32 days

At present, the first location that urgently needs to be cleared in the 32nd is the Hongshan Military Port 600 kilometers east of Nanlin City. This is one of the four major naval bases along the coast of Huaguo. There are many fleets and submarine formations, and there is also an aircraft carrier resting and preparing in the port area.Because of the special nature of coastal defense, military ports are not as closed as land military bases, so there is a slight lack of security when unattended.

Yi Alan and Zhou Yan'an are going to this military port, get familiar with the situation in advance, and ensure that they can complete the clearing task skillfully and quickly within 32 days.

Instead of taking the conventional route, they flew directly to Nanlin City, then turned and flew directly to Hongshan Military Port.The purpose of walking this way is to let Zhou Yanan get acquainted with some special places along the road. On the 32nd, if his fighter jet is short of fuel or parts are damaged, he can land nearby to find supplies, or directly change to a fighter jet.

"All the fighter jets on the 32nd are yours," Luo Caiyun said to Zhou Yan'an at an altitude of [-] meters in the country, "as long as you can fly them."

Zhou Yanan looked away from the plane window, but the extremely blue sky without impurities seemed to be still in his pupils, and the tear film reflected a clear ocean.

Luo Caiyun's teasing smile turned into a sigh, and she patted Zhou Yan'an on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."

After landing at Hongshan Military Port Airport, Yi Alan was taken away alone.

Yi Alan is used to being surrounded and scrutinized by heavy gazes, but here, this kind of scrutiny has almost reached its peak, and several people looked at him with strong suspicion.

Yi Alan went around and was taken to a closed place with many large screens. A man in his fifties was sitting in front of a row of computers waiting.

The person who led Yi Alan introduced: "This is General Lin, the information security supervisor of our military port." After paying a military salute to General Lin, he turned around and walked away. General Lin and Yi Alan were left.

General Lin looked at Yi Alan sharply. His facial muscles were tense all the year round, and he was not angry.

After a while, General Lin slowly said: "As I am cautious, I don't feel at ease to hand over the information security loopholes of the military port to you. Although your background investigation proves that you have not done anything harmful or treacherous in the past 20 years. , You can even be said to be a kind, caring and responsible child, but it may just be that you have not been tempted enough. You may not be able to imagine what conditions some people will give you in order to make you change."

Yi Alan stood there not knowing what to say.

His bewildered look made General Lin's expression lighten up a bit: "But Vice Minister Luo—she should be called Director Luo now, she said that the security of the military port is urgent. If the 32nd is true, it is indeed urgent. Come on. , sit down, boy, tell me what happened on the 32nd?"

Yi Alan found a chair not far from General Lin and sat down, but her expression was troubled: "Director Luo ordered not to tell anyone other than them anything about the 32nd, even if it may be just a little bit irrelevant. s things."

General Lin chuckled: "Do you think you will make me trust you more by being so obedient and loyal?"

Yi Alan was a little embarrassed.

General Lin ignored him, turned his chair to face the computer, and seemed to be watching some simulation demonstration, which made the atmosphere awkward to the end.

After a long while, the dialog box constantly jumping on the screen in front of General Lin stopped. After the demonstration ended, he asked abruptly, "Are you studying artificial intelligence?"

"Research can't be called." Yi Alan hurriedly said, "In the industry, they can only be regarded as low-level workers, and they can do whatever the boss tells them to do."

“You know, the society is very concerned about artificial intelligence. Some people hope that artificial intelligence can completely liberate human beings, and some people express concerns about the development of artificial intelligence from an ethical point of view. Negative topics such as robots replacing people, hurting people, suspected discrimination, and stereotypes have always been It's hot, what do you think about that?"

Yi Alan said: "I studied motion and control, which is a very basic and mature module. The controversial ethics of robots and artificial intelligence are actually far away from my actual work."

"But you are in this industry, have you thought about it to some extent?" General Lin turned his head.

Yi Alan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "I don't think it's worth mentioning."

General Lin's face was a little playful: "Why?"

"Because all problems are human problems." Yi Alan said, "Not to mention that many of those topics are hyped up by people for the sake of popularity, concepts, and interests, and the thinking of artificial intelligence is completely determined by humans. Yes. When artificial intelligence is deep learning, it cannot learn out of thin air, it is provided by a large number of databases, people tell it what is a woman, what is a man, what is beautiful, what is ugly, instilling human experience into its experience …When automatic driving is faced with an extreme environment where a dog suddenly runs in front of the car, and has no choice but to either run over it or turn and hit the guardrail to damage the vehicle, the automatic driving company, unwilling to bear the loss of the car owner, chooses to crush the vehicle Maintenance of cheaper life, more benevolent choice of material expenditure for a life survival, the choices that artificial intelligence can make are all determined by human beings. No matter what we are talking about, we are ultimately talking about people themselves. Artificial intelligence is just a tool, it Not worse than humans, but potentially better than humans."

"The human problem." General Lin chuckled and asked, "You seem to dislike human beings?"

Yi Alan's heart skipped a beat. He remembered the "anti-humanity and anti-society" that Deputy Director Lu Liangjun often talked about. He took a magnifying glass everywhere to look for evidence that the 32nd day was actually fabricated by their group of anti-human elements. I'm afraid this General Lin also thinks that he is anti-human, let alone worry about him.

