Chapter 53: The Escaping Program Flow
B City Shengshi Yongyao Headquarters, Core Department 'Tianji Large-scale Computing System Research Center'.
Dai Yongchang is just 40 years old this year, but he is a top scientist in the field of computer science in China and even in the world, and last year's Nobel Prize winner!
He was one of only three scientists who participated in the entire process of development and use of the Tianji mainframe, and he also owned 27% of the shares of the game "Tianyu".
Developing Tianji Master Brain is Dai Yongcheng's lifelong endeavor. His goal is to extend human lifespan, shorten the time of education for the masses, and so on...
Developing the "Tianyu" game is just the first phase of testing Tianji's main brain as an autonomous control system. The impact of mistakes made by Tianji's main brain in the game is negligible, but in reality, it can be fatal!
So since the game "Tianyu" went online, he has almost moved to the research center, staring at the super-large screen, watching every calculation data of the Tianji mainframe, fortunately, Tianji has not made any mistakes all along.
But Dai Yongcheng didn't dare to be careless at all! Because 6 years ago, the Tianji main brain, as a highly confidential project of the Chinese military, was once sabotaged by spies from enemy countries...
The enemy spy's initial goal was to steal the core technical data that could change the course of human history. After repeated failures, they harbored the intention of "if I can't get it, you won't be able to either" and launched a virus attack on the Tianji mainframe!
It turns out that destruction is much easier than construction. The still-improving Tianji mainframe was invaded by a virus, triggering an overload of the voltage of dozens of sub-program computers connected to "it", causing the laboratory to explode and killing more than a dozen scientists who were present at the scene!
Only Dai Yongchang, who was on a rotating shift, and two other scientists were spared...
Although China's espionage department immediately launched a targeted retaliatory action, the damage had already been done. Dai Yongcheng, who lost his mentor and colleagues, brought two other scientists to spend six years repairing the Tianji main program and clearing out 99.9% of the virus...
Although it is said that there is nothing perfect in this world, Dai Yongcheng still attaches great importance to the remaining 0.1% of the virus. Three scientists are divided into three shifts, with each person monitoring the system for 24 hours a day, without rest for 6 years! The disaster 6 years ago was a lifelong trauma for the survivors!
No one wants tragedy to repeat itself!
Dai Yongcheng has been tracking this remaining virus for six years, but this subtle program flow seems to have evaporated from the countless programs in the sky, leaving no trace!
He ran away...
Dai Yongcheng knew that this runaway program flow was no longer a threat to the Tianji mainframe, but he had yet to emerge from the shadow of the disaster six years ago. He couldn't let go of this last thread of the virus, or he would be unworthy of his deceased mentor and colleagues!
"Dai Gong, yesterday we found an abnormal program flow fluctuation in the Tianyu domain, but it was very short and couldn't be located." A young researcher handed over the materials to Dai Yongcheng.
"How did you determine it was an abnormal program?" Dai Yongcheng asked his most accomplished disciple.
"I've checked its coding composition, but before I could parse the data language, it disappeared. That wasn't a self-generated subprogram code from Tianji." The young researcher said affirmatively.
"Uh-huh, got it. Keep a close eye on it, and lock it down as soon as it appears." A hint of tears welled up in Dai Yongcheng's eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses. After 6 years, you're finally going to find it!
Carefully looking at the materials handed over by his disciples, his right hand skillfully typed on the keyboard according to the coding and data on the materials. A super-large screen flashed out a world game map, the map kept locking, and finally fixed on an area...
Huaxia District!
This is getting harder, Dai Yongcheng furrowed his brow.
It is well known that the Huaxia district has the largest population, with 340 million people logging in on the first day. In recent days, the number of logins has not decreased but increased, and it is approaching 400 million! The map is also very large, making it difficult to find what you're looking for, like finding a needle in the sea.
"Closely monitor the Huaxia district. Report any abnormal programs to me immediately." Dai Yongcheng grabbed the microphone and gave orders over the broadcast.
How will this program flow appear in the heavenly realm? Equipment, pets or monsters? He thought and his head got bigger.
It's fine if it's a monster, but it's troublesome when players get it.
What if the player gets it? As one of the developers of Tianji, after entrusting Tianyu to Tianji with full authority, he also cannot arbitrarily intervene in the operation of the system!
Compared with that fleeing program stream, forcibly interrupting the Tianji running mode would result in a loss that Dài Yǒngchéng cannot accept.
This has nothing to do with money!
It's just like a normal computer that has its power cut off during operation. When it restarts, it will run self-test programs and the data you didn't save before the power was cut off will be lost.
In the Tianji mainframe program, a disruption and restart is not as simple as losing some data on an ordinary computer...
No one can bear the consequences, Dai Yongcheng felt his head was several times bigger.
