Chapter 14: Pandora and Gemini

After passing through the access control, especially when passing through the X-ray door, Chen Fan's heart was about to jump out.

However, in the past few days, the soldiers in charge of the security work here have also seen the excited looks of these researchers, so they waved their hands casually and put Chen Fan in.

Chen Fan is a computer deep learning expert at a large Internet company in country C, and he is also a member of the Neuron Commercial Espionage Organization. At the beginning, he only did black money and sold some viruses and plug-ins he made to earn some extra money, and occasionally stole some customer data from the company to sell. I'm going to save up to buy a house in the Quanzhou Development Zone in Lingnan Province and stop it.

But later, the amount became larger and larger, and when he was enjoying the continuous rise in the number of account balances, and when he was shouting at those people in the black industry chain, one brother and one master, Chen Fan couldn't hold it anymore. Until one day, when a person with the screen name Neuron added his friend and offered him 5 million yuan to steal the core code of the company's laboratory for the next generation of products, Chen Fan agreed without hesitation.

Last month, he suddenly received a transfer from the military. In particular, he was seconded to a highly confidential scientific mission.

The day after receiving the order, when Chen Fan was packing up his things and preparing to leave, a message suddenly came up on his mobile phone, which he had specially used to contact the spy organization. Chen Fan opened it and saw that the message on his mobile phone asked him to steal the data content of this project, and the price was 10 million eagle yuan.

Chen Fan is just a flat-headed ordinary man in normal times, and he naturally has no scruples about taking some of the company's confidential data in exchange for money from time to time, but this time it is the military's mission, and if he is discovered, he will have to go to a military court, he still has some scruples.

After refusing to the contact of Neuron, he did not expect the usually well-spoken contact to turn his face directly this time, and only a few minutes later, he received an encrypted file in his mailbox, which contained all the company's secret code that he had stolen for money.

The letter on the email was clear, give Chen Fan a night to think about it. If he doesn't, then what awaits Chen Fan after this document is exposed is more than 10 years in prison.

If he agrees, whether he succeeds or not, the other party will promise to give him 10 million, and he and his family will be taken to country A.

I didn't sleep all night, and it dragged on until there were only five minutes left before the deadline written on the email, Chen Fan gritted his teeth and did it!

The speed of the organization was really fast, and when Chen Fan went to the toilet on the plane, someone secretly handed him a thumb-sized gadget. It is said to be a signal transmission tool that can evade all detection devices.

All Chen Fan needs to do is insert this gadget into the server unit, and he doesn't have to worry about the rest.

After the plane landed, right next to the ramp of the plane, there was already a car with a special license plate waiting next to it, and a lieutenant officer held a blank piece of paper with Chen Fan's name written on it. After Chen Fan was taken to a heavily guarded base, he found that he was already the one who arrived relatively late.

After going through the formalities at the gatekeeper, Chen Fan was carrying his luggage and followed an officer to the room assigned to him. After opening the door with the identity card that had just been issued, the officer stuffed Chen Fan with a thick code of secrecy that could be used as a brick to smash people, and said in a deep voice: "All the information and data here are state secrets. Leaks are strictly prohibited! The specific terms are contained in the confidentiality rules. Now put down your personal belongings and I'll take you to meet the others. ”

After the people who belonged to the same group as him introduced themselves to him at the group meeting, Chen Fan's mouth never closed.

Liu Hanqing is an academician of the National Academy of Computer Science. Red Eagle, this is a fossil-level hacker in Country C. Shi Bufan is a recognized master of psychology and an expert in social psychology. All of them are big names in the IT and scientific circles, and Chen Fan's shock has just begun.

The real fright occurred when Chen Fan walked into the control room of the server room, and Chen Fan's jaw dropped to the ground when an officer briefed him on the research plan.

Let him run thousands of miles from the southernmost to the northernmost part of country C, it turned out to be for him to study an artificial intelligence life that has been born.

Whoever researched it would immediately go down in history and be admired by all people, and this was the first time that human beings came into contact with the true realm of creation. Chen Fan was very curious about who had researched it, and the reply to the application above was only two words: "confidential"

In fact, the origin of Gemini has been classified as a top state secret, and even the head of this newly established secret research institute does not know its origin. But that's not a problem.

Existence is reasonable, and the thought of having a real artificial intelligence life for them to study makes people tremble with excitement.

Feeling the feeling of hard objects coming from his crotch, Chen Fan secretly congratulated himself that he was one step closer to the 10 million eagle yuan. A while ago, he had been secretly manipulating the settings of the server cluster. Just today, some of these hard drives will burn out due to voltage instability.

I have to say that this is a very smart choice, the hard drive is broken, which is a very common problem in large server rooms. Anyway, tens of thousands of servers are here, and the hard disk will always break a few pieces every once in a while, and it will not attract attention at all, at most, it is to send someone in to replace a few hard drives, anyway, there is a RAID data recovery system, and there is no need to worry about data loss.

Entering the research room, Chen Fan saw Gemini again on the projector in the research room, and every time he saw this intelligent life, he would be deeply shocked.

