Chapter 169: Folk Experts

"As far as I know, there are more than 27,000 federally legally registered academic organizations, and I am afraid that there are data engineers in these organizations, the scope is too large, our time is limited, the threat is imminent, I am afraid there is no time to find a needle in a haystack." The Führer's chief of staff questioned and was glared at by the secretary of state, and if there was a better way, could Townsend have reservations?

After all, the number of registered legal academic organizations is a minority, and the proportion of various organizations in the vast sea is only the tip of the iceberg, and the organizations that Townsend said focus on illegal organizations that have not been registered with the Federation, and even the head of state is a black pot, so it is not surprising that as the chief of staff of the head of state, he is incompetent.

It was impossible for Townsend to depreciate himself and argue with a nominal vase called the Führer's chief of staff, who was talking to someone who could call the shots.

"I suggest you try to keep an eye on non-federally registered academic organizations, old friend, this is no joke, and it's best to get back the former Chief of Intelligence as soon as possible. I heard that the intelligence chief of the empire is in the prime of life, what serious illness can he have? Isn't it just heart disease? Even if he is really sick, in extraordinary times, everything is focused on the overall situation, as long as he can still breathe, he is better than others. ”

The Secretary of State nodded, thoughtful, "I've heard of the academic organizations you mentioned. Even the legal organizations that have been registered by the federation are not strict, and even the identity information of the members is lacking, let alone those secret organizations that are not visible, in addition, these organizations are very exclusive to the official, and it is difficult to find them to help, it is better to find an insider to come forward, is there a good candidate to recommend? ”

Townsend suddenly smiled: "The word of assistance sounds very comfortable, I recommend two people to you, Qiao Nan, the person in charge of the CCA, as a data engineer, this person has mediocre ability and talent, but he is extremely well-connected and well-informed, and with his help, you can make your investigation twice as effective with half the effort." ”

The videoconference ended abruptly, and the NSA quickly began to investigate, including any legal academic organization registered with the United States.

The Intelligence Bureau also provided information on illegal organizations, the list of which was unimaginably large, and I am afraid that the minds of those organizations could not have more information about their members than the Imperial Intelligence Service.

However, most of the academic organizations in the virtual world do not require members to register their real identities, and the explanation of the head of state is tight inside and loose outside, and the investigation can only be conducted in the form of unannounced visits.

Finding someone to help in his name is far more effective than forcing an official question, you must know that the academic organizations in the virtual world are borderless, and no one buys their accounts except for friends.

The list of suspicious was gradually narrowing, and at noon on the third day, rumors of a terrorist threat to the Reich arrived as expected, and the Führer, at the behest of the Secretary of State, remained silent.

This matter cannot be denied, but it cannot be admitted, if it is admitted, it is necessary to take a stand, a strong position can only make things tricky, even if there is a determination to break the boat, there is no need to provoke the terrorists too early, and a weak position is even more impossible, the Augar Empire has never had a precedent for compromise with terrorist organizations, and the current head of state does not want to set this precedent and act as an inglorious pioneer.

"There is no need to be anxious, the initiative is in our hands, and we can admit it at any time, and as long as we declare that the NSA cannot confirm the authenticity of the threat and does not want to cause panic among the people, our people can understand." The secretary of state is still calm under pressure.

Although there is no official process, from the moment the terrorist activity is triggered, a temporary counter-terrorism emergency response team is created, and there is no need to talk about appointments, and everyone knows who the leader is.

The nominal head of the group is naturally the head of state, but the Secretary of State has coordinated everything, and under his full advocacy, the full use of the power of the private sector has become the keynote of this anti-terrorist operation.

Although the powerful faction of the head of the National Security Bureau, General Rahe, and others did not care about this, they dared not speak out, and the list of members of an anti-terrorism team composed of military and civilian experts was still placed on the Führer's desk, and it was approved without any suspense and immediately implemented.

When Qiao Nan submitted the list of experts, he did not forget the core members of CCA.

In the cabin, Lu Lingxue's expression was serious, and she was very secretive about the reason for her sudden return to the imperial capital, in fact, Lu Lingxue didn't know the details, she just received an invitation from Qiao Nan, of course, the reason why she accepted the invitation was because this invitation came from the National Security Bureau, and as a citizen of the Aojia Empire, she was obliged to accept the invitation from the National Security Bureau.

In contrast, Chen Fang knew the inside story very well, and the director of the National Security Bureau was his person, so he insisted on accompanying his fiancée to the ship back to the imperial capital.

From another perspective, it seems that it is not difficult to analyze where terrorists are going to attack.

