Chapter 71: Laser Sensor Technology
Chen Mo sat upright, his face filled with anticipation. The Lingjiao Group was a military-industrial group from the Island Nation; it certainly held many secrets. He wanted to see what exactly Ink Girl had brought back from the group.
“Open it up,” Chen Mo said.
“Okay.”
As soon as Ink Girl responded, a document popped up on the computer screen.
Beginning to browse the documents, Chen Mo grew cautious. Among the materials Ink Girl had retrieved were many classified ones, including formulas for two special types of materials.
Information about car and ship research didn’t interest Chen Mo much, but when he saw weapons research, his expression turned more serious.
He couldn’t get involved with arms—at least not now.
But these were just materials on conventional weapons and the design of one airborne cannon. Special weapons couldn’t be stored so easily in the company database; they must have had separate storage.
When Chen Mo saw the final document, his eyes narrowed, and his face darkened instantly.
This document contained topography, environmental data, weather patterns, and hydrological surveys—all of China. It even listed the locations of several bases and important research institutes, along with profiles of numerous developers and agents working for the Lingjiao Group. The content shocked him deeply.
Seeing this material, Chen Mo began thinking about how to handle it. It wasn’t ordinary data. He couldn’t be sure if there were backups at the Lingjiao Group.
Sent agents between nations? It was a known understanding—an unspoken tactic. Whether they’re caught depends solely on how effective a country’s intelligence agencies are. Some time ago, they publicly apprehended quite a few spies—but how many more remained unearthed? No one knew.
“Ink Girl, send this document anonymously to the Security Bureau. Add a note saying it came from the Lingjiao Group. Make sure it’s untraceable. Any slip-up could cause us serious trouble,” Chen Mo instructed.
This matter wasn’t something he should manage. But since he now knew about it, he decided to help as a “red hacker”—keeping his identity unknown. This was his homeland; he felt a sense of responsibility toward it.
As for how the authorities would handle these records? That wasn’t for him to interfere with.
“Brother Mo, it’s successfully sent. No trace left.”
“Encrypt this document at the highest security level. No one else must see it.” After ordering Ink Girl to deal with the records, Chen Mo settled back onto the couch and returned to reading.
…
Security Bureau Field Office.
“Chief, we just received critically sensitive intelligence. You need to see this immediately,” Li Jizheng hurried into the director’s office without knocking, his expression grim.
“That urgent?”
“Extremely urgent.”
Preparing to manage other affairs, Zhu Ming instantly put down his files. He trusted his subordinates—under normal circumstances, Li Jizheng would never rush in abruptly like this. Something serious must have occurred.
“This is the information.”
As soon as they reached the work area, Li Jizheng ordered the technician at the computer to open the email. Everyone around them quieted down, eyes focused solely on Zhu Ming.
Zhu Ming’s expression grew increasingly severe as he reviewed the document. By the end, his brows were knitted tightly.
“Who sent it?” Zhu Ming asked.
“Unknown,” stated the technician seated in front of the monitor. “The sender used a fake IP address—no traces detected.”
“Can we verify the authenticity of these materials?” Zhu Ming turned toward Li Jizheng.
“Likely. For instance, among the listed Island Nation names, we were already monitoring two. Just minutes ago we confirmed that half an hour ago, the Lingjiao Group headquarters experienced a significant hack attack. Much of the system remains paralyzed.”
“Download the document copies for me. I need to escalate this.” Zhu Ming paused, then asked, “Can we find the sender of the data?”
“Probably not,” replied the technician. “They left absolutely no clues behind—it reeked of experienced hacker moves.”
“Compose a team. Captain Li Jizheng will lead surveillance operations for these Island Nation individuals noted above. Protect researchers on the specified list—I will assign other teams to guard them.”
…
The news about the Lingjiao Group breach swiftly became an international headline—and went viral globally.
Its virality wasn’t because of massive impact—but rather because the attack seemed extremely bizarre.
Every single computer across the whole Lingjiao Group played a looped adult film! Even after rebooting the hardware or disconnecting power supplies—any system activation restarted the identical footage replaying endlessly.
Though the Lingjiao Group brought in top-tier experts from across the Island Nation, none could solve it. An unknown virus had already infected hard drives throughout their system. Starting any powered computer immediately activated the virus—locking the system while playing video clips incessantly.
Fixing this required formatting each computer’s internal hard drives entirely and reinstalling systems clean.
Nobody identified the attacker behind the group—the mastermind never claimed responsibility openly. But the actual damages or stolen data involved? Outside observers remained completely oblivious.
Shares of all Lingjiao Group subsidiaries—and even its partner firms—plummeted dramatically following their massive intrusion scandal.
Without knowing what materials hackers actually accessed, businesses worried profoundly about potential future leaks revealing highly-sensitive data.
This incident prompted waves of companies to reassess overall cybersecurity measures.
It was no small matter. Before this, Morgan Group itself suffered an attack; personal data of millions leaked entirely outside—inflicting devastating impacts upon countless organizations enduring such breaches.
…
After handling issues concerning the Lingjiao Group, Chen Mo’s life returned to tranquility once more.
Three full days passed before Chen Mo finally closed the book before him—exhaling deeply in relief.
Throughout this quiet period, he had done nothing other than read heavily. Today marked the achievement of finishing his six hundredth book—rewarding him with another choice ticket to leverage at the Science and Technology Library.
Rubbing his tired temples gently, Chen Mo settled further onto his couch as he mentally entered the Science and Technology Library.
“Which piece of technology should you pursue this time?” Elder Shu appeared immediately and asked bluntly.
“Where are Sensor Technology entries? I’ll seek them personally,” Chen Mo countered plainly.
He didn’t opt for software tools—Ink Girl would manage programming that side easily. Currently he needed hardware research skills most severely.
Developing future projects required immense hardware resources overall.
His present aim focused squarely on Laser Sensor Technology. Chen Mo already requested Zhao Min acquire a functional automobile manufacturing factory—precisely to serve upcoming tests on driverless vehicles.
Regarding self-driving automobiles specifically—the software technology seemed highly mature already. Baidu, Umbrella Company, alongside Tesla—all featured highly sophisticated autonomous control software engines.
Holding back widespread adoption was insufficient hardware support.
Currently market-stocked laser sensors remained too bulky. Excessively expensive too. Plus fundamental technologies were still immature—thus severely limiting autonomous vehicle deployment potential.
Laser sensors served vast functional roles. Future robotics R&D similarly required laser sensing elements too. So crafting these laser sensors now guaranteed immense benefits impacting numerous other products later on.
Elder Shu nodded. “Sensor technology fills catalog pages 1606 to 1789 entirely. They are classified under Novice level permissions.”
“Fine.”
Sifting through the deep crimson book, Chen Mo began scanning sensor entries.
Ultrasonic sensors… sound-sensitive sensors… large sonic sensors… countless sensor varieties left him dazzled momentarily. However, through categorical sorting Chen Mozong located target technologies rapidly:
《Tenglong Laser Sensor Technology》
Field Tags: Physics, Electronics.
Access Authorization: Novice Level.
Product Specifications: Maximum scan range: 1000 meters. Accuracy: 5 mm. High speed response. Immunity level: Resist lighting/electromagnetic interference strongly. Small Dimensions: 10cm diameter. Low production costs.
Size parameters? Cost efficiency? Performance indices? Every requirement perfectly matched what Chen Mo sought!
“This—this technology precisely,” Chen Mo tapped the page decisively.
“As you wish.”
Solemn-faced, Elder Shu extended his palm wide—materializing a book from pure air—then pushed it directly into Chen Mo’s mind-space.
