The question is, is the owner of this virtual space a psychopath? Why did his virtual space become like this?
What on earth is he doing here?
You know, he was defenseless when he entered the virtual space. Did he come in just to be chased and bitten by zombies?
What's worse is that the two hackers followed common sense to crack the key route, only to find out, what kind of ghost route is this?
Climbing walls, ziplining, parkour...
Several times, they thought the route they analyzed was wrong.
Where the hell is there a way? ah? There is no way!
"How is it possible? This virtual space must have a special backdoor. How could it not be found? Is it possible that the owner of this virtual space has to run it from beginning to end every time he enters this place?"
Pavel and Bob were completely confused. If it were other virtual spaces, just two or three minutes would be enough for them to find the backdoor. Even if there was no backdoor, they could quickly calculate the optimal route for the owner of the virtual space. , find out the key.
But now?
There is no backdoor, no optimal route, not even a path that seems feasible!
The entire virtual space is like a huge and unnecessary chaotic system. Even if they have various hacker tools, they are still struggling!
Seeing a deadlock, Bob suggested: "How about we increase the computing power? Or try a brute force crack?"
The so-called increase in computing power can be understood as a human sea tactic, controlling a large number of automatic programs to explore various routes in this virtual space. As for brute force cracking, it is an attempt to break through the underlying rules of this virtual space.
But obviously, both methods will have other problems.
Pavel glared at him: "You're crazy! Are you trying to attract the official organization here by making such a big noise?
"Okay, I know why the VRNO group kept the location but didn't crack it themselves... There is obviously something weird about this virtual space.
“But we are here after all, the calculation of the optimal route is still in progress, and it looks like the first block is about to be cracked.
"The subsequent sections should be randomly generated by the existing rules. As long as the first one is broken, the rest will be easy to figure out.
“We can’t give up now, otherwise it will be like wasting all our efforts!
"Besides, aren't there just a few zombies? It's not like we haven't seen them yet..."
Pavel was halfway through his words when he felt something was wrong.
Bob's eyes widened and he looked behind him, his mouth slightly opened, as if he had lost all language for a moment.
Pavel was stunned for a moment and looked back.
He saw a huge mechanical eye that glowed crimson staring at him among the broken windows of this abandoned building, and he could vaguely see the eyeballs moving.
Pavel froze, watching helplessly as two beams of crimson rays focused on him.
"What the hell is this?"
However, just in the middle of his words, the entire wall was shattered instantly!
A giant mechanical claw stretched out and grabbed his body!
Pavel began to struggle wildly. He tried to shoot with his pistol, but it was like tickling the mechanical behemoth, and it had no effect at all.
"Crack!"
The mechanical behemoth opened its mouth and bit down suddenly, biting Pavel into two pieces!
…
Of course, although the mechanical hunter can kill the hacker's body in the virtual space, it cannot expel them.
After all, hackers themselves come in by exploiting loopholes, and the underlying rules of this virtual space are that you will not be kicked out if you die, but will be reborn.
The bodies of Pavel and Bob disappear and appear randomly in another place in this virtual space.
They didn't suffer much loss, but they left a huge psychological shadow.
What kind of things does the owner of this virtual space keep in the virtual space?
What should he do when he usually needs to maintain the key in the virtual space or change the underlying rules?
Is it possible that we have to go through nine or eighty-one hardships like this?
A huge map like a maze, athlete zombies can be seen everywhere, dark scenes with no sky and frequent rain, and huge mechanical hunters that occasionally appear...
If it weren't for the goal of "breaking the first plate route as soon as possible" supporting them, Pavel and Bob would have completely collapsed and wanted to quit.
Finally, Pavel's face showed joy: "Okay, the first block route has been cracked! After that, the cracking time of the block should be greatly reduced..."
His words stopped abruptly.
According to common sense, after the route of the first block is cracked, the other blocks are generated using some ready-made random rules, and they can all be cracked within a minute or even ten seconds.
However, on the basis that the cracking time of the first section was more than 5 minutes, the cracking time of the second section was still 5 minutes...
Pavel and Bob looked at this number and froze in place.
…
"Team leader, those two hackers should be in the building in front."
At this time, on another nearby rooftop, Lu Zhixing and Yizhou Ping were observing the movements of the two hackers.
At this time, Zhou Yiping was wearing a special white uniform, and he looked like a large anti-virus software.
