Chapter 7 Minghe Mirror Connection 25
Meanwhile, Colin and Ogar in the Chinese restaurant are engrossed in doing something else.
Colin used the computer at the front desk of the Chinese restaurant to log in to the background control network of the [Minghe System], and obtained temporary management privileges through a network security vulnerability, and opened the control interface of the subunit of [Mirror Link] with the help of the administrator.
On the screen, a two-dimensional floor plan of Lexington Avenue with a white background and black lines is displayed in front of you. Colin right-clicked the mouse, called up the control mode, changed the control mode, changed the setting bar under the control mode interface to a three-dimensional image, the plane schematic diagram has changed, from the original two-dimensional plane image to a blue three-dimensional image, the points and lines on the original two-dimensional plane are convex outward, the whole plane is stretched longitudinally, and some rectangular modules on the map become three-dimensional cuboids, and then, the outlines of those cuboids continue to sharpen and fine, and finally completely become the same 3D schematic diagram as the virtual scene.
Ogar watched Colin's series of operations, and his mouth opened wide in surprise.
“…… Brother Colin, are you drawing? ”
"No, I'm pulling up the back-end control system. By hacking into the host of the [Minghe System], we can find the sub-unit of [Mirror Connection] - this is a simulated area that we are in now. ”
"Why would you want to do that?"
"You need to pull up the surveillance cameras around you." Colin glanced at Ogal who was tilting her head at the front desk, she looked a little struggling on tiptoe, and Colin gave up the chair to her.
"Do you want to see where Big Brother Mars is?"
"Not only that, but I also want to get familiar with this virtual scene as soon as possible." Colin said, clicking on a building on the screen, which was split in half, and the internal structure of the building could be clearly seen, "We must know the escape route and emergency evacuation route of each building in advance, only in this way can we ensure that we can escape Mars." ”
Ogar tilted his head and thought, "But, Brother Mars saved us just now, will he really hunt us down?" ”
"This time and that time." Colin pushed his glasses, "Just now he told us to go first, but he didn't want the Duke to control us, so as to control Icarus and the Black Blade, but now it's different, Lorraine on the other side of the mirror is a lamb, and Icarus and the Black Blade may kill her at any time, if I were Mars, the first target of pursuit would be the two weakest people who are connected with the strongest." ”
Hearing this, Ogar nodded silently.
After a while, she sighed: "Here, can't you live if you don't kill people......"
"That's the rule of the game, only two players can stay until the end, the others have to die. Duke-Beauty, One-Eye-J have been eliminated, Ogar, you don't want to be eliminated as well. ”
Ogar shook his head; "No, I definitely can't trouble Uncle Blackblade anymore!"
"Then protect yourself." Colin tapped on the keyboard, staring at the three-dimensional buildings on the screen.
After looking at the floor plans of several buildings, he suddenly saw a sign called "Internal Link" in the upper left corner of the screen, and he clicked on the sign with some confusion, but then a prompt box popped up, telling him that he had to enter the administrator key to continue with the command.
(Manager's Key...... What is it? )
Colin frowned, his chin dragging his hand, and he looked at the rectangular input box on the screen in deep thought, the cursor flickering on the screen, and it seemed to flicker in his mind again and again.
"Will it ...... Is it the word 'mirror connection'? Colin muttered and typed in a line of letters, but the system said that there was a typing error.
Then, he tried to use the four characters "mirror link" in French, Chinese, Japanese and other words, and the system showed the administrator's key error.
"Is it the word [Minghe system]?" Ogar came up with a hypothesis.
"Makes sense." Colin also tried to type it a few times, but the system still showed an error.
It seems that this key is a password only known to the back-end engineers of the [Minghe System], and only when you know this password can you click on the "internal link" sign.
This aroused Colin's curiosity, what information is hidden behind such a highly encrypted sign?