But after thinking about it, what does this have to do with Yi Alan.He almost forgot that he didn't beg to come here, but was brought here by Luo Caiyun and the others to complete a task that he shouldn't have undertaken.Thinking about it this way, the positions of the subject and the guest are reversed.This group of people, treat him like a thief.

"I don't like it!" Yi Alan almost showed a little coquettish temper.

General Lin smiled and said, "I don't like it either. There are always disputes where there are people, and walls are constantly being built for defense. Even if it's just the two of us at this moment, we are so close, and there are still high walls between each other."

As he said, he stretched out his hand and knocked in the void in front of him: "Now I have opened a door, come in."

Yi Alan was startled, then stood up and made a gesture of pushing the door open.

"This is the security system of the military port." General Lin asked Yi Alan to sit next to him and watch the big computer screen.

A look at the past, dazzled.

"To be precise, it is the May military port security system simulated on a supercomputer." General Lin sighed.

After attention was paid to it on the 32nd, an order was issued from above to modify and reset any secret system that might be leaked.But everyone knows that such a large-scale system that has been cultivated for many years cannot be changed in a short period of time. Its core principles and framework are still the same as before.Just like a heavily guarded palace, only a new lock has been replaced. The height of its walls, the thickness of its gates, and whether there are underground tunnels have not changed. The weakness of the new version can still be seen from the old version.

General Lin glanced at Yi Alan: "If the 32nd is true, then at this time, I dare not believe anyone. But when I have to put the security of the country on someone, I am willing to believe you."

Yi Alan could only say, "Thank you."

"Okay, now let's go and see how to crack it." General Lin said, "First of all, the network of the military port is physically isolated from the outside world. You have to enter the military port area to try to log in. Of course, this is the most difficult step. It was easy on the 32nd, walk to the door, lift your foot, and step in." When he was humorous, his face was a little sad, and the shield he was proud of was broken by a broken spear.

"After you come in, take a random computer in the office in Building 1. The computer there is equipped with internal software, and many operations will not be rejected by the system. Then...you look at the screen and remember my order. What do you understand? You may ask, but I may not answer."

Yi Alan nodded.

General Lin led Yi Alan through a labyrinth of routes, passing through palaces, and he told Yi Alan where the walls were relatively fragile, and a hole could be violently smashed in and out, and where a hidden door was left because of functional needs. Small door... These gateway and port weaknesses that should have required constant searching, investigation, testing, and violent collisions have been clearly pointed out. No wonder General Lin is very resistant.

The results of various operations will also be simulated on the big screen on the other side. Yi Alan saw that the defense net of the military port looked like a strict and orderly swarm of bees, and he was obsessed with the torch, and the swarms of bees retreated wherever he went.

But for Yi Alan, it was almost a rote memorization.And because the language he used was Dre, which he hadn't been in contact with for a long time, he didn't know why, let alone why.

This is also a way for them to avoid risks. While not affecting the destruction task, it minimizes Yi Alan's access to the core mechanism.

Yi Alan stayed in the military port for five days before leaving, and went to the next direction, an army base route twenty degrees northwest, including two medium-sized army bases and three small army bases.

At the military port airport, General Lin politely came to see him off.

Standing beside him, Luo Caiyun saw Yi Alan being dragged onto the plane by Zhou Yan'an, and asked General Lin with a smile, "Is there any problem?"

General Lin said: "I have guided everything that should be guided. Not surprisingly, the Hongshan military port will be in ruins on the 32nd."

"That's good."

General Lin squinted his eyes and looked up at the blue sky of the military port, as if imagining that the invisible shield protecting this place was smashed, and then the shells of the fighter jets fell.

Luo Caiyun said, "I'm leaving."

General Lin nodded, still looking up.But when Luo Caiyun walked towards the plane, she said again: "I hope that what I hear in the future will always be good. I don't want to hear the news of who was instigating rebellion and who was arrested for betrayal."

"Are you referring to Yi Alan?" Luo Caiyun said, "I don't think so, he is a smart man."

"He is very smart and very talented in system programming. But until he finds a solution to completely solve the 32nd day, his ability can only stay at the current level forever." General Lin said regretfully.If Yi Alan knew more, it would be difficult for them to control him.

Luo Caiyun turned her head and smiled, "Maybe he doesn't want it at all."

After staying at the army base for six days, he continued to the northwest at [-] degrees, flew over the Qingyun Mountains, and arrived at the remote Air Force Weapons and Equipment Research and Development Center.

This is not a combat command center, so the purely physical defense is not strong. In terms of confidentiality, it relies more on human guards and auxiliary technology to carry out early warning and supervision. It is also in a very dangerous situation during the 32 days. Even ordinary people, if If you want to break in, you can find a way to break in.And every new weapon research and development project with different progress in the research center may become the key to future air combat, and its importance is self-evident.

Yi Alan's task here is relatively easy, as long as the information stored in the computer and the computer room can be destroyed at that time.

On the last day of September, Yi Alan and Zhou Yanan returned to the office in Beishan City again, waiting for the arrival of September 31st and 32nd.
