"What do you mean!"

"As soon as we ran that signal to decipher it, there was a problem with the equipment. I'm afraid we intercepted a signal from an extraterrestrial civilization as you expected."

"Hopefully things don't get too bad!"

Queller's worries are not unreasonable. From the discovery and interception of this mysterious signal to the unknown attack on the equipment, there is an inevitable connection between the two.

If the equipment crash was really caused by this extraterrestrial signal, although it can be 100% confirmed that it came from extraterrestrial civilization, we don’t know whether the situation will continue to deteriorate.

He does not want to become a sinner of the entire human civilization.

"It's impossible what you said. It's just a coincidence." Roman pretended to be calm to refute Queller, but underneath his calm appearance was actually panic.

After all, who would have thought that this mysterious signal could be triggered to independently obtain information from the Earth and the planet.

If he had known this, he would never have touched this hot potato.

How about handing it over directly to the security building.

But now that things have happened, even if you want to undo it, you are powerless.

At the moment, they can only pray that only their devices are affected, or that this incident has nothing to do with the mysterious signal at all.

…

…

at the same time.

Toboli.

In an Internet company, an employee who was using a holographic terminal device to work as usual was about to submit a plan he had written. The next second, he suddenly discovered that he had lost control of the device, and at the same time, Star Shield popped up an alert window indicating that he was under attack.

And as if in series, devices throughout the company have black screens and crashes.

Instantly there was a lot of banging on the table.

"Shet!"

"What the hell is going on? Why does the device suddenly freeze?"

"Damn it."

"Fake Squid, the plan I just made."

What's even more frightening is that this situation is still spreading rapidly to the surrounding areas with Doboli as the center.

certainly.

Future technology is not a vegetarian either.

After Star Shield has been upgraded many times by Star Pupil, it has now become a necessary installation program for holographic terminal equipment.

An emergency like today has caused a large number of devices equipped with Star Shield security protection programs to be attacked. Star Pupil will naturally receive the information as soon as possible.

In addition, this was the most serious attack in recent years. In addition to immediately mobilizing computing power to try to intercept and eliminate the virus program, Xingtong immediately reported it to Xu Lei.

Because according to her calculations, this unexpected incident was by no means as simple as it appeared.

——

"Academician Xu."

"These are some design drawings about the construction of the fusion power station in Jingzhou City. Please take a look."

"If there is anything inappropriate, I will correct it immediately."

Jingzhou City.

Fusion power station temporary command center.

Xu Lei, who was sitting on a chair, took the document from an engineering staff member and then lowered his eyes to read it carefully.

It has been more than a month since he arrived here from Binjiang City. In order to make the progress of Jingzhou City's fusion power station project catch up with the other two, Xu Lei did not return to Binjiang City during the Spring Festival.

The goal is to put the three fusion power plants into operation at the same time as much as possible.

This will directly gain enough influence.

As a result, the Jingzhou City fusion power plant project was continuously delayed due to personnel experience issues.

This made Xu Lei not only have to enter the virtual world through a virtual helmet to train these people, but he also had to go through the design drawings in person before he could feel at ease.

Although this disguised situation has put more pressure on myself, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the Jingzhou fusion power station, this is the only way to do it at the moment.

Fortunately, Xingtong's mechanical body was there, which also helped him share a lot of pressure.

Otherwise, his body may not be able to sustain it.

After all, the physical strength of carbon-based life forms is completely incomparable to mechanical bodies.

Not long after.

When Xu Lei roughly browsed through the design drawings and determined that there were no problems, he handed the document over and did not hesitate to praise it.

"No problem, just implement it according to this."

"Okay, Academician Xu."

The engineering staff who took the document from Xu Lei suddenly became excited after hearing Xu Lei's affirmation of their work. They were stunned for a moment before quickly nodding in response.

It is worth mentioning that the other party did not stay in the office for long.

It seems that he wants to get into work as soon as possible to repay Xu Lei's affirmation. After confirming that the design plan is feasible, he turns around and leaves.

But Xu Lei didn't have any time to idle.

Just as he was about to pick up the cup at hand and take a sip of tea, he saw Xing Tong walking over again.

Without waiting for questioning, he immediately reported the report: "Boss, half a minute ago, many holographic terminal devices in the overseas Doboli area were attacked by unknown programs. The protection of Star Shield was ineffective."

"What?"

"It didn't work?"

Xu Lei, who was relatively relaxed at first, straightened up immediately after hearing Xingtong's report.

A look of confusion appeared on his face.

He is clear about the level of security protection of Star Shield. With Star Tong's proactive upgrade, it stands to reason that it is impossible for a program virus to break through its protection.

This is also the reason why information data has become more and more secure in recent years.

Otherwise, Star Shield would not be able to gain billions of users.

It has become the product with the largest number of online users under Future Technology.

But now such an undefeated myth in the field of network security protection has been defeated.

And according to the information Xingtong told, it seems that the defeat was very complete, which was something Xu Lei found hard to believe.

So after quickly coming to his senses, he quickly asked about the specific situation.

"What the hell is going on?"

"How many devices were attacked in total and were they successfully intercepted?"

Xu Lei clearly remembers that the original Star Shield was born because the security building specially created an enhanced version of the ransomware virus to target future technologies and blocked the data information of domestic users.

It cannot be opened without the secret key.

For this reason, Xu Lei specially launched Star Shield with the help of Xing Tong to restore users' data information.

Later, for some unknown reason, even overseas users fell victim to the scam in large numbers, causing huge losses to individuals and companies.

Faced with this situation, the other party had no choice but to open up restrictions and allow Star Shield to be launched in overseas markets.

As for the final result?

Star Shield successfully occupied the global market, but in terms of security building, it stole the chicken but lost the rice, and suffered a dumb loss.

So after hearing the news that a device had been attacked by an unknown attack, Xu Lei's first reaction was to speculate whether some overseas forces had developed a new virus program.

But let’s not talk about whether they have the level to develop a program to overcome the Star Shield protection. Under normal circumstances, it should break out in Binjiang City or other important cities. How can you beat your own people?

This is where Xu Lei is more confused.

However, being able to ignore the protection of the Star Shield shows that this procedure is extremely dangerous, and the top priority is to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.

Just as these thoughts flashed through my mind, Xing Tong's voice suddenly sounded in my ears again.

"The origin of the virus program is unknown."

"According to feedback from Star Shield, the first device under attack came from the Arecibo Observatory."

"The number of damaged devices is 136."

"At present, the unknown program has been successfully intercepted, but it cannot be completely eliminated for the time being. We request to call a quantum computer to calculate and analyze it."

If Xu Lei was confused and surprised by this incident just now, then after hearing Xing Tong's report, he was full of shock.

I even thought for a while that I heard it wrong.

Xingtong has gradually grown from the original artificial intelligence through the collection and analysis of massive data. After creating a quantum computer, it has become a real intelligent brain program.