The Imperial Capital, the economic and political center of the Augar Empire, is also built as a scientific and technological center of the rat's nest, once it suffers a heavy blow, it can be seen immediately, the Imperial Fleet will immediately consider the issue of withdrawing troops, if the terrorists have full confidence in their own strength, the Imperial Capital is definitely the best choice.

The second optional target is the planet where the expeditionary fleet is stationed, which is also immediate, and can bury the empire's millions of troops in an instant, forcibly stopping the imperial capital's aggression.

Chen Fang's relatives are almost all in the imperial capital, and his father-in-law, who favors him and insists on handing over his life's work and his baby daughter, is now sitting on the command ship of the expeditionary fleet, no matter which target it is, Chen Fang needs to guard, he has no choice.

Of course, the terrorists may think differently than he does, but as a son and son-in-law, he can only think like this.

Lu Beiyan is particularly reasonable about this matter, the war has entered the stage of recuperation, and it is of little significance to leave a son-in-law, not to mention that this time on an expedition, the son-in-law is also beautiful enough, and the next step is to keep him in the army, and he handed over the heavy responsibility to his daughter.

"Let me guess why you want to return to the Imperial Capital." The journey was boring, and teasing the beautiful woman became Chen Fang's only pleasure, especially when he knew the hole cards.

"Tell me about it." Lu Lingxue deliberately remained silent.

"This matter may be related to the bad organization you joined, and you refused to take me on the road, judging from this, the person who invited you is most likely a man." Chen Fang tried his best to be ambiguous.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten, is there anything else?" Lu Lingxue had no intention of messing around with him, so she simply admitted it all and watched how he performed.

"My intuition tells me that the man seems to be called Qiao Nan." Chen Fang didn't know what the plan was, so he could only continue, but as everyone knows, his fiancée is a diplomat major.

"Your instincts are amazing, what else?" Lu Lingxue smiled.

"When it comes to that, you don't want to say something to your fiancé?" Chen Fang was depressed and found that even if he held the hole cards in his hand, he couldn't help the woman in front of him, and if she didn't serve as the next secretary of state of the Aojia Empire, it would be a waste.

"You're done talking, what else do you want me to say? Who knows more than the Chief of Intelligence? Even if you want to say it, it's you who come and talk to me. Lu Lingxue struck back and looked at her fiancé playfully.

"I don't understand what you're saying." Chen Fang left dejectedly.

In the ancient city of the crescent, elites from all walks of life appeared.

Because the invited members come from different countries and even different galaxies, they are scattered, and most of the people are lazy, and there is no current consciousness of the enemy, many of them are not citizens of the empire, and the original intention of the invitation is also to meet their peers and enhance exchanges, and General Lahe, who is accustomed to being vigorous and resolute, is particularly annoyed by this, and he repeatedly reminded the Führer that such a large-scale call of civil people is easy for terrorists to know about the Empire's intentions, as long as they are not stupid, they can guess a few points, he even thinks, It is possible for terrorists to mix in with these so-called civilian experts and undermine counter-terrorism operations.

"Then you do your duty and don't let them get involved." The Führer slammed the table and got up from his chair.

So far, most of the clues have come from private figures, and the NSA, on which he should have relied has done nothing. As a Führer did not want this, the situation left him no choice.

In addition, the Secretary of State and the Führer sought to reveal a message that the Augar Empire recognizes, and welcomes law-abiding academic organizations, albeit unaccredited and procedurally illegal.

One is a tough investigation, which has little effect and may cause disgust and rejection in the academic community; One is to turn disadvantages into advantages, fully rely on the strength of the people, and it is not difficult to judge which is better or worse. In the long run, good relations with academic organizations are also beneficial to the Empire's anti-terrorist cause.

"The Aojia Empire is a free and open country, and it is very hopeful to borrow the power of the people, and also hope to recruit talents from the people." Those who have a heart naturally understand the weight of the Secretary of State's words, and this invisible promise is more trustworthy than the charter of the pit chief of the Augar Empire.

It is no wonder that General Rahe complained that it is not simple to rely on private people, but there are advantages and disadvantages, full of risks, and the Secretary of State is not blind to the risks he can think of.

The invited folk experts, although anonymous in the virtual world, simply received three different passwords in order to confirm their identities. But from the moment of appearance, the peripheral data terminal can silently collect the seven characteristics of the person, which are enough to determine a person's identity, and at this point, the identity of the visitor is no longer a secret.

The process of checking the identity is actually the second identity confirmation, while entering the password, the other four data of the human body will be collected, and the data of the database will be checked again, in addition to the correct password, it is necessary to make sure that the person has no criminal record, in order to be released immediately, otherwise, it is necessary to consider the danger index again, what is laughable is that among the experts of the people, the net worth is not so innocent people account for forty percent, which does not include those who have done bad things, but have not been exposed, and it is difficult for people with high IQ to be caught committing crimes.

