Chapter 302 How is this possible
Roman has worked in the observatory for so long and has been exposed to many radio signals from outside the earth.

But this time it's markedly different.

The signal he discovered today is different from previous narrow-band electromagnetic signals, but may have technical traces, which further indicates the fact that it may come from extraterrestrial civilization.

As a scholar who firmly believes in the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, the discovery of such signals can be said to be a dream.

By deciphering the signal, he hopes to determine the position coordinates of the extraterrestrial civilization according to the direction parameters transmitted by the signal, and even start a dialogue with the extraterrestrial civilization to realize his great ideal.

Imagine.

If you can really succeed.

I believe the whole world will be shocked and crazy by his research.

So as to realize its own value meaning.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is only one thought left in Roman's mind right now.

That is to decipher this signal and write and publish this research as my own topic.

Let everyone know that his theory is correct.

Compared to Roman's almost mad state, the colleague who was also in charge of the detection task looked complicated, as if he was struggling with something.

half an hour.

He seemed to have finally made a decision, and suddenly blocked Roman's movement to decipher the signal: "Wait a minute for Professor Roman, I think it's better to report this news, and the higher-ups will decide whether to decipher this signal."

Quiller naturally had his own considerations when he said this.

They will find such signals from outside the earth after a while, but they are basically pulse signals sent by the planets themselves in the universe.

It has no effect on Earth.

Even if you try to decipher it, you can't get anything.

But this time it was different.

To make Roman so interested, maybe the source of the signal is really an extraterrestrial civilization.

If you try to decipher or even respond rashly, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble to the earth and stars.

Human beings have survived in the solar system for so long. Although there is a certain chance of luck, it is also inseparable from the limited technological level of civilization itself.

Its information is only circulated in the earth and stars.

Even if there is an alien civilization, it will be difficult to find.

However, with the rapid rise of science and technology in recent years, mankind has successfully overcome nuclear fusion technology and officially entered the level of first-level civilization, which also means that human civilization will be more easily exposed.

Before the interstellar combat power is formed, it should develop more steadily.

Dare to issue signals to the galaxies in the universe, which only shows that they are confident enough in their own strength, and their technological level is probably higher than that of human civilization.

If it is true that Roman deciphered the signal and responded privately, then the coordinates of the earth and stars will be exposed.

The local foreign civilization broke into the solar system in a mighty manner. Who can guarantee that human civilization can protect itself? No one will believe that the alien civilization expends energy to come to the solar system and provides help with the concept of friendship and mutual assistance.

Quiller couldn't be sure where things really were headed.

All he can do is to nip the danger in its infancy, and even if he really wants to decipher it, it shouldn't be a private act.

No one can afford this responsibility.

It's a pity that Roman didn't take Quiller's words to heart at all.

He wished to decipher the signal to prove his theory, but he didn't think about the consequences.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Roman, who was interrupted, stared at Quiller suddenly, with a hint of anger in his brows: "This is a good opportunity to prove my theory, and you want me to stop now."

It is no exaggeration to say that if outsiders were present at this time, judging by this scene alone, there is a high probability that the two will fight. Fortunately, there are not many people working in the observatory after it was rebuilt. This room is equivalent to the two of them. In the studio, there are basically no other people going in or out.

But I don't know what Roman thought of, and soon his attitude eased down first.

And try to control your emotions.

"Quiller, you know, I don't want to argue with you."

"As long as the two of us work together to decipher, I believe that the source of this signal will be determined, and it will not be too late to report."

Roman's idea is simple.

For him, the most important thing to do right now is to decipher the signal, but he knows that his level is limited.

In addition, there is no quantum computer like the Light of Longfor.

The only thing left to rely on is Quiller standing in front of him.

So in any case, he had to find a way to tie Quiller to his boat to improve the success rate and speed of signal deciphering.

Faced with such a choice, Quiller intended to refuse.

But thinking about it carefully, what Roman said made some sense. If he only deciphered the signal and did not respond, it would not cause any serious consequences.

What's more, it is their job to detect the situation of extraterrestrial stars.

So in this situation, Quiller finally boarded Roman's ship, despite the request: "I can promise you to participate in deciphering the signal, but if there is any result, it must be reported immediately."

"no problem."

Hearing the sound, Roman readily agreed.

that's it.

Then the two devoted themselves to the deciphering of extraterrestrial signals.

But none of them expected that just as the preliminary preparations were completed, when they were about to start deciphering, they found that their holographic screen equipment was out of control.

