360 Impossibility into Possibility (1/2)
Cedrick's identity was at most a source of entertainment at work, so naturally, Ye Shuang did not place her focus there. Han Chu spent most of the day away, and he only returned to the apartment around midnight. After a quick rest, the next morning, he called Ye Shuang and Anthony over to his place.
”Sit, the things Tony wants will arrive around noon, so you should go fetch them when you have time. Also, make sure Tony doesn't stray from his work, and if there are any problems, call me.”
When Ye Shuang arrived, Han Chu looked like he was about to leave; he did not seem like he was going to stay for long. One would think that he was the father who was suddenly called out for work, reminding his wife to look after their son who had the habit of running away from doing his homework.
The drowsy Anthony yawned while seated at the dining table. As he munched on the sandwich, he rubbed his eyes. It looked like he might slip back to sleep at any moment. ”I was dealing with the information until dawn, so I've slept for only an hour. You need to give me some time to rest.”
Han Chu had no pity for the man. ”You can go back to sleep now. When the things arrive, Xiao Shuang will be here to wake you up.”
Anthony looked at the clock and faked some tears. ”There is less than one hour until noon. Can't I work after dinner?”
Han Chu stopped moving and turned his head to look at Anthony without a word.
”Fine, it looks like you're not in agreement of that notion.” Anthony crumbled back weakly onto the table.
Han Chu huffed lightly and nodded at Ye Shuang, who was hugging her arms, enjoying the show. ”Remember to watch over him.”
”No problem,” Ye Shuang promised with a smile. After packing all his stuff, Han Chu did not dawdle. When Su Zheng arrived, he grabbed his bag and left. Ye Shuang waited half an hour after lunch before hearing the doorbell from the carrier.
She could not recognize any of the tools, so she called Anthony to inspect them himself. After making sure that there was no mistake, she thanked the carrier. Other than ensuring that Anthony was working, that was practically her schedule for the rest of the day. After biting one apple, sipping two cups of coffee, watching three dramas, when the show cut to commercials, Ye Shuang finally got bored.
”Tony, do you mind if I go out for a while?” The bored Ye Shuang went to disturb the hardworking golden retriever.
Anthony lifted the small drill that he was holding. He pouted and shook his head. ”I wish to leave as well, but I can't. With you here, at least I have some motivation, but if I'm left all alone, I will feel that the world is too unfair.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
Misery loves company. Since he could not relax, he had to drag another down with him. If everyone had gone out to play and he was stuck indoor because he needed to work, then Anthony would go seriously crazy.
Ye Shuang sighed. ”As a man, you should act more gentlemanly.”
”As a woman, shouldn't you act kinder and gentler?” Anthony wiped away the tears that were non-existent.
Ye Shuang sighed and sunk back down into her chair. ”But I'm so bored.”
”Hmm, I know.” The smiling Anthony also sighed. As he turned back to work, he said in a non-serious tone, ”After I'm done, we can play.”
The table was not as clean as before. Other than Anthony's laptop, there were also Ye Shuang's notebook and the desktop that was moved there from the bedroom. Other than that, there were various devices on the ground flashing, signs that they were working. A cluster of electrical lines crisscrossed over the devices, and the three screens showed endless professional data and schemes. It only took a glance from a normal person to have a headache.
Even though Ye Shuang was a font of knowledge, she had no idea what the theory behind these things was. After all, on the other planet, the system of knowledge was not identical to that on Earth. Other than recognizing some hardware, other soft knowledge like AI science and nuclear physics eluded Ye Shuang.
Ye Shuang eventually got bored from staring at the three screens. So, she turned around to study the more eye-appeasing baby-faced golden retriever.
When a person was fully focused on something, they would subconsciously perform actions out of habit. Anthony normally liked to put on a cutesy face to let others underestimate him. When he was working, the corner of his lips would turn up, and he looked cute and sunny. If Ye Shuang did not know about his background before hand, she would not have suspected that this bright handsome man was a highly dangerous hacker.
After looking for a while, Ye Shuang could not help to reach out and poke the dimple on the golden retriever's cheek. ”If you run surveillance on an entire city, how much can you manage? How detailed can it be?”
”Hmm?” Anthony turned his innocent face around. He touched his cheek and blinked. ”That depends… if the scale is limited to a city, the most effective method is to connect to the satellite, but are you sure that you want to survey an entire city and not a single person inside that city? You have to understand that the amount of information that happens every second inside a city is immense—a single person would not be able to parse all that information.”
Changing another hand, Ye Shuang poked at his dimple again. ”Have you seen that racing movie? Is there a system like that sky watcher system, a system that tracks a person's location no matter where he is in the world?”
”Who are you planning to track?” Anthony turned his head back to work while diverting part of attention to answer the question. ”Naturally, the movie exaggerates. In real life, the system can only automatically follow a target's movement through the street and not across countries. To reach the level shown by the movie, it is not achievable with a single program. To make a comparison, if you need to control the street, you need access to the satellite; to observe one's phone, you need to access the 'prism'; to observe the vehicle network, you need to access the CAN headquarters… This involves hacking through various confidential government bodies. No organization can access so much in secret and not trigger the detection by related bodies. That is not to mention the many programs that you need to run at the same time to control the glut of information that is going through at the same time…
”Of course, if you just want to track a single person, that is doable manually, but that also requires very high skill and extremely fast reactions.” Anthony puffed up his cheeks to think about it before adding, ”Actually, one must be skillful enough to negotiate all these connections freely and have a hand speed of at least three hundred APM.”
”Hmm…” Ye Shuang hummed to herself. The American movies are getting more and more prone to exaggeration. Looks like I can't trust everything I see.
Anthony was suddenly reminded of something, and he chirped excitedly. ”But if you're interested, we can go to Las Vegas together this July!”
After we deal with official business, we can directly register our marriage. The whole process can be done in fifteen minutes.
After all, Las Vegas was known as the city with the highest marriage rate. It was not a joking issue that the place was the go-to spot for newly-weds and honeymooners.
This way, there will be someone to bake gingerbread cookies and knit wool caps for me every year… Anthony thought sweetly.
