The Goddess Shines on America

In the dim room, the half of the Sprite bottle he drank last night was still open, and the trash can beside the table was filled with empty bottles. A young man was sitting in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard with both hands quickly and skillfully. Today, Kevin does not intend to continue to use the UCLA computer room computer to roam in the virtual network world, because he just bought a newest IBM computer, which is much higher than the configuration in the school.

Speaking of which, Kevin has two aspects to thank IBM.

For one thing, since IBM got caught up in that topic in March, its stock price has plummeted a lot. In order to recover revenue, they have launched a new computer with high cost performance without stopping. The affordable price and more advanced configuration than any computer currently on the market have allowed the company to increase its revenue by many times in the current quarter compared to before, and it has recovered a lot of losses caused by the sluggish stock price.

Of course, the business situation of IBM is not what Kevin is interested in, but this new computer is really good, and it is precisely because of it that Kevin can use it to play with IBM's second inspiration for himself.

That's right, all kinds of invasions!

In fact, Kevin was a senior hacker many years ago. As early as 1978, when he was only 15 years old, he went around the North American air defense command system in a very boring way. Soon after, he entered the communication network system of the nationally famous Pacific Telephone Company. Changed the computer users of this company, including the numbers and mailing addresses of some famous people. As a result, it caused a huge loss to that company, which is really gratifying!

But this was just a prank and a very boring and simple adventure. It was not until the entire IT industry and even the financial industry broke out that the so-called "exchange door" incident broke out. Kevin suddenly realized that hacking is possible. With such chilling power!

Recently, under the guidance of this kind of thinking, Kevin has sneaked into many important networks around the world with a very clear purpose.

For example, a few months ago, he entered the Soviet Union's national network. You know, as early as the beginning of the development of computers and the Internet, this country has been closely following in the footsteps of the United States, from imitating IBM's computer products to imitating AT\u0026T in laying out network infrastructure across the country. To everyone's surprise, their product is really strong!

Therefore, whether it's the interest in the Soviet Internet or the secrets hidden in this mysterious red country, Kevin can't help but find out.

With the example of the Soviet Union, of course other corners of the world are also under his "claw". For example, MI6, Eton College, one of the most outstanding middle schools in the world, or that existence that no one in the world can forget, the Pentagon...

Thinking of the Pentagon, Kevin, who was typing, suddenly shivered.

However, I don't know if God in the dark sensed Kevin's heart, and at the same time as he shivered, the computer screen full of English codes suddenly cleared.

Then, a row of green letters appeared in front of him.

Kevin's eyes widened suddenly.

"How are you, Kevin?"

A simple greeting, and before Kevin could respond, the second sentence followed: "We met at the Pentagon, remember?"

You can say whatever you want!

Kevin's body was a little weak.

He looked at the Cisco router beside the table. It stands to reason that after his own transformation, it should have the early warning capability. When an intruder from the external network suddenly visits, it will definitely flash a red light and call the police.

Able to bypass the cybersecurity protocols he wrote...

I don't know what the other party was thinking, but I didn't feel anxious when I saw that Kevin didn't reply for a long time, as if I was sincerely giving him time to prepare mentally, and stopped talking after the second sentence.

Kevin was silent for a moment, and typed his first sentence: "Who are you? Why do you call me Kevin?"

The other party's reply will arrive soon, and it really has been waiting for him: "Since the specific IP address of your home has been locked, what is your real name, is it still unclear?"

Indeed, Kevin closed his eyes helplessly. As far as the network protection of the Social Security Bureau is concerned, he is completely defenseless, let alone this hacker who can invade his computer?

Kevin typed: "Are you a hacker too? What do you want from me? Is it just to show off your skills?"

The other party quickly replied: "It is quite a remarkable achievement to become a hacker who is a headache for the Ministry of National Defense in this day and age. Kevin, with your ability, if you only stay at the level of wandering in various servers at will, It's kind of a waste. Don't you think?"

Kevin blinked, he already understood what this mysterious visitor meant.

With a contemptuous smile at the corner of his mouth, he replied: "Are you a lobbyist sent by the Pentagon? Want me to work for the government? Let me serve as the Pentagon's network security consultant? Or simply set up a bureau to arrest me? "

"I won't talk nonsense, and I didn't expect to gain your trust all at once."

