Spring 2020, northern Changhe Kingdom
Katz walked about 50 meters along the half-meter-deep depression that was naturally formed but resembled an artificial trench. He turned around the hillside and saw a small platform paved with cement.
There is a row of wooden houses on the platform near the mountain protection net. It is a listening station set up by the Dingtian Organization of the Luzhi Kingdom on the Kusta Plateau in the northern part of the Changhe Kingdom. It sometimes serves as an outpost for ground infiltration and operations against the Jade Khanate. .
The Custa people in the southeastern part of the Shuangzhou Kingdom are the mortal enemies of the Luzhi Kingdom, while the Custa people in the northern part of the Changhe Kingdom have always received support from the Liang Kingdom from the River Basin War to the Changhe Kingdom War.
After the Liang Kingdom withdrew its troops from the Changhe Kingdom, it still maintained a strong influence in the Custa region of the Changhe Kingdom. Therefore, the northern Custa region hardly obeyed the central government of the Changhe Kingdom.
Because Liangguo was its important ally, Liangguo acquiesced and condoned the activities of Luzhiguo in the Custa area.
The Custa people even provided convenience to the people in Chichi, and even asked people from Chichi to serve as instructors to train their armed forces.
The unique geographical location of the Cuesta area makes the Dingtian organization of Luzhi a treasure.
First of all, the Cuesta Plateau is mountainous, making it easy to hide. Furthermore, the Kusta region is adjacent to the Jade Khanate, and it is only over 600 kilometers away from Plateau City.
Although medium-range missiles cannot be deployed here, it is uniquely advantaged to establish a full-band listening station.
The monitoring station has a formal organization number, but insiders are accustomed to referring to it by its nickname, which is "Treble".
The heads of Treble Base are Mel and Natalie Rubinstein, a couple that is rare in the intelligence community. Treble Base is a typical mom-and-pop shop.
Mel Rubinstein is a native of Chicago, and his grandfather is a Holocaust survivor.
Mel is a top academic. He has been classmates with Natalie from college to Ph.D., and both of them are experts in mathematics, computer networks, and information communications.
They got married after graduation, taught together at the university, and trained a group of outstanding students, among whom Katz was one of the best.
The couple are both members of the Dingtian organization and are responsible for the design and construction of the airspace defense system in Chicago.
Katz walked into the couple's living room, which was also the board war room at the Treble Base. He handed Natalie the latest battle report from Port Ravi, and reported:
"It has been verified that we successfully intercepted 15 of the 17 rockets launched by the Jinjes organization towards Port Ravi last night, with an interception rate of 88%. Interceptions in several core areas such as government agencies, military, electric power and hospitals The rate reaches 100%.”
"Yes, it seems that the defense of the 'copper wall' has fully met the design standards." Natalie said.
"Yes, over the past few decades, these two teachers have led us to create the best anti-aircraft interception and defense system in the world. I am very honored to be able to participate in the 'Bronze Wall' project." Katz put his feet together and straightened up. Body, said proudly.
"Good things are always remembered. Our intelligence and operations departments have uncovered several conspiracies by the Yuhan people to covet the 'Copper Wall' system." Mel said with a hint of worry.
"Are you saying that the Yuhan people have always wanted to get the parameter list of the 'Copper Wall' defense system?" Katz asked.
"Katz, you know, our 'Copper Wall' defense system is a complex system engineering, involving 17 modules such as air and space, missiles, computers, communications, vehicles, etc., and is divided into hundreds of modules. All in all Hundreds of millions of parameters are intertwined into a network structure that combines reality and virtuality,” Natalie said.
"What we are building is a defense system. Fundamentally speaking, it is not difficult to attack, but it is too difficult to defend. This is how the design of the 'Copper Wall' system works, and the same is true for its confidentiality work." Meyer pointed out the core of his worries and continued. :
"We are not afraid of thieves, but we are afraid that thieves will miss us. Although we have successfully foiled several Jade Khan people's theft operations, it is difficult to ensure that we can maintain 100% confidentiality by always passively waiting for the Jade Khan people to infiltrate."
