During World War II, the Germans invented a new type of war code, which claimed to never be deciphered, and it was Ingmar. The machine has 5 rotors, 10 wires, and can derive up to 200 million combinations. And these combinations of methods, can only let the intelligence personnel to try one by one, to complete these tasks you say how is it possible? Britain's MI6, there were 10 people at the time, assuming that everyone can calculate a result per minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, just like this, how long do you think it will take to check these combinations? I said the answer directly, 20 million years, and if you want the results to work on the war, this hundred million time can not exceed 20 minutes at most, in order to complete this goal, the British military has asked out a lot of the strongest brains. For example, the translation expert who is proficient in various Chinese, the top national player in the chess competition, and the genius of the mathematics department of Cambridge University, his name is Turing, Turing said: "In fact, the essence of this code is the most difficult anagram game in the world, so I don't want these colleagues, it is better to give me a few who can solve the puzzle." ”
This movie is adapted from real events, in which the protagonist Turing, we must know how much this person is dick, I give two examples, the first, we all know that there is a creature called programmer, he is the founder of the programmer's door, the American Computer Association in order to commemorate him, specially set up a picture to receive the award, has now become the Oscar of the computer industry; the second, Apple mobile phone everyone knows it, anecdotal rumors, now the logo on the back of their mobile phone, that is, this apple that was bitten off, It was specially designed to commemorate him, because Turing committed suicide by eating a poisonous apple. He has two titles, the world is recognized as the father of computer science, the father of artificial intelligence, in this era of application information explosion, computers are so developed, Turing's story You really need to understand it.
In today's terms, Turing's emotional intelligence is very low, colleagues want to eat with him, Turing's head is not lifted, put on a stinky face and say: "I have no time to work, I don't eat!" "He wants to buy a machine, he has to find a leader to approve the budget, you guess what he said?" Turing said, "If you want to buy it, you can buy it, and you can't understand the explanation anyway." The leader was angry enough, and the leader said: "Okay, if you want to buy it, you can go to the prime minister for approval, I can't understand that I will definitely not approve it." "Unexpectedly, this Turing is still very shafty, he really wrote a letter to Churchill, the result is even more unexpected, the prime minister not only approved, but also appointed him as the new head of the intelligence service.
In fact, the reason why Turing's personality is strange is entirely because his childhood is more tragic, he had obsessive-compulsive disorder when he was a child, and he had to separate the green and yellow dishes when eating, and then Turing was sprinkled with vegetables, and the classmates around him laughed. This was not enough, once he was nailed to the floor, a few bullying schoolchildren stepped on it, and the bald spirit suddenly had an epiphany, could it be that the louder I screamed, the more excited they were? Then I didn't tell you to step on it, and as a result, this group of bullies stepped on it for half a day, but in the end, ah really left, Tuling guessed correctly, these primary school students saw that he did not resist, and felt that it was not interesting to pull down. In any case, it was his childhood that left a particularly tragic shadow.
Speaking of now, as soon as Turing took office, he fired several experts who were mixed and waiting to die, ready to change a group of new people, and the criteria for selecting people was a set of anagrams. The Intelligence Bureau printed the anagram into the newspaper, triggering a national frenzy of questioning, engineers, soldiers, students, grandfathers and aunts, everyone is doing the problem, but Turing is the fastest. Now re-examination, the assessment time was only given 6 minutes, the result is really a person to hand in the paper, Turing looked at all the right, the problem is that even if he let him personally solve the problem, it took a full 8 minutes at the beginning, the so-called 6 minutes, but he just wanted to give everyone a little pressure.
Xiao li, the person who handed over the paper, he wanted to pick, but Xiao Li's parents said that it was very inconvenient for women to enter the military department, and this Turing was a trust relationship and went through the back door, promising that the other party could work at home. In short, to overcome all difficulties, we must give Xiaoli a whole. And to solve the external troubles, there are also internal worries. Turing fiddled with the 100,000-euro machine every day, and paid no attention to the work, which caused public anger. You said that everyone loses their hair for the country every day, your supervisor doesn't know what to do every day, a few people almost smashed the machine in a fit of anger, thanks to one of them, there is still a trace of sanity to stop. But just like that, it is only a matter of time before the rebels are separated.
But Turing is really idle, of course not, that era is more conservative, there is a difference between men and women, he can only take advantage of the dark, stuff his research results into socks, and then sneak into the second floor of Xiaoli's house to carry out secret research with this new comrade-in-arms. Turing is very smart but has low emotional intelligence, fortunately there is a little Li by his side, he told Turing, even if you are smart, it is impossible to do all the work alone, you have to find a way to improve leadership.
