Chapter 244: Panic and the End

In a college dormitory, a group of shirtless boys are staring intently at a screen showing a video of a giant purple "robot" dismembering a monster.

The fierce picture of EVA vs. Apostle, coupled with the agitating BGM, is simply explosive and makes people orgasm in the skull.

That's right, these are wonderful clips of EVA battle videos released by skates, and the picture is more realistic than those AI rendered images.

The sense of strength of the punches to the flesh, the hand-to-hand combat with the explosion of blood and internal organs, the powerful and strange enemies, the unconventional methods of combat, and the explosions that destroy the world at every turn, all made these young people stunned, easily ignited their excessive hormones, and their blood boiled.

Finally, the scene ends with the backlit silhouettes of Shinji, Ayana, and Asuka EVA drivers, with the front hidden in the darkness and only the silhouette of the body visible.

"Damn, the first machine is so violent!"

"It's brutal, it's really fake, it's not going to be a promo for some kind of movie, right?"

A classmate wearing glasses said: "A long time ago, someone broke the news on the Internet about pictures of combat robots. Regarding the third Tokyo city of the island country, there were also a lot of candid videos of the battle before, but they were all long shots, the pictures were blurry, and a lot of information was blocked as soon as it was released, leaving only some fish that slipped through the net. It is said that the island country has been researching this giant combat robot for more than ten years, but I didn't expect such an unscientific thing to be so brutal in combat. ”

"yes, you can't blow it up!

"I usually pay attention to these things. The glasses classmate pushed the glasses legs, and his eyes were full of unconcealable fanaticism.

"This thing is really driven by a person, the driver is quite young, but unfortunately I can't see the face, it is said that he is underage. ”

"Only children born on the day of the second impact can drive, which means that they are only 15 years old!"

"This thing, how cool it is to be able to open it for me once!"

"It is said that the pain sensation of the injury to the body is synchronously fed back to the driver. ”

"Damn, that's inhumane. ”

"There are two women, this figure, tsk......"

"You're not paying attention, isn't it the end of the world?"

"Cut, whoever believes is stupid!"

"I believe it, whoever has a crush on me quickly confesses!"

"Get out!"

……

Not much information about the EVA and the driver has been revealed. Only a few wonderful videos of the battle were released, highlighting the bravery and sacrifice of the driver, and establishing a very positive image.

SEELE, however, has been portrayed as a stinking conspiracy. In the processing of skate blades, the Apostles were released by the Committee to harm all mankind, and through this method of "raising self-respect", he lobbied governments to set up a special service organization NERV, and injected funds into the development of EVA, a humanoid weapon.

On the surface, it is to deal with the apostles and protect all mankind. In fact, it is to carry out the completion ceremony and destroy all mankind.

Through this worm incident, billions of netizens around the world have been forced to do dozens of reading comprehension questions, and this hoax virus is very reasonable.

Someone tried brute force cracking, but the anti-cracking module was triggered, so all the data was destroyed, and there is no cracking software that can bypass this encryption mechanism.

Therefore, after knowing this situation, whether it is a senior government official or a business elite, the computer that stores important private information cannot be faked by others, and has to pinch his nose to read multiple choice questions.

After this battle, SEELE's sinister intentions spread all over the world in one day, and major media outlets followed up.

The result was so serious that panic spread rapidly in society, and citizens flocked to shopping malls and pharmacies to buy food, medicine and other necessities, with instant noodles, canned food, biscuits and drinking water being the most sought-after, and the shelves were swept away. There are even a few profiteers who take the opportunity to raise prices, and usually a bottle of water for one dollar can be sold for more than a dozen yuan, which is simply grabbing money.

There were even looting in some areas, and the resulting riots further spread panic, and various criminal activities also increased, and the law and order situation began to deteriorate.

Although most of the social elites with the ability to think independently can maintain their sanity, under the infection of the panic of the group, they can't help but panic and are coerced to grab shopping materials. The salt at home is running out, and the supermarket can't buy it, so why don't you grab it together?

However, the elite and high-level who really knew the truth were even more frightened than ever.

When this happened, governments immediately took forceful measures to refute rumors in their news reports. The doomsday talk is a prank by some hacker groups and is baseless nonsense.

The relevant information and remarks on the Internet disappeared completely within half a day. Even in the United States, which claims to be a beacon of freedom, search engines have blocked intelligence exposed by ice blades. In countries with strict network control, the competent authorities issued red-headed documents as soon as they were issued, and the principle of "preferring to kill mistakes rather than let them go" was brought into play by efficient self-censorship, and after arresting hundreds of group leaders who spread doomsday remarks, the illegal online speech was immediately emptied, and the entire network was silent. Individual dances are happy, and even listed as a typical please go to tea.

