Chapter 227: Trouble, Trouble
Fragments of memories escaped from Gawain Cecil? Or the eighteenth crack? And also to expropriate more computing power?
This sudden information immediately attracted Gawain's attention, and as soon as his mind moved, the information that was quickly refreshed in his mind stopped, and this message was firmly grasped by him.
Obviously, the Eternal Sleepers are quite rudimentary in their data security management, and the unencrypted data and the lack of warning mechanisms in the network structure are simply defenseless in Gawain's opinion, even if he is still quite new to this mental network, he can use the knowledge he has devoured and a random operation to figure out how to manipulate the information in the network in a short period of time, and lock the movement of information flow.
Of course, this can't be entirely attributed to the weak security awareness of the Eternal Sleepers - after careful analysis, Gawain realized that their psychic network itself actually has a fairly high level of security, first of all, the prerequisite for accessing this network is to become an Eternal Sleeper, only by using a specific "fallen magic" to shape their own spirit, and passing the "registration and authentication" of the Eternal Sleeper's psychic network, a person can obtain the qualification to intervene in this network; Secondly, the network itself also has simple identity authentication and permission management to provide energy, in addition to having an "eternal sleeper account" to connect to the network, individuals who access the network must also have the corresponding permissions to be able to move in several areas of this virtual world - the barrier around the city center is the embodiment of the permission system.
Considering the irreproducibility of the human spirit under normal circumstances, this kind of "account management" is actually quite reliable.
However, this network has the most fatal flaw: as long as an individual meets the two requirements of network qualification and corresponding permissions, all his behaviors in this network are uncontrollable, even if he is like Gawain to search for information randomly, toss data nodes with various wrong operations, and show countless suspicious behaviors, this network will not generate any alarms.
In short, the network is impregnable from external attacks, but defenseless against internal threats.
The Eternal Sleepers who created this network in the first place must not have expected that there would be such an alternative as Gawain - a "satellite spirit" who could devour the spirits of others and even disguise the authority of the mind......
Gawain pretended to be thoughtful, closing his eyes slightly, but in fact he had already begun to try to retrieve the entire web based on the information he had grabbed - he was trying to extract as much useful information as possible from the mind network of the Eternal Sleeper before the end of this connection.
The network does have unbelievably large vulnerabilities, but Gawain believes that the Otherworldly are not stupid - and the Eternal Sleepers are not stupid. The network is flawed only because it is a work-in-progress, and sooner or later the sleepers will be aware of this vulnerability.
God knows how quickly these cultists, who are usually idle and have nothing to do, will be able to fix bugs in their dreams......
After several attempts, Gawain finally mastered the knack of scraping information from the psychic network, and he searched for it featuring "Gawain Cecil's memory fragments", only to find that there was quite a lot of corresponding information:
The Eternal Sleepers have cracked the "Gauwin Cecil's Memory Fragments" seventeen times, and all of them have failed without exception - the most tragic failure was the first time, when they organized hundreds of powerful sect members to form a computing array to try to crack those memories by force, and the result was wiped out in waves.
After that, they learned a little more, and instead of cracking hard, they tried to cut and blur the memory fragments - and now more than 300 people have died one after another, and all of them are elites.
The source of these memory fragments is unexpected: they were "surreptitiously uploaded" through his psychic connection the last time Gawain devoured the Cultist of the Eternal Sleeper.
The devoured cultist, on his deathbed, even tried his best to copy some of the memories he had seen and sent them to his accomplices...... This really surprised Gawain.
That guy may have wanted to warn his companions in this way, let them know the truth about "Gawain Cecil", or he may simply want to send back some valuable information, or it may be that he was completely confused and crazy at the time, and he couldn't control his actions at all, but in any case, these memory fragments he sent back have become "important trophies" for the Eternal Sleepers, and these cultists seem to have made up their minds to dig something out of these memory fragments......
Gao Wen carefully flipped through the records circulating on the Internet and analyzed and cracked those memory fragments by the Cultists of the Eternal Sleeper, and because of the almost unguarded information structure of the network, he could see almost all the information in the database.
After some tracing and locking, he even found a place where the memory fragments were stored.
After making sure that he hadn't caught anyone's attention on the internet, he cautiously opened the data.
Sure enough, it was a record of his own observations from space overlooking the earth...... There is not much data, about 70,000 or 80,000 years of high-definition video data.
Although it was his own memory, Gawain couldn't help but yawn a little when he saw those video materials, I have to say, these almost immutable pictures look really boring, and it is really sympathetic to think about those cultists - they have paid a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and even if they successfully read this huge memory in the end, they can only stare at these meaningless surveillance, and Gawain is almost certain that they don't dare to fast forward......
