At this time, there were two people in the minister's office, Ma Xiacheng and deputy team leader Ma Xianglan.
Ren Zhong knocked on the door.
The door opened, and it was Ma Xianglan who opened the door.
She looked a little strange and said, "Mr. Ren, please come in."
Ren Zhong stood outside the door without raising his feet.
Ma Xianglan: "Mr. Ren?"
Ren Zhong blinked, "As a layman, it's more appropriate to just stand outside the door and chat."
Ma Xianglan's expression froze.
What is supposed to come will come sooner or later.
Recalling her strange behavior yesterday, she suddenly felt red-faced and extremely embarrassed.
She originally thought that Ren Zhong would hang around here for a while at most, and then quit, declaring that the minister's respect for him was meaningless and a pure waste of resources.
Then, she, Ma Xianglan, can naturally take a step further.
I didn't expect the slap in the face to come so fast and so hard.
Not to mention it was her, even Ma Xiacheng, who personally brought Ren Zhong in, was also surprised.
Just when Ma Xianglan was a little at a loss, Ren Zhong grinned, took a step forward, ducked into the room, and said, "It's just a joke. Don't be nervous, Deputy Team Leader Ma, I have no dissatisfaction with you."
Ma Xianglan relaxed a little and exhaled, "Thank you, Mr. Ren, for understanding. Actually, I...I'm not that..."
Ren Zhong waved his hand, "It's just human nature, I understand it."
As he spoke, he smiled again: "You were right yesterday, I was indeed a layman at the time. But today I should be considered a layman. Although it is a bit bragging to say this, it is a fact. These tasks are indeed not difficult for me.
The job of a logic engineer is different from what I did at Amethyst Mining. In essence, it is just ordinary repetition. What needs to be tested is memory, logical analysis ability, and the ability to comprehensively summarize information. There is nothing wrong with this job.
Creativity doesn’t even reach the level where you need to test your IQ in school. It’s really too simple.”
After saying that, Ren Zhong looked at Ma Xiacheng calmly.
Under normal circumstances, Ren Zhong is not such an outgoing person.
He rarely boasts and prefers to use practical actions to prove himself.
For a person like him, there is basically no need for self-promotion.
But now that the situation has changed, he needs to show a more wild attitude in the Shenzhen News Group to further enhance his attractiveness and at the same time create more favorable preconditions for the subsequent negotiations.
Ma Xiacheng sighed, "It's a good thing that you have confidence in the task. If I had known that you had such ability, I should have brought you in a few months ago. If so, maybe we wouldn't have reached this point today. If
You can give early warning and allow various departments to prepare early, and you may even be able to prevent disasters from happening."
Ren Zhong smiled and shook his head: "You know it's hard to buy, but the most expensive thing in the world is regret medicine. And before I came here, I didn't know that I was actually suitable for this job. Even if you invited me at the beginning, I might not agree.
In addition, hiring me also goes against the principles of the Ma family. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for you to convince others."
Ma Xiacheng nodded: "That's right. Okay, Deputy Team Leader Ma, you go and do your work first. I have something to discuss with Ren Zhong alone."
Ma Xianglan had no choice but to go out after hearing this.
Obviously, she knew that she had lost her position as team leader.
After the office door closed, Ma Xiacheng got straight to the point: "You already know the general situation. There is indeed a problem with the 'net'. You also understand the structure of the 'net' now. But at the moment you don't know the more specific situation.
, let me show it to you first."
Ren Zhong: "Okay."
After speaking, Ma Xiacheng waved his hand, and a stereoscopic projector installed on the ceiling of the office lit up.
The lattice structure of the "net" that Ren Zhong had seen before appeared on the white and shiny wall.
The difference is that the last time Ren Zhong saw this picture, it was a three-dimensional structure, but this time it became a three-dimensional picture simulated by a two-dimensional plane.
Ma Xiacheng: "You already know what different colors mean. So, tell me what you think now."
Ren Zhong nodded slightly and stared at the projection ahead.
In the previous timeline, when the confrontation between "Net" and him reached its peak, most of the modules turned dark red, ranging from red to purple. A very few modules turned orange.
But at this time, almost all of these modules are glowing dark red, and the brightness changes like human breathing.
Its change pattern is determined by the movement of another color that makes people talk about tiger colors.
It's exactly black.
At this time, a small number of modules appear black.
But these black parts are not fixed, but keep swimming around like a greedy snake.
The direction in which it wanders is very random and appears to be irregular.
Whenever the black snake goes somewhere, the surrounding red modules immediately become darker.
The dark red module is constantly trying to suppress and surround the black parts.
But the black part can often escape the moment before the crimson module forms a complete encirclement.
