Chapter 562 The Programmer’s World of Flaws

Meng Fei controlled himself and walked in the direction of the flywheel. The rotating flywheel stirred space and time, blowing violent winds, causing his hair and clothes to fly like flags.

It is impossible to solve the problem from the hardware perspective. Not to mention that he does not have the tools to dismantle the main control computer's motherboard. Even if he does, who would dare to dismantle the main control computer while the plane is flying?

So only software means are left. The automatic update system is part of the main control cycle. Every time the main control system performs a major cycle, it will poll whether the hardware has been automatically updated.

How about modifying that part of the query code so that it does not query the hardware, but directly returns "none" every time?

But where is that code? There is no manual for this thing.

Meng Fei stared at the rotating giant wheel with his eyes. He remembered that when he was a child, he lay in bed and tried hard to see the feeling of the rotating ceiling fan blades.

Of course, it's impossible to see clearly.

"One step!"

At his command, more negative entropy burst out from the void ether. In an instant, the temperature of the world dropped to absolute zero, and every atom stopped moving.

His "single step" can only stop the world he is currently in, which is the world of the program in the main control computer of the Soul-76 helicopter, not the reality.

Therefore, the main control computer shut down due to "single step", which did not happen in reality. Even when the main control computer was stuck, it was useless for Zhang Li to control the aircraft with the joystick.

Meng Fei climbed onto the huge flywheel that was frozen. Although he was a little afraid of heights, there was nothing he could do about it.

Only when you get close can you see clearly that this huge flywheel is not just a bare wheel.

In the eyes of programmers, it is just a pile of confusing code, the legendary "Shit Mountain".

In the eyes of some people, it will be embodied in a clearer concrete form, such as complex combinations of countless machines and circuits, or even biological tissues.

It's as precise as a clock, but a million times more complex. But it's also as chaotic as a garbage dump. Precision and chaos are two conflicting words that fit together perfectly.

The gears are connected to the gears, and the shafts are connected to the shafts. The piles of jumpers on the circuit board are like spider webs that have not been cleaned for decades, and the stray cables are like the baleen in the mouth of a baleen whale.

Parts pile up on parts, and organs grow within organs. There are so many things that you don’t know whether they are parts that have fallen out of nowhere, or tumors growing in organs.

But on this spinning giant wheel, they work together in an amazing combination with amazing coincidences, controlling the plane to hover in the sky with precision.

If you need to remove a screw from it, replace a line, or just change a switch that has detailed instructions on how to change it, the entire "shitty mountain" may collapse in an instant.

This is the ultimate creation of human wisdom, a labyrinth of systems, a treasure trove of accumulated negative entropy in the universe, a flawed world created by countless programmers who lost their hair and lost their health.

If the giant wheel is still spinning and the main cycle is still running, it will be a spinning state, and it is impossible for the Creator to recognize what this lump is.

But Meng Fei has the ability to "single step", coupled with his two lifetimes of experience in debugging bugs, and the surging computing power that bug.exe brings to him.

He found what he was looking for in the chaos. It looked like this:

//First query the hardware to determine whether an update is required.

bool need_update = QueryUpdateInterface();

//If an update is required, start the update.

if(updated)

{

//Start updating.

StartUpdate();

}

For Meng Fei, the modification is simple. The question is, will the entire system collapse after the modification?

If you will die in a plane crash regardless of whether you change it or not, then why not try changing it and maybe survive the desperate situation? After he modified it, the code became like this:

//First query the hardware to determine whether an update is required.

bool need_update = QueryUpdateInterface();

//Never enter the update.

if(0)

{

//Start updating.

StartUpdate();

}

At this time, Fan Bu in the plane felt that he was suddenly suspended in the air, and his heart went to his throat. And Zhang Li began to curse.

Although the control stick did not work before, the plane was at least still cruising according to the rules. But after Meng Fei "single-stepped" it, the plane no longer even cruised and became a free fall.

Fortunately, Meng Fei's "single step" only lasted for a moment. After a moment, the plane started automatic cruising again.

The plane stabilized again, and Boss Fan burst into tears. Now that he has money, status, and special abilities, he vowed to live and die with the country, and he would not even think about dying!

The backdoor of the automatic update was closed. Meng Fei stood firmly on the surface of the wildly rotating flywheel, like an acrobat in a circus.

The world rotated in a weird way, and the center of the rotation was not here. It was as if the universe had turned into a giant hula hoop.

The combination of spinning and giant phobia reminded him of the feeling of having a high fever when he was a child, lying in bed and watching a planet spinning above his head in his mind.

But he pretended to be calm, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and stood in the strong wind at the "highest" point on the surface of the rotating flywheel.

"Come out, boss. I already knew it was you."

He did not immediately repair the virus that infected the system and forced automatic cruise because he knew it was not that simple.

Fortunately, he has killed the automatic update system. Then he only needs to concentrate on dealing with the virus. But the virus actually hides its own strength.

Compared with Meng Fei's difficult emergence, the virus's emergence was simply a matter of course.

A lot of black smoke and dust instantly appeared in the strong wind. The smoke and dust were like the creation of an oil painting. I started drafting, coloring, and deepening the shadows very quickly.

Luo An, a bald man wearing a brown suit, his former boss and teacher, stood clearly in front of Meng Fei.

It is delicate and real, with colors and ambient light. It is obviously an image rendered in real time using ray tracing technology.

Compared to Meng Fei's rough style that only comes in black and white, it's a lot more refined.

"Oh? How did you know it was me?"

His expression didn't look surprised, but he showed a rare look of interest.

"Other than you, who else could use the time when the national computer was being upgraded to modify so much data?"

This was confirmed by his opponent when Qingqing told him that all the information about Tu Qian had been deleted.

What was the other party's purpose in deleting this information? It was probably to conceal the suspicion of smearing money, so that he could serve as a tour guide and smoothly implement his plan to take them up the mountain.

Although the security system of the national aerospace computer did have loopholes during that time, who else could exploit it so easily except Luo An?
