Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 181 Finding a Needle in a Haystack
Several people looked at the huge image of the earth in front of them, and saw that the earth was marked out, densely packed with a total of more than 7 areas, and they were silent.

After a while, He Wei said: "You can exclude densely populated places."

To build a huge underground base, the amount of work must not be small.If you want concealed construction, avoiding densely populated areas is a very reasonable choice.

Lu Ming thought about it, but still shook his head.

"Sometimes the dense population is just a good cover for massive construction."

If construction is carried out in a desolate place, various construction vehicles come in and out, and people come and go, which is more likely to attract the attention of the outside world.On the contrary, if construction is carried out in densely populated areas, these things will not attract attention.

He Wei thought about it, and finally agreed with Lu Ming's statement.

This exclusion cannot be carried out, and the remaining places with certain suspicions still maintain an area of ​​600 million square kilometers.

"Is shock detection feasible?"

Lu Qingliang made a suggestion.

Just like in the Shanshen case, our own side tested whether there was a large enough cavity underground on those islands to confirm the location of the "Holy Church" of the X organization.

Lu Ming thought for a while, then shook his head.

"At the beginning, the total area of ​​those islands was probably less than 1000 square kilometers, which is 6000 times different from the area we need to inspect at the moment. The original project volume was completed in one day by 1000 inspectors. Based on this calculation, the current project Even if there are [-] inspectors, it will take almost two years to complete.”

This project is too big.

Although the second action team has extremely high authority, they can't consume resources so recklessly.What's more, in this detection operation, our own side has no confidence at all, unlike when we searched for the "Holy Church" back then, we were sure and confident.

Zhang Dingshan also shook his head.

"The vibration detection accuracy is not high. Once the underground cavity is too far from the surface, it cannot be detected. It is also too susceptible to interference. In the city, there are too many vibration sources."

This plan was rejected.

"That……"

Several people are silent.

Lu Ming found that the incident had developed to the present, and his side seemed to be in a dead end, and could no longer advance the investigation.

One thing is certain, in the era when the Son of God predicted the future, sensed that the end was coming, and then started the construction of the Ark base, there must be a lot of clues exposed.

That era, calculated from the information available at this moment, should have existed between 30 and 40 years ago.

There are a lot of clues in this time period.

After all, the construction of a huge underground base involves too many resources and manpower, and it is impossible to hide it perfectly.

Just like the case of the Mountain God back then, the sanctuary of the X organization, our side conducted in-depth investigations and found many clues to the mobilization of manpower and material resources.

However, the current case is not the same as the Shanshen case.

In the Shanshen case, our own side reflected the reality through history, and first had a clear target of suspicion, and then found those clues during a detailed investigation of the target of suspicion.

But now, our side doesn't even have a clear target of suspicion.

In the 30 years from 40 years ago to 10 years ago, there were so many people on the earth, so many projects were being constructed at the same time, there was a huge flow of materials and people, and the total amount of information was so huge, how could it be possible to Hidden among those clues screened out?
It's almost impossible to do.Finding a needle in a haystack is not enough to describe its difficulty.

Not to mention, after such a long time, a lot of information has been lost and can no longer be recovered.

Several people have thought of this path, but they all think that it will not work at all.

Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment, then raised his head.

His vision is full of determination.

"Look for a needle in a haystack. There is no other way to go now, but this way.

With keywords such as architecture, building materials, construction, region, earthquake resistance, underground, etc., all relevant information in the 30 years from 40 to 10 years ago was screened out and checked one by one. "

Among these keywords, architecture, building materials, and construction are information types.

The area is limited to the 600 million square kilometers currently under suspicion.

The two keywords of earthquake resistance and underground are architectural features.Because it is almost certain that the Ark Base must have these two characteristics.

The time frame is the decade from 30 years ago to 40 years ago.

There is no doubt that this approach is stupid.But at this moment, this is the only way that the members of the second action team can think of, and the only way that has certain feasibility.

Lu Qingliang sighed silently: "I transferred all the people from our logistics support and intelligence support teams. Well, we can also introduce social forces. I know several companies that do consulting and information analysis, and they should be able to Mobilize the manpower of almost a few thousand people."

To mobilize these social forces, there is no need to worry about anything except money, and it will not interfere with the normal operation of any department, which is convenient and easy to use.However, the worst thing about the second team in action is money.

In this way, the number of people participating in information analysis and retrieval will rise to nearly ten thousand.

Among them, artificial intelligence will be responsible for the first inspection of this massive amount of information, and distribute the information that passes the inspection to those consulting and information analysis companies, allowing them to complete the second inspection.

After that, the information will be sent to the operations department's logistics support and intelligence support team, who complete the third detection.

The four members of the second action team are responsible for the final fourth test.

There are four sieves in total.

"Okay. Tell them to act fast. We don't have much time to wait."

After finalizing the next action plan, Lu Qingliang immediately took action.

Whenever this time, Lu Ming would always sigh at Lu Qingliang's ability and importance.

Although during the investigation of the case, Lu Qingliang often could not provide any important and valuable reference opinions, which seemed to be of no help to advance the investigation of the case, but Lu Ming could deeply understand that without Lu Qingliang, his own side would be nothing. No matter how good the investigation plan is, it cannot be advanced at all.

Just like at this moment, contacting a social company, coordinating an information analysis and retrieval team of nearly [-] people, formulating work procedures, formulating work standards and division of labor, this whole set of extremely troublesome and complicated work, what I, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei need to do Yes, but only a request.

Use your words, don't worry about anything else, Lu Qingliang will take care of everything.

This time, Lu Qingliang also did not disappoint them.

In just two days, everything was done, and the personnel were dispatched to their respective positions.In terms of information sources, Lu Qingliang has also finalized the information access authority with various government departments, various Internet information centers, and archive centers.

