Chapter 724: Blue Slayer
The file transfer was fast, and almost as soon as the words "Wait" appeared, the dialog box changed.
The file transfer is complete, and the storage path is /home/......
"Oh, I'm sorry, Calaf, you go first, tell Frank that I have something very important to do now, very, very important." Smith sensed his gaffe, apologized to Researcher Calaf, reaffirmed the importance of what he was doing, and sent Calaf away.
After Calaf left, Smith focused his attention on the computer screen, and followed the path prompt given at the end of the file transfer to find the transferred file, which was a compressed package, and unzipped it to get some files, including several executable binary files, and two other document files, one named algorithm and the other called guide.
Although Smith was very interested in the file called algorithm, he resisted his curiosity because of the urgency of the matter, opened the file called guide and read the contents:
…… Please provide a computer LAN without Internet connection as the evolution environment, follow the following operation prompts to embed the binary file I provide into my seed program, and start, the seed will evolve itself according to my newly designed algorithm, when the evolution program returns successfully, follow the prompts, the evolved seed will be automatically sent to the Internet, and will automatically search for blue code infected nodes in the network, and fix it......
Note: 1. The more computing resources available to the seed, the faster the evolution. 2. I have written the new algorithm of seed evolution in the document algorithm, this algorithm is a gift from me to the professor, thank you for taking care of me during my time in Berkeley, in addition, I also hope that you can use this algorithm to give a reasonable explanation to the blue code and what I did today, Xiao Yuan is grateful. 3. You can write this algorithm as a paper for public publication, but I suggest that when you publish your paper, you can co-sign it with my mother Yang Jingchen.
The above are the two most important paragraphs in the entire guide document, after Smith read it, he felt that what Xiao Yuan said was a little weird, this weirdness was completely different from the strange words and words in the life of the person who pretended to be Xiao Yuan before, but the weirdness of the tone.
However, time was urgent, Smith didn't think about what went wrong, but got up from the computer desk and left, before embedding the binary file given by Xiao Yuan into his seed, there was still some very important preparation to do, the most important thing was to provide the seed with an evolutionary environment that isolated the Internet and enough computing resources.
Coming out of the work area, Smith made some arrangements for these preparations, everyone prepared separately, the work was done quickly, while waiting, Smith came to the monitoring room again, the electronic screen was still changing violently, blue, black and green alternately, lively, but the overall situation was very unoptimistic.
"Professor, according to this situation, within an hour, Xiao Yuan will be completely defeated." A researcher stood beside Smith, staring at the big screen, and said worriedly, he didn't know that the hacker who was fighting with Naughtyninglan at the moment was not Xiao Yuan, in fact, the people who were paying attention to the hacker war on the Internet that almost swept the world at the moment, except for a few people, the vast majority of them thought that Xiao Yuan was fighting because of that public statement, there is no doubt that because of the public statement released by Ning Lan in the name of Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan has become a lonely hero in the hearts of many people at this moment.
"That's not Xiao Yuan, it's someone else, we still have hope." Smith said, after finishing speaking, he glanced at the researcher who was a little surprised by his words, turned around and left the monitoring room, although he still had some doubts about the method provided by Xiao Yuan, but at this time he had no other choice, so he could only choose to believe it, and do what Xiao Yuan said.
"Professor, you've got everything you wanted." After Smith came out, his assistant, Researcher Calaf, also happened to be walking towards the monitoring room, and said after seeing him take a few steps to meet him.
"Okay, good work." Smith patted Calaf on the shoulder and said.
"Professor, Mr. Frank has called again, saying that he will come to the lab to find you in person, and he will be there in an hour." Calaf said.
Smith frowned, but didn't say anything, but let Calaf follow him into the work area on the side, sat down next to the computer again, and reopened the guide written by Xiao Yuan, in fact, this operation guide is very simple, and Smith has read it many times before, but the stakes are very high, Smith seems very cautious, and compares the matters written on the guide with Calaf one by one, and compares the preparations that have been done one by one to ensure that all the work is foolproof, Fang proceeded to the next step as described in the guide file, embedding the binary file provided by Xiao Yuan into the seed program he developed.
This work is simple because of the operation, just find the directory where the seed program is stored, and then run an embedding command in that directory, and the next work is carried out automatically, the embedding process is very fast, almost just the command is issued, and the embedding is completed.
After the embedding is completed, the next step is to send the seed program to the pre-prepared Internet using the commands provided by Xiao Yuan, so that it will evolve automatically, and this work is also only one command, and there is no need for manual intervention after running.