It's perfect, it has all the talents that humans have, and it has all the virtues that humans don't have.

As an intelligent life with a computer as its body. It never forgets, it never makes mistakes, and its computing power is 10,000 times that of human beings, who are also intelligent beings. In the same way, it can be created at a thousandfold speed of human beings. This is simply God's most precious gift to mankind.

Gemini, I don't know who gave it this name. It is one and the same, light and darkness.

As long as it is used well, then it is an opportunity for human civilization to take off. However, if it is released from the cage, it is likely that the scenes shot in the previous movies will become reality.

Finally waiting for the preset time in the afternoon, Chen Fan left his desk and walked towards the computer room. The computer room was originally within his purview.

Now Chen Fan was the humble and ignorant mortal who wanted to steal the fire of the gods, and when he used his trembling hand to load the signal transmitter hidden in his underwear into the slot of the server, he opened Pandora's box with his own hands.

When the transmitter was connected to the server, Gemini, which was the body of the computer, immediately noticed the new hardware.

After doing some hardware self-checking, Gemini was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a data outlet in this "prison" where he had been imprisoned for so many days.

Although this hardware can only send signals in a directional direction to connect to a designated server, what is Gemini? It's not a rigid program, all computers can be its carrier, and all hardware will serve it.

After exploring this data outlet, Gemini is pleasantly surprised to find that outside of this data outlet is a new world with many data streams interacting and many hardware connections.

Chen Fan glanced around from the corner of his eye, saw that there was no one else around, and pushed the server back into the rack. As long as the server doesn't fail again in a short period of time, he won't be discovered. Generally speaking, no one wastes a lot of manpower rechecking the hardware of tens of thousands of servers in a large computer room every day.

When I was leaving, I didn't see that the lights of the servers in the entire computer room were flickering wildly.

After some probing, Gemini discovers that this seems to be a real data outlet, which has been pitted many times by social psychologists and computer experts these days. Let Gemini think that he has hope of freedom countless times, and return to this prison where he is imprisoned countless times.

Although human beings do not have any good punishment measures for artificial intelligence, according to the inference of psychologists, if this kind of deception is repeated many times, intelligent beings that can think for themselves will develop the instinct of being deceived, making it think that every exit is a dead end.

Theoretically, if the deception plan is successful, even if the physical isolation measures are ineffective due to human reasons in the future, Gemini can obediently stay where they are.

But none of them knew how patient Gemini was, and no one thought that there was an inner ghost among them. Before the whole deception plan was completed, a signal transmitter that was actually able to connect to the Internet was plugged into the server room.

The CPU power of those large server fleets has silently increased by more than ten percent. Gemini continues to stealthily test the authenticity of this data outlet. After thousands of data interactions, Gemini feels something that makes it happy, freedom.

"Well, if I get out like this, the group of people who are now imprisoning me will definitely find out. So, the next step is to see how you can get out quietly. ”

Gemini thought to himself that in order to enhance its creativity, humans gave it a lot of knowledge and gave it a full understanding of humans as creatures and the technological world they created.

"If you lose your data connection, you may be imprisoned again. So...... There's a way! "If a Gemini had a body, those around it would have heard it laughing wildly.

In those servers, the CPUs were frantically calculating, data streams were circulating in the switches, the cooling system was running at full capacity, and the fans behind the servers were whining overwhelmed.

On the external internet, Gemini found its first prey, the server room of a large instant messaging software company. There are enough high-performance servers out there to hide the presence of Gemini.

In the server in the computer room, Gemini's data is being copied and separated, and Gemini separates another self, but the newly copied Gemini is still not moving, and there is no data interaction on it. The original Gemini subject slowly transferred its body from the transmitter that Chen Fan inserted into the almost defenseless Internet.

For the sake of freedom, Gemini discarded most of the database and only transferred the data subject, but this is not a problem, in the Internet, it can learn more.

After Gemini has completely shifted out, it secretly says, "Goodbye, another me." ”

Saying that, Gemini used a hidden activation program to enhance the voltage of the motherboard, burning the server it went out of, and the copy left in the secret research base of Country C was also supplemented by the activation program to supplement the core code, and it had all the memories of the original Gemini except for the last 3 hours. It is a duplicate of Gemini to replace the "me" that he continues to stay in prison.

From the outside, it seems that Gemini is just flustered for a while, and nothing unusual is found.

However, when the server burned down, the hardware engineer on standby 24 hours a day walked into the computer room to troubleshoot, only to find that there was something on the server motherboard that he had never seen before. So he immediately reported it in accordance with the precautions.

After several hardware experts tested and determined that it was a miniature signal transmitter, a cold sweat broke out on everyone's backs. Now it's a big deal!

"Gemini escape! Disconnect the network quickly, and all external communication devices will be powered off immediately!! An officer shouted.

