The elevator used in the GTC headquarters building is a customized model from Cohen Company. It runs fast and smoothly. But the man standing in the elevator felt that the time to rise to the top was unbearably long. The number jumped from "4" to "5". It took a full century. Guy Cookery, the director of the Ninth Division, clearly felt the anxiety of the people around him. He took the initiative and said: "The situation is not serious. Mark, it's just that the data in the yellow line area is abnormal. No. What impact will it have?"
"Having said that." Mark Thompson wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. "'World' is an overly precise model. Although it is completely self-consistent from a logical point of view, it has a higher error rate than the real world. Tolerance. But the reservation area is not an internal component of the real evolutionary model. It is a transition interval that communicates external data and the world model. Any unknown error may lead to catastrophic consequences, thus triggering a chain reaction of collapse... Damn it. Does anyone else know the news?"
"There are only a few of us." Kukri reached out and patted the other person's shoulder. A bright red double-headed eagle tattoo was revealed on his wrist. It was a fraternity tattoo drawn on the dermis using molecular polarizing ink. Only those who also received molecules Eyes modified with super-polarized corneas can identify. In the eyes of other people or in the surveillance footage of the camera, there is nothing strange about Kukri’s wrist. This is the method used by the brotherhood cadres lurking inside the GTC to identify each other. The Red Owl Brotherhood It took more than ten years to infiltrate the GTC. It took another ten years to push several cadres to their current position. Safety and caution are the first principles of conduct.
In the great purge some time ago, the Brotherhood finally excluded dissident forces from the decision-making core of GTC and gained short-term but valuable control. They had long known that there were high-level members of the ghost organization hidden within GTC. The great purge did not exclude everyone. The enemy was picked out and killed. Instead, a tense atmosphere was created to keep these people away from Salzburg, Austria, creating a time window of power vacuum. Now the director of the Counter-Terrorism Intelligence Division, Jordon Smith, and the director of the Communications Division, Leighton... GTC hawks like Holt are not at the Salzburg headquarters. Brandon Bartholomew, the leader of the "World" project team, is missing. The "World" press conference was completely controlled by the Brotherhood. This is Brotherhood Seven The most mysterious branch in the department, "Beria", has a long-planned plan.
Thompson wiped his sweat anxiously. The voice of the leader of the Red Owl Brotherhood came to mind. It was the annual round table decision-making dinner. It was in the assembly hall underneath the ruins of the Eastern Roman Empire Arena in Baiji City, Antalya, Turkey. The Speaker, who always wore a black cloak and could not see his face, said in his unique gentle, soft and calm voice: "That moment is coming. Everyone will bear their own responsibilities. Four thousand years ago, the Xiti people established The first city wall of Antalya. After the Trojan War, Greeks from the Aegean Sea ruled here. Over the long years, this city once belonged to Persia, Macedonia, Rome, Byzantium, and Ottoman. The heroes Hercules, Alexander the Great, Caesar and the restorer Muhammad I left their footprints here. This city has been destroyed countless times and rebuilt countless times. People will not remember the name of the destroyer, nor the name of the rebuilder. The only important thing is the peace and prosperity of the city. Thalia is still alive. After a long history, it still shines between the Mediterranean Sea and the Taurus Mountains. What we have to do is to take on this responsibility. The responsibility of protecting the continued survival of this world. Our names will be forgotten by history. For all survivors, that moment is just one of countless ordinary moments. The night will pass and the sun will rise as usual."
At that time, Mark Thompson felt that the red double-headed eagle tattoo on his collarbone was burning. He drank a glass of luscious wine, silently raised his glass to the Speaker and swore to follow the Brotherhood's canon until the end of the world. When he learned that he had to bear When asked about the responsibility, Thompson was very surprised, because it was such a trivial thing. It was not proportional to the huge sacrifices made by the Beria branch.
The instruction he received was to adjust the client synchronization clock backward by 0.3 nanoseconds when the "World" is officially released. The synchronization clock is a parameter for time scale calibration when the implanted chip communicates with "Genesis" through the quantum network. Collected from The cesium atomic clock signal released by the National Timing Observatory closest to the access point. To modify the synchronization clock parameters means to completely hijack the signal collection process. To take over the timing signals of 204 national observatories around the world. This requires a very huge Full regulatory authority over GTC network resources and the "World" project. No one on the planet can do this except the GTC Timing Committee.