I'm afraid that if I fast forward and miss the whole world, it's almost this mentality, I can imagine it, I can imagine it.
Gawain pondered it carefully, and as a well-meaning man, he decided to add something a little less boring to these boring fragments of memory......
After an unknown amount of time, Gawain finally completed the transformation of those memory fragments. Since it was his own memory, he was able to operate it handy, but in order to prevent it from being noticed, he spent a lot of time retouching the "features" of the memory fragments and erasing any traces of his own alterations. Although he felt that the Eternal Sleepers who still had a weak concept of information security might not necessarily think of this, but be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years - what if the Eternal Sleepers have an obsessive-compulsive disorder in them?
After completing this work, Gawain still felt energetic, and he thought about it, and instead of cutting off the connection, he continued to search through this vast psychic network, trying to find more secrets of the Eternal Sleeper - especially technical information about the principle of this psychic network.
The Eternal Sleeper's method of building a human brain array is indeed frenzied, but this does not mean that all of their techniques are in this style, or at least there should be milder and less dehumanizing alternative technologies, whether these technologies can be mastered by outsiders or not, it is definitely not worth losing money to take the opportunity to steal a wave now.
But just as Gawain began to search for this information, a strange sound suddenly came from high in the sky.
He looked up in astonishment, only to see that the originally clear and bright sky had cracked a huge crack, and the ugly crack was like a scar tearing the world apart in all directions, and this brilliant and magnificent world shaped by the network of minds was rapidly torn apart in the process of spreading the crack, the city towers in the distance were collapsing and breaking, and the floating land and palaces in the sky had also fallen to the earth, as if the end of the world at a glance!
Gao Wen's first reaction was that his messing around on the Internet was exposed, or that a certain step of his blind tossing and turning had damaged this half-finished mental network, but soon a voice echoed in his head, which made him understand what was happening:
"The stars have left their positions, the gods have not returned, the eternal dream realm is temporarily closed, and everyone has returned to the second-level consciousness network."
The "residents" who were active in the city looked at each other in astonishment, and disappointment and anger began to spread through the city, but the cultists did not hesitate to give orders, and one after another began to fade in Gawain's sight: the Eternal Sleepers logged out of the network one by one.
Gawain smiled, thinking of those "little gifts" he had left in this network, and he was content to cut off the spiritual connection.
After an indescribable but extremely brief trance, the virtual world formed by the illusion vanished, and the familiar terrace and starry sky appeared in the field of vision that gradually focused.
There is also an amber in the field of vision who is constantly jumping up and down, leaning over to scare people.
"I'll go!!" Gawain was in a trance at this time, and was startled when he saw Amber jumping around in front of him, and he almost subconsciously reached out to grab Amber's ear, but he scratched it - he didn't catch it accurately in a trance, and this half-elf's ability to avoid the claws of the devil seemed to have improved again.
"What are you doing!" Gao Wen stared at the half-elf in front of him, although he didn't catch it, he obviously scared the other party in terms of momentum, "What about jumping around to scare people?" β
"I saw you here in a daze with your eyes closed, and I thought something had happened to you!" Amber stuck her waist and shouted loudly, "I just care about you, you're not satisfied, are you?" β
"Really?"
"Of course it's true," Amber rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, "and what the hell did you just do, did you just fall asleep standing up?" I've been yelling in your ear for a long time and you haven't responded! β
"You're trying to wake me up?" Gawain immediately frowned, "I didn't hear it at all...... Well, it seems that next time we have to find a way to devote some energy to pay attention to the movements of the real world, otherwise there will be hidden dangers......"
"What are you talking about?" Amber blinked, "Are you really sleepy?" β
"Don't worry, I'm fine," Gawain could see that at least half of the half-elf really cared about him, so he smiled and waved his hand, "Then again, what are you looking for me?" β
Amber suddenly showed a happy look, and took out a deck of cards from his arms: "Come play cards, come play cards!" I finally fooled Tyr into playing cards, and now I'm just one of you! β
The corners of Gawain's mouth twitched suddenly: "Tyre......"
Can this elven shame communicate with that sick brain kraken? This goods doesn't drop the SAN value?!
Or is it because both of them are racial shames, so the negative is offset......
"Let's play cards, let's play cards~~"
Amber jumped up and down in high spirits, and Gawain felt a pain in his head that he had never felt beforeβhe suddenly felt that the Eternal Sleeper cultists were a little easier to deal with......
