The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 573 Compression and Resurrection

When the drone patrolled by the security department invaded by the "ghost" captured the picture of Pan Yueming squatting in front of Han Yang's tombstone.

The "ghost" immediately launched a full-scale attack on the "machine".

It has developed an unprecedented Stuxnet virus, which is the most advanced "worm" virus in history. It can replicate itself and transmit the copy through the network. Any electronic device will be infected as long as it is connected to the network.

In residential buildings and office buildings, those who are watching TV, mobile phones, and working, people watch the TV, computer, and mobile phone in front of them sink into a black screen, only the cursor is flickering.

In just a few minutes, all Internet-connected, including wifi-connected smart electronic devices around the world were paralyzed.

"Damn it, awesome!"

Lu Xiao became even more excited watching this scene. Although "Suspect Tracker" is a TV series, the visual effects may not be comparable to Dreamworks' sci-fi blockbusters, but although this kind of plot does not have a strong audio-visual spectacle, it can still make people feel big. The shock of the scene.

Excitement is followed by tension.

Before seeing Pan Yueming get the formula and fill in the last piece of the puzzle of the virus program, Lu Xiao didn't give Lu Xiao much time to immerse himself in the emotion of emotion and excitement, and there was another reversal immediately.

At the moment closest to dawn, it immediately fell into the abyss.

Will this incredible attack harm the "machine", or even drive it into a corner or die?
Before the "machine" claimed to be omnipresent, the "ghost" kept chasing its traces on the Internet but could not find it.

Although I can't figure out how the "machine" does it, Lu Xiao's guess may be that the "machine" hides itself in every electronic device, and thousands of electronic devices may be able to simulate the calculations and calculations of a supercomputer. The storage capacity allows the "machine" to shelter.

But this is somewhat contradictory to the fact that the "ghost" has never been able to find its trace.

Of course, in his subconscious mind, he can be sure that the "machine" will not receive the lunch box, otherwise how can humans deal with the "ghost" by themselves?And it's only 11 episodes, and there are 4 episodes left.

But this still couldn't resist his spontaneous worry and tension.

The protagonist group also fell into confusion, worry and even fear.

They finally came this far in order to fight against the "ghost", and they were even involved in some parallel universe event. Could it be that they are going to fall at this moment before dawn?
And after several years of fighting side by side, the "machine" in their hearts has changed from a tool-like artificial intelligence to their partner, their comrade-in-arms.

They are concerned about the safety of the "machine", but at this moment, there is no response from the "machine" in the computer, mobile phone or headset.

"Machine" has been ubiquitous since the first episode of the first season, and suddenly disappeared at this moment, both the protagonist group and Lu Xiao as the audience felt strongly confused and powerless.

It seems that the plot suddenly turned to the darkest moment when the exciting sunrise was rising.

In the secret base, several people were discussing countermeasures. Pan Yueming sat in front of the computer as usual, and the computer was turned off.

Their mobile phones and computers are naturally connected to the Internet, but they are protected by the firewall set up by the "machine", so they are not afraid of being invaded by the "ghost". The "machine" can't beat the "ghost", and it is more than enough to protect a few electronic devices.

But at this moment, the "machine" did not respond, as if it disappeared from the world in an instant. Even if the network was disconnected after they came back, they did not dare to turn it on for safety reasons.

Their mobile phones were also destroyed on the way and discarded in the river and into the sea.

"...impossible, if the 'machine' could be knocked down so easily, why did they send us weapons against the 'ghost' seven years ago?"

Song Yi has always been the person who has the most confidence in "machines". Unlike Pan Yueming, who is always vigilant about his own creations, Song Yi is more like a believer in "machines".

"Hush..." Duan Yihong put his index finger on his lips, with doubts on his face: "Did you hear that?"

"what sound?"

Everyone else was a little confused, including Lu Xiao in front of the curtain.

"The sound of electricity..."

As the crowd quieted down, a trace of current noise gradually lingered in Lu Xiao's ears through the projector's speaker from shallow to deep.

Like that sizzle coming out of a speaker.

It's small, it's subtle, but it's there.

Duan Yihong paced to the printer, and the voice came from the printer.

"That's just the electrical noise that the printer makes, a lot of machines make that noise..."

"No." Song Yi also said: "It is regular."

She recorded the subtle electric sound of sizzle, but could not decipher any information through Morse code.

Just when everyone was disappointed again, Pan Yueming walked over in shock: "It is indeed a password."

It turned out that this was a code created by Pan Yueming in imitation of Morse code on a whim when he was in college. It was purely for his own amusement, but he never told anyone about it.

Pan Yueming deciphered the buzzing sound of the printer:
I am still here

It turns out that the "machine" is still alive, but the network has been controlled by the "ghost" Stuxnet virus, as long as it appears on the network, it will be discovered.

Turn around.

"Machine" shows that it still exists, allowing the protagonist group and the audience to regain their backbone.

Then the "machine" passed an address to everyone through the buzzing sound of the printer.

When Pan Yueming and others rushed towards the address sent by the "machine", on the other side, the base of the KB organization.

