Deep Space Fleet

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, put those distracting thoughts behind him, and said loudly: "Everyone, let's start, as soon as possible, first cut off part of the power supply, only keep a small part of the electronic equipment in operation, and cut off external communication!"

Immediately after, the soldiers who followed behind them directly disconnected the main cables and 6 spare cables inside the spaceship after some inspections. The power of the spaceship was cut off, followed by a soft "click", and the backup battery was connected to the power again. These original safety designs turned into trouble.

"Report! We expect to be able to remove all backup batteries and stop most of the devices within 3 minutes!"

"knew."

In addition to power outages, the second way to resist digital viruses is to isolate the Internet, cut off communication, and prevent transmission. This is also a double-edged sword that kills one hundred enemies and damages one thousand. In order to prevent viruses from invading, all communication devices such as earphones and Bluetooth in Power Armor were removed, making communication quite difficult. Fortunately, there is air inside the spaceship, and the sound can be barely transmitted, and it can only be communicated through primitive methods such as yelling or telegrams.

Without high-tech communication, the level of human warfare has regressed to the period of World War I.

Now people use multi-level technologies to defend against digital viruses, and there is also a certain degree of isolation from the physical level. The detection robot in front first sends the communication signal to signal base station A, then base station A sends it to spacecraft B, and B sends it to C, with several detection links in between. Each link has different audit methods and different security mechanisms. Even if one of them is infected, it will not affect the whole.

Moreover, whether the digital virus can spread over a distance of dozens of astronomical units over a long distance is also a question.

According to the test data of the "Ten Thousand Year Worm" virus, the distance it can spread is only a few light seconds at most. There is a lot of electromagnetic noise in the universe. The farther the distance, the greater the interference and the weaker the transmission ability.

As for the rest, a better way is naturally to use various technical protection methods.

For example, "protection lock" is a digital virus defense measure developed by Unreal Labs. It consists of a biological brain and 17 kinds of physical inspection devices. Basically, every supercomputer has this kind of hardware installed.

People only know that it can easily crack the "Ten Thousand Year Worm". No one is sure whether it is useful for other digital viruses.

There is also the "Overload Computing System", which is a technology that instantly consumes all the computing power of a computer. By crowding out computing power, it instantly kills the "thousand-year worm". It is a technology that fights poison with fire.

These technologies are related to the virtual world and are basically not for foreign trade. Zhang Yuan is not sure what is going on with the people in the hemisphere and whether the defense measures are sufficient.

After a few minutes, seeing that the power was basically cut off, Zhang Yuan said, "Let's start."

A staff member took out a dedicated computer from the trunk he was carrying, connected it to the signal base station, took a deep breath, and pressed one of the buttons.

The screen jumped instantly.

It doesn't matter if you don't check the result, you will be shocked if you check it!

Inside many "protection lock" programs, there are strange and complex codes, and these codes are very strange digital signals...

This automatically generated number jumps densely, as if it does not affect the operation of the signal base station itself.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuan's face turned green, he was startled and frightened, and the young people who followed him jumped up instantly, hitting the deck of the spaceship!

"Digital virus, really a digital virus!"

At first, they thought it was a bit of a fuss, and felt that the high-level civilization made such a big commotion because of a little suspicion, and they didn't take it seriously, but now...

Thinking that this thing might wreak havoc within civilization, everyone felt their scalps go numb, and their backs kept breaking out in cold sweat.

Now the size of the new human civilization is not what it used to be. There are only one or two spaceships, but two battle stars!

If the digital virus really spreads on the Internet, it will be too difficult to really extinguish the virus. Moreover, human beings are still in a state of ignorance about this virus. No one knows its characteristics and when it will completely break out...

"Don't be nervous just yet."

Zhang Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and after doing a small experiment, he turned on the power of another signal base station again.

This supercomputer began to function normally.

After power failure and reconnection, the automatic code generation function inside the "protection lock" disappeared, and it became a series of rigid data...

Explain that these things still follow the fundamentals of digital viruses. If you "dead", you can't "live" again.

He turned his head deeply, and said loudly: "Turn off all the communication devices inside the spaceship, use light signals..."

"Notify the rear, use the sixth preparation plan!"

The sixth preparation plan? !

A soldier around was stunned for a moment, then immediately saluted and shouted, "Yes!"

The sixth preparation plan is the highest-level preparation plan among military exercises. It is specially used to deal with digital viruses and biological viruses. The most basic part of survival!

This is quite dangerous for a civilization. Losing communication in the universe is no different from a normal person losing perception such as eyes, ears, and mouth. It means that he can only be beaten but cannot fight back.

Who knows if there are any enemies in this ghost place!

But there is no way, now we must race against time, one minute late may be really late!

For this small spaceship, the lights flickered a few times.

Immediately afterwards, the rear personnel received the message, and after sending the last message, they cut off contact with each other.

The hemisphere scientists on the other base station were dumbfounded. They recognized what the light communication meant, and when they wanted to ask a few more questions, they found that the new human civilization had directly switched off the power. The various lights on the Kyushu began to go out.

In fact, they didn't detect anything. In their eyes, all the machines are normal...

Since the technological systems of the two sides are not the same, dispatching human experts in the past is of no use.

"what happened?"

"Sir... sir? Our scientists haven't sent a signal yet."

These hemisphere people who discussed together were all in a state of sluggishness.

The economic loss of this kind of power outage is huge, especially in many automation industries. Once the power is cut off, the entire batch of products will be scrapped, and restarting requires a lot of manpower and material resources. There are also some people in the elevator room who may be trapped and cause social chaos.

The leader of the hemisphere, Promis, shook his head violently. Now is not the time to think about the economy. Now that the new human civilizations are starting to shrink back, they must also shrink back. If something really happens, their hemisphere civilization will not be able to resist.

"Turn on the brakes, and we will do the same! And cut off the power of the Karina battle star in the rear!"

"Execute, execute quickly!"

"yes!"

After a while of flying around, the battle star "Karina" behind the civilization of the hemisphere also entered a state of darkness.

Three huge battle stars, one in the front and two in the back, just floated in the outer area of ​​the planetary system, and the originally lively venues became quiet and quiet.

All kinds of weapons have lost their luster, but all the muscles are useless.

But inside Battle Star, it is natural that chickens are flying like dogs.

"Emergency evacuation notice, this is not a drill! This is not a drill!"

"Emergency evacuation notice, all personnel evacuated to their respective shelters! Those trapped in the elevator, please don't panic, the rescue team is coming!"

"Emergency evacuation notice, this is not a drill!"

"what happened?"

"Don't worry about it, just do it!"

The people didn't even know what happened, and they all started to evacuate urgently. Fortunately, similar exercises have been trained many times, and there was not much confusion during the period. This can be regarded as the standard quality requirement of Star Citizen.

At the communication spacecraft on the front line, Zhang Yuan and others are also constantly checking the characteristics of this new type of digital virus.

Strangely, its infectious ability does not seem to be strong, it is much weaker than the previous "Million Worm" virus, and the surrounding electronic equipment has not been infected on a large scale. Thinking about the ten-thousand-year worm back then, it was immediately paralyzed when it encountered it, but the one I encountered now does not seem to be highly contagious.
