Chapter 201: The Back Door
Chapter 201: The Back Door
"This is the external access road, and the working channel is two lines. Terrorists can get information to the NSA, they can get it to the rat's den, and it's much simpler. We have two hundred inner lanes, don't worry. Dr. Townsend explained in time, but he was secretly frightened. It was originally thought that the terrorists would only be able to act after taking action in the rat den, but now it seems that the terrorists have not been idle for a moment.
"Ask him, any more tips?" Chen Fang stood next to the screen and said to Yang Wei.
"This is not an instant communication, and the other party may have left a long time ago and will not receive your message." Yang Wei still entered the information in confusion.
"He can see it." Chen Fang stared at the screen.
Duh, a timely piece of information confirmed Chen Fang's judgment.
"You'll get a fourth hint in no time, don't be scared, little one, the game has just begun."
At the same time, eighteen control platforms sounded the alarm at the same time, including the star that had just been cut off, and the terrorists were obviously prepared, and as soon as they struck, they thundered and did not give any respite.
There is no need for Chen Fang to give orders, the crisp sound of tapping on the data board suddenly sounded, the members of the working group are not rookies, before receiving the order, they have their own way to fight, which is exactly what Chen Fang wants to see.
Chen Fang was indifferent, as if admiring the cheerful crisp sound.
"!" The first news of the loss came from the corner by the door, followed by a snap, and just by hearing, you could tell that someone had smashed a fist on the data board.
"I'm sorry." A middle-aged woman beside her removed her hand from the data board in frustration.
In less than five minutes, the first confrontation between the Working Group and the terrorists was a complete failure. The news of the loss came one after another, and the artificial stars were lit up one by one. Only Yang Wei and the other six people are still holding on, but everyone can see that it is only a matter of time before they are lost.
"Don't care." Chen Fang smiled, that is, he didn't mean to make a move, and he didn't seem to be thinking, in fact, even if he made a move, he might not be much stronger than his subordinates.
The sharpness of terrorists has been taught by Chen in the Crescent Ancient City, and although he lost at this moment, he had a feeling of expectation and was not flustered.
In the blink of an eye, the terrorists controlled eleven stars, and before they regained control, it was extremely difficult, how could Chen Fang expect his subordinates to lose control in less than five minutes.
"All stars that lose control will carry out the reverse command and increase the power of the artificial star." Chen Fang gave the order two minutes later.
"To what extent?" Yang Wei was the penultimate out, and he worked hard to fulfill his promise, but unfortunately his skills were not as good as others.
"Until it explodes." Chen Fang replied without thinking.
"With super load work, the lifespan of artificial stars can last for about seven to eleven hours, and at that time, the surface temperature of the imperial capital will rise to fifty-seven to sixty-nine degrees, which will not cause damage to the protective shield, but about 17 percent of civilian facilities will be damaged." The experts at the rat den quickly gave a detailed analysis and provided another way to cut into the main program of artificial stars.
The director of national security and others are already busy.
"Level 1 Alert! Citizens who go out seek shelter nearby, residents at home keep their doors and windows closed, and all public facilities, as well as civilian facilities, are open to pedestrians free of charge. ”
In the thrilling three hours, the police, hospitals, traffic, and all links of the emergency report smashed over like a hailstone. The most stressful is the healthcare system, where the influx of patients quickly overcrowds hospitals, with a wide variety of ailments and much the same cause, high temperatures.
The biggest headache is electricity, and anyone knows that the current emergency measures are based on normal power supply, and if the power supply is stopped, the disaster will be devastating.
For its part, the C.I.A. reported the number of heat-related deaths for the fourth time, an average of once every five minutes.
The ever-refreshing numbers tug at everyone's heartbeat.
The surface temperature is still within the range that the human body can bear, but the disaster has really happened, to explain in the words of poison, everyone's physique is different, and the discomfort caused by high temperature can induce a variety of diseases. At the critical point where the human body can endure, every degree of temperature increase means mass death.
What's worse is the panic, from the monitoring system can be seen, at least a small half of the pedestrians are not as required by the alarm, looking for shelter in the nearest building, the residents of the imperial capital who are used to living a comfortable life would rather stay in their cars, or rush home as soon as possible, they drive much faster than usual, continuous accidents have completely blocked the traffic, now, they can only stay in the car to complain, and more and more impatient.
