Truly Awesome

After Jiang Yan Hai's voice fell, he instantly felt his vision shift. Then he discovered an astonishing change: it was as though his brain had been activated. Whenever he looked at something, relevant data about it immediately appeared.

Gravity, atmospheric pressure, air humidity, temperature, wind speed... After looking out the window, as his gaze passed through the glass, Jiang Yan Hai could even see the temperature difference, optical refraction, an object's movement speed, relative speed... Nearly every conceivable piece of data instantly appeared in his mind.

Jiang Yan Hai immediately simulated shooting the distant red flag. The data within his field of vision rapidly began to change. Atmospheric pressure, gravitational pull, humidity, temperature, wind speed, temperature difference, wind deviation, optical refraction, and all other data instantly appeared, along with the relevant calculations and answers.

In other words, if Jiang Yan Hai had a Sniper Rifle in his hands right now, he only needed to adjust it according to the data and pull the trigger!

This was fucking insane! Please allow Jiang Yan Hai to swear here. Seriously, compared to the heavy mystical flavor of its name, this skill's actual effect could not have been more scientific!

It practically calculated every bit of data, eliminated every problem that could be solved with data, and then all he had to do was pull the trigger.

How could that not improve his hit rate?

Though it was called a skill, it felt more like one of Jiang Yan Hai's own abilities. After carefully testing it, he discovered that the skill had levels as well. At present, it was only at the most basic C-rank.

Could it do even more absurd things at higher levels? For example, make bullets curve? Otherwise, why would it be called Unsuppressible Newton's Coffin Lid?

However, this skill did have one advantage. Jiang Yan Hai could deactivate or activate it at any time, with no cooldown or anything like that.

Not bad! Setting its name aside, this skill was absolutely overpowered. Especially for a soldier, shooting was one of the most fundamental skills.

After deactivating the skill, Jiang Yan Hai thought about it. Since he had nothing else to do, he simply claimed the last of the hacker knowledge.

When Jiang Yan Hai claimed the hacker knowledge, an enormous flood of data instantly poured into his mind. The knowledge did not enter very quickly, but it was deeply imprinted, and Jiang Yan Hai immediately understood it all.

A full two hours passed. Only when Jiang Yan Hai began to feel dizzy and mentally exhausted did the B-rank hacker knowledge finally finish transferring. He had no idea by what means the knowledge had been transmitted directly into his mind, but it was not only complete—his understanding of it was also extremely thorough.

Still, while the knowledge was already complete, Jiang Yan Hai felt that he needed more practical experience. In this information age, the importance of such technology went without saying.

Even for soldiers, much of their individual equipment relied on information technology. In a modern war, information technology was even more crucial.

Although Jiang Yan Hai had absorbed all the knowledge, he had no concept of what level B-rank hacker knowledge actually represented. He needed to carefully verify and test it.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yan Hai took out his phone. His personal belongings had also been sent to this class. It was already the information age, and recruits were allowed to carry phones. Smartphones were permitted as well, though only approved domestic brands could be used, and there were rules governing where and when phones could be used. At least, that was how the rules worked in this world.

They could only be used during rest periods, and Jiang Yan Hai was currently on break.

He took out his phone and turned it on. A prompt automatically appeared in his mind. "Connect to this smart device?"

Of course, he chose yes.

After selecting yes, Jiang Yan Hai found an interface appearing on his phone. It was somewhat like an app, but not quite the same. When he opened it, Jiang Yan Hai took a deep breath.

As a college student living in the information age, Jiang Yan Hai had not studied computer science, but he naturally knew a little about computers and programming. Mastery, however, was out of the question.

Yet now, after opening the interface, Jiang Yan Hai could directly understand the underlying data displayed within it.

Not only could he understand it, he instantly gained an in-depth grasp of the phone's system and related issues. Seeing this, Jiang Yan Hai wasted no time and began operating it according to the thoughts in his mind.

In truth, even domestic phones almost all used Android systems. Android was an open system, so domestic manufacturers could make their own customized modifications to its underlying data, thereby ensuring system security.

But in Jiang Yan Hai's eyes, the system before him had far too many vulnerabilities. After only a few operations, he successfully obtained the phone system's highest-level permissions and entered its underlying programming mode.

During this process, Jiang Yan Hai experienced for the first time just how absurd the computational support of the Electronic Information Warfare Support Program was.

Hackers were no longer mysterious in modern times. But more than a decade ago, hacker had been a lofty and impressive title. As time passed, it seemed that fewer and fewer people heard the term anymore.

Even computer viruses and similar things that had once been constantly associated with hackers seemed rarer now. After all, there used to be so many antivirus programs, while now a simple 360 seemed sufficient.

Had hackers ceased to exist?

No. Hackers still existed; they had merely become more low-key. In the modern information age, it had become harder for hackers to hide their identities as they once had, so they had no choice but to keep a lower profile.

Second, security measures at major information companies had improved. And with the explosive development of the internet, cloud computing had become the greatest restriction on hackers. Many people believed that once you found a system vulnerability, you could invade it.

Theoretically, that was correct. But breaking into a personal computer was one thing. If you wanted to infiltrate a major company's large database or servers, even with a vulnerability, you still needed powerful computational support!

The stronger the computational capability of the target you wanted to infiltrate, the stronger the computational capability you needed as well!

Not to mention that the other side might have computing power from multiple large data centers connected through the network, making infiltration even more difficult!

That was also why hackers seemed so much rarer now.

But Jiang Yan Hai had yet to test the Red Star Engine's computational support and auxiliary program to determine a specific value. Even so, he instantly understood that he could now use this phone to reverse-connect to the nearest telecommunications company base station, then analyze the system vulnerabilities of the company's data base station through transmitted data.
