At this stage, the average amount of data generated in the human world every day reaches about one trillion GB. This data may be a photo, a movie, a piece of music, a piece of email, a text message, a voice message, etc.

etc.

In this information age, human beings have truly become digital individuals. The Internet has truly become one of the most important infrastructures.

The Global Internet Information Monitoring Center was established based on this reality. Its purpose is to ensure the orderly operation of the Internet and protect it.

Its responsibilities are many and complex, and overlap with almost any government department. For example, it collects illegal and criminal information, monitors changes in certain data, and so on.

Monitoring changes in public opinion is of course one of its responsibilities.

At this moment, Lu Ming came here and met with a supervisor named Ma.

He is one of the heads of the public opinion monitoring department of the Internet Information Monitoring Center.

When Lu Ming showed his ID, Manager Ma's attitude became even more enthusiastic.

It's rare to see people like Lu Ming, who is as young as Lu Ming, already have such a high-level security sergeant.

"Chief Lu, hello, hello."

After greeting him warmly, Lu Ming was taken to his office by Manager Ma.

After explaining his intention, Manager Ma immediately agreed and made arrangements immediately.

Not long after, a young man with disheveled hair and glasses walked in.

"This is a technical engineer from the AI ​​department. Xiao Li, please cooperate with Chief Lu and screen out the information Chief Lu needs and give it to him."

"yes."

"AI department?"

Lu Ming was slightly confused.

Seeing that Lu Ming didn't know much about this, the engineer known as Xiao Li explained: "Public opinion monitoring is impossible to accomplish by manpower alone. There are currently billions of active Internet users in the world, and millions of people are generated every day.

There is a huge amount of information, and in a chaotic state, every trivial matter may develop into a major public opinion by chance.

Based on this, we developed and trained an AI system that monitors the entire Internet at all times and initially screens out things that have the potential to become hot events. Well, this step can screen out up to 99.9999% of the alternatives.

Judging from past data, its error rate is very low. Even if it makes a mistake in the first step, it can make timely adjustments based on subsequent development. Overall, the hit rate can be considered to be 100%.

After that, depending on the different nature of the incident, we can make the next decision, whether to ignore it and let it develop, to add fuel to the flames, or to reduce the heat. No matter what we do, it is very convenient.

This system can also intelligently analyze whether there are other forces secretly promoting a certain event in order to achieve any purpose. If it is a normal business promotion behavior, then ignore it. If there is any dark plot, it will be forwarded

Leave it to your public security department to deal with it."

This engineer named Xiao Li is obviously a technical geek. When it comes to his own field, he immediately talks non-stop and becomes eloquent. Manager Ma is a little embarrassed and wants to stop him, but sees that Lu Ming also

I listened so intently that I had no choice but to endure it.

"sharp."

After listening to Engineer Li's explanation, Lu Ming admired him wholeheartedly. Then he had another doubt: "The Internet generates so much data every day, even if there are only 0.0001% of events, the number should be a lot. What should we do with these things?"

Engineer Li scratched his head in embarrassment, causing some dandruff to fall in the wind: "There is no way, our AI is not a real person after all, and its intelligence is limited. For the rest, we can only rely on manual review and attention.

Already."

Manager Ma smiled dryly and said: "The manual review department has the largest number of people in the public opinion monitoring department. Okay, let's not talk about this, Xiao Li, I will leave this matter to you, and you must do it well."

"no problem."

Manager Ma left in a hurry. Engineer Li invited: "Sergeant Lu, you can come to our public opinion monitoring hall and take a look."

"Don't be so polite, just call me Lu Ming."

The two of them walked together to the upper floor. Xiao Li opened a door, and immediately, a huge room like a large cinema came into view.

On this side of the hall, there are rows of office seats, divided into hundreds of small areas. Each area is occupied by seven or eight people. People are either staring at the computer screen and typing on the keyboard quickly, or interacting with each other.

What are they discussing among themselves?

At the end of the hall, there is a giant screen that is larger than a movie theater curtain. It displays a huge world map, with countless data flashing rapidly in the corners of the map, and countless red dots flashing in different parts of the map.

Some of the red dots were large and some were small, and their flashing frequencies were also different. Among them, Lu Ming saw the biggest red dot at a glance.

"What is that?"

Xiao Li looked at his smart watch and said angrily: "Celebrity A and celebrity B officially announced their relationship, celebrity C publicly claimed that celebrity B had always abandoned her, and celebrity A retorted, claiming that celebrity C's best friend stabbed her in the back, and celebrity B

He also claimed that his original intentions were the same..."

