nonexistent experiment

Chapter 22
Since Sun Sijie analyzed that the system problem might be caused by an intrusion that night, he started to investigate early the next morning.

In the first step, he contacted Burt Nasr, director of the security control department of Insai Smart Firewall.After exchanging pleasantries, Sun Sijie went straight to the point. Given his current status and right to speak within the group, Navis also had no reservations about him and knew everything.

Through the conversation, I learned that the firewall of Insai Smart uses the most advanced quantum encryption technology at present. Sun Sijie doesn't know much about this. Security keys are completely out of the question.

Moreover, according to Nasr, Insai Intelligence upgraded the most critical QKD technology as early as a year ago, which can be said to be a unique innovation in this field.This technology has not applied for a patent, and the purpose is to maintain absolute technical exclusivity. Insai Intelligence is worried that once its technology is announced, this technology will be used in national security technology, and in this way, the technology will be lost. uniqueness.

In the end, Nasr also revealed to Sun Sijie that this technology belongs to the highest level of confidentiality within the company, and there is no third person who can touch the essence of the technology except him and the president.Originally, the director of research and development should also know, but after Jem Johnson was fired by the president, no one has replaced him, and Sun Sijie has not officially taken over the position, so he has not mentioned it to him for the time being.Now that Sun Sijie is a big hit in the company and also the special person in charge of the development of the epidemic M, Nasr no longer hides it from him.

It seems that the possibility of going through the Insai hardware firewall in the first step no longer exists.However, just to be on the safe side, Sun Sijie did a thorough self-check on his system in the second step. He found that if he could successfully pass through Insai's firewall system, he would have to hack into his system and even tamper with data. It's not impossible.

Although his core code content is still firmly in his hands, as long as this part of the content is not changed, it is not particularly difficult to make changes to its environment modeling or external associated data. matter.However, it is obviously inappropriate to perform system-level patches or corrections in the current actual measurement environment.First, such a system-level upgrade may also bring other unknown risks, and second, it will inevitably attract questions from the R&D team, especially Yu Yunlong. Sun Sijie has concerns about this.What's more, the current experiment is going very smoothly. According to the progress of the experiment, the progress of the experiment is basically over half, and it will not be impossible to take precautions after the experiment is completed.

The most important thing is that Sun Sijie is not completely sure that this must be man-made damage. From the most direct reason, the biggest possibility is that there is a problem with the embedded program of the nano-cells, which caused this phenomenon to happen.But it has been running for so long, why did it happen at this time node?Maybe it was just a coincidence, Sun Sijie comforted himself.

In the end, he still called the Nano Cell Company as a staff member of the Epidemic M Research and Development Center, and asked whether they could carry out secondary development of the provided nano cells.Since he didn't say the real reason and it was limited to the authority of the staff, Nano Company just responded briefly, which can be summed up in three words: Impossible.

In fact, the reason is very simple and clear. This is the core technology of Nanometer Company. Since the establishment of the company, there has been no precedent for opening it to anyone. The company can customize according to user requirements, but it is impossible for users to perform the so-called secondary technology. develop.This kind of custom modification has a strict "authorization" system even within their own company.

After several steps of investigation and analysis, Sun Sijie was still ignorant of how the intruder broke through layers of protection and then carried out the intrusion.In addition, Sun Sijie also couldn't figure out that after the intruder racked his brains so hard and did so many impossible things, was it just to make a few leaves in the system fall?This is obviously not in line with common sense, but if it is not, then after such a long time, there has been no further action, so what is going on?
In the end, Sun Sijie temporarily gave up on further investigations. Since he couldn't find the current problem, why not add a tracking code to the system, so that even if a similar situation occurs in the future, the intruder can be traced in time.

In this way, Sun Sijie installed a piece of tracking code in his own system, so he didn't pay too much attention to this issue.

In the central hall of the epidemic research and development center, the central screen displays:

Number of virtual grams: 101673
Current trial phase: I/III
Real-time system flow rate: 1 day in the system / 4 hours in reality
Phase I test duration: 180 days for the system/30 days for the real world

当前试验时长：系统128天 09:45:03 /现实21天 09:37:31
Test progress: 71.11%
What "Rimworld" shows:
Current experimental groups: 34
Current test reagents: 4 groups

Number of test subjects injected: 70128
Number of abnormalities found: 29
Number of restarts: 6
Number of immune antibodies: 70063
The progress of the development of the epidemic can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds. After the BDV-021-6A reagent has been continuously improved by scientists from many countries, the immune response rate in the experimental gram L has reached more than 99.8%. On this basis, the environment in the experimental gram L body has also maintained a stable state.

