Chapter 2321 Secret System "Fool"

If Lehman could figure out what he needed and what the other party was hiding, he would know what to do.

Picking up the phone, "Howard, it's me!"

"Damn it, can you please put that away? I don't need it, I don't need it!"

After a roar, Lehman got to the point, "Listen, Howard, I need the Birds to rest as soon as possible after they come back. We have to do it again."

"Of course, it may take several times until we find what we need, otherwise we won't be able to get the job done."

As soon as Lyman finished speaking, Howard screamed, "Oh my God, are you crazy? Do you know how much this is going to cost?"

"Do you know how much maintenance is required for one visit?"

"Do you know the damage caused by the last plane that crashed?"

"That's not a plane made of steel, it's made of gold."

"If there is any more loss, do you know the consequences?"

"Damn it, how dare you. That's taxpayers' money."

Lehman waited for Howard to finish speaking before he smiled and said, "Of course I know the consequences."

"If the enemy is able to shoot down the Blackbird, then such an expensive and rare reconnaissance aircraft will become obsolete."

"Who cares about an outdated toy?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then he spoke again, "The Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft needs maintenance. Every time I come back, I have to, you know, replace parts. This set of bushing parts is very troublesome."

"Well, of course I know this, because I have done purchasing. This kind of parts costs at least tens of thousands of dollars, which is indeed a bit troublesome."

"Yes, you are right."

"So, Mr. Howard, how long will it take at the earliest?"

"Half a month, half a month will definitely work."

"Okay, fly again in half a month. I'll wait for your good news."

"ok, no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Lehman showed a cruel smile, "If one time doesn't work, try twice. If two times doesn't work, try three times."

"No matter what you want to do, as long as you take action, my mission will be accomplished."

On the other side, President Peng left the command center and came to the office at the end of the corridor.

Two guards wearing black uniforms and armbands stood straight at the door. When President Peng came in, they immediately saluted.

"Is there anyone inside?"

"Yes, Chief!"

Mr. Peng nodded, then opened the door and walked in.

In the room, a middle-aged man wearing large-framed glasses was sitting there drinking tea with a calm expression.

When he heard the door open, he quickly put down the teacup, then turned around and stood up after seeing it was Mr. Peng.

"Chief!"

Mr. Peng nodded, strode over, and gestured, "Old Zheng, sit down!"

After hearing this, Lao Zheng hurriedly sat down, picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Mr. Peng, saying, "Well, our intelligence from 701 is correct, right?"

After hearing this, Mr. Peng said unhappily, "That's true, but what's the use?"

"You called me three minutes ago and I didn't even have time to react. If you were any slower, you might as well just act like Zhuge Liang."

Lao Zheng took off his glasses, blew a breath, and wiped them hard on his sleeve.

“This is the fastest one.”

"If it had been in the past, we probably wouldn't have known anything."

After hearing this, Mr. He picked up the water glass and took a sip, his expression serious.

After a long while, he spoke, "Didn't you crack the other party's code?"

"Why are you still so passive?"

"Decipher? Haha~"

Lao Zheng laughed at himself and said, "Passwords are changing and constantly improving. No one can say that they can defeat the other party."

"The only people who have such thoughts are Xiaobenzi and his friends."

“So, they lost badly.”

Mr. Peng put down the cup, leaned back in his chair and said nothing.

Lao Zheng rubbed his brows and said again, "After the previous few battles, the other party also knows our strength."

"At the same time, we are both constantly competing in attack and defense."

Having said that, Lao Zheng took out a document from the backpack beside him.

"Last time we accurately intercepted intelligence and set up a radar observation station in Dengzhou in advance, which is how we discovered the traces of the little black bird."

"But after the last time, the other party changed the code. We tried to decipher it several times, but there was no progress."

"Later, we adopted the most primitive method and divided more than a thousand people into 250 groups."

While Lao Zheng was explaining the actual situation, Mr. Peng took the information and saw only two words at the beginning: "Fool".

"It took a full thousand people thirteen hours to decipher the intelligence."

Speaking of this, Lao Zheng did not feel any sense of pride, on the contrary, he only felt deep helplessness.

“But this is just the beginning.”

"For the second intelligence, we found a way, but the other side had more encryption. One thousand people, ten hours."

"The third, fourth, and now this one, it took us eight hours to get the intelligence about the other party's deployment of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft."

“And this is our limit.”

After Lao Zheng finished speaking, Mr. Peng also finished reading the information and then asked, "What does limit mean?"

"What this means is that the encryption method used by the other party is different every time, and each time is an independent individual."

"We can only look in the right direction, but it is difficult to find the most accurate path."

After saying so much, Lao Zheng felt thirsty and poured himself some tea. “This is difficult.”

After hearing this, Mr. Peng frowned even more tightly, "This, this is different from before!"

Lao Zheng nodded, "Yes, in our cryptography world, there are two lines!"

"One is to abandon the route. Once a code is cracked, all subsequent codes will have nothing to do with this code."

"Otherwise, the other party will take advantage of it to find out what's going on."

"The other is the evolutionary route, which means that the code is alive and is constantly evolving. Although there is no fixed style, the trend of becoming perfect is certain."

