Chapter 9

Melody typed rapidly on the keyboard, and a black command window popped up.

"Now, enter the password."

I took a deep breath and recited a complex password consisting of 19 characters, including both uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. "D... M... G... h... a... n... o... v... e... r... 1... 9... 9... 8... k... l... a... u... s...!"

When I uttered the last character, Melody's finger stopped on the Enter key. She looked up in shock at me.

The first half of this password was DMG and Honover. The second half... was the name of her Gorman mentor! 1998 was the year her mentor joined DMG!

This was something her mentor had told her privately. It was a God password that theoretically existed but was never allowed to be used!

She no longer hesitated and slammed down the Enter key forcefully.

On the screen, the black window was instantly filled with a line of green 'ACCESS GRANTED'.

A hidden interface, filled with various data, popped up.

Henry turned deathly pale instantly.

"Open the log file 'system_log.txt'," I commanded.

Melody found the file and double-clicked to open it.

The densely packed system records were presented to everyone.

I pointed to the last few lines. "Look here. Just yesterday afternoon at 3.15 PM. A device with the IP address '202.118.XXX.XXX' logged into the backend system through the remote maintenance port. Login permission: Administrator. Operation log: Modified the core security parameter 'Voltage_Threshold', increasing it from the default 1.2 to 1.8."

"This IP address..." Melody's fingers searched on the keyboard. She then suddenly looked up, her eyes shooting toward Henry. "It's the dedicated education network of Westham University Town."

Henry was a visiting professor at Westham University!

All eyes instantly focused on Henry.

Bill's eyes were no longer filled with anger, but with a murderous chill.

Cold sweat poured down Henry's forehead, instantly soaking his shirt collar.

I delivered the final blow. "Raising the voltage threshold from 1.2 to 1.8 will not cause any hardware damage when the machine is off. But as soon as power is applied and the servo motor starts working, the instantaneous voltage detected by the system will immediately exceed the 1.8 threshold, triggering the highest level overload alarm and forcibly locking the system. It'll create the illusion that the motherboard has been damaged and burned by high voltage.

"This way, the machine, which originally only had a minor mechanical problem, will truly have a motherboard failure. Then, he could make Mr. Lamar spend 1.2 million dollars to buy a brand new motherboard from that so-called Gorman original factory channel... that Henry specified, right?"
