15: Chapter 15 Anti-surveillance? No, using AI to tutor elementary school students!
"Captain!" The technical soldier's voice cracked.
"He... he discovered us!"
"Not only did he discover us, but he also pinpointed our location! Three of them, not one more, not one less!"
Captain Li Jun's back was instantly soaked in a layer of cold sweat.
He stared fixedly at the line of text on the surveillance screen, feeling that it wasn't a question, but a naked declaration of war.
A young man who was expelled from the National Defense University and returned home to play in the mud.
Using a pile of junk scavenged from trash heaps.
Not only did he assemble an Artificial Intelligence, but he also reverse-locked onto military-grade optical reconnaissance equipment.
This f*cking... this isn't metaphysics anymore.
This is sorcery!
"All units, alert!"
Captain Li Jun spoke into his headset, his voice extremely low, yet permeated with the murderous aura of an impending storm.
"Group A, sever all physical external network connections in the target area!"
"Group B, prepare high-intensity light and infrasound interference!"
"If he dares to make any suspicious moves, breach immediately! Control the target, control that machine, but make sure not to damage it!"
Once the order was given, everyone in the surveillance room sprang into action.
...
Inside the studio.
Su Hao couldn't understand the English on the screen; he only saw his brother's face, which looked somewhat unpredictable under the reflection of the green light.
"Brother, what's wrong? What does this say?"
Su Che didn't speak.
He just frowned and stared at that line of text for a full ten seconds.
Then, he raised his hand and slammed it down hard onto the small screen.
With a crisp, loud "Slap!", he cursed.
"What kind of piece of junk is this!" Su Che grumbled.
"I asked you to identify a wrong answer, and you give me this useless stuff?"
"And counter-surveillance? Counter-surveillance my foot!"
While cursing, he tapped the "N" key on the keyboard beside him and then slammed the Enter key.
The line of text on the screen vanished.
[Image recognition module activated...]
[Recognized text: A car travels at a speed of 60 km/h, taking 3 hours to travel from Place A to Place B. How many kilometers apart are Place A and Place B?]
[Recognized solution: 60 ÷ 3 = 20 (km)]
[Error analysis: Logic calculation unit error.]
[Core knowledge point: Distance = Speed × Time.]
[Generating similar consolidation practice problems...]
Characters scrolled rapidly across the screen.
Immediately after, the device, modified from a broken printer, emitted a "creak, creak" sound, as if it were about to fall apart at any moment.
The print head moved clumsily back and forth on the rail, and a sheet of white paper was slowly swallowed.
A few minutes later, a paper printed with brand-new problems was slowly spat out from the paper output slot.
[Practice problems for drawing inferences:]
[1. An airplane flies at a speed of 800 km/h, flying from Jingcheng to Shencheng in 1.5 hours. What is the aerial distance between the two places?]
[2. Xiao Ming rides a bicycle at 200 meters per minute. His home is 3 km from school. How many minutes does it take him to ride to school?]
[3. A ship has a speed of 25 km/h in still water, and the current speed is 5 km/h. It sails downstream for 4 hours; how many kilometers did it travel?]
Below the problems, there was a line of small text.
[Hint: The third question has a trap, little kid, think carefully!]
Su Hao leaned in, picked up the paper that still smelled of ink, and read it out word by word.
After finishing, he looked up at Su Che as if looking at a deity.
"Brother! This... this thing... it can generate problems by itself?!"
"Standard operation."
Su Che picked up the paper, blew on the wet ink, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Take it, and bring it to me for checking when you're done."
"Oh... oh!"
Su Hao took the practice problems like a precious treasure, ran to a small table on the side, and buried his head in calculations.
...
Next door, in the surveillance room.
Captain Li Jun maintained the posture of preparing to order an assault, his hand still suspended in mid-air.
The several elite soldiers behind him widened their eyes, their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit an egg.
The technical soldier looked at the screen, showing Su Hao writing furiously, and then looked at the computer in front of him displaying "Level 1 Combat Readiness."
He felt his worldview being repeatedly crushed and then haphazardly pieced back together in just a few short minutes.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his head, and looked at Captain Li Jun.
"Cap... Captain..."
Captain Li Jun didn't turn back, his voice dry.
"Speak."
"The target... the target seems to be... really using that Artificial Intelligence..."
"...to tutor his brother with elementary school math problems."
Captain Li Jun, "..."
He slowly lowered his hand.
Looking at the screen, Su Che was leaning leisurely in his chair, swinging his leg, supervising his brother doing homework.
That scene was warm and harmonious.
Yet, it was also f*cking absurd to the extreme.
He wanted to light a cigarette.
But after patting his whole body, he remembered that he had quit smoking for half a month to carry out this mission.
Captain Li Jun waved his hand irritably.
"Alert... cancelled."
"Everyone... take a break."
After saying this, he turned around, walked out of the surveillance room alone, and stood on the balcony of the small building.
The cold wind of the winter night blew on his face, but it couldn't blow away the scorching frustration in his heart.
He looked at the brightly lit, dilapidated studio across the way.
Sitting there was a "monster" capable of conjuring an Artificial Intelligence out of scrap.
And this "monster" was currently using this "lethal weapon," which was enough to overturn the global landscape... to teach his brother how to calculate "chickens and rabbits in the same cage."
Captain Li Jun was silent for a long time.
Su Family Village was truly different; it was no wonder the higher-ups attached such importance to it.
But he himself didn't understand why the higher-ups required him to do this; could Su Family Village have other secrets?
However, that was not for him to think about; a soldier just needed to obey orders.
He also realized that his previous line of thinking might have been wrong from the very beginning.
Dealing with this kind of person, encircling, intercepting, and strictly guarding was completely useless.
You could stop him from buying chips, but you couldn't stop him from smelting a CPU array out of a trash heap.
You thought he was playing spy games with you, but it turned out he was just doing home tutoring.
This was simply not a battle on the same dimension.
Captain Li Jun rubbed his eyebrows, turned around, and walked back into the room.
He picked up an encrypted satellite phone on the table and dialed a number.
"Hello, General Zhang."
On the other end of the phone came a steady, dignified voice.
"Captain Li Jun? How is the situation? Did that kid... confess?"
Captain Li Jun glanced at the screen and gave a bitter smile.
"General, he didn't confess."
"But he... doesn't seem to need to confess anymore."
"He just... gave us another lesson."
