Under the operation of the engineers of the research institute, the most powerful computing machine in the history of mankind, Hercules-1, was connected to the Internet.

Lin Han thought for a while and said, "Hmm...... Let's hack an inactive account with Bitcoin first. ”

Although Bitcoin has gone through several ups and downs, it has not had the same momentum as it used to soar, but as the first blockchain digital currency, it still maintains a total market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, and the price of each bitcoin is as high as tens of thousands of yuan.

I think back then, when Lin Han was in college, he also learned about Bitcoin, but because he was too shy in his pocket, he finally forgot about it and left it behind.

As a result, a few years later, Bitcoin has skyrocketed, and the price has increased millions of times, making him beat his chest for a long time.

Just when he was hesitating to rush into the bitcoin market to make a wave, the price of bitcoin plummeted again, and a leader in the company who invested all his belongings in it almost jumped off the building, which made Lin Han feel a little scared, and finally gave up the idea of bitcoin.

Later, he founded Vientiane Group and quickly made a fortune, so much so that now he has more cash than the total market value of Bitcoin, so he doesn't care too much.

As a blockchain currency, the key to mining Bitcoin lies in the strength of computing power, and the stronger the computing power, the more Bitcoin can be mined.

There are "mining farms" around the world that specialize in mining bitcoin for a living, using a large number of computers to perform GPU calculations day and night, with huge energy consumption and once very impressive profits.

And there is no doubt that in front of the pre-era Herculus One, the computing power of the so-called "mine" and even the supercomputer is negligible.

Of course, Lin Han didn't plan to use Hercules to mine, after all, with the computing power of Hercules, he could completely mine the bitcoins in minutes, and such a big movement could be detected by fools.

The most feasible thing to do is undoubtedly to hack those inactive Bitcoin accounts.

When Bitcoin first came out, because the price was basically the price of cabbage, the outside world was not hot, and many people put it aside after digging hundreds or thousands, and then lost their passwords for various reasons and could never find them back.

In addition, Bitcoin itself is not regulated by law, so the bitcoins in these dead accounts are just banknotes falling on the ground for Hercules, whose computing power has crushed the world, don't do it in vain.

The operation interface of Herculesus is very rough, and those who don't know think it's an old computer from decades ago.

But from the moment the command is entered, the progress bar on the screen flies by, and just a few seconds later, the once unbreakable Bitcoin encryption system is easily torn and peeled off by the quantum computer, and it seems powerless.

In fact, not only dead accounts, but also some Bitcoin accounts were instantly cracked by Herculus.

After the program screening, all bitcoins in the eligible dead accounts will be transferred to an account under the name of Vientiane Capital.

It took a few seconds to transfer a total of 241,765.92630,009 bitcoins from the dead account, with a total value of nearly $2 billion.

In seconds, $2 billion!

"Go on, all blockchain currencies. Lin Han couldn't help but be a little excited.

In addition to Bitcoin, there are many other blockchain currencies on the market, with the same principle and large and small market capitalizations, including tens of billions of dollars or billions of dollars.

It took about five minutes for Herculus to crack all the blockchain currencies one by one, and the dead account currencies were all taken away.

Finally, according to real-time market statistics, the cumulative revenue reached 16.8 billion US dollars, exceeding the manufacturing cost of Hercules-1.

Payback in 5 minutes!

Although they had expected it for a long time, everyone couldn't help but be shocked and excited when they saw Herculus No. 1 completely abuse all blockchain currencies.

One engineer shuddered and pulled off his glasses, his tongue almost knotted: "The Internet will be our backyard." ”

Lin Han also calmed down for a while, and then instructed: "I need all the valuable information on the Internet, the governments of various countries, and the ...... of Internet companies Any passwords, important information that can be found on the Internet, must be cracked and recorded. ”

Quantum cryptography still exists only in laboratories, so unless it is a very small place that is physically isolated from the Internet, it is almost open and defenseless for Hercules-One.

Whether it is a personal computer or a supercomputer, and no matter how strong the encryption system it uses, it will not escape the power of the Hercules.

In short, Hercules didn't target anyone, it just wanted to say: everyone here...... It's all rubbish.

There is no doubt that internet speed is the only factor limiting Herculus One, and although it doesn't take much time to crack the code, the transmission of information is still a huge task.

So for the next few days, Hercules was pretty much downloading data—all the important confidential data that could be found on the internet.

Scientific research institutions, Internet companies, banks, government departments, root servers, ...... All passwords, technologies, important information, and capital data have been backed up by Hercules-One.

Now, as long as Lin Han is willing, it will not be a problem to take the entire Internet for himself.

In fact, he's already doing it.

The confidential technology copied by scientific research institutions is sent to Vientiane Laboratory for digestion and absorption as soon as possible, while the data of Internet companies and root servers are sent to Vientiane Information, and the bank information is sent to Vientiane Capital......

If nothing else, with God's perspective on the entire online world, Vientiane Capital's operation in the field of capital has rapidly evolved into the form of "taxation".

In other words, while other companies are speculating in stocks and foreign exchange, Vientiane Capital is collecting taxes from the world.

All-knowing information, computing power beyond the times, excellent quantum algorithms and artificial intelligence...... So that Vientiane can easily predict the market trend of almost all financial products, and can also take the initiative to intervene, control, and how to harvest, all according to their own wishes.

Of course, the sages said well that it is best to make a fortune in a muffled voice.

Therefore, despite the fact that it has gained extremely strong influence on the world economy, Vientiane Capital has kept a low profile, but has developed a series of strategies to regulate the global financial market, allowing itself to benefit an average of about $10,000 per second.

$10,000 a second, that's about $300 billion in a year. Counting the huge income of Vientiane Group in all walks of life, Vientiane's annual income is already comparable to the world's top 10 fiscal revenues.

In order to maintain the huge annual earnings of $300 billion, Vientiane Capital has dedicated 10% of the computing power of Hercules-One.

Although it is only 10%, this is still far more than the total computing power of the world outside of Hercules.

The rest is taken up by other subsidiaries, and about half of the computing resources left are basically used by the laboratory for scientific research such as computational chemistry.

In addition, 1% of the computing resources are used by Lin Han personally.
