Chapter 914 Computing Power (5K)

"I really should have immigrated earlier."

Thomas's voice was extremely weak, "The rebel armed forces have blocked my city.

Ports, highways, and flights are all suspended.

There are also inspection checkpoints along the coastline and along the trails.

I originally thought it was just a coincidence,

But after discovering that Ohm’s life and death were unknown, I realized that this was a trap.

A trap for wizards.

If the Mailman really wants to rule the world through data and information systems,

Then, those of us who are disobedient, most powerful, and most likely to discover him are undoubtedly stumbling blocks on his way forward - he does not need many people to share power with him at all.

Ohm is dead, and the mailman has begun to command the armed forces again to search the city where I am. It is estimated that it will not take long to reach my area. "

Thomas exhaled slowly: "I can't contact the American intelligence agency. He must have controlled the surveillance satellites in low-Earth orbit and penetrated into every corner of Venezuela.

Once an agent from the U.S. intelligence agency is dispatched and wants to take me to a safe house, he will instantly lock my location.

They might even launch missiles to destroy my street in order to seal the deal.

In addition, I cannot confirm the extent of the emailer's penetration into the U.S. intelligence agencies - maybe the emailer himself is a member of the intelligence agency, or it is a shadow system behind the entire revolving door.

They are unwilling to accept the decline of American hegemony, but secretly and maliciously subvert other forces.

Maybe these are all deceiving me, and he is just waiting for me to panic and throw myself into a trap.

My only way now is to find his real name before he finds me.

Threaten him with his true identity.

but...

If you heard this message, it proves that my plan failed.

My ending is self-evident. "

Thomas smiled bitterly and said: "My old friend, now you have three choices.

The first option is to sit back and pretend nothing happened. After the recording is over, leave the castle, hide, and inform the intelligence agencies of different countries.

Let them increase their efforts to search for traces of the mailman-Venezuela is relatively poor and backward, and has no strategic significance in the world.

The unrest taking place here is clearly an experiment, a large-scale attempt to subvert other political entities.

A wizard in a foreign country can make automated decision-making systems in all regions of the world work for him without even moving a finger.

This fear will definitely make the intelligence agencies of all countries take quick action.

And as long as the news spreads widely enough? Then even if the person behind the mail is really the Social Security Administration or other departments of the United States, they must also make an explanation to other shaken political entities.

Abort the Mailman program completely? Or break out World War III...

The possibility of the latter is relatively small. After all, the United States' Zeus system (a low-Earth orbit military satellite that can emit lasers to destroy intercontinental missiles) is not unique in the world.

Even if a world war breaks out, there won't be intercontinental nuclear bombs flying all over the sky?

Instead, it became a traditional war involving conventional armies of land, sea and air.

The second option is to no longer perform plane walking? Completely abandon the brain-computer interface device.

Enjoy the rest of your life quietly? Watch the crazy behavior of the mailer with a cold eye.

Your whereabouts have not been completely exposed, and the emailer has not yet found your real name.

Now you are taking your savings and living in a deep mountain and old forest where the Internet is completely disconnected. Maybe the Third World War without nuclear missiles has passed, and you don't even know what happened.

And the third option..."

Thomas's usually frivolous voice suddenly became serious, "After leaving this message? I will start trying to seize control of several giant computers in South America?"

If the plan goes well? Can I smoothly take over the giant calculator? First start cleaning the data centers in various regions of South America - the mailman is always in control of Venezuela's automated decision-making system?

He not only needs to conceal his whereabouts, but also needs to use a large number of processors to perform calculations so that he can adjust the automated decision-making system.

Then he will definitely not set the calculation location too far away, it must be near the South American mainland.

Otherwise the bandwidth required for cross-border transmission would be too obvious.

Top wizards, like you and me, find out pretty quickly.

Assuming that the major data centers in South America are not found, then I will start to check the communication satellites in low earth orbit one by one. "

There was a hint of trademark cunning in Thomas's voice, "This is also my conspiracy.

Regardless of whether the plan to find the mailman succeeds or not, I will destroy it at the data level.

When you hear this message,

If there is news in the real world [South American data center was invaded by wizards],

So my guess is correct, the mailman, or at least his algorithm, is hidden in the data center.

I will fight him to the death.

If there is no news about [South American data center being hacked] in the real world,

Then my guess is also correct. The Mailman is also hiding in the data center, but his power is far greater than mine.

It can completely control me before I can cause damage.

If in the real world, there is news about [South American data centers being hacked], but there is no news about [Low-Earth orbit communication satellites being hacked by wizards],

It proves that the mailman is hiding in the communication satellite. "

After Thomas finished this convoluted and tongue-twisting speculation, he said in a deep voice: "I may not be able to defeat the mailman, but at least I can seriously injure him or leave traces in the center of the battlefield.

You can go to the battlefield center to look for clues.

No matter how talented the Mailman is, he will not risk complete exposure by destroying data centers or communication satellites at this stage - he may not have the ability.

In short,

The choice is yours whether to fight him or not.

