Chapter 3: The Vulcans

The Rama project is a special project. This may be the second time that "all the major powers have tacitly agreed to cover up a secret" – the first being "technical details related to nuclear weapons".

Except for the academics, who enjoy the sheer joy of "discovering the unknown", everyone here is cautious. Their every move has the potential to have an impact on the current fragile international situation.

Not to mention the "leaked" incident.

The fact that "aliens do exist" will have a huge impact on the psychology of the masses. And this shock may be transformed into "panic" and "turmoil".

Although there are also some informed scholars who have made guesses to the contrary. It is said that there is a report on the internal reference of the Republic. The report astutely points out that humanity can strengthen the concept of "human community" by creating an image of "extraterrestrial life" as a group that is different from "us", and makes a generous statement that it is necessary to seize the opportunities for development in the future.

But those in power did not dare to gamble. They can't bet on the turmoil that will erupt when "the populace learns of aliens on an unprepared basis."

It can even be said that the guy "Zhurong" is no longer a mere "Internet guerrilla" from the moment he releases "Sita". He may be the most feared terrorist of the 21st century.

"Probably understandable...... Xiang Shan nodded, and then turned his gaze to his tablet: "That's it...... It's a bit of a pity. I think the impact he's had so far has been quite positive. ”

"Hey......" Officer Hu shook his head: "Director Xiang, you still have to pay a little attention." From your standpoint, it's a bit inappropriate to say this. ”

Xiang Shan nodded slightly. In fact, Jing Hongtu also said something similar to him, but the direction he was pointing in was completely opposite.

- In the republic, scientists are a group of people who receive special treatment. Why? Because "science and technology are the primary productive forces". Do you think there aren't that many rationalists who advocate rationalism? That's right. In this context, "science and technology" can be equated with "divine power", and you are a "wizard who communicates divine power". You are even the most powerful Engineer of the Modern Wizards.

- Because you're a "wizard", it's normal for you to say something godlike. And because you are a "wizard", you will be easily forgiven if you verbally collide with the "princes and nobles". Even this kind of inappropriate stunned words and deeds will strengthen the impression of those nobles on you. The more you behave, the more they think you're skilled.

β€”β€”Is there no inevitable connection between whether the technology is hard or not and whether the character is flute or not? Ha ha. Of course not. But this is the stereotype of our country from top to bottom. The more you behave, the more they will feel that you are technically reliable, and the less threatening you will be. Even if you make a statement that is completely contrary to your core values, as long as there is no actual act of treason, everyone will at most shut you up and disappear from public view.

- Yes, "to dispel such stereotypes" and "disenchant science itself", these are very meaningful. But at this stage, it is also possible to "use this stereotype". You don't have to worry about not doing well after taking office, and you don't have to feel pressure.

Xiang Shan is just a stunned person in "acting in his true colors".

He looked at his tablet and said, "I think the discussion of these hackers is still very valuable. Although they are not systematically trained like me, they have cultivated a very vital thinking in the fight of knives and guns. Their discussions can still give me some inspiration. Normally, these guys can't get into this park. ”

Senior Colonel Lei nodded and said, "Director Xiang is worthy of being a scientist and has the spirit of devoting himself to his career. But we really can't joke about 'social stability'. Not to mention these hackers, those guys who go ashore to launder can't. ”

The cyber security personnel of many large enterprises are the result of famous hackers being whitewashed and recruited. But the old guys who have washed their hands are also not trusted. Who can guarantee that these former "cyber guerrillas" will not come up with outrageous ideas such as "everyone has the right to know this information" and "the big countries have no right to monopolize alien intelligence, this is hegemonism" and then poke the matter out?

After all, this is their youth.

Director Hu said: "But the audit will be slowly relaxed in the future." If Director Xiang really wants to recruit some hackers to help with research, he can do it at that time. ”

Xiang Shan nodded: "I really hope that day will come soon." ”

"However, the matter of 'communicating with hackers' is not without eyebrows." Lei Chaoyang raised his sword eyebrows and said, "This time I contacted you, and I still came to inform you of a message." The United States could not sit still this time. They're going to send their best hackers over. You can try to communicate with him, but be careful. ”

Xiang Shan was a little surprised: "Isn't it that you can't pass the trial?" ”

After all, hackers are either uninhibited and freedom-loving idealists, or inherently restless people who want to challenge the rules. The former is pure and the latter is chaotic, both of which are difficult to change.

