Chapter 96 The main control computer keeps crashing

Meng Fei turned around, walked across the weathered deck, and walked toward the cab.

"Sorry, Mr. Meng, the captain is dealing with ship problems. Please wait in the lounge for now."

A male waiter politely stood in front of him.

Meng Fei ignored him and continued to take two steps forward.

In addition to the male waiter, two other uniformed security guards rushed over, and the three of them blocked the front.

What's interesting is that both security guards have guns in their hands.

It is not a pistol, but a shotgun often used for escort. It is about the size of a submachine gun and has a thick barrel.

Although this thing has a limited range, it has great power in close combat within ten meters.

Gun control in Qingmang Country is extremely strict. Even security guards, not everyone is qualified to hold a gun. They are the escort security guards of the security company.

The Ai family treats the yachts passing by as escort ships, and treats every trip like a bank cash truck.

It was precisely because Meng Fei knew that the Ai family was strong enough to ensure safety that he took the risk of being chased by the police and boarded the ship.

"Mr. Meng, according to the Maritime Safety Traffic Law, tourists without corresponding licenses are prohibited from entering the driving cab of a moving vessel."

One of the security guards warned in a serious tone.

Before Meng Fei could answer, Ai Ting walked out from behind him and showed her police badge.

"We are investigators from the Bureau of Abnormalities. We suspect that someone has damaged equipment and hijacked the ship. We need to enter the bridge to investigate."

According to the "Supernatural Powers Law", investigators investigating supernatural powers are equivalent to police officers who handle supernatural power cases.

If they encounter a case where it is temporarily unclear whether supernatural powers are involved, they can intervene directly. Even if they make a mistake, they can just hand it over to the Criminal Investigation Bureau afterwards.

"this……"

The three of them got out of the way, and Meng Fei opened the door and walked in.

It is actually inaccurate to say that the captain is handling the problem.

The first mate was busy trying to drop the anchor outside with the crew door, while the captain was half lying on the sofa in the cab looking at his mobile phone.

When he saw someone coming in, he put his phone away. He originally wanted to chase them away, but he saw Ai Ting showing her police badge in her left hand and holding a gun in her right hand.

"What's wrong with the ship?" Meng Fei asked.

"No need to look, I have already sent out a rescue signal, just wait for rescue."

The captain replied flatly.

In this cockpit, he is the only expert, and he can completely ignore other people's suggestions. From this point of view, the police badge has no effect.

"Why don't you look at it? Can't the fault be repaired?"

"Everything else is fine, but there is something wrong with the main control computer.

"That thing has never been broken since I've been on this boat.

"It's broken now and can only be replaced, not repaired. We don't have the conditions to replace it here."

For the captain, the main control computer controls the ship's communications, navigation, power, and almost everything that can be controlled. It is a truly magical thing.

Usually he just needs to fill in the parameters, and it seems to never break.

If it's really broken, just ask someone to pull it out and replace it with a new one.

It is a black box that never needs to be opened. When the lid is opened, even gods will not know what is inside.

"Where is the main control computer?"

Meng Fei asked.

"Here, here."

The captain walked over and opened the door of a waterproof rack under the main console with a smile on his face:

"Look at it as you like, you're welcome."

What I didn't say in the last half of the sentence is that it's useless no matter how you look at it.

Meng Fei actually took a look.

A high-end blade-type industrial computer with four redundant units plugged into the rack.

This type of machine is said to be waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof, and can be turned on normally even after being submerged in water. The price is ridiculously high, but the stuff inside is cheap and simple.

The simpler something is, the less likely it is to break, especially with four times redundancy. If any one of the four machines fails, it will not be affected.

However, the power lights of these four machines were all on, but the console was completely dark, and the legendary computer turned into a brick.

Meng Fei pressed the reset button on one of them. The hard drive sputtered for a few seconds and then shut down again.

"scanning."

If four machines become bricked at the same time, then all four machines must have the same bug. This is not impossible.

But if the bugs on four machines happen to occur at the same time, a certain coincidence or special arrangement is required.

Now his system scanning function is completely different from what it was originally.

When he first traveled through time, the scanning of the most powerful BUG system had absolutely nothing to do with him. But now every line of code and every instruction scanned by the system will appear in his mind.

Of course, it's one thing to be able to see the code, but it's another thing to be able to understand it.

He often boasts that he is one of the strongest programmers in human history, but if tens of thousands of lines of code are thrown in front of him, he will never be able to understand it within a few seconds.

But it doesn't matter, the strongest BUG system immediately located the problem. So what he saw was directly the error code.

I also helped him reverse the machine code into C.

//Memory used to accept extended buffer

unsigned char *ext_buf = NULL;

//Determine whether the received notification has extended attributes

if(notify-)type & NT_TYPE_EXT){

//If there is, copy the extended buffer

memcpy(ext_buf,

notify-)ext_buf,

notify-)ext_buf_len);

}

This is a super obvious bug.

Because the memory of ext_buf is not allocated at all, if you receive an extended notification with an extension tag in the type, the data will be copied to the null pointer, which will undoubtedly cause a crash.

But why does the captain say that it has never been broken since he started the ship?

It seems that the reason is simple, because this ship has never received this extended type of notification.

As long as the type in the received notification does not have the NT_TYPE_EXT tag, it will never crash.

But now these four main control computers cannot start up. In fact, it is not that they really cannot start up.

Instead, as soon as they are started, they will quickly receive a notification with this rare attribute, and then crash and automatically restart.

After repeated restarts, they will automatically enter a permanently closed state and need to be turned on manually.

In other words, someone is constantly sending messages to this ship to crash its main control computer!

"Is this ship communicating with Zhangdao?" Meng Fei asked.

"Of course, the yacht command center in Zhangdao will continue to send requests for the location, course and speed of the ship, and automatically record it every day."

The captain raised his eyes and glanced at Meng Fei, wondering whether this guy could solve such an impossible problem with just one pair of eyes and one pair of bare hands?

"Where's the signal receiver? Turn it off."

Meng Fei said in a commanding tone.

It's clear that the main computer is bricked, but you ask me to turn off the signal receiver?

It is so ridiculous to let so-called supernatural investigators come to repair the ship.

The captain walked up to the main console impatiently and flipped the mechanical switch to forcefully cut off the power to the signal receiver in the command center.

"What is the use?"

He looked at the so-called investigator in front of him with amusement, wanting to see his futile and embarrassed look.

Meng Fei ignored him and pressed the start button of the main control computer again.

If he uses system repair, he can solve this problem instantly. But he wants to confirm one thing, that is, whether the signal from Zhangdao triggered this BUG.

If this is indeed the case, then investigate the yacht command center to find out who started sending this signal and for what reason. Maybe we can dig out more things.

Although Ai Ting said that she had no interest in her father's property, it did not mean that the gang of dandies on Zhangdao would not become her enemy.

Instead of being beaten passively and not fighting back, it is better to seize this clue, expose the truth, and fight back fiercely!
