[Reward 3: Cash Reward - 50 million Huaxia Coins]

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback.

He had initially thought the system would continue to provide military or civilian technology, but this time it shifted to agriculture and healthcare. However, upon reflection, he realized that national security extends beyond defense; food security and public health are equally fundamental to a nation.

Super rice can provide China with more food, while the mental healing device can heal the suffering of countless families.

"Not bad," Lin Feng murmured to himself, a look of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Old Chen, Pangu is complete." Lin Feng walked to the encrypted communication station and connected the red phone. "Next, we may need the cooperation of multiple departments to arrest spies within the country."

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Chen's breathing clearly faltered.

After three seconds of silence, a voice came: "Finished?!"

Her tone was filled with disbelief and shock. As the person in charge who supported the entire project, Old Mrs. Chen knew the difficulty of this task—it wasn't ordinary artificial intelligence, but rather the ability to accurately identify the most skilled at disguising humans from a vast sea of ​​network data.

"It's done," Lin Feng replied confidently. "It has passed a million training tests with a false positive rate of 0.003% and a false negative rate approaching zero. Now, it needs to be validated in real-world scenarios."

"Good!" Old Chen's voice suddenly rose. "I will have all other departments cooperate with your operation. National Security, Public Security, Cyber ​​Security, military intelligence—all forces are on standby. Lin Feng, what level of authorization do you need?"

"Highest level." Lin Feng said without hesitation, "Pangu's identification results need to be translated into action orders immediately. The capture process must be synchronized and coordinated. Any delay could lead to the target escaping or destroying evidence."

"Approved!" Old Chen said decisively. "I will immediately convene an emergency joint meeting. Within two hours, all relevant department heads will be connected to your command system. Lin Feng, you will be the commander-in-chief for this operation."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

The call ended. Lin Feng took a deep breath and turned to face his team.

The hall had fallen silent, and all the experts were watching him. They knew that the theoretical verification was over, and the real test was about to begin—Pangu would face the enemies lurking in the shadows of reality.

"Everyone, Pangu has succeeded. The next step is to apply it in actual combat."

Lin Feng's voice echoed in the hall, calm yet powerful.

"Next, everyone will work together to operate Pangu at maximum capacity, monitoring the entire network and leaving no stone unturned. Remember, every target we find may be linked to the leakage of state secrets, the theft of scientific research results, or even a threat to the safety of people's lives."

His gaze swept across every face: "We've been preparing for this battle for six months. Now, it's time for Pangu to show his true strength."

"receive!"

Forty-seven voices responded in unison, without any hesitation.

The next second, Longyuan Base entered a state of maximum combat readiness.

Academician Zhou personally oversaw the core algorithm group, monitoring the system's operational stability; the data engineering group activated all data pipelines, and data streams from 73 major network hubs across China began to converge; the system architecture group focused intently on maintaining the underlying framework, ensuring the Tianhe supercomputer could perfectly handle the computing power; and the security verification group activated triple privacy protection locks to ensure that citizens' legitimate rights and interests were not violated.

Meanwhile, the three national security experts in the tactical application group have been connected to the national security department's real-time communication network.

"Pangu, activate full-domain monitoring mode," Lin Feng issued the final command.

In the center of the hall, the indigo phantom shone brightly.

Its body began to expand, transforming into countless streams of light that surged in all directions—a visual representation of the system's connection to network nodes across the country. Data, like rivers flowing into the sea, poured into the Longyuan base from every city, every base station, and every fiber optic cable.

On the screen, the monitoring map lit up quickly.

Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen... major city nodes gradually turned from gray to green. Ten seconds, thirty seconds, one minute.

Three minutes and twenty-two seconds later, the entire map of China lit up in green.

"Full-domain access complete." Pangu's voice rang out calmly. "Current number of monitored network nodes: 8.73 million. Real-time data processing capacity: 9.4 PB per second. Target recognition engine: operating at full power."

Lin Feng nodded: "Begin the first round of scanning."

There were no earth-shattering sounds, no dazzling light effects.

But in the invisible cyberspace, an unprecedented hunt has begun.

Pangu's algorithm is like the most sophisticated probe, penetrating every corner of the data. It analyzes abnormal interaction patterns on social media, deciphers the metadata characteristics of encrypted communications, tracks the hidden paths of financial transactions, and compares contradictions in spatiotemporal trajectories.

Clues that would take human analysts weeks or even months to discover, Pangu can uncover in milliseconds.

In the first minute, the system flagged 137 low-risk suspicious targets—most of whom were online trolls, rumor spreaders, and low-level information brokers.

Lin Feng glanced at it: "Record and archive it, then hand it over to the Cyberspace Administration for routine processing."

In the third minute, Pangu's recognition engine lit up a yellow warning for the first time.

