Chapter 216: Pressing Forward
The Ann consortium's counterattack was swift and deadly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The U.S. government wants to investigate intelligent systems? Quite well, they immediately reveal the shady scene: the truth is a conspiracy between the government and big business, and when legitimate competition fails, they use shady tricks to thwart it.
The incident exposed by the wiki mercilessly ripped off the fig leaf of the capital groups and politicians, let their embarrassed faces be displayed in front of the people, and made the cheeks of a large group of people hot and painful.
If the above incident is still excusable, there will be some patriots who think that the government is protecting domestic enterprises, although embarrassing, but the starting point is for the national interest, the following incident is unforgivable.
The information also confirmed that the government used loopholes to monitor the Internet, and hackers also used it to make illegal profits, and it has been confirmed that tens of millions of computer users' data and information have been stolen and can be purchased at any time on the dark web black market.
One of the hardest hit areas is in the United States.
Now Americans can't calm down, if the Prism Gate incident makes Americans start to worry about their privacy, then the current revelation is another heavy blow.
Not only is the government peeking, but it is also being stolen by hackers and their information is sold on the black market! The first two: Microsoft and the government, are miserable.
The scolding on the Internet and in reality has not stopped since that moment, and countless people have called for a boycott of the Windows system, protesting against the complete surveillance of citizens' privacy, and protesting against the government's actions.
As soon as people were so motivated, in major cities, New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, there were marches, and they began to take to the streets to hold signs and surround government buildings and parliaments to show their dissatisfaction.
Microsoft's stock price, which it has managed to maintain, is red again this time, and the murderous red color makes shareholders feel shocked, and if this turmoil does not pass, they are likely to fall.
"Why is there such a loophole?" Nadella was puzzled that after Snowden broke the news, Microsoft paid attention to this aspect and reduced its cooperation with the government.
It can be said that even Nadella is not aware that the Intelligence Agency still has officers who exploit system backdoors and vulnerabilities. Even if the government does this, even the hacker group has mastered it and made a profit?
You must know that the number of engineers at Microsoft, not to mention the world's first, but also the top, they can't find the vulnerabilities that they can't find alive and dead, can be easily mastered, and there is more than one?
That's a question that probably no one can answer – not including the hackers who exploited the vulnerability. This is completely intelligent for finding, this kind of first-level civilized software, in front of it is full of loopholes.
The faces of the directors of Microsoft were embarrassed again, and someone suggested: "Let's talk to the federal government and see how to solve the problem?" ”
"Get in touch with me." Nadella rubbed his temples, and a bunch of things happened one after another, making him wonder if it was a big mistake to go against Ann's Technology?
At least since the small victory at the beginning, they have been losing, and behind the scenes, the big eastern conglomerates that have promised to support them have not made much move.
What are they doing? I'm afraid Nadella won't understand that these behind-the-scenes supporters are also facing their own troubles, and it is difficult to parry in the face of the opponent's offensive.
Confused, Nadella reached out to the government to discuss how to get through the crisis...... At the same time, President Votel Voter and his cabinet are also struggling with how to deal with the scandal.
For Microsoft, there is no such thing as a perfect product, and the fault for the bugs is not entirely theirs. But for the government, deliberately using loopholes to monitor the Internet, they are condemned to this pot!
After the Prism Gate a few years ago and the current Revelation Gate, it is already clear to Americans and people in other countries that they have no secrets in front of the US intelligence system.
The first time it can be made small in the name of national security and anti-terrorism, but the second time it is even worse, and Wattle has a headache for this: "Can you use this reason?" ”
"Surveillance outside the U.S. is not a cause for concern, it has little impact on us; Silence is recommended for the population in the country, while emphasizing that it is aimed at acts related to counter-terrorism and national security. ”
"Let citizens know that we're not going to use their privacy, but we're only going to investigate matters involving national security?" ”
The Secretary of State nodded: "And we appropriately disclose some of the terrorist activities and acts that endanger national security that have been prevented as a result of this investigation, with the aim of keeping the people safe." ”
"Only non-U.S. persons outside the U.S. are subject to intense legal scrutiny to minimize the acquisition, retention, and dissemination of accidental information about U.S. persons," the intelligence chief added. ”
In a few words, the U.S. surveillance behavior has become a "noble act" that "harmless to Americans, but specifically to safeguard U.S. security."