No matter what the operation is, there is no response from the device.

Even the Star Shield security program that comes with the device suddenly pops up a window to display an alert!
"what happened?"

"My device suddenly failed, suspected to be attacked by a virus program."

"Damn!"

"Why doesn't the safety protection program of Future Technology have any effect? ​​Find a solution quickly."

The sudden change made the two professors Roman Quiller panic, especially when Roman slapped the device uncontrollably with his palm.

The main signal is very important to him. If the data is lost due to equipment reasons, the loss will be huge.

But they can't do anything about it.

I can only watch helplessly as the device is eventually forced to freeze with a black screen.

His expression suddenly became dull.

They had already reached an agreement and were about to immerse themselves in it and start working, but the equipment was suddenly attacked by an unknown program virus.

It's just bad luck opening the door for bad luck.

Unlucky home.

It's like you have worked hard to cook a good pot of food, but just about to open the pot lid glass burst and fell into the pot.

It's as painful as it gets.

However, after a brief silence, a question mark appeared in both of their hearts at the same time?
Since the world's major mobile phone and computer brands have purchased holographic screens from Future Technology, computers have now become holographic terminal devices. In addition, the price of each brand is different, which can more comprehensively meet the needs of users at all levels.

As a result, only a small group of people in the world still use traditional computers.

However, due to the consideration of information security in the era of quantum computing, almost everyone will install the Star Shield security protection program released by Future Technology.

Ensure the security of your own equipment.

After all, after Star Shield has been upgraded many times by Xingtong, its protective function can be said to be abnormal to the extreme.

Looking at the entire planet, there is no attack that can break through the protection of the star shield.

But during their encounter just now, not only did Star Shield fail to exert any effect, it even directly forced the equipment into a dead state.

This was completely unimaginable before.

The key point is that there is no problem with their equipment, so where did this powerful virus program come from?

"It seems that the equipment has been completely scrapped, and the virus that can break through the protection of the star shield, is this really something that can be created on the earth?"

At this time, Quiller tried to restart the device. After finding that there was no response to his operation, he felt deeply worried and couldn't help but talk about his analysis and judgment.

Try to find out what the problem is.

But I don't know if Roman is too sensitive. After hearing this sentence, he immediately asked, "Queller, what do you mean by that?"

Visible hostility can be felt in the eyes.

Faced with such a bizarre incident, Queller would not care about Roman's attitude, and then stood up abruptly.

"What do you mean!"

"As soon as we started to decode the signal, there was a problem with the equipment. I am afraid that we have intercepted the signal from the extraterrestrial civilization as you wished."

"Hope things don't get too bad!"

Quiller's worries are not unreasonable. From the discovery and interception of this mysterious signal to the unidentified attack on the equipment, there is an inevitable connection between the two.

If the crash of the device was actually caused by this extraterrestrial signal, although it can be 100% confirmed that it came from an extraterrestrial civilization, it is unknown whether the situation will continue to deteriorate.

He doesn't want to be a sinner of the entire human civilization.

"What you said is impossible. It's just a coincidence." Roman pretended to be calm to refute Quiller, but under the calm appearance was actually panic.

After all, who would have thought that this mysterious signal could be triggered to obtain information on the earth and stars autonomously.

If he had known this, he would never touch this hot potato.

It would be better to hand it directly to the security building.

But now that things have happened, even if you want to restore it, you will be powerless.

Right now they can only hope that they are the only devices affected, or that this incident has nothing to do with the mysterious signal at all.

……

……

at the same time.

much poli.

In an Internet company, an employee who was using a holographic terminal device to work as usual, was about to submit the plan he had written, but suddenly found that he had lost the control authority of the device, and at the same time, the star shield popped up an alert window of an attack.

And as if in series, the devices in the entire company have black screens and crashes one after another.

In an instant, there was a lot of banging on the table.

"Shet!"

"What the hell is going on, why the device suddenly crashes."

"Damn it."

"Fake squid, I just made a plan."

What's even more frightening is that this situation is still rapidly spreading around Duopoli.

of course.

Future technology is not vegetarian either.

After several upgrades by Xingtong, Star Shield has now become a necessary installation program for holographic terminal equipment.

An emergency like today caused a large number of devices installed with the Star Shield security protection program to be attacked, and Xingtong would naturally receive the information immediately.