"Stop, stop, stop."

Lu Ming felt that his head was being messed up by this complicated relationship, and he quickly stopped Xiao Li: "That's it? Is it so hot?"

Xiao Li said bitterly: "No. Current monitoring shows that more than 100 million people have expressed their opinions on this matter. On major forums, blogs, and social software, there are more than 10,000 hot topics about this matter.

On average, tens of billions of GB of data related to this matter are generated every day..."

Lu Ming was speechless: "Here, you are full after eating, right?"

"Isn't that right? People who eat melon are eating melon until they are full..."

At the current stage, this incident overwhelmingly occupies the top of the list of public opinion hot spots. Lu Ming browsed through the other hot spots and saw such things as the birthday party of a certain star and a small cut made by a finger at the filming scene of a certain star.

, he was rushed to the hospital. On the way, he only had red circles under his eyes but no tears. He was praised as a strong man and a model of the new era...

"So many resources are wasted on this kind of thing."

Lu Ming felt a little regretful at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was the normal state of society.

Ordinary people can waste their energy on this kind of thing, which at least proves that their current life is pretty good.

If you can't even survive, no one will bother to invest a little energy in this kind of thing.

Isn't this the source of motivation for you and your teammates to fight?

After roughly understanding the work process of the Internet Information Monitoring Center, under the leadership of Xiao Li, Lu Ming came to a special conference room, where several people were already waiting here.

"This is Sergeant Lu from the Public Security Bureau. There are some things that require our cooperation. Director Ma ordered me to take charge of this matter."

Xiao Li made some introductions and looked at Lu Ming: "What are the information screening criteria?"

Lu Ming first asked hello, and then spoke out several screening criteria that had been prepared.

“First, it can be more clearly confirmed that there was no human intention, or there is a relatively clear way to exclude the suspicion of human intention.

Second, it has the potential to become, or has become a hot event. According to your classification standards, well... it is probably at level three or above.

Third, the relevant scientific fields or engineering fields belong to science and engineering, not literature and history.

Well, if you're not sure, just leave it to me."

After discussing for a while, several people understood what they needed to do and dispersed.

Among them, Xiao Li is responsible for adding screening rules to the AI ​​to complete the preliminary screening. Afterwards, the events with higher suspicion will be further manually screened by the remaining people. If it is still uncertain, it will be reported to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming completed the final confirmation.

After setting this set of procedures, follow-up work will begin immediately.

Originally, Lu Ming thought that it might take some time before any news that met the standards would be reported to him, but unexpectedly, the first message was sent before evening that day.

"When a man passed the glass door of XX shopping mall, the glass door suddenly burst, causing multiple injuries to the man's body. He has been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The security department has cordoned off the scene and begun investigation."

Along with this message, there was an animated picture. Then Lu Ming saw a man walking his own way without provoking anyone. When he passed a glass door, the door suddenly

It exploded, and the man was miserable.

"This news has not been widely circulated yet, but it has the potential to become a hot topic."

A staff member explained to Lu Ming: "In daily life, it is very common to pass by a glass door, which means that every ordinary person is likely to suffer an accident such as a glass door exploding. This will lead to

The public has a strong sense of empathy and empathy for this, and will pay attention to it. When there are more people, a hot news will be formed."

Without professional inspection, Lu Ming had basically guessed several possible reasons for the explosion of the glass door. It was simply that the quality of the glass was not good enough, excessive pressure on the door frame caused uneven stress, alternating hot and cold thermal expansion and contraction, or

It had been accidentally damaged before.

This kind of thing is most likely a pure accident. The glass manufacturing industry it involves also belongs to science and engineering rather than literature and history.

In these respects, there is no doubt that this message meets the standards.

Lu Ming pondered for a moment and made a decision.

If you have any doubts for the time being, continue to observe and see if it can become a real hot event in the future.

Whether an event becomes a hot event depends on many decisive factors.

The Internet world is also a place full of chaos, full of all kinds of randomness. Some people will accidentally become popular because of an accident, and some people will try their best but fail to become popular. Various situations may occur.

This incident only has the potential to become a hot event, but it has not actually become a hot event.

Lu Ming did not inform Zhang Dingshan and others about this incident because he did not think that the secret organization would predict this incident.

After all, this matter is too "small". Judging from the usual style of that secret organization, it doesn't seem like it would pay attention to such a trivial matter.

Shortly afterwards, another message passed the screening.
