Chapter 199: Success

"Duke," Professor Andrew called Duke to his office the next day. "Now that you can improve the performance of the operating system, I wonder if you can improve the performance of the application?"

Professor Andrew's words made Duke's heart run to an overclocked state all of a sudden, throwing out such a big child, and finally hoping to lure the wolf out, thinking of this, Duke couldn't help but feel a tearful feeling, it was not easy, he had made such a great contribution to Uncle Sam's supercomputer career, and now he finally had the opportunity to harvest a little results.

"If there is source code, some beneficial improvements should be made for the algorithm optimization of mass computing." Duke suppressed his excitement and said in a more objective tone as much as possible.

Of course, to Professor Andrew's ears, Duke's words seem more modest, and it should not be a problem to improve the efficiency of an application by improving the performance of an open-source operating system that has been honed so much. "Duke, you see, the most important nuclear reaction simulation program in our laboratory is also very computationally intensive, can you take some time to improve it for us?"

Professor Andrew said in a consultative tone. Because this thing itself is not what Duke should do, and more importantly, even if some results are obtained, this result Duke must not come up with.

"Of course, this system is a Class A secrecy system in the United States, and we hope that you can sign a confidentiality agreement to ensure that the secrets obtained in the improvement process will not be leaked, so you will not get any commercial benefits in this improvement process, and in the improvement process, we will also have strict confidentiality security measures." Andrew added.

As long as I have access to the source code, any security measures are a cloud to me, and no one can imagine that the eyes are the most powerful hacking tools. Duke said secretly in his heart, but on the surface, Duke still pretended to think about it for a while, and then agreed to Andrew.

When Duke was taken by Andrew to the outside of an inconspicuous room in a remote corner of the laboratory, Duke realized that Hewitt had passed by with him, but at the time he saw that the room was very ordinary, and he thought it was a tool room or something. Who knew that there was something else here, and it actually required a special permission to swipe the card to be able to open the door outside.

When Andrew swiped his card into the room, Duke was greeted by a room full of monitors and two heavily armed security guards, whose eagle-sharp eyes swept over Duke before falling back on Professor Andrew.

"Professor Andrew, do you have a maintenance mission today?" One of the security guards asked solemnly, and although he seemed to be very familiar with Professor Andrew, it seemed that even Professor Andrew could not enter or leave the humble room at will.

"Yes, today I requested improvements to the application, but it wasn't me who carried out the maintenance today, but Dr. Duke." Andrew pulled out a file, handed it to the dedicated security guard, and pointed at Duke. Duke glanced at the document, which had a colorful portrait of himself and Professor Andrew, apparently for security to check.

The security guard read the documents, then checked Duke's ID before taking out two documents, handing them to Duke with a smile and saying, "Welcome, Dr. Duke, please read the safety instructions carefully before entering the nuclear reaction application maintenance terminal." Please sign this confidentiality agreement with the understanding of the security instructions. ”

Duke took the two documents, one was a one-page safety instruction, Duke read it carefully, only to know that the room he was in now was just an entrance to the maintenance laboratory, and the real maintenance laboratory was underground, and to enter this laboratory, he had to take off his clothes all over his body in a locker room below, and change into specially prepared clothes, this measure was obviously to prevent someone from bringing some inappropriate things into the underground maintenance laboratory.

In addition, before entering the laboratory, it has to go through several unknown detector scans, and any suspicious foreign objects that appear in this electronic detector scan are not allowed to be brought into the laboratory.

After reading this safety notice, Duke couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, and then he knew how strict the strict security measures were when Professor Andrew said.

Looking at this heavily guarded battle, Duke couldn't help but feel dizzy, thinking that entering this laboratory might have to compete with the security measures for entering the White House. It can be seen that Uncle Sam has really watched this nuclear reaction simulation program very closely.

For ordinary people, in the face of such a situation, it is really useless, trying to bring a USB flash drive like an agent, or get a miniature camera or something, there is no door. When he entered this laboratory, even if he wanted to pass something out, he could only pass on the words he had memorized in his mind.

But for a large application with millions of lines of source code, it would be a dream to rewrite that large application from these few words.

This is also an important reason why Professor Andrew dared to let Duke enter this laboratory to improve the nuclear reaction simulation program, with the current level of earth science and technology, no one would have thought that Duke actually has a super intelligent computer hidden in his body, and it is also a supercomputer with biological activity, so that all detectors are helpless and can record everything they see.

After reading this safety notice, Duke signed a confidentiality agreement in full accordance with the requirements, and then entered the locker room, stripped himself naked, and changed into brand new clothes in the laboratory all over his body.

Of course, Duke didn't need glasses, and after changing his clothes, he was instructed to enter the maintenance lab on an unknown number of floors through a series of security doors.

In front of the maintenance terminal, Duke sees a full-view camera monitoring system, which is distributed at all angles of the maintenance terminal without disguise, and can record all the movements of anyone sitting in front of the terminal computer monitoring screen, and can be seen clearly on the outside monitoring screen, if the maintenance personnel have any bad intentions, the people who are monitoring outside can find it immediately.

Presumably, in that case, the terminal system will immediately disconnect from the host, leaving the ill-intentioned people in vain.

To be honest, such a tight security system is basically invulnerable.

It's a pity that this time I met a demon like Duke.

For the next month or so, Duke seemed to be in retreat, accompanied by Professor Andrew to the laboratory every day, and then sat quietly on the monitor screen most of the time to read the code, Duke activated the image interception function of Kerry's mind, and every page of code was scanned and recorded by Kerry, in this way, millions of lines of code were forcibly passed over and stored in Kerry's storage space.
