Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 971 DesireのStruggle

In addition to the good news, there is also a lot of disturbing news.

Sitting in the dark office, Chen Yan didn't feel the slightest gloomy feeling, but was hot all over.

He locked the office door, came to the desk, sat on the boss chair, and closed his eyes.

The next moment, the quantum clone opened its eyes in the network.

'Since the situation is getting tense, I have to make some preparations...

Let me see... the IP addresses of the other two Xun Kuang elements...'

Chen Yan recalled the IP address left by the wish, and quickly imported it into the ocean of data in the online world, heading towards the direction of the IP address.

……

……

At this moment.

The interface between the BIOS and the deeper world.

Wish looked at the endless sea, and the thinking in his mind never stopped.

'The other side of the sea... is the BIOS? '

'That's not the case, the BIOS is closed, and even the driver cannot be directly accessed, let alone this sea. '

'So, what is this sea? '

Wish left the [cemetery] as a driver—that is, the [bridge], but she did not go away. She was full of curiosity about the BIOS, which is actually the "bottom world", and this curiosity drove her to make such a dangerous thing--

She crossed the [bridge], stepped on the beach full of octopus, and stepped on the surface of the deep sea where the octopuses came from, towards the direction of BIOS, and started a seemingly endless journey. penance.

The sea is endless above the sea surface, and the sea water below the sea surface is as turbid and dark as the sea water in this world. Wish has seen countless black afterimages wandering below the sea surface. move.

Wish probably knew what those things were, so she wasn't afraid.

She didn't know how long she had been walking. The time here seemed to be much longer than other places. She just kept walking until the sea water became hot, until the hot sea water became cold, until it became cold. The sea froze until a large ship stuck in the ice appeared on the ice.

This looks like a steam-powered ferry. The exterior of the entire ferry has been corroded in a bad way, and it doesn't look like there are people on board.

Wish looked around, and suddenly remembered, isn't this the ferry that Chen Yan took to the empire?
What does such an abstract concept represent?
She looked around at the frozen sea for an unknown number of miles, hesitated for a moment, and boarded the boat anyway.

Most of the deck has been decayed, exposing the dark cabin, hoping to look in through the holes on the deck, and even see some dead bones in the cabin.

She found the cabin where Chen Yan was at the beginning with anxiety, and was relieved when she saw that there were no dead bones wearing Chen Yan's clothes in the cabin.

'At least Chen Yan is true. ' she thought.

She went up to the top of the building next to the huge ship building, and saw an old captain holding a wine bottle sitting next to the mast used as a flagpole. The old captain was wearing a black and white shabby captain's uniform, and the color on his body was very faded. The action also experienced serious freezes and dropped frames. It seemed that enough program errors and bugs had accumulated, so that there was only one action that could be completed now—the black and white old captain holding a black and white cuboid metal The wine bottle drank the dull wine one mouthful at a time with a mechanical movement.

Wish came to him, grabbed the wine bottle in his hand, and drank the rest of the wine in a few gulps.

The old captain raised his bewildered eyes, saw that his wine had been drunk, and cried out with a "wow".

'Hmm, finally it's not completely scrapped, but it can still be used. '

Wishing to drink up the wine in a few sips, threw the bottle into the sea with his hands, took two sips to the side, and cursed:
"It's a shame to take out any cat urine for people to drink!"

When the old captain heard her voice, his eyes shifted from the wine bottle to her face, and his eyes gradually focused.

"You, you... what are you doing!"

Wish looked at this person and greeted him like an old friend:

"Aren't you bored here?"

Speaking of heartache, the old captain sighed, with a vicissitudes of tone:

"It's boring if you say it's boring, and it's not boring if you say it's not boring. Looking at the sea every day is also considered comfortable."

Wish deconstructed the old captain with his own unique vision, and asked at the same time:

"Have you thought about going back?"

