Meng Fei controlled himself and walked in the direction of the flywheel. The rotating flywheel stirred space and time, and a violent wind blew, causing his hair and clothes to fly like flags.
It is impossible to solve the problem from hardware. Not to mention that he didn't have the tools to dismantle the main control computer's motherboard. Even if he did, who would dare to dismantle the main control computer while the plane was flying?
So only software means are left. The automatic update system is part of the master control loop. Every time the main control system performs a major cycle, it will poll whether the hardware has been automatically updated.
How about modifying that part of the query code so that it does not query the hardware, but directly returns "none" every time?
But where is that code? There is no manual for this thing.
Meng Fei stared at the rotating wheel. He thought about when he was a child, lying in bed trying to see what the spinning ceiling fan blades felt like.
Of course, it's impossible to see clearly.
"One step!"
At his command, more negative entropy burst out from the void ether. In an instant, the temperature of the world dropped to absolute zero, and every atom stopped moving.
His "single step" can only stop the world he is currently in, which is the world of the program in the main control computer of the Soul-76 helicopter, not reality.
So the main control computer shut down because of "single step", but it didn't in reality. Even when the main control computer was stuck, Zhang Zhang's control of the aircraft with the joystick was in vain.
Meng Fei climbed onto the huge flywheel that was frozen. Although he is a little afraid of heights, there is nothing he can do about it.
Only when you get close can you see clearly that this huge flywheel is not just a bare wheel.
In the eyes of programmers, it is a pile of confusing code, the legendary "Shit Mountain".
In the eyes of some people, it will be embodied in a clearer concrete form, such as complex combinations of countless machines and circuits, or even biological tissues.
It's as precise as a clock, but a million times more complex. But it's also as messy as a garbage dump. The two conflicting words of sophistication and chaos fit together perfectly.
The gears are connected to the gears, and the shafts are connected to the shafts. The piles of jumpers on the circuit board are like cobwebs that haven't been cleaned in decades, and the stray cables are like the baleen in the mouth of a baleen whale.
Parts piled upon parts, organs upon organs. There are countless things that you don’t know whether they are parts that fell out of nowhere or tumors growing in the organs.
But on this spinning giant wheel, they work together in an amazing combination with amazing coincidences, controlling the plane to hover in the sky, almost exactly.
If you need to remove a screw from it, replace a wire, or just change a switch with detailed instructions that can be changed, the entire "shitty mountain" may collapse in an instant.
This is the ultimate creation of human wisdom, a labyrinth of systems, a treasure trove of accumulated negative entropy in the universe, a flawed world created by countless programmers who lost their hair and lost their health.
If the giant wheel is still spinning and the main cycle is still running, it will be a spinning state, and it is impossible for the Creator to recognize what this lump is.
But Meng Fei has the ability to "single step", coupled with his two lifetimes of experience in debugging bugs, and the surging computing power that xe brings to him.
He found what he was looking for in the chaos. That stuff looks like this:
//First query the hardware to determine whether an update is required.
bool need_update = QueryUpdateInterface();
//If an update is requested, start the update.
if(updated)
{
//Start Update.
StartUpdate();
}
For Meng Fei, modification is simple. The question is, will the entire system collapse after the modification?
If you will die in a plane crash whether you change it or not, why not try changing it and maybe survive the desperate situation? After his modification, the code became like this:
//First query the hardware to determine whether an update is required.
bool need_update = QueryUpdateInterface();
//Never enter the update.
if(0)
{
//Start Update.
StartUpdate();
}
At this time, Fan Bu in the plane felt that he was suddenly suspended in the air, and his heart reached the position of his throat. And Zhang Li started to curse.
Although the control stick did not work before, the aircraft was at least cruising according to regulations. After being "single-stepped" by Meng Fei, the plane no longer even cruised and became a free fall.
Fortunately, Meng Fei's "single step" only lasted a moment. A moment later, the plane started cruising automatically again.
The plane stabilized again, and Boss Fan burst into tears. Now that he has money, status, and special abilities, he vows to live and die with the country, and he will not even think about death!
The backdoor to automatic updates is closed. Meng Fei stood firmly on the surface of the wildly spinning flywheel, like an acrobat in a circus.
The world was spinning in a weird way, and the center of the rotation was not around him. It was as if the universe had turned into a giant hula hoop.
The combination of spinning and giant phobia reminded him of the feeling of having a high fever when he was a child, lying in bed and watching a planet spinning above his head in his mind.
But he pretended to be calm, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and stood in the strong wind at the "highest" surface of the rotating flywheel.
"Come out, boss. I knew it was you."
He did not immediately repair the virus that infected the system and forced auto-cruise. Because he knew it was not that simple.
Fortunately, the automatic update system has been killed by him. Then he just needs to concentrate on dealing with the virus. But this virus actually hides its own strength.
Compared with Meng Fei's difficult emergence, the virus's emergence was just a matter of course.
A lot of black smoke suddenly appeared in the strong wind. The smoke and dust are like the creation of an oil painting. Start drafting, coloring, and deepening shadows quickly.
Luo An, a bald man wearing a brown suit and his former boss and teacher, stood clearly in front of Meng Fei.
It is detailed and realistic, with color and ambient light. It is obviously an image rendered in real time using ray tracing technology.
Compared to Meng Fei's rough style, which was only in black and white, it was infinitely more refined.
"Oh? How did you know it was me?"
His expression didn't look surprised, but it showed a rare look of interest.
"Other than you, who else could use the time when the national computer was being upgraded to modify so much data?"
This was confirmed by his opponent when Qingqing told him that all the information about Tu Qian had been deleted.
What is the purpose of the other party deleting this information? Probably to conceal the suspicion of smearing money, so that he could serve as a tour guide and smoothly implement the plan to take them up the mountain.
Although the security system of the national aerospace computer did have loopholes during that time, who else could exploit it so easily except Luo An?
