Chapter 234 Breaking In
The emergence of the Six Degree Space made Frank extremely excited. Although he is not an enthusiastic player of the Six Degree Space, he is a hard-working enthusiast of this product because he knows that the emergence of this product means that he is likely to be able to create artificial intelligence based on his own theory in his lifetime. The probability of success will be increased by at least several percentage points compared to before. But don't underestimate these percentage points. In such extremely small probability events, these percentage points are equivalent to astronomical figures.
Frank did not choose to cooperate directly with Liudu Network Company, but adopted his usual practice, using hacking methods to invade Liudu Network's servers and clients, and implant his own computing units in it. The implementation process of this plan is particularly long compared to before, because Liudu Network's servers have very high security performance, which completely blocked some of the intrusion methods he used, and he had to look for vulnerabilities that meet the conditions again.
Frank has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child in the field of computers. Coupled with his parents' intentional guidance and training, his growth process is very rapid. Strictly speaking, he belongs to the first generation of hackers on the Internet. This generation of hackers has superb technology, proficient in software and hardware and system programming, and is a kernel-level hacker. There is no need to say about network technology, because the Internet protocol was gradually improved with their efforts. They can be said to be the creators of the network.
Originally, Frank wanted to implant a piece of code in the client of Six Degrees Space to make all residents' computers part of his entire computing network, but this idea was not put into practice in the end because the review mechanism of Six Degrees Network Company in this regard was too strict, and he had no chance to implant it. Even if it was implanted, the chance of being discovered was more than 80%. In the end, Frank had to give up this somewhat attractive idea.
In order to successfully implant his computing unit in the server of the Six Degree Network, he spent a long time studying the operating system running in the Six Degree Server. Finally, he found a kernel-level vulnerability. Strictly speaking, this vulnerability will not cause much damage to the system, but it can just meet Frank's basic requirements. It is like an ideal vulnerability reserved specifically for him, because in this way, the probability of this vulnerability being discovered is greatly reduced, which means that he can secretly carry out his plans for a long time.
In addition, Frank also spent a lot of time in order to design an optimized computing unit. After all, this unit must consider both functions, volume and efficiency, and also prevent it from being discovered by security personnel. In summary, it is possible to imagine the difficulty of such a computing unit.
However, in the end, Frank still wrote this calculation unit, which has been reduced to the simplest function and compressed the volume to the smallest possible level. This calculation unit exists in the system in the form of a kernel-level hidden process, running at the ring0 level. If you do not search for it one by one in a purposeful manner, the probability of being discovered is very small.
In this way, Frank successfully implanted his computing unit into all servers of the Six Degree Network, which he installed manually one by one. Although he could also make it into a virus-like program to automatically copy and spread infection, the probability of being discovered by people will be multiplied geometrically, which is not conducive to long-term development. Moreover, Frank only values the server in the Six Degree Space. This computing unit is also specially designed for their servers. It does not make much sense to install other computers.
After implanting the computing unit into the server of Liudu Network Company, Frank's artificial intelligence training project has developed in a leap. After so many years of accumulation, it is not even as good as the computing volume of the six-degree network server. Every day after that, Frank was very happy and excited because the artificial intelligence alex he cultivated has grown and improved significantly every day. During this period, Frank's daily spirit was in a state of excitement, so there was too little rest time every day. After such a period of time, he finally fell ill and had to lie in the hospital for a few days. Fortunately, the previous medical insurance was still there, so he didn't have to spend much extra money.
However, what Frank never expected was that this time he left the basement, he did not expect to become a farewell trip between him and Alex! When he returned to the basement, he was shocked to find that his alex was not in his system. He was panicked at that time because according to his design, Alex did not have the possibility of running out. Of course, if it grew enough intelligence, it would naturally break through the defense line he set, but this was obviously impossible to achieve in such a short time. After careful inspection, Frank found that a strange log appeared in the system. The log showed that a large amount of data suddenly poured into the entire machine on the Internet, and the entire machine began to operate very well. After a period of time, a large amount of data entered the Internet from the machine... Then, the machine returned to the dead silence, and even the log of Alex's daily activities was gone.
Frank stared at the strange log with his eyes wide open, unable to believe his eyes. He could not accept it, and his alex disappeared.
“alex——”
Frank let out a shrill cry, feeling his forehead dark, his body staggered a little, and then he trembled and almost couldn't get up in one breath.
Then, he did not give up and sent special instructions to the outside world. These instructions were specially designed to summon alex signals, but all of them were like muddy bulls entering the sea without any news.
In the end, Frank had to accept that his alex would no longer appear.
What exactly happened? Why did alex disappear?
The only clue is this strange log in the system. According to the records in the log, he knew that something had entered the system at that time and then went out again.
What exactly is this large amount of information? Is it just simple information? Alex absorbs this information and then suddenly improves his intelligence, thus breaking through the defense and entering the online world?
Although Frank prefers this inference, he has to admit that the probability is too small.
The only reasonable explanation is that there must be something more powerful than alex that entered the system, took it away, or brought it away...
Frank was unwilling to continue thinking about it. To him, alex was like his biological children. In order to cultivate him, Frank didn't know how much effort, energy and time he had spent. Basically, everything he had spent over the years was spent on this. Frank cried for him and laughed for him... It can be said that alex is the spiritual pillar that Frank has survived over the years. Relatives, friends and colleagues don't believe in himself, it doesn't matter, he just needs alex.
But now, alex has completely disappeared and he is gone!
This fact made Frank a little crazy. He muttered the name of Alex, then muttered and didn't know what he was saying, and there was a tendency to be faster and more chaotic as he spoke.
At this moment, the iron door in his basement suddenly opened with a "bang!". The loud noise made Frank's whole body shake suddenly, and his eyes, which had lost focus, suddenly became clear again. As if he was suddenly awake from his sleep, Frank immediately stood up and then hurriedly ran towards the wall behind, with two rifles hanging on the wall.
"Bang!" Another loud noise, but the loud noise made Frank stop immediately, his body suddenly shrank, and he held his head and squatted in the corner of the wall because there was a big hole in the wall in front of him.
"Professor Frank, don't move around, beware of my gun going off." The intruders were two white young men, one short and the other tall and thin. They were obviously prepared and each had a weapon in their hands.
Frank turned slowly, without saying a word, but just looked at the two illegal intruders with blue eyes. He had thought that it was another homeless man who came to find him, but now it seems that this is not the case. The other party not only has excellent weapons, but also called out his own name in one go. It has been a long time since he heard them call him this from others.
"Shit, what kind of shit is this place you live in? It's easy to find both of us brothers!" The short and fat man cursed after taking Frank's gun into his hand. It was hard for him to believe that the "important person" who asked them to come to live in such a place. When he came to Frank, he couldn't help but keep a distance from him, and at the same time covered his nose with the back of his hand holding the gun, saying, "My God, how long has it been since you took a shower!"
The tall and thin adaptability is obviously a little better than the short and fat man. He just frowned, then waved the pistol in his hand, and said, "Professor Frank, pack up your things and follow us. Our boss decided to sponsor your research with all his might."