In addition, this is the most serious attack in recent years. In addition to mobilizing computing power to try to intercept and eliminate the virus program, Xingtong immediately reported to Xu Lei.

Because according to her calculations, this sudden incident was by no means as simple as it appeared on the surface.

-

"Academician Xu."

"These are some design drawings about the construction of the fusion power station in Jingzhou City, please have a look."

"If there is anything inappropriate, I will correct it immediately."

Jingzhou.

The temporary command center of the fusion power station.

Xu Lei, who was sitting on a chair, took the document from an engineer, and then lowered his eyes to read it carefully.

It has been more than a month since he came here from Binjiang City. In order to let the progress of the fusion power station project in Jingzhou catch up with the other two, Xu Lei did not return to Binjiang City this Spring Festival.

It is to make the three fusion power stations put into operation at the same time as possible.

In this way, enough influence can be obtained directly.

As a result, due to the problem of personnel experience, the Jingzhou fusion power station project has been continuously delayed.

This made Xu Lei not only have to enter the virtual world through the virtual helmet to train these people, but also have to go through the design drawings in person before he can rest assured.

Although this has put pressure on him in disguise, but in order to ensure the smooth operation of the Jingzhou Fusion Power Station, this is the only way to do it now.

Fortunately, there is Xingtong's mechanical body, which also helped him share a lot of pressure.

Otherwise, his body might not be able to sustain it.

After all, the physical strength of carbon-based life forms is completely incomparable with that of mechanical bodies.

Soon.

When Xu Lei roughly browsed the design drawing and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, he handed the document back without hesitation in his praise.

"No problem, just follow this implementation."

"Good academician Xu."

The engineer who took the document from Xu Lei became excited when he heard Xu Lei's affirmation of his work, and was a little taken aback before quickly nodding in response.

It is worth mentioning that the other party did not stay in the office for long.

It seemed that he wanted to devote himself to the work as soon as possible to repay Xu Lei's affirmation. After confirming that the design scheme was feasible, he turned and left.

It's just that Xu Lei has no time to be idle.

Just as he was about to take a sip of tea from the cup at hand, he saw Xingtong walking over again.

Without waiting for an inquiry, he immediately opened his mouth to report: "Boss, half a minute ago, many holographic terminal devices in the Duopoli area overseas were attacked by unknown programs, and the protection of Star Shield did not work."

"what?"

"It didn't work?"

Xu Lei, who was relatively relaxed at first, straightened up instantly after listening to Xingtong's report.

A look of doubt appeared on his face.

He is clear about the degree of security protection of Star Shield. Under Xingtong's active upgrade, it is logically impossible for a program virus to break through its protection.

This is why information and data have become more secure in recent years.

Otherwise, Star Shield will not be able to gain billions of users.

It has become a product with the largest number of online users under Future Technology.

But now such an invincible myth in the field of network security protection has been defeated.

And according to the information Xingtong said, it seems that the defeat is very complete, which is something Xu Lei finds it hard to believe.

So after quickly regaining his senses, he hurriedly asked about the specific situation.

"What exactly is going on?"

"How many devices were attacked in total, and were they successfully intercepted?"

Xu Lei clearly remembered that the birth of Xingdun was because the security building specially produced an enhanced version of ransomware for future technology, blocking the data information of domestic users.

It cannot be opened without the key.

For this reason, Xu Lei specially launched Xingdun with the help of Xingtong to restore the user's data information.

Later, for some reason, even overseas users were recruited in large quantities, which caused great losses to individuals and companies.

Faced with this situation, the other party had no choice but to open restrictions to allow Star Shield to go online in overseas markets.

As for the final result?

Xingdun successfully occupied the global market, but in terms of the security building, it was not worth the money, and suffered a dumb loss.

So after hearing the news that a device was under an unknown attack, Xu Lei's first reaction was to guess whether some overseas forces had created a new virus program.

But let's not talk about whether they have the level to develop a program to overcome the star shield's protection. Under normal circumstances, it should also break out in Binjiang City or other important cities. How can they beat their own people.

This is where Xu Lei is more puzzling.

However, being able to ignore the protection of Star Shield shows that this program is extremely dangerous, and the most urgent thing is to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.

Just as these thoughts flashed through his mind, Xingtong's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"The source of the virus program is unknown."

"According to Star Shield's feedback, the first device to be attacked came from the Arecibo Observatory."

"The number of damaged devices is 136."

"At present, the unknown program has been successfully intercepted, but it cannot be completely cleared for the time being, and we request to call a quantum computer to calculate and analyze it."

