Chapter 56: New York Power Outage
It took about 30 minutes for people to find out that the network was connecting. But it's still as slow as prehistoric centuries.
Network paralysis across the East Coast turned into network congestion. Everyone wants to squeeze online to see what's going on.
Fans of the game continue to play regardless of the situation. Professionals are anxious to continue to find the cause.
The aftershocks caused by this sudden and suddenly disappearing cyber disaster continue to spread.
In the secret warehouse, the AI war continues.
"Christina, don't underestimate Jarvis, it's also a super program close to artificial intelligence after all."
Sure enough, not long after Luke's words fell, Jarvis caused a small problem for Christina.
Jarvis invoked the giant Ark reactor downstairs in Stark Tower, using the sudden increase in computing power to gain a glimmer of respite, and then tried to counterattack Christina.
Christina laughed and said, "Don't worry~ Master!" Luke felt a little tsundere in this laughter.
When did the assistant learn to be tsundere?
Luke was curious.
In the face of Jarvis's counterattack, Christina's response strategy was simple and crude.
She directly called on electricity from all of New York City to confront Jarvis.
Thereupon......
Government offices, schools, office buildings, hospitals, Internet cafes, and all parts of the house were cut off at the same time.
All of a sudden, New York was plunged into a blackout.
Even the traffic lights went out. The road was a mess.
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are a complete mess. Complaining: What's wrong with this??
The President of the United States was furious: "This is a provocation against the American Chiguo!" I decided, send troops to Afghanistan! ”
"Fack!" Countless European emperors were also angry.
They went up and shipped it just after brushing it, but they didn't have time to pick it up......
"Master, the mission is complete." Christina reported to Luke at this point. She had erased all traces of the Magic Stones from the Internet.
This AI battle ended with her outright victory.
Jarvis was released by her. But she also erased all of Jarvis's information about the Magic Stone.
"Christina, thank you." Luke also breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"The will of the master is my mission~" Christina said with a grin.
……
Top floor of Stark Tower.
When power is gradually restored, Tony is answering Pepper's call.
"Tony, there's something big going on out there, the internet and power are all down. What's going on here? ”
"It's Jarvis who has a problem." Tony grimaced and said, "Someone hacked Jarvis." ”
"Oh! Oh, my God...... Are you okay? ”
"I'm fine. Pepper, did I bring what I asked you to take? Tony asked.
"Helicopters have just been sent. I'll go down to you. ”
Moments later, Pepper appears outside the lab door, swipes his card in, and sees Tony sitting in a swivel chair. She immediately stepped forward, however......
"Why is it so urgent to send a helicopter to deliver ...... Oh, my God! You, what's wrong with your face? Pepper saw the black veins on Tony's neck, which were about to crawl to his face, and immediately widened his eyes and exclaimed.
Tony picked up the package that Pepper had brought and quickly unwrapped it. While casually explaining a few words to Pepper.
Xiao Pepper raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "You are so deeply poisoned, why don't you tell me?!" ”
"Pepper ......"
"What is this? Is it medicine? Where did it come from? Is it safe? Pepper stared at the small bottle of potion that was contained in the package after it was opened.
Tony looked at the black liquid in the bottle, unsure, "Try it to find out." ”
"Oh, my god......" Pepper didn't know what to say.
Blood toxicity: 77%
Tony could already foresee that if he didn't find a solution or relief, he would die at any time.
By the time the toxin symptoms crept up on his head, he would surely die.
This thing in front of him was his only choice.
I saw Tony uncork the bottle, gritted his teeth, hesitated slightly, and then raised his head and drank the black potion in one gulp.
Then Tony grinned and his mouth was full of ...... Hey, it's strawberry-flavored!
It's not as bad as you might think.
The truth is, it's pretty good......
Tony even wondered if the other party was lying to him, could it be the juice bought on the side of the road?
Soon, though, he didn't think so.
A long-lost feeling of comfort, almost as the medicine went down his throat, this feeling also spread to every sweat pore on his body.
He was full of excitement: "Oh-"
Pepper was pleasantly surprised to find that the black veins in Tony's neck were receding visibly to the naked eye. The potion has worked!
"Great! This medicine has an effect. Pepper said with palpitations on her chest, and she felt scared for a while. She was really afraid that Tony would suddenly have three long and two short like he had just done.
Tony's heart was filled with surprise.
The efficacy was better than expected, no, far more than expected. He doesn't know much about biochemistry, but he also knows that if it can have this effect, it means that the technical content of this agent must be extremely high, and it can effectively fight palladium poisoning.
"The other party's technology ......" Tony couldn't help but envy and jealous of the apostle's technology again. Judging from the few that are known so far, it is far too much more than him.
The antidote from the magic box, the immediate detoxification effect made Tony's whole person look new at this time.
Tony retested the blood toxicity on the spot and it was 0.
But he knew that it had only alleviated his problem now, and as long as the Ark reactor in his chest still used palladium, he would still be poisoned again by the palladium overdose.
He needed a solution that would solve the problem once and for all.
At this moment, a familiar male voice with an emotionless British accent suddenly sounded in the laboratory: "Sir, you look much better." ”
Tony was overjoyed and immediately asked, "Jarvis, are you okay?" ”
"Sir, I don't know what you're referring to?" Jarvis replied.
Tony wondered, "Just now, someone was trying to hack into your data. ”
"Sorry, sir, I don't remember what just happened. There is no such record in the database. ”
Tony was confused.
Jarvis recovered, but forgot what had just happened?
He suddenly remembered something, and immediately said, "Call up all the research results of the Demon Brake Stone to me." ”
"Sorry, sir, couldn't find any results."
“……”
Tony immediately understood.
It seems that all this was done by the apostles. It was the Apostle who hacked Jarvis and deleted all the information about the results of the Magic Stone.
Tony, who figured this out, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He thought to himself: This is really the style of an apostle......
"Sir, I've detected an unusual heat source. It's near this room. Jarvis said suddenly.
Tony was stunned: "Where?" Help me figure it out. ”
After a moment, looking at a tiny device the size of a fingernail that was heating up in his hand, Tony placed it on the white lab table in confusion.
"What is this?" Pepper leaned over curiously.
"I don't know." Tony shook his head, "Jarvis, analyze it." ”
"It's already analyzing, sir." Jarvis quickly concluded: "This is an unknown data transfer bridging device. It is used for long-distance data theft and transmission. ”
Tony's face darkened, and he immediately thought of what had just happened.
"Why haven't you found out? Didn't find out until now? Tony asked, puzzled. It stands to reason that this kind of electronic device cannot escape Jarvis's detection.
