The two chatted all the way and walked into the large and spacious conference room.

At this time, there were creatures of various races sitting in the conference room. They were all mechanics who came from all over the world. The lowest were natural disaster grade. There were also several Transcendent A Grade mechanics here.

The empire's "Illusion God" Kant, "Ship King" Maxirol, "Quantum Demon" Judith; the ethereal Sun Hunter, "Mechanical Disaster" Francisco; the glorious "Mechanical Queen" Maul

Nissa, "Guardian" Rama, and "Lone Walker" Jack Gonitz who was just released by Han Xiao not long ago.

Some of them are not virtual experts, but as Transcendent A Grade mechanics, they have also made certain achievements in the field of virtual information, at least better than the natural disaster grade ones.

In order to deal with the intelligent plague, the three major civilizations have invited well-known experts from various star fields to work together this time. It can be said to be a grand gathering of mechanics from all over the universe. It is an unprecedented gathering of talents and big bosses.

As soon as Han Xiao and Manison walked in, everyone present gasped, their eyes focused on the two of them, and emotions such as admiration, awe, etc. appeared on their faces.

In today's machinist world, Manison is recognized as the pinnacle, and Black Star's rise is fierce. It has achieved a brilliant record not long ago, coupled with the responsibility of serving as the vice president of the Transcendent A Grade Association, in the eyes of most people, it is second only to

Yu Manison ranks second in the ranking of Transcendent A Grade mechanics.

Seeing the two people walking in side by side, many mechanics couldn't help but feel as excited as meeting their idols.

"Hey, they're all here."

The Transcendent A Grade mechanics were all in the first row. Han Xiao said hello to Kant and other imperial allies, and then turned his head towards the area where the Radiance and Ethereal Transcendent A Grade allies were located, and glanced at them.

——Well, it’s confirmed, basically all of them were beaten by me.

Sensing the ridicule in Han Xiao's eyes, except for the Sunhunter, the other Glory and Void mechanics naturally looked away, not wanting to look at Black Star.

Especially Jack Goenitz, who had been in prison and was released not long ago, quickly turned his head to look at the ceiling, pretending to be in a daze.

"Tsk, don't be shy. We are all members of the same association now. Why are you so cold and cold and don't even say hello?"

Han Xiao bent down and hugged everyone's shoulders with a smile. Everyone's body froze, and they nodded helplessly and reluctantly shouted "Vice President".

Ah, I feel comfortable.

Han Xiao was satisfied, patted everyone on the shoulders vigorously, sat down in the empty seat next to Lao Maitou, and took Kant beside him to discuss the experience of transformation in a serious manner.

After a while, everyone gathered, and Sidrun strode into the room and stood on the conference podium. The whispers in the conference room quickly disappeared, and everyone looked up at him.

Sidrun cleared his throat and spoke in a deep voice:

"Some of the people below know me, and some of them don't. Let me introduce myself. I am Siddrun, the director of the Radiance Federation's supervisory department. All of you here are top mechanics in the universe. Everyone accepts the invitation. The goal is to eliminate the virtual

The mutiny virus, the situation is urgent now, so I won’t talk nonsense, I will directly introduce the current situation."

With that said, Sidrun summoned the virtual screen, which showed the current infection range of the Star Territory, and said seriously:

"Virtual mutiny virus is a new type of quantum network virus technology with a very high technical level and amazing penetration into normal firewalls. After the information packet is successfully penetrated, it will be disguised as normal data because there are too many variations in the shell key data of the information packet.

, the degree of concealment is extremely high. Once a node is successfully penetrated, the difficulty of scanning will be greatly increased, which consumes a lot of computing power.

Moreover, each information packet of the virtual renegade virus is a source of infection, constantly replicating itself, leading to repeated infections, so conventional methods are too inefficient. Currently we are analyzing the structural coding of the information packets and plan to reverse-engineer three special methods for the virtual renegade virus.

