The Sixth Preparation Plan

  Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and put those distracting thoughts behind him. He said loudly: "Everyone, let's start. As soon as possible, first cut off part of the power supply, only keep a small part of the electronic equipment running, and cut off external communications!"

  Then several soldiers who followed behind them directly disconnected the main cables and 6 spare cables inside the spacecraft after some inspections. The spacecraft lost power, and then there was a soft "click" sound, and the backup battery was powered on again. These original safety designs turned into trouble.

  "Report! We expect to be able to remove all backup batteries and stop most of the equipment within 3 minutes!"

  "knew."

  In addition to power outages, the second method of defense against digital viruses is Internet isolation, cutting off communications and preventing the spread. This is also a double-edged sword that kills a hundred enemies and damages one thousand. In order to prevent virus intrusion, all communication devices such as headphones and Bluetooth in the power armor have been removed, making communication very difficult. Fortunately, there is air inside the spacecraft, so sounds can barely be transmitted out, and communication can only be done through primitive methods such as yelling or telegraphs.

  Without high-tech communications, the level of human warfare has regressed to the time of World War I.

  Nowadays, people use multi-layered technologies to defend against digital viruses, and there is also a certain degree of physical isolation. The detection robot in front first sends the communication signal to signal base station A, then base station A sends it to spacecraft B, and B sends it to spacecraft C. There are several detection links in between. Each link has different audit methods and different security mechanisms. Even if one of them is infected, it will not affect the whole.

  And whether digital viruses can spread over a distance of dozens of astronomical units is also a question.

  According to the test data of the "Millennium Worm" virus, the distance it can spread is only a few light seconds at most. There is a lot of electromagnetic noise in the universe. The farther the distance, the greater the interference and the weaker the propagation ability.

  As for the rest, the better way is to use various technical protection methods.

  For example, "Protection Lock" is a digital virus defense measure developed by Unreal Labs. It consists of a biological brain and 17 physical inspection devices. Basically every supercomputer has this kind of hardware installed.

  People only know that it can crack the "Millennium Bug" very easily. No one is sure whether it is useful for other digital viruses.

  There is also the "overload computing system", which is a technology that consumes all the computing power of a computer in an instant. By squeezing the computing power, it instantly kills the "ten thousand year old bug". It is a technology that fights virus with fire.

  These technologies are related to the virtual world and are basically not open to foreign trade. Zhang Yuan is not sure what is going on with the people in the hemisphere and whether the defense measures are sufficient.

  After a few minutes, seeing that the power was almost out, Zhang Yuan said: "Let's get started."

  A staff member took out a special computer from the trunk he was carrying, connected it to the signal base station, took a deep breath, and pressed one of the buttons.

  The screen jumped instantly.

  It doesn't matter if you don't check the result, you will be shocked if you check it!

  There are weird and complex codes inside many "protection lock" programs, and these codes are all very strange digital signals...

  This automatically generated number jumps densely and does not seem to affect the operation of the signal base station itself.

  Zhang Yuan's face turned green when he saw this scene. He was shocked and frightened. Several young people following him also jumped up instantly and hit the spacecraft deck!

  "Digital virus, really a digital virus!"

  They felt a little fussy at first, and felt that the higher-ups in the civilization made such a big fuss because of a little suspicion, and they were a little disapproving, but now...

  At the thought of the possibility of this thing wreaking havoc within civilization, everyone felt their scalps go numb and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

  Now the size of the new human civilization is not what it was before, with only one or two spaceships, but two battle stars!

  If a digital virus really spreads wildly on the Internet, it will be too difficult to truly extinguish the virus. Moreover, humans still know nothing about this virus. No one knows what its characteristics are or when it will fully attack...

  "Don't be nervous yet."

  Zhang Yuan swallowed his saliva and did a small experiment. He turned on the power of another signal base station again.

  This supercomputer began to operate normally.

  After the power is cut off and reconnected, the automatic code generation function inside the "protection lock" disappears and becomes a series of rigid data...

  It shows that these things also follow the fundamentals of digital viruses. Once they are "dead", they cannot "come back to life" again.

  He turned his head deeply and said loudly: "Turn off all communication devices inside the spacecraft and use light signals..."

"Notify the rear and use the sixth preparation plan!"

  The sixth preparation plan? !

  A soldier nearby was stunned for a moment, then immediately saluted and shouted: "Yes!"

  The Sixth Preparation Plan is the highest level preparation plan in military exercises. It is a preparation plan specifically designed to deal with digital viruses and biological viruses. It is equivalent to isolating the entire population, interrupting communications, cutting off power, and almost all industries are stopped, leaving only The most basic part of survival!

  This is quite dangerous for a civilization. Losing communication in the universe is no different from a normal person losing his eyes, ears, mouth and other senses. It means that he can only be beaten but cannot fight back.

  Who knows if there are any enemies in this ghost place?

  But there is no way. We must race against time now. One minute late may be really late!

  The lights of this small spaceship flashed a few times.

  Immediately afterwards, the rear personnel received the message, and then after sending the last message, they cut off the contact with each other.

  The Hemisphere scientists on the other base station were simply dumbfounded. They recognized what the light communication meant, and when they wanted to ask a few more questions, they discovered that the power supply at the New Human Civilization had been cut off. Various lights on the Kyushu began to go out.

  In fact, they didn't detect anything. In their eyes, all the machines were normal...

  Since the technological systems of the two sides were different, the deployment of human experts from the past was of little use.

  "what happened?"

  "Sir...sir? Our scientists haven't sent a signal yet."

  The hemisphere people gathered around to discuss were all in a state of sluggishness.

  This kind of power outage causes huge economic losses, especially in many automation industries. Once the power is disconnected, the entire batch of products will be scrapped, and restarting requires a lot of manpower and material resources. There are also some people in the elevator who might be trapped, causing social chaos.

  Promis, the leader of the Hemispheres, shook his head violently. Now was not the time to think about the economy. Now that the new human civilization has begun to shrink, they must also shrink. If something happens, their hemispheric civilization will not be able to withstand it.

  "Turn off the power, let's do the same! And let the Karina battle star behind also cut off the power!"

  "Execute, execute quickly!"

  "yes!"

  After a moment of turmoil, the battle star "Karina" behind the civilization in the hemisphere also entered a dark state.

  Three huge battle stars, one in front and two in the back, were floating in the outer area of ​​the planetary system, and all the originally lively activity places became quiet.

  Various weapons have lost their luster, and all the muscles are of no use.

  Inside the battle star, naturally, everything was in a state of turmoil.

  "Emergency evacuation notice, this is not a drill! This is not a drill!"

  "Emergency evacuation notice, all personnel should evacuate to their respective shelters! People trapped in the elevator, please don't panic, the rescue team is on the way!"

  "Emergency evacuation notice, this is not a drill!"

  "what happened?"

  "Don't worry about it for now, just do it!"

  The people didn't even know what was happening, so they all started to evacuate. Fortunately, similar exercises have been conducted many times, and there was not much chaos during the period. This can be regarded as the standard quality requirement for interstellar citizens.

  At the communication spacecraft on the front line, Zhang Yuan and others were also constantly checking the characteristics of this new digital virus.

  Strangely, its infectivity does not seem to be strong, it is much weaker than the previous "10,000-year-old" virus, and the surrounding electronic equipment has not been infected on a large scale. I think of the million-year-old bug back then, which would immediately paralyze it upon encountering it, but the one we encountered now didn't seem to be very contagious.
