"What is this?" Arthur frowned.

"This is a hard drive box. The titanium alloy shell and triple lock structure cannot be opened because the inside is in a vacuum state.

Therefore, once the change of air pressure is turned on, the data in the hard disk will be deleted immediately. Therefore, neither the traditional disassembly method nor the cutting method can be used.

The only way to remove the read restriction is to unlock an internal mechanical lock. It may be a bit reluctant to say that it is a mechanical lock. In fact, it should be called a mechanical photoelectric lock. Lin Rui explained.

Arthur was obviously attracted. "The photoelectric lock? Where is it? Here?" He looked at a small hole in the hard drive box.

"That's right, this small hole of only 0.5 mm is the mechanical keyhole. There is a specially processed metal needle that penetrates from this position. It is about two centimeters away. The mechanical lock can be unlocked." Lin Rui Replied.

"What's the principle?" Arthur frowned.

"Optical information storage. This hard disk will read the photoelectric information on the mechanical key to unlock the mechanical lock." Lin Rui replied.

"That is to say, this key itself stores certain information. And there is a laser scanning device inside this hard disk box that can confirm the information carried by this key.

Turn on if the information is correct, what happens if the information is wrong? "Arthur asked.

"Similarly, the internal information will be cleaned up." Sergey replied. "I came to you just to ask you to introduce me to a reliable expert. I know you have been in this industry for a long time, and I must know some experts.

We have to find someone like this to open it for us. "

Arthur shook his head, "The mechanical key is so delicately designed, there must be other software locks inside, and this thing is not so easy to unlock.

I know some people, but I am afraid that none of them will do it. This thing is definitely not for ordinary use, I have never seen such a complicated structure, as if it is not for storing data. It is specifically for deleting data.

Those who can use this kind of thing are probably not ordinary people. Cracking this thing is time-consuming and laborious, and it is very likely to be dangerous. I don't think no one will do it. "

"Then how are you? I remember that you were one of the best at the time, I don't know if you can still hold it now.

Help my boss solve this trouble, I owe you the money, my boss will pay it back. Sergey replied.

Arthur hesitated obviously, but finally shook his head. "I'm older and don't want to cause trouble."

"I can guarantee that you won't get into any trouble." Lin Rui replied looking at him.

Arthur looked at him, "This thing is not impossible to crack, I can match the key. But without a template, I need a while. Maybe it may take a week or so."

"Three hundred thousand marks. Is this price okay?" Lin Rui asked.

"At least half a million. You know that made in Germany is very expensive. But we are good value for money." Arthur smiled.

"Four hundred thousand. If you don't do it, we will find someone else. You are not the only expert in this area. But we need to find someone who is trustworthy and has a strong mouth." Lin Rui looked at him.

Arthur thought for a while and stretched out his hand, "Deal."

"There is another condition. During the whole cracking process, this box cannot leave our sight." Lin Rui replied.

Arthur hesitated for a while, "I'm afraid this won't work, I hope you understand that this requires some professional equipment, let professional people do it."

"Yes, but we must be with this box from beginning to end. Believe me, this is for your good." Lin Rui said calmly.

"For me?" Arthur raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

"Make sure you haven't touched the data inside this hard drive box. Otherwise, you may be in trouble." Lin Rui replied.

Arthur was silent for a while, then turned to look at Sergey, "What the **** is this thing?"

"We can't say. The same thing, if you know where this thing comes from? It also means trouble for you." Sergey spread his hands.

"I knew I wouldn't have such a good thing when I met you, and there would be no such good money." Arthur shook his head, "Well, if you insist on doing this, I'm afraid you will be with me throughout the whole process. Together."

"What do you mean?" Lin Rui asked.

"We can't open this box, so we can only figure out the internal structure by scanning.

Optical storage technology is not a complicated technology, it has been available decades ago. Through scanning, we can figure out what model of the internal laser head is and which manufacturer is it from?

Then, based on the conclusions drawn from the scan, prescribe the right medicine. We have to make an identical key, which may not be exactly the same as the original one.

As long as it can be accurately identified, or even cheated the identification system, it's fine. But it takes a lot of effort. Arthur replied.

"No problem, we have time. But we absolutely can't let this box leave our sight." Lin Rui slowly stretched out his hand, "Now we can make a deal."

"Damn Russell, it looks like you are not bringing me a good deal, but a very tricky thing.

But it doesn't matter, it is also quite challenging for me. What's more, you still pay. Arthur nodded.

For the next week, Lin Rui and Sergey stayed with Arthur. And Arthur also started his cracking work.

But obviously even Arthur underestimated the complexity of this hard drive box.

They used nearly half a month for the work originally planned to be completed in a week.

Arthur finally produced a thin needle that could replace the metal probe of the original key.

"There is only one chance. Either succeed or make a mistake, and if there is a mistake, there is no second chance. But as far as I am concerned, I have tried my best.

This is the key I made, and I can assure you that, fortunately you found me, I am one of the few people who cracked this thing. "Arthur looked at them and put the fine needles he made on the table.

"Is this the key you made?" Lin Rui looked at the golden needle on the table.

"That's right, don't look at such a small thing, it took a lot of effort. It looks like a very smooth pin to the naked eye. But in fact, it's all over it, there are about 2,400 pits.

During laser scanning, a special set of data will be read based on these pits. Be recognized by the system and unlock the mechanical lock. Arthur looked at the two of them, "Success or failure depends on this. Which of you two will come first?" "

"If you make a mistake, will all the information in it be emptied?" Lin Rui asked rhetorically.

"Theoretically, this is the case. I am not without the possibility of mistakes." Arthur looked at him and nodded.
