digital storm

Chapter 333 Vigilance
It is precisely because he is very familiar with the digital world that Lin Wenfang can understand what such an algorithm means.This is not an unpopular algorithm, but a derivative of something called a predictive algorithm.Predictive algorithms were initially used in the analysis and construction of network systems, and later evolved into an algorithm system that quantifies people's behavior and analyzes people's behavior through data mining and analysis.The tools that are most commonly used today are businesses of all kinds, who provide applied mathematicians with vast sums of money and the data they have amassed to analyze user behavior in order to develop targeted sales.In the field of scientific research, this algorithm is also being used to build models in many fields, especially in genetic science and molecular biology, where prediction algorithms can be used in a variety of ways to help scientists crack the core structural issues.

Lin Wenfang is no stranger to this algorithm.He applied this algorithm extensively in various data analysis clients to connect the scattered information, hoping to discover the connection among them, so as to dig out the shadow Hefner organization.Although the efficiency is a bit low, it is basically looking for a needle in a haystack, but judging from the scattered fragments found, his idea is correct, and the algorithm is also very accurate and reliable.At the same time, this algorithm is also one of the core algorithms for Lin Wenfang to construct all artificial intelligence including Huoyu.

Huoyu has its core set of algorithms, and this set of core algorithms now includes an explanation of self-awareness.Surrounding this core is an entire experience base and common sense base.Then, around the experience base and common sense base, there are two sets of extremely complex algorithms: one set is to interpret information, including processing video and sound signals into data packets that Huoyu can understand; It is a layer-by-layer prediction algorithm.The predictive algorithm can infer the possibility through vague and incomplete conditions. This is the core function that developers expect, and it also reflects the value of intelligence. Of course, the biggest difference between different artificial intelligences is the core algorithm, but the real long-term It is the nesting of these predictive algorithms that shapes artificial intelligence in its use and makes it increasingly powerful.The reason why Huoyu is powerful is precisely because the core algorithm and the surrounding auxiliary algorithms complement each other to form a virtuous circle that can continuously improve itself.After leaving Zhizhi Company, Lin Wenfang modified and strengthened Huoyu several times. In addition to adding her auxiliary function modules, she also used her brains on the surrounding prediction algorithms.

Only predictive algorithms can solve various problems encountered in the development and manufacture of molecular alloys and powder alloys.At its root, it is to treat each different metal molecule as an independent individual, estimate its performance in various states, judge its degree of freedom, which is the so-called entropy value, and then divide it by external methods. entropy.This application of algorithms integrated into the process is much more advanced than the application of the institution that developed the molecular alloy in the first place.The organization that researched and developed molecular alloys just took advantage of the federation's ability to provide metal elements of sufficient purity, but this organization realized this process under the conditions of interference from many impurities.

Knowing that Zhou Yongda was not very sensitive to such technical matters, Lin Wenfang could only scratch his head and explain it in as simple a way as possible.Zhou Yongda asked in awe: "You mean, this unknown company has researchers at the absolute master level?"

Lin Wenfang raised his eyebrows, not knowing how to answer this question.Be it molecular alloys or powder alloys, after all, there are gems from the federal research institute who have given basic ideas and ideas, and even have a rough formula.From this perspective, the other party may just be good at solving this kind of problem.However, Lin Wenfang's imagination was a little fussed about how to assign and calculate various conditions in the other party's technological process, how to overcome uncontrollable factors, and so on.The other party has at least one level of applied mathematician, as for other, he dare not say.

"I don't know how to define Dana. In the end, it's just the application of existing theories. You need to see the other party's core algorithm formula, or source code, to judge the other party's level." Lin Wen Fang seemed a little conservative.

"Don't be modest, if it can make you interested, what else can it be?" Zhou Yongda finally said after thinking about his upcoming itinerary and all the resources he could use in Dresden : "There should be 36 hours between now and our departure. There is still time to arrange an operation. However, the movement of this infiltration operation is a bit big, and we can't use much manpower and material resources in the future. It is probably a small-scale infiltration. Hope It would be nice if the factory’s defenses weren’t so outrageous.”

Lin Wenfang thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's that far-fetched. Being able to obtain these documents shows that the other party just treats this information as a general commercial secret, and will pass it through this kind of transit and backup server." The other party should not fully know the original source of this powder metal."