My message is over, remember to delete the conversation record of the castle waiter program. I wish you good luck, my friend. "

With a beep sound, the message playback program embedded in the chessboard is automatically formatted.

Li Ang picked up the last sunspot and slowly lay down on the seat.

He could hear, not far behind, Merlin and Ohm, still acting like salesmen,

Promoting their "great cause" with the Mailman.

If Thomas hadn't lied, then Ohm, who was standing there with a simple smile, would have been an empty shell...

While Li Ang was playing chess, Merlin and the others did not look over.

The typewriter also stayed on the table, showing no signs of automatically typing.

"..."

Li Ang rubbed the dragon's whiskers of the mask, his brain was working rapidly.

Distinguish authenticity, calculate risks, and estimate gains and losses.

His impression of Thomas came entirely from Brown Murphy's memory.

But listening to the half-frivolous, half-serious voice in the message,

Thomas' black and white round face (Thomas's image in the virtual world is the little train in the classic children's animation) slowly emerged in front of his eyes, extremely clear.

"call..."

Li Ang let out a breath, threw the chess pieces on the table casually, and snapped his fingers to make the chessboard disappear.

He turned his head and looked left and right, as if he was bored because Thomas himself had not arrived for a long time.

After waiting for a moment, he slapped his thigh, stood up from the sofa, and walked towards the castle gate.

"Sammaster, are you leaving so early today?"

Merlin, who was standing not far away, smiled and waved to Li Ang, "Aren't you going to stay? There is a cocktail party tonight."

"Not today."

Li Ang waved his hand, walked straight to the main entrance of the castle, and pushed the door open.

Leaving the Wizards of the Coast stronghold is much easier than when you arrived.

The complexity of the transparent ladder plummeted. Li Ang stepped on the hanging ladder without haste, crossed the canyon, and came to the opposite side of the rift valley.

The female investigator transformed into a cricket, lying on the trunk of a tree, motionless, for fear of causing attacks from the surrounding automated programs - her talent for walking in the data plane could only be described as average.

Besieged by the program "Death" is small,

It's great to attract the attention of other wizards and even mailers.

Seeing Li Ang finally walking out of the castle, the tentacles on Cricket's head moved.

Li Ang's palm hooked imperceptibly, and the cricket immediately bounced off the bark of the tree and landed in Li Ang's palm.

Cricket said nervously: "How's it going? News from the mailman."

Li Ang did not answer in a hurry, and quickly passed through the entire rain forest, far away from the scope of the Wizards of the Coast Association.

As the distance increases, the rainforest gradually disappears and turns into an ordinary wasteland scene.

As Li Ang strode towards the optical fiber network, he spoke very quickly and informed him of the message he had heard from Thomas.

Thomas speculates that the recent turmoil in Venezuela is man-made.

The female investigator and the Social Security Administration behind her were greatly shocked. For a few minutes, the cricket seemed to turn into a statue and remained motionless.

The Mailman's plan is not just to usurp power in the United States, he even wants to vertically rule the entire world.

Venezuela, with a population of 31 million, is just the first small piece of territory for him.

Li Ang ignored the frozen cricket.

At this time, the authority of the female investigator and even her superiors is definitely not enough, and the information has definitely been reported to the public.

Although the U.S. decision-making system has always been slow and lazy, life is at stake, and they have to act quickly if they don't want to.

Soon, the cricket's tentacles moved.

There was a hint of imperceptible fear in the female investigator's voice, and her tone was much calmer and more polite, "What are you going to do?"

"Give me control of the entire federal data system, let me control all federal data computing centers, open to me confidential local area networks including military systems, and let me retrieve all old data."

Li Ang's tone was calm, as if he was saying that he would have egg fried rice tonight.

"impossible."

The female investigator refused without thinking, "One email person is troublesome enough, we don't need a second one."

The wizard's talent for data manipulation is extraordinary power.

The computing power of the processor possessed by the wizard is the total upper limit of extraordinary power.

The bandwidth controlled by the wizard is the output efficiency of extraordinary power.

Let Li Ang access the data system and open all permissions to him.

This means that Li Ang can see all the secrets accumulated in the federal data system for decades at a glance.

It can be as small as corruption or bribery by a certain person or group,

It ranges from confidential military action records to the specific locations of missile bases.

"You are holding a gun to my head in the real world, okay? If I guess correctly, you have also arranged snipers in the houses near the community."

Li Ang said helplessly, "If I make any move, you can kill me with one shot."

"Your application will not be approved."

The female investigator’s voice became calm again,

The wizard's methods are many and complicated, and Li Ang can commit countless dangerous actions in the short time he takes over the authority.

Leaking secrets and letting hostile forces know about the deployment of U.S. military forces is the least serious matter.

If he takes the opportunity to hack into the military system and launch missiles - even if only one or two succeed, it will be enough to cause the largest man-made disaster in this century.

Well...the previous unrest in Venezuela doesn't count.

"But we can give you other help."

Cricket said: "Where are you going now?"

"Venezuela."

