Chapter 5 Section five

An article in the form of a direct book is displayed on the computer screen. But even if I read it, I can't understand it, because these strings are not meaningful articles, but a collection of characters arranged in random numbers.Kanji, hiragana, and katakana are sorted alternately, forming a sequence of characters that doesn't make any sense.These word strings are connected side by side on the screen, giving people an unusual feeling. "Look this way." Tea pointed to the screen, where it said "Hey, look, it doesn't seem to exist, right?"Unlike the strings of words arranged in random numbers around them, only there can be regarded as sentences.

"What the hell is this?" I asked. "It's Natsume Soseki's article." "What's the meaning?" "If you imagine, first open the novel." "Ok." "The articles are listed smoothly, right?" "Ok." "If you think of every word on the page as a dot, the opened novel is equivalent to a painting, right?" "Ok?" "This, it's a reverse calculation from the shade of this painting to reproduce the author's writing formula." I asked for a more detailed explanation. The first is to treat the words that make up the pages of a novel as images.For example, characters like "一" have fewer strokes, so the color density on white paper is lighter, while characters like "香" are darker in color.When they are listed together, there will naturally be different shades in the book. Tea said that this shade can show the writer's habits.Let this program record the shading mode of Natsume Soseki’s works, and repeat the output of the string hundreds of times according to this mode, and finally the meaningful article that finally appeared is the “Hey, look, it doesn’t seem to exist” just now——Tea Water Said so proudly.

"Are you free?" "Quite idle." Cha Shui replied with no longer a complacent face. "It's simply impossible to write articles based on shades." "It's not impossible. I actually wrote an article." "But I don't understand it at all." "But, don't you think it smells like Natsume Soseki?" I looked at the sentence "Hey, look, it doesn't seem to exist, right?"I don't want to admit it, but I do feel that way. "The rest is the question of accuracy and times. As long as we delve into the method of analyzing the light and shade patterns, the probability of meaningful articles will definitely increase dramatically."

Tea said quite seriously that his attitude towards literature seems to be completely different from mine.Having said that, if you don’t have this kind of perverted thinking mode that allows you to read articles from a shaded point of view, it may be difficult to want to enter the research institute.The new realm of literature must be created by a man like him. "Okay, as long as we work hard to develop this program..." I also didn't think of the reason why I came to this room until now. "But it's hard to be the subject of a novel." "Is there no way?"

"Although it can't be said that there is no sense of science fiction at all, the subject matter of language... is a fairly ordinary old meme." "Ordinary? Yes, it is indeed ordinary." "Now I am often asked by the editor if I can write more impactful, so I want to avoid becoming more ordinary. Is there any other more impactful subject matter?" "Shocking... that's it." The tea was facing the computer again, and I also borrowed a chair from the side to sit down. He clicked on the shortcut icon on the desktop that he hadn't seen before, and opened a software that I hadn't seen before.Although the English title appeared at the beginning, it disappeared immediately so I didn't see it clearly.

"What was written there just now?" "'The Library of Babel'." Then the window popped out.In addition to one person's window, there are two medium-sized windows and four small-sized windows around them, which display Japanese and English character strings respectively. "What exactly is this?" "It's a software for logging into the researcher's forum. It doesn't distinguish between liberal arts or science, and gathers researchers from various fields. The name of this forum is 'Babel's Library'." "Oh, is it gathering together to do something?"

"It's not like that. People sometimes chat, sometimes they talk about topics in specialized fields, and there is also a chat room for seriously discussing the content of the paper. To be honest, I basically worked on the algorithm of the article's shade pattern analysis program just now. I made it after being prompted by the forum. Because there are many people who are stronger than me here." Tea will compliment others is a rare thing.He is quite a confident guy, and in my opinion, he has the strength to match his confidence.In fact, his grades were the first in the whole school year, and he passed the exams of the graduate school with ease.And there are many people here who can make tea even have to admire. It can only be said that the world is really big.

"It's interesting that you can come into contact with the most advanced things just by coming here. But there are also many discussions with a criminal atmosphere." "It really is this kind of forum... In other words, there will be many topics in this forum?" "It's true to say that, but the point is that there are some pretty incredible characters here that meet your expectations." "Oh?" "When you log in to this forum, the system will automatically give you an ID." Tea pointed to the corner of the screen, where a set of alphanumeric strings composed of random numbers was displayed, which seemed to be a personal ID.

"Because it is a temporary ID, it will change every time you log in, but in short, everyone will have a set of IDs. However, there are also a few characters without IDs here." "why?" "Because they hacked in." "Is the system vulnerable?" "It may have been very fragile before, but when it was invaded for the first time, the outstanding engineers who built the 'Tower of Babel' gathered together and seriously improved the overall system. But it was breached again immediately, so it was improved again, and it was breached again. The two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle. Engineers gathered their best technologies to write firewalls, which were then breached and then re-written. As this cycle continued, the firewall system of the "Tower of Babel" evolved enough to be called the world's most Strong grades, some even say it's harder to break through than the U.S. Department of Defense."

"It's really amazing." "However, even at this point, there are still seven people who don't have IDs and are still rolling around in the forum. These are seven people with super technology. Because these seven people are too powerful as hackers, they have become other researchers. The objects of admiration are the most famous characters in the 'Tower of Babel'. Usually they are rarely seen, but occasionally they will appear suddenly to participate in the special discussions asked by the researchers, as if they just come to chat and come up with super ideas. disappeared again."

"A character who looks like a character in a novel..." "It's very eye-catching. Only these seven people can use a fixed user name instead of ID to call themselves, or it should be said that they call themselves like this without authorization. They are 'answer answer; the last answerer', 'beaver eater'; Those seven people', 'copper water; red water', 'December ever; eternal twelfth lunar month', 'error over; failure failure', 'fever cover; decent people', 'gutter keeper; 0 points parade'." "What kind of light novel setting is this!" It is a light novel at all, and it is completely the taste of the name of the light novel.Does it really matter that there are people with this high school student tendency in the real world?Did no one around tell them not to take such a name? "And beaver is not an otter..." "It seems that he thought Beaver was an otter." The level suddenly lowered, although those people obviously have super technology. "Other people have a lot of personal information, such as the otter and the eternal twelfth lunar month, and the final answerer is Japanese, and the 0-point parade is British...the other decent people are A-type Ophiuchus." "It's really a group of people who are easy to get along with..." "How? Shocking reference, huh?" If I refer to these people, I have to rethink the publication classification of my work.
