Crisis Management Game

Gu Ji placed the photos in front of him. On them were some blurry but recognizable UFOs. They were the evidence he had taken with a Polaroid camera in the Rundle Forest.

"You! Where did you get these?"

When Holt saw the photo, his face turned pale instantly and he subconsciously wanted to snatch it.

However, Gu Ji swiftly avoided the question and replied calmly, "Of course I took the photo."

Brian's expression kept changing, and his eyes became more and more serious: "So, your purpose is also to fight for these unidentified objects?"

"I'm not interested in these things. What I care about is the truth behind these mysterious phenomena."

Gu Ji shook his head slightly and said calmly: "Perhaps we can make a deal. I have more clues about these mysterious objects. As long as you agree to let me get involved, I can provide you with this information."

"Do you think you are qualified to negotiate with us? You can't even protect yourself now!"

Holt laughed in anger.

But Gu Ji was not afraid of his threats at all.

"You should know that it will take a long time to figure out the secrets of these UFOs by yourself, and the clues I have may help you save a lot of time and energy."

At this point, he paused deliberately:

"As for whether I'm a spy or not, does it matter as long as I can provide something valuable?"

indeed.

For the military, only the benefits that are in hand are the most real.

For this reason, friends can become enemies, and enemies can become friends again.

Brian thought for a long time.

After a moment, he raised his head and said, "I don't understand one thing. Since your 7472nd Unit is a non-state organization, why do you have such a strong intelligence gathering and processing capability?"

"This is our secret, but I can tell you..."

Gu Ji pretended to be mysterious and smiled, and brought out the pretentious words he had prepared long ago:

"Our members come from all over the world, with different backgrounds and expertise. We are all committed to exploring the hidden truth and protecting humanity from unknown threats. Just like in the BASF factory incident, we successfully prevented a crisis that could have caused a greater disaster. This time in London, I am also trying to stop the spread of smog pollution and anthrax."

"Even if what you said is true, how can you guarantee the authenticity of these clues?"

To this day, Holt still has doubts about everything he said.

“You can verify the authenticity of these photos first.”

Gu Ji handed the photo to Brian with a confident tone, not afraid at all that the other party would take advantage of him.

Because as long as these photos are verified with Penny, everything he said before will be credible.

Faced with such a huge wealth of intelligence.

Not to mention these two small military colonels, even if Prime Minister Churchill himself came, he would be excited!

Brian and Holt looked at each other, and each saw hesitation and weighing in the other's eyes.

"7472..."

Brian kept mumbling this special string of numbers, and finally said, "We need to report this matter for discussion. During this period, you must stay at the base and cannot leave our sight."

"no problem."

Gu Ji readily agreed, "But I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. After all, time waits for no one..."

Looking at the two people slowly walking away, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

This bunch of fabricated stories barely established the character of Unit 7472.

According to the timeline, this should be the first time that 7472 showed up in front of the world's top intelligence agencies, truly establishing its position as the originator of modern crisis management.

At the same time, he also successfully took back the words he had casually left on the organization's poster:

Mission Duty originated in 1918!

As long as he can pass the level successfully this time, whenever he encounters the levels after 1952, the "Unit 7472" will completely become his trump card to help him easily exchange for benefits and resources.

But Gu Ji still felt a little worried.

Because he remembered the first time he entered the game, the Ryder Airport Massacre and the Japanese Diamond Star Cruise level, Gillian from the FBI and Watanabe Takeshi from the Japanese Anti-Terrorism Intelligence Interception Room were very unfamiliar with the 7472 Unit.

Including Chen Zhiyu when he was still in the National Security Bureau, and countries around the world at the International Counter-Terrorism Summit in Romania, they were all extremely shocked when they saw the live broadcast of Unit 7472.

It was as if Unit 7472 had never appeared before.

Did the fact that Unit 7472 was previously unknown in the real world prove that...

He won't make it through this round.

