1010: Chapter 979: Hurricane Rescue!
Funds are Burning!
Ergencies demand exceptional asures!
Since conventional approaches have proven ineffective, our only option is to take a less trodden, more unorthodox path.
In the afternoon,
after consultations and negotiations, the Science Academy agreed to lend three supercomputers to the joint task force for the investigation.
These computers were originally busy with predicting teorological disasters, editing the genetics of herbs and various animal and plant species, and initiating the design of a new type of transport aircraft.
Each project required very fast and powerful computing capabilities, which is why they employed supercomputers.
But the urgency of the case now burns like a fire singeing our eyebrows.
Wu Jie proposed global surveillance monitoring; it was a last resort.
Who runs the beauty market?
Who are the masterminds orchestrating it?
Who are the mbers responsible for carrying out various specific affairs?
Who are the secret mbers of the organization…?
We know absolutely nothing, not a single thing, making it impossible to infiltrate and steal their secrets.
In desperation, we have to resort to the most straightforward and crude thod.
But…
This thod is too aggressive.
Surveillance monitoring across the globe…
That ans that every single phone call, text ssage, voice or video chat, photo and audio ssage from everyone in the world…
Regardless of who they are, their profession, or their age.
Nothing will be secret any longer.
What does this imply?
It ans the secrets of many will be laid bare like glass.
The scheming of politicians, the dealings of businessn, the sweet nothings of lovers, the private lives of celebrities, the casual chats among friends…
No one wants every single one of their secrets exposed to strangers, even if they’re not used for malevolent purposes.
It’s like having soone constantly watching over your shoulder while you speak or act.
Who would feel comfortable with that?
Normally, when mobile phone users install various apps, they are always first reminded to agree to various privacy terms.
If you don’t agree, you can’t use the app, but if you do agree, it ans that your personal information and actions on the app platform are no secret to the operators.
So people don’t care, thinking it’s no big deal.
But others are extrely particular and take it very seriously.
Now, to solve the case and to thoroughly root out these cunning and evil criminals, we have no choice but to do this.
But if we must proceed, we must also take great care to prevent any leaks.
The vast majority of adults take their personal privacy very seriously.
It’s not uncommon for even spouses and lovers to be unaware of each other’s computer and phone boot passwords or paynt codes.
Deep down, many people harbor an unntionable side and many little secrets.
Therefore, this matter must be conducted with utmost caution and precision, as knowledge of it leaking to the public would truly be a ss.
The task that Wu Jie is undertaking would, upon exposure, result in more than just punishnt; it would undoubtedly shock the world.
Can people tolerate becoming “transparent” like this?
When the ti cos, it’s not just hatred toward Wu Jie that will surge, but murderous intent as well.
Therefore, in Wu Jie’s communication with the Science Academy, he did not ntion that the supercomputers were being borrowed to surveil and monitor the globe and analyze various data.
He doesn’t tell the joint task force either; the fewer people who know, the more secure the operation will be.
Besides that,
efficiency is also key.
Even though Wu Jie could use the guise of upgrading the Skynet System for the Security Bureau to obtain a large amount of dostic data,
and the excuse of modifying and perfecting the Intelligence Analysis System for the War Statistics Institute to access a vast amount of international data,
the process of data acquisition, intelligence analysis, and evidence tracking…
must be fast.
There can be no dawdling; otherwise, Lin Yuan could be spirited away to who knows where long before she’s rescued.
Fortunately, right after Wu Jie’s eting disbanded, he received a “good news” from the joint task force.
Although previous conventional thods have been proven ineffective, the task force must do sothing since it was established, right?
As a result,
the task force also began to ‘blaze new trails.’
On one hand, they planned to broadly contact various families and powers.
This ‘beauty market’ has existed for so many years; it couldn’t be possible that dostic tycoons and influential families haven’t had any contact with them, could it?
The task force didn’t believe this.
They figured that so dostic powers and the wealthy must have co into contact with the organization, and it’s even possible that they’re mbers of it.
If legitimate investigative tactics didn’t work, why not try a new, indirect strategy?
On the other hand,
they also strengthened border controls.
If Lin Yuan was to be kidnapped out of the country, normal routes are impossible.
Whether it is taking an international flight directly abroad, or traveling by cruise ship or land bus, customs would need to be cleared.
Her identity has already been marked for close monitoring, and her kidnappers wouldn’t be foolish enough to take such risks.
Their only way out of the country would be to smuggle.
The extensive coastlines and land borders can’t be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Cracking down on smuggling, blocking illegal trafficking channels, strengthening border control…
Although these asures weren’t directly helpful in finding Lin Yuan and other missing persons, they at least reduced the likelihood of Lin Yuan being smuggled out of the country.
The longer she stayed in the country, the higher the chances of locating her.
Otherwise, once abroad, finding her would be extrely difficult, practically impossible.
…
The task force’s new thinking and actions ca just in ti for Wu Jie.
Especially reinforcing border control and checkpoint inspections.
By trapping the kidnappers holding Lin Yuan within the country, preventing them from leaving, they would definitely seek other routes and inevitably communicate with the hiring client or the organization’s leaders.
Once they began to communicate, it would provide Wu Jie with the opportunity to monitor and listen in.
Any phone calls, text ssages, voice or video chats that ntion Lin Yuan’s na or feature her likeness will quickly be traced and followed up with further tracking.
