v2 Chapter 137： CTOS

Many people equate geeks with hackers, but there are some differences between the two.

The word geek is derived from the American slang geek. It originally means people who have a keen interest in one or several specific fields and have invested a lot of time in research. They are mostly used in the computer field. In the early days, it also extended to a derogation of hackers.

But now, especially after the rise of a group of Silicon Valley big names such as Jobs and Gates, the word geek has been given a new meaning, and it has begun to be labeled more freely, creatively and breaking stereotypes.

Yes, geeks are such a group of people. They are adventurers on the Internet, hardware enthusiasts, hackers, communication enthusiasts, technology homes, programmers, engineers ...

"In simple terms, you can be anyone, as long as it meets our spirit, you can join the 01 guerrillas," said Philip. "Of course, the vast majority of people who join are still related to computers, although we always hope that there will be Join the girls in cheerleading or dancers. "

"........."

"We have a secret forum of our own, with our own instant messaging software. We usually discuss some technical problems on it. You can also put your own problems on it and wait for someone to answer it, or simply show off your skills. The above People are nice. "

"Is Edward also one of you?" Zhang Heng asked.

"No, Edward he ... is not ours." Ma Weidao said.

Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"About one year ago, Edward hacked into our forum and the website we built together." Valdo was still surprised when he mentioned this.

"Is it difficult?"

"Uh, it's not too difficult. It's a little simpler than hacking into the national defense system." Philip said, "The most important thing is that he did it silently. If it wasn't afterwards, he left a note. Information to us, we have no idea that he has been here. "

"what's the message?"

"In the beginning, it was just something similar to hello. You know, hackers are low-key, but in fact many of them are a group of people who are eager to pay attention, especially the more difficult the goals and the bad Where I go in, I ca n’t help but keep something after I go in. For example, I know there is a guy who slipped into the human resources system of telecommunications giant sfr and sent sfr every employee who was working overtime that night. Little red flowers. "

"what."

"That guy is the same. He left a Pac-Man pixel map, but it is very small. It is invisible in the lower right corner of the homepage. In short, it was our first encounter with Edward. Then, we reworked the firewall and encryption system, but the guy eventually managed to break in. "

"Are you angry?"

The ponytail man pushed his glasses, "Angry? No, no, this is like a fun game for us, we enjoy the feeling of playing against that guy, so we redo the forum again, but you can probably guess At that time, he beat us again ... but in the process we were all very happy, and from then on, we started to have further communication.

"We always thought that the opposite was a group like us, but the fact surprised us. The guy said that his name was Edward and he was only one person. He said he was hired by a very powerful organization and was doing a very cool job that could upend the world. The project, once successful, will change the way people live and travel, but the content and address must be kept confidential.

"In the beginning, we didn't take this matter too seriously, because you know, hackers, no one doesn't like bragging, they always brag about how powerful they were in the past, but in fact most people even They do n’t have half of it. Edward is very good. I also admit that, no, it ’s no exaggeration to say that he is the most powerful guy I have ever seen, but it ’s a bit exaggerated to subvert the world, but no matter what, we It's a new friend. "

"Every time in the future, Edward will come to our forums to brag and fart with us. Occasionally, he will also reveal some recent events, but basically it is just what skirts the executive wore today and how about lunch. He is a A guy with a contract spirit never discussed specific work. Until a month ago, we suddenly got a message from him saying that he didn't know if he was doing the right thing. "

Philip said, "I asked him what happened. Is there a lot of stress at work recently, but he didn't answer. About a week later, he suddenly contacted me and said that he escaped and had important things in his hand. I asked him what it was, and he sent me a document, and from that document, I can see that things might be a little bad. "

"How bad?"

Philip glanced from side to side and lowered his voice. "This is a project called tos. They plan to build a powerful central control system to connect all public facilities in the city to the network. It is like installing a brain for the city. Similarly, from the huge amount of data, insight into the hidden rules that cannot be found with the naked eye ~ www.novelhall.com ~ This way we can overcome the problem that in the past, decision-makers with limited information could not really find the global optimal solution. Through calculation, reallocate public resources and avoid waste.

"Let's take an analogy and connect all the intersection lights to the network. You can re-plan and calculate the optimal time allocation for each light to save travel time. At the same time, if there is an accident on the road, the city brain will directly report the alarm to the hospital. And let the ambulance arrive in the shortest possible time. "

"It sounds good."

"Yes, Edward felt the same way at first, but later he found that there are other purposes hidden behind tos. Once this system is established, not only those public facilities, it will also actively collect data information of all citizens, your phone text messages, Medical records, health insurance numbers, criminal records, favorite websites, chat objects, browsing records, chat content, every credit card purchase will be in its possession. "

"This is a disaster." Ma Weidao.

"Yes, this means that from now on, everything we do will be under the surveillance of other people. We don't have any, and even the room is full of cameras." Valdo took it seriously, " You don't know when they will mobilize your p or cell phone, or even your drone. "

"And if things go on like this, things may get worse. This is only the first stage. In the second stage, the tos will automatically analyze and mark everyone's dangerous tendencies. Of course, it is certainly possible to prevent crime in advance. Good thing, but we don't know in what way and algorithm it calculates everyone's dangerous tendency. Without restrictions, each of us may be labeled as a dangerous person. "
