Chapter 533 'Physical' Virus Attack
"Team position confirmed."
"Memphis, has crossed the 'Charlie Line', and no trajectory yaw has occurred."
" Andes, the 'Charlie Line' has been crossed, and the trajectory yaw will be corrected in 12 seconds"
"Grace, the 'Charlie Line' has been crossed, and the trajectory yaw has not occurred. "
After receiving the position report from the rest of the team, Baninger controlled the heavy combat body and stepped on a piece of gravel, corrected his trajectory and said:
"Received, continue to penetrate. Speed, we will cross the 'red line' in 120 seconds and will contact the target in 180 seconds."
"Received!"×3
The internal communication of the Immortal Legion is on the hive mind Developed, humans currently have no means to effectively detect this kind of communication. Therefore, although the dispatched Baninger tactical team and the Polarized Light temporarily disconnected and maintained radio silence, the tactical team can still detect Keep communicating.
When the Polarized Light collided with this sneaky reconnaissance ship at almost zero distance in the rubble zone, both Tom and Baninger realized that they must prevent the other party from sending signals to the garrison fleet. warn.
But after careful planning, everyone discovered that the task of "preventing the other party from issuing a warning" was more troublesome than they imagined.
First of all, the option of sinking the opponent directly was passed off from the beginning.
Not to mention whether the movements after sinking the opponent will be discovered by the enemy, thus putting them on alert in advance. After the garrison fleet discovered that the reconnaissance ship it had deployed was gone, it would not be interested in this gravel belt. The firepower coverage launched is not something that the polarized light signal can withstand.
Even if Baninger and the others have a way to quietly paralyze the other side's ship, there is no guarantee that this reconnaissance ship has any guaranteed emergency communication means or a way to send out an emergency signal?
Tom and Baninger did not dare to gamble.
So the final idea returned to the category of 'soft kill', and injecting an electronic warfare virus to paralyze the reconnaissance ship without alerting the guarding fleet became one of the most reliable methods currently.
According to the current general rules of the human navy in deploying 'secret sentries', this kind of secret sentry deployed in dangerous areas will remain silent at all times except for the moment when a warning is issued, and will not go anywhere. Take the initiative to contact other ships.
So after the electronic warfare virus paralyzes the ship, even if the reconnaissance ship never sends a message to the garrison fleet, the other party will most likely not be suspicious, and may even think that everything is normal here.
However, everything in the world has two sides. Although the silent state of this reconnaissance ship gave the Polarized Light a chance to take action, the 'silence' that completely enclosed itself also made the Polarized Light find that it seemed impossible to take action. ?
Military electronic warfare viruses are indeed powerful in invading systems, but the prerequisite is that they can be injected successfully. After all, no matter what kind of virus it is, it cannot appear in the opponent's system out of thin air.
But this reconnaissance ship is like a completely closed sandbox, leaving the Polarized Light with no place to start.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Tom suddenly remembered a secret mission that Polarized Light carried Amber on. During that mission, in order not to alert the snake, the Polarized Light was deployed at an extremely long distance. Po was thrown out and finally successfully completed the infiltration
Thinking of this, Tom couldn't help but look at Baninger on the screen.
"Captain Tom, do you have any questions?"
"Legion Commander, if you don't have as many restrictions as humans, do you have more freedom than humans in extravehicular activities? ?”
"You are right to say that. So Captain, what are you going to do?"
After flashing back to the discussion of tactical scenarios before the attack, Baninger, who was 'walking' in space, had to lament Tom's The idea is still very strange.
And he had to admit that the current hard work of crossing the gravel belt without power was indeed more suitable for the Immortal Legion to do.
No normal human being can do such a thing.
Of course, Amber and other psychics cannot be considered normal humans
Since the target reconnaissance ship was renovated with the help of Atlas during the 'honeymoon period', Tom, who learned a lot about the reconnaissance ship after being incorporated into the combat fleet, quickly found the destiny of this reconnaissance ship. .
