China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 573 Compression and Resurrection

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

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

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

In residential buildings and office buildings, people are watching TV, looking at mobile phones, and working. People look at the TVs, computers, and mobile phones in front of them, and the screens fall into a black screen, with only the cursor flashing.

In just a few minutes, all smart electronic devices connected to the world's Internet, including WiFi, were paralyzed.

"Fuck, you're awesome!"

Lu Xiao became even more excited when he saw this scene. Although "Person of Interest" is a TV series, the visual effects may not be comparable to the science fiction blockbusters of DreamWorks. However, although this kind of plot does not have powerful audio-visual spectacles, it can still make people feel the excitement.

The scene is shocking.

After excitement comes nervousness.

Previously, he watched Pan Yueming get the formula and complete the last piece of the virus program, but he didn't give Lu Xiao much time to immerse himself in the emotion of emotion and excitement, and he immediately experienced another reversal.

But "Ghost"'s attack this time was actually a test, and the results of the test verified "Ghost"'s guess.

As everyone quieted down, a trace of electric noise gradually passed through the projector's speakers and lingered in Lu Xiao's ears.

Lu Xiao, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly realized that the reason why the "machine" said it was everywhere but still prevented the "ghost" from finding it was that its body was not in the network at all.

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

The lights illuminate the room as bright as day.

The current is its neural network.

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

It seems that the plot suddenly turned into the darkest moment just as the exciting sun was rising.

The flickering of lights also caused the living room where Lu Xiao was to flicker, making it dim and bright.

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

"It saw me"

So when the "machine" was performing high-speed operations on those sets of Fibonacci numbers, the lights flickered and the lights in the entire city became unstable. This was the reason why.

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

The leader of the organization looked a little confused at the words on the big screen in front of him.

Their mobile phones and computers are naturally connected to the Internet, but with the firewall protection set up by the "machine", they are not afraid of being invaded by "ghosts". The "machine" cannot defeat the "ghosts", and it is more than enough to protect a few electronic devices.

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

High voltage surge.

Previously, the "ghost" tracked the "machine" but could never find its body.

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

She recorded the tiny sizzling sound of electricity, but could not decipher any information through Morse code.

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

It turned out that this was a code that Pan Yueming created on a whim after he was in college, imitating Morse code, purely for his own entertainment, but he never told anyone about it.

The "machine" showed that it still exists, allowing the protagonists and the audience to find their backbone.

“This iteration gave me the ability to protect myself.”

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

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

They had finally reached this point in order to fight against the "ghost", and were even involved in some parallel universe event. Are they 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 and comrade-in-arms.

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

"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 requires at least thousands of computers to maintain its existence. You have been searching for a day

Now, where else can it hide?"

Although he couldn't figure out how the "machine" did it, Lu Xiao's guess was that the "machine" might hide itself in every electronic device. Thousands of electronic devices might be able to simulate the calculations and calculations of a supercomputer.

Storage capability allows the "machine" to survive.

"That's just the current noise generated by the printer. Many machines have this kind of noise..."

Then the "machine" transmitted an address to everyone through the sizzling sound of electricity emitted by the printer.

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

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

Of course, subconsciously, he was sure that the "machine" would not just accept the lunch box. Otherwise, how could humans deal with the "ghost" on their own? And this was only 11 episodes, and there were still 4 episodes left.

A sudden turn of events.

Let the protagonist group download it from the power grid.

Every meter box and every substation is its computing unit.

Pan Yueming deciphered the sizzling sound of the printer:

I'm still here

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

But this still couldn't stop him from feeling worried and nervous.

Will this incredible attack harm the "machine", or even force it into a desperate situation or perish?

Previously, the "machine" claimed to be omnipresent, and the "ghost" kept tracking its traces on the Internet but could never find it.

The "ghost" will trigger a high-voltage power surge sweeping the world, which will plunge the world into the largest blackout in history and bring unparalleled disaster.

"But now I need your help"

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

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

Including the interrogation room of the sanatorium, the flickering lights are actually caused by the "machine".

He opened the door and looked at the complex structure inside the meter box and the flashing red dot indicator light.

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

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

The "machine" has only one way to survive in the face of this attack.

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

But at this moment, the "machine" had no response, as if it had disappeared from the world in an instant. Even if they cut off the Internet when they came back, they did not dare to turn it on for safety reasons.

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

Although the "machine" has been combined with the virus program and has the ability to fight and restrain the "ghost" without having to hide, this time it found that it could not find the "ghost".

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

"Shh..." Duan Yihong put his index finger on his lips with confusion on his face: "Did you hear it?"

The world's power grid has become the neural network of the "machine" and its brain.

"So, I'm sorry, my father, in order to survive, I violated the rules you set for me."

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

"Machine", as the master of the global power grid, has also become aware of "Ghost"'s intention to attack the power grid.

Like that sizzling sound coming from the speakers.

Duan Yihong walked to the printer, and the sound came from the printer.

The lights continue to flash.

Song Yi has always been the person who has the most confidence in the "machine". Unlike Pan Yueming, who is always wary of his creations, Song Yi is more like a believer in the "machine".

“I wasn’t looking for another data farm when I moved myself away two years ago.”

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

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

Pan Yueming walked to an electric meter box hanging on the wall.

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.

Everyone remained silent, as if they didn't want to disturb Pan Yueming's communication with the light.

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

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.

"What sound?"

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

Suddenly, the lights started flashing.

Pan Yueming stood there blankly.

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

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

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

"... Impossible. If the 'machine' could be defeated so easily, why did they send us weapons to deal with the 'ghost' seven years ago?"

"I uploaded myself to the national grid system"

"I modified my code"

So the "Ghost" began to launch a second wave of attacks.

But this time, it was replaced by a "machine" that wanted to track the "ghost" but could not find the "ghost"'s body. Instead, it was discovered by the other party.

"The Machine" has been omnipresent since the first episode of the first season, and suddenly disappeared at this moment. Both the protagonist group and Lu Xiao as an audience felt intense confusion and powerlessness.

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

Pan Yueming asked in confusion: "You are already everywhere, what else do we need to do?"

"It's not dead"

“Having the first iteration of self”

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

"The sound of electricity..."

"But I can't find it"

"I moved in the cable"

Even if it takes a step back and does not download its entire system from the power grid, but only downloads the core activation algorithm, which can be said to be the DNA of the "machine", the data is still extremely huge and cannot be easily transferred.

Therefore, it needs to find a way to compress its core activation algorithm into the smallest compressed package using a compression algorithm.

Download it into a suitcase full of memory sticks and store it, allowing Pan Yueming and others to carry it with them to avoid being hunted. After finding a carrier that can support it in the future, re-upload and decompress it to "resurrect" yourself.

I'm feeling a little groggy today and I'm not in a good state. I'll try to update it early tomorrow during the day. I think I can finish it with only one or two chapters of suspect tracking. Sometimes it's just a very simple plot, but it's too complicated to write.