Suddenly, he remembered that in [Pandora's Secret] and [Mermaid Hunter], the unspoken rules of the game need to be decrypted to find the answer, could it be that there are hidden rules in this game? You don't necessarily have to have players cannibalizing each other until only one group is left to win?
Colin looked at the screen and fell into deep thought, his gaze falling on the keyboard.
If he is a R&D person, if he wants to set a string of passwords, then the first password combination that comes to mind must be English + numbers, which can be arranged into tens of millions of passwords of different lengths, which can also greatly increase the security of confidentiality.
But how can you guess the correct password? If you try blindly, even if it is three years, you may not be able to try them one by one, and there seems to be no special hint props in the game scene this time, neither room number nor special digital wallpaper, is this hint not actually for players? Rather for back-office staff?
This idea made Colin feel a little reasonable.
It is likely that this sign was specially set up to build a virtual scene during system modeling, and only high-level staff can view it, while low-level staff can only be responsible for trivial tasks such as specific sets.
If you follow this idea, then the hidden information behind this logo should be related to the construction of the entire virtual scene, and even the maintenance of stability and security.
If you open this key, you will undoubtedly be able to gain God's perspective, and if you want to crack the game, it will be no problem.
So, what would be the key......
Colin grabbed his hair, and suddenly, his gaze fell on his arm.
He suddenly remembered that in the kitchen of the cruise ship Octavian, One-Eye had stabbed himself in the arm, and by mistake he had found a note hidden in his body.
"That's right! You can try that ......."
Colin patted his head, lowered his head, and typed a string of characters on the keyboard - [CL13074]
As he entered the last character, he hit enter, and after a moment of pause in front of the screen, a √ sign was displayed, indicating that the manager key was verified.
"It's a success!" Ogar looked at Colin happily.
Colin nodded, and he double-clicked the "Internal Link" logo with his mouse, and a second layer of control popped up in front of the screen.
It was a three-dimensional line drawing, with red, blue, and green lines intertwined against a black background, showing a shape similar to an hourglass, large at both ends and narrow in the middle, which is the virtual scene of the subgame [Mirror Connection]. When you zoom in on the scene model, you can see more clearly the distribution of the three color lines. The blue lines are the most, representing all the buildings and road signs in the virtual scene, those blue lines outline rectangular buildings at the bottom of both ends of the hourglass model, outlining avenues, and even Central Park, you can find that all the lines at both ends of the hourglass model are the same buildings, this is the mirror imaging, the upper and lower parts of the hourglass model are the two sides of the mirror, all scenes are exactly the same, but the 12 players are divided into two groups, They are divided into the upper and lower ends of the hourglass model, which is why in [Xenodimension], the players on both sides of the mirror are upside down and head to head.
Colin clicked lightly and noticed that there were four red lines on the screen, each connecting the upper and lower parts of the hourglass model, and still moving slightly.
Finally, the model also shows a green line, the green line is obviously thicker than the red line and the blue line, the green line starts from the Central Park at the bottom of the hourglass model and ends at the Central Park at the upper part of the hourglass model, and the green line is magnified, and you can clearly see that the green line is like a transmission pipe, and it is like an atomic stream, and there are small green particles moving in it, in two different directions, half from bottom to top, and the other half from top to bottom.
Seeing this, Ogar was confused.
"Brother Colin, what do these strange lines mean?"
“…… These blue lines represent the background data. Colin looked at Ogar and explained, "This background data makes up the whole space we are in, and you can see that in the schematic diagram of the model, the outline of the blue lines at the top and bottom of the hourglass model model is exactly the same, which is the conceptual model of the mirror world." ”
Ogar nodded incomprehensibly.
"And what about the green line?"