The surface temperature is still rising, and the imperial capital decisively sent special forces to help evacuate the traffic and transport the trapped people to safety, not only the National Security Bureau, but also some of the subordinates on standby were also ordered to carry out operations to assist in the rescue.
"Everything that can be adjusted has been transferred out." The director of national security calmly put down the communicator, pushed the rest of the work to his subordinates, and then expressed his gratitude to Bruce and Lach. The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent. The disaster has just begun, and the rescue must not affect the normal anti-terrorist work, and they must have the cards in their hands.
"When I tried my best, the disaster continued, and I could only look at the ever-refreshing death numbers in a daze, just like you." When General Rach uttered this phrase ten years ago, he was heavily attacked. After the disaster, people began to reflect, and they were all impressed by the old man's frankness.
A hero who has repeatedly defeated terrorist organizations and has made outstanding achievements, saying such things does not mean that he is incompetent, this is the honesty of a person in a higher position, and the realization that can only be possessed in a high position.
The old guys are by no means lacking in wisdom, although all the chaos comes from Chen Fang's decision, they did not complain, let alone point fingers at the working group, just dealt with the matter in obscurity, in the past three hours, the National Security Bureau has attacked no less than 100 times according to the clues left by terrorists on the virtual platform, as well as intelligence from various channels, although each time it is empty, but what should be done is still to be done, they all know a truth, this is a contest in the field of data divisions, laymen can't intervene, It can only be assisted, and the layman leads the insider, and it is bound to fail!
"I'm going to talk to an expert who has been involved in the transformation of artificial stars, do you know who is more suitable to turn to?" Chen Fang is still not used to dealing with the director of national security and others, and took the initiative to find Bruce, the person with the highest title may not be the most talented, but who is talented, who is fishing in troubled waters, and newcomers can't find the way for a while.
"Childe, there is someone you might as well meet." Bruce lowered his voice and whispered a few words.
"Bring him here." I don't know when, the data terminal in front of Chen Fang quietly started to work.
Moments later, an expert from the rat den was brought to Chen Fang. In front of Chen Fang.
"You've been involved in six programmatic transformations of artificial stars." Chen Fang casually glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was about forty years old and had an obscene appearance. His name is Li De, and he has no hope of getting ahead just by virtue of this appearance, and according to Bruce's introduction, this person's character is also problematic.
"Yes." Li De was a little listless at first, but the moment he stepped into the room, Chen Fang could clearly see his excitement.
"You tampered with the operation of artificial stars, and the CIA detected it, stripped of all qualifications, and is still being monitored." Chen Fang said his resume word for word, and then did not move, observing his reflection.
"I warned in advance that Stellar's program is full of loopholes, and blindly patching it has little effect, and they don't want to listen to it, so I have to make this decision." Li De's witty justification.
"So, you just deliberately left a few loopholes so that you can make the artificial star safe?" Chen Fang casually began to ask.
"At least it will make them more vigilant, and I did." Not to be outdone, Li De was not to be outdone.
"Don't say it so noblely, you are just complaining about Huai Cai, and you want to take the opportunity to attract the attention of others, but unfortunately it is self-defeating, things are a little different from the development you expect, and the senior management has not noticed your ability, but is alert to your restlessness, so,
The artificial star is still lit, and you are imprisoned after being dismissed. If you hadn't thought you were still valuable, you wouldn't have been monitored and thrown into jail a long time ago. After a false shot, Chen Fang suddenly attacked.
"I admit it, but I'm just making suggestions, it's my responsibility as a scholar, and besides, I didn't take advantage of the loopholes to do anything out of the ordinary, and it would be unfair for the NSA to treat me like this." Li De shouted aggrieved, when he was monitored, he no longer waited for the opportunity, when he was found, he realized that the opportunity had come, if he couldn't seize it in time, he could only be in the cage but survived, and confided in the rapist or thief about his grievances.