However, Zhou Yiping, like those hackers, can only bring in very limited weapons. This is the underlying rule of the virtual space. Once determined by the key owner, everyone must abide by it.
No changes can be made again unless the key is obtained.
Zhou Pingyuan rushed over in a hurry, fearing that Lu Zhixing's virtual space would be tampered with and stolen by hackers a second later. But when he arrived, he discovered that it really wasn't that urgent, right?
As an official security officer, Zhou Yiping is very familiar with the methods of hackers.
They can directly call on the strongest physical fitness allowed by the underlying rules in this virtual space, carry weapons that are slightly higher than the underlying rules, and can also calculate the theoretical optimal route through computing power analysis.
For duplicate spaces copied and pasted, if they crack one, they can crack all the rest instantly.
That's why these hackers are so difficult to deal with.
However, more than five minutes have passed, and the two hackers are struggling. Although they have broken the first module with great pains, they have not been able to crack all the remaining spaces in an instant.
Not only the hackers were confused, but Zhou Yiping was also confused!
"What's going on? Didn't you just copy and paste it?"
The entire virtual space is 27 cubic kilometers. How can it be designed into different levels?
This amount of design is impossible even if the level designer is exhausted, right?
And if it is generated using AI technology, there must be some special generation rules. And this is often easily cracked by hackers.
Lu Zhixing was silent for a moment: "Of course it wasn't copied and pasted.
"This is a special game mechanism I prepared for multiple weeks of "Walking with Darkness", which randomly generates levels."
Zhou Yiping was still confused: "Did we use the existing random generation rules? If there are existing rules, hackers should be able to crack it quickly."
Lu Zhixing shook his head: "No, it's a new set of rules that I came up with. After testing it, I found that it worked well, and then I manually adjusted some of the details of the generated levels.
"But I'm a little curious, are these hackers so weak in their cracking capabilities?
"I originally thought they could break all the plates in about half an hour, but now it seems that giving them another two hours may not be enough."
At this time, Lu Zhixing was using the reward from the random level given by the life playing game. This was a set of complex rules that appeared directly in his mind.
Naturally, it can be transported to the virtual world without pressure, just like transporting art materials.
Obviously, this set of rules is different from any existing random rules in this world. There is no ready-made cracking template for hackers, so they can only use computing power to run it slowly, and naturally the efficiency is very slow.
Zhou Yiping was shocked. Listen to what you said. Is this human language?
"You came up with the new rules yourself? You...you must have such a strong spatial imagination!
“Well, if it’s you, it’s not too outrageous.
"It cannot be said that these hackers are weak in cracking capabilities. After all, whether these hackers are strong or not depends on their computing power.
“The more resources they call upon and the stronger their computing power, the faster they can crack various rules. Of course, such a big move will also make it easier to induce the security mechanism of the virtual space and be noticed by the authorities.
"So, these hackers will try their best to decide the amount of computing power they invest based on the size and importance of the virtual space. If some virtual spaces are relatively small, then after investing a lot of computing power, even if the theft is successful, it will not be easy for the hackers. Cost-effective.
"but……
"This is indeed the first time I have seen a virtual space like yours... Even those peripheral virtual spaces specially used for security protection may not have such a strong protective effect!"
The so-called peripheral virtual space is actually the “wall” set up by the government to protect all important virtual spaces. The only purpose of these spaces is to make it difficult for hackers to break into them, thereby protecting the important spaces inside and buying time for the official security team.
Zhou Yiping is also a member of the security team, so he is well-informed. What has he not seen before?
But I have never seen anything like this today!
Zhou Yiping was silent for a long time, and suddenly a question came to his mind: "Wait, are these the contents of your game?"
Lu Zhixing nodded: "Yes, expert difficulty is designed like this.
“Of course, players are only challenging one section, and they will not actually be asked to climb 27 cubic kilometers.
"Unless an infinite mode is considered in the future."
Zhou Zhouping was even more shocked: "Then is there something wrong with the difficulty design of your game?
"You use a level that even hackers can't pass for players to play?
"Who are you planning to sell this game to?"
I suffered from severe insomnia last night and my brain was in a blur. I deleted, deleted, and changed. Today there are only three chapters. I will make some adjustments and continue to update with 10,000 words tomorrow. Currently, I still owe 2,500 to 3,000 monthly tickets for additional updates. I have ordered additional updates for 5,700, 5,900, and 6,100. I still owe five chapters.