Smith ran this command, and a dialog box appeared on the computer screen with a progress bar above it: Blue Slayer Evolution is in progress, please wait......
"Blue Slayer." Smith chewed on the name, thinking that the program evolved from the seed would be very appropriate if it could completely kill the blue code, and it would be a bit domineering.
Staring at the progress bar in the dialog box on the screen, Smith didn't move the computer again, but he was thinking about the algorithm of this program given by Xiao Yuan, judging from the seed program that Xiao Yuan had to write before, and the word evolution with the highest frequency, the algorithm used by this program should still be based on the chaotic system, but what the specific algorithm design will be, you need to read the algorithm document provided by Xiao Yuan to know.
The progress bar walked forward unhurriedly, and before he knew it, twenty minutes had passed, and the evolution process had only been five percent advanced, and at this rate, it would take at least several more hours to complete the evolution, which made Smith a little anxious.
"The more computing resources you have, the faster the evolution!"
Smith couldn't help but think of the sentence that Xiao Yuan wrote in the guide document, but all the computing resources that can be freed up in the laboratory have been freed up, and the only thing that has not been used is the mainframe in the laboratory, but the price to pay for using a mainframe is too great, not to mention the time and complexity required to convert the configuration is very high, according to Xiao Yuan's requirements, the mainframe needs to be disconnected from the network, and the network chaos system running on it will temporarily lose contact with the outside world, and at this critical moment, The mere loss of monitoring of the outside world is something Smith is very reluctant to see.
Therefore, when he was preparing the computing resources and environment for the evolution of the seed, although he also thought of the mainframe, he finally rejected the idea, and at this time, the slower evolution speed of the seed program made him re-awaken the idea of using the mainframe.
When the idea came back to his mind, Smith quickly made a decision, he was not an indecisive person, and even more so at a critical time like this, he could not be indecisive.
"Calaf, go get Bill." After making his decision, Smith approached Calaf and instructed him that Bill was the head of the lab's mainframe management group.
Bill came over quickly, Smith gave him some instructions, Bill turned and left, Smith also returned to Xiao Yuan's computer and sat down, waiting for Bill to connect the mainframe in the laboratory to the seed evolution LAN, ten minutes later, the progress bar on the computer that had been moving at a constant speed suddenly accelerated, he knew that this should be the effect of the mainframe added.
The progress bar ran to ninety-five percent after five minutes of acceleration, and seeing that it was about to end, Smith couldn't help but get nervous, because after the evolution was completed, it was time to test the results, if it succeeded, of course, everyone was happy, but whether it could really succeed, he was not completely sure, and the result of failure was something he never wanted to see.
"Professor, Mr. Frank is here." Calaf walked in from outside and said to Smith.
"Take him to my office for a while, I don't have time to see him right now." Smith didn't take his eyes off the computer, and waved his hand behind him.
"Professor Smith." However, as soon as he finished speaking, Frank walked in from outside.
"You're here, please sit down first, and we'll talk about it later." Smith turned his head to look at Frank, pointed to a chair next to him, and said to him.
Frank had no choice but to sit down, saw the progress bar on the computer screen that had run to 99 percent, and asked, "Professor, what are you doing here?" ”
Smith didn't answer him right away, because the progress bar was finally 100%, and the dialog box changed: "The evolution of the Blue Slayer is complete, please connect the evolution environment to the Internet, and the Blue Slayer will be automatically released." ”
"Blue Slayer, what is this?" When Frank saw the name, he hurriedly asked, his voice full of surprise and anticipation, "Could it be that you are teaching you the program you developed for Code Blue?" ”
"Sort of." Professor Smith originally wanted to say no, but remembering that Xiao Yuan had repeatedly told him to keep it secret for him, he had to change his words temporarily, but as an old professor, it is inevitable that there is a big psychological obstacle in saying the achievements of a junior as his own, so his tone is also very lacking.
Perhaps this news was too shocking, Frank didn't notice the uncertainty in Smith's tone, but stood up very excitedly, and said: "Great, I really didn't expect me to come here and be such a surprise, but I want to know how sure you, the blue slayer, can clear the blue code." ”
"It's going to be released soon, shall we see?" Smith felt that he really couldn't answer the question, because he didn't know how sure he was.
"Okay, we'll see." Frank said.
"Calaf, you go to Bill and ask him to restore the network connection to BG001." Smith gave Calaf a command, and Calaf turned to leave.
Ten minutes later, the dialog box on the computer screen in front of them changed: the network connection was restored, the blue slayer was being released, please wait......
