After long-term and large-scale data comparison, Professor Thomas finally identified the anomaly, which was a series of seemingly useless mysterious data.
This string of data is not built into the program of the Super Calculation machine itself, nor is it useless junk data generated during operation. It is purely a string of external data.
Thomas put a lot of effort into research, but found that this string of data is neither a virus nor a program, it is completely like a random combination.
If he hadn't been proficient in the structure and performance of the Super Calculation machine, he might have been confused by this string of mysterious data and thought it was just erroneous data generated during operation.
"Is this string of data just interfering with the operation results of the Super Calculation machine?"
Thomas suddenly thought of a possibility, and then his whole body trembled. He suddenly felt terror!
If this anomaly occurs to just one company, King Material, Thomas may think that this is just someone targeting King Material Company.
However, this exception also occurred in Oak Ridge Laboratory.
In this case, this matter will not be simple!
Thinking of this, Thomas immediately rushed out of the research room, ran to Machine Room where the Super Calculation machine was, and then asked people to collect the recent data.
At the same time, he made a few more calls and sent the mysterious code to the other party for them to investigate together.
Two hours later, the staff managing the Super Calculation machine provided him with all the recent data.
This time, Thomas had experience and goals, and the analysis speed was naturally countless times faster.
But what he didn't expect was that the mysterious data he wanted to search was not among the data provided to him by the staff, which meant that the Super Calculation machine of Oak Ridge Laboratory was normal.
"Disappeared?"
Thomas is full of doubts.
Jingle bell bell...
A call came into his cell phone.
Thomas took it and saw that it was his good friend and professor James Bubber from NSA.
"Hi, Thomas, I didn't find the mysterious data you wanted me to find."
James Bubber told him the result as soon as he opened his mouth, and then asked, "What data is it? Is it important?"
After Thomas was silent for a while, he answered him, "I suspect that there is an organization interfering with our scientific research progress."
"What?"
James Bubber was a little confused and didn't quite understand what he meant.
It wasn't until Thomas explained it again that he was horrified. Good guy, someone actually interfered with the calculation data and hindered their scientific research progress. This is even more cruel than a technical blockade!
"Three-Body Civilization!"
James Bubber slowly spit out four words.
Subconsciously, he thought of a Chinese science fiction novel he had read, in which an alien civilization with such technology had used it against human civilization. With just one Zhi Zi, all scientific research of human civilization has stopped progressing, and it has entered an era of standing still. It can only wait for the arrival of the world-destroying army of alien civilization.
James Bubber I thought about it carefully, and then suddenly remembered that there have been many calculation errors within the NSA during this period, and then the design plan was overturned and restarted. Until now, the progress has been stuck, and new plans are still being designed.
If it is true as Thomas said, then the slow progress of NSA during this period is not their own problem, but someone is interfering with them!
"Yes, that's the one."
Thomas said quickly that he had also read that science fiction novel.
After all, as one of the few famous science fiction novels from China in the world, and recommended by a certain president, it is indeed worth reading for them.
"Are you sure?"
James Bubber asked.
Thomas replied without thinking, "Of course!"
James Bubber was still a little unconvinced and asked, "Do you have any evidence? The mysterious data you mentioned was not found here."
Thomas suddenly fell silent.
He did not find the Super Calculation machine data in Oak Ridge Laboratory.
Now, the NSA has not found any mysterious data.
In this way, it became a dead end case, and he had no evidence to prove it.
The string of mysterious data found in King Material Company's Super Calculation machine may really be a terrible interference factor, but without more facts to confirm it, it is not enough to win people's trust.
However, after ending the call with James. Brown, Thomas still wrote a report on the matter and sent it to the officials of Department of Energy.
He has the right to "reach directly to Heaven." This is also the right of great scientists and famous professors in other countries around the world, and it can also be said to be an obligation.
Make suggestions for the development of your country!
Otherwise, wouldn't the honor and treatment given by society and the country be in vain?
"Is there a mysterious force trying to interfere with our technological research?"
After receiving the letter from Thomas, Shavin, the minister of Department of Energy, first reacted with suspicion. He did not believe that such things in science fiction novels would happen in real life.
But soon, he remembered that Thomas was the director of Oak Ridge Laboratory Computing Institute, and his expertise in the computer field was unquestionable.
If even Thomas's discoveries in the computer field need to be questioned, then there is no other computer expert in the world who can be trusted.
Shavin carefully read Thomas's letter. There was only one piece of evidence in the content, which was not enough to prove the authenticity of the matter, but he believed Thomas.
More importantly, this kind of thing is something that one would rather kill than let go.
So after reading the letter, Shavin just thought about it for a few minutes and immediately issued an order for an all-out investigation nationwide.
"Did such a terrible thing happen?"
"Incredible! We were all fooled!"
"How to investigate this? Who to investigate?"
"In the computer field, we will start to check which organizations and countries are at the forefront of strength!"
The associated FBI took over the case and quickly set up an investigation team, deploying computer experts from across the country to assist in the investigation.
Everyone simply marveled for a few words, and then decided on the idea of investigation.
Thomas, as the computer professional who first discovered this matter, naturally had to cooperate with FBI's investigation.
Of course, King Material Company, John's friend Pete and other companies and people were also immediately blocked by FBI and then interrogated.
"What happened?"
This is the surprise of King Material Company employees.
FBI doesn't have a good reputation here. Companies or people who are targeted by FBI will inevitably shed a layer of skin. Now that I saw that the company Super Calculation Department was blocked, there was an uproar, and then there was a lot of discussion.
There was no surprise at all. The media quickly learned about the news, and the first media to report it published it on the front page with the title "Alien civilization is coming!"
Shocking content, these are all leftovers from the Eagle Country media's play a hundred years ago, and they are still having fun playing it now, adhering to the media's nature of never ending the story without shocking.
