The big screen did not malfunction. It was stuck because of the server.
Moreover, it was not just the big screen. At the same time, the various computer monitors of the communication team's command terminal were all popping up with the words "Data Decoding Failed".
"What's the situation?" Han Zhenjiang immediately asked when he heard the abnormal sound of the communication staff officer furiously typing on the keyboard.
"Reporting, the server seems to have malfunctioned." Because the military laptops of several communication staff officers had the same malfunction notification, the leader of the communication team immediately made a judgment.
"Quickly troubleshoot the malfunction!" Han Zhenjiang ordered with a gloomy face.
"Yes!" After the leader of the communication team responded, he wanted to softly restart the server. However, when he realized that the computer was stuck, he stood up and wanted to press the hard restart button on the server chassis.
"Wait a minute!" Qu Sen, who was in a daze, suddenly stopped the leader of the communication team.
Because Qu Sen had just taught everyone how to operate the updated command system, the leader of the communication team still took his words seriously. When he heard Qu Sen stop him, he immediately stopped what he was doing.
After Qu Sen confirmed the malfunction of the system once again, he walked to the back of the server chassis with a strange expression. He reached out his hand and pulled out the network cable that was plugged into the downlink card.
Seeing that the blinking signal on the network cable went out, he sat in front of the computer again and pressed the enter key with one hand.
Countless warning windows had been stacked on the monitor. As he pressed the enter key, they began to disappear quickly. After the last "ding" sound disappeared, all the warning windows disappeared.
Because the downlink network of the server was physically disconnected, the command center could no longer receive messages from the units below. Qu Sen tried to send messages out and realized that all the nodes in the communication network were experiencing data congestion. Even if the nodes received the message he sent, they could not view it because the computer was stuck.
Han Zhenjiang, who had already walked behind Qu Sen, saw that the computer could be used again, so he asked, "What's the situation?"
"Commander, we've probably been attacked by the Blue Team's network," Qu Sen replied while looking at the server logs.
"Cyber attack?" Hearing this answer, not only Han Zhenjiang, but everyone in the command center looked at each other.
The term "cyber attack" often appeared in movies and TV series. Everyone always thought that it was a kind of high-end operation with a lot of acting. The chances of meeting them in reality were very slim. Unexpectedly, the exercise had just begun and they had already met something new.
However, this "novelty" obviously came at the wrong time.
"Can it be solved?" Han Zhenjiang quickly asked after digesting the information he had just heard.
By this time, Qu Sen had already confirmed his guess through the server system logs. He replied, "The Blue Team attacked our server network through a loophole in the virtual 8080 port of the system, causing communication congestion among all nodes in our network. If I'm not mistaken, they've probably started to steal the orders we sent before. "
"They stole all the orders we issued?" Han Zhenjiang was stunned when he heard this.
No matter how calm he was, he could not understand the fact that the enemy had stolen all their military secrets without even showing their faces.
"We've activated a new identification code, and the orders we sent were all encrypted. Even if they get the information, they won't be able to crack it in a short period of time." Qu Sen was still calm at this time and immediately expressed his judgment.
"Is there any way to solve it?" Han Zhenjiang also calmed down when he heard this and quickly asked.
"I can remotely shut down the virtual 8080 port of all nodes, but without the assistance of this port, the transmission speed of our orders will be affected." The two of them had discussed Zhou Li's work, the principle of her attack, and the solution in depth on the train, so Qu Sen quickly said the solution.
"How big is the impact?" Han Zhenjiang immediately asked.
There was no way to quantify how big the impact would be, so Qu Sen used the most concise words to explain the principle of the impact. "The main impact is the speed of data concurrency, there's no impact when it's a single line. When multiple orders enter and exit at the same time, the processing speed will obviously slow down. As for how slow it is, it depends on the busy network. "
"In other words, there won't be much of an impact?" Han Zhenjiang expressed his understanding.
"Based on the number of nodes we have and the network bandwidth, if not all nodes send and receive data at the same time, there won't be much of an impact!" Han Zhenjiang wanted an absolute explanation, but computer calculations were full of variables, so it was difficult to get an absolute value. Therefore, Qu Sen could only start from a theoretical point of view and give his own judgment.
Fortunately, Han Zhenjiang was a commander with rich comprehensive knowledge, so he quickly digested Qu Sen's words and straightforwardly gave the order. "Then do it, as fast as you can!"