Make a good relationship with colleagues, you don't say that Turing really listens to it, the solution is not difficult, Turing bought an apple for each colleague, and then stumbled and told a joke, although it is not funny at all, but everyone is very face-saving, and they all laughed a little. Anyway, during this time, colleagues could feel Turing's determination to decipher, so they decided to accept his kindness, and they helped optimize the Turing machine together, and as a result, the speed of operation was increased by 500 times in one afternoon. Now ready to restart, Turing was agitated, saying, "Hopefully, we can decipher German intelligence within 24 hours!" Then Turing sat in front of the machine for several days.
The leader of this matter also heard about it, and he thought to himself, don't you use electricity? So they took the guards to do the sabotage, they forced the Turing machine to shut down, and then tied Turing up, saying that he wanted to fire this useless waste, Turing argued on the basis of reason, but he was stupid, and he couldn't argue with the official at all. I didn't expect that at this time, colleagues came in, everyone was very unanimous, if you fired him, we will not do it, now the people in this room are the top cryptography experts in the country, if they are all fired, then this stall will really not be able to find anyone to pick up for a while and a half. The leader did not dare to offend the crowd, so he had to let Turing go again, but he also made a cruel remark: "Your last time is only one month, and now there is no time and resources for you to waste." ”
At this time, Xiao Li had a problem there again, and his parents said: "You are twenty-five years old and have no object, and we don't understand this class every day, so we can just go home." As soon as he heard this, Turing was immediately anxious, and at this critical moment, Xiao Li still couldn't do it when she went home to work? Only to see him pull out a wire, wrap his fingers around a few times and start to riot, he is going to propose to Xiaoli, he has to keep her. Colleagues accompanied Turing to celebrate in the bar, Xiaoli also brought a good girlfriend, when several people chatted, the girlfriend inadvertently said a word, he said that everyone has a small habit, such as before he saw a person write a letter, each time at the beginning of a word "CILLY", do not know what it means. Turing's eyes lit up when he heard this sentence, because the German telegrams would also have habits, such as the phrase "Long live Hitler" that is often hung on the lips.
If you can find a known word as a constant, enter it into the computer, then the proofreading efficiency will be at least ten million times higher, realize that this problem Turing does not care about anything, and go straight to the laboratory. After finding the keyword, everyone started the device, and within a few minutes, click, the exhaustion was terminated, the Turing machine finally had a result, and everyone entered the result into the encoder, and got a latitude and longitude coordinate. Sure enough, several people hugged each other and cried, from today onwards, German intelligence will no longer have any secrets, the British Intelligence Service cracked a message, the Germans will attack a fleet in half an hour, and the time for them to save people is finally coming.
A colleague, pick up the phone to call the leader, the result Turing snatched the phone away, he said that the German army wanted to blow up let him blow it up, and then dropped the phone, colleagues all thought that Turing successfully cracked the password, happy confused, this person's life is closed to heaven, why not save, Turing took the initiative to open his mouth, he said: "We spent two years to crack the intelligence, now save people is able to save, but the next day, the German backhand will change the code for you, so now even if your brother is on the ship can not save, Because our task is to help the country and help the world win World War II. ”
Turing approached the Minister of War and made a request to him, saying that we don't want to be heroes in this war, and that cracking the German code must not be declared. Next we are going to develop a new system that figures out which attacks should be prevented, or which attacks should be made, and must take the least amount of action to ensure that the war is won, and save more people without attracting the attention of the Germans. Impressed by his selfless spirit, the minister decided to help him complete the secret plan, and returned to the Intelligence Bureau, where Turing accidentally discovered that a colleague was a Soviet spy, and he hesitated to unmask his colleague while hurrying home.
It turned out that the leader was waiting for the rabbit in his house, and the original leader had long known that his colleague was a spy, but he needed a spy so that he could pass on intelligence to the Soviet Union. If you want to take the normal path, it is estimated that the prime minister will not allow it, he is a bit rigid, so the leader can only be secretly Chen Cang, because the Soviet Union is also a friendly army. Therefore, this kind of edge-skimming thing is not treason, but for Turing, who recognizes death, it must be used by some means. He must help, otherwise the military will arrest Xiaoli, and Turing has no choice but to agree.
But he was still not at ease, or afraid that these people would rebel, so Turing asked Xiao li to give her a stinky scolding and scolded her away. The next period of time was very painful, because it was very cruel, Turing's calculation seemed to be able to bleed, Turing was deciding whether others were dead or alive every day, they were always helping the Allies to victory, but no one knew, after all, it was their own decision. The Battle of Stalingrad, the Battle of ardennes, the Landings in Normandy, these victories and turning points could not have been discussed without intelligence clues.
At the end of the Second World War, the Minister of War gathered these people together and announced their dissolution: "You are going to burn everything down, never mention it, although the war is over, but there may be other wars in the future, if the enemy knows that Britain can crack the highest level of secret reports, it is not necessarily a good thing for the country, so you can only be unsung heroes." "Never heard of such a good thing, if there is no accident, we will never see each other again in this life, I wish you a bright future, a few people turned and left the room, and the past of MI6 came to an end."
