Deep Space Fleet

As the investigation deepened, there were more and more contradictions.

No enemy remains of the Toth civilization have been found.

With the deepening of various investigations and the full power of the astronomical observation equipment, the wreckage of the spacecraft and the robot on the base found are basically from the Toss civilization itself.

"Either, the Toth civilization was crushed overwhelmingly, and there was no way to fight back...or it was really a civil war."

Before the situation is clarified, the unknown risk always exists, and it may even come to the head of the Kyushu in the next second, so people have to be careless.

Fortunately, the "Kyushu" is far away from that area at present, and it takes a full 10 hours to travel at the speed of light. Even if there is any risk, there should be time to react. You can't just run away without investigating anything...

But this feeling of trepidation has always existed, as if as time accumulates, the risk will become greater and greater...

During the discussion like this, suddenly, Zhang Yuan's mind flashed, and he felt that he and others seemed to have missed something. This omission is extremely important and dangerous, and he immediately began to think hard along this flash of light.

"What is the reason for the chaos in the Toth civilization? Is our exploration plan too simple?"

"Let's take a simple scene. A strange phenomenon suddenly appeared on the surface of the colonized planet and was discovered by the Toth civilization. They began to investigate carefully, and they may even be more cautious than us!"

"But in the end there was total chaos...so much so that civil war broke out?!"

"It's not right, it's absolutely not right!"

After he figured out the key points, he was so frightened that his hairs trembled, and he immediately stood up from his seat and shouted loudly: "Wait a minute, everyone, we must not overestimate ourselves and think that we have taken enough measures. Is it safe enough? Isn’t it because of this mentality that the Tos civilization collapsed?”

"Is there an unknown enemy that has already launched an attack on us? What is the unknown attack method of the fifth-level civilization... The only thing I can think of is a digital virus!"

Yes, digital viruses were widely used in high-level civilization wars, and people have heard of this in the interstellar trading market.

At that time, it was just a kind of anecdote and gossip, but now, people may actually encounter it!

Everyone in the conference room was taken aback.

Zhang Yuan calmed down the emotions in his heart a little, and continued: "If a digital virus, after infecting the computer, hides itself again, it will not destroy the original function, and even hide it from our security inspectors. It’s not that I doubt the level of the security personnel… but in the face of the unknown, we must be cautious, it’s inaccurate to use the characteristics of the Wannian virus to judge other digital viruses!!”

After the Wannian bug infects the computer, it will paralyze the computer, and then spread the infection in all directions through communication waves.

This feature is very obvious and easy to find, and humans have also implemented a series of protection against it.

But not all digital viruses are like this.

Zhang Yuan said loudly: "All in all, the longer time passes, the more machines will be infected with latent virus. Now is not the time for exploration, but the time for final investigation!"

He almost yelled out the last few words: "Power off, check!"

There are two different levels for power-off inspection and power-on inspection!

Zhang Yuan's words immediately quieted down the lively conference room. There is no doubt that the cost of power outages in the entire region is extremely high. Which of the various safety facilities now does not use electricity? What is the difference between a power outage and being blind and deaf.

Although it is a bit suspected of fighting wits with the air, but in the face of an unknown digital virus that may exist, no matter how careful you should be.

"I agree!" One of the leaders of the hemisphere civilization also nodded immediately: "We don't know anything about digital viruses... This is indeed a unique attack method of the fifth-level civilization, and it is extremely efficient, far higher than other conventional weapons."

"That's right, let's do it like this. You don't need to discuss any more. Hurry up." Captain Feng knocked on the table vigorously after hearing the word digital virus.

At present, people cut off all external electromagnetic wave communications, and began to arrange manpower to check all communication devices.

As for the people in the hemisphere, they also began to urgently organize experts, and the digital virus may have spread along the electromagnetic communication. It's just that there are not enough experts on the human side to reinforce them.

This is also the troublesome part of the alliance between the two parties. Due to the unequal strength, it is a bit overwhelming after discovering the problem. There is no way to directly issue orders like a single civilization. Humans have virtual world technology and have studied digital viruses for a period of time, but hemispheric civilization does not.

Fortunately, this time the hemispheric civilizations were quite cooperative. Facing the unknown mysterious product, plus a living example of the wreckage of a fourth-level civilization in front of them, no matter how cautious they were, they quickly organized a large A batch of experts began to investigate the whole area.

This large batch is really a large batch, with thousands of people, and talents from various unrelated majors have all come here!

People in the hemisphere don't want to cause such troublesome things for nothing because they are too careless.

In the end, Professor Ichiro Yamamoto, who was in charge of this aspect, had a few more talks with the leader of the hemispheric people, discussed the inspection process, and assigned several expert-level personnel in the past, which made them feel a little relieved.

The "never-year-old virus" that humans have come into contact with in the past is the product of wars between advanced civilizations millions of years ago. It is just the simplest digital virus, and there are more complex and comprehensive types in theory. No matter how many battle stars the fourth-level civilization has, it is not enough to fight against this thing. If the protective measures are even a little bit insufficient, it will be paralyzed in minutes.

Just 30 minutes later, all the electromagnetic wave receivers were cut off, and people could only use astronomical telescopes to observe the ruins from afar, and at the same time communicate with each other through the simplest lights.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and boarded a transport spaceship, accompanied by Professor Ichiro Yamamoto, a dozen scientists, and seven or eight soldiers. The transport spacecraft has changed from automatic driving to manual driving mode, and all surface communication rooms have also been closed. It can be seen that the pilot in front is also a little nervous.

"Buzz", there was a light sound on the deck, and the tail of the spaceship ejected violent blue plasma, successfully taking off.

The large communication base station in front is about 5 light seconds away from the battle star Kyushu, and it is the signal receiving center of the entire investigation force. If it is really infected with the virus, it must be the space base station that was infected first.

The communication station of the hemisphere civilization is also nearby. Since the communication technologies of the two parties are not the same, and the programming languages ​​are also different, we can only check each of them in various ways.

Zhang Yuan is recalling in his heart, the various measures of the new human civilization to deal with digital viruses...

There are not many ways to deal with digital viruses. The simplest and most drastic way is to cut off the power, so Professor Yamamoto suggested that if the hemispheric civilization can't detect anything, just cut off the power.

But if the power is cut off for too long, the alliance itself will be in danger. Maybe there is an enemy waiting for you to cut off the power?
