Binary code Mystery number two
Шрифт:
From the beautiful forest park that was part of the virgin forest that had been carefully preserved during the construction of the city, Rutra looked down at the nuclear weapons factory, humming away across the river. Only the roofs of its workshops were visible. It was not hard to guess that they were like icebergs, two-thirds of them underwater. The famous factory staircase of 385 steps descended to the Yuryuzan. Rutru was waiting for a car, he got into it, and the driver took him to the airport in Magnitogorsk. Now he cared little about reports and commitments, he was heading home, his head was spinning, literally and figuratively, from recent events. Now he dreamed of becoming an ordinary man, as before, which, most likely, was impossible, although, maybe, and it was not necessary, the main thing – to take control.
***
Rutra, of course, said he was going home, wanting to spend a couple of days with his family. He was met at the airport by the staff of Center Zero, headed by the administrator, who, although he was a family man, was, according to the firm rules, only the administrator in such situations. On the way home, they outlined the most important events that had occurred in the "invisible" world, which had not been reported earlier in the report via encrypted communication, albeit in coded phrases, for security reasons. From the information received, even with superficial analysis, Ruthra concluded that the game was heading toward a certain finish line. Someone had to be sacrificed. Snowden, WikiLeaks, offshore scandals were nothing compared to the release of information by Stratfor.
"Stratfor was an American private intelligence and analysis company. It has been called the "shadow CIA". It was founded in 1996 by American political scientist George Friedman, who heads the company until now. The company collects and analyzes information on world events.
The company's client list is confidential, but Rutra was aware that among them were major corporations and government agencies – both U.S. and foreign, including Russian.
All this was just a screen for periodic leaks from real intelligence agencies. During Rutra's absence, information was leaked about the Russian president's ties with agents of the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND). Naturally, with secret information thrown in, with signatures and seals, meeting places, passwords and safe houses. The seedbed was launched, and no one has ever realized that the president had been working abroad in the past, in the past, in a structure of a different orientation. It was proved that he was recruited under the threat of disclosure of information about his connections with the Colombian drug mafia.
At the same time, the press received information that the United States had allegedly completed work on the missile defense system and secretly tested it. The test was officially presented as a joint firing exercise with European allies to repel a missile attack by a terrorist group whose name was translated as "punishment from heaven" or "punishment from heaven.
The third part of the information pyramid was the leaking to the media of an allegedly existing report by the U.S. Military Space Intelligence Service on the installation by Russia, along the U.S. coast, of the latest Skif ballistic missile capable of being in standby mode on the seabed and ocean floor and, at the right moment, firing on command to hit land and sea targets. It was noted that the laying of such missiles in several areas of the bottom will make it possible to hit the target at the necessary moment without involving submarines. This caused such a stormy resonance that European and American media were "boiling". Some blamed the United States, claiming that it pays so much tax and the military allowed enemy missiles to be placed under their noses, while others were angry at Russia, demanding that it be punished.
There was no less hype in Russia. The country was clearly divided into two camps in terms of its attitude to what was happening, and not on the socio-economic principle. Some were convinced of the incumbent president, claiming that only he would punish Russia's enemies, which turned out to be almost everyone around them, while others were ready to die to free the country from the "junta that seized power. There were those who believed that both options were wrong. Rutru had little interest in all of this, he was just wondering how such a company had turned out so quickly. He even began to suspect that it had been at least a month, not a few days, since the events had unfolded so quickly, then he analyzed the reality that said it was not so.
– How so soon, why now, who authorized it, what is the purpose? – Rutra demanded reports from his subordinates.
– A direct order from Hristoforovich," reported the head of the security service.
Rutra's questioning look was answered by the center's administrator.
– The top of all news bans jamming pro-Western information, the purpose being to prepare the U.S. Treasury's refusal to accept U.S. dollars printed to "walk" outside the states.
– It's already started, isn't it? I haven't finished my investigation yet.
Rutra now decided to finalize some details. In order to save time, including family time, he called Hent, said that he was ready to discuss a further plan in the morning, and received approval. Thus, discussing current affairs, he arrived home. At home, as always under such circumstances, everyone was jubilant.
The next day Ruthra met with Hent, the latter was in high spirits.
– Well, did you bring the scientist to the coffin? – he asked, ostensibly seriously.
Ruthra realized that Hent was joking like that.
– How can you think that of me," Ruthra said with supposed indignation. – I tried my best to save him, and he went in there himself.
– What conclusions, what is your opinion? – Hent asked seriously now.
– I connected to you during the explanation to the members of the operational staff, nothing else so far.
– Yeah, I wrote it down. And further investigation, details, chronology of events at the firing range?
– Yarovitovich said he'd take care of his own. By the way, he sends his regards to you.
– Thank you," Hent laughed.
Ruthra, realizing he didn't quite get the humor, decided to clarify for himself.
– By the way, here's a question. He can call you, can't he?
– Well you businessman, even here forget to have a conversation about it," he said and pointed his finger downwards.
– And yet – what, there's no connection?
– Forget it. Of course there is, why would there be a "hub"?
Rutra wanted to ask what was behind "saying hello" to someone you could call, justifying it as not personal curiosity.
– That's it, cease and desist. Remember only the main task. The nuclear center in Sarov still hasn't figured out anything, continue the investigation, go to them, we need to understand what the point is. What are your thoughts on the matter?
– Perhaps it is because the operation of their supercomputer is based on the principle of parallel computing, while the program is encrypted using the serial mode principle.
– So check on another computer based on the right principle. If it helps, of course.
– You don't think so?
– I think some results should have been here.
– There's a supercomputer at the firing range, too. How does it work?
– It's the same. Even if there were another, he can't be "distracted".
– Which one can I use then?
– You had Los Alamos on your program, there.
– That's not what I was supposed to check with them, something else.
– And you check it out, we'll make a deal, it's in our system.
– How do I get the program out?