Moreover, the process of this immune response to the recognition, activation, proliferation and differentiation of antigen molecules, and to produce specific immune effects is very rapid.The recognition stage, response stage, and effect stage of the immune response performed very well. In the case of no significant mutation of the current virus, the clearance and destruction rate of the antigen is quite high.

Based on the above experimental results, the Epidemic M R&D Center of the Global Federation plans to shorten the original 180 days of the first phase to 150 days, and at the same time adjust the follow-up experiments.

In the just-concluded Global Federation Epidemic Development Conference, experts from various countries were extremely excited, and everyone showed high emotions.This also includes Yu Yunlong. On the surface, he still maintains a serious and calm expression in the past. In fact, his heart is more joyful than anyone present. His nerves have been tense these days. If this continues, he He didn't know how long he could hold on, but fortunately, the experiment had made significant progress, so he had a chance to relax.

Of course, Yu Yunlong will not be too excited after all. At the end of the meeting, he issued the latest target instruction, which is to continue to make further experimental improvements to BDV-021-6A, and strive to achieve 100% immune response rate in the first stage. And make a good plan for the second phase of the experiment.

At the same time, Sun Sijie was once again praised by all parties at the meeting, and everyone gave him approving looks. Even during the live connection with the Secretary General of the Global Federation, he mentioned his name in public, calling him "Young and promising are the pioneers of young people in this era!" Without the whole plan proposed by him and the system guarantee provided by him, the experiment would not be able to achieve such success at this stage.Sun Sijie's mood, which had been suppressed due to system problems, was instantly reversed by these compliments, and even the last worry was thrown out of the blue.

But the good times don't last long
Just two days after the epidemic M development meeting, Sun Sijie was still lying sleepy at her desk, when suddenly Yu Yunlong's urgent and anxious voice came from her earring system: "Xiao Sun, come to the central hall!" Sun Sijie first It was the first time he heard Yu Yunlong's voice so nervous. In his memory, even in the most difficult moment of the experiment, Professor Yu always looked calm. It seemed that something serious must have happened.Sun Sijie immediately woke up from his sleep, before he had time to wash up, he put on his coat and hurried out of the office.

When he first entered the elevator, he felt an oppressive and tense atmosphere.Everyone who entered the elevator frowned, with a worried look on their faces, and some people unconsciously paced back and forth in the same place, as if they could no longer bear the urgency. Sun Sijie was also passive in such an atmosphere. My nerves tensed up, something important must have happened.

The moment the elevator door opened, Sun Sijie was almost pushed out by the staff behind him.It would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire center is messy. Red warning signs are displayed everywhere on the arc-shaped waterfall screen, system alarms can be heard endlessly, and messy images are displayed on the scattered combined screens.Sun Sijie's eyes lingered on one of the scenes. A group of people crowded together, and an ambulance was parked not far away, with dazzling blue and red lights flashing. At this time, the crowd gave way, and an ambulanceman pushed The single anti-gravity medical stand walked out of the crowd, and the single stand in front of him was covered with a white sheet.

Sun Sijie froze in place, his eyes were constantly being flashed by the blue and red lights of the ambulance on the screen in front of him, and the same pictures kept pouring in, and all he could hear were the yelling of the surrounding staff , Sun Sijie only felt dizzy for a while, and staggered back a few steps.

Another elevator stopped in the central hall, and at the same time as the door opened, Sun Sijie was pushed forward again.

"Mr. Sun!" A high-pitched cry exploded in Sun Sijie's cochlea like a thunder.He trembled all over, and then he seemed to come back from a dream. Following the sound, he could see that Harris Eddie was waving to him desperately, while Yu Yunlong beside him pointed at Sun Sijie in the meeting room.

When Sun Sijie entered the meeting room, almost no one noticed him. This was obviously different from usual. Everyone was whispering to each other, passing information in their hands, and their respective teams were constantly communicating through the earring system.He walked to his place, not knowing exactly what happened, but everything told him that something very serious and unusual must have happened.