Zhou Yongda smiled disapprovingly and said, "I hope so."

Zhou Yongda quickly drove Lin Wenfang to a safe house.Here they have to change clothes and disguise again, make new documents and then change cars to go to the factory.Fortunately, the Engelke Metal Products Company was not too far from the safe house, but it took more than 100 kilometers to drive, even if the ground traffic situation is not good, it can be reached in more than an hour.Suspecting that the other party might be the overseas branch of the Moya intelligence department or the military industry department, Lin Wenfang and Zhou Yongda did not take it lightly. Although they looked to be wearing loose and casual clothes, they both wore carbon fiber combat suits inside. There is no shortage of daggers or anything.

Before departure, Lin Wenfang also sent a copy of relevant information.The intelligence agencies of the Federation were also very concerned about the technical information that leaked back then, but like Lin Wenfang, there was another person who became interested in the algorithm and the person who developed it: Bao Hairong.

Compared with Lin Wenfang, Bao Hairong has a much broader vision in terms of technology and algorithms.Partly because he is the creator of the software technology pedigree of Fosun Group, and partly because he tried again and again in the sophistication of software development but felt that he was farther and farther away from Lin Wenfang's level, and had to turn to universality In the field of algorithm technology, I hope to find inspiration for my own breakthrough and development from the achievements of others.

Now that Lin Wenfang is in Dresden, and the network system here is very chaotic, Huo Yu puts the largest computing resources on protecting the safety of Lin Wenfang's surroundings, maintaining the cordon, and freeing up some resources to complete The connection with the computer room of the Ledson Building is somewhat powerless for further information retrieval.At this time, although Bao Hairong didn't know what to do, he was very happy that he could help.What Lin Wenfang sent to Bao Hairong was only a very brief explanation of the situation, but Bao Hairong quickly searched for a considerable amount of information.Speaking of it, although it is not a large enterprise, this Engelke Metal Products Company is quite well-known in the industry.

Different from Lin Wenfang's initial expectation, Engelke Metal Products Company is not a company shrouded in fog and has many doubts, but a well-known family business.The Engelke family is a well-known old-fashioned metal products company in Dresden. The company's business volume has not been large, but because it has unique skills in its hands and attaches great importance to technological upgrading, the situation is quite good.Almost all the key positions in the entire company are people from the family. Although there are always some internal entanglements, the strong centripetal force is unique among all industrial enterprises in Dresden.The most interesting thing about this family is that all the boys born in odd-numbered years study science, all the girls born in even-numbered years study engineering, and all the girls study marketing, business management or software engineering, etc... This is not absolutely absolute, and there are occasional exceptions However, it has been 126 years since the family started metal processing, and none of their children studied the humanities. This kind of thing is very rare even in a place like Dresden.

However, how did such a seemingly flawless family business obtain the powdered metal formula and put it into production?This is really a headache.

The road was a bit congested, and Lin Wenfang and Zhou Yong arrived at Daengerke Metal Products Company later than expected, but they received information from Bao Hairong on the way, which made them change their action plan.If the Engelke Metalworks Company hadn't been so well concealed that it had been an offshoot of Moya's intelligence agency for decades, there were other articles in it.

Probably because of this consideration, Lin Wenfang and Zhou Yongda split up.Zhou Yongda sneaked into the factory to investigate according to the original plan, while Lin Wenfang pretended to be a businessman and came to discuss a cooperation matter.

Engelke's factory area and office area are together. A small two-story office building is facing the gate of the factory area, bypassing the office building, and behind it are two large-scale combined factory buildings.At the rear is a warehouse for various materials and a door for large freight trucks to enter and exit.This kind of factory structure is also a very popular layout for small and medium-sized production enterprises in Dresden. The scale may increase or decrease, but the general structure is exactly the same, and even the frame structure of the factory buildings is the same.Dresden has done a much better job than the Federation in terms of intensive construction and cost reduction.

Although it was already off-duty time, the office building was brightly lit, and it was obvious that there was no sign of off-duty.Zhou Yongda should have entered the factory from the outer wall at this time. According to the previous contact, the factory did not appear to be heavily guarded. There were only groups of infrared dynamic detectors on the outer wall, which were also standard equipment for factory security.There are no densely packed cameras, no clear and dark posts, not even security guards constantly patrolling the factory area. The security guards at the side gates are only equipped with batons and click guns, that is, there is a single-shot shotgun in the duty room. This kind of security equipment is completely negligible to Zhou Yongda, and his infiltration activities went very smoothly.

