Chapter 328 Jarvis: You ambushed one of my young AIs! Old Braden has no sportsmanship!
While everyone else was methodically making preparations for the upcoming intrusion, Sitwell himself walked straight to the futuristic, curved desk.
Without the slightest hesitation, he took out a black USB drive without any markings from deep inside his suit pocket.
This was the "legacy" that Alexander Pierce personally handed over to Dr. Zola before his death. It contained a data framework that Dr. Zola had created by replicating his own consciousness before his passing.
Simply put, it's Dr. Zola's "consciousness clone".
Although it is clearly inferior to groundbreaking new products like Jarvis in terms of computing performance.
Furthermore, as a derivative of consciousness, this consciousness clone, which perfectly inherits Dr. Zola's original personality, also carries the risk of betraying its user, just like the original.
But when it comes to bypassing firewalls and obtaining core data without anyone noticing, it's an absolutely invincible tool!
Therefore, after taking out the USB drive, Sitwell only glanced at it briefly before avoiding the few cool devices Tony used daily on the table and fixing his sharp eyes on a relatively low-key black laptop.
This is Tony's backup machine for handling relatively routine but high-security transactions that require physical isolation from the network (such as drafts of some government contracts). While isolated from the external network, it is connected to Stark Industries' core database.
That is precisely why it is undoubtedly the most perfect entry point at present.
The laptop emitted a very faint buzz the moment Sitwell inserted the USB drive into the port.
The next second, the laptop screen, which was originally off, suddenly lit up.
But that wasn't the startup screen; instead, countless lines of dark green code were scrolling down like a waterfall, so fast that the human eye couldn't even catch them!
At that very moment, although this malicious data stream was bypassing all conventional external warning mechanisms and directly penetrating the physically protected internal network at an astonishing speed, not a single alarm was triggered throughout the entire process.
However, Jarvis's core perception matrix, like a calm lake surface tossed with a boulder, quickly detected the intrusion of this abnormal data stream.
This is a new feature that Tony added to Jarvis, based on Peter's "Spider-Sense".
Although it was still in the experimental stage and had many shortcomings that needed to be supplemented and improved before it could truly reach the level of "Spider-Sense," Tony temporarily put it aside after adding it and began to busy himself with the preparations for the global press conference.
Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, Jarvis stumbled upon the "spider-sense" function of this unfinished product, allowing him to detect Hydra's true intentions before their conspiracy succeeded and completely breached Stark Industries' firewall!
[WARNING: Unauthorized access attempt detected. Source: CEO's office backup terminal (Physical Connection ID: STK-SEC-07B). Protocol type: Abnormal, unidentified. Feature match: 0%. Threat level assessment in progress...]
Jarvis's emotionless yet highly logical voice echoed within its own logical loop.
Even though his own situation was precarious, Jarvis, as the "child" to whom Stark had poured the most effort, showed no panic. At this moment, he only displayed the most efficient response.
[Initiating deep protocol analysis.]
Activate the dynamic firewall Delta sequence.
[Attempt to isolate the infected area.]
The dark green data waterfall was still refreshing frantically, but upon closer inspection, one could see that in the very finest areas at the edge of the screen, a faint, almost imperceptible, pale golden halo was beginning to flicker.
That was a defensive barrier built by Jarvis, constantly being generated and reinforced, attempting to contain this savage invading force within a limited physical environment.
However, Zola's consciousness clone also revealed its terrifying side the moment it sensed Jarvis's counterattack.
Unlike ordinary viruses that rampage, it is like a viscous shadow with life, which immediately differentiates and infiltrates when it encounters obstacles.
The green code stream instantly split into tens of thousands of tiny threads.
Each one seemed to possess independent thinking, working together simultaneously to search for even the slightest logical contradiction within the firewall rules. They were even willing to use themselves as bait, creating a delay of only a fraction of a second.
It doesn't rely on brute force, but rather on the "experience" and "cunning" accumulated by Hydra through years of scheming and plotting.
【警报:防火墙Delta-3至Delta-7区段出现多线程协同攻击。模式识别:类神经网络学习性入侵。尝试模仿授权信号……模仿成功率17%…39%…68%…】
Jarvis's response speed skyrocketed. The entire underlying data flow of Stark Tower was altered, with countless redundant computing resources instantly allocated to the core defenses. Pale gold defense code was generated, suppressed, and patched at an unprecedented pace. A fierce, silent battle was waged against the dark green intrusion on every binary position.
[Sending a high-priority alert to Sir... Error: External communication channel is under unknown interference, network connection is interrupted, physical isolation policy is being exploited. Attempting to activate internal emergency protocol...]
[Startup successful. Running backup plan. Type C antivirus software will be activated shortly.]
The hacking code seemed to have anticipated Jarvis's every move.
Like maggots clinging to a bone, they not only constantly erode Jarvis's defensive positions, but also continuously learn and adapt to Jarvis's defensive patterns.
They even began experimenting with disguising portions of the data stream, infiltrating Jarvis's defense matrix to influence his judgment. They aimed to lure Jarvis's defensive "forces" foolishly into their own encirclement, then swarm in and obliterate them!
Then, watching Jarvis's defensive line crumble, a flash of dark green light coalesced into Dr. Zola's two-dimensional face. A slight smirk played on his lips, as if silently mocking, "So-called top-tier artificial intelligence is nothing more than this."
Even more critically, during this prolonged battle, the data stream, showing no signs of weakening, has begun to accelerate, gradually eroding the pale gold defensive circle.
Until Jarvis was completely routed, all the data streams gathered together and charged towards the precious line connecting the core database!
Sitwell stood by the table, where he could see the green code on the screen seemingly gaining the upper hand, rolling wildly and even occasionally twisting into some incomprehensible, bizarre, face-like symbols.
He couldn't hear the roar and battles of the data world, nor could he understand these dazzling program calculations.
But judging from the ever-expanding green data stream on the computer screen, Sitwell could tell that in the end, Hydra's "Dr. Zola" had the upper hand in this contest!
