Chapter 282 Transcendental Teleportation
The contagious effects of PC security software continue to expand.
At first, it only interfered with the devices on the intrusion team's side, but soon, the computer virus began to spread rampantly.
The security manager began attempting to access the network nodes connecting these servers through their ports, and then corrupt the top-level host portion from within those nodes.
It's important to understand that the network of Mechanical Earth is enormous; almost 90% of the devices rely on this network connection to maintain their operation.
If they succeed, it will be a devastating blow to the entire mechanical Earth.
"Stop it, notify all network nodes to immediately isolate this network node and cut off all device connections."
Bei Xingwei was genuinely a little panicked this time.
If being counter-intruded upon before only caused her to lose face, then if this virus were to breach the subnet's firewall and use network nodes as springboards to attack the entire civilization's network, then even ten heads wouldn't be enough to cut off her.
Not only her, but everyone present was implicated.
"The subnet has been disconnected from the network and physical layer isolation is in progress!"
Fortunately, Mechanical Earth had already taken corresponding measures to deal with this situation.
Like amputation, as long as they can disconnect the corresponding subnet from the main network, the virus software cannot paralyze all the devices.
However, this matter still alarmed the higher-ups of Mechanical Earth.
"What? You're saying that Bei Xing went to the front lines to try and hack into a central control device of the Mind Civilization, but not only did he fail, he almost got his Skynet system paralyzed by their counter-intrusion?"
The SkyNet system is the core of the Mechanical Earth main network. It not only has the highest control authority over all equipment on Mechanical Earth, but is also the fundamental reason why the Producers can rule this planet.
If this thing were to be invaded by the other side, the political situation on Mechanical Earth would probably undergo earth-shattering changes.
"Yes, this is a battle report that just arrived from the front lines. Please take a look."
When the military's top brass saw the line graph of the battle data between the two sides in the report, they were completely dumbfounded.
Such high computing power?
"Are you sure this isn't a mistake?"
Even if you add up everyone on Mind Earth, you still couldn't come up with that much computing power, right?
Mind Earth possesses a unique technology that transforms human brain computing power into mechanical computing power, which is why everyone is already accustomed to their high computing power.
Therefore, every time there is a computational clash with the Mind Earth, the Mechanical Earth will perform a saturation-style computational power replenishment.
But the other side is so much better, it's clearly not due to a technological gap anymore, right?
That's clearly the other side using cheats!
"Notify our spies who are lurking over there, and tell them to keep an eye on this central control satellite during this period. Within three days, they must find out exactly what happened here."
The orders were quickly passed down through the ranks, but Lin Xuan was unaware of the extent of the impact his actions had caused.
All the spies who had been lurking on the Mind Earth have now surfaced.
"In addition, notify the front-line troops to stop advancing and withdraw, and keep an eye on whether there is any change in control."
The sudden surge in computing power on Mind Earth has unsettled the military.
To be on the safe side, it is wisest to suspend the army's advance now.
After all, if the mind truly possesses a method to boost computing power to such an extent, then their vanguard fleet could very well be paralyzed by the enemy in an instant.
However, this action completely baffled the soldiers on the battlefield.
"What? Why are we suddenly being ordered to retreat?" The fleet soldiers of the mechanical Earth were full of confusion.
"What? Why did they suddenly retreat?" The fleet soldiers of Mind Earth were equally puzzled.
"What? They've retreated? Does that mean we can retreat too?" The Gene Earth fleet soldiers, who were waiting for reinforcements, were filled with excitement.
"Yay! Time to go home and have braised chicken wings!"
And so, a very strange scene unfolded on the battlefield.
The mechanical Earth fleet, which had been chasing and attacking the Mind Earth fleet just a moment ago, suddenly changed direction and fled back as if its life depended on it.
Then, the Gene Earth fleet, which had been watching the show from the sidelines, saw the Mechanical Earth fleet fleeing and assumed that the Mind Earth side had gained some great advantage. So they immediately set off in their flagship, intending to beat the fleeing enemy to a pulp.
The fleet from the mechanical Earth was furious when they saw this.
