"No need." Xiao Ling rejected Xiao Tan's reasoning without thinking.
"Huh?" Xiaotan was stunned after hearing this.
"Haha... that's for sure." Feng Bujue said with a smile, "As an alcoholic who is eager to open the wine cellar and have a good time, he will not use too complicated encryption methods."
"That's right." Xiao Ling continued, "If you analyze the principal's mentality, you will understand... If possible, he would like to write the eight-digit password directly on the paper. That is the most convenient."
She said, pointing to the remote control, "Look, he has neatly put the remote control and the two things needed for decryption together, which shows that he is very aware... that he is addicted.
When I was young, I didn’t have time to do anything too complicated, and all I could think about was opening the wine cellar as soon as possible.”
"Then why doesn't he just set a simpler password, or directly copy the eight-digit password on paper?" Gui Xiao added at this time, "In this case, even if he is drunk, he will not be conscious.
When he is confused, he can also open the wine cellar."
"That's true... but while making it convenient for himself, he must also consider safety issues." Xiao Ling replied, "After all, he is also a primary school principal. If alcoholism is completely exposed, then he will definitely
He's going to lose his job, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to build such a 'secret wine cellar' and install an entrance with a remote control."
"Oh..." Gui Xiao understood.
Xiaotan then continued: "So...he came up with this 'convenient and safe' method to put all the items needed to open the wine cellar in the drawer, and performed some kind of
Simple encryption. In this way...even if someone discovers the contents of the drawer, others will not be able to decipher the password within a short period of time."
"Ha... It should be said... Under normal circumstances, the people who discovered these three things would not consider 'decryption' at all, right?" Feng Bujue continued with a smile, "We use modern people, players
Only when you consider the problem with your own thinking and perspective can you immediately think of the uses of these three things. But what about looking at it from the perspective of the characters in this script?" He paused and then said, "You guys
You must know that the era when this script took place was the 1970s. At that time... it was only more than ten years since the birth of the real wireless remote control for civilian use; it was not until the 1980s that the infrared TV remote control we are familiar with began.
Popularity. So... wireless remote control was obviously still a rare thing for people at that time. How many people in a rural elementary school in Japan could recognize the remote control? To take a step back, even if someone
Knowing that this is the remote control, so what? This person must know at least two other things before he would consider 'decryption'."
At this point, Brother Jue held out three fingers: "First, he has to know that the principal has a secret wine cellar. So that he can think of what this remote control is used to control; second, he also has to know the purpose of this remote control.
The working principle, and the exact location of the entrance to the wine cellar... Because at that time, ultrasonic technology was used, not infrared, and there was no obvious exposed receiver at the entrance to the wine cellar. If the user did not know where the entrance was, even if
Even if the code is deciphered, the wine cellar cannot be opened."
"By the way... I just wanted to ask." When Xiao Tan heard this, he turned to look at Xiao Ling and said, "How did you find the entrance?"
"I found it based on the texture on the floor." Xiao Ling replied.
"It's on the floor..." Xiao Tan muttered, then lowered his head to look.
Indeed, the wooden floor used in the principal's office was better than any other area they had visited before. Not only was it thick and tight, but the wooden boards were all patterned.
"Oh! I understand." Two seconds later, An Yueqin suddenly realized. "One of the three reminders in the women's restroom is used here."
"Yeah." Xiao Ling nodded in response, "The seemingly irregular graffiti on the wall of the women's restroom exactly matches the texture of the floor at the entrance of the wine cellar. When I explored this room before, I had a vague feeling that it was here.
The floor pattern seemed a bit familiar, and when I heard the group leader saying that I had to knock on the walls and floors inch by inch to find the entrance, I realized the problem."
"Then... the question comes back again." Two seconds later, Xiao Tan said to Xiao Ling again, "Then what is the eight-digit password that 'the encryption method is not complicated'?"
"42561047." The next second, Xiaoling reported the answer.
"Huh?" This time, the other five people...including Feng Bujue had the same reaction.
"How did you figure it out?" Brother Jue was the first to ask.
"It's easy. Multiply 1568 by 616512. The result is exactly a twelve-digit number, that is, 142764450816..." Xiaoling replied, "And the eight numbers in the middle refer to eight of the twelve digits.
position, the 6th position is 4, the 3rd position is 2, the 8th position is 5, the 5th position is 6, the 11th position is 1, the 9th position is 0, the next position is 6th... 4, and finally
The 4th digit...7; except for the 6th digit, which is repeated once, there are no repeated numbers in the 7 positions listed in total, that is, there is no situation where two different positions point to the same number.
This also conforms to the logic of passwords."
When she finished speaking, the audience was completely silent...
"Hey, hey, hey, hey..." After about five seconds, Gui Xiao finally reacted, "This sister...not to mention the huge pile at the back..." He paused for half a second, with a look of surprise on his face.
Asked, "You haven't even opened the calculator yet. How do you do the multiplication between two six-digit numbers?"
"Mental arithmetic." Xiaoling replied with two words.
These two words made Gui Xiao silent for another five seconds. During these five seconds, he observed the other person's expression and found that it didn't seem to be a joke. So, five seconds later, he replied with these three words: "Forget it.
You are cruel..."
"Oh, by the way..." After Gui Xiao finished speaking, Xiao Ling picked up the calculator again and shook it casually, "This calculator has no power at all. When I checked just now, I found that it cannot be used.
"It's open." After that, she threw the calculator on the table, "That's when I understood... This is not a 'necessary tool for decryption', but a 'prop that serves as a reminder'; then, a computer without
What can an electric calculator tell us? If you think about it for a moment, you will understand that it is the number of digits. This is a calculator that can display up to twelve digits, and the information it implies cannot be more obvious. Add to this the fact that the principal will not use it
Taking this point of "overly complex encryption" into consideration, it is easy to reach the above conclusion by mentally calculating the various situations of the numbers on the paper."
