Chapter 69: Global Threats

"They can do this, this is a fact without doubt, but in this regard, although our country is backward than the United States, but it is not the object of slaughter, in fact, every year the United States against our country financial network information system, transportation network information system, electric power network information system and other civilian network information facilities, as well as strategic military network information system attacks have never stopped, China abides by the principle of 'courtesy and exchange,' and the Americans do not really have the absolute upper hand. ”

"Considering that the losses of the Americans and the impact on the country are still above our country, and their technical strength does not meet this standard, it can basically be considered to rule out the global cyber attack carried out by the Americans, who have neither the technology nor the interests to offend the other 156 countries and regions. ”

Shi Liao said it easily, but unfortunately this conclusion makes people think more about the meaning behind it than the attack of the Americans...... It's chilling to think about.

Excluding the fact that it was the Americans who did it, then who else has such technical strength?

Somehow, Ke Yue suddenly remembered the joke of the man at the airport.

Someone suddenly raised his hand.

It was a man in the same suit as him, and he didn't look like a soldier.

Is he a member of a think tank like him?

"What questions do you have?"

Shi Liao stopped talking.

"Hello, Colonel Shi, I would like to ask, you say that the Americans cannot reach this kind of technological strength, so what is the basis for this technological strength? Is it really serious enough to reach the level of security that threatens the global human race?"

"Good question, please sit down first. ”

Shi Liao pondered for a moment and said slowly: "What do you think is the core of the modern country in the 21st century?"

Without waiting for anyone to answer, he said directly: "It is information, it is faster, better, and safer information!" This is the most important core of a modern country and a modern society, whether it is finance, economy, people's livelihood, transportation, electricity, resource allocation, education, intelligence, etc. Once this information platform is invaded and destroyed, we will not be able to carry out financial activities, the stock market will be shattered in an instant, the economy will regress, transportation and power transmission will be paralyzed, we will lose the light at night, the factories will all shut down, people will crowd the banks, but they can't withdraw a penny, mobile payments will all stop, even if we have money, we can't buy any materials, and the social environment will be on the verge of collapse in just a few days......"

"And this is just the beginning, our intelligence network is completely paralyzed, the air defense network is out of control, we know nothing about the outside world, just like a girl who takes off her clothes and walks in the slums of India at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, you can imagine what the consequences will be. ”

"According to the calculation and evaluation of the Foreign Cyber Warfare Intelligence Section in conjunction with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Peking University, and Tsinghua University, based on the data obtained so far, the network attack intensity involved in the '1030 incident' has been the most intense and incredible since the establishment of the Internet. The military network command system is equivalent to no defense, as long as this unknown force targets the ......"

Shi Liao looked around at everyone and saw that the faces of more than 20 people present were pale.

"China's economic losses will be more than 40 trillion yuan at the very least, and the greater possibility is that the economic system will collapse and the economy will go back 30 years. Of course, our infrastructure and factories are still there, but because the entire information system has been destroyed, it may take 10 years to restore and rebuild. But as I've said before, it's not that that's the most terrifying, it's the economic collapse that causes a whole society to shake up, and because the military network is similarly paralyzed, we can't accurately mobilize military units and deploy forces. ”

Needless to say, everyone knows the seriousness of this statement.

Not only could the riots that could not be suppressed internally, but the military precautions against the outside world were also ineffective. It can be said that this situation is ten times more terrible than the absence of China's nuclear arsenal.

"As I said before, China and the United States are 'courteous exchanges', if the Americans can do this, then their black president can once again cut most weapons, including F22, and even more than 600 billion US dollars in military spending, just because of this kind of network information technology suppression, they can dominate the world, but they obviously can't do this. ”

Ke Yue listened while quietly looking at the big screen next to him, and it could be seen that Shi Liao's words not only aroused the attention and nervousness of more than 20 people present, but also made the leaders on the other side of the screen also depressed.

"It's not just that they can't do that, there is not a single country in the world that can do that, so the problem we are facing now is that it's not just our own country that has been hit by this cyberattack, but 157 countries and territories around the world, including the United States. Therefore, as I said earlier, while China's national security is under major threats, there are also security threats to all human beings in the world. ”

Ke Yue could imagine the serious consequences of this incident.

Once this cyber attack is allowed to spread across the global Internet and turn into a devastating effect, then humanity may really have to go back to the era when there was no Internet. No, it should be worse than this.

A few decades ago, in the era when there was no Internet, the order of human beings still existed, and there were rules between countries that adapted to the times.

And now between countries, the whole rules and gameplay are completely different from those of a few decades ago, not to mention the military aspect, it can be said that even if the same weapon is used, the party with a modern information system can directly beat the enemy of the other side without a modern information system.

Relying on economic globalization and the collapse of the human economic system, all financial exchanges, information exchanges, and commodity exchanges in any country will be paralyzed, Ke Yue shuddered, not to mention other riots and wars, just talk about the lack of imported food, how many people will starve to death?

The only thing that seems to be fortunate is that most of the nuclear weapons of various countries are stored separately, and even a few nuclear weapons that are placed on silos and always refueled are quite complex and cannot be solved by a simple cyber intrusion.

Otherwise, this is all it takes to make the end of the world come early.
