Battlefield Contractor

Lin Rui nodded, but still felt uneasy, and asked Sergey to search again to see if there was anything else on Aubrey.

But apart from a pistol used for self-defense, they did not find any suspicious objects on Aubrey's body.

"It seems there should be nothing left." Sergey replied. "But it seems that this hard drive box must be unusual."

"How do you know? The hard drive box is encrypted, and you haven't seen the content inside, how do you know it's unusual?" Kuaima shook his head.

"The hard disk box is encrypted, and it uses high-quality alloys, which is quite sturdy and has excellent impact resistance.

In addition, I also found that the metal surface of this hard drive box is very bright, especially the four corners.

This shows that this hard disk box is often wiped by someone or is often carried with him. Only by carrying it in your pocket for a long time and rubbing it against your clothes can it produce such a bright effect. Sergey replied.

"But why should you carry this kind of thing with you?" Kuaima shook his head.

"Unless the contents are very important, so he doesn't worry about putting it anywhere, he must carry it with him." Lin Rui nodded and put away the encrypted hard disk box.

"Let's go, the task is complete, let's go back first." He waved his hand and let everyone get into the car.

When they returned to the station and told the actuary Jiangan about the situation. Almost immediately it attracted the attention of the actuary Jiangan.

"What are you going to do with this thing?" The actuary looked at Lin Rui.

"Give it to the employer, or stay, let's see what it is." Lin Rui replied.

"Maybe we find this thing will be a trouble." The actuary shook his head.

"What's the trouble?" Kuaima frowned. "Isn't it just a hard drive box?"

"This is not an ordinary hard drive box. Although the hardware itself is expensive, it still has value after all. But it is probably secret information from the CIA.

The value of this thing is hard to say. And how to deal with this thing is also a thorny issue for us.

If there is highly classified information, whether we hand it over or leave it, it will be a big trouble. "The actuary looked at Lin Rui.

"It's really tricky. I think it's better to give the thing to Cobain first, and let him see if he can decipher the content. Then, based on the content, decide whether to give this thing to the CIA person?" Lin Rui Replied.

"It can only do this now." The actuary descended and nodded.

They found the hard drive box that they immediately took and found Kobain.

"It's rare that the two of you came to me again, let's talk, what's the trouble this time?" Cobain stood up in front of the computer.

"This thing." Lin Rui took out the hard disk box. "Can you try to crack it?"

"It's this thing again." Cobain frowned. "The encrypted hard disk box has three layers of encryption, one is mechanical encryption, the other is software encryption, and the other is a logic lock.

The outer shell is made of high-strength titanium alloy, Kevlar material is lined, and the core part is a large-capacity solid-state memory chip. Very sturdy and very fast to read. What's more frightening is its safety.

It is said that this is the high-end intelligence equipment of the CIA. How did you get it? "

"It's a long story. I just want to know what information is recorded in this thing?" Lin Rui asked when he looked at him.

"It's quite troublesome to crack this thing. I'm afraid it's not enough just by myself. I have to find someone who understands mechanical technology. And if you do it carelessly, you may be scrapped.

I have to say that this thing is quite troublesome, and the structure of the encryption algorithm is much more complicated than that of the encryption algorithm I have encountered before. Cobain shook his head.

"You mean this thing still has a hardware lock?" Lin Rui asked.

"Yes, do you see this small hole here? A special needle must be inserted here to unlock the hardware lock.

Of course, the needle is not an ordinary needle, it is only about two centimeters long, but the surface of the needle has been specially treated, and the surface of the needle is covered with specially arranged small holes.

These pores are very fine and of nanometer level. Once the fine needle penetrates inside, the inside of the hard disk box will be scanned automatically. If it is confirmed, the read restriction will be unlocked.

Then to unlock the software, you must use a computer to enter a complex random key. In addition, it must pass the internal verification of the CIA.

There are three locks in total, none of which is missing. "Cobain replied.

"Can't we just remove the hard disk box and try to read the memory chip directly?" Lin Rui asked.

"Absolutely not. The anti-disassembly structure of the hard disk box cannot be disassembled. It is not disassembled, but every small screw used for fixing on it is a trap.

As long as one of the screws rotates more than ninety degrees, it will trigger the low-level formatting trap and clear the internal storage content. "Cobain replied.

"If you don't remove the screws, just use the cutting method. Use laser cutting, avoid all the screw holes, cut the shell, and take out the memory chip." Sergey asked.

"It still doesn't work. The internal vacuum design of this box will cause changes in the air pressure inside the hard disk box once you use such violent methods.

This kind of air pressure change will also trigger a low-level formatting procedure, which will erase all the contents of the memory chip, and it is the kind that cannot be restored.

This thing is a special agent product that has been carefully researched and developed, not an ordinary digital device. So the rude way you mentioned is simply impossible. "Cobain replied.

"This thing is really troublesome. But I feel that the one we got last time doesn't seem so troublesome." Lin Rui frowned.

"Last time, it can only be regarded as similar equipment, not the CIA registered equipment. Compared with the last time, this thing is more like an upgraded version." Cobain replied.

"Can you find someone to think of a solution?" Lin Rui asked.

"For software cracking, let me find a way. I know a few masters who are proficient in this. But for the hardware lock on the hard disk, you have to find a master who is proficient in mechanical cracking." Cobain replied.

"You mean this hard drive box has a micro mechanical lock?" Sergey asked.

"There is a mechanical key, very small, like a needle about two centimeters long. It is nano-engraving technology on it.

But what is used is not purely mechanical unlocking technology, but a combination of mechanical and optical electronics. Cobain nodded.

"I know that there is a master in this area, but he is in Germany, and I don't know if he is willing to do it." Sergei sighed.
