Chapter 409: Network Blockade

Wall Street, the name of a street in southern Manhattan, is no more than a mile long and only 11 meters wide, and it is home to some of the major financial institutions in the United States.

Lined with obsolete skyscrapers, this street is home to the headquarters of financial institutions such as the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank and large corporations such as banks, insurance, railways, and shipping opened by large conglomerates such as Rockefeller, Morgan, and DuPont.

The daily trading volume of the Wall Street market is $13 trillion, what kind of concept is this, which countries, institutions, and individuals do these money belong to, and who is manipulating the money? It can be said that this place is a barometer of the global economy and the reins of the US federation to control the lifeblood of the global economy.

Affected by the press conference of Xingyao Group, the overall trend of the Wall Street stock market is still a downward trend as yesterday.

At the scene of the stock market, countless investors stared at the market, hoping that the index would improve, during this time they lost miserably, first Xingyao Group continued to release new products, and then the invasion of alien species, causing huge economic damage, casualties, and then the outbreak of political conflicts between China and the United States, the financial crisis swept the world, under the successive blows, the global economy fell into a downturn, and the Wall Street stock market returned to the pre-liberation period overnight, compared with the peak, the overall market value fell by 35%.

However, the problem did not end there, with the release of photonic computers and bio-3D printers by Xingyao Group, which suddenly subverted the field of electronics, industrial manufacturing, and the most important industry of human society.

All of a sudden, the global stock market was once again in the midst of a crash.

"What's going on, there's no one to trade with?"

"What's going on again? Why didn't the index move?

"No! My list has already been submitted! Why is there no response? ”

"Something is wrong,......。 ”

“……。 ”

The big screen kept beating and the numbers stopped suddenly, and the investors in the hall panicked all of a sudden, and their faces changed dramatically.

"Tesla sells 1.5 points below the market price, 50,000 lots, who will take over?"

"Qualcomm sells 3 points below the market price, 30,000 lots. ”

"Diodes is 11% below the market price, buy 100,000 lots, who has it?"

“……。 ”

Panic spread across the trading floor, as if returning to the days when there were no computers, and panicked overdrafters shouted excitedly, seeking a trade partner.

Computers have an irreplaceable role in stock trading, and a systemic collapse would be catastrophic.

Since the advent of stock trading, it was a large blackboard with chalk written transaction prices, erased or filled in new prices, traders by asking shouting, trading hands, with the development of computers, the number of stocks, trading methods, types, has been greatly prosperous.

Once it returned to the pre-liberation period, it suddenly alarmed all the investors on the scene, and now the number of stocks is far more than thousands of times that of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and this primitive trading method simply does not work.

The chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, Richard, learned of the situation and suddenly changed his face.

Richard's eyes widened, and he anxiously asked the technical director, Dalles, "Why? Why is this problem happening, and what is the situation now?

"Huh", cold sweat rose from Dalles's forehead, the situation is very weird, the network link is normal, the data exchange is normal, but now the data displayed on the big screen is like being pressed by a hand, and it is not only the explicit data, but also the transaction data of the internal operating system, a powerful data force, so the transaction is 'frozen'.

"BOSS, it seems that our server has been hit by an 'unknown virus', and now all data has stopped. Technology CEO Dalles' face turned pale and quickly explained.

"Unknown virus, how is it possible!Our security system is designed by CyberArk independently, how can there be a virus?" asked Richard with a pale face and disbelief.

In order to maintain the stability of the trading system, the NYSE has paid a huge price for this, and has done a lot of work in terms of computer security precautions, data security, special server systems, cloud data storage backups, and it is very rare for the entire market to be paralyzed due to technical failures.

"BOSS, this virus is very powerful, and our backup server seems to be infected as well. Technology CEO Dalles looked at Richard with a puzzled look on his face and reported worriedly.

"What? Something is wrong with the backup server, when will it be restored?" asked Richard, with a dark face.

"This, this ....... Dalles looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

"What the hell is going on?" asked Richard, looking at Dalles, angrily.

Facing Richard's cannibalistic gaze, Dalles hardened his head, explaining: "BOSS, I can't find the cause of this right now, so I can't determine the recovery time of the trading system. ”

"What!" Richard was dumbfounded, and with a "snap", he jumped up in his chair in anger.

"Can't be sure when the recovery will be, are you going to stop trading on the exchange for an indefinite term?" Richard snarled as he glared at Dalles.

"BOSS, the situation is beyond my technical scope, I need technical support, I need top computer experts!" Dalles said helplessly, looking at Richard with a desperate expression.

Hearing this, Richard's face was full of anger and helplessness, Dalles said so, what else could he do but give support.

"I'll find you somebody, and I'll report this to the president first." Richard angrily scolded Dalles.

Hearing this, Dalles fled from Richard's office as if he had been granted amnesty.

Coincidentally

At the time of the suspension of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, major U.S. airlines suffered a major failure in their flight systems.

At major airports across the United States, passengers who are waiting to board their planes have received the unfortunate news that all flights are temporarily grounded and stopped indefinitely.

The CEOs of United Airlines, headquartered in Chicago, gathered in the server room and stared at the computer screen with computer experts, collectively staring dryly.

"BOSS, our flight command system has been invaded by an unknown virus, and the invasion method is very terrifying, and we can't find a way to crack it for the time being. ”

"Yes, the service system reset is invalid, the specified flight data is fixed, and the standby server is infected as soon as it is started, but fortunately, the data of the flight command system can operate normally, otherwise it will be a big trouble." ”

"I don't know how it did it, BOSS, I suspect it's a 'virus weapon' developed by Huaguo. ”

“……。 ”

Computer experts were helpless in the face of the current situation, and one by one they reported the results of their research with helpless faces.

