translator: loop
Sa’e’s knuckles lazily scraped over the red markings on the star map as he said, “Things are getting a little interesting now.”
Interesting how?
About the difficulty of impersonating Chu Si’s short code and the difficulty of replicating a signal source mark, Sa’e had a deeper understanding than Chu Si himself. After all, he had nothing to do in the Space Prison except for tinker with such things.
To be honest, the prisoners in the Space Prison were all masters in this field. After all, they were so bored that they almost treated playing with signals like eating three meals a day. And among these masters, if Sa’e was second best, then no one would be first.
It was much more difficult to break into someone else’s communication channel nowadays than in the early years of the planet. Over thousands of years of mutual competition, all loopholes had been blocked, and now almost nothing could be exploited.
For ordinary people, wanting to work in this field was really too difficult.
Even for those bored prisoners, the best among them could only achieve real-time monitoring.
Sa’e was the only one who could force his way into other people’s channels and have direct message conversations with them. But he was eccentric, and generally did not bother with breaking in, finding it boring. He basically only focused on one person to annoy—
That person, needless to say, was Chu Si.
This rogue broke into Chu Si’s private channel like he was playing a game. It took a little effort to access his office’s B-line channel, but in the end, he also succeeded.
However, the A-line channel in Chu Si’s office was at a level he couldn’t break.
This so-called A-line channel was 50001, which was specifically used to transmit high-level information and commands.
If ‘breaking into the channel 50001’ was as difficult as a stone for Sa’e, then ‘pretending to be the source of 50001 and the red signal’ was as difficult as the entire planet.
Because this was no longer simply a gap in technical skill, but a gap in equipment.
“This is not something that can be done by a single person.” Sa’e rapped the screen and said, “Normal civilian equipment simply can’t do it, the first layer won’t even be breached. Normal military equipment can also at best only break through the first layer, it would take nearly a year and a half. High-level, high-authority military equipment could break through three layers in about four years, but that’s all, because… there are a total of three hundred million, two thousand, and six hundred outer defense locks.”
Chu Si looked at him expressionlessly, “Prison escapee Mr. Yang, may I ask why you know this information so well?”
Sa’e tapped his finger on the screen for a while, and let out a faint “ah”.
He inclined his head and smiled at Chu Si: “Because I once tried to use your channel to unlock my controller.”
Chu Si: “…”
Ah your father.
This rogue talked about this matter without any shame, and the end of his sentence was subtly raised. He wore a frivolous smile, and it was impossible to know if he was teasing or not.
Chu Si snorted and turned his gaze back to the screen, coldly saying, “Mr. Yang, I’ll have to kindly remind you that the controller on your arm cannot be unlocked through my communication channel. You’d better not fiddle around with such thoughts in the future. If you blotch the wrong settings, you won’t even have a chance to cry.”

Sa’e: “Alright, I was wrong.”

He seemed to have listened to you, but he might’ve mocked “what an idiot” in his heart, and often he turned his head and refused to admit it at all, still going his own way.
This was a typical example of humbly admitting mistakes but refusing to correct them after repeated admonitions.
This problem always caused people to cough out blood, but they couldn’t spit it out at him, so they could only swallow it back and digest it a second time. Probably only Chu Si could keep a calm and cold expression after listening to him.
He directly ignored Sa’e’s perfunctory admission of fault, and his mind was thinking about the conditions of impersonation: civilians couldn’t, military high-authority also couldn’t, then there was really no—
No, there was a place!
“Do you know Fort Barney?” Chu Si asked subconsciously, but before Sa’e could open his mouth, he added with a shrug, “Then you must know that there is a super base station there, which used to be the only military-privileged base station, except that it was later closed indefinitely due to an accident.”
“En—” Sa’e responded lowly, indicating that he indeed did know.
Strictly speaking, Chu Si’s departmental information was also in the military system. When Fort Barney was closed, his generation was still young, but his understanding of it was far better than ordinary people’s.
“After Fort Barney was sealed, in order to avoid similar problems, all newly built super bases were divided into four, and their authorities were lowered by one level compared to Fort Barney, in order to facilitate mutual control and restraint among them,” Chu Si said and looked at Sa’e. “That is to say, Fort Barney is an existence that surpasses all existing super base stations.”
And it was far beyond them.
What the existing high-authority military equipment could hardly accomplish, could Fort Barney do?
When a public channel like 50001 was handed over to Chu Si, they would only describe how meticulous and solid the design of this channel was, and absolutely could not tell Chu Si what loopholes it had and how to exploit them. Perhaps even they themselves did not know.