Wattle agreed to this quibble approach: "Start doing it now, with as little movement as possible, and transition this crisis." ”
"What about the investigation of intelligent systems?" The intelligence chief asked.
"What's wrong again?" Wattle feels that there have been all worries lately, and none of them have reassured her, especially when it comes to Chinese companies.
"Now there are many people who are asking for the opening of intelligent systems to enter the US market, and the petition from the White House has exceeded five million people, and it is not recommended to stand on the opposite side of this matter, because the system cannot find a problem."
Wattle can't offend voters yet, and she still wants to get support and get re-election, so she nodded: "Hold things on for a while, and negotiate with Ann Technology to ask them to make concessions, and we will unblock." ”
With Waterl's character, she has to bite back even if she loses...... The chief of staff, who is familiar with her character, is in charge of the matter: "I will supervise it as soon as possible." ”
……
Ann's Technology will ultimately be the winner in this matter.
As for Microsoft, which is regarded as a victim, it can only mourn for it, but the offensive of the consortium will not stop.
As a foreign company, Anderson Technology needs to be cautious everywhere in the United States, but Brian Lynch, as a native American, and his American companies are much bolder.
Before the excitement of breaking the news has passed, the North American branch of the consortium represented by Lynch has quietly strengthened its cooperation with the California consortium, and even included the military industry.
Lockheed Martin, an arms company controlled by a Californian consortium and the manufacturer of the F-16, F-22 and F-35, recently secured a partnership for a drone program.
A considerable part of the technology was obtained from Australia and deliberately given by the Ann consortium, on the one hand, to seek close alliance, and on the other hand, to control.
Think about it, the Americans use their drone technology, as long as they deliberately leave a back door, once the war breaks out, the back door is activated, and the drone is theirs.
Of course, this kind of back door can not be easily detected, so the intelligent has specially redesigned the control system to ensure that it is hidden and cannot be removed.
After Loma got this technology, of course, he thought it was the support of his California consortium partners, and after testing, he found no problems, and he was still very advanced, so they used it.
The friendship between the California Consortium and the Ann Consortium has gone one step further. In addition, in order to better instigate the American people, Lynch also decided to start a commercial cooperation with a California consortium for nuclear fusion power generation.
The energy predators in the eastern United States are dragging, aren't they? They are joining forces with large conglomerates in the west to develop commercial fusion technology and promote the development of new energy vehicles.
This will be another heavy blow to the energy market, and the California consortium attaches great importance to it, and even gathers a large amount of political support, and the lobbying team and propaganda organizations are too numerous.
Wattel has a lot of plans for fusion power on her desk, and while there are many in the east who are unhappy with not being able to get a piece of the pie and are pressuring for the loss of traditional energy sources, she can't do anything about it.
The behind-the-scenes consortium is capable of swaying politics, but it does not have the ability to absolutely replace the government, and Waters does not dare to go against the laws of scientific and technological development to reject the commercialization of nuclear fusion.
In this way, she will definitely be impeached by parliament and will be ousted by the people...... So she had no choice but to sign and agree to the ambitious plans of the western gang.
With the federal government in place, regional state governments will have no easier time with the first fusion reactor expected to be built in California, with commercial operations expected in the next five years.
After sharing the vast benefits of nuclear fusion, Lynch's team became closer to politicians, as not everyone agreed with Waterl's hawkish approach.
Where there are hawks, there will be pigeons. faction, if there is radicalism, there will be conservatism. Wattle also has a bunch of political enemies waiting for her to make a fool of herself, and is waiting for an opportunity to fall into the hole for her again, and oppose her governance.
Anyan intends to support the forces opposing Votel, and American politics cannot be completely controlled by that crazy woman, otherwise a militant like her will sooner or later mess up the world. (To be continued.) )