"Anyway, you did something you shouldn't have done. Just because you didn't exploit those vulnerabilities doesn't mean terrorists won't take advantage of them. I might as well reveal to you, as you expected, that terrorists are attacking artificial stars, maybe they are taking advantage of the loopholes you have left, maybe the loopholes you have left have led to the deaths of thousands of people, and now you dare to say that you are innocent? Chen asked loudly.
Torture suspects is the CIA's forte, however, Bruce, an expert, also admires Chen Fang's methods, and if this young man is not his master, he will inevitably be drawn into his service.
"It can't be." has not yet caused substantial damage, which is the reason why Li De has no fear, but now, even this life-saving straw has been lost, and if the imperial side fails to fight terrorism, it will inevitably anger him, an unlucky ghost who has no identity and is arrogant, and the young man in front of him is already doing this.
"Give me half an hour, and I can fix all the bugs and make the artificial star program flawless." Li De seemed to be taking an oath, and it was like praying, praying for a chance to atone for his sins.
"Invulnerable? Why are you? I've never heard of an impeccable program, it's just a noob to an antivirus developer, how dare you fool me, the only expert who can give you a way out? Chen Fang laughed and teased.
"I don't dare to hope to atone for my sins, you at least let me do something, whether it's for the empire or for myself." Li De begged plaintively.
"I don't like to hear nonsense about dedication, atonement, etc., I don't need an infallible program, tell me all the loopholes you left and know about, I'll fight for a way to live for you, it's a deal, you may get more than that, but don't expect too much until I'm sure your information will come in handy." Chen Fang was reluctant to go around in circles, and bluntly prescribed conditions.
"Can you call the shots?" Li De, who suddenly saw hope in a desperate situation, couldn't believe it, why didn't this young man want a solution as long as he had loopholes? If he hadn't been at the heart of the rat's den, if he hadn't seen a few high-ranking bureaucrats with his own eyes, he would not have believed that the young man in front of him was the head of the anti-terrorism team, and Chen Fang's request was more like a terrorist.
Of course, Chen Fang can prove it, however, Li De may sniff out his breath and prescribe more excessive conditions, such as pardon, people like Li De cannot be pardoned, either retained or monitored, Chen Fang doesn't want to make trouble for himself, and he doesn't want to negotiate terms with anyone, so in the face of Li De's questioning, he makes a look of listening and respecting.
After holding on for less than three minutes, Li De lowered his head, and according to his explanation, Chen found what he wanted in a private space.
"Well done." Bruce secretly praised in his heart, the National Security Bureau has not tortured this person, but unfortunately there is nothing to gain from asking and asking, the reason is very simple, Li De still has some ability, and the loopholes that are arranged are extremely difficult to be detected, even if he is perceived, he cannot conclude that it is his masterpiece, as Chen Fang said, there is no impeccable program in the world, he can completely push it clean. In that case, why confess other loopholes and aggravate the crime?
The unexpected gain made Chen Fang overjoyed, strictly speaking, what Li De left behind was not a loophole, but a back door in the insider's words, from a professional point of view, the two are worlds apart, loopholes refer to the security flaws in the program, which are easy to be exploited. The backdoor is purely a port that the developer deliberately leaves for himself, and it only takes a preset command to take back control in a matter of moments.
"Your little life has been picked up." With Chen Fang's ability, he can naturally see the authenticity of the instructions.
"That's true." Handed over the last bargaining chip, Li De seemed to have lost all hope, fell into the bottomless abyss, the dawn, but appeared at the most desperate moment, and the authenticity was inevitably doubtful.
"I don't care about your fate, I will do what I say." Chen Fang lightly threw down a promise and signaled to the guards that he could take this person out.
"What if you get the information about these vulnerabilities and still lose to the terrorists, I mean, I'm willing to stay, even if it's to give you advice." Given Chen's outstanding questioning, it is clear that Mr. Li did not regard him as a scholar, and thought that he was an official of the CIA or the National Security Agency.
"Defeat to terrorists is my incompetence, it has nothing to do with you, no matter whether the anti-terrorist operation succeeds or fails, your information is correct and you can live." Chen Fang waved his hand and walked towards Dr. Townsend.
