Xingbian: "It's not just a random experiment... Can I use your laptop?"
As he said this, Yang Wu's eyes couldn't help but be stained with a hint of memory.
Yang Wu: "It's just a hypothesis."
"It's difficult," Yang Wu shook his head, "Our most powerful starship 100 years ago was the Xiaguang. If it were put up to now, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as good as a carrier-based aircraft on the Taishan."
Yang Wu's heart moved, he seemed to have thought of something, and he said immediately.
Looking at the devastated battlefield not far away, Yang Wu continued, "Because now, even if we face extraterrestrial civilizations, it is still possible for us to fight them."
"Incredible..." Looking around the computer room, Academician Wang was shocked by the scene in front of him and was a little distracted for a moment. However, he soon regained his composure and ordered his students, "Prepare to intercept the data, let us take a look at it." What are you calculating?"
Walking to the laptop, Xing Bian typed the line of numbers Lu Zhou had given him before on the keyboard, and then pressed the Enter button.
The Awami League was probably the first attempt by human civilization to seek global political unity driven by external pressure. Although this attempt ended in failure, it provided considerable inspiration for the birth of subsequent regional alliances.
In deep space, a small transport ship slowly approached the temporary space port hovering over Ceres.
"The security key," Academician Wang pointed to the laptop in his hand with his chin, and continued toward the flashing dialog box, "Simply put, it is the administrator password. Unless we know the password, it is impossible to pass Other ways to hack in.”
"Is it that line of formula? Have you solved it?"
Obviously, not only is the scale of the base itself not small, but the scale of the defense facilities deployed here cannot be underestimated either.
Academician Wang saw Yang Wu and said seriously, "The key now is to find the password... Have you found relevant clues from other places? For example, the space station near Ceres."
"I'll try."
The specific location was located deep in the valley. After passing through the military checkpoint, the group quickly entered the base.
"Let me try... No," the student continued with a solemn look on his face, "This supercomputer has encrypted the program, and it cannot be read unless administrator rights are obtained."
However, at this moment, Captain Xing, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke.
"Extraterrestrial civilization... reminds me of the Human League that fell apart more than half a century ago."
As a shuttle slowly descended, two experts in space suits walked out of the landing station, escorted by a team of soldiers in exoskeleton armor.
"That is to say... this password can be tried three times?"
After shaking hands with the middle-aged man in front of him, academician Wang Sicheng, who had gray temples, nodded friendly towards the general counsel.
The password is correct!
Xingbian: "Everything we know has been written in that report. I believe you have read it. As for the rest... I'm sorry, we know very little."
"It should be," Academician Wang nodded, "but I don't recommend you to try it casually."
"In that case, its secret will go to hell with it," Yang Wu interrupted Li Gaoliang and continued, "This may be related to the origin of the Alpha virus, and it is also the biggest secret we have about the Alpha virus so far. A clue, and it may well be our only hope of solving this trouble."
As for how the People’s League disappeared
"After three incorrect inputs, the interface will be closed for three years. If you are patient, the workload will not be very large." After glancing at Yang Wu, Academician Wang Sicheng continued, "And we don't even know now whether the password is a number or a Letters... Or, symbols that I don’t understand.”
Simply amazing!
It wasn't until the electronic screen in his suitcase lit up that the connection was successful, that he stopped what he was doing, left the metal button in place, and then operated on the laptop-like suitcase. stand up.
Looking at his students, Academician Wang frowned and said, "Can I retrieve the program running on the computer?"
Seeing this scene, everyone held their breath involuntarily. Especially Academician Wang and his students were so nervous that their hearts almost rose to their throats.
After hearing this, Professor Wang Sicheng was silent for a while and then spoke.
Success!
That’s a long story.
"Welcome to Ceres, I am Yang Wu, general advisor of the Pan-Asian First Fleet."
Although some clues were found on that space station, most of them were of no use.
If the People's Union is made into a community of destiny within the Earth-Moon system, then regional alliances such as Pan-Asian Cooperation, North American Alliance, North Sea Alliance, and Ibero-French Alliance are probably small-scale destiny based on specific regions. community.
Wang Sicheng: "I don't know. Many things can only be known after research."
"I don't know either," Xing Bian said with a bitter smile, "But here... I happen to have a password, although I don't know if it is used here."
Yang Wu: "What's even more unimaginable is that there is also what is suspected to be the largest quantum computer array in the solar system...Whose masterpiece do you think this is?"
Looking at the criminal captain, Academician Wang had a surprised expression on his face.
