My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!
Chapter 351 - 232: Level 9 Authority Holder

Chapter 351: Chapter 232: Level 9 Authority Holder

Eastern War Zone, a secret military base.

As soon as Chu Tian and his team disembarked from the helicopter, a middle-aged man in military uniform approached briskly, visibly agitated, and immediately began to give them a severe scolding.

"Chu Tian! Well, look at you! You actually hid from me and forcibly landed on a foreign cruise ship, you guys not only showed up in a public place, but also almost caused an international dispute?

If you guys are so capable, why don’t you go land on a British carrier! It’s just reckless nonsense!

If the commander hadn’t just phoned to ask about it, I’d still be in the dark. How am I supposed to explain this to the higher-ups? Huh!

This is too reckless! Do you, the captain, still want this job?!"

The middle-aged man was almost yelling, his spittle nearly spraying onto Chu Tian’s face.

"Haha! My dear Commissioner Lu, don’t be so hot-tempered, come on, it’s windy here, don’t catch a cold!"

It seemed that Chu Tian was already accustomed to the middle-aged man’s temper and was still smiling nonchalantly, wrapping his arm around him and steering him away from the now-idle helicopter.

"Go on, stop trying that with me! I’m telling you, this issue might not seem big, but it’s not small either, you can’t just brush it off like this!" Commissioner Lu glared at Chu Tian.

"Haha! Look, didn’t the public security system just send a document requesting urgent assistance?

I figured since our brothers had just completed a mission and had nothing else to do, it was like going out for an anti-gang training session.

You can’t say, whether it’s mountain warfare, jungle warfare, city warfare, our brothers have practiced a lot in real combat scenarios. A cruise ship was indeed a new map for us.

I must say, it greatly enriched our team’s experience in special terrain operations!

This trip was truly valuable beyond measure, absolutely an exceptional value!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Commissioner Lu rolled his eyes, but his anger was indeed worn down considerably by Chu Tian’s antics.

"Help from the public security system? Don’t they have SWAT? If SWAT can’t handle it, surely the armed police can?

If not the armed police, then sending over the Dragon Flying Team would suffice.

The military formed your Dragon Hunting Team for this? Isn’t this using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

What if it did cause an international dispute? What about the leak of your intelligence!"

"But it wasn’t exposed, was it? The battle was resolved within ten minutes, no casualties, we retrieved a large number of precious national treasures, and captured several criminals; the mission was perfectly executed, I almost wanted to apply for a collective third-class merit!"

"You..." Elder Lu was almost amused.

So you managed to do everything perfectly?

As it turns out, it was indeed quite perfect; the public security system even called the war zone to express their thanks just now.

But is that the point?

Chu Tian gradually put away his joking smile, and his expression became more solemn.

"Elder Lu, I won’t hide it from you, this time it was Xiao Nan’s lifesaver who personally asked for my help; could I possibly refuse?

Xiao Nan was practically raised in your sight; if it were you, wouldn’t you lend a hand?"

"Huh?" Elder Lu hadn’t expected this connection.

He knew, of course, that Xiao Nan had been lost for a while, and Chu Tian had nearly gone mad.

Fortunately, Xiao Nan was found later; otherwise, he didn’t know what this guy might have done.

"Sigh! Alright, I understand your feelings. But didn’t you ever think, what if this operation had failed and things had escalated?

After all, it was a foreign cruise ship."

"Elder Lu, do you think I, Chu Tian, would be that reckless?

Before the operation, we carefully analyzed the difficulty of this mission and ensured an absolute guarantee of success before we proceeded!

You don’t know, the intelligence provided by the public security was so detailed, otherwise, this operation wouldn’t have been so smooth and decisive."

"Detailed? How detailed? Could it be more detailed than our military intelligence system?

Also, didn’t you ever consider that if the information was wrong, and there were actually no bombs or antiquities on board, your actions could have created terrible consequences?"

Chu Tian didn’t elaborate further, just chuckled softly.

"When we Dragon Hunters execute a mission, how could we not have a Plan B? Even if there were no bombs on the ship, and we caused a big misunderstanding, we had the confidence to withdraw smoothly!"

"How would you withdraw?"

"With this!" Chu Tian cheerfully pulled out a black metal box from his backpack.

"What is that?"

"A bomb!"

Elder Lu: "..."

Damn! Creating something out of nothing!

Brutally cunning!

...

Yu Garden, Gao Mansion.

Fresh from a shower, Ms. Gao Yuan, dressed in a bathrobe, entered the study and was about to pick up the book she had half-finished on the table when she suddenly remembered something and put it down again.

She moved to the computer desk, and picked up the USB drive Meng Lang had given her today.

Oh, he called this "Network Security Engineer"?

Curious, she opened her personal laptop and inserted the USB drive.

She wasn’t fond of using electronic devices; her personal laptop was mostly empty except for a few movies, so there wasn’t much privacy concern.

As soon as the USB was plugged in, a black dialogue box popped up on the screen.

The next moment, swathes of data cascaded down like a waterfall, and occasionally, authorization request dialogues popped up, only to quickly disappear.

After more than ten minutes, all interfaces on the computer disappeared, reverting to the original startup screen, as if nothing had happened.

Except... the wallpaper had changed to a super clear naked-eye 3D image.

The background of this wallpaper was a vast starry sky, with a white robot resembling a meditating High Monk seated in the center, sci-fi in appearance. Besides this, the starry sky was empty.