What can the 0.3 nanosecond error be used for? The speaker did not explain to Thompson. It was not that he could not explain it, but that he did not think it was necessary to explain it; Mark Thompson also did not ask. It was not that he did not want to ask, but that he was unable to speak a complete sentence. Although he is the Executive Chairman of the GTC Committee, he is still only a mid-level cadre ranking outside the forty ranks within the Brotherhood. The opportunity to talk directly with the Speaker is what he dreams of. When the Speaker's voice speaks directly to people's hearts, Passed into his mind. Thompson couldn't do anything else except keep saluting.
At that time, he roughly understood the significance of this action from several familiar Brotherhood colleagues. "The World" is a stage that the Brotherhood values very much. The Roundtable Council believes that this virtual reality carries the hope of the future of mankind. No matter what the cost, We must keep it firmly in our hands. Long-term research by the Beluse Babu and Leviathan branches has shown that the real evolutionary model of the "world" is a very closed system. It is almost impossible to be influenced by external forces. Even after investing considerable resources, it can only achieve There are a few sporadic success stories. These people who have gained great strength or high status are called "advisors" and will not be used until critical moments.
To control the "world", one must gain strength and status. This is especially true now that the continental war is intensifying. The plan to be implemented is a quite bold move. It does not directly attack the logical model of the "world", but starts from the six reservation areas. Let’s start. The so-called reservation area is the data buffer. In order to avoid the conflict between the rules of reality (the digital rules of the quantum network) and the rules of the world (the autonomous rules of the real evolution model). All data entering and leaving the "world" are buffered in six reservation areas. . Regardless of the upstream and downstream data of player login, the updated data of the continent's autonomous evolution, useless overflow data or backup data waiting for update, all are saved in the reserved area, waiting for the extraction of "Genesis" or "World".
The six reservation zones are written using an incomplete evolutionary model language. Their stability is not comparable to that of the world itself. A time of 0.3 nanoseconds and 300 picoseconds. This is the sufficient and necessary time calculated by the Leviathan branch. Low Data anomalies on this time scale will not be recorded in the data log by the quantum computer. Idle all player access threads after the official release of "World" for 0.3 nanoseconds. Leviathan can inject Brotherhood members before the player personality arrives. The account information allows the real operator to obtain the game identity that should be assigned to the player. It follows the principle of complete fairness. The identity that the player will obtain is random. Kings, religious leaders and ninth-level professions will be generated among the 20 million accounts. The strong... and even without obtaining these important identities, the Brotherhood can still gain 20 million blank game accounts. Before the world server responds, all logged-in player accounts will be stolen. 20 million "world "The residents will be depersonalized and await the arrival of a new owner of the body... which could be any operator of the Brotherhood.
Mark Thompson didn't know the consequences of doing so. He didn't need to know. There were only ten minutes left before that moment. He had to shoulder his responsibility. Any abnormality would not be tolerated. He murmured Talking to himself. At this moment, his spirit was as tense as a violin string that was too tight.
"By the way. Smith just sent back the news that the GTC counter-terrorism forces from the entire Asia, Africa and Europe region have been mobilized to Central Africa...the Chad war zone. They are fighting IPU militants. The United Nations has put some pressure on it. But as we expected .The voice of opposition is not strong. After all, it can be considered that there is a reason." Guy Cookery said.
"I don't care about the war. I only care about my 'world'." Thompson said. "Did Bartholomew do it? Where is he now?"
The Director of the Ninth Division said with cold eyes: "The security system lost track of him at the border between France and Switzerland. I believe he has not left Central Europe. He may even be in Austria. The identity of the ghost member is basically certain. I have long thought that this old man It’s doubtful. But I haven’t been able to find any clues. It seems that he is still a high-level figure.”
Thompson said: "We have disabled his private permissions to prevent him from communicating with the world project team in any way. If this can still cause trouble, does it have quantum network permissions that we did not expect?"
"There are too many mysteries hidden here, Mark." Kukri touched the GTC blue logo on the inner wall of the elevator with his hand and said lightly.
The elevator door finally opened. The two walked on the soft red carpet into the office on the top floor of the GTC headquarters building. Mark Thompson closed the door. He waved his hand to open the quantum network terminal. The personal assistant facing the holographic projection issued the instruction: "Verify my Permission. I want to access the on-site data in the reserved area. Only the abnormal data part."
"Yes, Doctor." The lifelike personal assistant replied. "Your permission has been verified. The data is being retrieved. I must remind you that any observation from the outside will change the existence status of the reserved area. Directly retrieve It’s damaging, Doctor.”
