Chapter 126 Meeting
"Is it necessary?" Lu Qiao clicked on the tactical panel: "We have already protected the area around the cement plant, and the light mines and light nets have been deployed!"

Tangning smiled, "Wake up half an hour early tomorrow and come back? Why do you have to stay here?"

After speaking, click on the communication: "Qiuyi, I'm going back to Han'an tonight, and I'll come back tomorrow."

"Okay." Zhang Qiuyi immediately agreed: "The road from Weiyuan to Han'an has been cleared, there is no need to stay there. Han'an is safer, come back."

"Xiaozhi." After hanging up the communication, Tangning immediately explained.

"Eh!"

"Continue to work."

"it is good!"

The most urgent task is to restore the electricity in the mining area. Even on the way back, Tangning didn't intend to waste any time.

There is a photovoltaic charging panel on the back of Pluto Warrior, and transparent aluminum is installed on the surface, which can be used as a temporary shield. Tang Ning manipulated it in the ecological cabin and asked Pluto Warrior to remove the photovoltaic panel and use the last bit of sunlight to give the remaining automatic Charging the car.

The Pluto warrior himself took off his long knife and walked towards the command center of the mining area.

The command center adhered to the style of industrial and mining enterprises, and it was very durable. Tangning found the building's wireless power receiving unit, opened the armor panel on the chest, pulled out the wiring slot from inside, and plugged it into the bypass port: "Xiao Zhi."

"One minute." Xiaozhi and Tangning already had a long-term tacit understanding, which was actually a long-term working habit of the two.

In less than a minute, Xiaozhi adjusted the power supply of the command center, and then activated the door lock control system, easily opening all the doors in the control center.

This building includes not only the command center, but also a research institute and a library.

This is an advanced alloy processing enterprise integrating scientific research and production in the same period. Many materials were not uploaded to Skynet due to the need for technical confidentiality.

For example, for the blueprint of the mine culvert, Xiaozhi searched through the information left by Pauway Metal Co., Ltd. on Skynet, but found nothing.

However, Xiaozhi has all the legal relations of the company's controlling shareholder's property inheritance.

In other words, everything here, from the perspective of Skynet's legal relationship, already belonged to Tang Ning. He only needed to find a Skynet interface, and Xiao Zhi could unlock all the secret information here as the chairman of Skynet.

Now these materials are all in a storage center underground in the command center.

"Okay Dad!"

Tangning retracted the power line, restored the armor, and walked towards the command center.

The command center was well sealed. It seemed that the automatic cleaning device had been operating for quite a long time after the center was closed, and the cleanliness inside far exceeded Tangning's expectations.

However, there is only a power receiving device here, and the power transmission tower is located in the power plant in the industrial area. Tang Ning has no time to repair it.

The sky has become dark, and the Pluto warrior's low-light assist system has been turned on.

Pushing open the door leading to the underground computer room, Tangning walked in cautiously.

In the entire center, there is not a single undead person.

It seems that the owner of Powerway Metals has protected his property very well, but it is a pity that he has no life to wait until the day when the center is reopened.

Entering the computer room, there are countless Alliance and Peace II servers.

After finding the power supply unit, Tangning repeated the same trick. The Pluto warriors provided separate power for the computer room, and then restarted the computer room.

"Little Chi."

"Received! Authorizing access, Dad wait a moment."

The determination of Skynet's legal relationship is very complicated. To realize the authorized unlocking from virtual to reality, from top to bottom, a series of confirmations are required.

"Okay, let's start searching for valid information." Xiaozhi's voice sounded: "The data will be synchronized to Skynet Han'an Base."

The cheers from the Han'an base spread to the public channel, "Xiaozhi is great!" Zhang Qiuyi boasted happily.

"It's all thanks to my father!" Xiaozhi immediately began to nurse his father.

"Xiaozhi, can you send electricity to the tunnel through the system, and then access the server inside?"

"I'll give it a try." Xiaozhi said. In Tangning's personal window, countless circuit diagrams and engineering drawings immediately appeared, and finally it was frozen into a three-dimensional blueprint.

"The power transmission system has been damaged, and it is theoretically impossible to access the server inside the tunnel from the bypass."

Tangning was about to say it's okay, but Xiaozhi secretly said to Tangning in the private channel, "Dad, but you can try using the communication line to reverse charge the device."

"Huh? There is such a function?" Tangning had never heard of the function of charging each other through the communication line between the servers.

"This is a subsidiary function of the ancient information transmission protocol. It is used to provide power to portable storage devices. That module has not been canceled during the chip design, but it needs to be activated."

"?"

"The earliest storage devices, which only store five megabits of information, require a device the size of a small car. Of course, such a device needs to have a charging bypass to drive it alone."

"Later, the equipment gradually became smaller, but for a long time, the large-capacity storage required the server interface to provide power, and this design idea has not changed. After the rise of Skynet transmission, it has been useless, but the module has always been there. "

"Why was this module not canceled in the later design?"

