Chapter 457 Finally Came In
In the dark pipe, the huge bug was moving forward at the speed of an ordinary human being running at full speed. Soon the bug crawled to the end of the pipe, where there was a huge sealed box.
The bugs penetrated into the box along the pipe, but they encountered a sealing ring. The sealing ring is made of rubber and has twisted metal wire inside as a reinforcement. The main function of this thing is to prevent moisture, but the hardness is not low. However, no matter how hard it is, it is just rubber and metal wire. I saw the insect studying the sealing ring for a while, then suddenly opened its pliers-like mouth and gnawed on it, tearing the sealing ring open in twos and twos, and then got in.
After entering the inside of the box, the cable sheath with anti-intrusion optical fiber extending in reaches the end, and the light rays derived from the sheath are connected to their respective repeaters. However, although the cable lost its protection here, the big bug did not attack the cable. Instead, it climbed directly to the relay computer next to it, which was as big as a refrigerator. After crawling around this thing for a few times, the big centipede-like insect found a metal guard plate and started biting it.
The stainless steel plate was like printing paper under the insect's mouth. It could only be said to be slightly hard. It tore a big hole very easily, and then the insect penetrated into the computer through the hole.
Although they are big, everything inside the computer actually looks the same. Inside this metal shell are large stacked circuit boards. If you look closely, you will find that they are almost the same as the motherboards of ordinary home computers, except that they are missing some things.
In fact, these things are originally produced on the home computer motherboard production line, and they are simpler than the home computer motherboard. Because it is a special device, some functions are used a lot, so it is simplified directly. But because the production line is the same. Therefore, there is almost no difference between other structure and home machine specifications.
Of course, the performance of this thing is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary home machines, because it uses multiple motherboards, and each motherboard has a processor, which means that this thing is actually equivalent to parallel processing composed of several computers. device.
A giant centipede-like insect crawls around on these motherboards and touches various circuit components with the two tentacles on its head from time to time. Then, as if it had chosen something, it quickly climbed onto one of the motherboards, and then found a slot interface that was not connected to any external devices. Then it carefully inserted a row of abdominal legs on its side into the slot one after another. The metal pieces inside are docked.
When the big centipede's legs were inserted into these slots, the big centipede quickly twisted its body, turning the free front half of its body to the other side to a sixteen-pin socket near the chip, and then carefully removed the 16-pin socket near the head. Sixteen legs were inserted into it. In the end, this guy used his tentacles to wrap around a four-pin power supply port not far away.
When the tentacles touched the power supply port, the big centipede was like a light bulb. Ice-blue light began to light up in the gaps on its body, and the light quickly spread from the eyes of the head to the tip of the tail. Finally, it raised the two tentacles on its tail that were similar to those on its head and stopped moving.
Almost at the same time that the giant centipede-like insect completed its connection work. Xiaochun suddenly turned to me and said: "Okay. The data repeater is connected. Wait a minute, I'm getting permission. Oh, the defense here is pretty good. The repeater actually uses a minicomputer. What a luxury. .”
After hearing Xiao Chun's words, he said directly to Ling: "Ling, connect with Xiao Chun. Process in parallel, we are in a hurry."
After hearing my order, Ling directly pulled out the data interface on the back of his neck and plugged it into the interface on the back of Xiao Chun's neck without saying a word. Then Ling and Xiao Chun became quiet at the same time, but Xiao Chun spoke again about five seconds later. "Okay. The quantum code has been cracked and we have access. However, the security network and the data center are separated. We still need to enter the internal physical connection data center."
I nodded and said, "Let's go."
Ling pulled out the connection cable and started to move forward along the ventilation duct with me. At this time, the laser walls in the ventilation duct had been extinguished. We could go through these ventilation ducts like a road to reach wherever we want to go. Of course, the premise is that the ventilation ducts also reach those places.
To be honest, we really brought a lot of equipment this time. For example, now, we do not crawl slowly in the ventilation duct, because that is not only inefficient, but also easy to make noise. We actually move more quietly because we use skateboards.
This is actually a specialized piece of equipment, but it was originally used by plumbers. Natural gas or oil pipelines require regular inspections, but these pipelines obviously cannot have entrances and exits everywhere for you to enter and exit, so inspectors can only enter the inside of the pipeline through the passage opening of the pressurized relay station. But whether it is an oil pipeline or a natural gas pipeline, the diameter is not large enough for people to stand up and walk inside. In fact, most pipes are difficult to crawl through. But the specialty of human beings is to use their brains, so there is this kind of skateboard.
The structure of this unpowered skateboard is very simple, consisting of four wheels plus a telescopic steel frame and movable joints. Because the steel frame is telescopic, the wheel base can be adjusted to match the size of the pipe, while movable joints allow the scooter to negotiate curves. All the maintenance personnel need to do is lie down on the scooter, and then support the front pipe wall with their hands. Anyway, the weight is carried by the car body, and the hand strength is only responsible for providing forward power, so this thing runs very fast in the pipe. Of course, this is still the simplest one, and in fact, a more complex scooter will be used in the maintenance of some large pipelines. The scooter is self-powered and comes with additional oxygen bottles and various tools. Of course, this scooter is slightly larger and smaller pipes cannot fit inside.
What we are using now is actually the simplest one, which requires manual sliding, but this thing is at least much faster than climbing by yourself, and the most important thing is that the special soft wheels can move in the ventilation duct completely silently.
Don't be superstitious about the scenes in movies about sneaking secretly in ventilation ducts. In fact, stainless steel ventilation ducts are basically the same type of things as gongs. They will jingle at the slightest touch, and because the airtight ducts The reason for resonance is that sound can travel very far. Unless you move at the speed of a turtle in a place like this, even the elderly with hearing loss will notice the sound.
With the help of a special scooter, we moved in the ventilation duct at a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour. This speed is already very exaggerated for the duct. Thanks to this speed we quickly found the marked entrance and exit. The location of this entrance and exit was provided by the Americans. They have detailed drawings here. This location should be the closest entrance to the spacecraft that we can safely reach. However, there is a small problem that needs to be solved to get out from here, that is, this damn vent exit is hanging upside down from the ceiling of a warehouse that is more than ten meters high. Although this height will not threaten our safety, we can jump directly. The movement will definitely alarm those nearby, so you need to carefully consider how to go down. (To be continued ~^~)