…………
At this moment, Gui Xiao no longer wanted to speak.
An inexplicable sense of frustration continued to expand in his heart, gradually suppressing his fears and making him upset.
Before arranging this script, Ma Junxiao felt that he was considered a talent in every way; while his peers were still studying hard in high school to prepare for the college entrance examination, he was already earning a far higher salary after graduating with a bachelor's degree.
Not enough wages.
However, arranging a script with these people on the Hell Front completely destroyed the sense of superiority that Guixiao had established after he came out to work.
He couldn't help but start thinking...thinking about a question that all professional players, e-sports players, or all people who "support themselves by playing games" have thought about it and should think about it.
That is, besides playing games, what else can you do? Or... what else can you do?
The popularity period of any game is limited. No matter how high the quality of the game is, it cannot remain popular forever. Eventually, more advanced and more adaptable games will replace them. However, some games have been around for more than ten or twenty years.
Years later, they will still be called "classics", while some of them have faded out of people's sight after being popular for a year or two, and no one cares about them anymore.
The career of any professional gamer is also limited. No matter how much glory he has achieved or how many fans he has received, he will eventually retire. Because people will age, and people age faster than games...
…and are more easily replaced.
However, people are not games. Games that are no longer popular can be removed from shelves and servers, but players who can no longer make money from games cannot just be buried on the spot, right?
Their lives are still very long and they have to go on...
After Ma Junxiao entered the game industry, he was naturally familiar with similar things. He discovered that many star players seemed to be "legends" in the minds of players. After being out of the public eye for several years... their lives were actually very ordinary.
, it can even be said to be bleak. Of course, there are also people who are doing well, such as those who use the money they earned when they were young to start a business, or those who have found a more stable behind-the-scenes job in the game industry. But the proportion of these people
Not high.
Gui Xiao is a sensible child. After watching and listening a lot, he also understands that you can play games for a lifetime, but it is probably very difficult to support yourself for a lifetime by playing games. That is not a matter of hard work or talent, but a matter of physiology.
Something that is impossible even in the world.
There are many people like him who give up their studies at a young age and enter this industry. Indeed, before the age of thirty, even if they are just blue-collar players, they can still make a good income... But, what will happen after the age of thirty?
What to do? Most of them have never thought about it. Or... they dare not think about it.
It would be best if you can stay in the gaming industry. But there are conditions for staying... capital, technology, ability... you have to have at least the same amount. Just being able to play games... is useless.
As for changing careers... that's difficult. Even if some people become professional gamers after finishing college, you can imagine how difficult it is to enter a completely unfamiliar field after a gap of more than ten years and start from the bottom. Of course.
, this group of people is pretty good... There are also many practitioners like Gui Xiao who have not finished high school, and their situation of changing careers is even more worrying.
Having said so much, I still have to say something objectively... People of Guixiao's age don't have to think about these kinds of concerns and ideas. With his conditions, he can at least be at the top of the gaming industry.
ten years, or even longer.
However, Gui Xiao has been thinking about such things for more than a day or two.
It's not like he thought of going in that direction because of the stimulation from Hell's Frontline today, although the stimulation he received today was indeed quite big...
In fact, he had thought a lot about the "future" before, and what he was thinking about his "future"... was far more than just these "realistic problems". There were also many strange ideas and questions about the world.
It always comes to his mind involuntarily...
The reason is that Ma Junxiao is not an "ordinary person", he is a candidate.
His will, talent, and potential...are all unique. But...he "now" doesn't realize this yet.
…………
Two minutes later.
The door of the wine cellar has been opened, and the password Xiaoling guessed is undoubtedly correct.
And Feng Bujue took the flashlight without hesitation and led the way into the space under the floor.
"I said..." As Brother Jue walked down the stairs, he glanced at the structure of the barrier at the entrance and muttered, "This principal of Chongjiu Primary School probably majors in engineering," he said.
When he said this, he had already walked down the not too long steps and stepped into a very small space located below the principal's office. "The entrance mechanism of this wine cellar and the matching remote control are obviously very important."
He did it himself... maybe he dug the entire wine cellar himself." He stood there for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Wait... is it possible... the principal was directly involved in the construction of this elementary school?
Where’s the project?”
"Well..." Ruoyu, who followed Brother Jue down to the wine cellar, quickly responded, "In a small town like this, it is common for projects to be handed over to companies or related people in the village." She said.
He pondered, "Assuming that this principal really majors in engineering, your speculation is indeed possible."
While they were talking, the two of them were already standing in the wine cellar.
This space is quite narrow, like a compressed subway car; in terms of height, Brother Jue can't even straighten up when standing in it, but in terms of width...it's not even possible for two people to stand side by side. If you want to switch positions, you have to
Just turn sideways. As for the length... at a glance, there is a wall five meters away.
While observing from above, Brother Jue said there was no need for six people to come down together, so at this moment, only he and Ruoyu came down, and the others stayed in the principal's room to wait.
"I think this speculation is reliable." Feng Bujue continued as he walked forward, "There is a 90% chance that a space like this was reserved in advance when the building was completed... If he is the person in charge of the project
One, it’s easy to find an excuse to do a space like this here.”
"Speaking of which... this place is really small. We both couldn't turn around when we came down." Ruoyu said at this time, "How about... I go up first?"
The moment she asked this question...
There was only a "bang" sound! The wine cellar exit behind the two people was suddenly closed. (To be continued.)
