839, Warrior Plan

United States, Virginia, Arlington County, Pentagon.

"...Immediately improve the firewall and be sure to find out what happened with this computer virus attack!"

"Pennsylvania sent a telegram stating that their normal communications have been interrupted..."

"Determine the network communication within the military! Close the civilian network interface..."

"The stock trading 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 wearing a crisp military uniform was sitting at the head of the conference room. Several Department of Defense officials around him were busy reporting on 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 of launching a nuclear war!!" A middle-aged civilian official said to the colonel in a serious voice,

This young colonel is surprisingly the head of the American "Warrior Project", Robert Brewster.

"The situation is different. After the Cyberdine incident, we have completely redesigned the military network. Now the entire system is divided into three completely independent parts. No matter what attack, it is impossible to control our entire network at once.

." Robert Brewster shook his head and said.

After saying that, Robert Brewster stood up and turned on the giant screen in the middle of the conference room. There was a map of the world on it, and he saw that countless red dots had spread on the map, and there were more and more of them.

"Right now, this virus is only spreading on civilian networks, but it has already caused significant economic losses. And, according to the information we have collected so far, this virus spread from the "Genesis" online game! I have started sending

People tried to track down the actual operator of "Genesis", but all they could find were shell companies," Robert said.

"Right now, this virus is just constantly collecting user information and causing network paralysis. We still don't know what its real purpose is," an official said.

"Isn't it enough to collect user information? Do you know how many users there are in "Genesis"? Even I am a player of this damn online game!!" An officer in his forties hammered the table angrily.

"Now the Secretary of Defense requires us to let our network security department take action to eliminate this global computer virus attack on the premise of ensuring that the military network can operate normally. This department is a subordinate department of our "Warrior Plan", right?

!" said another.

"We are already doing this. Not only that, we have cooperated with the network security departments of China, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany and other countries, but with little success. We can't even find the source of the virus. The virus spread almost at the same time

Anyone who appears around the world will be infected with the virus immediately as long as they install "Genesis"." Robert Brewster answered tiredly.

"Technically speaking, what is the reason why the source of this virus cannot be found?" an observer from the military asked seriously as he looked at the screen.

"Computing speed. This virus has been replicating and even evolving at an alarming rate. Although we have used national supercomputers to assist in calculations, in the final analysis, it is still our technicians who use these computers. They cannot keep up with

Due to the rhythm of this virus that changes tens of thousands of times per second, the shape of the virus is constantly changing. We cannot find the prototype of the virus at all, and it is impossible to analyze the virus." Robert Brewster looked a little ugly.

"Why not let the computer automatically complete this analysis?" the military observer continued to ask.

"Because this analysis work requires independent judgment and adaptability according to changes in the computer virus, these tasks determine that the computer cannot be automatically performed." Another technician wearing glasses answered on Robert's behalf.

"If I remember correctly, the 'Warrior Plan' includes an artificial intelligence research and development project. I wonder if that project, which consumes tens of billions of dollars every year, has any tangible results?" Military observer

An incomprehensible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he continued: "I know this project is top secret, but now the Secretary of Defense is on his way to the White House, and he will report to the President face to face. And before leaving, the Minister should give you an order

Did you get the relevant instructions?"

"Your Excellency the Minister did not directly ask me to solve the problem in this way. If artificial intelligence is activated, it is inevitable that our military's network will be connected to civilian networks, and this virus may invade our military.

network! The consequences are disastrous!" Robert Brewster said sternly.

"This is your problem, Colonel, and my purpose is just how to solve this computer virus." The military observer stood up, took off his sunglasses, stared at Robert with his triangular eyes, and said word by word:

"In addition, if we talk about war, then we are already in a state of war. At least I can't think of anything else that can cause us to suffer such shocking losses!"

After speaking, the military observer turned around and left the conference room without ceremony.

"Colonel?" An assistant looked at Robert Brewster who was in a daze and asked in a low voice.

"In the 'Warrior Project', we did design an artificial intelligence. This artificial intelligence serves as the command center for those TS-300 artificial super soldiers. The purpose of the Ministry of National Defense is to build a team composed entirely of computers. There is no mercy.

No emotions, just missions...This is a perfect tool for the country." Robert Brewster said.

"I think we should activate this artificial intelligence and let it assist our technicians in fighting this computer virus." an official whispered.

"Then what? What if it fails? If this artificial intelligence is invaded by a virus, have you thought about the consequences?" Robert asked rhetorically.

"We can first cut off the connection between this artificial intelligence and other military networks, and then connect it to the civilian network separately. This should be able to avoid the risk of the military network being invaded." A technician shopkeeper said, "It's just that

During this process, we need to shut down those TS-300s that are being tested, because once they do, they will lose unified control."

Colonel Robert Brewster pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head and said: "That's it! Shut down the TS-300, seal them all, cut off the connection between the artificial intelligence and the military network, and then let this artificial intelligence destroy the computer virus

!”

After he finished speaking, he looked at the people who had taken the order and started to work, and sighed inconspicuously.

…

At the entrance of the Pentagon, Hayden led a staff member in. He showed the FBI director's ID to the guard and was let in.

"After all, the FBI and the Department of Defense belong to different systems. It's quite sensitive for me to come in at this time, so I can only help you here. The current raging computer viruses should be Skynet's conspiracy. Can you handle it?"

Hayden whispered.
