Chapter 9 Hello, Skynet!
Xiang Ren chose the place in a desert next to a highway.
After getting off the car, Xiang Ren came to the surface buried by the optical cable based on the map in the database.
Boom!
Xiang Ren used explosives to explode a large pit on the surface. John and Kate jumped into the pit and dug around with a shovel, and finally found the optical cable.
"I found it, how do you plan to pick it up?" John asked after slashing out of the pit and wiping his sweat.
You should know that this optical cable does not have a transfer device and cannot be directly connected to the Internet.
"Just rely on it!" Xiang Ren looked at the T-X body lying on the ground.
With John and Kate's puzzled eyes, Xiang Ren carried the T-X body and went into the pit and placed it next to the optical cable.
Then, Xiang Ren took out a thick data cable, inserted it into the interface behind his head, and the mimic metal behind T-X's head.
Since absorbing the ghost data of T-X, Xiang Ren has obtained the secret key to enter the T-X firewall and easily entered the internal system of T-X.
Xiang Ren checked it a little and found that all the hardware and programs were intact, but there was no ghost used to control these hardware and programs. Xiang Ren immediately took over the management rights of the T-X body.
With the input of data commands, the T-X body trembled slightly, and then stood up under Xiang Ren's control.
John and Kate outside the pit were stunned for a moment when they saw Xiang Ren's operation, but this was not over yet.
I saw that T-X's left hand was deformed into a chainsaw, separating the outer skin of the optical cable by a large hole, then stretching out his index finger with his right hand to deform into a pointed cone, and piercing into the optical cable.
With the influx of nanomechanical streams, these nanomechanicals penetrate optical fibers, creating a data excuse.
After the T-X hand turns back to its original state, he holds the optical cable with his hand, and then a large amount of mimicry metal pours into it to connect with the data excuse established by the nanomechanics.
At this point, a complete and reliable data channel has been established.
After preparing, Xiang Ren said to John: "To be on the safe side, you should take Kate away from here first and find a solid cover to hide first. If I fail, you and Kate can survive. If it succeeds, I will contact you via my phone at that time."
"Okay, then be careful." John nodded, but Kate couldn't help but worry, "Is it really okay?"
"This is just a precautionary insurance measure, I believe him!" John said affirmatively.
Seeing that John was so confident, Kate could only let go of his doubts and drove away from the place with John.
Xiang Ren closed his eyes and started the operation.
After testing, Xiang Ren discovered that the data traffic of the optical cable was extremely low at this time and was still physically isolated from the internal network of the research base, so he had to look for other channels.
So he targeted the Skynet virus on the Internet.
In Xiang Ren's view, these are not so much viruses, but rather "tentastics" extended by Skynet. These data channels can naturally be found along these "tentastics".
After some searching, he finally found a data channel that allows these Skynet to pass through.
It turns out that although the internal network of the research base is still physically isolated from the outside world, it is in contact with the outside world through some communication equipment (wired telephones, mobile phones) of the base, and Skynet penetrates outward through these devices.
This is also why the network is infected now, but communication facilities are still available.
However, thanks to the backwardness of communication equipment at this time, its data traffic is extremely limited. It is unknown how long it takes to pass through these gaps by Skynet's huge data volume.
Although it will not be able to escape for a while, it still has the ability to make trouble, such as paralyzing the network, in order to force the m government to release it.
Xiang Ren has no intention of dealing with these "tentas" of Skynet. If he cleans up the trouble for Country M, Skynet will not know when it will be released.
If Skynet cannot get out, he cannot get in. He can't just pass these "small holes" that only have dozens or hundreds of kb of traffic and are always cut off.
He doesn't have time to waste it like this.
So Xiang Ren did not do much, but was waiting quietly...
...
On April 14, 2004, at 5:05 pm, Mohabi Air Force Base, California was in a state of chaos.
"…This must be a mistake, and it is impossible for all major military systems to have problems."
Kate's father, Robert Brewster, was surrounded by several technicians and headed to the central hall.
"Not only the civilian network system is paralyzed, the network, the flight administration and power plants... and now even the air force bases are down..."
"It must be the virus that caused it..."
