Apocalypse Descends Chapter 69 - Mao Sui Plan
And no matter where Leslie went, in the Hindenburg, Zhang Chuan 1 Lan was still talking to Shirley.
"What good did Marshall promise you?" Zhang Chuanlan wanted to know as much as possible about Marshall's intentions, and although the war forced him not to start impeachment proceedings, he could not be allowed to do whatever he wanted.
"He promised to release my parents." Shirley bit her lip and said slowly.
"Your parents? Were they arrested by Marshall? Zhang Chuanlan couldn't believe that Marshall dared to trample on human rights.
"No, they're in the Fleet Prison."
"What about the charges?" Zhang Chuanlan was a little curious.
"Espionage, endangering network security, obstruction of justice, assault on military installations." Shirley reported a long list of charges, but was rather unimpressed.
"What's going on?" Zhang Chuanlan frowned, this didn't sound like a crime that ordinary people could commit.
"Do you know about the "Mao Sui Project"? Shirley asked suddenly.
"I've heard of it." Zhang Chuanlan did not participate, but heard that the council had this plan.
"I know." Paraná said suddenly.
"The Mao Sui Plan is a talent selection program that the Joint Council began to implement 10 years ago. The aim is to elect geniuses who are not understood by the world. Paraná explained roughly.
"The ...... of the genius who is not understood" Zhang Chuanlan was promoted through various stages of education and service in a decent manner, although his talent made him promote quickly, but he couldn't understand what a genius was who was not understood by the world.
"Yes, Lieutenant General Paraná, as well as Dean Christina, are the beneficiaries of this plan." Shirley nodded slightly.
"It is said that more than a decade ago, the Third Fleet had a very strategic pilot. In his spare time, he often writes military intelligence surveys, strategic analysis reports, and the like, and often crosses the ranks to submit these investigations and reports to the Third Fleet Command. But never got a reply. One day, a staff officer of the Third Fleet finally replied to him, but it was the following sentence: 'Don't waste any more efforts, no one will read a strategic analysis written by a pilot.' ’。 No one around him cared what he said, and people always said to him, 'It's your business'. One day, however, the Third Fleet was bogged down in a bitter battle, and he was killed in a battle with Chrissellus. When the battle was over, people looked through the suicide note he left before the attack, and everyone was stunned. ”
Parana sighed, not knowing whether he was ashamed or regretful: "The course and outcome of this battle were predicted in detail, and it was almost exactly the same. At the end of the suicide note, it was written that if he were to command the battle, it would end in a complete victory for the earth, with a complete plan. After this suicide note was seen by the then commander of the Third Fleet, George Pershing, he was ashamed and resigned on the spot, but was stopped. ”
"This man is my brother." Shirley suddenly said with a blank face, but it was undoubtedly deliberately suppressing her feelings.
"Is it your brother?" Barana exclaimed, "Then you ......"
"Don't guess, please keep talking, I'll explain when I get to the point where it's time to explain." Shirley interrupted him.
"Admiral George Pershing felt sorry for him and for the soldiers who died in that battle. So he threw everything he had, used his influence, and finally, ten years ago, the United Earth Council launched a program called the 'Mao Sui Project.' ’”
"The core purpose of this project is to enable geniuses who are buried in the crowd and who cannot get their rightful place through worldly means to develop their ambitions and strive for the well-being of humanity through self-recommendation. The program is open to everyone, regardless of age, wealth, status, or education. Each person only gets two chances in a lifetime, and because the target group for this program is not large, not too many people actually take the test. Those who pass the preliminary examination will have the opportunity to be interviewed by the highest level of experts in the relevant field. For example, the person who interviewed me was none other than Admiral George Pershing. Barana recalled the events of that year and was embarrassed.
"However, the first trial was not bright." Shirley continued, "Many rich kids took this plan as a way to get into it and bribed the examiners for the first exam. Although the initial examination is also ridiculously difficult for ordinary people, as long as you pass the preliminary examination, you can get a position that ordinary people can only obtain after 20 years of hard work. As a result, the plan was almost completely ineffective at the time. ”
"How do you know?" Paraná didn't even know of such a thing.
"My parents went to participate in the program. Because there was no money for the examiner of the preliminary examination, he was directly declared a failure. Shirley had a look of resentment, "My parents lost their only son, and the only legacy my brother left behind can be said to be this plan. They couldn't stand such a thing, and to prove their abilities, they hacked into the United Earth Council Secret Archives. ”
"Hacked into the archives of the Joint Council?" Paraná's eyes widened, "It is said that it would take 1,200 years to crack its defenses with the most advanced computers. ”
"That's right now. Because the current archive is encrypted by Dean Christina herself. Although the previous defense was not bad, it was easily cracked by my parents. ”
"As a result, the Joint Council withheld the information, and the world did not know what my parents were capable of. So, they spread a homemade computer virus across the globe and set it to be automatically removed after a day. The Earth's network was paralyzed for a day. But they are too egotistical, and the effect of the virus is to display my parents' names on the screen of the device. Shirley shook her head, as if she thought it was stupid and ridiculous, "Of course, the police came over, but my parents hacked into the social file system and changed their address information, and the police found the wrong person." Then, the Academy of Sciences locked down the original IP address of the virus, and the defense forces went out to lock down the city in an attempt to capture my parents, only to be hacked into tanks and combat armor by my parents, and control them back to the military base. ”
"You know where their charges came from." Shirley doesn't seem to see it as a crime, but rather as an ability to show off.
"It doesn't sound like much harm......" Barana muttered.
"If my parents join the terrorists, the cyber systems of all human planets will be paralyzed, and it will continue until Dean Christina takes office." Shirley looked proud. "But my parents didn't do that, and even though the darkness of society disgusted them, they wanted to do something for this society."
"So they were caught." Zhang Chuanlan said, "Then how did you get in?" ”
"As a hacker, I naturally have my own methods. On the day Dean Christina took office, I hacked into the computer system of the Academy of Sciences. Shirley said rather conceitedly, "Although the dean cleared the virus I implanted in three strokes and divided by two, she saw my ability. Not only did she not hold me accountable, but she also asked me to join her research group by name. At least in this regard, I am much smarter than my parents. ”
"I'm a little curious, how did Christina get involved in this program?" Paraná asked.
"I've seen that when she was nine years old, she broke into the lecture of the then president of the Academy of Natural Sciences. The security guard at the door thought she was the child of one of the attendees, so he didn't stop her, but she didn't expect her to break into the hall directly. When the security guard reacted and wanted to take her away, she loudly recited the scientific research results that were supposed to be announced at the report meeting. ”
"This ......" Barana's jaw dropped in shock, he didn't expect this Christina to be so powerful.
"This incident was not reported, because no one wanted her to raise her profile when she was a child, so the Academy of Sciences blocked the news and sent her to the Department of Military Science of the Military Academy of the Earth."
"Well, how to say it." Barana rubbed his forehead, "While I am sympathetic to your parents' plight, this is not a reason to break the law. There is no way, the Mao Sui plan is not for inmates at this time. ”
"Marshall promised me that if I got his thing done, he would bring up the matter of amending the Mao Sui Plan in the Joint Council. If I can pass, it will be considered the fulfillment of my parents' wishes. ”
