Chapter 7 Part Six: Manage the largest computer in Asia

Now I also understand why this base is so tightly guarded. It turns out that it is a nuclear transcontinental missile base! The flashlight moved again, and there was nothing in the entire warehouse except those two large missiles! That is to say, I have no hiding place! Time passed quickly, and the slogan of standing at attention was heard loudly, which meant that senior officers were present, and it was naturally the commander of the base who came. I had no choice, I hurried forward, climbed onto the support, and then climbed up the cold metal body along the obliquely placed missiles. I climbed all the way to the top of the missile, because I found that there was a canvas cover on the top.I cut with a pocketknife the cord that fastened the canvas sheath, and slipped into the sheath.

I finally found a place to hide, I hid under the canvas cover, and in order to keep my body from sliding down, I had to cling to the protrusion on the tip of the missile. What I hold may be a nuclear warhead! I hugged a nuclear warhead!It's unbelievable, but now I'm relying on it to avoid detection. After waiting for less than five minutes, I heard the sound of the iron door being pushed open. When I looked down, I could see the lights, and I could hear many people walking in together. I was about fifty feet off the ground and covered with a canvas cover, and I knew I could get through if I wasn't so stupid as to yell.

I reckon at least a line of people came in and searched. Because there were not many places to search in the warehouse, so within five minutes, they retreated, the door closed again, and it was pitch black again. The feeling of hugging the nuclear warhead was not very pleasant after all, so I waited for a while, and there was no special movement, so I slowly slid down along the body of the missile. I'm thinking about when is the right time for me to go out.What happens after you walk out of the warehouse? All of the current situation is beyond my estimation. If I had prepared earlier, then I could bring some food and water, and live in the warehouse for a day or two before we can talk about it.

But of course I can't do this now, I'm going to go out before dawn, and then try to find Yile. I went to the door and listened outside. All kinds of sounds outside gradually quieted down, and the team might have already closed.But I also know that even if the team is closed and the vigilance is strengthened, it is inevitable. I was very frustrated, because I never expected that there would be loopholes when I pretended to be Lieutenant Colonel Tan on the phone. My loophole is to ask anyone in the seventh department to come to see me, but their work must not leave their posts. What kind of job did they hold in a Vietnam nuclear missile base that made them so tense?I really can't figure it out right now, and I'm not prepared to think about it much.

After I heard that the outside was almost completely silent, I used the flashlight to shine on the lock. When the light of the flashlight hit the lock, I was stunned as if I had been struck by lightning! I know that kind of lock, that kind of lock is inside, unless the whole lock is blown up, it will never be opened! That is to say, I can't open the lock, there is absolutely no way, there is naturally a small amount of explosives by my side, and I can also explode the lock, but after an explosion, can I still escape? I smiled wryly, and couldn't help myself, and sat down on the ground.

I can't get out, of course, I can't really get out, but I have to be a prisoner.I sat on the ground for a long time, but still couldn't think of any proper solution. I considered that the possibility of me escaping after the explosion was almost zero, and the greatest possibility was that I died under random gunshots! The only possibility for me to get out alive is to knock on the iron gate, and when they hear it, they will open the gate and capture me alive! Of course I don't like that, but I can't choose any other! I sat on the ground, holding my head, and couldn't stop smiling wryly. If I had a mirror at this time, I would definitely be able to see a desperate fool in the mirror.

After an unknown period of time, I put my ear on the iron door and listened carefully outside. I heard endless footsteps, which were of course the guards. Those footsteps ended my hope of breaking the door and escaping. I was spinning around under the giant missiles. I had overcome many There should be a solution to the difficulty! After thinking about it for nearly half an hour, I came up with a solution: try to remove the lock! If you remove the lock, you can open the iron door, and you can wait for the opportunity to secretly open the iron door and slip out.I was full of hope, and went back to the iron gate, but when the flashlight shone on the lock, my hope was shattered again.