"An abnormal encrypted communication pattern was detected. The location is Pudong New Area, Shanghai. It is associated with three overseas IP addresses. The communication content is deeply encrypted. The behavior pattern matches category 47 of the spy network feature database."

On the holographic projection, a point of light began to flicker.

The national security experts in the tactical application team immediately retrieved the file for the coordinates: "The target area is a cluster of foreign-invested enterprises, with seventeen companies involved in high-tech fields operating there."

"Analyze the patterns in communication timing," Lin Feng ordered.

Pangu instantly retrieved the target's data records for the past three months: "Communication times were all between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. Beijing time, with each session lasting no more than 90 seconds. The intervals were random but followed a Poisson distribution. The frequency increased by 40% in the past week, and after one communication attempt failed last night, the backup channel was immediately switched to."

"A typical tactic to evade surveillance." The national security expert's eyes narrowed. "This is a professional intelligence officer."

Lin Feng nodded: "Mark as a Level A target, perform correlation analysis."

Pangu began to expand its search radius, starting from this coordinate to look for related individuals, fund flows, and intersections in social networks.

Five minutes later, a small network of relationships unfolded on the screen—seven related individuals, three shell companies, and two cross-border funding channels.

"Preliminary assessment indicates this is a commercial espionage network, possibly targeting the Shanghai semiconductor industry," a national security expert quickly concluded. "We recommend immediately initiating in-depth surveillance to obtain a complete chain of evidence."

"Approved." Lin Feng noted down the target group's number.

This is just the beginning.

In the fifth minute, Pangu marked an abnormal signal source near a research base in Northwest China.

In the seventh minute, covert data transmission across the firewall was detected in the southern border region.

In the twelfth minute, multiple intelligence transmission nodes disguised as normal business transactions were discovered in the major industrial city in Northeast China.

Each tag is accompanied by a detailed analysis report from Pangu: behavioral feature matching degree, risk rating, correlation network graph, and the type of intelligence that may be stolen.

Lin Feng processed this information methodically. Low-risk targets were handed over to routine departments, while medium- and high-risk targets were subject to in-depth tracking. Under his command, Pangu moved with perfect precision and efficiency.

Thirty minutes later, the first round of scanning was completed.

The national security expert in the tactical application team looked at the compiled data and gasped: "84 Class A targets, 217 Class B targets, and 392 Class C targets have been marked. This is only the first round of basic scanning..."

Lin Feng looked at the numbers with a solemn expression.

Although he was mentally prepared, seeing such a vast network of infiltration still shocked him. These targets were scattered throughout the country, infiltrating all walks of life, like an invisible net covering the land of China.

"Continue the in-depth analysis," he ordered in a deep voice. "Pangu, activate the multi-target association mode and search for hidden connections between these marked targets."

"Command confirmed."

The indigo phantom expanded once more, with countless filaments of light weaving and intertwining within the data space.

This time, Pangu no longer analyzes each target in isolation, but treats them as part of a larger network. Communication patterns, fund flows, social interactions, and spatiotemporal overlaps—all dimensions are analyzed simultaneously and in relation to each other.

An hour later, an amazing result emerged.

The 693 targets that originally seemed to be scattered gradually revealed the structure of six large networks through Pangu's correlation analysis.

The largest network is concentrated in economically developed regions, targeting as many as 187 individuals and linking seventeen foreign intelligence agencies, primarily targeting high technology and trade secrets.

The second network infiltrated the fields of scientific research and education, targeting 132 people, and its behavioral patterns showed that it had been stealing cutting-edge scientific research results for a long time.

The third network is active in the border region, targeting 89 people and involving national security and military secrets.

Fourth, fifth, sixth...

Each network has a clear organizational structure, division of labor, and transmission chain. Pangu even analyzed the command hierarchy and emergency response of some networks.

"There are weak connections between these networks." Academician Zhou pointed to several thin lines on the analysis diagram. "Look here, the funding channels of the third and sixth networks intersect, and a target in the second network and a target in the first network appeared in the same location at the same time—this may be collaboration or personnel movement between networks."

Lin Feng stared at the six large nets that were gradually becoming clearer on the holographic projection.

In a single day, thousands of spies were exposed.

This figure is astonishing, but considering China's population of 1.4 billion and the attraction of its rapid economic and technological development to foreign forces in recent years, it seems to make sense.

"This is just the result of the first day," Lin Feng muttered to himself. "Given enough time, all of China's spies will definitely be found."

He turned to look at the communications station, where the red telephone indicator light was flashing—the joint meeting promised by Elder Chen was ready.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Phase One is complete." Lin Feng's voice echoed throughout the hall. "Now we begin Phase Two: securing evidence, coordinating operations, and swiftly apprehending the suspects."

In the hall, everyone's eyes turned sharp as knives.

The indigo light of Pangu illuminated every resolute and focused face.

The hunting in cyberspace has yielded results; action in the real world is about to begin.
