Monster Factory - Chapter 706: Miracle system.
Wu Cheng traffic command center was officially opened in 2014. The new traffic center not only integrated the previous nine decentralized command sub-centers but also took the lead in adopting an intelligent traffic command center system with intelligent management and intelligent service concepts.
At eleven o’clock at night, the traffic command center was brightly lit as always. Due to its importance in traffic, it was busy 24 hours a day and the number of people present was not less than one-third of the number of people when it is in its full state, these people controlled the traffic situation around the city relying on the surveillance probes located at various intersections and below the huge main surveillance screen was a circle of offices with computers.
In the past, night work was very quiet. Because even busy areas of the city will gradually become deserted, and these people didn’t need to be in a rush to be responsible for managing traffic like during morning or evening rush hours.
But today was different, the public security bureau of Wu Cheng received a police report from a citizen in the afternoon, saying his daughter had been missing for four days and asked the public security bureau to investigate surveillance near the intersection of their home to track down his daughter. The police hadn’t originally planned to deal with the case so quickly, because according to the parent’s description, his daughter was more like a runaway from home. For an adult, it is all too common to run away from home in an embarrassing situation, unless there is more conclusive evidence that prompts the police to start investigating the missing person.
As a result, the relative contacted several acquaintances in the police, and the police had to start investigating. In addition, before their investigation was completed, they had learned that the police in the city of Shanghai, hundreds of kilometers away, were cooperating in handling the case because the famous Huge Industrial Monster also reported the case to the Shanghai police and asked them to find the whereabouts of the girl named Yun Shi!
The main objective of the Shanghai police was related to the attention of the huge industrial monster which is none other than the Wu Cheng police immediately stopped at the traffic control center, to investigate a large number of surveillance videos.
The results were obvious; tracking the survey results made them feel like their IQ is on hold. Needless to say, the Huge Industrial Monster’s black technology to unlock iPhone cell phones in seconds got them hooked once again. Of course, this kind of hanging and beating was very cool for them, as long as they try harder this time, they can be considered familiar faces of Huge Industrial Monster.
……
In the future, if you meet a case where you need to unlock a phone, a high-speed train ticket to Shanghai will solve the problem!
……
The police officers in charge of that case, at the time, sat in the traffic control center, continuing to scroll through surveillance tapes that were doomed to be frivolous.
The news that Huge Industrial Monster had successfully unlocked all the iPhones involved in other cases got them so excited they wanted to give it a thumb up. But before they could be caught on camera, they rushed to Shanghai police and broke the news that was going to make their legs go soft.
~ The Huge Industrial Monster will use the clothes of the two suspects as clues to investigate driving photos taken by all the traffic cameras in town.
“My God, Xiao Zhang, we won’t overhaul our entire Wu Cheng public security system just because they unlocked Apple phones?” Officer Lu in charge of the case believed he had just been shot in the temple with a deafening Lei Mingdeng shotgun.
“Don’t tell me you don’t know the number of traffic light cameras in Wu Cheng and the number of license plates passing through these intersections per day.”
“Xiao Zhang, please tell me, how can we check millions of hours of videos for two days before and after the crime? How should we find this woman and man?”
Officer Lu’s voice was very loud when he spoke in this quiet room in the command center, and when the other policemen heard millions of hours of videos, everyone “slammed” and watched him with horror.
“Not us. It’s the Huge Industrial Monster. They say they have the technology and can verify the videos. I don’t know their exact principle. Either way, it’s very, very high technology.”
Officer Lu felt the gun that had just fired at his temple had missed him and would not hit him again for the rest of his life. After stilling his breath several times, he was afraid to say: “It’s impossible to have this technology.”
……
Half an hour later, the director in charge of the central command and a deputy director of service arrived.
“Lu…Officer Lu, does the Huge Industrial Monster really has this kind of technology?”
Manager Lu Guang Ming was uncomfortable and sat in the manager’s office under the huge monitoring screen: “Although our traffic control center is known as intelligent management and service intelligent, it is used by personnel to coordinate and direct traffic, not to mention automatically find the driver, even if the automatic license plate is unregistered in the city center, those of the cameras with automatic license plate recognition can recognize their personalities and bring up their photos.”
“I can’t guarantee it, and it sounds too weird. But unlocking the iPhone pass code in seconds is just as weird. Director Lu, you must know that the FBI in the United States is engaged in a lawsuit with Apple for over a month about this.”