"But the 'Copper Wall' defense system is not static. We have been constantly optimizing and adjusting it. Even if the Yuhan people steal a certain version of the parameter table, it may not be completely useful." Kezi said with a little ease. .
"We are constantly optimizing, but the underlying logic and modules of the 'copper wall' system, the basic architecture of the modules and even 99% of the parameters remain almost unchanged. We are just decorating the house, and there will be no changes in the short-term foreseeable future. Knock this house down and rebuild it,” Natalie said.
"I understand. What's embarrassing for us is that on the one hand, the basic logic and structure of the 'Copper Wall' defense system will not change for a long time, and any version of the parameter table cannot be obtained by the Yuhan people. On the other hand, it is difficult to Prevent the Yuhan people from stealing again and again." Kezi said as if he had some understanding but didn't know why.
"Katz, you are over 40 years old, why aren't you married yet?" Mel asked.
Kezi was startled and looked at Natalie strangely, thinking, shouldn't my master's wife ask me this kind of question? Out of respect, he honestly confessed to the teacher:
"I have never met the right person. You also know that my mind is all on work. First, I worked with you day and night for more than ten years to develop the 'Copper Wall'. Last year, I followed you two here to build a long-wave receiving station. .I think it’s pretty good to be alone.”
"Kez, you have been following us in technical work. Unlike those intelligence and operations personnel, who fight on the front line and are often in danger. If I push you into danger in order to protect the 'Copper Wall', will you blame me? " Mel looked directly into Kez's eyes, waiting for his answer.
"The 'Copper Wall' system is like your child. I treat it like I care for my eyes. I am willing to do anything for it to protect the safety of thousands of people living in Chicago. I feel that I will be the best in my life." It’s worth it, give the order.” Kezi said firmly.
Mel glanced at Natalie and asked Kez with some hesitation: "We believe in your loyalty and bravery, but would you be willing to be called a traitor?"
Katz involuntarily took half a step back and looked at the couple in shock.
Meier explained: "Shamron II, the head of the intelligence and operations department, and we formulated a plan to send an agent who is both loyal and familiar with the 'Copper Wall' defense system to deceive the trust of the Yuhan people and give them a A fake 'Copper Wall' system parameter sheet."
Katz, who was extremely smart, understood it completely. He stood at attention again, raised his right hand in a military salute, and said firmly:
"Sir, I think Ketz is the most suitable person to implement this plan."
Half an hour later, in the small living room of Mr. and Mrs. Rubinstein, a regular meeting of all personnel of the Treble Base was held.
"We have just received the investigation report on the Jinjes organization's attack on Port Ravi last night. Two rockets broke through the 'copper wall' system, and one of them hit an oil tanker, killing three people." Mel Ru Binstein shouted solemnly and passionately, and continued angrily:
"The accident was caused by a system loophole in the 'Copper Wall' system. After investigation, it was found that the loophole was caused by the carelessness of a self-righteous so-called technical expert here." Mel glanced at the crowd with a knife-like gaze, stopping at On Kez.
Kezi stood up and said with a red face: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I will pay attention to it in the future."
"Is it okay if I'm sorry? This is not a game, it's about killing people! You've made mistakes not once or twice. I've always given you opportunities, but I can't protect you this time." Rubinstein was about to continue his attack.
Katz, who has always been gentle, suddenly made an astonishing move. He bounced the folding chair one meter away with his right leg and fell to the ground.
As he left angrily, he muttered: "I have always been treated as a coolie, and when something happened, I was made to bear the responsibility. None of the promotions and honors I was promised were fulfilled. I can't stand it." You guys."
Rubinstein, whose authority had never been challenged, looked gloomy at this moment, and the air was so solid that it was suffocating.
Ten days later, an inconspicuous technical consultant appeared in the office area of the Dingtian Organization Headquarters Action Team in Port Ravi.
Katz boredly opened the envelope given to him by the personnel department, which contained the results of his treatment:
"He made a serious mistake at work and was transferred to another position and demoted."
