Chapter 412: Network-centric warfare

After the team of men in black completely passed, Lin Rui silently leaped from the top of the aisle.
He considered it carefully, and immediately understood the goal of this team. They were walking in a hurry, and they should be heading for the generator room. This shows that the command center has guessed that the power outage just now was not accidental, but was deliberately sabotaged.
Lin Rui was startled secretly in his heart, this group of people responded so quickly. Waterman deserves to be a true strategist. His judgments and decisions are as precise and sharp as a scalpel, often cutting the lesion directly.
Now that he has found the problem, the road leading to the command center should also be closed. As a result of continuing to break through, he can only be trapped. Lin Rui frowned slightly, then quickly turned around and returned to the upper warehouse. He knew that the road from the generator room to the command center must have been tightly sealed and blocked by the opponent.
If you want to get close to the command center, you have to find another way. Although not reconciled, he also knows that forcibly breaking can only be self-defeating. With the help of timely communication, the opponent's instructions can be issued to each specific guard, and their reaction speed and action speed far exceed those of ordinary troops. If you want to fight against such an opponent, you must never expose yourself.
Looking at the darkness ahead, Lin Rui put on the monocular night vision goggles. He wanted to find a suitable entry point, a shortcut that could go directly to the command center without being discovered. After much deliberation, he still felt that it was more appropriate to enter from the ventilation pipe. Because it is an underground facility, exhaust ventilation is very important.
Generally, such vents will be opened very large enough to accommodate one person, and there is also a reason that a large number of cables in underground facilities are usually routed through these exhaust ducts. The hundreds of computers in the command center need thick enough cables, as well as a large number of optical cables and data cables to transmit information. Moreover, these ventilation pipes extend in all directions, theoretically they can reach anywhere in this underground facility. All this is the best way for him to find the command center.
Lin Rui found the vent in a hidden place, and gently unscrewed the vent shutter with an unlocking utility knife. After removing the shutters, he did not expect such a large underground facility. The ventilation ducts are really big, made entirely of metal, and in line with military standards, even a strong man like Johnson can withstand it inside.
Lin Rui let out a sigh of relief, he bent down and got in. After entering, I discovered that it can actually accommodate a person walking with a bent waist, without the need to move forward. The only drawback is his rubber boots, which are easy to make noise when walking in the pipe. Lin Rui took off his shoes without hesitation, took the shoes in his hands, and bent forward and touched them.
In the darkness, he didn't know how long he had been away. Relying on the dim light of the monocular night vision device, he walked through the ventilation ducts dense like spider webs. Suddenly a bright spot swept past the corner of his eye, and he immediately realized that it was just a red laser spot on a laser sight.
He rolled almost immediately, then took out his m9 pistol and pointed it forward. The laser-assisted sight on the pistol was also a thin red ray, pointing straight at the opponent. But neither side fired a gun, so they confronted each other. Until Lin Rui put down his gun, he cursed in a low voice, "Damn it, people are scary, they will be scary to death."
The person opposite was not someone else but Zhao Jianfei. He saw that Lin Rui was relieved and said, "How do I know it is you, when did you come in?"
"I've been here for almost two hours." Lin Rui whispered.
"That said, you destroyed the power of the base." Zhao Jianfei whispered, "I said that most of the camera monitoring fails, it turns out you are a ghost."
"If you get cheap, you still sell well. By the way, where's the actuary?" Lin Rui thought of Jiang An.
"I don't know, I should have sneaked in. Don't worry about him, this kid is crazy. Maybe we are still wandering around here, he has already touched the command center by now." Zhao Jianfei said helplessly. This damned ventilation duct runs in all directions, and I suspect that I have lost my way."
"Don't worry, the two of us have been searching separately just now, but we never met. This shows that the areas we searched do not overlap. This should be the only channel. You or me first?" Lin Rui said to Zhao Jianfei .
"You go first, I'm a bit inconvenient." Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"Are you injured?" Lin Rui said in surprise.
Zhao Jianfei shrugged and said, "I encountered an interception team and fought a hard fight. However, he didn't suffer much injury. It was just a trivial matter. He was injured by a rubber bullet and may have broken his ribs."
"That's right, in front of me, you can break the back." Lin Rui nodded and walked forward.
They circulated a few more times in the ventilation duct, and suddenly there was more obvious light in front of them. Lin Rui moved his heart and immediately waved back. Signaled Zhao Jianfei to stop. Then I slowly moved to the side and looked out through the blinds that let out light, only a very limited view could be seen.
It was very bright outside, and there seemed to be a lot of people walking back and forth. There are conversations of wireless communication and the sound of crackling keyboards everywhere.
Lin Rui lowered his head as much as possible and found that there was a large hall outside. The rotunda is a bit like a busy stock exchange. Everyone is calling and checking the computer. However, these people are not wearing red vests, but military uniforms, with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization badge on their arms.
Countless information from the outside world is gathered here and processed separately, reaching each specific combatant in the form of specific instructions. This is like a real brain center, the brain that processes information wars.
"Network-centric warfare, I should have thought of it long ago." Zhao Jianfei whispered, "It is impossible to use the so-called s system except for such a command center."
"Network-centric warfare?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, cyber-centric warfare is abbreviated as ncw. It is a new military guiding principle created by the U.S. Department of Defense to turn information superiority into war superiority. The method is to use extremely reliable network connections to separate information on the ground. Sufficient troops, so that new organizations and combat methods can be developed. This kind of network allows people to share more information, cooperation and situational awareness, so that in theory, the departments can be unified, command faster, and operate more effectively." Zhao Jianfei said in a low voice. , "The so-called s system is based on this kind of combat thinking."
"I understand. They obtain information through various scientific and technological means, and then analyze and summarize them here, and then send them to the various black-clothed teams. No wonder their actions are always so fast and efficient. All the actions of the black guards are equivalent to using them. One brain thinks." Lin Rui whispered.
