Chapter 317 Operation Log of a Certain Device
"Okay, I'll assist you," Su Ming replied, secretly pleased with his partner's courage. Even in such a critical moment, they were still able to find a way forward, which filled him with anticipation for the team's future.
After returning to the control console, Su Ming and the young researcher quickly began analyzing the data, checking every possible factor one by one. Meanwhile, the alarms outside the laboratory continued to sound, as if adding pressure to their efforts.
"This is the challenge we must face." Su Ming took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm, and silently told himself in his heart that anything can be solved as long as they unite.
As time went on, they gradually discovered a possible cause, and hope rekindled. The young researcher's fingers flew across the keyboard, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Look, there's a clear correlation between this data and the power load."
"Very good, this is the evidence we need." Su Ming secretly rejoiced in his heart, realizing that as long as they grasped the key, they might be able to solve their current dilemma.
However, just as they were about to conduct an in-depth analysis, the laboratory door suddenly opened, and several senior managers hurried in, their faces showing a hint of nervousness. Su Ming's heart instantly rose to his throat, knowing that the situation might have reached a point of no return.
"What are you doing?" a senior manager asked in a stern tone, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
"We are analyzing the anomalies in the power system so that we can solve the problem in a timely manner." Su Ming tried his best to remain calm and tried to make the other party understand their situation.
"Time is running out. The safety of the laboratory is facing a threat. You must stop all work immediately and wait for further instructions." The senior staff's voice was ruthless, as if exerting invisible pressure on them.
"We can't give up, we must persevere!" The young researcher responded excitedly, his face full of determination.
"Now is not the time to discuss this." Su Ming looked at the young researcher, trying to appear calm. He understood that at a moment like this, staying calm was crucial.
"I hope you can realize the urgency of the current situation." The senior staff's voice was still stern, and it seemed that they did not give them more opportunities.
Su Ming pondered inwardly that perhaps only by completely resolving the power system issue could they regain the trust of the higher-ups. At the same time, doubts began to arise in his heart: Was all this really as simple as they thought?
Time slipped away in a pressing atmosphere, and Su Ming realized he had to act quickly to break the deadlock. He turned around and saw the anxious face of the young researcher, and a wave of emotion welled up in his heart: they had been through so much together along the way, but no matter what, they couldn't give up.
“Let’s give ourselves some more time
Su Ming realized he had few options and had to make a quick decision under pressure from senior management. He knew that if he stopped all work immediately and waited for further instructions, all their previous efforts would be suspended, and the power anomaly that had already occurred could cause irreversible damage. However, if he persisted, he would risk violating direct orders from his superiors, bringing even greater consequences.
"Let's give ourselves a few more minutes," Su Ming whispered to the young researcher, casting a firm but non-confrontational look at the senior management. He knew he had to project calm and control, even as the pressure surged within him.
"If we can quickly resolve the power load issue, the entire lab can return to normal operations, which will buy us more time." Su Ming pondered, rapidly considering his next move. He cast his gaze upon the data display on the console. The constantly flashing numbers on the screen made him feel like he was racing against time. His anxiety gradually gave way to rational thinking, and his focus calmed him down.
"Do you think this will work?" the young researcher asked in a low voice, his face revealing uneasiness and doubt.
Su Ming nodded slightly, having already made his decision. "We're approaching a critical point. Just one more push and all the data will return to normal." He kept his tone steady, trying to calm the other person.
"What are you waiting for?" The senior manager's voice came from behind, his tone full of dissatisfaction and urgency. Clearly, he didn't want Su Ming's team to delay any further.
"Give us some time." Su Ming looked directly at the other person, his tone neither humble nor arrogant. "Once normal operations are restored, you will see that we can succeed."
The other party frowned, as if hesitating. The silence of a few seconds seemed to become incomparably long. Su Ming's heartbeat quickened. He knew that he was gambling on everything.
"Alright," the senior manager finally relented, his voice still threatening. "You have five minutes. If this problem isn't resolved, then, as I say, cease all work."
Five minutes. Time is starting to become precious.