Of course, there is another possibility.

After Bryan reported the matter to the top leaders of the Ministry of Defense, Churchill personally ordered all news to be blocked.

After all, this was the first time that Gu Ji revealed his true purpose as a member of the 7472nd Unit.

When it comes to the mysterious sphere, naturally the fewer people who know about it the better.

Just like the atomic bomb programs in the United States, the Soviet Union and China, during the development process, except for a very small number of people, the vast majority of researchers and soldiers had no idea what they were doing.

And his father, Gu Jian, was not even clear about the matter between the two heads of Public Security and National Security. In the end, it was Mr. Chen who spoke up personally to clear his father's name.

It can be seen that this kind of super secret information is always in the hands of the very few people!

Night falls.

The Bentwall base was shrouded in silence.

However, there were two soldiers standing guard outside Gu Ji's room, watching his every move at all times.

He sat on the edge of the bed, counting the time silently.

Next second.

[Goal: Ensure the safety of citizens in the southern area of ​​London (do our best to prevent any disaster from happening in the next 24 hours) Success! Current number of civilians infected: 0! ]

【Please choose your reward! 】

[Burst Up (Perfect)] or [Full Set of Special Operations Military Equipment * 1 (Historical Limited)]

That's right.

This is exactly the time when the previous round of tasks ended.

Seeing the prompt of success, Gu Ji could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as this difficulty is solved.

The remaining ultimate goals and side quests are relatively easy to handle.

Because until now, he still couldn't guess the purpose of the mastermind who used the anthrax powder leak to help Bakken escape from the base.

But when Gu Ji looked up and faced the options before him, he couldn't help but be speechless again.

"It seems my luck this round is really bad!"

Fortunately, I still had two chances to refresh the reward.

Now is a good time to give it a try and see if the bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle.

A flash of orange light.

Rewards start refreshing.

[Strength Enhancement (Perfect)] or [Weather Specialization (Perfect)]

really.

The effect is just different.

Both options that came out this time have been improved. The mark of strength can make up for the muscle defects of "Sahana", while the meteorological specialization can improve Gu Ji's ability to judge the natural environment of this smoke incident.

What a pity.

Since Gu Ji has chosen to cooperate with the military this time, the chances of using force are very slim.

As for the latter...

Although the increase seems significant, the ultimate number of deaths is actually mainly related to the policy implementation of London City Hall and the strengthening of the public health and medical system.

The most important point is that he is very clear about the final outcome of this crisis:

A sudden cold cyclone blew away the London smog.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This kind of extreme and sudden weather change is not something that an ordinary person like him can easily control. Even if he has mastered meteorological knowledge and skills, it will be of no help.

He even knew the exact time when the cold cyclone would appear, so he didn't even have to make a prediction.

"Want to gamble again?"

Gu Ji was a little confused for a moment.

Should I quit while I'm ahead, or try my luck with one last chance?

The main reason is that the two options in front of you are really "tasteless but a pity to throw away", but if the reward that is refreshed in the end is not as good as the one in front of you, it would be a big loss.

The sixty-second hesitation period was about to end.

Gu Ji gritted his teeth and used the refresh function again.

A flash of red light.

[Chain Home Advanced Long-Range Air Defense Radar*3 (Special Historical Limited)] or [Machine Language Assembly Expertise (Special Historical Limited)]

The bet was right!!

I didn't expect that two special limited rewards would appear at once.

Special [Chain Home Advanced Long-Range Air Defense Radar*3]: Based on the ground antenna array long-range early warning radar developed by the Watson-Watt team during World War II, it can achieve London airspace range, long-range sensitive early warning and complex command and control systems.

Gu Ji if you choose it.

There will be three opportunities to use the Advanced Radar.

But in this foggy weather, the only role he could think of was to warn of the location, trajectory and appearance time of unidentified flying objects!

