Hearing this, Zhou Jianlin's expression suddenly changed and he quickly took the paper bag and opened it. There were indeed only two documents inside.
"We will decipher it as soon as possible."
After flipping through the documents, Academician Zhou Jianlin said solemnly.
"Sorry for the trouble, the relevant email has been sent to everyone's mailbox. Please contact me as soon as possible after it is deciphered. I will be waiting outside the door."
The young staff member bowed, turned around and left, closing the door behind him.
"Everyone, there are only two encrypted messages today. Try your best to decipher them. The emails are already in your mailboxes."
The staff left, and Academician Zhou Jianlin quickly issued instructions.
As the order was issued, the entire mathematics department of the Information Security Department quickly moved into action, and everyone was extremely nervous.
There are only two encrypted messages, and there is no doubt that these two messages must contain important content.
At the same time, the door was pushed open again, and Zhang Weiping walked in with some documents.
"Lao Zhang, come on, there are new encrypted messages, and there are only two today."
Seeing Zhang Weiping, Zhou Jianlin quickly called out.
Hearing the sound, Zhang Weiping, who had just walked in, stopped for a moment, and then quickly said: "Okay, I'll be right there."
"You sit down for a moment and I'll take care of things first."
Putting the documents in his hands on the table, Zhang Weiping hurriedly said something to Xu Chuan, and then returned to his seat.
Xu Chuan nodded, did not speak, and did not go over to read the encrypted message. He just stayed in his seat quietly.
He had just arrived, and there were no computer equipment or tools on the table, so it was not his turn to do the deciphering work today.
The best thing to do is to wait quietly aside as you are doing now, and be a little transparent so as not to interfere with other people's work.
...
In the busy room, everyone is performing their respective duties and working intensively.
Even Xu Chuan was affected by the atmosphere and swallowed his saliva nervously.
As usual, today's intercepted messages used a brand new logical algorithm. Even if there were only two messages, it was not easy to decipher them.
Or, to put it another way, if these two pieces of information really contain important content, then it will definitely be more difficult to decipher than usual.
But the reality was somewhat unexpected. It took only about an hour for the deciphering work to begin, and someone completed the deciphering of the first message.
"The first encrypted message has been decoded. It is useless information."
In a familiar field, Professor Wang Yuan of Shuimu University deciphered the first function encryption message after an hour of busy work.
But the results displayed made him frown.
After translation, the square paper card had a sentence written on it.
"I heard that today is the Lantern Festival in your country, so I would like to say hello to you and prepare a gift for you."
The deciphered words made Professor Wang Yuan of Shuimu frown, wondering what Yangzi from the first district wanted to do.
The first encrypted message was useless information, which speeded up the mathematicians who were deciphering the second message.
Half an hour later, the second encrypted message was decrypted by Academician Zhou Jianlin of P University.
"Congratulations, you successfully unlocked the gift we gave you, but I'm sorry, the previous message was just for fun. You are a group of ignorant people. How can you be our opponent? Even if you can intercept us
The message can be deciphered, but what can it do? There is nothing you can do to stop it."
"A dog running on the ground can never catch up with an eagle in the sky, so it's better to save your energy."
...
The encrypted message was decrypted, and Academician Zhou Jianlin of P University was the first to see it. His face turned red and his chest kept rising and falling.
Zhang Weiping leaned over and glanced at the screen. The translated text made people angry and he clenched his fists.
Before they could calm down and pass on the deciphered information, the office door was opened again, and an elderly man with gray hair walked in.
"Has the encrypted message been deciphered today? Academician Zhang." The elderly man walked quickly to Zhang Weiping and asked.
"It's been deciphered, but it's useless information."
Zhang Weiping took a few deep breaths of air to calm down.
"Let me see."
Zhang Weiping gave up his position and handed the cracked plain text to the leader of the Information Security Department in front of him.
Wu Weiguo took the paper card and looked at the clear text on it. His originally calm face became visibly gloomy.
The paper card in his hand made a small tearing sound, and was crumpled into a ball with his tightly clenched palms.
"shame!"
The heavy breathing suppressed the outburst of anger. For a person who was born in a military family and participated in the self-defense counterattack, this was undoubtedly the greatest insult.
However, Wu Weiguo finally suppressed the anger in his heart and tightly clutched the paper card in his hand.
"Academician Zhang, find a way to speed up the cracking. No matter what method you use, what resources and talents are needed, as long as you can provide them, I will provide them. I want to turn this 'eagle' into a poultry."
After suppressing the anger in his heart, Wu Weiguo issued the order.
As an old intelligence agent who has been on the battlefield, and as an intelligence officer who has survived through the hail of bullets with a telegraph machine in hand, he knows the importance of intelligence exchange in invisible and hidden corners under the battlefield.
Sometimes, a piece of intelligence and encrypted information has the power to cause greater damage and is more dangerous than countless guns and bullets.
Just like once, during a battle on the island of New Guinea, after the small island country next door accidentally lost a set of codes, the cryptography experts from the first Asian country cracked the entire set of codes in less than six hours.
In the subsequent war, the timeliness of information and intelligence directly caused the small island country to lose all the way from the Midway Islands to the mainland.
This shows the importance of the intelligence system.
But now he is old after all and cannot keep up with the times.
In today's era of comprehensive informatization, he is full of enthusiasm but powerless.
The various encryption methods and experience accumulated in his hands over the past years have now been eliminated.
Morse code, encrypted communications, alternative transcoding, NKVD encryption...these methods used on the battlefield decades ago have now been completely eliminated.
Instead, more complex encryption methods are used.
These encryption methods constructed from a huge mathematical system are undoubtedly a sacred book for him, an old man who has already gone to the grave. Those previous experiences are useless now.
There really isn't much he can do now. All he can do now is do a good job in logistics and secure more resources.
And I believe in this group of people who work hard for the country, whether they are the mathematicians sitting here, the cryptography experts next door, or the countless personnel standing guard for information security.