Just as two technicians were introducing Robert to the current situation, a technician behind him suddenly interrupted: "The Alaska early warning system has also failed!"
"The national defense satellite signal is also disturbed..."
Robert was a little confused for a moment and quickly looked at a technician and asked, "Where are the missile bases and nuclear submarines?"
The technician paused and said regretfully: "I lost contact..."
"Oh, then aren't we in a state of unprotected now?" Robert couldn't believe it.
"In general, we may be under cyber attack."
"Who did that, hostile forces or cyber hackers?" Robert came to a glass window with a serious look on his face, and the other side was the smart weapon being tested.
"This virus seems to be growing consciously..."
Robert shook his head in disbelief: "This is impossible."
At this time, a technician listened to the headset and said, "The Chief of Staff called from the Pentagon!"
Robert resisted after hearing this, but said, "Okay..."
Arriving at the central hall, Robert connected the communication from the Pentagon.
"We hope you can give a satisfactory solution!" A stern voice came from the other end of the phone.
Robert knew the Pentagon’s idea and replied without hesitation: “Skynet cannot access the military system.”
"But that's not what the project contractors said. They said we are fully capable. I know you are afraid of performing poorly, but your subordinates said that as long as you connect to Skynet, you can kill the virus and allow us to restore control!"
Robert glanced at the many staff members watching him around him, and knew that someone who wanted to take credit must have revealed some of the situation. He could only explain helplessly: "Please listen to my explanation. As soon as Skynet connects, it will control all military systems..."
"But you can control Skynet, right!"
Robert was a little overwhelmed by the Chief of Staff’s words. If he couldn’t answer, he would be finished.
After spending so much money from the Congress, you told me that the things you made could not be controlled!?
This is not a small project, but a national defense system project. If the core Skynet system is uncontrollable, it means that a series of supporting projects have also been wasted.
If this is exposed, it will not cause the entire Congress to explode? How many military, politicians and consortiums will be involved in the interests of this?
Robert believed that as long as he dared to answer that he could not, he would be dismissed immediately and could even experience the "eight shots in the back" of his job.
As the director of Skynet project, he has participated in a lot of "insider information".
Faced with the Chief of Staff’s questioning, Robert could only answer: “That’s right…”
"Then do it... If this happens, you will have endless funds."
After hearing this, Robert realized why the Pentagon was so anxious, and it turned out that there were huge benefits in it.
In addition, the network paralysis caused by the virus has caused the entire country's economic operations to stagnate, especially the financial tycoons on Wall Street, who are losing money every minute and every second. Now is the golden age of the financial industry in M countries!
If you help them solve the difficulties, you will naturally get huge "rewards".
For the sake of money, Robert's originally somewhat resistant mentality began to relax and replied: "Yes, sir."
With Robert's answer, the staff around him immediately cheered.
How much time and sweat they have put into this project, it is time to witness their achievements.
Of course, after this, they will naturally have to be promoted and raised to the peak of their lives, which will defend the national security of M Country.
As for the risks after Skynet is connected... God bless!
With the active preparations of the staff, the preparations for Skynet to connect to the network were quickly completed.
Looking at what is displayed on the screen: Whether to execute (yes/no), Robert still hesitated.
"Sir, do you want me to do it?"
With the staff reminding him, Robert found that the employees around him looked at him. The meaning was very obvious. This historic moment was naturally to give him the leader.
"I'll do it, it's my responsibility."
Robert came to the main computer, looked around the employees who were looking at him with great enthusiasm, slowly turned around and placed his hand on the Y key, and pressed it gently.
"Skynet Defense System Starts" With a mechanical electronic sound, the Skynet host finally connected to the network.
However, at this moment, a change occurred!
A huge data torrent flowed into the base's system.
"Warning, cyber attack!" A huge alarm sounded.
Before the panicked staff could intercept, the firewall of the base was easily broken through, and all computers inside the base were instantly invaded and hijacked, and they all fell into black screens.
"Sheit, what happened!?" Robert was furious as he looked at the situation in front of him.
Suddenly, two words slowly appeared on all computer screens in the hall: Hello, Skynet!
Chapter completed!
