Chapter 67: 911
11 September 2001.
Two civilian airliners hijacked by terrorists crashed into the United States World Trade Center Tower One and Building Two respectively.
The two buildings that were hit collapsed one after the other as if they had been blasted in a directional manner.
The remaining five buildings were also damaged by the collapse.
At nine o'clock in the morning, another hijacked technology was crated at the Pentagon of the US Department of Defense in Washington, USA.
The moment the incident happened, the entire quiet and peaceful United States fell into grief.
Firefighters are heavily armed and go to the World Trade Center, which has collapsed into a sea of flames.
Countless weeping voices resounded throughout the American continent.
Almost all of the mobile phone networks in the United States were paralyzed in an instant.
It seems that all Americans have given up thinking at this moment, and just want to know as quickly as possible whether their distant relatives are safe and secure.
At a time when the mobile phone network is highly congested, a request for help from the Internet suddenly attracted the attention of the relevant departments.
It was a request for help from a little girl who said she was trapped in a remote corner on the third floor of One World Trade Center, the door was stuck, and she couldn't get out.
She asked for help, wanting someone to get her out.
When the relevant departments received the information forwarded by enthusiastic netizens, they immediately began rescue work.
In just forty-five minutes, they had rescued the little girl from the door that had been tightly jammed by the shapeshift.
This is also the first case after the terrorist attack to call for help and be successfully rescued.
At this time, someone suddenly wondered, why can the little girl's distress message be seen now that the entire telephone network has been down?
Originally...... The mobile phone used by the little girl is the latest smartphone on the market.
In addition to the ordinary telephone network, 10,000 smartphones also support a higher-speed auxiliary network.
The entire auxiliary network is directly connected to the entire Internet, so the whole little girl's distress signal bypasses the already congested telephone network and is transmitted through the Internet.
Coincidentally.
Soon, enthusiastic netizens received a second distress signal.
The person who asked for help this time was an adult, and this adult was trapped in a higher place.
Although the rescue is still difficult, no matter what, the people here remember one thing, that is, the mobile phones of Wanhu are safe.
Of course, the mobile phone that really shines is not the mobile phone of Wanhu. Rather, the presidents of the United States are useful BlackBerry.
The BlackBerry was a high-end commercial phone from the very beginning.
It has built its own mail system to reduce latency and allow users to deliver emails faster.
You know, in many industries, speed is money, and speed is everything.
And now, this independent system is the same as the independent system of Wanhu. It also avoided the busy U.S. telephone network, and the speed at which information was delivered was faster.
Compared with the mobile phones used by the people, the BlackBerry, a mobile phone used by the president, is easier for people to remember.
However, the sale of BlackBerry phones is only for business users, that is, if an individual wants to buy a BlackBerry phone, it is very, very cumbersome.
Therefore, when business users are ordering BlackBerry phones from BlackBerry on a large scale from the Canadian company.
A large number of individual users have been pushed down on this side of 10,000 mobile phones.
To be honest, Wanhu's mobile phone is a little strange.
In a traditional mobile phone, at least half of the body is full of buttons.
A mobile phone like the BlackBerry, which emphasizes input speed, even crammed the full keyboard into a small mobile phone.
In comparison, there is only one physical button that can be pressed on the front of Wanhu's mobile phone. All the angles of the whole fuselage are counted around, and there are only five buttons.
Instead, a separate module with more buttons is included, but that module is more of an extension of the controller.
Many people of some ages, because of the need for communication, after buying 10,000 mobile phones, find that they are not very accustomed to using them.
It's a bit weird to type on glass.
Still, they liked the large screen and the design that automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen according to the ambient light.
And Wanhu not only has to accept the joy of soaring sales, but also has to bear the pain of soaring sales.
You know, whether it's Wanhu's communication system or BlackBerry's email system.
It is impossible to talk about safety or high technology, and the reason why it can be used at this point in time is simply because there are few people who use it.
You must know that the original mobile phone system in the United States can solve the concurrency demand may be 5 million.
That is, five million people are calling at the same time, and there is no problem with this system.
But what about after 911?
Maybe 10 million, 20 million, 30 million people are talking on the phone together, which is beyond the design ceiling in the eyes of concurrent demand.
And one of the strange things about people is that if the phone gets through, they don't keep trying.
If you can't get through, you'll keep calling.
As a result, the demand for 30 million swelled again.
The whole mobile phone network is facing a very bad form.
In comparison, the 10,000-household network and the BlackBerry mail system, which are used by fewer people, seem to be more ancient.
It is possible to solve the communication needs very quickly.
However, the amount of concurrent demand that the two systems can accommodate on their own is not high.
Therefore, when Wanhu was selling mobile phones, they began to expand the system immediately.
A large number of enterprise-level servers are purchased and installed by 10,000 households.
It can be said that the small profit from selling mobile phones is far less than the expenditure of buying servers.
However, everything is worth it.
In the built-in instant chat software.
People can get rid of the congestion of the telephone network and communicate with people who use the same mobile phone and software in the distance as quickly as possible.
The reliable image of 10,000 mobile phones has been recognized in the entire United States and even the world in a short period of time, opening up the situation.
Nick, on the other hand, didn't have any surprised expressions about this.
He is not a conspiracy theory either, but on the day of September 10th, he also intends to have plans for a business trip.
Suddenly, however, he received a call from a high-ranking official with whom he had a close relationship, who told him not to make any air trips until mid-September.
As far as Nick knows, he's not the only one who has gotten such news.
In these days. Originally, the first class cabin could only be bought at the original price, but at most, the discount has been reduced to two percent.
While Nick was commanding, coordinating, dispatching all the organizations on the American side to deal with this crisis.
The official count of the victims has exceeded 1,000.
