Rebirth: Let's Talk About 1984

According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.

...

Chapter 642 Who Has Paper?

The section chief looked at the beautiful and talented student who had come from the front, and finally agreed to let him do the repairs, but added the previous guy as well.

Even if the main server database is destroyed and repaired, there's not much data inside, but the videotapes can show what happened.

Although Xiao Tianna had demagnetized the video, he wasn't sure if it was completely removed. If even a small portion of the video could be recovered, it would provide the enemy with crucial clues.

He came along this time to neutralize the magnetism; with someone by his side, it's difficult to make a move.

There are many tapes; they need to be restored one by one.

First, place it on the device being repaired to check if there are any magnetic particles left. Because the signal of the magnetic tape is very weak, it is generally difficult to repair once it is demagnetized.

Sometimes, luck plays a part in this.

What if a section wasn't erased and can be restored? Wouldn't that give away the secret?

The professional equipment is a Sony product; these are rarely available on the market and are usually custom-made for special organizations.

Xiao Tian was in charge of watching the videos, while his colleague was in charge of operating the repair equipment.

When a flickering image is seen on the screen, the process stops, a mark is made, a section of the cassette tape is taken out of the bag, magnetized, and then the image is stabilized using the device.

Xiao Tian's palms were sweating as he racked his brains trying to figure out how to make his move.

Suddenly, he thought of a clever idea. In order to control the monitoring system, he had Lao Wang connect a cable to the host computer.

The repair equipment is connected to the monitor, meaning the power supply is on the same line.

"Keep an eye on things, I don't know what I ate this morning, my stomach is killing me!" Xiao Tian clutched his stomach with one hand and his buttocks with the other. He bounced around a couple of times, trying to indicate that he couldn't hold it in any longer.

The underground ventilation is poor; even a fart could be a biological attack. If even a little bit leaks out, this room will be uninhabitable.

The colleague quickly waved his hand, urging him to go.

Xiao Tian grabbed his toolbox and ran in that instant.

When the section chief saw him running out, he asked where he was going.

Without turning his head, he said, "Excrement."

He ran a few steps and came back, asking the section chief, "Where is the restroom?"

The section chief pointed to the end of the corridor and said, "It's just around the corner."

As Xiao Tianna entered the restroom and reached for the tablet, he seemed to hear faint footsteps. He quickly squatted down and, in a moment of inspiration, used his vocal cords to imitate the crackling and popping sounds.

Finally, let me say "comfortable yoshi" again.

He tried to connect his tablet to the Wi-Fi signal. He knew a group of people were repairing the database, and the main unit was powered on, so he might be able to connect to the hidden wireless network.

Luckily, I was able to connect, but the signal was a bit weak.

I quickly created a small program by writing code on the tablet with one hand, which is also a technique I learned when I was working as a hacker, involving violently destroying botnets.

Xing Baohua has completely corrupted them, and this has also corrupted many of their haters!

It attacks circuit chips in virus mode, increases voltage, and instantly burns out the hardware.

In a mere ten minutes, they had completed the attack on the circuit board in the monitoring room, and incidentally burned out the Sony repair machine as well.

The fact that no one noticed the thread is a good omen.

The person in the monitoring room was startled when he saw smoke coming from several devices. He rushed out in a panic, and because the tapes were flammable, he soon saw open flames.

The section chief heard the shouts, and people from the Security Bureau and Metropolitan Police Department nearby also heard them. They all ran over to check the situation. As soon as they saw the open flames, they tried to salvage the tapes.

The Japanese used mostly plastic materials, which are very easy to burn. With the cassette tape fueling the fire, it grew bigger and bigger.

Xiao Tian hurriedly deleted and formatted the device, as restoring and booting it up would take a long time. Hearing shouts outside, he put the tablet in his bag, unbuckled his belt, and ran out, pulling up his pants with both hands.

He kept shouting, "Does anyone have paper? Does anyone have paper?"
