Chapter 221: It Must Be Him
At the White House, in a small conference room, President Trump is discussing with his staff the aftermath of Operation Ghost.
A figure hurriedly rushed into the conference room and anxiously reported to the president: "Mr. President, something has happened, the ransomware virus has broken out on a large scale, the computers of many institutions have been infected, and documents and materials have been encrypted, including the servers of the White House. ”
"Lisa, what's the use of looking for me for this kind of thing? Go to a computer expert to solve it, don't you see that I'm busy?" The meeting was interrupted, and President Trunz, who was in a bad mood, blackened his face and angrily scolded the female secretary Lisa.
"Mr. President, computer experts can't solve this problem. Lisa, the female secretary, looked at President Tran with a sad look on her face and said timidly.
"To date, the virus infection has paralyzed the servers of more than 10,000 agencies, and encrypted a large number of important data files, including the most important investigation bureaus, intelligence services, security services, defense departments, and state departments,......。 Mr. President, the situation is very critical right now. Lisa, the female secretary, reported anxiously.
Hearing this, President Tran looked at the female secretary Lisa with a confused expression: "What! You're not kidding. ”
"I hope it's just a joke, sir, but that's the case. Lisa, the female secretary, said with a sad face.
"Professor Hall can't solve it? Let the Microsoft CTO solve it. President Tran's face changed and he spoke.
"It's all invited, they haven't found a solution yet, and the situation is very serious. Lisa, the female secretary, said anxiously.
"Quick, take me there. President Trump's cheeks shook and he stood up.
Soon, Lisa, the female secretary, hurried to a computer room with President Tran.
As soon as I walked into the computer room, the sound of 'banging, banging' on the keyboard came in a row, the decoration of the computing room was streamlined, and there were several rows of computer desks and more than 20 computers in the hall of nearly 100 square meters,...... , they were staring at the screen, their brows furrowed, and their foreheads were busy with beads of sweat.
"Who can tell what's going on?" asked President Tran in a loud voice as he stepped into the room.
The 'Ghost Ops' attempt failed, not to mention the problem, but caused a lot of, and it is uncertain what bad effects will be in the future, President Tran is already anxious, and now this kind of thing is happening again, and today is really terrible.
"Mr. President, this is a new type of virus, and we still can't find a way to crack it. An old professor stopped his work and replied with a helpless face.
"When will it be solved, when will this problem be solved!" asked President Tran, looking at the crowd with a gloomy face.
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, but no one answered, and the scene was silent for a while.
"What's going on? Why didn't anyone say anything? Roberts, you say, what's going on!" President Tran looked at the silent crowd, and with a bad premonition, he directly asked Roberts of the Technical Division by name.
"Mr. President, we tried all kinds of ways but we couldn't decipher the kernel system of this virus, which is not an ordinary virus, using an algorithm and data structure that we don't know about, and locking all encrypted files. Roberts stood up and introduced with an ugly look on his face.
"Yes, Mr. President, the data structure of this virus is so tightly knit that it seems to have intelligence, and no programmatic means of deciphering it can be embedded. ”
"yes! This virus is so unfamiliar that we can't find a vulnerability to it. ”
"What's even more bizarre is the mode of its spread, many of our official agencies have been tricked, but now it has stopped spreading, otherwise computers all over the world will suffer. ”
“……。 ”
As soon as Roberts's voice fell, engineers, virus experts, and computer professors all followed his words and continued to explain its characteristics, and for a while, the scene was chaotic.
"And then, then, you can't solve it, can you? Even if you are given three days?" said President Tran, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, as he looked at the crowd angrily.
Hearing this, the heated discussion came to an abrupt end, and everyone looked at President Trung with a look of shame on their faces.
"Why didn't you speak again, didn't you just say it quite fiercely?" President Tran's gaze swept around everyone's faces, and he said hatefully.
"Mr. President, this is a new system of source code virus, using a new language to write the source program, insert it before the source program is compiled and compile it with the source program, the work to decipher is very difficult, I am afraid that even three months may not be able to crack it successfully. Roberts said with frustration.
"What then, what if this virus crisis can't be resolved?" asked President Tran, who was at a loss as he looked at the crowd.
"If we don't survive this virus crisis, our losses will be very heavy, probably a billion documents will be lost, involving military, security, medical, financial, diplomatic...... , etc., more than one million copies of important documents, the direct loss of funds is about 100 billion or more, the longer the time continues, the more serious the loss will be, and if it cannot be solved after three months, it is expected to cause a loss of more than one trillion dollars. An old professor stood up and replied with a heavy expression.
Hearing this, President Tran was stunned.
"Is there a way to find the creator of this virus? He must be found out as soon as possible, at any cost. "The cost of this crisis if it cannot be resolved is too heavy, and President Tran panicked and looked at everyone for help.
The scene fell silent again, deathly silent, and everyone was either stunned with their heads down, or staring blankly at the screen, unresponsive to President Tran's pleas, how could they possibly know who created the virus, which they had never seen before.
"Mr. President, maybe I know who made it!" At this time, a voice suddenly sounded behind President Tran.
Everyone couldn't help but look up at it, and couldn't help but be stunned, how could it be General John, and he didn't understand computers, how could he know the maker of this virus.
"General, who created the virus,...... , could it be him!" President Tran looked at General John's grim face, and suddenly remembered something, and his face became very ugly in vain.
"Yes, he has extraordinary abilities in the field of artificial intelligence, and besides, he was attacked not long ago, and this virus should be his revenge. General John said with a look of remorse.
'Ghost Operation' was an operation that he single-handedly promoted, and now the operation has gone wrong, and the other party's revenge has come so sharply and so inexplicably, General John is full of remorse.
"That's right, it must be him!" said President Tran, with a fierce glint in his eyes. [.]