…
Ti is both money and life!
Wu Jie nad this extrely large and vigorous operation “Hurricane Rescue.”
This rescue operation received strong support from many departnts.
It would center around the artificial intelligence program, Blue Planet, and be powered by four supercomputers.
A vast array of satellites, listening stations, and reconnaissance planes would supply electronic communication data.
Silent hacking and secret interception of various social communication software would serve as the source for network communication data.
The entire operation’s cost was definitely “millions by the minute,” and to describe it as “burning money” would be most apt.
Of course, with this rate of spending, it wasn’t money being burned sheet by sheet, but bundles of cash ablaze.
Man struggles for a breath of air!
Sparing no expense, they would launch this operation, even at the risk of utilizing the artificial intelligence program Blue Planet.
What for?
Not only because Lin Yuan was a friend and a great beauty but also because for many years, too many beautiful won had vanished without a trace.
Even more so because Wu Jie simply refused to believe in defeat.
With the system possessed by the old man, could they really not root out this bunch of cunning felons?
No matter the cost, they must “see the person if alive, see the body if dead.”
So…
Ti naturally is money.
After the Science Institute agreed to divert the supercomputers, Wu Jie let Tang Xiao and her team discuss the scientific research collaboration plans, unhurriedly.
He quickly found Du and had the War Statistics Institute divert a dedicated communications cable for tily data information sharing and connectivity, since the three supercomputers were not located in the sa place.
Additionally, a geosynchronous orbit communications satellite was commandeered for ergency communications backup.
The Earth is round, and it orbits the sun.
That ans there will always be night and day on different ends of the planet.
So places experience nightfall; elsewhere, it is the break of day.
Human daily activities mostly follow the pattern of working during the day and resting at night.
But unforeseeable events may cause a surge in communication traffic, so an ergency backup is very important.
The preliminary big data analysis task was assigned to these three supercomputers.
The more in-depth and challenging tasks were handed over to Blue Planet.
It was an artificial intelligence program that operated on a supercomputer capable of twenty quintillion calculations per second, able to perform rapid eavesdropping, precise filtering, accurate tracking, and intelligent identification.
The most core tasks were kept utmost confidential by Wu Jie, even Zheng and Du didn’t know about them.
…
Ti is also life.
Wu Jie had done everything he could.
Yet, this large-scale and technically complex rescue operation still required hours to officially launch.
After all, the supercomputers needed to clear historical data, network with each other, and connect.
Certain technical restrictions had to be placed on Blue Planet to prevent it from exploiting the chance to connect to the internet and sneak into it.
All the different sources of intelligence data also required classification and integration, and even the whole operation process needed testing.
But the case was urgent, and the situation waited for no one.
Fang Qingya was still asking every hour how things were going.
Wu Jie could only say that they had begun an intensive search, as for the details…
there was simply no ti to ntion them.
In the evening.
Wu Jie had Du arrange for a heavy air dominance fighter to take off directly from the suburban Air Force Base, rushing back to Science Research City in just over an hour for a two-thousand-kiloter journey.
Otherwise, heading to Liuli City International Airport to catch a flight to Jiahuan City, then transferring to a car to Technology City…
it would all be too late.
The airport under construction within Technology City had already completed its runway, stretching over three kiloters, enough to satisfy the large Airbus A380 or Boeing 787 to take off and land.
But for a fighter jet capable of short-range take-offs and landings, a one-kiloter runway was more than sufficient.
Of course.
The sudden landing of a fighter jet at an airport still wrapping up construction, not yet officially open for test flights, was certainly a surprise.
An even bigger surprise was that the fighter jet, carrying large auxiliary fuel tanks, briefly ca to a halt on the runway.
Shortly after soone jumped out, it revved up with blazing orange flas from the engines and took off with a roar.
What does this an?
The fighter jet doubling as a taxi and could just touch down, taking passengers on and off in a pinch?
Jesus!
Can fighter jets even offer passenger services?
How much would a ticket for such a flight cost?
Is it counted as business or first-class?
And where would one even purchase it?
Who could arrange it?
Many who witnessed this scene were filled with curiosity.
If you want to know, why not ask the ‘passenger’ the fighter jet dropped off?
Hence!
The construction contractors at the airport hurriedly sent people and vehicles over, and when they saw Wu Jie walking briskly on the taxiway, they were all taken aback.
Not taking comrcial flights or official planes, but actually arriving on a fighter jet.
This treatnt…
Seriously freaking cool!
Wu Jie was neither in the mood nor had the ti to explain anything, urging them to drive him straight to the Intelligence Center.
Upon arrival, he forbade anyone from approaching the Intelligence Center without notice.
He then headed straight for the main control room, imdiately imrsing himself in work.
He paused Blue Planet’s scientific research tasks, letting it fully engage in the Hurricane Rescue operation.
Rembering Lin Yuan’s na, appearance, background information, and various other details.
Once the network was successfully established, the torrent of data surged into the large data center in an instant.
Blue Planet began working imdiately.
Multi-machine networking, the four supercomputers, unleashed awe-inspiring computing power.
At speeds exceeding a hundred quintillion calculations per second, they scoured through the vast sea of data, searching for any trace of Lin Yuan.
Every minute, every second, was burning funding…
