Kacha —
With a faint squeak, the iron door was gently pushed open.
Jiang Chen stepped into the archive room and looked around the layout of the room.
In addition to the rows of file racks, at the end of the file racks, there were two closet-sized server cases. When Jiang Chen saw the two cases, he was overjoyed. If he had to go through all the documents in the archive, he wouldn't be able to do it even if he was exhausted. But if they backed up the data in electronic equipment, no matter how well they kept it, Jiang Chen could dig it out!
He might even be able to find some other things by following the vines!
Restraining the excitement in his heart, Jiang Chen asked knowingly.
"Jean, can you hack into these two machines?"
"It's easy," Jean said calmly in the same emotionless tone.
Jiang Chen pulled out the adjustable data cable from his arm, found the interface on the case, and inserted the data cable. Soon, a few loading bars flashed on the screen of the tactical helmet. Jean integrated the computing resources of the wristwatch and the kinetic skeleton chips and quickly broke through the firewall carefully built by UA security experts.
In fact, in the process of hacking, Jean did not encounter any strong resistance at all. No matter how clever a hacker was, it was impossible to hack into a computer that was not connected to the Internet. Similarly, if the computer was not connected to the Internet, there was naturally no need to frequently update the firewall.
Area 51 was such a military restricted zone independent of the world. There was no exchange of even 1kb of data with the Internet, so naturally, there was no so-called network security problem. As for whether hackers could sneak in?
The UA didn't worry at all.
There were at least a dozen Soviet spies here, if not more.
Just the sensors all over the military base were enough to make it difficult for people who tried to illegally approach here.
Jiang Chen patiently waited for the loading bar and watched the streams of data flash by.
The download speed was increased to the limit, and Jean absorbed the confidential documents stored in the server like a whale sucking in water. For the artificial intelligence of the 22nd century, the firewall installed by the UA for these two machines was like a child's building blocks, vulnerable.
Half an hour later, with a soft noise, all the data bars turned into fragments of 0s and 1s and disappeared on the screen of the tactical helmet.
"It's over."
Jean announced the end of this silent battle in a calm tone.
Jiang Chen didn't rest and immediately opened the 10TB compressed file Jean downloaded to the memory card. If these documents were to be reviewed by manpower, it would take at least a month or two to sort out all of these documents. However, for the artificial intelligence, it only took less than half a minute to sort out all of the items.
In these projects, Jiang Chen saw a lot of shocking things.
Project Number: 10020
Record Name: RQ-180 Unmanned Stealth Reconnaissance Aircraft Improved
Development Direction: Improve the endurance, enhance the cruising speed, enhance the defense against EMP weapons …
Development budget: 1 billion USD
Content: …]
As he flipped through the information in the document, Jiang Chen's eyes gradually showed a hint of surprise.
It seemed that the EMP really scared the UA. He flipped through more than a dozen projects, all of which were specialized defense modifications against the EMP. For example, reducing the size of the electronic components of key equipment as much as possible to weaken the high temperature generated by the electromagnetic pulse. They even sacrificed a small amount of stealth and maneuverability to add a special layer of metal coating to the fighter jet, forming a Faraday cage.
In the case of limited technological conditions, these methods still had some effect. However, even the researchers in Area 51 didn't find a good way to defend against the EMP attack on the power grid, civil facilities, and factories.
However, the Pentagon had already set up a project and allocated a budget of 5 billion USD to study how to "silence" the EMP that arrived in the UA.
In addition, Area 51 also seemed to be studying a small four-rotor attack drone. The shape of this drone was somewhat similar to Future Group's Beta-3, but with a hanging muzzle and a magazine at the bottom. At present, this drone had entered the testing stage. Researchers in Area 51 were finding ways to eliminate the rotor noise and design AI that could automatically identify enemies and allies.
It seemed that on issues related to national security, the UA was ruthless when it came to counterfeiting. As long as the appearance was changed, who would know it was a counterfeit version of the Beta-3 logistics drone?
However, Jiang Chen didn't care. As long as Future Group maintained a technological lead, they could only chase behind, and they couldn't catch up.
In addition to these projects, Jiang Chen also saw a lot of "black technology" projects that were still in the planning stage and had not yet received investment.
For example, the project with the filed name "Arrival of the Northern Lights". By creating a special channel in the target airspace, the solar wind could pass through the shield of the geomagnetic field, and high-energy particles could cause an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) effect in a fairly wide range.
However, this project did not receive enough budget. Obviously, the Pentagon didn't believe that those whimsical researchers could find a way to open a hole in the geomagnetic field. Moreover, the solar wind passing through the shield of the geomagnetic field for a long time would cause a wide-area EMP effect, and it would also open a big hole in the ozone layer.
Not to mention that the investment itself was a bottomless pit, no one could estimate the serious environmental impact this whimsical weapon would cause. If this channel through the geomagnetic field could not be closed, creatures on the surface would become extinct …
"Jean, is this weapon possible?" Jiang Chen asked.
Jean paused for two seconds. She should be searching the database in the apocalypse.
"At least in the NAC database, this kind of whimsical technology doesn't exist."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was also relieved. He no longer cared about the "Arrival of the Northern Lights" and searched for information about this radio telescope.
With Jean's help, it didn't take long for Jiang Chen to find project number 12417.
This project was listed in the aerospace category.
Project number: 12417
Record name: Exploration of Extraterrestrial Civilization
Development direction: Through radio telescopes, analyze the possibility of the existence of extraterrestrial civilization within 50 light-years from Earth.
Development budget: 300 million US Dollar.
Content: …]
Jiang Chen ignored all the content he didn't understand and only picked the key points. He followed the entry and when he saw the development progress, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Research and development progress:
Sub-project number 011: Gliese 581 galaxy.
Location: About 2 degrees north of Beta Libra, about 20.5 light-years from Earth.
Analysis: Spectral type M2.5V, apparent magnitude about + 10.56. Observed by radio telescope, there are active elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen on the surface of the 581g planet in the galaxy. There is a high probability of water. The planet is tidally locked, the solar wind is active, and the state of the geomagnetic field is unknown.
There may be an atmosphere.
There may be creatures, distributed along the twilight line.
No regular electromagnetic waves were observed. The possibility of the existence of civilization is low, or it is below the Stone Age …
When Jiang Chen saw this, he held his breath.
Gliese 581, this name was too familiar to him.
It was just that he didn't expect that the extraterrestrial civilization exploration project in Area 51 would also have a record of this planet. Although the civilization rating made people not know whether to laugh or cry …
Looking at the lines of text, Jiang Chen was silent for a long time.
Just as he was thinking about whether to do something, suddenly, a harsh alarm sounded outside the window …
