The computer room of the headquarters of the company.

After the battle with the Star Company began, Holt, who was far away in Shengzhou, the capital of the United States, had been connected to the headquarters computer room, which was equivalent to supervising the battle on the spot.

"Capote, the battle has been going on for 5 minutes. What's going on now?" asked Hult, looking at the many people in the computer room of the headquarters on the wall screen nervously typing on the keyboard.

"Holt, the current situation is expected. Last night, it took almost four hours for 12 supercomputers to break through the 37-layer encapsulation 'shell' of the opponent's port program. We have now coordinated the computing power equivalent to 56 supercomputers to attack, and we have broken through the opponent's 20-layer packaging 'shell' in 5 minutes. According to estimates, we can play for about 5 minutes and we will be able to ...... Ah, what's that?" Capote was reporting when he suddenly exclaimed.

"Capote, what's wrong, what's going on?" asked Hult, who was not at the scene, with a violent shock in his heart.

On the screen, Capote rapidly taps on the keyboard in front of him. Soon, he stopped moving, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Shit, shit, shit, the Star Group actually lied to us! They ...... Are they crazy? If they are not crazy, then we must be crazy. Capote muttered to himself with a look in his eyes.

"Capote, what's going on, report it now!" Hult didn't know what was going on in the computer room, and yelled at Capote on the screen.

Capote stared blankly at the screen in front of him. At that moment just now, the cracking progress bar went from 50% to 10% in the blink of an eye!

Hort's shouts pulled Capote out of his confusion.

"Holt, I have to tell you a sad truth. We have all been deceived by the Star Group. Just now, when the reading of the cracking progress bar reached 50%, the number of packaging shell layers detected by the supercomputer suddenly changed from 40 layers to 200 layers. So the 20 layers we have broken through are shown as 10%. The encapsulation shell of the port program on the Star website is not 40 layers, but 200 layers! I was worried that it was a false alarm for overcalculation, so I went in the background to check. After looking at it, I found that there was nothing wrong with the supercomputer itself. Capote said to Hot with a wry smile.

"What? Two hundred encapsulated shells, are you sure?" Hult was taken aback, barely believing his ears.

"I'm pretty sure. 'Athena Type 6' has no false positives. Capote insisted.

Hult had to believe it.

"Is the Star Group crazy?" said Hult, who also sighed blankly.

"No, if they're not crazy, then we must be crazy. Capote smiled wryly.

"But how is this possible?"

"Yes, how is that possible? Originally, it was unbelievable that they put a 40-layer encapsulation shell on the port program, but I didn't expect them to be able to add 160 layers in an instant! In this case, how big and bloated is their website database? Can their users still use it smoothly? Even if they could, they would have to pay an indescribably huge amount of computing power for it. Is it worth it? If you really want to invest in the commercial field, who will pay for it?" Capote's mind was full of question marks.

All commercial companies engaged in database business are striving for 'lightness, simplicity, stability and speed' when developing and building databases. In this case, the encapsulation shells that commercial companies put on each module of their database generally range from three or five layers to ten or twenty layers.

Generally speaking, the encapsulation is to protect the technical secrets of the program of the database developed by commercial companies, but the encapsulation itself will also occupy system resources and system computing power. This occupancy is not multiple, but exponential. The more layers there are, the more bulky the database will be, and the less marketable it will be.

Worm Bone had previously detected that the Star website had encapsulated 40 layers of protective shells for the less important module of the registration port, and had already felt that the Star Group was mad. I didn't expect to come directly to a 200 floor now!

It's pretty puzzling. After all, with the advancement of electronic technology, the preparation of program encapsulation shells is no longer as random as in previous years. In previous years, the surface of a program module could also cover many, many layers of packaging shells, because the packaging technology at that time was very bad, and the packaging shells themselves could not occupy much system resources. But now to wrap a layer of encapsulation to the core program is almost equivalent to writing a new program. This is undoubtedly a huge amount of work. Moreover, each additional layer of encapsulation shell will have some more adverse effects on the performance of the database.

Now the encapsulator shell of the registration port of the Star website has suddenly become 200 layers, which makes Capote and Hort unable to figure out what the Star Group thinks anyway. Don't they want the website to work? But even if they don't, it doesn't make sense. Where does the computing power come from to support the smooth operation of the 200-layer package?

"Capote, how is the inner workings of the Starry Sky website now?" Hult asked suddenly.

"Everything worked fine and flowed smoothly. Capote said, looking at a terminal screen next to him.

On that terminal, the account registered with Capote has been inside the Star website. Although that account can't do anything, it can always feedback the internal operation status of the Star website.

"Damn, what the hell is this. Hult couldn't help but get irritated.

"Holt, if you want me to say it, this phenomenon is not unexplainable. That answer is incredible, though. Capote said with a deep groan.