In just a few seconds, the black module encountered several dangers, but always managed to escape.
Ma Xiacheng explained: "What I show you is actually a simulation picture that has been slowed down a million times. The actual scene is faster than this and changes more intensely. In our usual understanding, the module changes to
Black means that it has become a bad block and needs to be replaced. This phenomenon of fading black in a very short period of time has never occurred before. But despite this, the situation has not improved, but is getting worse. The wandering black block has just begun.
When it appeared, it was just a very small part, covering even one small module. But now the scope has expanded to more than ten large modules, and it continues to expand.”
Ren Zhong took a breath, "It's very serious."
"Yes." Ma Xiacheng sighed, "As time goes by, one day the entire 'net' will be blackened, and it will be irreversible."
Ren Zhong frowned and asked, "Didn't you try to change it as usual?"
Ma Xiacheng shook his head: "It keeps wandering. It's impossible for frontline construction workers to catch up with its speed. In addition, if we want to replace the bad blocks, we need frontline workers to open the closed cavity. But now the 'net' has been closed
Port for external control."
Ren Zhong: “In short, is it autistic?”
"right."
"Yeah." Ren Zhong responded, then stood in front of the projection with his arms folded, frowning in thought.
Ma Xiacheng looked at Ren Zhong's back and said nothing, just letting him think for himself.
He has tried every means, but to no avail. Now it is better to put his hope in Ren Zhong, a "foreign monk". Maybe Ren Zhong can even chant sutras?
Gradually, Ren Zhong clenched his fists and his wide eyes became bloodshot.
Ma Xiacheng felt deeply. Sure enough, no one's success comes from chance.
The concentration shown by Ren Zhong when thinking about problems is beyond ordinary people's level.
Little did he know that the heavy responsibility at this time was purely due to his excessive excitement.
Although it is just a change in color, Ren Zhong, who knows more about the inside story, has already figured out more information.
This is not a simple data change, this is Sun Ai's battlefield.
She is using her own way to fight against the super intelligence that rules the entire Source Star human race.
It cannot be denied that she is in a very bad situation at this time, as she is always being chased and intercepted by her opponents, but it cannot be denied that she is tenacious and alert.
As Ma Xiacheng said just now, at the beginning this black block was so weak that it could only cover a small module, but now it has grown to such an extent in just two days.
Under the circumstances of this ebb and flow, the defeat of "Net" is doomed.
call……
After a long time, Ren Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
Ma Xiacheng, who was next to him, quickly asked: "What do you think? Do you have any ideas for a solution?"
Ren Zhong looked back at each other.
Ma Xiacheng also looked at this new subordinate whom he valued highly.
He didn't know that what Ren Zhong was analyzing at this time was not the "net" at all, but his thinking.
Ren Zhong raised his right hand and rubbed his chin. He speculated that Ma Xiacheng had not guessed the "Trojan horse" level.
Although there is a profession of hacker on the Origin Star, the hacker's opponent has always been an intelligence brain made with Ruin Beast chip as the core.
No one dares to think that the black technology "network" from advanced civilizations will one day be poisoned or infected with Trojan horses.
The humans of the Origin Star have not yet fully understood the super-intelligent principles of the "Net", and they may not dare to imagine what kind of opponents can hack the "Net".
However, Ren Zhong still put forward his speculation, "Minister, do you think the Internet may be infected by a virus?"
Ma Xiacheng immediately shook his head, "This is unrealistic. The 'Net' has a defense system beyond our imagination, and completely exceeds the firewall performance we understand. If there is really any Trojan or virus that can invade the 'Net', then there is only one explanation."
Ren Zhong: "What?"
"We are being targeted by a civilization of the same level as the Empire, or even a higher level than the Empire. So why are we struggling? Wouldn't it be easier to just lie down and die?"
Ren Zhong: "What if it is not a civilization, but a kind of energy-state life floating in the universe?"
Ma Xiacheng asked: "Is this any different from being targeted by a higher civilization? For us, the result is the same, there is no room for resistance. So the problem must lie with the 'net' itself. Those who wander from the black block
You can see the pattern."
Ren Zhong nodded slightly, and then turned on an auxiliary computing computer next to him to see all the changes from the "network" problem to now.
Ma Xiacheng asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
"I am trying to use mathematical methods to analyze the rules of the movement of black blocks. Under normal circumstances, as long as the data changes occur inside the intelligent brain, there should be rules. The essence of all intelligent brain programs is mathematical rules, including the 'net'
, also includes the wisdom beast."
Ma Xiacheng's eyes lit up, "A very good entry point."
