Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 169 Hot Events
At the current stage, the average amount of data generated by the human world every day is as high as about one trillion gigabytes.These data, or a picture, a movie, a piece of music, a piece of mail, text messages, voice messages, and so on.

In this information age, human beings have truly become digital individuals.The Internet has truly become one of the most important infrastructures.

The Global Internet Information Monitoring Center was established based on this reality.Its purpose is to ensure the orderly operation of the Internet and escort it.

It has many responsibilities and is very complicated, almost intersecting with any government department.For example, collecting illegal and criminal information, monitoring certain data changes and the like.

Monitoring changes in public opinion is of course also one of its responsibilities.

At this moment, Lu Ming came here and met with a supervisor named Ma.

He is one of the heads of the public opinion monitoring department of the Internet Information Monitoring Center.

After Lu Ming showed his ID, Director Ma's attitude became more and more enthusiastic.

It is rare to have such a level of security chief at Lu Ming's young age.

"Secretary Lu, hello, hello."

After warmly greeting Lu Ming, Director Ma took him to his office.

After explaining his purpose, Manager Ma immediately agreed and made arrangements immediately.

Not long after, a young man with disheveled hair and glasses walked in.

"This is the technical engineer of the AI ​​department. Xiao Li, you cooperate with Sergeant Lu and screen out the information that Sergeant Lu needs to give him."

"Yes."

"AI department?"

Lu Ming was slightly puzzled.

Seeing that Lu Ming didn't know much about this, the engineer named Xiao Li explained: "It is impossible to monitor public opinion by manpower alone. There are billions of active Internet users in the world, and the daily There is a huge amount of information, and under the chaotic state, every insignificant thing may develop into a major public opinion by chance.

Based on this, we developed and trained an AI system, which monitors the entire Internet at all times, and preliminarily screens out things that have the potential to become hot events.Well, this step can filter out up to 99.9999% of the candidates.

Judging from past data, its error rate is very low.Even if the first step is wrong, according to the subsequent development, it can make timely adjustments.On the whole, the hit rate can be considered to be [-]%.

After that, according to the different nature of the incident, we can make a decision on the next step, whether to ignore it and let it develop, or to add fuel to the flames, or to reduce the heat, no matter how convenient it is.

This system can also intelligently analyze whether there are other forces secretly promoting in an incident to achieve some purpose.If it is normal commercial propaganda, then ignore it. If there is any dark conspiracy, it will be handed over to your public security department for disposal. "

This engineer named Xiao Li is obviously a technical nerd, and when it comes to his own field at the moment, he immediately eloquently and eloquently.Director Ma was a little embarrassed listening, and wanted to stop him, but seeing that Lu Ming was also listening attentively, he had no choice but to hold back.

"sharp."

After listening to Engineer Li's explanation, Lu Ming admired him sincerely.Immediately, he had another doubt: "The Internet generates so much data every day, even if there are only 0.0001% of events, the number should be a lot. What should we do about these things?"

Engineer Li scratched his head in embarrassment, and a little dandruff drifted down with the wind: "There is no way, our AI is not a real person after all, and its intelligence is limited. For the rest, we can only rely on manual review and attention gone."

Director Ma said with a dry smile: "The manual review department has the most staff in the public opinion monitoring department. Okay, let's not talk about this, Xiao Li, I will leave this matter to you, and you must do it well."

"no problem."

Supervisor Ma left in a hurry.Engineer Li invited: "Officer Lu, you can go to our public opinion monitoring hall to have a look."

"You don't have to be so polite, just call me Lu Ming."

The two went to a higher floor together.Xiao Li pushed open a door, and immediately, a huge room like a large movie theater came into his sight.

On the side of the hall, there are rows of office seats, which are divided into hundreds of small areas, and each area is occupied by seven or eight people.People are either staring at the computer screen and typing on the keyboard quickly, or discussing something with each other.