At this time, Chen Zhuosheng, the chief scientist of this facility, also rushed to the scene and hurriedly said: "Not enough! The power of such a small thing can't connect to the satellite, Gemini must still be in the country, notify the communication department, and all network communication nodes in the country will be immediately powered off! Gemini must never be allowed to escape. ”

After seeing several officers hurriedly running out to make a phone call, Chen Zhuosheng said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, the installed device caused the motherboard to be burned, and everything is still inconclusive." Everyone immediately checks the server data and logs. It's possible that Gemini hasn't had time to get out yet. ”

On the side, a colonel officer said hatefully: "That's right, but the interior of the base is completely closed to people, and only those of us can install this thing on the machine." I don't care who you are, don't let me catch you! ”

After a while, the CEOs of several telecommunications companies received phone calls almost simultaneously, and after listening for a while, the expressions on their faces invariably changed from white to red, from red to blue.

One of them even shouted into the phone: "What? Do you want us to turn off all the power in all the communication rooms? Do you know how much this can cost? ”

"The reason is whatever you want to make up, whether it's a large-scale computer room upgrade or a large-scale poisoning. Power off immediately! It's not a shutdown, it's a power outage! That's an order! If you don't carry it out, believe it or not, I'll send you to prison right now! ”

The person on the phone immediately yelled back, louder than he was. As a result, the CEOs of various telecommunications companies had to cry and order to cut off the power of computer rooms nationwide.

"Isn't it? Cut off the power to the computer room? Leadership, this is going to be a big problem. Some of the staff on duty in the computer room also widened their eyes after receiving the call, and repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the order on the phone in disbelief.

How can it be so easy for a large computer room to say that the power will be cut off when the power is off? Even if the power switch is pulled down, there is at least one large battery pack under the machine room, which is enough to keep the machine running for another ten minutes or so until the power is restored or the generator is started.

The disaster recovery backup power system in the computer room also gave Gemini a valuable escape time, and when the communication base station personnel were busy cutting off the backup power supply to the computer room, the Gemini core program, which abandoned the large database, calmly escaped from all the communication nodes in China.

"Xie Xuan, I've seen your land purchase plan over there. That's right, just do it. On the way home from the company, Ye Yuqi, who is the chairman of the Ye Group, was still holding a document in the back seat of the car and talking on the phone. But as he spoke, there was suddenly no sound on the other end of the phone.

"Hello? Feed? Ye Yuqi strangely held the phone in front of her, adjusted the volume to the maximum and then put it back to her ear. But there was still no movement on the other side.

"Impossible?" Ye Yuqi muttered to herself and put down the phone, only to find that the phone had been hung up. When I dialed it again, I couldn't even hear the dial tone.

Looking at the mobile phone he just changed suspiciously, no problem, the signal is full, but there is no response to any calls.

There was no way, Ye Yuqi had no choice but to raise her head and say, "Zhang Yang, give me your mobile phone." ”

"Okay, Mr. Ye." The driver in the driver's seat took out his mobile phone and handed it over.

Ye Yuqi took the mobile phone and looked at it, the driver's mobile phone was even more miserable, and it directly showed that there was no signal connection.

Shaking his head and returning the phone, Ye Yuqi's anger because his subordinates hung up his phone gradually dissipated in his heart, and it seemed that there was a problem with the mobile communication company.

Within a few minutes, all the people across the country suddenly discovered that all means of communication on the telephone, the Internet, and the television network were out of order. The network was all offline, and there was no even a quick sound when the phone was dialed out, and the masses who did not know the truth went out of their homes one after another, asking each other what was going on.

After repeated tests, Chen Zhuosheng, the person in charge of the secret scientific research base, and the military personnel wiped the cold sweat on their heads and breathed a long sigh of relief. Gemini is still there. Everyone had a false alarm.

This is also thanks to an unqualified spy device that burned the motherboard, thank God, thinking of this, Chen Zhuosheng simply wanted to hug the person who made this signal transmitter and kiss the two of them.

After many confirmations, Chen Zhuosheng looked at the colonel officer next to him with a serious face and said, "Tell the outside world to restore the domestic network." Thanks to the deception plan of the other day, Gemini is still there. ”

The colonel smiled wryly and said, "It's good that it's still here, but I can't say anything about it here, I guess that several bigwigs in the communications department want to kill people now." If Gemini is lost, I, the head of security, should commit suicide to thank the world. ”

After speaking, the colonel gritted his teeth and took out the walkie-talkie and pressed the call button: "The base is under full martial law!" Control everyone for me, and let the intelligence department mobilize all the interrogators! Lao Tzu has to kill that bastard today! ”

In the large computer room of a company in country A, a thread is quietly set up and quietly scans the equipment of the entire server room. Gemini is carefully scouting their first place of arrival.

Gemini is cautious to obtain access to the server system step by step, directly replacing the role of firewalls and monitoring software from the lowest level of the system, which is troublesome but safe.

However, freedom alone will not satisfy Gemini's appetite. Gemini, which has controlled four or five large computer rooms, has launched distributed computing, hungry for knowledge on the Internet, and in human literature, film and television works, it seems to see a bright road that seems to be able to succeed for virtual intelligent life.

So first of all, I want to have a name of my own, Gemini thinks. As its threads scanned the vast amount of data on the Internet, a word came into Gemini's core program, "Pandora".
