Hadisty didn't stay in Los Angeles, flew straight to San Francisco, and then casually got into a taxi to Silicon Valley.

He then confronts a mysterious man who leads him to an office that is ostensibly indistinguishable from the other offices in the building, but is actually an intelligence station hidden in the building.

The National Security Agency, abbreviated as NSA, is also known as the State Secrets Agency. It was separated from the then military department in 1952 under a secret order from Truman to strengthen intelligence communications and was the center of the U.S. intelligence agency.

The NSA is the world's largest single employer of PhDs in mathematics, computer science, and linguists, and is the most secretive intelligence agency in the United States.

Before the end of the Cold War, its operation was also a mystery, only a very few people knew the existence of the NSA, and even fewer people knew its function, so its abbreviation NSA, often jokingly called "NosuchAgency", did not have this bureau!

The NSA has stationary and mobile radio interception and location stations and centers around the world, including U.S. embassies in various countries, as well as NSA interception and decipherment equipment. Because of its excessive power and ability, this power can sometimes be abused, and some of the NSA's methods are no longer only to protect the security of the United States, but are often used in political and business espionage!

On the rooftops of U.S. embassies around the world, there are mysterious white box-like buildings, and that thing most likely belongs to the NSA, and it is very likely that it belongs to the NSA, and it is in the north of China's capital. Beijing's white box is the largest, I don't know why, maybe it's because China makes too many harassing phone calls to the United States!

As long as the Chinese are on the phone call to the United States. Mention "******" at the beginning, and say "true" again at the end. God bless" or whatever, it is estimated that the Americans' analytical equipment will be busy, and there is a lot of strength in numbers!

In fact, this is nothing, there are still legitimate spy military attaches in the embassies of various countries abroad, if China needs it. You can also get a red box on the roof of the Chinese embassy in the United States.

In fact, the key to the problem of surveillance is not these visible things, but the United States uses its absolute superiority in information technology, including software and hardware, to infiltrate and monitor various countries, and in this respect the United States has already led the world, and the world is operating in the system formulated by the United States, and this is the most terrible thing!

Therefore, the way out to crack the problem of US surveillance lies in developing its own information industry and replacing US equipment. Devices including software!

It was only after taking over the Qualcomm project that Hadesty learned about the specific work of the NSA.

John Berg asked him to talk about Johnson Lin's investment, and Hadesty learned that Qualcomm had strong technical capabilities in the field of high-tech communications.

After some understanding of Owen Jacobs and others, Hadisti realized that there was some problem here, Lin Johnson is a Chinese with a deep Chinese background, and Owen and others have previously cooperated with the U.S. government and the military, and Linkabit's business is to develop satellite encryption devices, especially Qualcomm is currently seeking a contract with the U.S. military.

The retired admiral immediately knew that Owen and the others had mastered the core key technologies of the United States. Moreover, it is very likely that the future will also be related to the communication security of the US side.

At this time, Lin Qiangsheng participated, although it was to invest in the newly founded company of Owen and others. But I can't say which of these technologies are related to key technologies at the level of secrecy, and who can guarantee that Lin Qiangsheng will not learn about the secrets of the United States through Qualcomm!

However, Hadisti also knows that these capitalists can get what they want through all kinds of means, and as long as it is legal in the United States, a strong PR team can always find a reasonable solution for these speculators!

He immediately contacted the director of the CIA, his good friend William Cassie. And William Cassie also attached great importance to this matter, but the CIA was greatly restricted in its domestic operations due to the impact of the Watergate scandal, so William Cassie brought in the National Security Agency, the intelligence agency behind the scenes.

The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) can issue a warrant through the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court, and after obtaining the authorization, the NSA can conduct surveillance investigations on U.S. citizens, companies, organizations, and institutions. The level of software and hardware of the Security Agency is also the highest among the US intelligence agencies, and the level of this mysterious agency is much higher than that of the CIA.

Soon, the NSA set up a special listening department for Lin Johnson and his subordinate groups, the purpose is to monitor the communication messages between Lin Johnson and his company, as well as intercept valuable information, this department also infiltrated the Lin Johnson Group, and the Americans have paid unprecedented attention to Lin Johnson and his industry!

The special department for Lin Johnson is stationed near the Eastern Star Semiconductor Company, and Silicon Valley itself is home to a concentration of high-tech companies from all over the world, and there are already listening stations set up by the US intelligence services here, and the electronic devices, listening equipment, and communication decipherment systems of the Security Service are the most advanced in the world, as long as they want to know, there must be a way to achieve it.

Unless these companies do not use telex and modern communication equipment, and only communicate with their hands and eyes, because NSA staff will need to rely on human power to obtain raw information about the activities of their subjects outside of surveillance.

"Hello Mr. Hadisti, welcome, please come in!" Tom Christo, the head of the security bureau's department for Lin Johnson, shook hands with Hadisti heartily and said.

"Hello, Christo!" After shaking hands, Hadisti saw that there were four or five intelligence officers in this office disguised as ordinary, and each person's desk was full of materials, and he said: "It seems that the NSA doesn't pay much attention to this Chinese entrepreneur, you are just a few people!" ”

Tom Crystal smiled and said to Hadisti: "Just call me Tom, in fact, we also have some field personnel, they are responsible for directly monitoring the target, these people you see are intelligence analysts, the headquarters still attaches great importance to this time, we have the best team of experts to cooperate with the operation!" ”

He invited Hadisti into his office, closed the door and said, "We're just getting started, and we're only getting started with a limited amount of stuff right now. ”

Hadisti asked, "Have you started listening, and what are you gaining?" ”

Tom nodded, he opened the curtain a little to reveal the blinds, pointed to a beautiful gray-and-white building in the distance, and said, "That is the largest real center of our listening object, and it is also the American headquarters of the Eastern Star Group, where most of all the semiconductor projects in Lin's industry are developed. There are pros and cons to such concentration, but it has reduced a lot of work for us, and as long as we succeed in breaking through this, the other party will basically have no defense against us! ”

Hadisti took the telescope that Tom handed him and looked at the ornate building with a bit of Spanish style, and now he could even see some of the scenes inside the building and the faces of the people.

Hadisti nodded and said, "Yes, you can see it very clearly here!" ”

Tom said: "We can directly observe some of the things in that building, the people who are recording it, and what kind of important people are coming!" At the same time, we also listened to its communication signals, and we also have the most advanced equipment and cryptographic experts to help decipher the various encrypted communication messages of the other party! ”

He confidently said to Hadisti: "Although we have just started our work, we have already heard a lot of useful information!" ”

"What is it?" Hadisti closed the curtain and said to Tom.

Tom said to Hadisti, who had a stern face: "This monopoly man is not simple, he at least has a strong team of communication encryption technology, our deciphering experts have worked a lot hard, but they have successfully cracked some of them, and now this Chinese American has focused on the research and development of semiconductors on digital mobile technology, and it seems that there is something new!" ”

Hadisti then asked: "Is there nothing else, such as what confidential information did this person pass on to China, or what key technical information, or smuggled precision instruments into China?" ”

Tom Crystal said helplessly: "General Hardy, after all, our department has only been established for less than a week, and we haven't found out about it yet, but as long as this Chinese dares to do this, we will definitely catch him!" ”

Hadisty nodded, opened the curtains to look at the gray-white gorgeous building, and said: "If you catch any of his tricks, I hope the NSA must arrest him immediately, the United States does not need such a person to exist!" ”

Tom Crystal knew that it would not be easy to arrest such a rich man who had a huge industry in the United States, but he still nodded and said: "General Hardy, I know where my duty lies, and the interests of the United States are higher than a qiē!" (To be continued.) )