"Tell me, how do you explain it?" said Hult with a slightly expectant look.

"Holt, theoretically speaking, even if the surface of the program module is covered with thousands of layers, tens of thousands of layers of packaging shells, if the computing power is strong enough, can the program play its due role?" Capote said.

"That's the truth. However, to drive tens of thousands of layers of packaging shells, the computing power required is ...... That requires an infinite level of computing power. Hult said flatly.

"Holt, I'm talking 'theoretically'. Just because we can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it. What if the Star Group really has 'infinite computing power' through unknown means?" said Capote.

Hoult fell silent for a moment.

Indeed, even if this possibility is extremely small, and infinity is close to zero, there are no absolutes in the world, and nothing can be said to be too dead.

Capote didn't know that the speculation he had inadvertently uttered, although it sounded unreliable to ordinary people, was really the only truth.

Although Xiaoqian's computing power is not really infinite, for the earth's electronic world, the word 'infinity' is still affordable.

Chen Yue is unwilling to let organizations or individuals outside of China see the real core program structure of the Xuanwu database at this stage, so he plans to play a game of 'infinite shell breaking' with the Earth programming community in this event. The initial number of encapsulation layers of the port program is 40 layers, and when an external terminal breaks through 20 layers, Xiaoqian will immediately increase the number of layers by five times, so that the opponent's 50% cracking progress will immediately become 10%. At the same time, the internal program of the newly added package will be more sophisticated and more complete in compilation. The further back the encapsulation goes, the more difficult it is to crack.

If the difficulty of cracking is not increased, and the cracking process is just blindly superimposed on the encapsulated shell to delay the cracking process of external forces, Chen Yue is worried that the earthlings will be so scared that they can't take care of themselves. Because with the current level of electronic computing power on the earth, Chen Yue may need to adjust the number of layers of the packaging shell to tens of thousands of layers for the worm bone inscription with the strongest computing power! This makes the current earth programming community unimaginable.

In fact, when the Worm Bone Company saw that the Star Website was still operating freely under the cover of a 200-layer encapsulated shell, it had almost scared the two top leaders into a nervous disorder and began to doubt their lives.

"Capote, regardless of whether the Star Group has infinite computing power or not, we can't give up. I believe that no matter how powerful the Star Group is, there should be an end. They definitely don't have the ability to stack encapsulated shells indefinitely. Even if there were, we don't see it now. I don't believe that after cracking the 200 layers and 100 layers first, it will raise the package to 1000 layers. Again, strive to dismantle the Star website within 3 hours. Remember: the rate at which our stocks are falling has started to increase. Hult gritted his teeth.

Hult didn't want to keep thinking about it and scared himself. After all, the road still needs to be walked out step by step.

Until now, Hult was still dreaming of winning the Starry Sky website in three hours. In his opinion, since 56 supercomputers can crack 20 layers of packaging shells in 5 minutes, that is, 4 layers can be cracked in one minute. There are still 180 floors left, and it only takes 45 minutes to completely crack it. As long as the port is taken down, the Worm Bone Company can rush into the interior of the Star website along with other attackers in the world. At that time, the torrent of data formed by the world's terminals will quickly overwhelm the Star website.

Hult is not willing to think about whether the 200-layer encapsulation will become a 1000-layer encapsulation for the time being.

"Okay Hot. Capote nodded solemnly.

......

Huaguo Special Affairs Bureau.

The departments in charge of electronic information in the Special Affairs Bureau are not only the Eighth Division and the Seventh Section led by Han Zhuang, but there are also 5 other departments, which belong to other departments.

Director Shen gathered all the staff members in charge of information work in the switchboard room, and he and other leaders who had a meeting together in the morning all arrived to give on-the-spot command.

For tonight's battle, Director Shen transferred 5 of the 7 supercomputers of the Special Affairs Bureau, and temporarily borrowed 11 supercomputing power from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other large scientific research institutions in China.

In other words, for tonight's challenge, the Huaguo Special Affairs Bureau coordinated a total of 16 supercomputing power units. This computing power is not only to continue to study the core programs of the Star website, but also to help the Star Group when necessary.

When the time for the attack came, the information staff of the Secret Service Bureau unhurriedly activated the scanning probe and began to scan the registration port of the Starry Sky website.

"Report, there is an anomaly. As soon as the scanning probe finished its first scan, Min Qiufeng, who was under Han Zhuang, began to report.

"What is the anomaly?" said Director Shen's heart jumped and he hurriedly asked.

"Report chief, we directly scanned the core program of the registration port last night, but this time we scanned the encapsulated 'shell' outside the core program. The number of shell layers is unknown, and scanning is continuing. Min Qiufeng said quickly.

After explaining the situation clearly in as concise language as possible, Min Qiufeng continued to bury his head in work. He only reports the situation, and how to deal with it is a matter for the superiors.