Special [Machine Language Assembly]: This mark is based on the world's computer development knowledge level in 1952. Players will master basic machine language and assembly language, and be proficient in programming applications, simple calculations, and complex task processing.

What you need will come to you!

Without it, Gu Ji would definitely choose reward one.

There is no need to hesitate now.

Must get it!

Only by mastering computer skills could he bypass cooperation with the military and directly decipher the binary codes dictated by Penny, thereby learning the secrets in this guy's mind.

A flash of red light.

Gu Jizhi felt a pain in his brain, and instantly gained a lot of computer-related knowledge and skills.

"I see. The computer technology of this era is still too rudimentary..."

Compared to the modern computers he studied in college, computer technology in 1952 was rudimentary.

Almost all steps and processes need to be calculated manually.

Because early computers had extremely slow computing speeds, only reaching thousands of times per second, had only a few thousand bytes of memory, and used magnetic tapes as storage media, many complex tasks required a lot of manual assistance.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that abacus was used for calculations during the early development of the atomic bomb in China.

In this era without "automated translators", if you want to convert a piece of human-readable symbols into binary code, you can only do it manually.

For a single assembly instruction, a skilled programmer might need several minutes;

A complete program containing 1,000 instructions would take 10 to 30 hours to convert manually, and is prone to errors.

Finally, since it is impossible to run intermediate results directly, error troubleshooting requires repeated recoding and testing, which takes exponentially more time, totaling at least several months.

Fortunately, the code Penny dictated was not a real program.

But at the same time, it is not a standard computer assembly language and requires continuous adaptation of the code library.

During the reverse translation process, Gu Ji needs to analyze it bit by bit. A code of 8 to 12 bits takes 5 minutes to interpret and verify, and a 1kb code, which is 125 instructions, takes at least ten hours.

In the real world, using an automatic compiler, it only takes a few seconds to complete reverse analysis from binary to high-level language.

[Ultimate goal: Completely resolve the London smog crisis and keep the death toll below 1,100 by the end of it! ]

[Side quest goal: Uncover Penny's secret! ]

The moment Gu Ji adapted to the skills, new tasks were updated.

What he didn't expect was...

Last week, the death toll was still 1,400. After a rollback, the difficulty of the mission increased to the point where a full 300 people were killed!

This crisis affects the entire city of London!

With a population of nearly one million, the daily number of natural deaths is as high as about 25.

However, there is a slight error in the calculation formula of the current smog crisis model:

For example, if the medical care in a district hospital is paralyzed, the citizens in that district will be unable to receive timely treatment, and one or two hundred people will die within a few days. This is too fast.

"It seems that we need to be more serious later!"

Gu Ji decided that after dealing with matters at the base, he would move on to emergency response work at London City Hall as soon as possible.

But right now.

He still planned to decipher Penny's mysterious code first.

Although it was impossible for Gu Ji to remember thousands of numbers in several articles at once, the first few dozen digits were still easy for him thanks to his extremely high central nervous system attribute values.

So he took out a pen and paper from his pocket, began to write down the code, and tried to decipher it.

What he didn't expect was.

The first piece of code gave him a heavy blow.

It’s not that he can’t translate it.

But even if it was translated into human language, Gu Ji still found it difficult to put them together into a sentence. Words like "people", "ball", "non-stop" and so on made it impossible to understand what they specifically meant.

But he had personally verified it last week, and Penny was not making it up.

There will be absolutely no problem with the code.

Then there is only one possibility:

The code that suddenly emerged in Penny's mind was incomplete!

Under such conditions, in order to completely translate these into texts that humans can normally understand, not only computer knowledge is needed, but also cryptography and linguistics.

Through regular logic and bold association, these nonsensical words are reorganized into a sentence.

Think of this.

Gu Ji felt a headache coming on.

However, looking at the first two characters "人" (person) and "球" (ball) translated on the notebook.

Somehow, he subconsciously thought of the slogan of THEO organization:

May the glory of mankind last forever! (End of this chapter)