"A bad guy without knowledge is a hooligan at best, and a bad guy with knowledge is a terrorist once he takes a risk!" In his eyes, all experts who specialize in academia are like terrorists, at least they have the potential to become terrorists, if they are not on official business, according to his meaning, these people cannot be let go, at least they must be controlled first, or one or two spies can be cultivated from them, and these academic organizations must be controlled.

The above security checks are all carried out in secret, even if someone notices, it will not make people feel uncomfortable, after all, the Crescent Ancient City is the political center of the Auga Empire, strict security measures are necessary, and the empire has arranged the anti-terrorism team in the heart of the empire, but also to show the importance of civilian experts, which is a gesture.

In fact, the place of work of the anti-terrorist team is not the heart of the empire, it is on the edge of the ancient city of the crescent, which is the most heavily guarded place of the empire, and even after passing the test of the first two levels, the civilian experts do not come to the place of work, but first go to a forest garden to rest, in Rahe's words, that is, to isolate first.

"Isn't the boss making a bit of a fuss, look at these experts, either old things in their old age, or weak little kids, I bet that even if the guard is removed, they won't be able to climb the six-meter-high wall." Annoyed, Rahe overhears a shrill voice.

Poor fellow, before he could figure out what was going on, he was kicked out by the angry Rah, the glory of this mission is no longer a show, let it fall.

"Old thing, little brat. Do you know what these little kids' toys are? It's germs, it's a nuclear bomb, and it wouldn't be surprising if some of them used food and water to create weapons that could destroy the Crescent City. Even if these people have even one tooth or one bone left, they are all threats! Mention the spirit of the twelve! If anyone dares to be careless and derelict in their duties, don't blame the ruthless military law. "If the Führer allows, Rahe really wants to tear down the bones of these people, knock out their teeth, piece by piece, examine them piece by piece.

"You understand now why I didn't tell you about the invitation. The invitation was initiated by the National Security Bureau, and uninvited people could not get in, and Chen Sangongzi was no exception. Coming to the periphery of the Crescent Ancient City, the people who checked it could be seen from afar, Chen Fang was still unrelenting, with a posture of wanting to catch the rape on the spot, and there was no intention of retreating, Lu Lingxue had to choose a showdown, she didn't want her fiancé to be intercepted and make a fool of herself in public.

"Why don't you doubt that I've been invited?" Chen Fang's calm smile gave people an unfathomable and profound feeling.

"You've been invited?" Lu Lingxue stopped, because it was an urgent invitation issued on the data platform, there was no official invitation letter, only three sixteen-digit passwords, unless the password was issued on the data terminal, she couldn't confirm whether Chen Fang's words were true, but by that time, it was too late.

"Or I'd dare to follow you here? How do I explain to the security guards that I am a family member of the Flower of Empire? In other words, you thought I'd get bored to the point where I'd chase all the way to Crescent City to see your virtual lover? Do you think that in order to pass the identity verification, you can only rely on those three strings of passwords? I searched casually, and found twelve hidden probes, they had already collected my information and put it in the federal database for verification, and now, our actions and conversations are under the surveillance of others, believe it or not? Now, if I make the slightest change in my movements, such as turning around and going back, I will be immediately stopped by the NSA people. However, if the Imperial Flower intercedes for me, or admits directly, I am your fiancé, maybe they can let me go. Chen Fang did not suppress his voice suspiciously, but in the monitored channel, there was a chaotic strange sound.

I should thank Lu Lingxue for her special identity, this murmur did not arouse too much suspicion, but more depression.

"Isn't this the flower of empire? Oh my God, it's as beautiful as a goddess. ”

"Could it be that she is an invited expert, who is the man next to him?"

With the help of advanced equipment, Chen Fang's information was easily transferred out, looking at the Aojia Empire, I couldn't find cleaner information, education, residence, nothing, of course, I couldn't find any stains.

"Could it be that he is a newborn baby?" Indignant voices could be heard in the small space.

"At least we know that this person's surname is Chen, his name is Chen Fang, and he is from the Aojia Empire." Even if Lang Lang said all the names, no one would have imagined that the man standing next to Lu Lingxue was the legendary waste material, the Lu family's fast son-in-law.

Thanks to that serious illness and consistent low-key style, the name Chen Fang and Chen Sangongzi have faded out of people's field of vision for too long, even when the abolition incident was boiling in the imperial capital, people were only talking about Chen Sangongzi and Lu Lingxue, as for the word Chen Fang, it was far less loud than the strong two.

Chen Fang seemed to be able to hear those suspicions, which was why he dared not change his name or change his surname.