The lock was welded to the door, and if I had the proper tools I could of course get it off, but I don't have any! And, even if I had the tools, I couldn't help but make a noise, and if I did, it was like knocking on the door myself and begging them to let me out. In the next few hours, I imagined dozens of ways to leave the warehouse, but none of them worked. I irradiated every corner of the warehouse with a flashlight, hoping that there would be a place for me to escape. However, until the dry batteries in the flashlight were exhausted, there was still no way out. After I was trapped in the warehouse for eight hours, I was exhausted, exhausted, thirsty and hungry, and I couldn't hold on any longer; my mind was too heavy to think about.

I staggered to the iron gate, ready to surrender. I slammed on the iron gate, and before I could make a sound, I heard a commotion outside the iron gate. There must have been many people running towards the iron gate, because the footsteps were so chaotic and the voices were noisy. After a while, someone asked loudly: Who is it? I replied: I am the one you are looking for but cannot find. Immediately there was an answer outside: Put your hands on your head, don't move, wait for the base commander to order to open the door, when the door opens, if you don't put your hands on your head, then we will shoot immediately!

I wanted to tell the people outside that the door could be opened with a simple lily key without calling the base commander, and that's how I walked into the warehouse. However, I held back and didn't say anything. I just said: "Okay, but please inform Lieutenant Colonel Tan and tell him that Wesley, who is related to the international police, is here and ask him to come see me." There was a murmur outside, and I couldn't hear what they were talking about, but they were obviously surprised that a man who had sneaked into the military base would be connected to the international police.