Otherwise, the First Fleet would never have poured such ferocious firepower on the surface of the asteroid.
If it fails, it will have to wait until three years later.
Yang Wu frowned, thought for a moment and said.
"Do you know the password?"
"How's it going? Is there any progress?"
"What about brute force cracking?" Yang Wu frowned and said, "Looking at the length of the password... If we use an exhaustive method, the amount of work shouldn't be very large, right?"
It's not because he has any bad opinions about the criminal captain, it's just because normal people feel more or less uneasy when dealing with people from this kind of "secret agency".
"Xing Bian, the agent of the Security Bureau, is responsible for investigating this incident. This is my business card." As he spoke, Captain Xing skillfully took out a translucent holographic card and gently pushed it in front of him.
"I have read the report about what happened here, and in order to facilitate further investigation, I need to know more specific circumstances."
The investigation appears to be stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Xing Bian nodded.
There are only three chances.
Then he took out a round metal button, placed it on the chassis, and groped for a while on the chassis of the chassis like a stethoscope.
Looking at the bullet holes left in the corridor, Academician Wang Sicheng smacked his tongue and followed Yang Wu and Li Gaoliang, commander of the Third Orbital Airborne Brigade, to the computer room.
Seeing Academician Wang stop what he was doing, Captain Xing immediately stepped forward and asked.
Wang Sicheng asked casually: "Why is it impossible to be powerful?"
Academician Wang Sicheng frowned and glanced at the holographic card. After hesitating for a moment, he accepted it.
"Academician Wang, you are finally here!"
However, this quantum computer array that occupies the entire underground space seemed to have not seen it at all, completely ignoring his series of operations and still tightly confining its secrets within the chassis.
Fortunately, what they were worried about did not happen. The light blue cursor flashed slightly on the computer, like a key that opened the door to a new world. In an instant, the screen was filled with codes.
"No," Academician Wang shook his head and said solemnly, "The security system of this supercomputer is very strong. At least I don't see any obvious loopholes... At present, there is only one way to crack the secret. There’s a way.”
"Do you think it would be possible for the Human Federation to be reestablished if this computer was indeed an outpost of extraterrestrial civilization—or something like that?"
The computer room fell into silence for a while.
After learning that a quantum computer array suspected to be left by extraterrestrial civilization was found on Ceres, the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences immediately sent an invitation to him, hoping that he could provide assistance to the Pan-Asian First Fleet on behalf of the Academy of Sciences to investigate the origin of this computer. And figure out what that thing is calculating.
Asking his students to stand aside, Academician Wang stepped forward, tapped his fingers on the mechanical keyboard that was too old for this era, and entered dazzling lines of code.
The student nodded, walked forward with a suitcase, and opened the combination lock in front of one of the computers.
Looking at everything in front of him, Academician Wang's pupils shrank instantly, and then a touch of ecstasy appeared on his face.
"any solution?"
But let him summarize based on his own understanding, it is probably that with the collapse of the Gate of Hell and the retreat of the expedition team, all clues about extraterrestrial civilization were interrupted, and the relevant debates gradually withdrew from people's field of vision as time went by. , returned to the realm of academia.
"It's unimaginable... that someone would actually build a base in a place like this." After letting go of his hand, Academician Wang Sicheng glanced at the nearby area, with a hint of unbelievable surprise in his eyes.
"Good teacher."
As an in-service professor at the School of Information Engineering of Jinling University and an academician of the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences, Academician Wang has outstanding research results and academic status in the fields of quantum computers and information security technology.
Seeing that Captain Xing didn't look like he was lying to himself, Academician Wang said nothing more, nodded to the students who came here with him, and then walked into the computer room.
Looking at the people coming this way, Xing Bian, who was standing at the door of the computer room, his eyes lit up slightly and he immediately greeted them with a smile.
"you are?"
"To be precise, it was Academician Lu who solved it."
Li Gaoliang and Yang Wu looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
"If it really doesn't work... we can physically destroy this supercomputing center," Li Gaoliang tried to suggest, "No matter what it is planning, as long as it itself becomes a pile of junk—"
It can be seen from the craters and scrapped mechanical parts all over the ground that a war broke out here before.
The Human League, established to fight against extraterrestrial civilizations, naturally lost its meaning of existence...
"If it's just hypothetical, I vote for extraterrestrial civilization."
"Nice to meet you."
"The data access was successful... The computing resource usage reached 87%. The program running on this supercomputer is indeed not simple."