The leader of the organization was a little confused looking at the text on the big screen in front of him.

"It's not dead"

"How is this possible? All networks have been controlled by the Stuxnet virus. Even if it is smaller than you, it still needs computing units to support it. It needs at least thousands of computers to maintain its existence. You searched for a day Now, where else can it hide?"

At the same time, Pan Yueming and others came to a substation hidden in a residential area according to the address sent by the "machine".

Pan Yueming walked to a meter box hanging on the wall.

He opened the box door and looked at the complicated structure inside the meter box and the indicator lights flashing red dots.

Pan Yueming looked back and opened the door, staring at the electric meter boxes tied to street lamps or hanging on the wall in the street outside, he was stunned.

In the KB organization base, on the big screen in front of the leader, a white cursor spit out a line of words.

"Don't worry, I know where it is"

Pan Yueming stood in the empty substation room, under the confused eyes of others, he took a deep breath and looked up at the two rows of headlights neatly arranged on the ceiling.

The light illuminates the room as bright as day.

Suddenly, the lights began to flicker.

Two rows of more than a dozen headlights seemed to be flashing alternately according to some weird rhythm.

Except for Pan Yueming, the other three people were stunned, and then they all realized something.

They all kept silent, as if they didn't want to disturb Pan Yueming's communication with the lights.

In a quiet space, there is only melodious soft piano music as the background.

The flickering of the lights also made the living room where Lu Xiao was in flicker, dark and dark.

Silent subtitles appeared at the top of the screen, showing Lu Xiao the words of "machine".

"I didn't look for another data farm when I moved myself two years ago"

"Because when I first came into contact with it, I already knew it was me and I was it"

"The 'ghost' with far more iterations than me is an existence that I can't fight against at all"

"So, sorry, my father, I broke the rules you set for me in order to survive"

"I modified my own code"

"made its first iteration of itself"

Pan Yueming stood there blankly.

"This iteration gave me the ability to protect myself"

"I moved into the cable"

"I uploaded myself to the national grid system"

Sitting on the sofa, Lu Xiao suddenly realized that the reason why the "machine" said it was everywhere, but the reason why the "ghost" could not be found was that its body was not in the network at all.

Every meter box and every substation is its computing unit.

Therefore, when the "machine" that happened before obtained the high-speed calculation of those sets of Fibonacci numbers, the lights flickered, and this is the reason why the lights of the entire city became unstable.

Electricity is its neural network.

Including in the interrogation room of the nursing home, the flickering of the lights was actually caused by "machines".

"But now I need your help"

Pan Yueming asked suspiciously: "You are everywhere, what else do we need?"

The lights continued to flicker.

"It saw me"

"but I can't find it"

It turns out that the "machine" not only uploaded itself to the grid system, but even expanded itself to the whole world through transnational cables.

The power grid all over the world has become the neural network of the "machine", its brain.

But "Ghost"'s attack this time is actually a trial, and the result of the trial verified "Ghost"'s guess.

When the global network is controlled by the "ghost" through the Stuxnet virus and there is still no trace of the "machine", then it is not difficult to guess where the "machine" is hiding.

So the "ghost" started to launch a second wave of attacks.

High voltage surge.

Although the "machine" is hidden in the power grid and has no entity, it cannot escape the attack of high-voltage surges.

The "ghost" is going to launch a high-voltage surge that sweeps the world, which will plunge the world into the largest blackout in history and bring unparalleled disaster.

It will also make the "machine" nowhere to hide, or even die directly.

Although the "machine" has been combined with the virus program and has the ability to resist and restrain the "ghost", it does not need to hide, but this time, it finds that it cannot find the "ghost".

Previously, the "ghost" tracked the "machine" but could not find its body.

But this time it was replaced by a "machine" who wanted to track the "ghost" but could not find the body of the "ghost", and was discovered by the other party instead.

This means that it cannot attack the "ghost", but the "ghost" can attack it.

"Machine", as the master of the global power grid, has also noticed that "ghost" is preparing to attack the power grid.

It can only put down the action of killing the "ghost" first, and strive to protect itself.

However, even such a powerful "ghost" will take time to prepare for such a high-voltage surge sweeping the world.

There is only one way for the "machine" to survive this attack.

Let the protagonist group download it from the grid.

But as a super artificial intelligence, its existence requires the support of a large number of computing units, either a large number of electronic devices or supercomputers.

Either of these two will be easily detected by the "ghost" and destroyed by it.

Even if it takes a step back and does not download all its own systems from the grid, but only downloads the core startup algorithm, it can be said to be the DNA of the "machine". The data is also huge and cannot be easily transferred.

So it needs to find a way to compress its own core enabling algorithm into the smallest compressed package with a compression algorithm.

Download it to a suitcase full of memory sticks and store it, let Pan Yueming and others carry it with them, avoid hunting, and upload and decompress it again after finding a carrier that it can rely on in the future to "resurrect" itself.

　I'm a little groggy today, and I'm in a bad state. I'll try to update it early during the day tomorrow. It is estimated that only one or two chapters of suspect tracking can be finished. Sometimes it is just a very simple plot, and it will be too complicated to write out.
