The digital virus reappears!
As the investigation deepens, there are more and more contradictions.
No remains of enemy troops from the Thos civilization were found.
With the deepening of various investigations, the power of astronomical observation equipment was fully turned on, and the discovered wreckage of the spacecraft and the remains of the robots on the base were basically those of the Toss civilization itself.
"Either the Toss civilization was overwhelmingly crushed and was unable to fight back...or it was really a civil war."
Until the situation is understood, the unknown risk will always exist, and it may even come to the Kyushu in the next second, and people cannot help but be careful.
Fortunately, the "Kyushu" is currently relatively far away from that area, a full 10 hours' journey at the speed of light. Even if there is any risk, there should be time to react. You can't just run away without investigating anything...
But this frightening feeling has always existed, as if as time accumulates, the risk will become bigger and bigger...
During the discussion, suddenly, a light flashed in Zhang Yuan's mind, and he felt that he and others seemed to have missed something. This missing point was extremely important and dangerous. He immediately followed this flash of light and started thinking hard.
"What is the reason for the chaos in the Toss civilization? Is our exploration plan too simple?"
"Let's take a simple scenario. A strange phenomenon suddenly appeared on the surface of the colonial planet and was discovered by the Toss civilization. They began to investigate carefully, and they may even be more cautious than us!"
"But in the end there was total chaos...so much so that a civil war broke out?!"
"Something's wrong, this is definitely wrong!"
After he figured out the key points, he was so scared that his hair was trembling. He immediately stood up from his position and shouted loudly: "Wait a minute, everyone, we must not overestimate ourselves and think that we have taken enough measures. Is it safe enough? Isn't it because of this mentality that the Toss civilization collapsed?"
"Is there an unknown enemy that has launched an attack on us? What are the unknown attack methods of the fifth-level civilization... The only thing I can think of is a digital virus!"
Yes, digital viruses were widely used in the wars of high-level civilizations. People have heard of this in the interstellar trading market.
At that time, it was just a kind of interesting gossip, but now, people may actually encounter it!
Everyone in the conference room was stunned.
Zhang Yuan calmed down his emotions a little and continued: "If a digital virus infects a computer and then hides itself without destroying its original functions, and even hides it from our security inspectors, I It's not that we doubt the level of security personnel...but in the face of the unknown, we must be cautious. It is inaccurate to judge other digital viruses based on the characteristics of the ten thousand year bug virus!!"
After the ten thousand year old bug infects a computer, it will paralyze the computer and then infect all directions through communication waves.
This feature is very obvious and can be easily discovered, and humans have also implemented a series of protections against it.
But not all digital viruses are like this.
Zhang Yuan said loudly: "In short, the longer time passes, the more machines there will be lurking virus infections. Now is not the time for exploration, but the time for final investigation!"
He almost shouted the last few words: "Turn off the power, check!"
Power outage troubleshooting and power on troubleshooting are two different levels!
Zhang Yuan's words immediately silenced the originally bustling conference room. The cost of a region-wide power outage is undoubtedly extremely high. Which of the various safety facilities today does not use electricity? What's the difference between being out of power and being blind and deaf?
Although it is a bit suspicious of fighting with the air, in the face of a possible unknown digital virus, no matter how careful you should be, you should be careful.
"I agree!" One of the leaders of the hemispheric civilization also nodded immediately: "We know nothing about digital viruses... This is indeed a unique attack method of level five civilization, and it is extremely efficient, much higher than other conventional weapons."
"That's right, let's do it like this. No need to discuss it anymore, hurry up." After Captain Feng heard the word digital virus, he knocked on the table hard.
At that moment, people cut off all electromagnetic wave communications with the outside world and began to deploy manpower to check all communication devices.
As for the Hemisphere people, they also began to organize experts urgently. It is possible that the digital virus spread along the electromagnetic communication. It's just that there are currently not enough experts on the human side to reinforce them.
This is also the troublesome part of the alliance between the two sides. Due to the inequality in strength, it is difficult to solve the problem after discovering it. There is no way to directly issue orders like a single civilization. Humans have virtual world technology and have been studying digital viruses for some time, but hemispheric civilizations do not.
Fortunately, this time the hemispheric civilizations were quite cooperative. Faced with an unknown mysterious product, and with a living example of the remains of a fourth-level civilization in front of them, no matter how cautious they were, they could not be too cautious. They quickly organized a large-scale A large number of experts began to investigate the entire region.
This large batch is really large, with thousands of people, and talents from all kinds of unrelated majors came here!
Hemisphere people don't want to cause such trouble for nothing just because they are too careless.
In the end, Professor Yamamoto Ichiro, who was specifically responsible for this aspect, had a few words with the leader of the Hemisphere, discussed the inspection process, and assigned several expert personnel, which gave them some peace of mind.
The "10,000-year-old bug virus" that humans have been exposed to in the past is the product of wars between advanced civilizations millions of years ago. It is just the simplest digital virus, and theoretically there are more complex and comprehensive types. No matter how many battle stars the fourth-level civilization has, it is completely invincible against this thing. If the protective measures are even slightly inadequate, it will be paralyzed in minutes.
After 30 minutes, all electromagnetic wave receivers were cut off. People could only use astronomical telescopes to observe the ruins from a distance, and at the same time communicate with each other through the simplest light.
"Come on, let's go!"
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and boarded a transport spacecraft, accompanied by Professor Yamamoto Ichiro, a dozen scientists, and seven or eight soldiers. The transport spacecraft changed from automatic driving to manual driving mode, and all surface contact rooms were closed. It could be seen that the pilot in front was also a little nervous.
"Buzz", there was a soft sound on the deck, and the spacecraft's tail fin sprayed violent blue plasma and successfully took off.
The large communication base station in front is about 5 light seconds away from the Kyushu battle star and is the signal receiving center for the entire investigation force. If the virus is really infected, this space base station must be infected first.
The communication station of the hemispheric civilization is also nearby. Since the two parties have different communication technologies and different programming languages, we can only check each one in various ways.
Zhang Yuan was recalling in his heart the various measures taken by new human civilization to deal with digital viruses...
There are not many ways to deal with digital viruses. The simplest and most cost-effective way is to cut off the power. Therefore, Professor Yamamoto suggested that if the hemispheric civilization cannot detect anything, just cut off the power.
But if the power is cut off for too long, the alliance itself will be in danger. Maybe there is an enemy waiting for you to cut off the power?