Colin clicked on the green line and zoomed in on it: "It's the data stream." Our two worlds seem to be separated, but this is not the case, many data changes are closely related, such as time data, which requires the same progress of time in the two worlds, which also needs to transmit the same data to the two worlds through this green link. Moreover, the reason why we were able to pass with our partner on the other side of the mirror was that the data of our conversation was also transmitted through the green line. Not only that, but some unknown creatures that exist in two worlds at the same time are also transmitted through this data stream, and only in this way can they maintain a dynamic balance in static, and make the two sides of the mirror appear to be both separated and closely related. ”
Colin couldn't help but sigh that the person who made this model was really a genius, not only containing the fantasy of the mirror world, but also meeting the needs of high-tech modeling.
Is such an elaborate stage just to watch them kill each other?
"What a blasphemy......," Colin muttered.
"Blasphemy? What do you mean? The seven-year-old girl didn't seem to understand the meaning of the word, and she tilted her head and looked at her little brother suspiciously.
"That's it...... It is a kind of waste, using a very artistic work to do bloody, cruel, and inhumane things. ”
Colin tapped the keyboard a few times, and finally, zoomed in on the four red lines on the screen.
"What's the red line?" Ogal who was sitting in the chair leaned over slightly, stretched out his finger and pointed at the red lines in front of the screen, "Hey, the ends of these lines are still moving!" ”
"Well, the red line...... Don't you have a red thread on you? ”
At Colin's prompting, Ogal's gaze fell on his wrist with the red thread tied.
She suddenly realized: "I know! These red lines represent the two sides of the mirror, connecting us in pairs! ”
Colin nodded: "Yes, you can see the endpoints of these red line segments moving, but the speed is not very fast, it should be the speed of normal human movement." The reason why there are only four red lines left is because there are already two groups of players who have been eliminated, and the remaining four red lines are the four groups of players You-Blackblade, I-Icarus, Mars-Lorraine, and Caesar Arthur. ”
"So, will our location be displayed on the computer as well?" Ogar blinked.
The kid offered a new way of thinking.
Inspired by this, Colin zoomed in on the bottom of the model, and as he zoomed in, he found the Lexington Avenue he was on, and, when he moved the mouse over the end of the red line, he would be labeled with the person's name.
"I found it, it's us." Colin moved the mouse to two very close dots on the screen, "The one on the left should be you, the one on the right should be me, we are ...... in this Chinese restaurant"
Colin's voice stopped suddenly.
Because he saw that the end of the third red line was also approaching them!
"Brother Colin, who is the third red dot?"
Colin looked up and saw Mars outside the window as a car ran towards the mailbox, poking his head out from behind the mailbox, spying on them.
"Let's go!" Colin unplugged the computer's cable, the computer screen went black instantly, and Colin pulled Ogar to escape in the direction of the back kitchen!
As soon as Mars saw that his whereabouts were exposed, he simply stopped hiding, pushed the door with a gun, and broke into the Chinese restaurant.
The door to the back kitchen was open, and he chased after it, there were only two rows of stoves, a shelf for ingredients, a refrigerator, and a washbasin, and there was no place to hide, Mars glanced at it briefly and headed towards the back door.
Pushing open the back door of the Chinese restaurant, he saw that it was a narrow alley, and the end of the alley seemed to lead to Central Park.
Mars chased after him with a gun.
"Da-da-da-da."
Mars's footsteps faded away, and calm returned to the alley.
That's when Colin and Ogar emerge from a trash can.
“…… It stinks. Ogar pinched his nose and said in a lovely nasal voice.
"He should have left." Colin looked at the other end of the alley and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Colin, how do you know there's a trash can behind the door?"
"At the beginning of the game, I ran out of the back kitchen of the Chinese restaurant and tried to follow the Duke, but I didn't expect to be ambushed by her here, so I knew there was a trash can behind the door. If Mars hadn't looked back, he wouldn't have seen us. And we don't hide behind the trash can, we hide inside the trash can, and people like him generally don't bother to rummage through the trash can. ”
"That'...... Can we leave now? It stinks......"
"Okay, but we'll have to run in the opposite direction, and Mars will chase us out of the alley and don't see us, so he will turn back suspiciously."