"Yes!" When Qu Sen received the order, he quickly shut down the virtual 8080 port of the server system and began to remotely operate each terminal on the network.
It took time to operate more than 30 terminal devices one by one. Coupled with the fact that the network was congested and some terminal devices were constantly rebooting, this time was further extended. By the time Qu Sen finished all the operations, nearly two hours had passed.
As the terminals were rebooted one by one, the situation of the frontline troops was reported back to the command center.
In the past two hours, the Blue Team launched multiple attacks on the Red Team's frontline troops at the same time. Fortunately, there was a response plan in place when there was no command. The Red Team's frontline troops worked together to defend, so although there were some losses, the losses were completely within an acceptable range.
At the same time, according to the contact between the two armies, the Red Team also collected the configuration and number of the Blue Team's attacking troops and reported it back to the command center.
At this time, in the Blue Team's forward command center, Zhou Li saw that the last terminal of the Red Team on the network had also lost connection. He couldn't help but lightly tap the keyboard.
The network congestion not only made it difficult for Qu Sen's remote operations, but also for Zhou Li's operation to steal intelligence.
It was also because he had to copy the intelligence stored in the Red Team's terminals that Zhou Li didn't completely block the Red Team's network. Seeing the terminals on the list lose connection one after another, the progress bar of the copying of the Red Team's terminal database jumped forward one by one.
When the connection to the last terminal was lost, the total progress jumped from 97% to 100%.
Although Zhou Li was angry, there was nothing he could do. He could only decode the copied database file, organize it, and send it to the Military Intelligence Department's Officer Sun, who was doing the cracking work.
For Officer Sun, the more information Zhou Li got, the more beneficial it would be for her to crack the Red Team's secret code.
This task should have been completed by a small team, but now it fell on her shoulders alone. Officer Sun was also under a lot of pressure. She didn't dare to be distracted at all. She worked hard to find common points and coherence in the collected information, using this to straighten out the logical relationships.
She knew very well that at the current speed, even if she cracked the intelligence in the end, she would only be able to obtain the units represented by the Red Team's identification codes.
As for the specific intelligence, other than the logistical data that was still useful, the other information that had lost its effectiveness was definitely meaningless.
The Red Team wasn't stupid. Since they knew how to solve the sudden network outage, they naturally knew the cause of the outage, which was the Blue Team's network attack. Since they knew this, they would definitely make large-scale adjustments to the deployment of their troops.
However, being able to force the "enemy" to make adjustments to their military deployment was enough for Yue Jianjun. The first phase of the sudden attack didn't have the desired effect, so he was ready to seize the opportunity when the opponent made adjustments to find a weak point and use his special skills to cut and cut through the enemy.
Communications returned to normal, and the tense atmosphere in the Red Team's command center couldn't help but relax a little.
Han Zhenjiang looked at the battle zone map that had returned to dynamic mode and couldn't help but say, "Yue Jianjun, that old bastard, is really mean. He only wants to hit me, but he doesn't want me to fight back!"
After saying this, he turned his head to look at Qu Sen. "Kid, you went to school for a year. Did you only learn how to take a beating and not how to hit people?"
Qu Sen of course understood what Han Zhenjiang meant by "taking a beating" and "hitting people." He looked at the battle zone map and said, "The things I've learned now aren't enough to launch a network attack. But if there's a chance … "
"Just say it. If you don't say it, how will I know if I can create an opportunity for you?" Although Han Zhenjiang's tone was very impatient, in his heart, he had already raised his opinion of Qu Sen by a few levels.
Even he didn't expect that the idea of borrowing Qu Sen back, which he had made at the last minute, would actually be so useful. He couldn't help but have higher expectations for him.
Qu Sen saw that everyone in the command center was looking at him, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. However, he still organized his words and pointed at the eastern battlefield of the battle zone map. He pointed at an area with complicated terrain and said,
"If the Blues enters this area, we must use the communications relay equipment. If we can take out one of them and get the identification code of that unit, I can hack into their communications relay network. Although it can't affect all of the Blue Team's units, as long as the unit is connected to the communications relay network, I can hack into it. I can even use fake commands to mobilize them. "
"What did you say?"
Han Zhenjiang's eyes instantly widened. Although he heard Qu Sen's words clearly, he couldn't help but confirm it again.