"Let's get started," Su Ming said to the young researcher, his eyes determined. He knew that these five minutes might be their last chance to decide success or failure.
The two quickly got to work, closely observing every data point on the screen. Su Ming's mind was spinning rapidly, trying to find a path to a solution from these complex numbers. His fingers moved rapidly across the keyboard, hardly daring to pause for a moment.
"I found that the power consumption here is a bit abnormal!" The young researcher suddenly spoke, pointing to a piece of data on the screen.
"Where is it?" Su Ming leaned over, his eyes fixed on the monitor. "This doesn't match our previous load analysis. The load suddenly increased at a certain moment."
"It's possible that there's a problem with a component in the device, causing a power overload." The young researcher expressed his speculation with uncertainty in his voice.
Su Ming narrowed his eyes and began to analyze the situation calmly. This sudden power fluctuation was indeed unusual, but he knew he had to find the root cause to fully resolve the problem. "We can't just speculate. Immediately retrieve the detailed records for that period. I need to see the operating status of the equipment."
A few seconds later, the data came out. A new anomaly appeared before them: power consumption increased dramatically within a few seconds, far exceeding the normal range.
"Oh no, this kind of fluctuation is likely to cause the system to crash." Su Ming's heart suddenly tightened, but he knew that he could not hesitate any longer.
"Hurry! We have to manually adjust the load and reduce consumption before the power system completely collapses." Su Ming gave the order decisively.
"I'll adjust it right away!" The young researcher acted quickly, his fingers rapidly typing instructions on the keyboard.
Su Ming's heartbeat quickened, knowing they were running out of time. A variety of possible consequences played out in his mind: if the power load couldn't be brought under control in time, the entire lab's operations would be severely impacted, potentially corrupting all research data and potentially causing even greater technical problems.
Most importantly, failure could completely undermine the trust of their superiors in them, leading to the indefinite suspension of their research plans.
"Adjustment completed!" The young researcher's voice interrupted Su Ming's thoughts.
"Look at the results!" Su Ming's eyes were fixed on the screen, and his heart seemed to stop at that moment. After a few seconds, the data on the screen began to stabilize, and the power load curve gradually returned to normal.
"Success!" the young researcher shouted excitedly, a relieved smile on his face.
However, Su Ming didn't rush to celebrate. His thoughts remained on the crisis. He had a vague feeling that this power system anomaly might not be a simple technical issue, but rather a deeper hidden danger. What could have caused such a severe power fluctuation? Or was there human interference involved?
"I always feel like something is wrong." Su Ming said to himself, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
The young researcher frowned, as if beginning to grasp the complexity of the problem. "The adjustments we just made have solved the immediate problem, but the equipment's load fluctuations are so drastic that it seems more than just aging equipment or system instability can explain it."
Su Ming nodded, his inner uneasiness growing stronger. "We must carefully examine every detail to see if there are other devices or external factors affecting the power system."
The two wasted no time and immediately set about investigating all possible contributing factors. As time passed, the tension in the lab gradually eased, but Su Ming's heart remained tense.
A few hours later, they finally found a key clue: the operation log of a certain device showed that during the period when the power load fluctuated violently, the laboratory's internal network had experienced an abnormal data transmission.
"This is unusual." Su Ming stared at the data on the screen, his brow furrowed. A suspicion gradually formed in his mind: someone might be monitoring them, or even manipulating them, through the laboratory's network.
"Su Ming, do you think someone is interfering with our experiment behind the scenes?" The young researcher raised the guess that Su Ming had been avoiding in his mind, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
Su Ming didn't answer immediately, but the thought had already struck him. He realized that this crisis might be far more than just a technical issue.
"We need to investigate the source of this data transmission immediately." Su Ming made up his mind, his voice becoming low and serious. "We can't delay any longer."
The young researcher nodded and immediately began tracking the suspicious activity in the network logs. Su Ming, on the other hand, began to ponder the possible motives behind this. A deep sense of unease crept into his heart—had someone already infiltrated their system, attempting to obtain crucial data from the experiment?