But they still agreed to my request: OK, we invite Lieutenant Colonel Tan to come. I took a few steps back and waited. After waiting for about half an hour, I heard the sound of a speeding car, and then there was a sound on the iron gate. I remembered the warning given to me by the guards, and quickly put my hands on top of my head! The following time can be said to be the most embarrassing moment in my life! And the reason why I was in such a predicament was because of my wife’s cousin’s pen pal. If I tell people about this kind of thing, they may not believe it, but when I think about it, it’s ridiculous! As soon as the iron door was opened, several searchlights shone on me, and at the same time, I estimated that at least ten submachine guns were aimed at me! Under such a strong light, I could hardly see anything. In an instant, I felt like I was standing naked in front of many well-dressed people! I wanted to go forward, but I just took a step, and at least ten people shouted at the same time: Don't move! I had no choice but to stand still again, and then I heard Lieutenant Colonel Tan's voice: Mr. Wei, it really is you! And another very solemn voice said: Lieutenant Colonel, who is this? Lieutenant Colonel Tan said: It is difficult for me to explain, but General, he is a person trusted by the international police. He has a special certificate with the signature of our country's police chief. The Ministry of National Defense has also specially notified us to help him. The general was very angry: including letting him sneak into the secret base?Hmph, that's ridiculous! Lieutenant Colonel Tan defended me very much, and hurriedly said: I think he must have a reason, General, leave it to me to deal with it! I could totally hear their conversations, but I couldn't see them at all. The general seemed to be thinking about it, and after a few minutes, he said: "Okay, but Lieutenant Colonel Tan, you must understand that this base must never be disclosed to the public, and this outsider already knows too many secrets about this base. Handle it well. Lieutenant Colonel Tan hurriedly said: I know, General, please believe me. Well, the general replied: Leave it to you! Then, there were the sounds of footsteps and cars, and then, the voice of Lieutenant Colonel Tan: Turn off the lights. My eyes suddenly went dark, and when my eyesight gradually recovered, I could see that it was only dusk, and there were still more than a dozen guns pointing at me in front of me, and Lieutenant Colonel Tan was standing beside me. Not far in front of me, looking at me. I smiled wryly: Lieutenant Colonel, we meet again! Lieutenant Colonel Tan nodded and said: Yes, we met again, but I didn't expect it to be in such a situation!Why did you sneak into the base.You know, even if you have such a special status, it's hard to excuse you! I sighed: Can I drink some water, sit down and rest for a while?I'll show you something and you'll know why! Lieutenant Colonel Tan looked at me for a while, and then said with a helpless air: "Okay, get in my car." I got into a jeep with him, and five minutes later, I was already in his office. I sat on the sofa and drank a glass of milk before taking out the advertisement draft and showing it to him. Lieutenant Colonel Tan finished reading the manuscript in less than a few seconds. He had a look of extreme doubt on his face. He raised his head and looked at me without saying a word. I hurriedly said: Lieutenant Colonel, now you know why I came here?Yile is in the military base, he belongs to the seventh department.Lieutenant Colonel, can you explain why he cannot move freely? The look on Lieutenant Colonel Tan's face was still very weird. After hearing what I said, he shook his head again and again, saying: "Impossible, Mr. Wei, that's impossible." What do you mean by that? There are a total of twenty-four officers in the seventh division, who are on duty day and night Yi Le must be one of those twenty-four officers! Lieutenant Colonel Tan smiled wryly and said: So, I said that is impossible. The twenty-four officers in the seventh division are all female. I jumped up off the couch and sat down again. All officers in Section VII are all women! I smiled wryly, I really didn't know what to say. I had made many estimates about Yi Le, I estimated that he was a disabled person, I estimated that he was a liar, but now it seems that there should be more estimates , that is: Yi Le may be a perverted homosexual! I couldn't help but laugh, looking at Lieutenant Colonel Tan, I couldn't say a word. Lieutenant Colonel Tan frowned and raised the advertisement manuscript in his hand: Judging from the advertisement manuscript, it seems that things are not that simple. Usually, if the base wants to publish advertisements, it is submitted by various departments and sent out by the secretariat. There is no doubt , the advertisement must have been written by one of the twenty-four officers of the VII Section. I hurriedly said: That person is Yi Le. Lieutenant Colonel Tan agreed with me: Or, let's investigate together, Mr. Wei, do you know that the seventh department in the base is in charge of something? I shook my head and said: I don't know. That is the Computer Computing Department. Lieutenant Colonel Tan said: This department is in charge of the largest computer in Asia. I didn't say anything, and Lieutenant Colonel Tan said again: This computer is not only the soul of the base, but also the soul of our country's national defense, and even the soul of the Allied forces' defense in Asia. It is connected to a huge radar system, and the enemy comes from the air. The attack, even if it is thousands of miles away, it can be discovered immediately and displayed on the screen. I said: Therefore, the staff of Section 7 must strictly guard their posts during working hours and are not allowed to leave. Lieutenant Colonel Tan smiled: Of course, because if the enemy launches an attack on us, they will never notify us in advance, right? He paused, and then said: Because this kind of work requires extreme care to be competent, so our staff in the seventh department are all