Programs are used for scanning, anti-virus and firewall respectively. However, the encoding of this virus is very different from the current mainstream quantum network technology, and the analysis is very difficult and the progress is slow..."

Hearing this, everyone here nodded. This is the normal procedure for dealing with virtual viruses.

There are many virtual mechanics in the universe. Every once in a while, various new viruses will appear on the quantum network, and various firewalls must be constantly updated and iterated. Antivirus in the virtual field is quite similar to medicine, both of which are to detect illnesses (scans) and diagnose illnesses.

(Lock abnormal data), perform treatment (antivirus), and finally prevent recurrence, produce antibodies and vaccines (update firewall).

So many mechanics are like medical experts from all over the world, working together to study a new infectious disease.

Sidrun said in a heavy tone: "Currently, the virtual rebellion virus is still in the incubation period. We have intercepted many virus information packets that have not completely self-destructed. After interpreting the contents, we have discovered the triggering mechanism of the virus outbreak. The situation is not optimistic.

According to algorithm analysis, the virtual rebel virus has sixteen trigger logics, among which the four most difficult ones are: first, when the number of virus-infected nodes reaches a certain scale, the virus will automatically break out; second, if the virus is cleared on a large scale, it will

will break out in advance; third, once the infection rate of the virus is lower than a certain standard line, or the infection is repeated for a long time without penetrating new nodes, the virus will break out; fourth, if a single virus information packet is disconnected and blocked in a node, it will be blocked.

If the time is too long, it will explode on its own..."

While listening to Sidrun's introduction, Han Xiao looked at the information on the screen and his heart moved.

The virus will not sit still and wait to die. These triggering mechanisms adapt to various situations... There are too many infected nodes, and it breaks out! It is killed on a large scale, and it breaks out! The infection efficiency is contained, and it breaks out!

The [Intelligent Plague] mission prompts the existence of the virus core, so most of the triggering mechanisms, including these three, should be controlled by the virus core - only the virus core can coordinate the overall infection trend. Each information package is like

bomb, while the core of the virus is the remote control.

Disconnecting the network can cut off the connection between the information packet and the virus core. However, the fourth trigger mechanism introduced by Sidrun is to prevent this situation... Even without the virus core remote control, the infected node and other nodes will have no information for a long time.

interaction, the information packet will detonate itself, like a time bomb, making it difficult to isolate and imprison the virus.

At present, the three major civilizations have only cut off the connection between the ancient star desert and other star fields to prevent external leaks. However, the network within the star field has not been cut off, retaining a few public base stations and maintaining star field-level quantum network channels.

It is unrealistic to completely cut off the Internet. Cutting off the public link of each node is equivalent to making oneself blind. In this way, the three major civilizations cannot monitor the infection situation, let alone count the number of infected bodies. It is impossible to send fleets across the starry sky inch by inch.

Finding a needle in a haystack is not only inefficient, but also many fish will slip through the net.

Therefore, only by developing a three-piece set of anti-virus programs can we solve the problem once and for all.

"...The situation is so serious. We are racing against time against the virus, delaying the outbreak of the virus while speeding up research and development. During this period, mechanical rebellion may occur at any time. We can only try to control it as much as possible, and everyone must be mentally prepared.

Prepare."

Sidrun looked around the audience, his face extremely serious, and emphasized sternly:

"Therefore, we must block the virus in the ancient star desert and must not let it leak to the outside world. Otherwise, the crisis will be out of control and evolve into a disaster across the universe. All life will be devastated, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"

After the words fell, the atmosphere in the whole place was solemn, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Thinking of the seriousness of the consequences, many mechanics present had equally serious expressions and felt great pressure. It can be said that the work progress of these experts directly determines the number of casualties in the universe. If they succeed, they will be the heroes who have explored the universe. If something happens

If a mistake is made, countless people will die.

"Is the situation so bad..."

Han Xiao pondered.

Even the three major civilizations felt a headache. He couldn't help but be curious about which civilization the virtual rebellion virus technology came from and who created this technology.