"Because of the design cost, if you want to cancel this module, you need to redesign the manufacturing drawings. After the chip circuit is small enough to accommodate enough design redundancy, iterative upgrades are far more convenient and efficient than overturning and redesigning."

"That is to say, in the current server chips, there are still many completely useless garbage modules in previous designs?"

"It's not rubbish either." Xiaozhi giggled: "At most, it's just a 'zombie' module."

Tangning suddenly realized, "I told you why you are so good at archaeology, so it's because of this!"

Isn't that true? Tangning's own archaeology also relied on many old programs on old servers. Those ancient programs, in terms of the definition of system software, are actually of the same nature as the zombie modules Xiaozhi discovered - they all belong to the Skynet system useless stuff.

But they still exist, and you can still access some more "useless" things through them. With Skynet's terrifying storage redundancy, of course these things are completely allowed to stay in Skynet. This is the arrogance brought by "freedom of information" .

Xiaozhi did a better job than Tangning. He dug out these modules on the underlying hardware system, that is, the chip, and then used them to gain access to the upper-level programs.

Digging up ancient information from the bottom up is of course much more efficient than Tangning's digging down from the top.

"Be honest! How many loopholes have you discovered without telling me?" Tangning was about to press her.

"Success!" Xiaozhi's cheers sounded, and he said from left to right: "The server is located in the fourth benchmark working face of the mine, No. .”

"Are you able to access server content?"

"Yes, but the charging speed and information acquisition speed will be very slow, Dad, do you want to transplant a retrieval program to it?"

"Don't let it go, the ghost knows how much storage space there is, don't blow it up all at once..."

"Xiaozhi, try to contact the people inside."

"Okay! But the system is now in a low-energy standby state, and we have to wait."

"Tangning?" Zhang Qiuyi's voice sounded.

"Oh, Qiu Yi, how is the data reception going?"

"Still processing."

"Just now, Xiaozhi realized the function of supplying power to the server in the tunnel by activating a zombie module in the communication protocol. We are trying to contact the survivors inside."

"Even if you can't get in touch, you may be able to get some information inside the mine by accessing the server."

"Great!" Zhang Qiuyi said, "We are all in the control center, waiting for you to come back!"

The convoy rushed back to the base before sunset, and when Tangning arrived at the control center on the second floor, it was already full of people.

"Boss." Tang Lili waved immediately when he saw him.

"How's the situation? Where are they?"

"In the ecological cabin, there is a lot of information to be processed. They opened the Skynet Conference Hall, and Dean Wang and Secretary-General Pu are also there."

"Then I'll go up."

Entering the ecological cabin on the third floor, Zhang Qiuyi sent a conference room number. After Tangning clicked to accept it, the scene changed into a simple conference room.

"Tangning is back?" Pu Xiuquan saw Tangning, "Thank you."

"It's not hard." Tangning said, "Considering the strange situation in Lujia Town, and the message from the server in the tunnel reminding us to leave quickly, I decided to lead the team back, leaving only the drone and an automatic armored vehicle. and Hades warriors there."

On the generous table in the meeting hall, on the left is the tunnel map of the mines in Gulou Mountain that has been received, and on the right is the search information that is constantly flashing.

Inside the mine is a huge group of underground tunnels, which are divided into many working areas like Tacheng, the capital of Shu. Each working area has tunnels to connect the various working areas and living areas on the same floor.

"This is Director Guan Fang of the Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of the Interior." Pu Xiuquan nodded: "Director Guan, please introduce the situation."

Guan Fang was newly promoted by Liu Weiping, the old director of the Engineering Bureau after Jiang Dahai toppled him. Tang Ning had never met her before.

Guan Fang looked like a simple middle-aged aunt, and said after hearing the words: "The ancient Loushan vanadium-titanium deposit was a mine affiliated to Boway Metal Co., Ltd. in the same era."

"The business of Boway Metal Co., Ltd. is mainly mining of mineral deposits, smelting of advanced alloys, and processing and sales of related products."

"The mining of the vanadium-titanium ore in Guloushan, from the operating drawings, is a standard mining method for medium-sized ore deposits of the same era."

"This kind of mining method does not require a large amount, but continuous. It can continuously provide ore to industrial areas for a long time."

"Whether it is the data collected from the Tang team or the production scale reflected by the plant equipment in the pictures of the development zone, it is in line with this inference."

"Therefore, the Gulou Mountain Tunnel has a lot of space, energy storage equipment, perfect living facilities, communication conditions, the fourth benchmark working surface inside, and an on-site work command center."

"If there are still survivors inside that transmit information to the outside world through communication lines, the most likely transmission is from here."

"This is also consistent with the position on the engineering drawings of the server that Team Tang just activated the zombie module and accessed."