If Xu Lei was puzzled and surprised by this incident just now, then after listening to Xingtong's report, he was full of shock.

At one point, I even thought I had heard wrong.

Xingtong has gradually grown from the original artificial intelligence through the collection and analysis of massive data, and has jumped into a real intelligent brain program after manufacturing a quantum computer.

It can be said that her existence has helped human civilization achieve rapid development.

In Xu Lei's impression, there should be nothing that Xingtong can't do.

What's more, just clear a program.

But the actual situation is that Xingtong can't clean it up, and this is definitely not a product of the earth and stars.

"There is no way to clear it, how is this possible?"

After secretly calculating, Xu Lei felt more and more that the matter was not that simple, and in this case, no matter what, it must be completely cleared first, otherwise no one knows what emergencies will happen.

If the other party breaks away from Xingtong's interception, it will be more troublesome.

Now the affected devices are all ordinary holographic terminal devices. If the virtual helmet is also hacked, the consequences will be even more unmanageable.

With his thoughts running fast, Xu Lei didn't bother to think about the things behind him at this time, and even gave Xingtong the latest instructions.

"Agreed to call the quantum computer, this program must be completely cleared."

"Command received."

"Executing..."

Encountering such a special event, Xingtong also became very serious, and after receiving the order, he began to use the computing power of quantum computers around the world.

Because the intercepted mysterious program is too special, if we want to analyze it clearly, we can only rely on the huge computing power of quantum computers, and the faster the speed, the more quantum computers we need to invest.

It's just that many quantum computers are shouldering the heavy burden of maintaining the virtual world, and their computing power is suddenly forcibly transferred by Xingtong, which will inevitably lead to some users being forced to go offline.

Because the mysterious program was intercepted by Xingtong in time, the damage caused was relatively small, so no one talked about it on the Internet.

On the contrary, a large number of users were forced to withdraw from the virtual world and virtual games, causing dissatisfaction among some people.

In particular, most of the dropped calls are overseas users.

Previously, Future Technology set a three-day outage rule for the Spring Festival, which caused dissatisfaction among many overseas users. Now it is forced to go offline by the system for no reason, and the discussion on this matter on the Internet has become much louder.

Many people commented on Future Technology's overseas account, hoping that Future Technology will respond to this matter.

"Why was it forced to go offline again? Does Future Technology dislike the fact that there are too many virtual users?"

"Wang Defa, this is disgusting!"

"Future technology must give us an explanation."

"I've never seen users in their country forced offline, it's not fair."

"Future Technology is now a global technology company, but the quality of overseas services has not improved."

"I hope the person in charge of Future Technology can stand up and explain the situation."

……

For the current Xu Lei, all his heart is on the mysterious program, and he just waits for Xingtong to completely clear it up. As for the dissatisfied voices on the Internet, he doesn't care at all.

I have to say that quantum computers are indeed a great existence.

Under the deciphering analysis of these quantum computers, it didn't take long for Xingtong to completely control this mysterious program.

After duplicating its function, it will be cleared decisively.

"Boss, the program has been successfully cleared, this is part of the cracked information."

After briefly reporting to Xu Lei, the relevant information was then synchronized to the holographic screen for Xu Lei to view.

"Collect all kinds of data on the earth and stars, it seems that the situation is even worse than I thought!"

moment.

Xu Lei briefly browsed through the information on the screen, and immediately frowned, and couldn't help murmuring his worries.

The main function of this program is to collect various data on the earth and stars, and it can't even clear the star pupils directly. There is no more suitable explanation except that it comes from extraterrestrial civilizations.

The location where the key program first appeared was the observatory. It is not known whether the information was transmitted through the radio telescope after obtaining the equipment permission.

But in any case, there is a risk of exposure to human civilization.

It may even attract the coveted eyes of alien civilizations.

In fact, Xu Lei has considered this situation a long time ago. After all, humans have become a first-class civilization and have mastered nuclear fusion technology. It is inevitable to go out of the solar system and contact alien civilizations.

This is an inevitable stage in the development of civilization.

However, Xu Lei really did not expect that the first contact with an alien civilization would be in this way.

And completely passive, do not know any situation of the other party.

However, Xu Lei quickly adjusted his state, and his eyes became firm again. Even if an alien civilization really visits the solar system, he believes that relying on the science and technology museum, human beings can still stand on the top of the galaxy.