Before coming to the data terminal, Lu Lingxue took the lead in entering the password, and then looked at him worriedly, although Chen Fang said a reason, she was still skeptical.

It wasn't until Chen Fang entered two sets of passwords in a row, and the alarm system did not appear unusual, that she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and she even glared at Chen Fang with disgust, since she was also invited, why didn't she say it earlier, causing her to worry along the way. Recently, Chen Fang seems to have become very bored, and he knows that he keeps teasing her, and most of the time it is in vain. It seems that the only joy of life is to embarrass her, and in contrast, she prefers the strange man who has a flickering presumptuousness and uninhibited eyes, full of mystery.

Suddenly, the short alarm woke her up, out of the consideration of not wanting to cause panic, the alarm sound was adjusted to very small, and the anti-terrorist team members who were on full alert still immediately became nervous, looking at the two of them vigilantly, of course, mainly at Chen Fang.

"I'm underestimating." Chen Fang smiled apologetically, but he didn't panic at all, the sixteen-digit password, ordinary people feel dazzled just by looking at it, and it is common for occasional input mistakes, not to mention that the first two sets of passwords are correct, and the anti-terrorist team members will not take immediate action.

Even Lu Lingxue, who was the most nervous, was 100% convinced at this moment that he had missed a moment and made a mistake in input. However, if it is a mistake once, it is difficult to say.

In the past, this was an impossible mistake, however, this time the invited people are extremely dangerous people, including many data masters, not to mention that there is also a master of data division among the terrorists, Townsend is also afraid that someone will break the code, so that the terrorists have a chance, and he can't afford to lose that old face.

For the sake of this old face, Townsend used a lot of brains on the password, especially in the last set of passwords, he dug a big hole with a shameless method, and sure enough, he just put the conceited Chen into it.

He also fought with Townsend once, and the two were familiar with each other, no matter what password he came up with, Chen Fang had the ability to break it in five minutes, but unfortunately he was too conceited, why not try it remotely first?

Now, there are at least hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at him, he can only test on the data terminal, and he can only test one set of possibilities at a time, more than three times, he will be taken down by the wolf-like counter-terrorism elites on the spot, although with the identity of Chen Sangongzi, he will not be punished on the spot, but he can't afford to lose that person.

"It's too long, can I use the computer? Passwords are stored on it. Chen Fang pretended to be afraid.

There was such a mentally retarded problem, and the soldiers who were still on high alert couldn't help laughing. "Earlier, we don't stipulate that you can't look at the terminal when you enter the password."

Although General Lahe's defense was tight, it was very well disguised, and it was not visible from the outside at all, and the people who came before were not very nervous, and suddenly there was such a stupid boy as Chen Fang, who was so scared that he didn't even dare to look at the data terminal, of course, they couldn't help laughing.

Unless you're a data scientist, how many people can remember more than ten digits of three passwords at once? Many of the people in front of them are entering passwords one by one for the data terminal.

And this kind of thing? Chen Fang couldn't help sweating, this is outrageous, the use of data terminals is allowed, for data engineers, there is still a password that can't be solved? Should I say, is it necessary to set a password?

You know, even if the average data engineer has the ability to unlock the password, it is not something that can be done in a few minutes, not to mention the password system that Townsend made, besides, hundreds of pairs of eyes are staring at it, even if you are a layman, you can see whether you are calling up the password from the terminal, or trying to crack the password, in fact, there is a data division next to the data terminal.

It's just that when he saw Chen Fang's data terminal, he fell into confusion on the spot.

This black, ugly black box seems to be a product from ten years ago, the style is very simple, the function is so simple that it can't be simpler, but the use is so complicated that it can't be more complicated, the new terminal can be solved by pressing the keyboard once, and it is necessary to enter six or seven instructions on this machine.

This is a dilemma,It stands to reason that a good terminal is almost all of the data division,So,The data division must spare no expense,Get yourself a powerful terminal,This terminal is obviously outdated,But from another aspect,This model is by no means the type that rookies like,His function is too simple,In order to pursue the concept of simplicity,Even the image is not available at first,The original screen can only display numbers,This also does not meet the needs of rookies。

This is an outdated for a long time, it should be said that it has been eliminated, very lame professional terminal, the other party finally made a difficult judgment, before his vigilance rose to the need to interrogate the owner of the terminal, Chen Fang ended the operation.

As a set of numbers jumped into view, the man actually sighed, it turned out to be a false alarm, no one could crack the password in such a short time, especially in his heart, Dr. Townsend's password system is almost an uncrackable existence.

Unlike him, seeing the numbers on the screen, Chen Fang also had a strong urge to scold.