Dude, we just received orders to retreat. It's not like we lost the battle. What the hell are you chasing after?
Then, the mechanical Earth fleet, which had already fled halfway, turned its cannons around and bombarded the gene Earth fleet.
As several dazzling fireworks exploded in space, the Gene Earth fleet began to take over the position of the Mind Earth fleet, and was chased and attacked by the enemy.
"Should we go up and help?"
The command center of Mind Earth fell silent as the Gene Earth fleet was brutally beaten.
Although I don't know exactly what happened, at least I'm finally not going to get beaten up anymore.
"Don't be so helpful! When we were getting beaten up, did they help us? Now they deserve to be beaten, so we won't help them!"
With the order to remain stationary given, the attacked forces transformed from a mental fleet into a genetic fleet.
It was as if the two sides had planned it beforehand, taking turns attacking the mechanical fleet.
Meanwhile, on Mechanical Earth, the orders were to avoid engaging the Psychic Fleet as much as possible. So, seeing that the Psychic Fleet made no further moves, they fought even more recklessly.
Gene Earth had previously deployed genetic weapons in their territory, but Mechanical Earth had been busy dealing with Mind Earth and did not want to offend both sides at the same time, so it had never had a chance to deal with Gene Earth.
Now that's great, they finally have a chance to make their move.
If I don't dare to attack the Earth of the Mind, why wouldn't I dare to attack you?
Three destroyers led the way, relentlessly pursuing the gene-engineered fleet and tearing pieces of flesh from their ranks.
The gene fleet originally came to the battlefield just to watch the show, and their support earlier was just for show.
The entire fleet formation, except for the flagship which was equipped with two heavy flash cannons, consisted entirely of ships armed with guard cannons.
What's the point of fighting? The enemy's destroyers have a longer range than our cruise fleet, and we're practically being chased all the way.
Ultimately, after losing 12 ships, the gene fleet fled back like stray dogs.
If it weren't for the defensive overlords deployed in space by Gene Earth, the mechanical fleet, given its current momentum, would have already invaded the enemy's homeland to conduct combat.
But nothing on the battlefield could affect Lin Xuan at this moment.
At this moment, he was attending a technical exchange meeting in the divine realm.
"The local authorities just informed us that the research output efficiency of the Divine Realm this month is too low. If the Divine Realm cannot achieve the expected results next month, they will cut 20% of the Divine Realm's research funding."
The Bu Territory is one of the three giants of the Mind Earth Government. Unlike the Divine Realm, which is in charge of scientific research and the military, the Bu Territory is mainly responsible for financial expenditures and government personnel appointments.
As the god of wealth, the other two families had to give Bu some face.
After all, everyone is hoping that the local government will allocate more funds to their departments, so they can't afford to offend this benefactor.
However, these words still provoked dissatisfaction among some people.
"Scientific research output? It's not as simple as they say. Scientific research isn't like farming, where seeds are planted and will naturally grow in time. I don't think the Divine Realm should have its funding cut even if there's no scientific research output for three to five years. If they're going to hold the entire Divine Realm accountable just because we don't have new scientific research output, then I'm willing to be the first to resign. Let whoever wants to do this job do it!"
"Yes, if they think it's easy, let them try it themselves."
This sparked a huge wave of discussion, with many people echoing the sentiment.
It seems that everyone has been disgusted by the superior-to-subordinate tone of Bu Judi's speech for quite some time now.
"Quiet!"
The research team leader tapped on the table and waited for everyone to quiet down before speaking again.
"Regarding the scientific research, I will negotiate with the people in their respective jurisdictions. The reason for bringing this up at this meeting is simply to encourage everyone to take your work seriously. You are all outstanding individuals and should be aware of the pressure that the Mechanical Earth has recently placed on us."
"Their hacking has become more and more frequent in recent years. If we don't find a good solution, our fleet will always be in a passive and defensive position."
Space-scale fleet warfare is essentially information warfare.
Knowing the enemy's location in advance gives you a decisive advantage.
However, due to differences in technological development, the mechanical Earth often finds out the location of the other two civilizations' fleets before the other two civilizations, which is very frustrating.
