Chapter Four Hundred and Twelve: Closing and Aftermath
Three days passed in a hurry.
Army Ant Headquarters.
Zhao Min watched all kinds of news leisurely.
Since the computer network security team successfully developed the software to remove "Satan", her mood is getting better day by day.
Now she is completely like an outsider, watching the open and secret battles of all parties.
The 'Satan' virus incident has risen to the level of a game between various countries. Immortals fight, and mortals like them don't dare to approach to avoid harming Chiyu.
Zhao Min doesn't know what kind of battle is going on in private. During this period, the Army Ant Company was very interesting and low-key, and did not accept any interviews from the outside world.
The island country is in a bad state now, and the island country government is trying its best to appease the people.
After the truth came out, the U.S. sanctions on Army Ant became embarrassing. Under the pressure of demonstrations by citizens in earthquake-prone areas, the U.S. government revoked the sanctions on Army Ant, but privately still restricted Army Ant from entering the U.S. market.
At the same time, they also sent people to contact the army ants again, hoping to re-fulfill the seismograph order.
On the Internet, the abuse, scolding and attacks on Marching Ant Company also disappeared, leaving only a few bits and pieces, which can be ignored.
It has been more than half a month since the virus raged, and the most profitable company is the Army Ant Company.
The market share of the termite intelligent operating system has grown exponentially in the past two weeks, accounting for half of the computer operating system.
Because the termite system cannot be cracked and pirated at present, Microsoft's is still dominant in the most basic market share.
However, the ultra-high security has spread the name of the termite system in the global corporate office and high-end markets, and its market share also occupies a dominant position.
Even in the United States, which restricts Army Ant's entry into the market, many companies have privately purchased and installed the termite operating system. They don't want to suffer the next time a crisis arises.
And the office software, office notebooks and computers of Marching Ant Company also sold amazingly.
It can be said that Army Ant Company has made a lot of money in this crisis, and the attack on Army Ant Company on the Internet has little impact.
After the security team developed the killing program,
Zhao Min has not been in a hurry to announce it, because she needs the truth. Before the outside world gives the truth to the army ants, she will not release the program easily.
Now that the truth has come out, it is time to resolve this cybersecurity crisis. If we drag it on, the appetite will be too great, but it will be counterproductive.
"It's time to update the company's antivirus software and announce to the public that we have successfully developed software to remove the 'Satan' virus." Zhao Min picked up the phone and gave instructions.
...
Ji Baihe looked at the computer in front of him in anguish, and it was still a human face made up of cold numbers. He is one of the millions of tragic people infected with the "Satan" virus, but he has nowhere to complain.
The Satan virus is raging. It has been more than half a month. He has been paying attention to the latest news every day, but there is still no effective way. The only way is to format the computer hard drive and reinstall the system.
But this is his office computer.
In the computer, there are still some data that have not been backed up, the most important of which are the design drawings that he has worked hard for three months.
After contracting the virus, he wanted to draw more drawings, but time was running out. If the computer's 'Satan' virus can't be removed, he's in trouble.
In another week, the drawings will be submitted. If it cannot be completed, the breach of contract will cause losses to the company, and whether his job can be saved is still a problem. Now that the father is sick, and the child has to study, he has become the pillar of the family. If he loses his job, it will be a disaster for his family.
Ding dong!
When Ji Baihe was distressed, the frantic message on WeChat brought him back to his senses. As soon as I opened it, I saw a message sent by a colleague in the group.
Army Ant Company successfully developed a program to remove the 'Satan' virus!
Seeing this news, Ji Baihe's pupils shrank, and his distressed face became ecstatic, almost jumping up: "March ants, I love you to death."
Ji Baihe swears that if he successfully removes the virus from the computer this time, he will immediately buy two laptops from the Army Ant Company. This is a timely rain.
After reading the announcement of the Army Ant Company, Ji Baihe used another laptop with the termite system installed to log in to the official website of the Army Ant Company, and follow the instructions in the announcement to download the latest antivirus software to a blank U disk.
After the download was completed, Ji Baihe took the U disk with trembling hands and inserted it into the virus-infected computer, and began to read the software in the U disk according to the instructions.
Ten minutes later, Ji Baihe cried with joy when he saw that the digital face mask disappeared on the computer desktop and all the files were intact.
The data and blueprints are preserved, and the work is preserved.
This scene takes place in every corner of the world.
The news of Army Ant's successful development of a scavenger program spread like great news in the depressed internet world.
"The marching ants are awesome!"
"This time, the antivirus software is free for three days. The army ant company has a conscience. Those who have sprayed army ants before, all of you should die."
"We seem to owe the Army Ant an apology."
"The marching ants don't need your trolls' apology. When you don't know the truth, you spout rashly. Now I'm thinking of an apology. The marching ants don't need your disgusting apology."