“If it’s true, tomorrow I’ll go to the Huge Industrial Monster on business. I will personally ensure I have this system!” Looking at the ready gesture made by the staff next to him, manager Lu Guang Ming said firmly.
……
The prep work was so simple any beginner in policing could do it with a little imagination.
……
Like the police system, the traffic control center had two sets of networks, one internal and the other external, and the internal and external networks are isolated. Therefore, they directly backed up the data storage servers that stored surveillance images for the two days before and after the incident, then disconnected the intranet from the extranet and opened the remote control port.
Huge Industrial Monster could remotely control the data server through a Gigabit network. At the same time, in order to be more intuitive and let the command center staff understands the working principle of this system; director Lu Guang Ming also ordered that the huge screen of the command center be connected to the database server.
Now, on the huge screen, the server OS interface appeared, the remote control port was opened, and the Huge Industrial Monster could enter at any time.
As they nervously waited for the Huge Industrial Monster to connect, the monitor screen suddenly went blank.
“Come on,” a staff member shouted: “I heard Huge Industrial Monster’s chief network engineer was online. Keep your eyes peeled and learn more techniques.”
Director Lu Guang Ming was also very excited. The next moment, the dos command window appeared on the big screen and before everyone could react, the dazzling lines of code flowed down like a waterfall. It was almost impossible to see clearly, and when they were about to react, the command window was closed, and the huge display screen also became extremely sci-fi at this time and a virtual character composed only of data appeared in front of them.
“Hello everyone, I’m Huge Industrial Monster’s N° 01 Industrial Network Engineer.”
“Ah~ hello engineer, how do you filter the photos?” shouted the command center technician into the headset.
“I’m reading the images, and I’ll get back to you later,” CGI sound came from the speaker next to the monitor, and a remote file transfer window popped up on the screen. The progress bar was a little slow. After about half an hour, when the progress bar reached 100 %, the image changed again. The avatar made of this data suddenly split into two, then split into four, four into eight, eighth into sixteen, and the cycle continued indefinitely. In the end, 4,096 small virtual characters appeared on the big screen. Fortunately, the command center screen was 120 square meters, which barely accommodated these virtual villains.
“What are these little guys coming doing?”
Everyone in the command center was puzzled. When a photo of a man and a woman driving in masks and hats appeared on the screen, their doubts turned into complete shock.
A question mark appeared over the heads of the 4,096 villains, and then they appeared to sit together in the virtual car. Then, surveillance photos that couldn’t be made out with the naked eye began to scroll like a film inside the car window. These photos were the scenery inside the car window, both strange and shocking.
“Ding-dong~ding-dong~ding-dong~”
Every few seconds, on the screen divided into 4096 small screens, there was always a small man behind the wheel, and he blinked green. As a result, a photo was enlarged and selected. Ten minutes later, the virtual villain gradually disintegrated and reassembled into one.
“The principle is very simple. These little people drive cars, and I moved my hands and feet to turn the scenery inside the car window into countless photos. Every little person is a driver of independent remote driving simulation. Of course, these simulated drivers still have a lot of driving skills to learn, but there is still no problem in identifying them based on the photos at present.”
“…”
The eyes of all leaders and employees in the command center were gradually congested and widened.
“A total of 4,096 photos were selected, of which 711 were of people driving Lavida model cars.” Engineer N° 01 waved his hand, and hundreds of neatly arranged photos immediately appeared on the big screen.
Something even more horrible happened. Each photo depicted a black Lavida car heading towards a traffic-light intersection and through the front glass everyone could clearly see the driver and co-driver in the photo are both male and female. They wore the same masks and hats. No matter their body type or their clothes, they are exactly the same as the man and the woman in the original photo.
Hundreds of photos, the staff looked at them and saw a dozen license plates with different numbers…
“Your surveillance photos all contain their own information about the location of the monitored intersection. I have organized these surveillance locations into driving routes according to the electronic map.”
After engineer N° 01 finished speaking, an electronic map of Wu Cheng appeared on the big screen and then depicted the black Lavida black car icon, and showed the car left the main road and took a tortuous course on the map.
“…”
“…”
Director Lu Guang Ming’s eyes unknowingly left tears of uncontrollable excitement as if he was in heaven! The remote drive system was nothing short of miraculous, that’s the legend of the Huge Industrial Monster. If they had this system and they wanted to apply it to the traffic control center, how many drivers were they going to catch who wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, talking on the phone, or smoking while driving?
No need to hire someone to randomly choose photos, one program for all cities counts for all, who can run away from this program? How many fines could their traffic services increase to generate additional revenue for police officers?!