Unless the fleet size difference is more than double, in a war, it will be the fleets of both civilizations that suffer losses.
Therefore, the vassal states have to continuously allocate funds to the divine realm to mass produce troops.
If the other side sends one ship, we have to send two or three more. Who can afford such a huge financial expenditure?
What's most disgusting is that if the ships of Mind Earth were to engage in a real one-on-one battle, they would be completely capable of crushing the ships of Mechanical Earth.
Therefore, their ships are very expensive to build, and even more expensive to maintain.
Knowing this, Mechanical Earth never engages in direct combat with the fleet of Mind Earth, but instead uses its superior vision to wage guerrilla warfare against them.
I'll fire a shot and move to a different spot. If I'm unlucky and the enemy detects me beforehand, I'll at most destroy one or two ships.
But if I replace one of your ships, you'll lose a fortune, and you'll be heartbroken when you get back.
Therefore, unless the location of the enemy is already known, the Mind Fleet will not send large ships such as battleships or aircraft carriers out of port.
For no other reason than that losing one of my ships is truly painful.
This is also one of the main reasons why the Bu territory would attribute the blame to their divine research department.
Because military spending cannot be reduced, anyone who proposes to reduce military spending at this time will be treated as a traitor.
However, the Enlightened Law Division has nothing to do with this matter, so after going around in circles, the blame still has to be shifted to the Divine Realm. It's just that the divination territory has clearly marked the target of the blame shifting.
It's because your divine realm's scientific research capabilities are too weak that your fleet is constantly detected by the enemy and then ambushed.
This reason sounds reasonable at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it's utter nonsense.
The tech tree was initially decided by three government departments, but now the Divine Realm is being blamed. Why not say that the Enlightenment Bureau failed to manage the rampant spread of divine authority and faith, which resulted in the Divine Realm's technology lacking sufficient defenses against hacker intrusion?
"If you have any thoughts, please feel free to speak them."
The research team leader got straight to the point. He knew that this was not something they could resolve by simply having a meeting, but since the other party had shifted the blame onto him, he couldn't explain himself to the higher-ups of the Divine Realm without holding a meeting to make a show of it.
"I have an idea."
Just when the research team leader thought the meeting was about to end in silence, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the speaker.
The other person looked very young, probably only in their twenties or thirties, with the typical features of a science and engineering guy.
His attire was rather casual, which seemed somewhat incongruous with his appearance, as if his face had been borrowed from someone else.
"Who is this……"
The research team leader glanced at everyone present, and soon, Qiao Yajie quickly stood up to introduce them.
"This is Bai Bing, a Level 2 Researcher who was newly transferred to our department yesterday."
"Oh, Mr. Bai Bing, please tell me your thoughts."
Lin Xuan stood ramrod straight, his gaze sweeping over the crowd looking at him.
"Since our location is always known to the enemy first, why not try to increase the speed of the fleet's engines? Knowing the location is one thing, reacting is another. You have always had a misconception: why do you have to fight a vision war with the enemy? Since we are not technologically superior in this aspect, why not try a blitzkrieg and turn the tide of the war in our favor!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
Some people pondered the feasibility of this matter, while others looked on with disdain, believing that what Bai Bing said was a complete fantasy.
The research team leader did not immediately refute Lin Xuan, but instead smiled.
“Mr. Bai Bing, since you dare to propose this plan, I suppose you must also have a corresponding solution.”
"nature."
A confident smile appeared on Lin Xuan's face.
"You... no, we made a teleportation device for the shuttle a few years ago. The principle is to decompose and reassemble objects to achieve the effect of space travel. This thing is very interesting. I tried it out and it can be used on the fleet."
"Let the mechanical Earth experience what time travel is like!"
"This……"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
“Mr. Bai Bing, if I may be so bold, your idea is indeed feasible, but the technology of disassembly and reassembly is only applicable to inanimate objects. If it is used on a fleet, the crew members inside the ship will die on the spot without the enemy even having to lift a finger.”
“I know that, so… why don’t you try using computing power to remotely control a fleet?”
