Hongcheng General Office.

It is a magnificent building, a series of sprawling office towers. The four buildings on the periphery guard the middle one. Like the stars holding the moon.

There are no high-rise buildings in the entire surrounding area, and the huge courtyard isolates the rest of Hongcheng from the office office, making it a "paradise" in Hongcheng.

Hongcheng's high-level managers are all working here.

Every day, hundreds of official documents will float out of this building, which will deeply affect all walks of life in Hongcheng.

Like an invisible hand, it controls everything.

Normally, there are very few people coming in and out of here.

Only staff and a small number of senior executives had access to the site.

But today, as if something big had happened, countless vehicles were parked nearby, wanting to get in! The people in charge of mediating the traffic here are already busy, and the scene is chaotic.

Deep in the General Office.

The highest meeting room.

This is the most important place to decide the development of Hongcheng, and meetings are only held here when something very important happens, or when a key proposal is being made.

As a result, the room sometimes doesn't open once a year.

At this time, it was full of people!

The man sitting at the top of the conference table was none other than Pan Yao, the director of Hongcheng, the supreme controller of the entire Hongcheng and the person in charge of Hongcheng.

Pan Yao is a tall middle-aged man with a face that is not angry and arrogant. When people look at it, they can't help but feel awe.

Pan Yao's city is very profound, and he rarely makes expressions, and his joy and anger are invisible, making the people around him unpredictable. Even his longest-time colleagues could hardly guess what was going on in the man's mind.

Facing the warm atmosphere in the conference room, Pan Yao's temperament was still cold to iron, making people dare not approach.

Behind him, there is a huge relief.

The content of the relief is a map of the entire 31st arrondissement. Among them, the location of Hongcheng is prominently marked, like a red fire.

The content of this relief seems to hint at something about Pan Yao......

In the entire Hongcheng, there are a lot of rumors about Pan Yao. His identity is different from others, many politicians are from prominent families, but Pan Yao doesn't even know who his parents are.

No one knows what this man, who has lost his parents since he was a child, has gone through to get to where he is today.

But judging from Pan Yao's methods, he can deduce a little clue.

This man is ruthless in his work, and at the same time he is extremely decisive, once he has a conflict with someone, he will never keep his hand, and he must kill the other party. Many times his enemies were eliminated by Pan Yao before they realized anything.

Ruthless methods and extremely high ambition have supported Pan Yao step by step to where he is today.

Let him go from an orphan who can't go to school to a big hand who controls the entire Hongcheng.

And all this has only taken a few decades.

Turn your hands into clouds and cover your hands for rain!

This is Pan Yao's ability in Hongcheng.

He was able to make the whole of Hongcheng run according to his own heart. Anyone who dared to disobey him would be struck with a thunderous blow.

Pan Yao grasped the power in his hands very tightly, and did not give his competitors a chance at all. This is his ability to control the entire Hongcheng.

It is no exaggeration to say that everything in Hongcheng is in his thoughts.

At this time, the controller of Hongcheng was still calm, sitting on his huge office chair, as if sitting on a throne.

The door to the highest conference room was pushed open. A lot of clerks, with papers in their hands and the latest news, walked in.

If these people dare to do this in normal times, the position will definitely not be wanted.

Is it a casual entry into such an important top conference room?

But at this time, these employees can no longer care about so much.

Their officers, the directors of the various departments, were more anxious than the staff.

Something big has happened! Even since the establishment of Hongcheng, there has never been a major event.

Many subordinates from different departments rushed in with 100,000 urgent news like carp crossing the river, and then looked at the ugly faces of countless high-level executives in the conference room, as well as unlucky employees in the same position as them.

At this time, the atmosphere in the highest conference room was extremely depressing!

"Report!" Another staff member rushed in tremblingly, it was the first time he had walked into this highest conference room, and his whole body trembled a little: "Report sir, according to our statistics, the entire network in the lower city has completely collapsed. Alternate networks don't work. ”

"Colleagues in the lower city can only communicate with us by phone, and the official documents and documents transmitted on the Internet are not only lost! Losses unknown! ”

Hearing this news, the director in charge of the lower city district frowned deeply.

He sighed, didn't dare to speak, and looked at Pan Yao cautiously.

Pan Yao still looks like a mountain!

The director of the lower city district could only pretend not to see it, and whispered to the reporting officer, "I know." You go to the back and stand with the papers first. ”

"Yes!" The reporter stood up and saluted, turned and walked back.

Then he regretted it.