In order to facilitate quick maintenance in the dock and on the battlefield, there are many dedicated maintenance windows on the outside of ships of both the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire.
Some are physical inspection channels that allow maintenance robots to enter after being opened, while others are 'virtual' inspection channels that allow maintenance personnel to quickly check the status of each module of the ship from the outside.
Although the latter also has protective measures, they are not that strict. Its most efficient protective method is to set it to only accept signals within a few meters, which directly eliminates 99% of remote attacks.
As for invading within a few meters of the ship and launching an attack on the access port, in the view of ship designers, it is basically something that will never happen.
After all, during normal combat, no matter what kind of ship it is, it will not let its opponent invade within a few meters of itself.
What's more, you have invaded within a few meters. Instead of directly carrying out physical attacks on the ship, you are here to engage in electronic warfare virus intrusion? Isn't this a brain disease or something?
So in the area of 'virtual' maintenance channels, no matter what kind of ship it is, no improvements have been made. After all, in the emergency rest state, these 'access points' all over the ship can indeed greatly improve Maintenance personnel's work efficiency
But it also gives the polarized light signal a chance.
“Attention everyone, there are still 30 seconds to cross the red line. Start your disguise!”
"Roger that!" .
With the rapid inflation of the compressed gas bottle, when the four people emerged from behind the gravel again, they had curled up into a ball and were surrounded by inflatable camouflage on the outside, and other small gravel in the gravel belt. Nothing different.
This camouflage kit, which was removed from several camouflage satellites, was originally intended for the Immortals to try to conduct training on camouflaging themselves into important targets, but they didn’t expect that they would fast forward before they had time to train. Come to actual combat.
But given the ‘right time, right place and right people’, the effect of this disguise and infiltration tactic was better than everyone expected.
In order to maintain concealment, the reconnaissance ship temporarily turned off all active detection equipment except for combat probes to reduce its presence as much as possible. It relied on a set of omnidirectional optical and infrared warning equipment to monitor the surrounding area.
While the four Banningers were unfolding their camouflage, a group of gravel floating from other directions also rushed towards the scout ship, so Banninger and the others also took advantage of the situation to blend in, preparing to Take the opportunity to cross this last distance.
On the reconnaissance ship, the air surveillance team quickly discovered the existence of this group of rubbles. While quickly marking it, he also reported:
"Captain, a group of rubbles was detected. Grouping gravel, the movement trajectory will intersect with the position of the ship."
"What is the relative speed?"
"264-412 meters per second." "Will the impact cause damage to this ship?" the captain of the reconnaissance ship asked.
Since the reconnaissance ship has already spread out a large number of combat probes and connected them with carbon nanotubes, rashly changing the current position of the ship will inevitably affect these combat probes , will also cause the target tracking of unknown units in the G9 area to be interrupted.
So unless these gravels will cause damage to the hull, the captain of the scout ship does not want to make hasty position adjustments.
“Judging from the calculated kinetic energy, it does not exceed the defense threshold of the hull’s outer armor!”
"Then prepare to accept the impact. The attitude control system activates the 'adaptive mode' to offset the position deviation caused by the impact of gravel to the greatest extent! The 'compressed air attitude air component' of each combat probe is unlocked and stabilized immediately after the impact. Location! ”
“Yes! Captain! ”
Soon, the reconnaissance ship issued a broadcast of "The whole ship is preparing for impact", and everyone tightened their security guards. Or secure yourself to prevent yourself from being thrown away in the event of an impact.
Tens of seconds later, a series of rubbles floated past the location of the scout ship, many of which hit the hull, making a 'dong-dong' sound when they hit the outer armor plate.
At the same time as the impact occurred, the attitude control systems throughout the reconnaissance ship's hull were also continuously operating to minimize the displacement impact caused by the impact. The limited-capacity compressed air carried on those combat probes, It also started to work, trying to stabilize its posture.
It didn't take long for this series of rubble to pass through the location of the reconnaissance ship, and calm returned to the rubble belt.
But no one noticed that four uniquely shaped gravels left some small gifts for the reconnaissance ship after they hit the hull.