Suddenly, Han Xiao's eyes lit up slightly.

'By the way, using [Bold Explorer], you may be able to see the origin of the virus...'

…

After the brief meeting, Sidrun led a group of people to the virus research department.

On the way, Han Xiao and Manison walked ahead, entering the quantum network perspective and chatting privately in their minds.

"You came earlier than me. Is it very difficult to analyze this virus?"

"It comes from an unknown civilization. The encoding method has never been seen before. It is very difficult to decipher. And due to the self-destruction mechanism, the information packets we get are always incomplete." Manison shook his head. "With our strength, we can easily clear it.

Information package, but the current task is to create a three-piece antivirus suite that can also be used by ordinary people. It lacks the computing power bonus of advanced intelligence, so the requirements are very demanding."

Han Xiao nodded, his eyes flashing, "I don't think you really want to create a dedicated anti-virus program so quickly."

Manison glanced at him and did not answer directly, but said slowly: "This virus technology can be weaponized, using the information package as a carrier, just like a missile head, and the content inside is reprogrammed, such as replacing

To seize control of machinery, with the help of the highly contagious nature of this virus, the virtual mechanic's intrusion capabilities can be raised to an astonishing level..."

Hearing this, Han Xiao also understood Manison’s plan.

This guy really wants to solve the disaster and make great achievements, but the prerequisite is to thoroughly research virus technology. And in order to ensure the deterrence of this technology, he actually doesn't want to create a particularly easy-to-use dedicated anti-virus program. It is best to keep it.

Next little loophole.

Han Xiao secretly cursed the old thief, narrowed his eyes and said: "If you can control the core data of the virus and obtain the source code, then you can completely analyze this technology."

"That's right." Manison nodded and turned to look behind him, "Not only you and me, but all the Transcendent A Grade mechanics present, as well as the three major civilizations, all want to get the virus core."

All the way to the R&D department, there is a sea of ​​people here, and a large number of researchers work here day and night to decipher the virtual rebellion virus.

Everyone was assigned tasks and started working immediately.

Some people are responsible for scientific research, while others are responsible for field work, collecting infected nodes outside, and serving as inspectors of the three major civilizations to check how other civilizations handle infected bodies.

Transcendent A Grade mechanics act as experts and consultants, and they all stay at the headquarters to conduct research, with their own dedicated rooms.

Walking into the room with his legion subordinates, Han Xiao was given three information packets, with the integrity levels being 91%, 82%, and 75% respectively. This was already the least damaged batch.

Han Xiao called out Phillip and analyzed the information packets one by one according to a part of the encoding table currently deciphered.

He is a Transcendent A Grade mechanic and is not afraid of his own smart phone being infected. This kind of information package cannot break through his data defense line.

While Philip was working at Hey Hey Hey, Han Xiao entered the quantum network field of vision, grabbed an information packet in his hand, and silently activated the skill [Bold Explorer]...

…

At the same time, a summit meeting was being held on the home planet of the Star Arc Civilization. Many high-level officials were discussing loudly and the crowd was excited.

"Now the three major civilizations have sealed off the ancient star desert, and disaster relief is their top priority. However, they may also take the opportunity to deal with the super star cluster civilization in this star field. In the name of checking infected nodes, they ask us to open the internal database, and even take advantage of the news blockade.

Attack us!"

"This is impossible. The three major civilizations will not be so stupid. If they take this opportunity to attack those of us civilizations who cooperate with his actions, it will destroy their credibility and force us to die."

"But it is possible to force us to open the database. If we refuse to accept it, after solving the disaster, the three major civilizations will have a lot of room for maneuver. Whether it is framing the blame or political accountability, they can attack the super star cluster civilization in the ancient star desert.

, it can even be used as an excuse to attack the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance."

"We cannot place our hopes on the integrity of the three major civilizations. We must leave a way out and prepare chips in advance."
