“…… Improve your firewall now and be sure to find out what happened to this computer virus attack! ”
"A telegram has been sent from Pennsylvania indicating that their normal communications have been interrupted......"
"Determine network communications within the army! Shut down the civil network interface ......"
"The stock exchange market is paralyzed, and now we are increasing our losses in the tens of millions of dollars every minute!!"
In the Pentagon conference room, a young colonel officer in a crisp military uniform sat at the top of the room, surrounded by several Defense Department officials who were babbling about the current situation.
"Colonel Robert, this virus attack reminds us of the one in 1995, you know, that cyber attack almost made us the sinners who started a nuclear war!!" A middle-aged civilian official said earnestly to the colonel, this young colonel is the head of the American "Warrior Program", Robert Brewster.
"It's different, after that Cybertin incident, we've completely redesigned the military's network, and now the whole system is divided into three completely separate parts, and no matter what the attack, it's impossible to control our entire network at once." Robert Brewster shook his head and said.
With that, Robert Brewster stood up and turned on the giant screen in the middle of the conference room, on which was a map of the world, only to see that countless red dots had spread across the map, and more and more.
"Now this virus is only spreading on civilian networks for the time being, but it has already caused significant economic losses, and, according to the information we have gathered so far, this virus has spread from the "Genesis" online game! I've set out to track down the actual operators of Genesis, but all I've been able to find are shell companies. Robert said.
"Now this virus is just collecting user information and causing network paralysis, and I still don't know what the real purpose is." An official said.
"Isn't it enough to collect user information? Do you know how many users of Genesis are? Even I'm a fan of this damn online game!! An officer in his forties angrily hammered the table.
"Now the Secretary of Defense has asked us to get our cyber security department to take action to eliminate this global computer virus attack on the premise of ensuring that the military's network can operate normally. This department is part of our 'Warrior Program'! Another said.
"We have already done it, and not only that, we have cooperated with the cybersecurity departments of China, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany and other countries, but with little success, we can't even find the source of the spread of the virus. This virus appeared almost simultaneously all over the world, and as soon as you installed Genesis, you will immediately become infected with the virus. Robert Brewster replied a little tiredly.
"Technically, what is the reason why the source of the virus cannot be found?" An observer from the military looked at the screen and asked seriously.
"Calculate the speed. This virus has been replicating itself and even evolving itself at an alarming rate, and although we have used national supercomputers to assist in computing, in the final analysis, it is still our technicians who use these computers. They can't keep up with the rhythm of the virus, which changes tens of thousands of times per second, and the shape of the virus is changing all the time, and we can't find the prototype of the virus, and we can't analyze the virus. Robert Brewster's face was a little ugly.
"Why not let the computer do this analysis automatically?" The military observer continued to ask.
"Because this analysis requires independent judgment and adaptation to changes in the computer virus, these tasks determine that the computer cannot do it automatically." Another technician with glasses answered in Robert's place.
"If I'm not mistaken, the 'Warrior Project' includes an artificial intelligence research and development project, I wonder if the project that swallows tens of billions of dollars a year has tangible results?" An inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of the military observer's lips and continued: "I know that this project is top secret, but now that the Secretary of Defense is on his way to the White House, he will report back to the president in person." And before leaving, Your Excellency must have given you relevant instructions, right? ”
"Your Excellency did not directly ask me to solve the problem in this way, if artificial intelligence is activated, then it is inevitable that our military's network will be connected with the civilian network, and this virus may also invade our military's network! The consequences are unimaginable! Robert Brewster snapped.
"It's your problem, Colonel, and my purpose is just how to fix this computer virus." The military observer stood up, took off his sunglasses, stared at Robert with triangular eyes, and said word by word: "Also, if we talk about war, then now we are already at war." At least I can't think of anything else that could have caused us such an astonishing loss! ”
With that, the military observer unceremoniously turned around and left the conference room.
"Colonel?" An assistant looked at Robert Brewster, who was in a daze, and asked in a whisper.
"In Project Warrior, we did design an artificial intelligence that exists as the command center for those TS-300 artificial super soldiers, and the purpose of the Ministry of Defense is to build a team that is entirely composed of computers. There is no pity, no feelings, only tasks...... It is a perfect tool for the state. Robert Brewster said.
"I think we should start this artificial intelligence and let it assist our technicians in fighting this computer virus." An official whispered.
"And then? What if it fails? If this artificial intelligence is invaded by a virus, then have you thought about the consequences? Robert asked rhetorically.
"We can cut off this AI from the rest of the military's network, and then connect it to the civilian network separately, which should avoid the danger of the military's network being compromised." "It's just that in the process, we need to shut down the TS-300s that are being tested, because if we do, they will lose unified control." ”
Colonel Robert Brewster pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head and said, "So be it!" Turn off the TS-300 and seal them all, disconnect the AI from the military network, and let the AI destroy the computer virus! ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at the people who had taken the order and started to get busy, and sighed imperceptibly.
……
At the entrance of the Pentagon, Hayden walked in with a staff member, showed the guard the FBI director's ID, and was cleared.
"After all, the FBI and the Department of Defense belong to different systems, and I am still more sensitive to come in at this time, so I can only help you here. Now that the computer virus is raging, it should be a conspiracy of Skynet, can you handle it? Hayden whispered.
"Big deal, destroy this place." A blue light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the staff who was with him, and the voice he spoke in a voice that was, Christina!