After a long time, Ren Zhong imported all the statistical information and started to let the computer automatically calculate the rules and summarize the formulas. At the same time, he said: "Minister, I need more computing power."
"I will allocate 90% of the company's currently rebuilt computing power to you."
"Okay, thank you."
Afterwards, the two of them stared at the screen, watching the mathematical formulas on it become longer and longer.
Half an hour passed, and Ren Zhong sighed and chose to terminate the operation.
Ma Xiacheng: "What's wrong?"
At this time, Ren Zhong actually got a new answer.
Even if Sun Ai in the past had the memory of 100,000 people, all human consciousness born on the Source Star must follow the constraints of the icosahedron and are all pseudo-random.
Until he appeared, Sun Ai came into contact with his own thoughts and obtained his own neuron cells.
Sun Ai saw what real random chaotic thinking is.
She secretly learned her secret skills and turned them into the sharpest weapons.
Maybe Sun Ai has not learned everything and will never be able to achieve absolute randomness, but it doesn't matter, as long as her randomness is greater than the "net", she will definitely win.
Here, Ren Zhong shook his head at Ma Xiacheng, "The information depth of the 'Net' is beyond our imagination. The way the black blocks move is truly random, without any rules. Look at the formula we calculated, it is infinite
cycle. The difficulty of finding the final value is basically equivalent to using a formula to summarize all the micro and macro worlds in the universe."
Ma Xiacheng: "Cosmological constant?"
Ren Zhong's pupils shrank sharply, "Maybe."
He finally used insinuations to get the information he wanted most from Ma Xiacheng.
"Minister, I have heard you talk about the cosmological constant before. What is it besides its monetary value?"
Ma Xiacheng shook his head in distress, "This is information you shouldn't know originally. But... forget it, it doesn't really matter if I say it. Because I don't know its specific meaning. I only know that there are still people in the empire who will use it."
It is called the cosmic hash value. Some people say that if the complete cosmological constant can be calculated, it will be equivalent to solving all the mysteries in the universe. It can even directly convert energy into any material you want, or you can do it in a very short time.
It spans infinite distances in time, allowing physical objects to move at a speed close to the speed of information flow.”
Ren Zhong raised his head slightly.
He already knew the answer in his heart.
The so-called cosmological constant is the grand unified formula!
The so-called universal hash value, to put it bluntly, is equivalent to a blockchain currency that can be infinitely divided.
The human brain that has been used for computing power is, to put it bluntly, a mining machine that has been planted with a Trojan horse to run at high load for a long time.
This "Trojan horse" is nothing else, it is the icosahedron hidden in the electron cloud, and it is also part of the underlying physical rules.
Ren Zhong didn't know how powerful the empire was, but now he had a glimpse of the leopard and found out some secrets.
He once thought that the appearance of the icosahedron was accidental and a natural wonder in the universe.
But now, he has completely connected the logic between the two.
Even though he hasn't found the evidence yet, he has already established a complete logical chain of reasoning in his mind.
The empire is so powerful that it can change the physical rules of weak electric interaction, so how can there be a future for itself and the humans of Source Star?
"Minister, let me ask you another presumptuous question."
"you say."
"According to the information I knew before, we are wanderers branched out from the empire, so the people in the empire are also humans, right?"
Ma Xiacheng: "This is top secret information, and only level nine citizens can know it. But I can tell you now, yes."
"What is the average lifespan of a human in the Empire?"
Ma Xiacheng: "If you don't consider the freezing time, the average life span is sixty-two years, which is twenty years longer than us. I believe that after we go to the empire, our life span will be appropriately extended. This is what the top citizens are looking forward to most."
Ren Zhong: "..."
"What's wrong with you Ren Zhong?"
"No...nothing."
"But your hands are shaking."
"I...I'm just a little surprised. I calmed down a little. Forget it, let's return the topic to the 'Net'. Let's put it this way, since the black block is absolutely random and cannot be an external opponent, it must
It is the fault of the 'network' itself, or we can only think in this direction. Then, unless the 'network' returns to normal on its own, it is no longer possible for us to repair it. It is time to give up this unrealistic fantasy and go
There is another way.”
Ma Xiacheng hummed, "Your guess coincides with mine. But I still want to know the reason."
Ren Zhong: "I suspect that 'Net' may have discovered something and is performing some important calculations for which we do not understand the principles. The value of this calculation result even exceeds that of the humans on the Source Star. After all, 'Net' is the wealth of the empire, and we only
It's just a parasite attached to it, right?"
Ma Xiacheng pondered for a long time, "It's a very special point of view, but it has a certain possibility."
Ren Zhong: "Yes. The only thing we can do is to create a substitute for the "net"."