At the end of the hall, there is a huge screen that is bigger than the curtain of a movie theater.A huge map of the world is displayed on it, countless numbers of data in the corners of the map are flashing rapidly, and countless red dots are flashing in different parts of the map.

Some of those red dots are big and some are small, and the flickering frequency is also different.Among them, Lu Ming saw the biggest red dot at a glance.

"what is that?"

Xiao Li looked at his smart watch, and then said angrily: "Star A and Star B officially announced their relationship. Star C publicly claimed that Star B had abandoned him from beginning to end. Star A retorted, claiming that Star C's best friend was backstabbed, and Star B He also claimed that his original intention was the same..."

"Stop, stop."

Lu Ming only felt that his head was being messed up by this complicated relationship, so he quickly stopped Xiao Li: "That's it? The heat is so high?"

Xiao Li resentfully said: "That's not true. Current monitoring shows that a total of more than [-] million people have expressed their views on this matter. On major forums, blogs, and social software, there are more than [-] hot topics about this matter. On average, tens of billions of gigabytes of data related to this matter are generated every day..."

Lu Ming was speechless: "Here, are you full enough?"

"Isn't that right, the people who eat melons are full of melons..."

At the current stage, this incident occupies the top spot of public opinion with an overwhelming advantage.For the rest of the hotspots, Lu Ming glanced roughly, and saw such as the birthday party of a certain star, a certain star made a small cut with his finger on the filming scene, and was rushed to the hospital. On the way, there were only red eye circles but no tears. , praised as a strong man, a model of the new era...

"So many resources are wasted on this kind of thing."

Lu Ming felt a little sorry at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that this is the normal state of society.

Ordinary people can waste their energy on such things, at least it can prove that their lives are still good at this stage.

If you can't even survive, no one is too lazy to invest a little energy in this kind of thing.

Isn't this the source of motivation for me and my teammates to struggle?
After getting a general understanding of the workflow of the Internet Information Monitoring Center, under the leadership of Xiao Li, Lu Ming came to a special meeting room, where several people had already been waiting in advance.

"This is Sergeant Lu from the Public Security Bureau. There are some matters that need our cooperation. Supervisor Ma ordered me to take charge of this matter."

Xiao Li made some introductions and looked at Lu Ming: "What are the information screening criteria?"

Lu Ming said hello first, and then told a few screening criteria that had been prepared.

"First, it can be relatively clearly confirmed that it was not intentional, or there is a relatively clear method to rule out the suspicion of intentional.

Second, it has the potential to become, or has become a hot event.According to your grading standards, um... probably at level three or above.

Third, the fields of science or engineering belong to the category of science and engineering, not the category of literature and history.

Well, if you're not sure, just leave it to me. "

After discussing for a while, several people understood what they needed to do, and they dispersed.

Among them, Xiao Li is responsible for adding screening rules to AI to complete the preliminary screening.Afterwards, events with higher suspicions will be further manually screened by the remaining people.If it is still uncertain, it will be reported to Lu Ming, and Lu Ming will complete the final confirmation.

After setting up this set of procedures, the follow-up work will start immediately.

Originally, Lu Ming thought that it might take some time before any news that met the standard was reported to him, but he didn't expect that the first message would be sent before it was evening.

"When a man passed the glass door of XX shopping mall, the glass door suddenly burst, causing multiple injuries to the man's body. He has been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The security department has sealed off the scene and started investigation."

To match this message, there is also a moving picture.So Lu Ming saw that a man didn't provoke anyone, and walked his own way. When he passed a glass door, the door suddenly burst, and the man was terrible.

"This news is not widely spread at present, but it has the potential to become a hot news."

A staff member explained to Lu Ming: "In daily life, it is very common to pass by a glass door, which means that every ordinary person may suffer from an accident such as a glass door bursting. This will lead to The public has strong empathy and a sense of substitution, and they will pay attention to it. When there are more people, a hot news will be formed."