Li Ang spoke cleanly. He stretched out his hand and touched the outside of the optical fiber tunnel, and his figure disappeared instantly.

————

The feeling of traveling through the optical fiber tunnel is similar to the transmission of the killing field system.

The next second, Li Ang jumped out of the tunnel and arrived at the Venezuelan network node.

The image here is like a modern city,

There are rows of high-rise buildings (large data centers),

There are also small bungalows dotted here and there (servers for small and medium-sized enterprises),

There are some automated programs walking on the streets responsible for vigilance.

In fact, there is no news about [South American data center being invaded by wizards] in the real world today.

But that doesn't mean Thomas was wrong.

Li Ang was suspended in mid-air, with invisible and immaterial divine power pouring out around him.

Like sunlight shining on the surface of the city.

The high-rise buildings transformed from large data centers immediately revealed their flaws.

Its surface melted like a candle, revealing its devastated nature.

Last night, a big battle broke out here. Both sides were top wizards, but one side's computing power was obviously superior. Not only did it eliminate its opponent, it also had the remaining power to create the illusion that everything was normal...

"Detected, foreign intrusion program.

Strategy: Clear. "

The automatically programmed omnic on the surface, its eyes turned from black to red, and attacked Li Ang without any hesitation.

At the same time, a dark sky quickly rose on the edge of the city, covering the entire network node.

This is a trap.

This idea suddenly appeared in Li Ang's mind, and the green data in his hand flowed, forming the shape of a bully.

A sweeping sweep smashed the large number of anti-virus programs rushing towards him.

Bang bang bang.

The Colt revolver fires continuously, and each shot can wipe out more than ten anti-virus programs.

The script world does not need to suppress strength;

Li Ang easily cleared the obstacles and rushed towards the most dilapidated data center.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up,

Li Ang's pupils shrank, and he stepped hard on the steps formed by the "Ladder Cloud" with his soles. His waist was twisted backwards at a strange and counterintuitive angle.

The Overlord Henglanshan in his hand was blocked in front of him.

boom! ! !

A giant fireball with a diameter of twenty meters flew from nowhere and instantly engulfed Li Ang's figure.

The explosion and flames shot straight into the sky.

After a few seconds, the flames dissipated,

Li Ang landed on the edge of the wall of the ruins of the data center. His white coat was in tatters and full of burn marks.

"..."

Li Ang remained silent, patted his chest lightly with his palm, and activated the alchemy, causing the dragon head mask and white coat to grow again.

Was attacked by surprise,

The sneak attacker was none other than Merlin, who was slowly landing in the distance.

"Sammaster, Sammaster."

Merlin held the staff, shook his head, and slowly landed on the top of a tall building, sighing: "Why are you so stubborn?

Don't let go of the good opportunity to become a master, you have to go against us. "

"Are you following me?"

Li Ang glanced at the palm of his hand. The green cricket transformed by the female investigator had not withstood the impact of the fireball just now and had dissipated.

Looking up again, the dark sky has enveloped the entire network node.

The stars that symbolize communication satellites in the sky cannot be seen.

This place has been blocked.

Well, since Mailman can manipulate the Venezuelan armed forces, it is not difficult to send troops to directly take over the data center in the real world.

"track?"

Merlin shook his head and said: "Your skills are actually not as strong as you think, and I am not as weak as you think.

Thomas thought he was very powerful, but he died in my hands in the end.

With his character, it is impossible not to have a backup plan.

After playing a game of chess with the automaton he left behind, you left the castle - it was too obvious.

You are too hasty. "

"Were you the one who fought him yesterday? When you say death, do you mean the data world or the real world?"

Li Ang frowned and said: "Wait a minute, you should know that Ohm, who first cooperated with the mailman,

Did he die in Venezuela in the real world?

What the Mailman wants is to rule the world, and to do this he needs to eliminate all the witches who threaten him one by one.

First Ohm, then Thomas, then me.

Your cooperation with him is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger..."

Merlin seemed not to have heard Li Ang's words, with a calm expression and said to himself: "I will give you one last chance, agree to cooperate with us, and I can let you live.

If you don't agree, I will kill you and find out your real name,

Finally, in the real world, I will kill you again. "

"you know."

Li Ang's eyes flashed, "You know that Ohm and Thomas are dead, and you don't care at all...

What benefits has the Mailman given you?

No, with your character,

No matter how much the mailman promises, they are nothing in the face of death.

You decided that the emailer couldn't do anything to you,

So you have a real-world partnership with the mailman? Do you have his real name? Or are you the mail person? "

"well..."

Li Ang's attitude of asking questions by himself made Merlin let out a long sigh, tightened his grip on the wooden staff, and said leisurely: "If you are not willing to cooperate, then go to hell."

Boom.

The long wooden staff was hammered heavily on the roof of the building.

A server that originally belonged to a company in Venezuela was instantly taken over by Merlin, providing a large amount of computing power.

A large number of tree people grew out of the soil, waving their branches and arms, taking steps, and rushed towards Li Ang.
