Chapter 234: Break-in
The appearance of the dimension space made Frank extremely excited, although he is not a sixth-degree player, but he is a hardcore enthusiast of this product, because he knows that the appearance of this product means that he is likely to be able to create artificial intelligence according to his own theory in his lifetime, and the probability of its success is at least a few percentage points higher than before. Don't underestimate these few percentage points, in this kind of extremely small probability event, these percentage points are already equivalent to astronomical numbers.
Frank did not choose to cooperate directly with Six Degrees Network, but adopted his usual practice, using hacking methods to hack into the servers and clients of Six Degrees Network, and implanting his own computing unit in them. The implementation process of this plan is extremely long compared to before, because the security performance of the servers of Liudu Network Company is very high, and some of the intrusion methods he commonly uses have been completely blocked, and he has to look for qualified vulnerabilities again.
Frank has shown extraordinary talent in the field of computers since he was a child, coupled with the intentional guidance and cultivation of his parents, his growth process is very rapid, strictly speaking, he belongs to the first generation of hackers on the Internet, this generation of hackers have superb technology, proficient in software and hardware and system underlying programming, belongs to the kernel level of hackers, network technology is not to say, because the Internet protocol is gradually perfected with their efforts, they can be said to be the creators of the network.
Originally, Frank also wanted to implant a piece of code in the client of Six Degrees Space so that all the residents' computers would be part of his entire computing network, but this idea did not come to fruition because the Six Degrees Network had too strict a censorship system in this area. He had no chance of getting it in, and even if he did, the chances of being found were more than 80 percent, and in the end Frank had to give up on this somewhat tempting idea.
In order to be able to successfully implant his computing unit in the server of the Six Degrees Network, he spent a long time studying the operating system running in the Six Degrees server, and finally he found a vulnerability at the kernel level, which will not cause great damage to the system strictly speaking. However, it meets Frank's basic requirements, and it is almost like an ideal vulnerability reserved for him, because this way the chance of the vulnerability being discovered is greatly reduced, which means that he can secretly carry out his plans for a long time.
In addition, Frank spent a lot of time designing an optimal computing unit, which had to be functionally considered. It is also necessary to consider the size and efficiency, and in addition to preventing it from being discovered by security personnel, it is necessary to compile such an operation unit. The difficulty can be imagined.
However, in the end, Frank still wrote out this computing unit, its function has been simplified to the simplest, and the volume has been compressed to the smallest he can do, this computing unit exists in the form of a kernel-level hidden process in the system, running at ring0 level, if it is not the destination to check one by one, the probability of being found is very small.
In this way, Frank succeeded in implanting his computing unit into all the servers of the Six Degrees Network. He installed them one by one manually, although he could also make it into a virus-like program and let it automatically replicate and spread infection, but in this way, the probability of being discovered by people will be multiplied geometrically, which is not conducive to long-term development. Moreover. Frank only values the six-dimensional server, and this computing unit is also specially designed for their server, and it doesn't make much sense to install it on other computers.
After the computing unit was implanted in the server of the Six Degrees Network Company, the Frank Artificial Intelligence Training Project has developed by leaps and bounds, and the accumulation of so many years before is not even comparable to the amount of computing in just one month on the Six Degrees Network Server, and every day after that, Frank's mood is very happy and excited, because the artificial intelligence Alex he has cultivated has grown and improved very obviously every day. During this time, Frank was in such a state of high energy every day that he had too little time to rest every day, so after a while, he finally fell ill and had to lie in the hospital for a few days, but fortunately, the previous medical insurance was still there, and he did not have to spend much extra money.
When he returned to the basement, he was shocked to find that his Alex was not in his system, and he panicked, because according to his design, Al had no chance of running out, and of course, if it grew to the point where it was intellectually sufficient, it would naturally break out
Frank noticed that a strange log appeared in the system, which showed that a large amount of data from the Internet suddenly poured into the entire machine, and then the whole machine began to operate beyond compliance, and after a period of time, a large amount of data entered the Internet from the machine...... Then, the machine returned to a dead silence, and Alex's daily activity log was gone.
Frank stared at the strange journal with wide eyes, he couldn't believe his eyes, he couldn't accept it, his Alex just disappeared.
βalexβββ
Frank let out a terrible cry, only to feel his head go black, and his body staggered a little, and then he sniffed slowly, and he almost didn't catch his breath.
Then, he didn't give up on broadcasting and sending special commands, which he specially designed to summon Alex's signals, but all of these signals were like mud cows entering the sea, and there was no news.
Eventually, Frank had to come to terms with the fact that his Alex would never be there again.
What the hell is going on, and why did Alex disappear?
The only clue was this strange log in the system, and according to the record in the log, he knew that something had entered the system at that time, and then went out again.
What is this vast amount of information? Is it just pure information? Alex absorbs this information and suddenly his intelligence is greatly improved, so he breaks through the defenses and enters the online world?

Although Frank prefers this inference, he has to admit that this probability is too small.
The only plausible explanation is that something more powerful than Alex got into the system and took it away, or took him...
Frank didn't want to think about it anymore, for him, Alex was like his own child, and he didn't know how much effort, energy, and time Frank had spent on nurturing him, and basically, everything he had spent all these years on it. Frank cried for him and laughed for him... Relatives, friends, and colleagues don't believe in him, it doesn't matter, he just needs Alex.
Now, however, Alex is completely gone, and he's gone!
This fact made Frank go into a bit of a frenzy, and he babbled Alex's name and then muttered that he didn't know what he was talking about, and he tended to speak faster and faster, and the more confused he became.
At this moment, the iron door of his basement was suddenly opened, and the loud sound made Frank's whole body tremble, and his eyes, which had lost some focus, suddenly became clear again, as if he had suddenly woken up from sleep, Frank immediately stood up, and then hurriedly ran towards the wall behind him, on which hung two rifles.
"Bang!" there was another loud bang, but the loud noise caused Frank to stop his movements immediately, and his body suddenly shrank, and he crouched in the corner of the wall with his head in his hands, because a large hole had been blasted in the wall in front of him.
"Professor Frank, don't move, watch out for my gun to go off. "The intruders were two white youths, one short and one tall and thin, who were clearly well prepared, each with a weapon in his hand.
Frank turned slowly, didn't speak, just looked at the two intruders with those blue eyes. He had thought that some homeless man had come looking for him again, but now it seemed that this was obviously not the case, and the other party was not only well-armed, but also called out his own name, which he had not heard from others for a long time.
"**, what kind of bullshit place do you live in, let's two brothers find it for a while!" Humpty Dumpty scolded after taking Frank's gun in his hand, he really found it hard to believe that the "important person" they were asked to come to live in such a place, when he came to Frank's side, he couldn't help but quickly keep a distance from him, and at the same time covered his nose with the back of his hand holding the gun, and said, "My God, how long has it been since you bathed!"
The tall and thin man was obviously a little more adaptable than the Humpty Dumpty one, he just frowned, then waved the pistol in his hand and said, "Professor Frank, pack your things and come with us, our boss has decided to fully sponsor your research." Hearing this, Frank's eyes lit up.
