The bells of two thousand years rang, and all human beings surrounded the sun on the earth and came to a "new era".

It is actually quite debatable to say that it is a new era. Because whether it is the so-called two thousand years or the millennium, it is created by humans based on certain concepts.

Is there a small planet in the universe that welcomes their second millennium? Apart from these little people, no one cares. Even the earth under their feet will not care.

If the earth really has the will, he can also use his billions of years of life to mock these small things that have only lived a few circles around the sun.

However, no matter whether the earth cares, whether the sun cares, whether the Milky Way cares, whether the universe cares, and humans care on their own.

When the millennium bells were passed along with the advancement of the date change line, the entire earth entered two thousand years.

When the last moment of two thousand years came, all organizations that proclaimed that the last day of 1999 was the end of the world exploded in place.

However, those who did not participate in these organizations also received a huge problem. Especially in the field of electronic computers, they encountered a big problem with the millennium bug.

If you don’t handle it a little bit, you may have to finish the entire Internet and the database that is not connected to the Internet!

As for the reason for the game, it is very simple. Since the memory in the early stages of computer development is very valuable, the programmers who developed computer programs only used three digits to represent the year in order to save bytes. For example, in 1985, in 1988, in 1988, in 1999, in 1999.

Well... there is no problem until here, but how should we express it for two thousand years? Two thousand years will be one, and the last three will become 000 years?

Once the year becomes 000, all data stored in the previous 999 will be overwritten.

In the eyes of those who do not understand the principles, this process is like a terrifying worm eating all these data.

Therefore, the media called this one-digit event the Millennium Worm Incident.

However, although the principle of this incident occurred is simple, it is not easy to solve.

The difficulty is not to change a computer, but to use limited manpower to change hundreds of millions of computers.

For enterprises such as Industrial Light and Magic that use large rendering farms, no matter how others solve it, they must first solve their own crisis.

An action to sweep the snow in front of the door began.

However, compared with those busy manufacturers, Wanhu is not at all panicked. Because all the machines of Wanhu have the function of recording four-digit years in advance.

This is because Takahashi was foresighted and knew that there would be a thousand-year-old insect. Secondly, tens of thousands of households developed relatively late, and no one would do his own tricks to cut off the single-digit number in the year in order to save a mere byte.

As for how the millennium insect problem was solved before the arrival of the millennium, the solution was also very simple.

It is not a rare hacker. It spread a piece of super worm program, infects all computers, and then corrects the time system.

If someone really does this, even if it can solve the problem of the millennium bug in front of you, another problem is, will anyone dare to use the computer in the future?

If you still dare to use it, then if someone can invade the computer as unscrupulously and get any permissions it wants, it would be terrifying.

Of course, in fact, what people think is confidential to the Internet data is not actually confidential.

As the world's largest Internet user, all websites officially established in the United States must be reported in states and federal states in the United States.

If states and federally consider it necessary, they can always access data that many people think is confidential.

The reason why the data is still confidential is that the relevant departments have not yet felt that it is necessary to investigate.

Regulation is actually not necessarily a bad thing. Without regulation, many chaos may arise in the Internet.

For example, some extreme and bloody places in the East will be widely circulated.

However, supervision is not necessarily a good thing.

If you over-regulate and take care of everything, then the Internet might as well not forget it.

The United States' regulation of the Internet is in a very delicate category. As long as you don't make a mistake, you have great authority, but once you start making a mistake, you will pay the price for your previous freedom.

Similarly, Wanhu Interactive Entertainment, as a company operating and developing in the United States, also abides by the rules set by relevant American departments.

However, Wanhu Interactive Entertainment's Internet business is basically linked to Wanhu's battle platform. Even if there are some excessive discussions on the player forum, it will be stopped in time.

In the eyes of those stopped players, this kind of behavior certainly has the feeling of thousands of households colluding with relevant departments.

However, there is no way for thousands of households to do so. Do you really not cooperate? Are you just waiting to be cleared out of the US market?

Although there are many employees in Wanhu Interactive Entertainment who advocate the concept of freedom, they can also accept a certain degree of supervision.

Because only by formulating rules can we have freedom in the rules.

Oh, by the way, let’s talk about the Thousand Years of Worm.

The final solution is very terrible, which is to change the time of the most basic root server of the Internet and make a callback.

Most networked machines achieve unified display of time by synchronizing the root server.

Wouldn't it be 000 if 999 adds 1?

Then adjust the year of the root server to 001. Anyway, this system was only used in 1976, and the previous data can be modified and added at will, as long as the number is corrected before 976.

Can't all computer technicians in the world change all computers in 19976?

In fact, these repetitive labors did not last long. Companies such as Symantec, Kaspersky, and Wanhu Security have launched fool modification packages. As long as you download a file that is only 10K, click it and modify it instantly.

The problem that was advertised by the media as the end of the world was easily solved. The first companies to launch modification tools were remembered by users.

It even created the illusion that these security companies are really safe.

So, those expensive antivirus software were sold one after another.

However, with the popularity of these antivirus software, there seem to be more and more viruses on the Internet, becoming more and more powerful.

In this way, the antivirus software will be sold better...

To raise the poison, kill the bandits with good skills.
