Chapter 8: The Spark
Not only the S organization, but also the major security organizations in the world have all set their sights on the Internet at this time. To be more precise, it is this variant of the virus, and those programmers also gave this variant of the virus program a very loud name, which is called "Spark". The reason for this name is simple, it is due to the phrase that a spark can start a prairie fire. This virus is like this, it can be seen that its terrifying transmission speed has left a deep impression on those security experts who study this virus, and maybe after this matter is over, a sentence will be widely circulated in the world, that is, the speed of the spark.
The United States, which is still the most hidden cyber security center, has the opportunity to gather all their senior programmers, so to speak, everyone here can take charge of the cyber world, but now they are all bothered by the same thing.
"General Garfield, today I observed the reproduction and spread of the Spark virus, and found that it has recently fallen into silence and seems to have reached a tipping point." The old man, whose face looked a little old and tired, and whose eyes were bloodshot, said worriedly.
"What is falling into silence? What has reached a tipping point? The general, dressed in military uniform, asked with a slight puzzle, apparently he didn't understand what Michael was talking about. Or rather, he understood, and was a little unconvinced, after all, he was a general who was absolutely strategizing in the deployment of marching and fighting, but in terms of virus research, he was ignorant, and he was afraid that he would misunderstand and cause any major losses.
Michael, with a slightly solemn face, said calmly: "In other words, the silence is most likely the prelude to the outburst." It means that the Spark virus has reached a tipping point in its outbreak, and no one knows exactly when it will break out, because it seems to be regulated by some kind of program."
This time, General Garfield understood Michael's words, and the virus has reached the critical point of the outbreak, which means that the virus has passed the incubation period and may break out at any time. "Is there a perfect solution now?" He immediately asked the point of the matter, if a way to eradicate this mutant virus program had been found, even if it broke out, there was nothing to fear.
Michael's face looked extremely bitter, as if he had been defeated, "General Garfield, it's only been a few days now, I said last time that it would take at least a month to come up with a perfect solution, and now come up with a solution, do you think it's possible?" ”
As a senior programmer, after a few days of research, he discovered the horror of the Spark virus program. At the same time, after the investigation of the Internet, he also found that the spread of this virus is more widespread, and it has penetrated into almost every corner that can be touched, and he can be sure that as long as this virus breaks out, the Internet world will immediately come to a standstill, and the economy of the world will immediately fall into crisis. Being able to anticipate such an outcome, but not being able to solve it before the crisis, is how willing he is.
"So what to do?" General Garfield was a little confused, and he had no way to do anything about this kind of thing that could be seen and touched on the Internet. If the other party is a group of vicious terrorists, he can immediately lead troops to encircle and suppress them, but he is absolutely helpless against the Spark virus.
"I'm here to tell General Garfield, and I hope you can tell the president and ask him to take immediate action. That is, to reduce the use of computers as much as possible, and even if they do, they must be replaced with new ones, and in the case of absolute disconnection from the Internet," Mike said.
"My God, Michael, how likely do you think that is. It is important to know that the road is now an information society, and those missile positioning, economic exchanges, and aircraft flights, which ones do not need to be regulated by the Internet, and if this is done, how big the loss will be, and who can afford such losses. General Garfield said eagerly, apparently thinking that Michael's claim was somewhat untrue.
"General Garfield, you hear clearly, I know better than you how much I have lost as a super programmer, and I have thought it through to make this opinion. If such measures are not taken, the virus will not break out, even if it breaks out, all computers connected to the Internet will immediately format the hard disk, so that a lot of data and some important backups will be lost, and the loss will be even greater at that time, and no one will take care of it".
Hearing General Garfield's suggestion to refute him, Michael, who was already a little impatient because he had been immersed in research these days, felt even more messy at this time, so he said sharply.
"Mr. Michael, you discouraged, you didn't just say. This virus seems to be regulated, that is to say, the organization that regulates the virus is very likely to be the initiator of this virus" Garfield is a general after all, and he was a little impatient just now, and when he heard Michael's reprimand, his mind finally calmed down, and at this time he suddenly thought of what Michael said just now.
"You're right, it's very likely that the person who created this virus was created. It is possible to regulate this virus in some way, but so far no one or organization has come forward to take responsibility for this matter, and we have no way to find out who is behind the scenes and what their purpose is. So, what we need to do now is to be fully prepared and think in the worst direction. So I still think you have to tell the president about the plan I said, and let him call a meeting to determine how it should be decided."
After Michael said this, the original old face seemed to be a little older, time passed, learning endlessly, when we were old, we found that we have been striving for the top of the world, but in the end we found that the mountains are up, what a sad thing, just like the red face is easy to age.
That seemed to be the only way to go, General Garfield was silent for a moment, and turned to walk outside, he was going to see the president, and now he knew that the decision on this matter was imminent.
"Actually, maybe it's not that bad. I've now started to contact the S organization and ask for their help, as long as I can contact them, I believe they won't sit idly by, and even if they can't get rid of the virus, they should have a way to keep some important computers running. Michael said to Garfield, who seemed to be faltering, that after all, they were all working for the good and safety of the country, although in different ways, they belonged to the same kind of people.
"I hope you're right," General Garfield scratched his head and headed outside.
……
Polytechnic University, women's dormitory. Mo Qianxue lay on the bed, looking at her computer a little speechlessly, and now she had an urge to dismantle it. In her opinion, this virus is too difficult to play, since she came into contact with the computer, she has never encountered a thing that is so difficult, and after studying it for so long, she still has a feeling that she has nowhere to start.
After thinking about it for a while, she still opened the chat tool and got in touch, although extremely reluctantly, but at this time, all the Internet masters must unite, regardless of race or country.
"Wood, how's going on over there? There is no significant progress, we have less and less time left, and if not, we must persuade the higher authorities to take measures, and we cannot just sit idly by. Mo Qianxue sent it gently.
"There's no way, progress is extremely slow. Now many countries in the world have reached a share in this matter, that is, to post some important progress to a public forum in the world. Even if it were, it wouldn't be of much use. According to the news from the Americas, they have already convened a congress to discuss whether to take other measures. ”
On the other side, Mu couldn't help but shake his head, now he didn't have the heart to pay attention to which hackers had come out again to pull over to enhance the strength of his side, these days he has been focusing on the virus Spark of the Star.
"I think you should mention it too."
"I've already called, and I'm probably discussing it now," Wood sighed and shook his head.
At the same time, the same scene was playing out in various countries.
Every country has a group of security people who, although not equipped to tackle the virus, have good eyesight, and they are able to detect that the spread of the spark has reached a tipping point.
……
Of course, Ling Yun didn't know the scene on the Internet, he lay quietly on the bed, opened his eyes and looked at the sunlight shining in from the window, time passed so fast, and it was autumn in a blink of an eye.
Autumn is a harvest season, and he also reaps fruit at this time, which is only the first step of his growth. He didn't expect that the major network security departments in the world, as well as some large hacker organizations, had already messed up at this time. Ling Yun was just quietly waiting for the arrival of the person Luo Jianguo said.
Just now, the guy who claimed to be Zhou Ziyun called and asked about Lingyun's location, saying that he could arrive in an hour, and then Lingyun would take his car to Shanghai, the international metropolis.
Soon Lingyun's phone rang, and he answered the call.
"You're down there now, okay, I'll go down right away."
After hanging up his phone and packing up his things, Ling Yun turned around and walked towards Luxia.
Walking out of the hotel, the dazzling sunlight shines directly from the sky, although it is autumn, but on a clear day, people still feel a little annoying and stuffy under the sun.