"So if we understand this law, we can find a certain direction of evolution, which can be regarded as a clue to follow."

Lao Zheng acted as a popularizer of science, and then said, "But the code at the moment is neither of these two."

"no?"

"Yes, at least our staff thinks not." "Why?"

"Because this code is just a huge amount of data superimposed on each other. It doesn't look like anything advanced. It's just a pile of data, a pile of garbage."

"But if you want to find the gold in this pile of garbage, you have to clean up the garbage one by one, one bunch by one bunch, and one pile by one pile."

"And this requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it also takes time."

When Lao Zheng talked about the password he encountered this time, he felt helpless.

Because the other party didn't use anything too profound, and didn't even use the contest of human hearts.

"There is no trace of the past, no disguise of attitude, just a simple accumulation, data accumulation, calculation superposition, and a lot of encryption piled on top."

“It seems like a stupid method, but it is a very difficult thing for us.”

Mr. Peng began to understand what Lao Zheng meant.

"So, you call this code, Fools?"

"Yes, our comrades gave it the name."

"Because this encryption method does not require any technical skills at all, anyone can send it out."

"It only takes a while for the codebreaker to come up with it."

"but"

"But what we can't afford to waste the most is time."

Mr. Peng finished speaking for Lao Zheng, who nodded silently.

After a moment of silence, Mr. Peng suddenly became curious, "According to what you said, the other party will also need to find more than a thousand people to encrypt the files?"

Old Zheng was holding the cup of water and almost vomited it out in one breath.

"Commander, don't you know there is a thing called a computer?"

President Peng came back to his senses and said, "I know. Didn't the Chinese Academy of Sciences develop several of them?"

"By the way, I remember you have one in 701 too."

"You mean?"

Lao Zheng nodded, "The other party used a computer to encrypt it."

"More than a thousand?"

Lao Zheng shook his head again. "The other party's computers are developing very fast. According to informal intelligence channels, we know that the computing power of the other party's computers is about one million floating-point operations per second!"

"And the best computers we have now can't even reach 100,000 operations."

"Every second, the difference is an order of magnitude. The other side uses one machine to match our ten machines."

“Although it’s a little imprecise to say this, it’s the truth.”

"As long as they want to spend time encrypting, we need to spend ten or even a hundred times as long to decrypt."

"Besides, the consumption of computers is always an astronomical figure. They can keep them running all day long. Can we?"

"If we drive for a whole day, the whole department will have to drink cold water."

Old Zheng shrugged and said helplessly.

In the office, Mr. Peng was holding the documents with a serious expression.

Old Zheng drank his tea with a nonchalant look.

But both of them were filled with helplessness.

The other party's shameless method is to take advantage of the fact that our side does not have enough hard power.

"Damn it, you scoundrel!"

Mr. Peng cursed and Mr. Zheng sighed.

"So, if nothing unexpected happens, we'll have to wait for half a day for intelligence information from now on?"

Lao Zheng nodded, "We have tried our best, there is really nothing we can do."

"So, Mr. Peng, it depends on your command skills to defeat the opponent."

"Maybe the other party will think we have cracked it, so let them change their method. Then we still have a chance."

"Otherwise, eight hours is just the beginning, and it may be longer later."

President Peng slapped his forehead and said, "If we don't have intelligence support, we will just be fighting blindly."

What kind of art of command is that? It's just like crossing the river by feeling the stones, which is just like encountering dead rats.

It is better to hope that the enemy will make mistakes than to rely on him.

"Of course, if our computers got better, we could speed it up."

Old Zheng said slowly, but this matter can only be discussed at the end.

Because even if he said it, it would have no effect. Otherwise, why would he launch a battle with thousands of people?
After leaving the office, President Peng asked the guards to send Lao Zheng back, and then walked towards the command center.

During this conversation, the command center's phone was almost blown up.

As soon as one was put down, another one rang. As the staff member finished speaking, the other side called again to ask questions.

Before President Peng entered the command center, he heard the noise coming from inside.

Pushing the door open, President Peng looked silent.

A group of staff officers were startled and then lowered their voices unconsciously.

Walking to his seat, Mr. Peng picked up the phone.

He knew that many people were waiting for his explanation.

After the call was connected, Mr. Peng explained the situation.

The first one is about intelligence. He doesn't need to shirk responsibility, but he has to make this matter clear.

If we don't change quickly, we will only become more passive in the future.

The second is to explain why the Baiju fighter jets were not deployed.

At the moment, when accurate interception is impossible, sending out Baiju fighter jets will only expose one's own strength, which will allow the enemy to understand one's strengths and weaknesses.

On the contrary, this kind of luring but not firing will leave the other party confused.

These two explanations were quickly recognized by superiors.

Especially the second one, don't show your fist without definite guarantee.

To put it bluntly, it's because the superiors' appetites have grown.

A little black bird, not satisfying.

It would be great if we could shoot down a few more.

Therefore, the superiors and Mr. Peng are waiting for an opportunity.

The chance of one Baiju fighter increasing to fifty or even more.

By then, it will be time for them to go on stage and compete.
