Chapter 61: Destructive Power

The unprecedented hacking of New York quickly spread throughout the world through various media such as the Internet, television, and radio, and the major media outlets around the world immediately began to report on the incident, and the Chinese media was no exception. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The CCTV news channel made an urgent report on the incident.

Zhang Wei, on the other hand, sat in front of the huge LCD TV and watched with relish.

At this time, a male reporter wearing glasses appeared on the television.

"Hello everyone, I'm CCTV reporter Zhou Haixiong, and I'm in the press conference room of the White House in Washington, D.C., where the U.S. government will hold an emergency press conference in three minutes. Present at the press conference were the President of the United States, the Secretary of State, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Director of the Department of Homeland Security~, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and other senior government officials.

It is reported that the reason why the US government held an emergency press conference this time was because New York City suffered an unprecedented hacker attack at 9:11 New York time, and in a very short period of time, all the computers, televisions, and other electronic devices connected to the Internet in New York City were paralyzed, and the damage caused was incalculable.

Please see the detailed report sent by our reporter in New York. ”

As soon as the screen turned, a female reporter appeared on the TV.

"Hello everyone, I'm CCTV reporter Li Cui, and I'm here to bring you live coverage on Wall Street in New York. At 9:11 a.m. today, New York City was hit by an unprecedented hacker attack, and all the computers, televisions and other electronic devices connected to the Internet in New York City were paralyzed, and all screens were displaying "hello, world!". In addition, those hacked computers were also implanted with malicious programs, and the data stored in the computers was completely shredded and could not be recovered.

Now, the whole of New York City is in a state of semi-paralysis, with most government agencies and businesses unable to carry out their work normally, traffic jams, convenience stores unable to check out, and small riots in some areas. In order to prevent further deterioration of law and order, New York City police have all patrolled the streets, and the New York State National Guard has also been deployed.

……”

Three minutes later, as the press conference officially began, the news footage returned to the White House press room.

Mr. President stood on the main ~ podium, with a solemn expression, and said in a calm and powerful voice,

"In 2001, our compatriots, our lives and the freedoms we cherish were deliberately attacked by terrorists, and thousands of people suddenly lost their precious lives to the despicable and criminal acts of terrorists.

After 18 years, at 9:11 a.m. today, we received a very serious terrorist attack again, this time, the terrorists used new methods, they extended from reality to the Internet, they used hacking methods to paralyze all the networked electronic devices in the entire New York City, the government and enterprises were basically unable to carry out their normal work, the financial system was paralyzed, the transportation system was paralyzed, the electronic system of hospitals was paralyzed, the trading system of the New York Stock Exchange was paralyzed, and New York Times Square was also occupied by "hello, world".

According to preliminary statistics, the incident caused more than $150 billion in direct economic losses and $600 billion in indirect economic losses to China, and seriously threatened the personal safety of New Yorkers.

Terrorists intend to lead our country to chaos and regression, but their plot will not succeed and our country remains strong. The great American people have been mobilized to defend their country, and their attacks can paralyze our networks, but they cannot shake our strong national foundations and dampen our resolve to defend our country.

In the immediate aftermath of the attack on New York, I ordered the implementation of the government's emergency relief plan, and the emergency operations team was able to get New York back on track in no time.

Finally, on behalf of the U.S. Government and the entire American people, I solemnly declare: We will send all intelligence agencies and police agencies to investigate this incident with all their might, find out the culprits of this evil incident, and bring them to justice.

As soon as Mr. President's words ended, reporters asked questions one after another.

"Your Excellency, which organization or country do you think will be responsible for this incident?"

"Your Excellency, what impact will this incident have on the future strategy of the United States?"

……

However, the president did not answer these questions and turned away.

This concludes the press conference!

Zhang Wei watched the entire press conference, pressed the remote control, and turned off the LCD TV.

He leaned back on the sofa, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, "No matter who you are, as long as you dare to attack me, you must be prepared to be retaliated by me, even if you are the United States that dominates the world." ”

In fact, he originally only hated Japan, and even had a little good impression of the United States, but after experiencing the Huajing incident, the United States has also become the object of his hatred, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely make some stumbling blocks for the United States.

However, although this retaliation has achieved a lot of results, it has also brought him great risks, and once the US government knows that he is behind this hacking incident, the consequences are unimaginable.

He carefully recalled the whole story, and then relaxed a little, as long as there was no accident, no one could find evidence to prove that he was behind the scenes, at most he was only listed as a target of suspicion, or even not suspected of him at all. And he is in China, under strict protection, as long as the Americans do not have evidence, there is no way to take him.

However, his anger has also been vented ~ a lot, and this revenge can be stopped.

He commanded Beidou, and in the next moment, the "hello, world!" on those electronic devices in New York City were all gone, but there was no way to recover the data stored in those computers.

At this time, Mr. President had just entered a huge office.

The director of the FBI, the director of the CIA, and the director of the Department of Homeland Security~ also followed, and in the office, there were more than three dozen other people, all of whom were top cybersecurity experts in the United States.

"How's the investigation going, gentlemen, have you found any clues about the terrorist?"

As soon as the president walked into the office, he couldn't wait to ask.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency. ”

A middle-aged man then stood up and said, "The terrorists are very technologically sophisticated, far surpassing us, and our colleagues have carefully studied many hacked computers in New York and have not found a single useful clue." However, I suspect that the terrorist is the mysterious hacker who made a splash on the Internet a few months ago. ”

"You're talking about the mysterious hacker who hacked Google, Facebook, and the CIA a a few months ago? Lawrence, the former director of the CIA, told me that they speculated that the mysterious hacker had an advanced artificial intelligence. ”

Mr. President's brow furrowed slightly.

"Yes, it's definitely him, and his AI is much more powerful than it was a few months ago. ”

The middle-aged man said, "Your Excellency, mature artificial intelligence is the supreme force on the network, we can't do anything about it, and it is impossible to find it, only artificial intelligence can fight against artificial intelligence." ”

At this time, Clark, the new director of the CIA, who was standing on the side, stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, regarding the last hacking incident, our technical experts found after careful investigation that the last hacking incident first appeared in China, so they suspect that the maker of the artificial intelligence is likely to be a Chinese, that is, this incident may also be manipulated by China behind the scenes." ”

"Suspicion alone is useless, after all, China is not one of those small countries that we are left to our grasp. Besides, it's also possible that the hacker deliberately misled us. ”

"However, we should also increase the pressure on China." ”
