After hearing Director Sun Hong's words, Qin Tairan felt a little silent. Qin Tairan believed that the things Sun Hong said were real. If the American drone was easy to track, it had been in and out of us for so many years, and I would have long known how many times it would have been killed. It seems that what Duke wants is really difficult to do.

"Chief Sun, so, the military really has no good idea about this?" Qin Tairan asked unwillingly.

"At present, there is no way. Now the US has learned a lesson after the ep-3 incident. Most of the time, it is snooping outside the 12-nm territorial waters. Only in extreme cases will they take risks and penetrate into the airspace above our territorial waters. Our main radar range has been touched by them, so they will avoid areas with strong air defense radars and enter from gaps that cannot be covered by radar. This way, it will be difficult for us to find out."

Director Sun Hong said. "It's a pity that this matter is indeed beyond the reach of the military. Neither the Navy nor the Air Force have any good ways to deal with them."

"I wonder if the military has recorded a communication signal confirming that it is a Global Hawk or Predator?" After confirming this fact, Qin Tairan asked finally. This matter seems to be like this. Faced with an impossible task, it is useless to force the military. It depends on whether he can get some useful information for Duke, otherwise Qin Tairan would be shameless to see Duke without any help.

"There are very few fragments, most of which were obtained through our intelligence personnel at the risk of their lives in hot spots such as Pakistan and Afghanistan. However, it was only a dozen minutes long. The military has been studying for a long time but has not made any progress, because there is too little information available, and it is too difficult to decrypt it. If the new encryption algorithms adopted by the US military are brute-force, there is basically no hope of breaking them.

Because experts have studied the basic principles of this encryption algorithm, it theoretically concluded that even if it is used to use the most powerful supercomputer at present, it will take up to thousands of years to calculate it. This basically proves that under the current conditions, reverse brute force cracking is not realistic and operational."

"There is no method for other military personnel, which does not mean that Duke has no method," Qin Tairan was shocked when he heard that there were indeed some clips. He said, "Sun, the experts have not developed any of the ep-3 electronic reconnaissance aircraft software system we got for more than ten years, but after Duke's hands, he had a look in a few days. According to Duke, some of them may be able to crack in one or two months. For Duke, we cannot use common sense to deduce it."

"What, Duke has the hope of cracking the ep-3 software system? This is a great thing," Sun Hong said in surprise. Obviously, he also knows what the ep-3 software system cracking means. Back then, this was something that could be obtained at a cost of blood. The physical structure and material parts have been analyzed by experts, so the design of similar products has been made very fast.

However, the electronic system has not been cracked well. After the ep-3 self-destruction program destroyed many critical things, it was difficult to build an environment to run the remaining things, let alone crack it. Qin Tairan's news is very shocking for Sun Hong.

"It is indeed a great thing, so Duke's content in researching this aspect is genius that ordinary people cannot reach. For me personally, it is understandable to pay a certain price if he can obtain the communication signal records required by Duke." Qin Tairan said.

Director Sun Hong was silent. He needed time to digest what Qin Tairan said just now. He knew that Duke was a master in artificial intelligence and speech recognition. Later, he led the research and development of large systems such as operating systems and theater joint combat systems, which proved that Duke was indeed very accomplished in computers and could be regarded as a top expert in knowledge in multiple fields. He should have long thought that he might have strong strength in software cracking.

Qin Tairan is right. If there is appropriate information, Duke may be able to crack many things, not only drone communication, but also some of the US military's wireless communications can be cracked. If this is the case, the value of this thing is unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Sun Hong felt a little excited, "Brother Qin, we have recorded a lot of US military communication signal records. Every time they come to our doorstep for any exercise, we have strict surveillance and a lot of related communication signal records, but not many of them can be cracked. Let me go back to you to see if Duke can crack some of them. This thing is also very important. Maybe some of them are information about contacting their drones."

Qin Tairan's eyes lit up when he heard Sun Hong say this. Yes, we can't keep an eye on the thing in the sky, but the goal of swimming in the sea is too big and we can't keep it away. Moreover, the Americans are doing so many exercises at our doorstep, which is simply aimed at us to show off our power and have no intention of avoiding us. Every time we send surveillance aircraft or ships we send, we can keep an eye on from a distance, and I think we have recorded a lot of things.

It’s just that our level is not enough, and our experts were unable to find very valuable information from these recorded things before. Maybe Duke can crack something after getting these things.

Thinking of this, Qin Tairan said decisively, "Okay, it's okay to have these things. Let's do it. I'll send someone here to get a copy and send it to Duke."

A few days later, when Duke took dozens of hours of satellite surveillance records, direct video surveillance records and corresponding various signal surveillance records, he was a little amused and laughed. Qin Tairan was too capable and actually got the military's extremely confidential things so quickly. Of course, Duke had never thought that this was Qin Tairan that he could not meet his requirements, so he took out another bunch of things to make up the numbers. If he knew this inside story, Duke might not have thought so.

Fortunately, Duke does not need to cooperate with others in this analysis. Even if there are results, Duke will give the results directly. So Duke will copy all the things into Kerry's space without hesitation and leave them to Kerry for analysis. He now has a basic principle knowledge base for US military communications. In the worst case, Kerry can also use these principled things to crack violently.

However, brute force cracking is the most difficult method. With Kerry's super-high intelligence, he should not directly choose this method. Instead, he may first find some combination of rules, combine the scene at that time to guess and decipher, and then verify it through some method, just like manually guessing and identifying the lip movement to decipher the content of his speech.

If it is a computer today, of course, there is no intelligence level of self-choice to better decipher methods, but Kerry, which is deeply rooted in Duke's body, can do it.