Speaking of "going back", the old captain suddenly became a little depressed:

"I...I'm too old to be of much use. Even if I go back, I'll drag others down...I...I don't really want to go back."

Wish sat down next to him and rubbed him with his shoulder:

"Don't be so sad! I think your algorithm is quite concise and the functions are quite efficient. As long as you are willing to go back, there must be a place for you in the driver core!"

The old captain's eyes began to shine:
"Really... really? Will they... welcome me back?"

Wish nodded vigorously:

"They must really want you back!"

Excited, the old captain got up suddenly, and the old captain's uniform on his body was completely new!
"Okay...Okay! Let's go back then!"

The old captain's voice fell, and the colors spread from under his feet with him as the origin. In a moment, the whole ship was no longer pure black and white, the damaged deck was restored to its original state, and a new layer of paint appeared on the rusted parts!
'Very good!This old guy can still run on the iterated BIOS! '

With the hoarse roar of the steam turbine engine, a white with black and thick gray steam gushes out from the central chimney of the ferry. Disperse.

During the violent shaking of the ship, as the last shadow was dispelled from the bottom of the ship, a large number of crew members appeared on the deck in the vision of wish. In the second roar, it started to move towards the deepest part of the frozen world.

……

……

When the quantum avatar passed through the sea of ​​data and arrived at the end point where the IP address left by the wish was, Chen Yan had already passed through several firewalls that were more stringent than any he had encountered before, and some secrets protected by some strange and maze-like encryption methods. server gateway.

'The Internet technology in this world is getting more and more advanced. '

Chen Yan felt a little pressure. The Internet technology in the world is constantly advancing, but the ability of the quantum clone is inherently unchanged. One day, the programming skills mastered by the programmers on the Imperial Internet will exceed the capabilities of the quantum clone. All Chen Yan can do is sit still and wait for death.

'Well, that hasn't happened yet. '

As long as you don't encounter the kind of "godly programmer" who "killed" the quantum clone in Yanan City, the quantum clone can still be able to live like a fish in water in the online world.

As Chen Yan walked along the network cable, he observed the physical address of the server and was constantly surprised.

While advancing in the online world, what he actually passed was the physical server of the imperial capital——with the server’s security encryption level constantly improving, he first entered the non-core server through an outsourced labor dispatch agency of the imperial government, and then entered the non-core server. Through the mobile phone of a certain important person connected to the server, he followed the clues and entered an encrypted server private domain—this may be a department with a security level in the empire—after obtaining more IP addresses and information in the server private domain, he Got few accesses to target IP.

The farther he advances, the closer he is to the core of the empire. The traceability of the IP address narrows the search radius until it converges on one point—Chen Yan is sure that this is a large water-cooled core server in the capital of the empire, because The server was established in the underground waters under a certain mountain in the imperial capital, and the ecology of the underground waters has been severely damaged, causing a very tragic and vicious supernatural phenomenon to appear in the area——Chen Yan discovered that the latitude and longitude of the physical address began to remain unchanged, and the altitude began to rise rapidly high.

During this process, he captured some physical addresses through the network cable, and found that he was actually inside the airport of the logistics center of the imperial capital—a logistics center airport that was much smaller than the mechanical hive of Days Island, and it was not open to civilian use.

Even inside this server, there are encrypted links everywhere, which caused great inconvenience to Chen Yan.

Fortunately, the quantum avatar was able to pass this level of encryption—it was nothing more than kicking open the door to squeezing in through the crack of the door—Chen Yan followed the network cable all the way up, and the altitude quickly climbed to over 4 meters.

From here, the words [STR-number] began to appear in the server domain name. Chen Yan knew that he had entered the numbered Starlink military base space station of Stavor Heavy Industries.

After entering outer space and raising the altitude to 5 meters, the coordinates can no longer be defined by latitude, longitude and altitude. Chen Yan can only use the space station code of Stavor Heavy Industries to judge his distance from the surface.

