NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 261 Virus?

This black box is...very strange.

It seems to be specially prepared for me. 】

Accompanied by a violent whistling sound, blue flames spurted out from the tail of the HO fighter, and it moved towards the target point in automatic cruise mode.

Ye Feng in the cockpit was comfortably doing what he wanted.

He entered the storage area on the outer layer of the black box and found that this black box was different from the black box he had carried before.

【An anti-virus program.】

Well……

From the code, we can find that a certain package of this program is to prevent a hidden program in the black box from being started.

[The characteristic code of the hidden program! Let me check it out...]

Ye Feng skillfully hacked into the outer storage block of his own black box and quickly dug out the block containing the hidden program.

Analyzing codes was as easy as drinking water for a YoRHa machine like his, whose main function was scanning.

But the hidden program in front of us doesn’t seem that simple.

Hidden programs will not start automatically and need to receive specific instructions before they can run.

The program execution process can be summarized as follows:

[At the same time, the interface program code is injected into the NFCS system, FFCS system, vision, hearing, touch and other key parts of the body,

Inject interface program code into the black box energy supply unit,

Inject interface program code into the logic analysis unit.

The functions of the interface program are summarized as follows:

Invade, disrupt, and even obtain the highest control authority of the unit. 】

Huh?

"This is a program that comes with the black box. What is it used for?"

Ye Feng said to himself.

"Invasion, chaos, acquisition..."

wrong!

This thing is very similar to the execution conditions of a virus.

"Could it be..."

Ye Feng in the data space pounded his chest hard before he reacted.

This hidden program is a logical virus.

Ye Feng was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

I accidentally got hold of this black box and discovered a program that did not belong to the black box itself.

This program is designed to prevent the black box's built-in logic virus program from being activated.

【Why is this happening! 】

His mind was full of questions.

Never mind, dog’s life is important.

No issues were found with this particular program, the code is well optimized.

Ye Feng ran the program without hesitation and added it to the startup items.

Suddenly, a red warning sounded in the data space.

"Warning: A logic virus has been detected in the boot area of the auditory processing unit of the 9M unit."

"Warning: A logic virus has been detected in the boot area of the 9M machine's visual processing unit."

"Warning: A logic virus has been detected in the boot area of the core storage unit of the 9M machine."

"..."

"The attempt to disinfect is paused. The highest authority of the 9M body is required."

"Do you want to execute it?"

I go……

When Ye Feng heard this life-threatening warning, his face changed instantly and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Is the virus on me?"

He went to the boot area of the virus report one by one and checked it repeatedly.

Sure enough, as the antivirus program said,

Except for the logic analysis unit in the thinking center, logic viruses exist in all core areas.

They interfere with the normal functioning of the systems.

but,

The strange thing is that the virus shows no signs of spreading. It just stays in the boot area and sends strange interference data to key parts of the system.

"Warning: A logic virus has been detected in the core boot area of the 9M machine firewall."

Huh! ?

There are firewalls too!

Ye Feng checked the core code of the firewall and found that it was true.

[Nima, this is not a virus that has taken over me,]

[I am infected with the virus! ]

I was born in a body full of viruses, so I am an outsider.

"confirm!"

Ye Feng pressed the confirmation button without hesitation.

The body's touch receptors send a tickling sensation.

That was after getting his approval. The newly acquired antivirus program in the black box was cleaning viruses from all over the system.

【Who could have done this? 】

Could it be the girl in red in the white tower?

It should be her.

……

After finishing this matter, Ye Feng raised his hand and observed the device on his wrist.

Still halfway to his destination, he decided to wander around the outer area of the black box, hoping to find an unexpected surprise.

He walked along the data link and in front of him was the data storage unit.

There are a lot of unused empty blocks, and some blocks that have data stored in them.

After some investigation, it was found that most of these blocks containing content were encrypted.

It uses an advanced algorithm that cannot be cracked even by scanning.

If you fail to enter the password successfully, you cannot open it at all.

This encryption algorithm is very similar to the encryption algorithm in the pure white sword.

The difference is that there is no firewall installed against cracking behavior.

"I wonder how about using brute force?"

Ye Feng said to himself, but he soon gave up.

Previously, his cracking system had to give an answer to the encryption algorithm of the memory block in the sword, but it would take millions of years, so he soon gave up.

Try other units.

He looked through the records of the black box's owners, and there were two in total.

The second place name cannot be displayed.

The first place is: [2E]

"YoRha Unit-02? Is this black box hers?"

After obtaining the name, Ye Feng began to search in his own database.

YoRHa does not have an executioner version of Unit-2, but only has a combat version of Unit-2, codenamed:

【2B! 】

Ye Feng, who was looking up information, accidentally saw this name.

At this moment, his body seemed to have a strange reaction.

Without thinking too much, he pulled up the information about this name.

His database comes from the bunker, and there is not much content available.

However, he still obtained useful information.

【2B's start time.】

Coming to the storage unit of the black box again, he tried to input a line of numbers into the encrypted data block:

【】

“It doesn’t need to be accurate to the second.”

Ye Feng muttered to himself and pressed the confirm button.

He was delighted, and the words "Password entered correctly" appeared on the virtual screen.

The owner of the black box is probably a silly and cute girl who is so naive that she uses her birthday as the password.

"What could be in here?"

Ye Feng checked the creation time of the data. It was about 4 months ago and was saved on the same day.

The data is very large, covering all aspects of humanities and social sciences on a planet for thousands of years, and the amount of data is extremely large.

"wrong!"

Ye Feng looked at the information and thought about the size of the black box.

Something is very wrong!

Even with the most advanced information compression methods, a small black box cannot store such a huge amount of content.

strictly speaking,

This storage block is more like an interface that calls up massive amounts of data in a server at an unknown location.

Only in this way does it make sense.

He soon confirmed his idea.

original,

These storage blocks do not store data, but call instructions.

This method of data transmission is very strange and difficult to interfere with.

Unfortunately, the technology cannot be understood and cannot be used for communication for the time being.

uncanny workmanship!

Ye Feng couldn't help but marvel at the principle that even his scanning machine couldn't understand.

By the way, what he is doing now is like...

In order to find out why his girlfriend was angry, the man opened a very thick book.

The title of the book is "Why Girlfriends Are Angry - Table of Contents".

……

After carefully looking through the data, the recorded date is up to the beginning of 2024.

This is data from nearly ten thousand years ago.

It's too long ago.

Ten thousand years is equivalent to two Chinese five thousand years...

Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh.

I still miss the ancient dragon country!