"Thank you Army Ant for recovering millions of data for me. I swear that I will be a loyal fan of Army Ant in the future."
Army Ant Company announced the killing method of 'Satan virus', which once again leaked its face on a global scale.
The army ants who were wronged before stood up at the most critical moment.
After getting the news, many people downloaded a copy of the anti-virus software from Army Ant, just in case.
Marching Ant updated the company's anti-virus software, bringing an end to this Internet security turmoil.
But the private "sequelae" is not over yet, due to the terrifying destructive power of the "smart virus". The five countries of the Security Council have incorporated Internet security and artificial intelligence into the scope of security management, and are discussing and formulating rules for the development of artificial intelligence in the future.
...
In Sanya, Nanhai, Chen Mo looked at Li Chengzhi in surprise. Now that he was still on his honeymoon, he didn't expect that Li Chengzhi would come here to find him.
"You want the code for the Termite System Smart Firewall and the code for the antivirus software?"
"Yes. There is not so good news. Now the United States and Russia are on one side, the European bloc, which is united by Britain, Germany and France, and the island countries. We are excluded from the negotiation. The four sides compromise and get the 'Satan' code. We don't." Li Chengzhi's face was very cautious and a little unhappy.
Chen Mo nodded, this is not surprising.
This kind of joint check and balance between them is no longer a secret, and those people will definitely not miss any opportunity to restrict them.
"You know what 'Satan' is, right?"
"Artificial intelligence." Chen Mo answered without hesitation.
"You sure know."
Li Chengzhi was not too surprised. There are many people who know that "Satan" is artificial intelligence, but there is no such news on the Internet. It is the result of deliberate guidance by various countries.
"Now there is a problem. From this disaster in the island country, it can be seen that if 'Satan' is used as a weapon, it is also a big problem, like an online 'cannon battle'.
The other four parties have this weapon, but we don't. But you have a shield in your hand, which is the intelligent firewall technology and killing software of the termite system. We intend to use these two technologies for in-depth development research as defensive weapons in possible future cyber warfare. "
Li Chengzhi told Chen Mo the above thoughts.
The Quartet that obtained the source code of 'Amaterasu' has begun to mobilize personnel to invest in development.
To master this technique is to master the initiative in future struggles. Once there is a conflict between the two sides, the cyber war will take the lead and paralyze the domestic network of the opponent. That is the disaster of the island country today.
In order to get defensive weapons, Li Chengzhi had to come to Chen Mo.
They are developed by researchers and can certainly be developed, but it takes a lot of manpower and time. In the current research process, time is the most important.
"This is also a kind of disguised defense of the family and the country, I naturally won't refuse." Chen Mo nodded.
This is his home country, he has the ability and will definitely help. So many technologies have cooperated, and he doesn't care about the technology of intelligent firewall and anti-virus software.
No one knows the horror of artificial intelligence better than him.
This time, the 'Satan virus' is the 'nuclear' of the Internet age. When uncontrolled, it is as destructive as an 'atomic bomb' and can quickly make a heavy price to the opponent; It can bring leap-forward development to human society.
This is the duality of artificial intelligence, and Mo Nv has this ability.
That's why he felt pity for not being able to destroy the source code of 'Amaterasu'.
After Chen Mo's affirmative answer, Li Chengzhi smiled.
"It's very passive when there are defensive means, what about the checks and balances?" Chen Mo asked.
"Not yet, this will definitely have to be developed."
"Actually, 'Satan' is a runaway artificial intelligence. I don't know Xia Wa's progress, but I feel that Xia Wa's intelligence is no lower than that of 'Satan'. Once Xia Wa loses control of the Internet, it will have the same effect. Relatively mature artificial intelligence will be better than 'Satan'. 'Satan' inherits the spread of the 'clown virus', if you need to check and balance weapons, you can use the clown virus as a basis for research."
"Do you have the source code of the clown virus?" Li Chengzhi asked curiously.
"You forgot the accident of the Jiangnan virus? It was the predecessor of the 'clown virus'. The girl who made the accident is now an engineer of our company. The source code of the Jiangnan virus contains a smart program, the spread of the clown virus. Sex comes from that intelligent program."
Chen Mo naturally dare not say that he has the clown virus, otherwise he can't explain how these viruses came from.
If people think that he has something to do with the clown organization, then he will be in big trouble.
"That's it." Li Chengzhi nodded gratefully.
With a R&D direction, they can definitely save a lot of development time. At this time, time is important.
"The code of the smart firewall and anti-virus software, you go to Zhao Min tomorrow, and she will give it to you."
"Okay, then I won't disturb your honeymoon."
Li Chengzhi stood up from his position with a happy expression on his face. This time he has gained a lot, and he does not have to worry about being unable to cope with the future attack of the "smart virus" on the domestic Internet.
"Before you come, the chief asked me to bring you a belated blessing, happy wedding."
"thanks."