"Boy, in a person's life, there are only one or two opportunities to decide fate, and you seized it." Bruce explained meaningfully to Li De that back then, he didn't seize an opportunity to have today's prestige, otherwise, he would have chosen a remote planet to retire at this time, and he was ashamed to say that this only opportunity was brought by his son.
Li De was no longer silent, his flickering eyes seemed to be thinking, the director of the CIA would not talk nonsense, nor would he say too bluntly,
He needs to seriously analyze the off-string sounds.
"Oh my God, that's seven chances to turn the tables around." Dr. Townsend exclaimed in surprise, with these chips, victory in this confrontation no longer seemed to be slim, as if he could reach out and touch it.
Jiang Qing and the others came over when they heard the news, since the beginning of the operation, all the news has been frustrating, and they need a little good news to soothe their tired hearts.
"While Leeder's motives may not be glamorous, he did leave behind a valuable legacy, leaving behind seven loopholes that would allow us to take back control of the artificial star from the terrorists seven times." Dr. Townsend was absolutely sure that a man-made backdoor would be extremely difficult to detect, and that even if a terrorist were to suspect it, it would be impossible to do such a time-consuming stupidity.
"In the final analysis, we still have to rely on the strength of the third prince, if the skills are not as good as others, control will still be taken away by terrorists, and it will not be good for us to delay for a long time." General Rahe was not optimistic about this.
"Boy, don't hide it, look at your calmness, you must be in your chest, no one present is an outsider, say it and let us listen, don't you understand alone, others are worried, maybe we can help." Dr. Townsend didn't care about his image, and when he counted Chen Fang, he rolled his eyes, and all the onlookers were secretly amused.
"That's true, the most terrible thing is the continuous heat, it is impossible for the terrorists not to see our intentions, they are not in a hurry to take back control of the star, not because of lack of skills, because there is no need, what I am doing now is exactly what he wants to do. For the data master, the trick used once will no longer work, we all cherish the chips in our hands, and never be easily exposed until the time of need, once the surface temperature rises to the level he wants, he will definitely snatch control from our hands, and that is the time of the rush, we must make sure that the star is always in a state of overload, maybe an hour or two, maybe six or seven hours, depending on how confident the terrorist is. With these loopholes, we were able to wrest control from terrorists seven times without much effort. Chen Fang said the mystery unhurriedly.
"If the terrorists had moved seven hours earlier, wouldn't our chances of victory be slim?" General Rach was not without a worried reminder that it seemed that in the first encounter, the best performance of the working group did not exceed ten minutes.
"You're a layman, it's much easier to defend control than to seize it, I bet that if this kid makes a move, it won't be a problem to survive thirty minutes, the two sides are evenly matched, and it's not easy to take control, besides, the same method can only be used once, and terrorists can only use it longer than once." In fact, in a situation where the two sides are evenly matched, it is not a simple matter to snatch control seven times in a row, and Dr. Townsend has competed with Chen Fang, asking himself if he has this ability, and it is almost impossible, even if the terrorists are better than him, I am afraid that they may not be able to succeed.
Dr. Townsend's explanation not only reassured everyone, but also gave the old guys a better understanding of Chen Fang.
Since entering the battle, the working group has always been at a disadvantage, even Rah thinks that the chances of winning are slim, who knows that this kid quietly occupies the advantage, you know, young people are not a few, the most common problem is impetuous, Chen Fang is a young age, holding a hole card in his hand can still show weakness, this ability is rare.
After the initial chaos, the situation gradually stabilized, as can be seen from the video, there is no trace of pedestrians on the streets of the imperial capital, all the buildings are crammed with people, the power grid still remains stable, and the assertion of experts can basically be trusted, when the surface temperature exceeds 70 degrees, the power grid can still work stably.
From the power station to thousands of households, all links can withstand the high temperature of more than 80 degrees, God knows how luxurious this is, and I don't see any practical effect, when the National Security Bureau proposed this bill, it was almost drowned by the spitting stars, but fortunately it was reluctantly passed with the support of five big families behind the scenes, after all, the power of the big families also lives in the imperial capital, and they don't care about money, safety is more important than anything else. Now, those who have attacked the bill are hiding in buildings like rats, enjoying the security that comes with this bill.