In terms of supercomputing and artificial intelligence, Lu Qingliang also finalized the cooperation with a commercial supercomputing company.

The supercomputing program responsible for the first information screening will run on this supercomputer and distribute the information after the preliminary screening.

This entire set of huge and rigorous work system immediately entered a tense working state after a huge amount of information poured in like a tsunami.

There is no doubt that the information that can finally pass the four screening procedures and finally be presented to the four members of the second action team is suspicious to a certain extent.

Lu Ming originally thought that there might not be too much information that could finally be submitted to him, but as soon as this system started to operate, he realized that he was wrong.

Even if there are four full programs, the information and data submitted to him is still massive.

In the area numbered 6913, 36 years ago, a large amount of thermal insulation materials were imported, but big data statistics found that there was a certain gap between the consumption of thermal insulation materials and the input during this period.

In the area numbered 22360, 35 years ago, the landscape of a certain area changed to some extent.However, geological data show that during this time period, there were no natural disasters such as flash floods, mudslides, and earthquakes in the area.

In the area numbered 55142, 39 years ago, a large number of construction workers once gathered in a certain area, but there was no large-scale construction in this area.

Area number 1156...

All of this information is obviously suspicious.But all of them cannot be confirmed or ruled out by just looking at the data, and further field investigations are necessary to draw conclusions.But the problem now is that there is too much information of this type.

Calculated based on the current bandwidth, it will take about 10 days for the information from the archives centers and data centers of various government departments to pass through the department's preliminary screening and then sent to the first artificial intelligence screening checkpoint.

However, on this first day, there were more than a thousand clues that were submitted to the four members of the second operation team and required on-the-spot investigation.

And, these all happened more than 30 years ago.It is very difficult to investigate.It's not something that can be found out by just visiting and asking around.

At least an investigation team is needed. It takes a few days to investigate and visit, and it may not be possible to find out the truth.

After all, it was because the screening criteria set by our side were too loose, which caused so many clues to pass the screening.

but……

This is impossible.

Our own side has too little information about the doomsday organization, and it is impossible to formulate a sufficiently strict and perfect screening standard and system.

Several people realized at the same time that this was not going to work.

Even if everyone on our side can create a thousand avatars, it is still not enough to face such a massive demand for clue investigations.

In the conference room, the four of them gathered together again.At this moment, there are at least hundreds of clues waiting to be investigated behind everyone.

There are more clues to be investigated, and the few people are not in a hurry.Anyway, even if you are anxious, it is useless.

"How to do?"

Lu Qingliang asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.

Zhang Dingshan looked dignified and remained silent.He Wei looked at Lu Ming.

"Lu Ming, it's time for you to go out."

"What can I do."

Lu Ming smiled wryly: "Aside from mobilizing tens of thousands of security officers to verify and investigate one by one, what else can we do?"

That's really the only way.But several people knew in their hearts that this was not feasible.

If there is a sufficiently major incident, sufficient reasonable and necessary reasons, it is not impossible to mobilize tens of thousands of security officers to participate in the investigation of a case.

But the key problem is that at this moment, our own side does not have enough reasons, nor can we see the necessity of doing so.The superiors will certainly reject this proposal.

The end of the world is important, but right now, it is just a prophecy, a prophecy without any empirical support.

And the direction of our own investigation is just to find a needle in a haystack, with little hope.

Coupled with this plan, the impact on the real world is too huge, and the impact is too huge.

Tens of thousands of security officers have been transferred away, who will manage the security in the real world?Is the criminal caught yet?Are you still patrolling?

Combining several factors, no sane enough policymaker would agree to do so.

Every existence is valuable.People usually say that life is priceless, but if you risk 10% of death in exchange for [-] Human Coins, will people do it?

Of course, most people wouldn't do it if it was only 10 yuan.So, what about 1 yuan?What about one hundred thousand?
One percent risk of death in exchange for 10 yuan.I believe there will be many people willing to do it.

Based on this calculation, the value of this life is 1000 million.

Human civilization is of course also priceless.But if we spend 100 billion in wealth to eliminate the one-in-[-] risk of the extinction of human civilization, will a sensible enough decision-maker do it?

He probably won't do it either.

Based on this calculation, the value of human civilization is less than one billion billion.

What's more, there are so many real risks that can lead to the destruction of human civilization, such as nuclear explosions, giant volcanic eruptions, climate change, etc., which of these risk factors has a probability no higher than one in ten million?I have not seen how much human civilization attaches importance to this.

Is the probability of doomsday prophecy leading to the destruction of human civilization higher than risks such as volcanoes and climate change?
I'm afraid not.

They don't pay much attention to risks such as volcanoes and climate change. How could they pay such a heavy price for an illusory prophecy?

This is also impossible.

Several people in the conference room fell silent again.

After a long time, Lu Ming rubbed his forehead and said, "Since there is no way, then I have a way that doesn't count."

"Oh?"

"Let's do it based on statistical principles. For example, if there are 1 people suffering from a certain disease in the world, then based on the total population of 100 billion, if 100 million people are randomly selected, there is a high probability that there will be One person suffered from the disease.

We assume that there are a total of 1 clues presented to us after passing the screening, and among them, assuming that 100 clues are indeed related to the Ark base, then we randomly select 100 clues to verify and investigate, and the largest of them is Probability has a clue about the base of the Ark. "

Lu Qingliang and He Wei looked at each other in blank dismay.After a long time, Lu Qingliang couldn't help but said, "Isn't this just luck?"

Lu Ming nodded seriously.

"Essentially, it's just luck. But... now, what else can we do besides luck?"

Several people thought for a long time, and finally had to admit that what Lu Ming said was right.