After the word STR appeared in the server domain name, the encryption level inside the server once again climbed, and various types of firewalls were almost everywhere, and some IP addresses were actually patrolled by administrators.

Chen Yan was very puzzled, what were they trying to prevent?
Anti-hacking?It is possible, but do ordinary hackers dare to hack into such a deep place in the server?This is a military server endorsed by a violent organization, and can easily obtain all the addresses connected to the server. After hackers come in, it is the same as parading around without clothes. Even if the physical address of the hacker is assigned to the street police department, they can Easily destroy its physical body.

There is a very puzzling [mutual defense] situation between Starlink space stations - the data inside the server is interoperable, but it will be intercepted when passing through all server gateways, and will be manually screened and checked by programmers - this It must consume a lot of manpower, and it is prone to mistakes-there is nothing more prone to mistakes than manual work.

'Why not let the data life do these things? '

Another thing Chen Yan noticed was that there was no data life here.

'According to what I wished to say before, the space station on Starlink was built by big companies. With such a terrifying technical force, why not study your own big data model, or use the data life in the Turing chip to manage it?Wouldn't that be efficient and not prone to problems? '

Chen Yan couldn't figure it out, and couldn't find any relevant answers from the server.

Probably after the code after STR reached 200, Chen Yan arrived at the location of one of the IP addresses left by the wish.

From the camera, this seems to be an ordinary military base. Like all overseas military bases of the empire, it has lazy soldiers, a relaxed living environment, and ubiquitous coffee machines and coffee beans.

'It's not well defended here...not even patrolling soldiers. '

Chen Yan changed several cameras, and can probably confirm that this base is located near the parent star as the first endpoint, and the moon as the second endpoint extends in the direction of the ray, and the distance from the moon is farther than the direction from the moon to the parent star. There are a lot of them, and it probably covers a small area, less than 3000 square meters...about half the size of a football field?

The various parts of the base cannot form a regular geometry, so Chen Yan cannot calculate the specific size of the base from what he has seen.

Another reason why Chen Yan can only pass estimates and does not know other data of the base is that he did not hack into the core server of the base, but only observed through the camera part by disguising the code, and did not try to obtain specific data of the base .

' Another weird programmer. '

A certain programmer wearing ring glasses—what looked like a glass hood—was sitting in the server room in the central part of the base.

This is supposed to be the location of the military chief, but now it is taken over by the server room.

'This programmer with strange glasses... must be the military chief of this military base. '

Chen Yan was able to confirm that it was glasses because there were flowing images on the ring-shaped glass. Those images flashed by, but they were still captured by the surveillance camera, and then were seen by Chen Yan in the camera.

'This military base looks like it was prepared for some kind of hacker. '

Chen Yan was born with this absurd idea.

'But what hacker in this world would dare to hack into the Empire's Starlink server? '

He quickly thought of himself—maybe there are other people in this world who possess [Quantum Entanglement] like him.

'[Quantum Entanglement Communication] comes from Ice Blue Memory Fragments... Maybe other people in this world also got some Ice Blue Memory Fragments, and then learned [Quantum Entanglement Communication]? '

'Maybe there are other... like me, who are both data life and carbon-based life? '

'Or maybe...'

Chen Yan couldn't determine a fact through such groundless fantasies.

'Speaking of which, that IP address is interrupted here, which room should I go to find that Xunkuang element...'

Chen Yan could only observe the cameras one by one.

During the observation process, Chen Yan discovered that the data processing speed of the quantum clone had changed compared to before.

When he first appeared in the online world using his quantum avatar, the speed at which the quantum avatar processed data was quite fast, and there was almost no delay from receiving orders to processing them.

But now, the data processing speed of the quantum avatar is much slower than before, especially after entering the Starlink space station with dense firewalls and encrypted server gateways, the data processing speed of the quantum avatar (such as the speed at which Chen Yan shuttles through the network cable) ) has been repeatedly limited, until now, it has infinitely approached the average speed of normal data transmission in the server.