But at the front desk of the office building, Lin Wen faced the serious-looking little girl at the front desk, and didn't know how to explain that he came to contact the business without an appointment in advance, which was very unconventional.

"The general manager is not here, neither is the vice president... Let me see, the business manager just left for 15 minutes, and there is an event in the evening... Well, there is no one who can contact you about business matters. However, people from other departments They are all here, but I can introduce you to the situation of the company, and you can decide whether to make another appointment."

"Of course. Can I visit your factory?" Lin Wenfang asked in disbelief.He didn't expect the other party to be so enthusiastic. Could it be some kind of conspiracy?

He cautiously followed behind a middle-aged woman called by the little girl at the front desk, and walked into the factory building from the passage behind the office area.A variety of advanced industrial machinery is neatly placed in the factory building, and the LED lights above the head are just right, bright enough but not dazzling.Looking at the working conditions in the factory, it should be at a load of 30.00% to [-]%. The workers are very relaxed and talking loudly while working.Lin Wenfang glanced at the finished product on the side. It looked like some kind of metal mesh frame. The processing quality was very high. Even some corners that were difficult to handle were completely free of metal burrs. It wasn't dealt with by remedial measures afterwards, but the link between links was extremely fine.

The middle-aged woman nodded slightly when she saw Lin Wenfang, and asked, "Sir, you are really good at metal processing, are you also a technician in this field?"

Lin Wenfang nodded and said, "I specialize in program control and algorithm optimization, but there are still many experts among my colleagues."

"Oh... that's it. Is it the work that you can't finish that is going to be outsourced? I believe that in terms of processing quality, we can definitely meet any of your requirements." The middle-aged woman said very conceitedly.

Lin Wenfang did not object to her words.Tianyao Manufacturing is also a group of technical madmen, who are extremely picky about the details. Under the influence of those people, Lin Wenfang has a lot of understanding of the processing process, plus the experience of sneaking into Moya in the 9903 Research Institute before. , he can indeed be said to be an expert in program control of processing machinery.However, Engelke uses the method of automatic and manual, which achieves higher precision than pure mechanical automatic processing.

"It is true that there are some troublesome tasks. Our business volume was just enough to handle it, but for some reason, hehe, the company has received some outsourcing orders from the military, and the profits are relatively high, and there are other benefits , Naturally, we need to find someone to take over the original work. I have heard that Engelke can carry out a full range of OEM from raw materials to finished products. This situation is most suitable for us now. If we can reach an agreement and hand it over to you , don’t worry about it at all. What requirements can your material processing meet?” Lin Wenfang asked tentatively.

"Excuse me, what kind of business did you guys originally do?" The middle-aged woman seemed to have some vigilance when she heard Lin Wenfang mention the military OEM.If the military is looking for outsourcing companies, they won't just pick one out.

Lin Wenfang said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are not an arms company. We are engaged in industrial machinery. However, the most profitable products these years are emergency equipment and outdoor equipment, such as large scissors, first aid knives, ice picks, pitons, Lifters and other things. They are mainly supplied to public security, firefighting and emergency rescue forces, and only a small part enters the market, so they probably have little reputation.”

"These things are easy to say, but the craftsmanship is not low." The middle-aged woman nodded and said understandingly: "The material line should not be ambiguous at all. Especially for those first-aid equipment, the requirements for materials are even more outrageous , Two-thirds of the cost is in the material, and the processing is simple, nothing more than simple milling and surface treatment, the accuracy is not a problem. What kind of material did you use?"

"Military tungsten steel, or alloy materials above the ST11291 standard, rare earth alloys are becoming more and more expensive, but tungsten steel has begun to be used more and more in recent years. It is used to make armor-piercing bullets. The material is still good, but the wear rate It is still on the high side. However, under the current domestic situation, it is troublesome to obtain good materials, and there is no need to worry about OEM products. I am afraid that for these outsourced products, we must consider the supply capacity of materials." Lin Wenfang showed great embarrassment The appearance did not arouse the suspicion of the middle-aged woman at all.He hesitated for a moment, and added: "However, even if it is commissioned processing, considering the changes in your materials and production processes, I am afraid that the product will still be re-shaped and numbered, and the price will be adjusted. Anyway, it is not making money. Keeping our company like this Sustained supply capacity in the field is enough, and the battle is always over."