Questions of this dangerous nature could only be asked to dangerous people.
Sa’e replied: “If there must be an answer, then there is probably nowhere more suitable.”
He paused, nodded again, and reaffirmed: “If Fort Barney is reactivated, it can indeed be done, and it might take much shorter than I imagined. Perhaps half a day would be enough, who knows?”
He said “who knows”, but his eyes narrowed, and he looked very interested.
This was probably a common issue for people who had problems with their heads. Everything normal was boring to them, so they would spend most, if not all, of their lives to find excitement. The more dangerous something was, the more excited they would become, and the more impossible something was, the more curious they would become.
Sa’e Yang was probably the best example of these sorts of people.
To be honest, it was not a good thing to attract the interest of Sa’e Yang.
Because no one could predict whether his interest laid in exploring or in destroying. Maybe today it was the former, and tomorrow it would become the latter, everything… depended on his mood.
Seeing his interested appearance, Chu Si felt a headache coming on. He tapped the edge of the tabletop heavily with his index finger. “Mr. Escaped Prisoner, please restrain your expression a little, no need to show so clearly that you want to make trouble. Don’t you remember that you still haven’t taken off your controller yet?”
Sa’e said idly: “Reporting, sir, it was the one who made the first move.”
Chu Si: “…you can get the hell out of here.”
He tapped the SkyEye system and said, “Little stutterer, search the star map and locate the channel 9500 or 9501.”
This was Chu Si’s guess at Fort Barney’s channel number. 9 represented the military branch, 5 represented the base station group, and according to convention, Fort Barney accounted for either 0 or 1. Even if the super base station itself was sealed, its channel could not be replaced at will, and maybe it was unblocked.
Ding—
“Instructions unknown, 9500 or or or or or or 9501, which one to locate, please reissue clear instructions.”
Chu Si: “…really choosing the best places to stutter.”
Ding—
“Or or or or or or is an emphasized word, not a stutter.”
Ding—
“SkyEye system provides you with smooth and intelligent service, please reissue clear instructions.”
Smooth my ass.
“Shameless.” Chu Si scoffed.
“Please reissue clear instructions, clear instructions, clear—”
This was probably the most verbose, annoying, and shameless intelligent system Chu Si had ever seen.
He said unkindly, “Locate 9500 first, then 9501.”
Ding—
“Scan started, there is more data, it will take about one minute, please be patient. Countdown: 59—”
Chu Si: “You plan to stutter all the way down from 59 this time?”
“Please do not send useless commands to interfere with the scan.”
Sa’e shook his head and gave a laugh.
Chu Si: “…”
The long-legged, elegant, handsome, and tasteful Execute Chu actually suffered a rare defeat, and the other party was a mentally challenged stutterer, and not a human.
Ding—
“The scan is complete and there are no complications. Scan result: 9500 is the wrong channel number, 9501— 1— 1— 1—”
“Let’s just take this unlucky thing apart,” Chu Si laughed coldly.
“1— The positioning result is shown on the star map. Warning: The target is too far away and located at the super-signal traceable boundary line. The target is approaching and is expected to arrive at star map area 1 in 4 hours.”
Chu Si listened to the scan results while staring at the star map.
On the large screen, the map was like a target, divided into different zones by concentric circles from the inside out. The zones 1-10 were marked. The center of the bull’s eye was 10, and the outermost circle was 1. The criterion for the division was the strength of the cosmic super-signal.
If the target was outside the outer boundary of zone 1, it wouldn’t even reach the cosmic super-signal.
Right now, the point representing 9501 was just on the edge line, and the positioning error possibility was extremely large. When it moved a little further inward, the positioning error could be reduced to an operable level.
Chu Si casually glanced at the time displayed in the corner of the screen and then tapped the shell of SkyEye’s brain again: “After 4 hours, find it again. Right now I have another very important command.”
Ding—
“A standard command phrase should be short and to the point, with all due respect, you-”
Chu Si: “I’m pulling the power.”
Ding—
“Please state your command.”
“Search this shithole for any more food.” Chu Si looked calm, but he was about to starve to death.
“Command received, search started, 3— 2— search completed.”
Sa’e: “Yo, not only did the system not jam this time, but it also ended the search early?”
Ding—
“Location as shown has what you need.”
The two men dropped their eyes to look— the place was nowhere else but the fuel compartment of the disc’s back piece, which contained only a dozen milligrams of antimatter fuel. The huge energy generated by such an explosion could send the Space Prison into the sky.
Sa’e sneered, “Little stutterer, how about feeding you a few grams first?”
Ding—
“I was wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong, the result has been corrected.”
The system 😭