Without professional testing, Lu Ming basically guessed several possible reasons for the glass door to burst.It is nothing more than poor glass quality, excessive pressure on the door frame causing uneven force, alternating heat and cold expansion and contraction, or accidental damage before.

There is a high probability that this kind of thing is also a pure accident.The glass manufacturing industry it involves also belongs to science and technology rather than literature and history.

In these respects, the message is unquestionably compliant.

Lu Ming pondered for a moment and made a decision.

Doubt for the time being, continue to observe and see if it can become a real hot event in the follow-up.

Whether an event can become a hot event depends on many factors.

The Internet world is also a place full of chaos, full of all kinds of randomness.Some people will accidentally become popular because of an accidental event, and some people have tried their best but failed to become popular. Various situations may occur.

This event only has the potential to become a hot event, but it has not really become a hot event.

Lu Ming did not inform Zhang Dingshan and others about this matter.Because he didn't think that the secret organization would make predictions about this incident.

This matter, after all, is too "small".Judging from the consistent style of that secret organization, it doesn't seem like it would pay attention to such trivial matters.

Shortly thereafter, another message made it through the filter.

The wall of a certain building fell off, and a piece of the wall happened to hit a baby stroller downstairs, causing serious injuries to a baby who is currently being rescued in the hospital.

This incident has a greater potential to become a hot topic.Various indicators also indicate that in about a few hours, the various data of this incident will reach its peak.

This is also understandable.After all, a cute baby is the existence that can touch people's inner softness the most.And the falling off of the wall can often be associated with things like bean curd projects, which can also arouse people's anger.Combining the two, it is not surprising that this matter has become a hot topic.

But again, this incident is still a bit too "small".

Lu Ming finally decided to continue to pay attention, but did not report it.

Then came the third event.

A fire broke out in a machinery factory, and three people have been confirmed dead.A large number of firefighters are on the scene to rescue and rescue the disaster.On the Internet, many people are paying attention to this matter.

Lu Ming pondered for a moment, and finally decided to rule out this matter.

This incident is not small, and there is a certain possibility of random accidents.But strictly speaking, a fire is most likely caused by operational errors, aging equipment, and the like.In other words, it is closely related to people.

Being closely related to people means that it hardly exists, or it is difficult to completely exclude the human factor.

When humans are involved, the effectiveness of the prophecy will be greatly reduced.

After the third time, it was the fourth time...

The intensive information submission did not stop until late at night.

For several hours in a row, Lu Ming has been checking the information, making a decision to rule out the suspicion or continue to follow the suspicion, and then there will be a second message, sometimes it is slow to read, and there will even be a backlog of information.

This keeps Lu Ming's head running at high speed all the time.

After finally finding a gap, Lu Ming raised his head in a daze, and looked at the night sky outside the window.

"Is the end of the world coming?"

At this moment, he had such a strong question in his heart.

Why are there so many things in this world?Either there was a disaster here, or there was a fire there, or someone died here, or there was a car accident there, why didn't it stop?
If it wasn't for the end of the world, how could it be so chaotic?
As for this, it was finally reported to me after layers of review.There are even more things that have been screened out before.

But at the moment the night sky is still quiet.The neon lights outside the window are peaceful.

Lu Ming smiled wryly and shook his head.

Xiao Li walked over, and the bags under his eyes seemed to be more obvious: "Chief Lu, let's rest first, there are endless things to see, and there will always be new things."

"it is good."

Lu Ming sighed.

Although it is late at night, the other hemisphere is in daylight.The frequency of various things still will not decrease.

Lu Ming had to go to rest.After waking up, it was another busy day.Repeat this until three days later.

　I will take a day off tomorrow, and continue to update normally the day after tomorrow.

It is really difficult to write this kind of article, there are too many things to think about, I got stuck in the article recently, I have to set aside a day to think about it...

In addition, please continue to support me, the results are too bleak, tears in my eyes