Kill chickens and monkeys to set an example.

A strong and powerful hand has firmly grasped the right to speak in the field of information and smoothed out all discordant winds.

China's major primary and secondary education units have launched a series of themed activities on the theme of "promoting science and opposing cults" and "not believing or spreading rumors......

However, there are still those who are not afraid of death, and several anonymous hacker groups claim that they are the research and development team behind the "Doomsday Worm" - ILLE, and are responsible for this incident.

This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself, and you must take advantage of it.

However, with the investment of resources at any cost by the state's violent organs, anonymous hacker organizations that usually flaunt their might in the online world have been dug up, the list of members has been leaked, and they have entered the bureau one by one.

Under the strong pressure of public opinion, as long as the government is willing to invest resources, there are very few cybercriminals who can slip through the net, but the gains outweigh the losses. Now in this special period, the master who has a little eye has already smashed the hard drive, how dare he show his head and be stabbed.

Although the rumors of the end of the world have subsided on the surface, there are undercurrents surging at the top of various countries.

In the capital of China, a meeting of the top leaders was urgently convened, and nine old people who were about to enter the ground sat together, looking at the thick reports in hand, their brows tightened, and their faces were very solemn.

"According to the top-secret information about SEELE published on the Internet, after verification by the intelligence department, most of the list of members who leaked state secrets is true, and some people have already absconded out of the country. ”

"The evidence is conclusive and indisputable, and the other side even sent out the evidence. ”

An old man's face turned red and said, "Even ambassadors abroad ...... Alas, what an international joke. None of these people can be spared!"

"That's certain, manpower has been arranged, and 247 people have been isolated and controlled at ...... cost."

However, the leaked list involves all the countries where the NERV branch is located, and I heard that the US Congress is also in chaos. ”

"What do you think about SEELE's organization's 'Human Completion Project' and the provenance of the apostles?"

"At present, there is no tangible evidence, and due to the limited information we have at hand, it is difficult to verify the leaked information in the case of information asymmetry, and it will take time to further unearth. The leaker has a clear purpose, trying to lead us against the evil villain...... As far as we know, SEELE is a long-established organization that dates back to the pre-founding ......"

For these thoughtful and shrewd old men, the practice of the ice blade deliberately fabricating the facts and desperately discrediting SEELE was still discovered. The so-called words of annihilation are too sensational.

However, SEELE's infiltration of state organs is not tolerated. Through the revelations of the ice blades, the top knew the seriousness of the problem. Therefore, the state apparatus has finally made up its mind to eradicate the cancer with practical actions and cut off all the peripheral organizations of SEELE.

After deciding on the tone of dealing with SEELE's remnants, the debate gradually shifted to the destructiveness of the virus.

"I'm more interested in the virus maker this time, the other party's signature is ille, and he can cause so much damage, comparable to the top cyber warfare team, so let the professionals introduce the situation. ”

At this time, a balding middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was ushered into the conference room. After greeting each other, he secretly took a deep breath and said with a serious expression: "After the analysis of the technical department, although the infection performance of the worm infection spreading around the world is the same, it is forced to let people answer the question after encrypting computer data, and only when the score meets the requirements can the key be decrypted through the Internet." However, we have collected as many as 1,874 samples and are still growing. This is clearly a highly targeted worm distributed through distributed AI. When it comes to a particular type of device, or even different versions of the same operating system, there are specific 'keys' for infiltration, and in a variety of ways, efficiently and professionally. It's clear that the developers have an extremely powerful library of zero-day vulnerabilities......"

An old man interrupted, "What is the skill level of the other party?"

The bald man pondered for a moment, and said with a gloomy face: "I'm ashamed, in terms of invasion and infiltration, the other party's level is far above ours. Those hoax worms are terrifying, and they have a certain intelligence in their own right, and they can break through the hardware firewall. After testing, this virus is enough to invade the banking and financial system, but the other party has made restrictions, so there are no cases of infection in the computers of the financial system so far. Moreover, it is not yet possible to trace the other party's AI main program, and that 'poison nest'-like existence is playing hide and seek with us on the global network, and we have forcibly blocked several large data centers, but still nothing has been found. ”

"In your opinion, Ille is a professional team, is it possible to be an individual?"

"It's impossible, with this level of complexity and intelligence, the workload of an individual is too small. ”

Just like today's professional fields, with the further deepening of research, the amount of knowledge and complexity continue to increase, and the cost of learning also rises. However, personal energy and time are limited, which determines that most of the modern high-tech talents have learned deeply in their fields, but they are not broad enough.

"How does the NERV division handle?"

"Let the military take over, they should be happy. ”

As a result, the NERV branch in Huaguo was first controlled by force, and the original staff had to be isolated and examined to confirm that there were no problems before making other arrangements.