Listening to the words of the technical experts, and my words, describing the powerlessness of the current predicament, the leaders in charge changed their faces together.

"The problem is so serious that it must be reported to the White House right away. ”

The thought that the nation's aviation business would cease indefinitely changed the face of the executive.

——————

HSD-White House, after hanging up Zhou Xing's phone, Federal President Reirus was still angry.

The reason why the situation of the US Federation has become so difficult is caused by Zhou Xing alone, he is the culprit, and now, he is arrogantly threatening a president, which is simply lawless.

If Zhou Xing can be captured alive, he must be tortured severely, and Federal President Reluth is full of anger with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Da, da" A rush of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Karina went and returned, trotting into the office with an anxious look on her face.

"What's going on?, General Ston, please come over?" asked President Reluth, looking at a panicked Karina.

"Mr. President, the general is on his way, but the NYSE and the airlines are in big trouble. Karina looked at President Reirus with a solemn look on her face, and reported.

"What's the big trouble?" said President Rerus, with a bad feeling in his heart.

Similarly, the flight command system of all domestic airlines was invaded by an unknown virus, resulting in the inability of all flights in the country to take off normally, and the relevant technical experts unanimously judged that this problem could not be solved in a short time. Karina watched President Reluth introduce herself, and handed over a report document.

Hearing this, President Reluth's face turned pale, and he took the document and flipped through it quickly.

"It's him, it has to be him, damn bastard, FK, FK,......。 Halfway through the presidential papers, Reluth suddenly jumped up from his chair and cursed frantically.

Karina took a few steps back, her face terrified as she watched in horror as President Reruth went berserk in hysterical rage.

Karina knew that President Reluth was referring to Zhou Xing, because not long after they ended the call, big trouble happened between the New York Stock Exchange and the space company.

After venting for a while, President Reruth quickly regained his composure, and now solving the problem is the most important thing.

"Has General Ston arrived? President Reruth looked at Karina and urged.

"Understood, I'll rush him. Karina nodded in response, and couldn't wait to turn away.

President Reluth sat back in his chair and closed his eyes tiredly, he was frightened by the troubles of the New York Stock Exchange and the space company, since Zhou Xing could hack into so many places at the same time through the network, he invaded the Department of Defense, the Security Agency, and the power company,...... , I'm afraid it's not that difficult!

What to do?

How to solve this kind of enemy that cannot be killed or defeated, but is very deadly?

Federal President Reirus is powerless like never before.

"Mr. President, the general has arrived. Karina led General Ston into the office.

"Hmm!" President Ryros opened his eyes, looked at General Ston with a solemn face, and asked, "General, you know everything, right?"

"Well, Miss Karina told me that there is a problem with the New York Stock Exchange and the airlines. General Ston nodded.

"Well, before they had a problem, I spoke to Zhou Xing, and he asked us to stop the action against him. President Reruth said.

Hearing this, General Stone's face changed: "How is it possible, my plan of action has just begun,...... , how did he do it, hacking so many of our institutions at once. ”

"I don't know, but he did!" President Ryros looked at General Ston with a complicated expression, and ordered, "Stop the operation and let them evacuate immediately." ”

"Understood, Mr. President. General Stone's face darkened, and he nodded helplessly.

This operation was learned by Zhou Xing in advance, and there was no possibility of success, if he was angered again, according to the strength of his counterattack, they would always suffer.

"General, our weakness has been completely exposed at the enemy's guns, and now the first problem is to solve the problem of defense. President Reruth looked at General Ston with a solemn expression and reminded.

General Ston nodded, his face darkening.

The New York Stock Exchange is the economic lifeblood of the Federation, and shipping and transportation are the wings of the Federation,...... , and other important facilities, the defense force is nothing, he can come and go, he can't resist at all.

Since the birth of the Internet, it has been constantly subverting human society, and in the Internet era, the ubiquitous network has infiltrated all aspects of human work and life, in shopping malls, restaurants, buses, ...... As long as there are people, there is the existence of the Internet, which has penetrated into all fields of human social activities.

The impact of the Internet on human society is incomparably huge, if there is a problem with the national Internet, the loss in the field of e-commerce alone is as high as 8 billion US dollars per day, if the scope is extended to other fields, this figure will be an earth-shattering number, and the country's comprehensive national strength may regress to the sixties and seventies of the last century.

Internet security is too lethal to allow 'enemies' to invade so easily.

————-

Anyang, Tang's Villa, four robbers waiting for their prey to come to the door, suddenly received an order not to hurt the hostages and retreat urgently.

They did not hesitate and decisively evacuated the Tang Clan.

Xingyao Group Headquarters, Laboratory.

Zhou Xiaozhi excitedly reported to Zhou Xing: "Boss, they withdrew, I found them." ”

"It's good, the internet blockade over there has been removed. Zhou Xing nodded with satisfaction and ordered Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded in response.

After a pause, Zhou Xiaozhi reminded Zhou Xingdao: "Boss, they got in the car, are you still following them?"

Zhou Xing glanced at the holographic screen and ordered: "Trap them, hand them over to the state to deal with, arrange a convoy, and I will go to Anyang." ”

"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi happily agreed.

In the sky near Tang's Villa, two Shadow Dancers that had just taken off suddenly hovered and came to a standstill halfway through.

"What's going on? Why didn't the car move? ”

"It's not good, we exposed, this car is a product of Xingyao Group. ”

"Farke, damn the Star Group, actually left the back door in the car. ”

“……。 ”

Four battle-hardened soldiers were insulting in the car, trapped in the car helpless, and they were now at a height of 100 meters, even if they smashed the car door, they could not escape.