The mysterious visitor didn't hide his name. In front of every jargon, the name of "Neo" was indicated with a colon, but Kevin would not be foolish to think that was its real name.

"This time I'm talking to you, it has nothing to do with the Pentagon. What I want to tell you now is, Kevin, you seem to have been hanging out in a shopping mall near Eton College in the past month, right?"

It turned out to be such a thing?

Kevin couldn't help laughing, how many years, how many companies and institutions he has entered in the computer, this is the first time someone came to him by name. He thought that for the first time he would hand over to some big company or national power, but it turned out to be an ordinary shopping mall! ?

He quickly replied: "Don't tell me that you are a girl named Irisviel Lizberen, or her father, that Federal German..."

Before finishing typing the second sentence after the carriage return, "Neo" said, "You must be able to tell from the name that she is a minor nobleman. It shouldn't be difficult to find me with this kind of relationship. So Kevin, listen honestly, this mall named 'Alice' has been covered by me since today, if I find out that you have sneaked into their mainframe without permission, you may come to say hello today It's not me, it's the FBI, okay?"

"Of course it's okay. I'm just a little interested in that mall. There's no reason why I can't let go."

Kevin stared at the rows of chic green letters on the screen, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "But Neo, I'm very interested in you now, if you come to my computer so openly, you won't be afraid of being caught by me." Do you want to track back?"

The other party didn't answer right away, as if he was frightened, and didn't reply for half a minute.

Seeing that "Neo" only left the last line of threats and then became dumb, and then looked at his latest speech, Kevin smiled more confidently, and typed: "Let me guess, you should be in the England, maybe in that mall in Windsor town? Are you a student at Eton College? Oh my God, it's really an honor for me to be in the ever-changing Internet with a highly educated man. There was a fight in space. I have to admit that your strength is indeed very strong, but..."

After typing "BUT" and adding a line of ellipsis, just as Kevin continued to bow his head to type, the screen interface suddenly changed.

Someone actually popped up the GUI on the DOS interface! ?

Kevin stared blankly at the screen, and a counter-like pattern was displayed in front of him, with a series of four-digit numbers written on it. And below this row of numbers, that row of numbers is...

"Asshole, my savings account at Bank of America!?"

Kevin was going crazy, and quickly typed: "Hey, bastard, you hacked Bank of America? You found my bank account? What are you going to do!?"

After typing this line of words and pressing Enter, Kevin found helplessly that the content he had just entered disappeared directly. The top and bottom of the entire screen are blank, only the middle area has that kind of picture.

No, not pictures.

The familiar four-digit deposit suddenly soared, as if it was deliberately stimulating Kevin's nerves. The increase in money actually started from two digits after the decimal point. Ones digits, then tens digits, then hundreds digits, and then thousands digits... Soon, if this is really the real-time record of Kevin's account deposits, then he suddenly has fifty thousand dollars...

continue to rise.

It's ninety thousand dollars.

When the number broke through to six figures, Kevin's heart twitched violently.

It seems to be playing tricks again. When the deposit soared from a few thousand yuan to a hundred thousand yuan, the growth rate slowed down, but it was undoubtedly still growing at a rate of ten yuan per second.

Ten dollars per second, if this is a normal workplace job, how much is the monthly salary?

At this moment, "Neo" appeared again at the bottom of the screen.

"Kevin, this is a commission for you. If you help me develop new products, the money you see now is just the tip of the iceberg. How about it, are you interested?"

Kevin stared at the screen cautiously, he had tried countless ways, but there seemed to be no other way to make this image funny except for unplugging the network cable, unplugging the power supply, or long pressing the power button.

"...Are you really sending me money?"

He stared at the counter that was increasing by ten yuan every second, and while typing, the corner of his mouth was smiling strangely.

"Now it's just a statistic, but if the project is really successful, the benefits you will get are calculated in billions of dollars."

Kevin swallowed hard, his throat muscles contracted to a high degree.

"Tell me, let me help you research what?"

"Neo" was silent for a moment.

Then, a line of green sentences appeared, causing Kevin to lean forward instantly.

"A ternary computer."