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Don't worry about the materials. We don't know exactly what indicators the Federation's military tungsten steel materials can achieve, but we should get materials that exceed all indicators. Of course, There are some problems that need to be resolved... Let me introduce myself again. My full name is Jelica Engelke. I am the person in charge of the general affairs department of the company and one of the vice presidents of the company. I'm here to discuss business. Our company now has an authorized metal processing technology that can produce and process a very special alloy material. However... due to various reasons, our production capacity can only meet the authorized party's minimum requirements, unable to expand production.”

Lin Wenfang immediately understood that he touched on a little powder alloy problem.He remained calm and asked jokingly: "What kind of inexplicable company would do this kind of thing? The material that can fully exceed the standard tungsten steel used by the federal military is very valuable. Will someone transfer this processing technology?"

"Who knows." Jelica curled her lips, looking nonchalant.Those processed metal products were all sent to the United Kingdom of Tingaktu. That group of chiefs would definitely not have this kind of technology, and everyone knew who was behind the other party.Federal enterprises come to Dresden's company to manufacture OEM products, even for military products, they are confident and outspoken.After all, they are allies with a very close relationship, and their interests in many fields are tied together.Then it can only be Moya who has good technical research and development capabilities, but is a little behind in craftsmanship.It was inconvenient for Jelica to tell Lin Wenfang, but people in the company had already speculated on the functions of those metal parts.A group of technicians in the company generally understand that it is nothing more than the joint parts of the mecha and the stepping device. According to the quantity purchased by the other party, the [-] sets of various parts that have been delivered will definitely exceed Moya's mecha production. capable.If there is a new order, it is natural to do it next, so there is no need to worry about it.Moya did not give them the patent specification of this material formula, and he kept it secret, which was even more suspicious.In order to produce powder alloys reasonably and legally, they could only apply for patents for three new formula alloy materials in Dresden... Legally speaking, the ownership of this powder alloy material technology is indeed owned by Engelke.

In the headset, Lin Wenfang heard Zhou Yongda's brief narration.Zhou Yongda has already connected to the computer in the corner of the top floor of the office building and checked some information.Engelke did not take this powder alloy too seriously. This technology was basically picked up for them. Although they are still researching further molecular alloys, they have no intention of expanding production. .The key point is that even the powder alloy process, for the current Engelke Company, is barely able to complete it, and it can enter the bottom line of industrial production.Whether it is technology accumulation or equipment, they cannot afford further expansion.Sometimes family businesses are indeed weaker in terms of capital and aggressiveness.

However, knowing the clue of Tingaktu from this company is already worth the fare for Lin Wenfang and Zhou Yongda.The [-] sets of joint parts will indeed not attract the attention of any customs department, let alone the federal intelligence personnel.With the two sides not making much noise, it is difficult for the federal intelligence agencies to dig out news of the enemy's use of such resources with the strength of the federal intelligence agencies in remote areas such as Dresden and Tingaktu.This can be regarded as a windfall of this trip to Dresden.

What Lin Wenfang mentioned about the outsourcing demand for outdoor equipment and first aid equipment is not fake. When he left Engelke, he had brought a small sample of powder alloy material with him, and he had already made a first agreement with Engelke. Batch is not a big order.This can be regarded as the beginning of a normal transaction between the two parties.

The investigation to this point was already the limit of this visit to Dresden. After Zhou Yongda and Lin Wenfang left, they split up to follow up the clues on Tingaktu.Zhou Yongda and his subordinates are very familiar with this kind of work, and Lin Wenfang reversely calculates the current development of Moya's mecha by analyzing the drawings of joint parts hacked from Engelke Company.However, a few days later, a piece of news that they did not expect reached their hands: the joint parts never reached Tingaktu.Although the arriving ship looks the same as the departing ship, with the same documents, and even the same crew, the intelligence personnel recorded the words of an old seaman on the pier: Definitely not a boat.

This news made Lin Wenfang, Zhou Yongda and even the entire Fosun Group vigilant.