women. I took a breath: Lieutenant Colonel, from what you said, I think things are more complicated than I imagined. You have also seen the original manuscript of the advertisement. I hope you can investigate its source. Lieutenant Colonel Tan said: Okay, the investigation will start tomorrow morning, but there is one thing, I am very sorry, you must stay in the base tonight, and someone will guard you. I lay down on the sofa, very tired, I said: No problem, please go ahead. Lieutenant Colonel Tan walked out. Although I was preoccupied, I couldn't beat the tiredness after all, so I fell asleep. Overnight, I don't know how many weird dreams I had. First I dreamed that Yi Le was a disabled person in a wheelchair, then I dreamed that he was a greasy love liar, and then I dreamed that he was a weirdo from nowhere. When I dreamed that Yile was also a woman and a homosexual, I woke up and the sun had already shone through the window.I sat up, and not long after, I heard footsteps and salutes, and Lieutenant Colonel Tan pushed the door open and walked in. Lieutenant Colonel Tan looked very solemn. He glanced at me and sat down opposite me. I hurriedly asked him: Have you done the investigation? Lieutenant Colonel Tan did not answer immediately, but lit a cigarette, took a few deep breaths, and said: Yes, we have investigated. Who sent that ad. No one admitted that a military officer who specializes in documents and translation of computer texts said that she translated them from the computer tapes and mixed them with other computer instruction documents. She just regarded them as orders from her superiors and followed them After the translation was completed, it was sent to the secretarial department. As soon as the advertisement draft arrived in the secretarial department, it was naturally sent to the newspaper office. I was stunned: I don't understand, what is a computer text tape? Lieutenant Colonel Tan glanced at me: One of the most important components of our computer is to transmit the answer through a half-inch wide paper tape, which is full of small holes. From the point of view of people, it has no meaning at all, but from the point of view of experts, it is just words. I nodded my head to express my understanding, and said again: "Then, even though this advertisement was translated from a computer tape, someone must have controlled the computer to make it transmit such text." Of course, Lieutenant Colonel Tan agreed with me. Then, he and I said in unison: That's very simple, the person who uses the computer to make the computer send out such words must be Yi Le! Lieutenant Colonel Tan jumped up: Our investigation scope has been narrowed down a lot. All the text tapes sent out by the computer are recorded. According to the records, we can know when it was sent out. The six people present at the time were naturally the largest. Suspect. I nodded and said: Then you should start an investigation immediately. Lieutenant Colonel Tan hurriedly opened the door and walked out. I waited in his office for about 30 minutes, and only an officer came in: Mr. Wei, Lieutenant Colonel Tan invites you to go. I hurriedly said: Where is he? He is in the seventh division.The officer replied. Lieutenant Colonel Tan was in the seventh department, and he invited me to go again. It must be his investigation, and the results have already been obtained. This made me very excited, and I hurried out.The officer took me into a jeep, and the car stopped in front of a very magnificent building. Then, after passing three inspections and passing through a steel door about 100 feet thick, I saw the computer! That pair of computers occupies almost 3,000 square feet of space. It is extremely large, with small lights of various colors, various clicking sounds, many fluorescent screens shining with various lights, and six groups of various buttons. The unique console makes people feel like they are in another world when they walk in. (Note in 1986: 20 years ago, computer components were very large, and small electronic computers had just appeared, and the progress of computers was extremely fast. Now, with such a large computer, the functions should be even more astonishing!) At this time, in front of each group of consoles, there was a female officer who was concentrating on her work. The officer opened a door, I went through that door, and I saw Lieutenant Colonel Tan. It was a small lounge, and when the door was closed, all outside sounds were cut off. In the room, besides Lieutenant Colonel Tan, there were six female officers. The six female officers were about twenty-five years old. Their faces were pale and they showed panic. It seemed that all six of them had committed crimes. Ordinarily, among the six of them, one was a pseudonym of Yi Le, who communicated with Rainbow, and the other five should be innocent, but why did they all look so panicked? As soon as I entered, Lieutenant Colonel Tan said: Please sit down!Please sit down! Lieutenant Colonel Tan's complexion was also very ugly. After I sat down, Lieutenant Colonel Tan rubbed his hands: Mr. Wei, on behalf of our country's army, I apologize to you, because such a ridiculous thing happened in our army! I thought to myself, the absurd thing he called was naturally referring to the female officer's pseudonym and Rainbow correspondence, and I felt the same way.I didn't know which one of the six of them did it, so I gave them a look: yes, that's really absurd. Lieutenant Colonel Tan said again: Mr. Wei, you must not believe Before he finished speaking, I already said: Colonel, please tell me which lady is Yile first, I want to tell her how sad her silly behavior makes a girl. Lieutenant Colonel Tan smiled wryly: Mr. Wei, there is no Yi Le. I froze for a moment, and in an instant, I was full of the feeling of being teased. I must have been angry, because my cheeks were hot, and my voice was much louder: What do you mean? Without Yi Le, the lieutenant colonel repeated: There is no such person as Yi Le in the world, Mr. Wei. I stared at him, I didn't know how to start to question him, it's too unreasonable for him to be so innocent!
