10 hours

  Ichiro Yamamoto, an expert in the virtual world, inspected it for a long time and said: "This digital virus is very complex, much more complicated than the ten thousand year old bug. Because of this, its infectivity is actually much lower. The virus inside the base station The 'protection lock' hindered the spread of the virus to a certain extent and delayed us."

  "There may still be characteristics that we don't understand. But now that the virus is 'dead', it is difficult to detect more things, unless we find a way to get some living ones."

  Zhang Yuan shook his head: "Besides, it's too dangerous. We have to rule out the possibility of infection on the equipment on the battle star."

  At this point, he suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed, "We have a protective lock device, but hemispheric civilization disease does not... Maybe the digital virus has spread on their planet!"

  He quickly turned around and asked, "What's going on with the civilizations in the hemisphere?"

  A soldier immediately replied: "The entire area has been cut off, including the battle stars in the rear... Their security personnel couldn't find anything, but they copied our work."

  "That's good, they are quite smart."

  Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. If the Hemisphere's battle star suddenly lost control, it would be a big trouble for humans.

  In the face of mysterious digital viruses, hemispheric civilizations do not have as mature tool systems as humans, so they can only catch people blind. Apart from plagiarizing the work of new human civilizations, there seems to be no particularly good way. But as long as you copy the homework, with the mobility of a person with half a hemisphere, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

  Everyone hurriedly studied for more than ten minutes, but in such a short time, they could not figure out the reason.

  Zhang Yuan sighed: "Forget it, we won't be able to decipher this series of digital information for a while. The level of civilization is one level higher, which is really overwhelming!"

  "But now, we can be sure that this mysterious digital virus has caused a lot of trouble to the Thos civilization."

  "These viruses quietly infected our detection robots, and also tried to infect us along the electromagnetic waves. There were no symptoms at all... A 10-hour journey at the speed of light would be terrifying. If it weren't for the Thos civilization, The precedent is placed in front of us, which arouses our greatest vigilance, maybe we will also be tricked."

  "Let's go back quickly!"

  The spacecraft slowly landed on the surface. Since the information control center on the ground was temporarily closed and there were only some light indicators, it was really difficult for the driver to manually pilot such a large spacecraft.

  There was a loud "bang" sound, and the moment he landed, Zhang Yuan's body shook violently, feeling that his whole bones were about to fall apart. He even had a wonderful illusion that the spacecraft was infected with a virus and he was here.

  Fortunately, he was wearing a safety belt, so there was no safety problem.

  "How is it? Is there really a digital virus?!" One of the security experts rushed to the front, holding a large display sign with this line of text displayed on it. Without headphones, others can't hear what you say in a vacuum. This kind of text display is actually faster.

  Zhang Yuan nodded.

  He pointed to the computer in his hand again. When the receptionist outside saw the messy numbers on the screen, he couldn't help but swallowed hard.

  This is a digital virus!

  A mysterious and difficult-to-understand existence!

  Any protection protocols and firewalls are vulnerable to digital viruses. It's as ridiculous as trying to stop a bullet with an ordinary piece of A4 paper. The only real defense is the biological brain and some special physical architecture mechanisms.

  Digital life, like normal life, distinguishes between survival and death. It may be an intermediate state between life and non-life, and is a link in the "universe black box"...

  The group did not have time to rest, and returned to the large conference room. Captain Feng couldn't wait to ask the question in his mind: "Everyone, what should we do next? When can the emergency safety function on the planet be restarted? Now it is interrupted. It's too dangerous to use the electricity, it's no different than losing one eye!"

  "If the enemy attacks, we'll probably be doomed!"

  "10 hours! We only have 10 hours! No, three hours have passed and now there are only seven."

  The propagation speed of information in the universe is limited. After 10 hours, the enemy hidden in the Toss civilization base will find that the three distant battle stars have turned off and lost power. Then it will be the best time to launch an attack.

  Moreover, the 10-hour safety premise is that the other party does not have the ability to observe faster than the speed of light.

  "So, we must find out the truth about Toss civilization as soon as possible...and..."

  She said almost word for word: "In 10 hours, there is no possibility that we will be attacked!!"

  "We have to turn the power back on within 10 hours!"

  All electronics were turned off, leaving only the bright backup lights overhead. Without electromagnetic communication, human beings have returned to the most ancient times, and they can only speak by roaring.

  Zhang Yuan sweated in his heart. He was not too sure: "Don't be so anxious. We discovered it not too late, almost immediately! If it had been a few hours later, say You might really suffer a disaster! First check whether the surrounding computers are infected with viruses. If not, the internal security function of the battle star can be restarted immediately."

  He quickly assigned some security teams to conduct a comprehensive investigation.

  After about 5 hours of work, except for some communication devices, people did not find too many viruses left in the internal facilities of the battle star.

  This made the internal information security staff feel ashamed and relieved at the same time.

  They really can't find "live" viruses, they can only find dead ones. Human technology is really not as advanced as imagined.

  "What a careless thing!" The professor in charge of information security was ashamed.

  Zhang Yuan comforted him and said: "This is a good thing. It means that there are more things in the universe that we don't know, and it means that we still have room for progress."

  On the other hand, the signal center of the hemispheric civilization is in chaos. Due to the weak defense of their signal base station, the virus has completely taken over, and some robots have even lost control. These robots did not rebel directly, but began to walk randomly, as if the virus was adapting to the entire operating system.

  All this caused the researchers inside to panic. After some chaos, the robots were recaptured.

  Fortunately, the planet "Kyushu" is a battle star that New Humanity belongs to. The control center set up by the hemispheric civilization in Kyushu is just a simple signal receiving station. It does not have large-scale broadcast capabilities. Even if it is poisoned in advance, it will not spread. .

  These viruses captured by the control center have become very good research objects.

  This news gave everyone a long sigh of relief.

  "Yamamoto, you lead people to study the captured digital viruses and are allowed to use P4 level technology."

  "knew!"

  After this, a full 9 hours have passed.

  The staff is still exploring the entire battle star over and over again. This kind of pressure is really too great. Thinking of the digital virus disaster that has happened in the past, everyone's heart is heavy. In addition, after an hour, enemies may appear, which is too dangerous!

  It wasn't until the last 10 minutes that Zhang Yuan, who was in charge of the emergency investigation, breathed a sigh of relief.

  "Everyone, the basic investigation results are out. The spread ability of the digital virus has not been fully spread to our battle stars. The main reason is because it was discovered in time."

  "After the crisis is eliminated, many functions can be restarted, including the two battle stars in the rear, and some work can be resumed. As long as the safety level is not lowered..."

  "Connect the power and turn on some functions!"

  At the same time, he turned his attention to the base of the Toss civilization, and based on the digital viruses discovered so far, he speculated that those large salamanders might really suffer.