——
“All equipment has been online, and it is expected to break through the other party’s access firewall in 30 seconds. It is estimated that the other party will discover the abnormality at least 10 minutes later, and the execution of the plan will not be affected for the time being.”< br>
After everyone in the team completed the 'physical' invasion of the assigned access port, Baninger immediately followed the progress of the four external intrusion devices.
After the four members of the tactical team 'collided' near the access port disguised as gravel, they all left behind a set of external devices attached to the opponent's armor plate, and these devices immediately began to invade the access port after they came online. .
For Atlas, who has Lilith conducting hacking and electronic warfare virus research and development around the clock, conventional network protection measures are basically difficult to protect.
Not to mention that these external intrusion devices are physically connected to the access port through a large number of carbon nanotubes that are thinner than a hair.
So on board this reconnaissance ship Before the control personality could react, the four groups of electronic warfare viruses that launched attacks at the same time quietly broke through the battleship's firewall and quickly began to 'self-reproduce' and gradually infected other systems in the ship.
Although the warship will separate a large number of cabins through air-tight doors during combat, the various systems are still linked through a standard bus.
Although according to the information security regulations of naval ships, there will still be internal firewalls to isolate the system, but in the face of Lilith's "refined" electronic warfare virus, as long as there is any information interaction between equipment and equipment, systems and systems, then Not immune.
"Legion Commander, is our mission completed?"
"Yes, the electronic warfare virus has already spread within the target system. According to the current progress, it will not take long for all The subsystems will all escape each other's control."
"What about the four of us?"
Memphis, who asked this question, is still in disguise at this moment, like a piece of gravel. It was still floating in space, but judging from his predicted path, it wouldn't take long for him to float out of this gravel area.
In order to avoid detection, the four heavy combat bodies did not carry any power components. From beginning to end, they used the initial speed gained when they separated from the Polarized Light.
So at this time, there is basically no need to think about going back. This is why Tom finally agreed to this plan. Only these 'digital beings' of the Immortal Legion can do this without any burden.
If Tom sends a real person to perform such a task, he will be labeled as "anti-human".
“Execute the destruction command, and then break away from the combat body. Although it is a pity, these four heavy combat bodies basically cannot be recovered.”
Banninger After all, he had followed Atlas all the way when it was very poor, so even with Atlas's production capacity now, this kind of heavy combat body is produced in batches, and he still feels a little distressed subconsciously.
Others in the tactical team did not hesitate after hearing Banninger's order, and immediately executed a timed destruction command.
When the timer expires, the combat body will begin to melt from the inside out, eventually becoming a pile of completely indistinguishable scrap metal.
Shortly after everyone in the tactical team left, the people on the reconnaissance ship also made discoveries.
However, it was not that the reconnaissance ship was infected with an electronic warfare virus, but that there was a new situation in the unknown target group in the G9 area they had been monitoring.
“Report! The unknown unit in the G9 area is gradually leaving the influence of the ‘Grand Rubion’. Optical and infrared sensors have captured the target, and the shipboard control personality is identifying some target characteristics!”
"Report! Characteristic identification completed, the database matched the characteristics of the Hydra-class heavy cruiser and the Griffin-class light cruiser!
No matching characteristics were found in the database for the other two types of targets, but the personality of the shipboard controller is speculated to be Battleship and heavy cruiser level targets!
In addition, a very large independent target was detected, number 1, which was determined to be the 'Infinity' that appeared before! "
After hearing the air surveillance team! After the report, the captain of the reconnaissance ship immediately concluded that the unknown unit group in the G9 area was Atlas's combat fleet, and what the main force of the garrison fleet was currently guarding against was most likely the bait released by the opponent!
"Quick! Issue a warning! At the same time, our ship is also preparing to evacuate this rubble area!"
Without any hesitation, the captain of the reconnaissance ship immediately issued an order to issue a warning and evacuate.
"Yes, Captain! Waiting, communication unit failure? Forced offline?!"
The next moment, the lights on the entire bridge dimmed.
