but it had already caused the entire space department and high-level officials to take action.

At 1 o'clock in the morning, all the executives who could arrive had gathered in the underground computing center.

The latest generation of Xingchen-3 supercomputer was originally designed to cooperate with the OGAS2.0 system. It uses a mixture of tens of thousands of X32055 and X32065 chips. It surpasses the previous two supercomputers in terms of number of processors and computing power. Its theoretical comprehensive performance Already considered number one in the world.

But the most important thing for supercomputing is the architecture. Relying on the unique architecture of Xingchen 3, the "Shanhai" artificial intelligence has undergone countless iterations, which has far exceeded the current world.

Its superior performance is not reflected in chatting with people, but in its silent but pervasive penetration of the Internet. Although the base has no intention of controlling the Internet, it is also slowly using the global satellite network to encroach on various important server network.

This comes from Shanhai’s special study of the Internet of Things during the implementation of the OGAS system. A large number of processing equipment in the base still comes from suppliers around the world. If you want to achieve fully automated production, you must connect the various equipment together. OGAS These are the biggest obstacles to implementation.

Nowadays, almost all Internet-connected devices in the world are exposed to the "mountain and sea". Only a very small number of them are physically isolated or can be considered safe by means of preventing breaches in principle.

For example, if a digital encryption of more than ten digits is encrypted, as long as the user does not leave password traces on the networked device, no method other than a quantum computer can violently crack it, and Star-3 is certainly far from capable.

Therefore, it is impossible to directly break into the servers of the Hexagon Building, but it is still easy to use the powerful collection and screening capabilities of AI to monitor the emails, text messages, chat records and other contents of certain important people.

After all, it is unlikely that those elite senior officials are old enough to learn complex network security measures. In the past, it might have been okay. For example, Xiao Hei, the former commander-in-chief, simply used a feature phone. Now, it is impossible for these people to be isolated from the Internet no matter what.

"How much longer?"

Ye Changsi frowned and looked at the various screens in front of him. There were no blue and green patterns like those in science fiction movies. Instead, they were windows that looked extremely old and messy. It was impossible to directly use the progress bar to determine the degree of hacking.

"Well... there is still more than half of the database, it will take at least another hour and a half."

The person in charge here gave an approximate time. "Shanhai" screened possible relevant people based on the requirements they entered, and then went through their private data in the last 14 days to screen them one by one. There were tens of thousands of objects. In order to be very accurate, needs time.

And the more important thing is to keep it secret. Even if you are discovered, you probably won't be able to trace it back to the base, but it's not a bad thing to be careful.

The empty computer room was originally maintained at 20 degrees by the air conditioner. In this short period of time, the temperature rose three degrees. Even through the iron door in the control room, the noise of the exhaust fan running at full speed could be heard. The instantaneous power of the supercomputer increased rapidly. .

Such an environment made Ye Changsi even more irritable, and finally calmed down and asked Xiao Gangtian:

"How's it going? How...how far have you reached?"

He originally wanted to ask if it was definitely discovered, but since the AI ​​of "Lihuo" has issued a BBB level alarm, the expected trigger conditions indicate that it is highly targeted.

"We're not sure yet, but they probably haven't locked onto us. After all, in theory, 'Lihuo' is only halfway there... But it shouldn't have anything to do with Plain Zero."

Xiao Gangtian mainly focused on Plain Zero. It would be fine if he suspected 'Li Huo', but it would be really devastating if Ami discovers the secret of Plain Zero first.

For its own safety, "Lihuo" also kept close surveillance of the eight artificial satellites of Mars, selected window periods when sending signals, and recorded their signals.

Xiao Gangtian read the logs of the past two weeks and found that the activities of several NACA detectors that started 10 days ago were suddenly very intensive. After analysis, the possibility of targeting the surface of Mars was not high, and they were conducting space exploration most of the time.

"Lihuo" has packaged and sent back all the content it considers valuable, and the base has no plans to risk waking it up. The few people can only wait anxiously for the results of "Shanhai".

When it was almost three o'clock in the morning, everyone felt that the surrounding background noise suddenly shrank a lot. "Shanhai" had completed the collection task, and the summary results were displayed.

The person in charge of the computing center hurried forward and saw that "Shan Hai" listed multiple keywords, suspicious persons and communication records in sequence. The most important thing was that it did not trigger any countermeasures. This was a perfect secret infiltration.

"Keyword: 'M' occurrence count: 264, coverage range: 55, relevance determination 84.354%;

Keyword: ‘signal’, number of occurrences: 1054, coverage of persons: 287, correlation determination 81.021%;

Keyword: ‘misfortune office’, number of occurrences: 12, coverage of personnel: 3 (AAAAAA level personnel), relevance determination: 77.198%;

…”

"Mountains and Seas" lists all related doubts according to the degree of correlation, and the suspicious objects are also marked in red, which means that more detailed targeted investigations can be conducted.

The dense information is organized into a very intuitive table, which looks effortless, and it is easy for even non-professional intelligence personnel to conduct summary analysis.

This was the first time that "Mountain and Sea" showed its potential on the other side, which made everyone marvel.

Although security agencies in various countries have experts who can steal this information, only "Shan Hai" can achieve such a broad coverage and conduct independent analysis and sorting.

While being shocked by it, everyone also hurriedly analyzed it. It took only ten minutes to connect the various doubtful points, and gradually obtained a result that was close to the truth:

The source of the frequent activities of several NACA Mars probes comes from the "Office of Doom", which should be a code name. It may represent a department or a person, and "Office of Doom" is very closely related to "M", and "M" "According to the traces before and after, it seems to have replaced "signal". According to the communication records, these two keywords should refer to the same thing.

Let’s look at the ordinary employees of NACA among the suspicious persons. Two of them are from the public “Group A” and were transferred after receiving a certain task. There are traces of tampering in their chat records for seven days.

"So... they found an abnormal signal, and it is most likely the signal of 'Lihuo', but they are not sure who it is."

"Not only that, but they are also connected to aliens?"