Colonel Lei pulled out a stack of materials from his briefcase. It includes a photo and a points file.

"Here's the hacker's profile. You must pay attention to this person and make sure that your electronic devices are not touched by him. Senior Colonel Ray said.

The photo shows a young man about the same age as Xiang Shan, probably a year or two younger. He was thin, with his shoulders slumped and his neck long. Above the towering cheekbones and sharp nose bridge are a pair of gloomy and arrogant eyes.

This blonde and blue-eyed young man vaguely gives people an uncomfortable feeling.

It's really like the stereotypical techno-nerd boy in the United States TV series.

"This guy is the big hacker?" Muttered upward: "Can't see ......"

Jakub Hartmann, a native of the United States of German descent, was born in Pennsylvania. His parents were both evangelical. He grew up in a conservative family and his favorite works are Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, and Rainbow Six ......"

"Wow." Xiang Shan nodded: "You mean, he's the kind of ...... Someone with a bit of a Cold War mentality? ”

Lei Chaoyang nodded: "Jakubu Hartman is a guy with great patriotic enthusiasm. ”

"It doesn't seem to be the same as mainstream hackers?"

"But he was underestimated because of this. He is the strongest hacker. Lei Chaoyang said: "This guy relied on self-study when he was in high school and mastered all kinds of hacking techniques. In the circle of hackers, he got the ID of 'Agni' and made a name for himself. Moreover, he hacked into the CIA's system and spied almost all of the CIA's classified documents. ”

"If he hadn't left a cover letter himself, I'm afraid the CIA wouldn't have been able to find him."

Xiang Shan nodded: "That's really ......"

"The same cover letter also appeared inside the Pentagon's system. This guy is as unguarded as a ghost. ”

Xiang Shan wiped his face: "This guy made such a big battle just to ...... Job? ”

"His dream is to be a warrior to defend his country." Lei Chaoyang said: "Some of the above information was released by the United States itself, and some of it is confidential. Director Xiang, you know that you don't want to go around talking about it. ”

Xiang Shan was a little puzzled: "I think it should be difficult to know about this matter......

Lei Chaoyang hesitated: "The main thing is that he left a cover letter in both the military and the CIA, and neither side knew that the other party knew about it, and both sides wanted to solve it independently, so there was some turmoil a few years ago, and then the news leaked and was known by other countries." ”

Xiang Shan smacked his tongue: "This is also enough to be fluted." ”

So the first reward he received was not a dream job, but a prison sentence. It's just that this guy later joined the FBI for some reason, and played a big role in the FBI, dismantling many online illegal groups in the United States. ”

"In the United States' hacker circles, the ID 'Agni' stinks. Many hackers have threatened to rub the spirit of this traitor. But to this day, he is still the strongest 'Agni'. ”

Xiang Shan smiled: "But seriously, hackers can't dampen his spirit, right?" The most important thing for hackers is their 'real name'. Because once your real name is known to other people, that person can send you to jail at any time. But this Agini is already a public official, and he is still the kind that specializes in rectifying hackers. ”

He did remember this strange thing. Due to his professional relationship, Xiang Shan occasionally communicates with his counterparts abroad. He is really not familiar with "Zhurong", which is specifically aimed at technology companies, but "Agni" has heard of it. It's just that his area of expertise is far from cybersecurity, so he doesn't have an in-depth understanding.

"Hackers also have hacking rules, and I don't know much about them. Probably to destroy his information or something? Lei Chaoyang shook his head.

"Having said that, first 'Zhurong', then 'Agni'......" Xiang Shan pondered: "Do these hackers like to go to the name of the god of fire?" ”

"Oh, this one." Lei Chaoyang smiled: "This is a trend in recent years? You may not know that you are an academic. A few years ago, this 'Vulcan' ID caused an unusually bloody storm on the rivers and lakes of hackers. Everyone wants to grab an ID about Vulcan. ”

"'Zhurong' and 'Agni' won't be mentioned. In addition, there are 'Loki', 'Vulcan', 'Hephaestus', 'Huode Xingjun', 'Gagu Earth Destiny'......"

"Now there's a saying in hackers. The hacker with the name of Vulcan is the strongest. ”
