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.
...Surprised?
Surprised?
The most advanced, futuristic, and famous codenamed 117 lost power and crashed!
The reason it's called a ghost isn't because it's invisible, but because it's difficult to detect on radar.
The one who can restrain the ghost hasn't appeared yet, which is why it's so unrestrained.
Who would have thought that today, on the eve of the Lunar New Year, which was just about to be tested for its performance, the FAST telescope would bring down a ghost.
"Coordinates, coordinates, I need coordinates!" Commander Li shouted frantically.
The most crucial thing now is to determine the ghost's location—where did it fall?
Coincidentally, the place where the ghost fell was called Victory City, which is famous for its oil production.
This city has a unique characteristic: its basic green spaces are all filled or covered with soil brought in from other places.
Due to the saline-alkali geological conditions, nothing grows, and when you dig for infrastructure projects, you immediately encounter water.
Therefore, it resulted in significant costs for subsequent urban development, and it was also detrimental to the construction of seaports, and the fishing industry was not very developed.
Of course, there are also fishing ports, such as Guangli Port, which used to be a small fishing village and seems to still be a fishing village now, though it's a bit larger than before.
The crash site is in the eastern part of Victory City, near the sea. This area is considered uninhabited, with large areas of shrimp and sea cucumber farming.
Commander Li quickly reported the situation. Shengli City has many key protected areas, including not only WJ, but also garrisoned teams.
Furthermore, it is home to the only remaining cavalry battalion in the J district.
All available resources in this area were mobilized.
All roads to the east were blocked. Coincidentally, it was very close to a certain airport in Shengli City. This was an alternate airport, not a civilian one, but it was later converted to civilian use.
The FAST telescope landed first, followed by a small squadron of escort aircraft, while the rest returned to base.
The Ghost's crash triggered a state of alert, with all radars activated along the entire eastern coast.
The early hours of the first day of the Lunar New Year are destined to be a sleepless night.
Many experts and engineers were awakened by the urgent ringing of the telephone.
Multiple flights flew directly from various parts of the country to Shengli Airport, marking the highest number of takeoffs and landings the airport has recorded since its establishment.
Many helicopters also joined in the fun, carrying even more people.
Xing Baohua also saw a lot of heavy firecrackers coming over and setting up defenses around the airport. These 10x10 large trucks are a rare sight.
Xing Baohua and Xiao Tian were assigned to the airport duty room, since it was much warmer there.
Not long after refueling, the FAST telescope took off again to carry out its mission.
It's meant to protect this area of sea and airspace in the east. The ghost has fallen; who knows if it will retaliate? We need to be prepared, on high alert as if facing a formidable enemy.
Many generals, some he knew and some he didn't, all smiled and told Xing Baohua that he had performed a great feat.
I wouldn't dare accept that; it was just a lucky coincidence.
Despite its advanced technology and ubiquitous use of various electronic products, Ghost is still operating within the structure of electronic products.
Just like the research on graphite bombs by various countries, they weren't designed to target short circuits in integrated circuits.
If the other party's electronic devices are not connected to the internet and cannot be hacked from the outside, only graphite bullets can be effective.
Many generals wanted to hear Xing Baohua's thought process, how he came up with this move.
The venue was rudimentary, but no one paid any attention to that.
Xing Baohua said, "As you all know, the word 'hacker' wasn't originally a derogatory term. It was a job title, which means finding vulnerabilities in software and patching them."
As times progress, some people have become ulterior motives and use this job to make money. Every software and hardware has vulnerabilities; it's just a matter of how you find and exploit them.
Nowadays, most hackers make money by exploiting vulnerabilities, hacking into your computer, and stealing useful information.
The Ghost's defining characteristic is its advanced electronic equipment; the more advanced something is, the more vulnerabilities it contains. Vulnerabilities can only be patched once they're discovered; many people can't find them themselves and have to hire someone else to do it.
This gave us an opportunity. We exploited a vulnerability in GPS location transmission to infiltrate the system in a very short time, leaving behind a remotely controllable virus. Then, using extremely high-frequency data connections, we successfully entered the ghost system. Without the virus we planted earlier, we wouldn't have been able to complete this operation at all, or even establish a connection.
Xing Baohua's words opened up a new strategic direction for the leaders. Electronic warfare is not just a matter of power output, but also about infiltrating the enemy's defenses.
The searchlight on the helicopter searched a certain area in the air, and then a report came in saying that the target had been spotted.
The area where the accident occurred is currently difficult for vehicles to access. Due to the large amount of silt carried by the Yellow River estuary, the area is muddy and sandy, making it easy for vehicles to get stuck.
Those who can get there by helicopter are all big shots.
The cavalry battalion came in handy; there were many reeds here, in addition to mud and sand.
Getting in and out late at night is incredibly difficult, but we have to get in no matter how hard it is. Besides securing the scene immediately, we also need to search for any loose pieces, and if we had the ability, we'd even like to move them away that very night.
Moving at midnight is not an option; many conditions cannot be met.
Xing Baohua and his colleagues didn't go to the site this time. They were given cots to sleep on for a while, and they would wait until the top experts from all over the country gathered at dawn.
You can't sleep well, since it's an airport, and not just a backup airport, but also a field airport, so the soundproofing is terrible.
With planes taking off and landing frequently, who could possibly fall asleep amidst the deafening roar?
