Chapter 412: Network-Centric Warfare

After the team of men in black was completely clear, Lin Rui jumped down from the top of the aisle silently.

He thought about it carefully, and immediately understood the goal of this team, they were 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 is not accidental, but someone deliberately sabotage.

Lin Rui was secretly shocked in his heart, these people reacted so quickly. Waterman is a true strategist, his judgments and decisions are as precise as a scalpel, often cutting straight to the lesion.

Now that he's found out what's wrong, the roads leading to the command center should all be closed. The result of continuing to break through by himself can only be encircled. Lin Rui frowned slightly, quickly turned around and returned to the warehouse location on the upper floor. He knew that all the way from the generator room to the command center must have been tightly sealed by the other party.

The only way to get close to the command center is to find another way. Although he was unwilling, he also knew that forcing himself could only kill himself. With the help of timely communication, the opposing party's orders can be sent to each specific guard, and their reaction speed and action speed are far faster than ordinary troops. If you want to fight against such an opponent, you must not expose yourself.

Looking at the darkness in front of him, Lin Rui put on a monocular night vision device. He wanted to find a suitable entry point, a shortcut to the command center without being detected. After thinking about it, he still felt that it was more appropriate to enter through the ventilation pipe. Since it is an underground facility, exhaust ventilation is very important.

Usually these vents are large enough to accommodate one person, and there is a reason why there are usually a large number of cables in underground facilities that go through these exhaust pipes. The hundreds of computers in the command center need cables that are thick enough, as well as a large number of fiber optic cables and several cables to transmit information. And these ventilation ducts extend in all directions, and it is theoretically possible to reach anywhere in this underground facility. This qiē is the best way for him to find the command center.

Lin Rui found the vent in a hidden place, and he gently unscrewed the vent shutter with the tool knife for unlocking. The blinds were removed, and as he expected, such a large underground facility. The ventilation ducts are really large, completely metal, and meet military standards, even a strong man like Johnson can withstand it inside.

Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and he leaned down and drilled in. After entering, I found that it could actually accommodate a person walking bent over, and there was no need to move forward on his stomach at all. The only drawback is his rubber boots, which make it easy to make noise when walking inside the pipe. Lin Rui took off his shoes without hesitation, took the shoes in his hands, and bent down to touch them.

In the darkness, he didn't know how long he had been gone. With the glimmer of monocular night vision, he navigated through the dense cobweb-like ventilation ducts. Suddenly, a bright spot swept across the corner of his eye, and he immediately realized that it was just a red laser spot on a laser sight.

Almost immediately, he rolled over, pulled out his M9 pistol and pointed it forward. The laser-assisted sight on the pistol is also a thin red ray, pointing straight at the opponent. But neither side fired a shot, and it was a standoff. Until Lin Rui put down the gun and scolded in a low voice, "Hell, people are scary, they will scare people to death." ”

The person on the other side was none other than Zhao Jianfei, and when he saw it clearly, Lin Rui also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How do I know it's you, when did you come in?"

"I've been in for almost two hours. Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"So, the power at the base was destroyed by you. Zhao Jianfei said in a low voice, "I said how could most of the camera surveillance fail, it turns out that you are the ghost." ”

"It's cheap, and it's good. By the way, what about actuaries?" Lin Rui thought of Jiang An.

"I don't know, I guess I sneaked in. Don't worry about him, what the hell is this kid. Maybe we're still wandering around here, and he's already in the command center by now. Zhao Jianfei said helplessly, "This damn ventilation pipe extends in all directions, and I suspect that I have lost my way." ”

"Don't worry, just now the two of us have been looking separately, but we have never met, which means that the areas we searched do not coincide. This should be the only passage. Are you first or am I first?" Lin Rui said to Zhao Jianfei.

"You go first, I'm a little inconvenient. Zhao Jianfei frowned.

"Are you injured?" Lin Rui said in surprise.

Zhao Jianfei shrugged, "I met an interception team and fought a hard battle. However, I didn't suffer much damage, just a small meaning, I was injured by a rubber bullet, and I may have broken my ribs. ”

"That's okay, I'm in front, you cut off. Lin Rui nodded, bent down and walked in front.

They made a few more turns around the ventilation duct, and suddenly a more obvious light appeared in front of them. Lin Rui's heart moved, and he immediately waved his hand back. Motioned for Zhao Jianfei to stop. Then slowly moving to the side, the shutters that let in the light through the guò look out, and only a very limited view can be seen.

It's very bright outside, and there seems to be a lot of people walking around. Everywhere there was the sound of wireless conversation, and the sound of crackling keyboards.

Lin Rui lowered his head as much as he could, and found that there was a large hall outside. The rotunda is a bit like a busy stock exchange. Everybody was on the phone, checking the computer. But instead of wearing red vests, these men wore military uniforms, and they all wore the insignia of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on their arms.

Countless pieces of information from the outside world are aggregated here, processed separately, and delivered to each individual combatant in the form of specific instructions. It's like a real brain center, the brain that deals with information warfare.

"Network-centric warfare, I should have thought of it a long time ago. Zhao Jianfei said in a low voice, "To use the so-called S system, it is impossible to do it except for such a command center." ”

"Network-centric warfare?" Lin Rui said with a frown.

"Yes, network-centric warfare, abbreviated as NCW, is a new military guiding principle created by the US Department of Defense in order to turn information superiority into war superiority. This is done by using highly reliable networks to connect separated but well-informed forces on the ground, which allows for the development of new organizational and combat methods. This kind of network allows people to share more information, cooperation and situational awareness, so that in theory, they can be aligned, command faster and act more effectively. Zhao Jianfei said in a low voice, "The so-called S system is based on this kind of operational thinking. ”

"I understand, they use all kinds of scientific and technological means to obtain information, and then analyze and summarize it here, and then distribute it to various black-clothed squads. No wonder they always act so quickly and efficiently. The actions of all these black-clad guards are tantamount to thinking with one brain. Lin Rui said in a low voice
