ICANN is an international not-for-profit organization headquartered in California, USA, which manages thirteen root servers around the world.

As the body that runs the root server, ICANN can also be seen as a powerful organization that holds the lifeblood of the Internet to some extent.

More than a decade ago, during the Iraq War, the U.S. government used its manipulation of the ICANN organization to block Iraq's top-level domains, causing Iraq to evaporate from the virtual world.

The power of the root server over the network is evident.

Although it has long been no secret that the M root server is in Tokyo, the more detailed location is unknown, and it is far from being available to ordinary people.

When Lin Han first arrived in Tokyo, he carefully explored the underground information of Tokyo and found many hidden places, including the basement of the Prime Minister's official residence.

Among these hidden places, the one that impressed him the most was a huge basement located under a residential area in Edogawa Ward.

This basement, both in scale and secrecy, is far beyond ordinary secrets, and at first glance it is a hidden mystery.

Lin Han deduced a little, and guessed that it was the legendary M-root server placement secret, the center of the Asian Internet.

So he made up his mind and was going to use this big killer weapon to secretly do something on the Japanese Internet.

After all, as the backbone of the Internet, there is so much more that the root server can do.

Whether it is lifting the current restriction and blocking of whaling news in Japan, or accurately releasing earthquake information, it is a simple matter.

The most important point is that these operations based on the root server are difficult for others to detect unless they make a big move like the one in the Iraq war.

The biggest possibility is that some people think that they or their website have been attacked by some kind of network virus, but no matter how they diagnose and kill it, they can't find the so-called "virus".

As long as it is done correctly, maximum concealment and precision can be achieved.

Another example is the release of earthquake information, with the operation of the root server, Lin Han can also ensure that the people living near the epicenter can be notified at any time.

Especially at Northeastern University School of Medicine, the advantages will become more obvious.

Set up an earthquake notification page, and then point all web page visits on campus to that page at a specific time, and all devices on campus that are accessing the network will pop up an earthquake notification message.

For a university campus with frequent information flow and strong personnel organization and discipline, it is believed that as long as the earthquake is notified an hour before the earthquake, the evacuation work can be completed calmly.

As Japan has the most complete earthquake prevention measures, a 6.5-magnitude earthquake, even if the epicenter area is evacuated in advance, the casualties are enough to be minimized. A little diffusion of information can basically guarantee zero casualties.

In this way, it can not only complete the task, but also control the unnecessary dissemination of earthquake information to the greatest extent, so as to facilitate the follow-up operation in the financial market......

Looking at Yukawa Takazhang, Lin Han smiled slightly and said, "Professor Yukawa, how about we have a cooperation?"

Yukawa Takasho's face was still pale, he just looked at Lin Han and didn't speak for a long time.

"Rest assured, I just have some minor work and need the help of a root server to get it done. Lin Han said slowly.

"These efforts are all morally sound and do not cause disruption to the Internet. When you do that, you'll be paid 100 million yen. ”

I don't know if it's because of "morality", or because of the "100 million yen" reward, or for other reasons, Yukawa Takaaki, who has been silent for a long time, finally has a little change in his face.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with some hesitation, "What do you want to do with the M root server?"

Lin Han said: "Recently, the 'Blue Whale Rescue Whaling Ship' that has attracted widespread attention around the world, Professor Takaaki Yukawa must also know about it......

For some reasons that are not secret, this incident has not been widely reported by the mainstream media in Japan. The content on the Internet has also been restricted and blocked, resulting in Japanese people knowing little about the Blue Whale incident. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The first thing I want to do is to use the M root server to lift some of the current restrictions and blocking, so that more Japanese people know about it. ”

Yukawa Takasho frowned: "Why are you doing this? The whaling industry is led by the government and cannot be banned...... What's in it for you?"

Lin Han was noncommittal, but said to himself: "Also, I have a forecast information for the earthquake in hand. Somewhere in Japan in the near future, an earthquake of magnitude 6 or higher will occur......"

"Impossible!" Yukawa Takaaki said immediately, "There has never been a situation where an earthquake has been predicted in advance, and this is common knowledge that everyone in Japan knows!"

Lin Han said lightly: "How can you say that there is no, isn't Japan already able to predict the earthquake more than ten seconds in advance?"

Yukawa Takasho said coldly: "That is far from being a prediction, at most it can only be said to be an early warning." ”

"The longitudinal waves of an earthquake are slower than the transverse waves, and we only judge earthquakes by the longitudinal waves that reach the ground faster, so as to avoid more powerful shear waves. ”

Lin Han said: "Whether you believe it or not, I do have the information to predict earthquakes. If you release it, you will have zero civilian casualties. ”

Yukawa Takasho's face changed slightly: "In this case, you can't directly use the virus to invade the local network." You can even find the M root server, and it should be easy to hack into some civilian network equipment, right? Although you may be suspected of violating the law, as long as the earthquake information is true, no one will sue you, and even treat you as heroes. ”

Lin Han shook his head: "We don't need to be heroes here...... Virus intrusion cannot be accurately controlled, and it only creates unnecessary risks......"

Yukawa Takasho seemed to think of something, and his face changed: "Do you want to!"

Lin Han smiled: "That's right, it's foreign exchange, of course, it also includes some related stocks and the like." ”

"I don't need to say much about knowing in advance how much profit a strong earthquake can create. He looked at Takaaki Yukawa and said.

"At that time, besides us, Professor Takaaki Yukawa, you are also one of the few people in the world who knows the time of the earthquake in advance. ”

"As long as you want...... A small step forward is a giant leap for wealth. ”