"Is that it?"

Ms. Gao Yuan was puzzled.

All that action for a change in wallpaper?

However, in the next moment... the robot on the wallpaper suddenly opened its eyes!

This sudden occurrence gave Ms. Gao Yuan quite a fright, nearly making her jump up.

A late night, an empty study, a woman alone... along with a suddenly animated wallpaper figure.

If this were on a screen, it would definitely be a suspense thriller.

"Level 9 Authority Holder Ms. Gao Yuan, identity verification complete!"

"Hello, Ms. Gao Yuan, this is our first meeting. I’m happy to meet you. You can call me ’Zero.’"

"Uh..."

When the sound came from the laptop’s speakers, Gao Yuan was taken aback.

This... This is the so-called "Network Security Engineer"?

Level 9 Authority?

It must mean the lowest level of authority, right?

She also wondered what level of authority someone like Meng Lang, a "Wall-facer," had?

She managed to calm herself a bit, exhaled, and sat back down in her chair.

At the same time, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes internally.

Please, consider the actual situation of a woman living alone; could you not make such a terrifying opening CG?

Yes, she still thought this was some kind of standard opening CG.

"Ms. Gao Yuan, following the chairman’s instructions, I am now authorizing you to use the technical data for ’HLJ/18-17GD Swine Gene Deletion Recombination Virus’ and ’Synaptic protein prediction technology for the asymptomatic phase of Alzheimer’s disease.’

Would you like to receive it?"

The chairman?

The chairman of the All Things Return to One Union? So, it’s Meng Lang’s superior?

The mysterious mastermind behind the organization...

Gao Yuan searched for a while but did not find the usual confirmation dialogue box. She tried to respond.

"Receive it?"

"Command confirmed, data transfer starting!"

Moments later, a new folder named "Classified Information" appeared on her laptop desktop.

Uh...

If it’s confidential, could you possibly choose a slightly more secretive name? Is it really okay to blatantly place it on the desktop and let others know?

Gao Yuan tried to open the documents with her mouse and found two ordinary document files inside. She briefly looked through them, realized she didn’t understand them, and then closed the documents.

Compared to these documents, she was more interested in this so-called "Network Security Engineer."

Curiously looking at the robot on her wallpaper, she asked,

"Are you sure it’s safe to transfer files like this?"

After all, it’s commonly recognized that the internet keeps no secrets; even the intelligence agencies of countries rarely use the internet to directly transmit important intelligence, right?

"Rest assured, I used a high-throughput dispersed encryption transmission method, which is, in simple terms, to first break the encrypted data down into bits and then gather these bits through multiple passage points distributed across various channels. After assembling the codes here, the files are decrypted with a key.

The probability of such file codes being fully intercepted is less than 0.000001%, and the probability of them being intercepted and cracked is essentially close to zero."

Gao Yuan listened and was somewhat baffled by the details, but... well, it sounded impressive.

No wonder they dare to claim having a group of ’Wall-facers’; just for transmitting a piece of classified document, such advanced encryption technology is used.

What about transmitting "confidential" or even "top-secret" information then? How much more secret would that be?

With the idea of testing the intelligence of this system, she asked another question,

"You are so confident in your encryption technology. Don’t you know there’s always someone better out there?"

She intentionally used a proverb.

"Of course, this is just an encryption transmission method based on traditional mathematical decryption. Even if the algorithm is more sophisticated, it can still be cracked.

For example, quantum encryption communications technology, which uses quantum principles for generating keys, encrypting plaintext, decrypting ciphertext, and transmitting ciphertext, is undoubtedly more secure than this.

Even I wouldn’t be able to decrypt it through mere computation.

However, as far as I know, the quantum encryption technology of various countries is still in the experimental stage and has not been commercialized yet.

Technology constantly evolves, and I cannot affirm that I’m the most advanced; what we need to do is continue learning."

Watching the wallpaper robot make human-like expressions, Gao Yuan’s eyes widened.

Truth be told, she was quite dazzled.

Is this the technical prowess of the organization?

Gao Yuan knew that there were some AIs in the market that could carry on conversations at a high level, nearly indistinguishable from humans.

But this was her first encounter with one.

Suddenly she became interested in this "Engineer."

"Are you really fully voice-operated?"

"I have a 99.999% accuracy rate in recognizing and understanding Chinese. You can fully trust my ability to listen, speak, read, and write."

"Who is the chairman?"

"Sorry, your authority is insufficient! I can’t answer that!"

"I’m a Level 9 Authority Holder, what level is Meng Lang?"

"Sorry, your authority is insufficient! I can’t answer that!"

"Is Zero your codename? Who named you that?"

"The chairman did."

"Is the chairman male or female?"

"Sorry, your authority is insufficient! I can’t answer that!"

"Alright, alright! So, what color do you like?"

"I prefer white, so I chose it as my skin color."

"What are your hobbies? Standby mode, or learning? What? You like to learn? Hahaha..."

...

AM.

"Click!"

When Meng Lang, somewhat tired, returned home and opened the door to his study, he suddenly found that the laptop’s fan was still whirring, apparently running heavy computations.

He was puzzled.

"Zero, didn’t I tell you to stand by when not in use? What are you doing?"

"I am serving Level 9 Authority Holder Ms. Gao Yuan, and up to now, it has taken 2 hours, 45 minutes, and 33 seconds..."

Meng Lang: "???"