I shouldn't have come this time!

Behind the highest conference room. There were dozens of staff members standing neatly.

They all had urgent documents in their hands. Apparently reporting the network crash as much as I did.

I'm not special at all!

The clerk was devastatedly remorseful.

I thought it would be his credit to rush to report this major network crash! It can even be commended by the director.

For this reason, he also secretly rejoiced.

The result? There are dozens of people like him, and they are not special at all!

And, looking at the appearance of those colleagues, standing here in a daze, I don't know how long it took......

The clerk who reported the news, with a lot of ambition in his heart, fell directly, sighed secretly, and went to stand behind in despair.

And all this, Director Pan Yao saw it in his eyes, but he didn't react at all!

Like an iron statue.

Immediately afterwards, another director rushed in.

"Report Director! We have a very serious network failure here, and the network of the whole area has collapsed! The network of all students and teachers in the district who took online classes collapsed at the same time, I wonder if it is a problem with the education network? ”

This director is the Director of Education. Such a serious thing happened under his rule, of course, he had to report it to Pan Yao as soon as possible.

But what surprised him was that Pan Yao didn't react at all to the question he mentioned, as if he had known it a long time ago.

How is this possible!

The director looked back in surprise to find that almost all of the directors had already gathered.

Cyber Department, Director of Health, Director of Security......

As long as the director of the network is concerned, they are already sitting here.

On their faces, there is both the same anxiety as themselves, and a trace of helplessness!

The Commissioner of Education seems to understand something.

It seems that this cyber incident is not limited to students and teachers, as well as major schools.

More social facilities are also victims.

The Commissioner of Education suddenly woke up in his heart, and it proved that this matter was much more tense than he imagined!

"You sit down first, and wait for everyone to talk together."

Pan Yao finally spoke, his voice calm without a trace of fluctuation.

"Yes." The Director of Education did not dare to slack off and sat down among the other directors.

Before the Director of Education could take a minute's rest, a new Director arrived in a hurry.

This is the fire commissioner, and he looked at Pan Yao with awe and nervousness in his attitude.

The fire commissioner cautiously said: "Director, this incident of disconnection has caused several fires!" ”

His words surprised everyone else present.

How can a disconnected network still cause a fire?

There was also a rare hint of inquiry in Pan Yao's eyes.

The fire commissioner hurriedly explained: "These fires have appeared on the streets. Unmanned taxis were unable to contact headquarters because of the sudden loss of the network. Some taxis lost control and collided with other vehicles. ”

"Some hit the transformer. It not only caused a short circuit in the circuit, but also caused a fire. ”

"In just a few minutes, we've dealt with several fires."

Hearing his words, everyone present suddenly realized.

Internet facilities are one of the infrastructures of modern society, and the collapse of the network is not just as simple as people not being able to play games.

A large number of facilities will have a butterfly effect, leading to chaos at the social level.

Such a scenario could not have been imagined even by experienced administrators.

"I see, you go and sit down first." Pan Yao said lightly.

The fire chief apparently has something to say. But looking at Pan Yao's unquestionable attitude, he didn't dare to say anything, and cautiously came to his seat.

This is not the only case in the highest boardroom.

In the entire Hongcheng office, in all the rooms, the phone was bursting.

Phones from all walks of life are trying to contact them and ask them about the cause of the problem with the network equipment. There are also those who directly and unceremoniously question them.

To be honest, such a scene is a serious situation that has never occurred since Pan Yao took office.

The same is true for the Administrators present.

They know better than anyone else that if they don't solve these things quickly, the problems caused will be more serious if they drag on for a long time.

If there is really a serious accident, when the time comes, they will not say that their positions will be insecure, and it is possible that they will go directly to prison!

But in the face of the majestic Pan Yao, they could only obey and did not dare to do anything superfluous.

At the same time, Pan Yao's performance made everyone more in awe of Pan Yao, the director.

Sure enough, it's not an idle person!

This director, when such a major incident occurred, was able to calm down and maintain absolute calm.

Moreover, in the face of pressure from many sides, he was able to withstand all of them and keep all his subordinates still.

Such a bearing and behavior made the subordinates feel more awe-inspiring.

This kind of behavior and the ability of the royal majesty are definitely at the top level.

"It's almost here, aren't they?"

At this time, seeing that almost all the directors had come to the conference room, Pan Yao said lightly.

The directors were given a chance to speak, and hurriedly told how big things had happened in their jurisdiction, and asked to deal with their side first.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the whole conference room. I couldn't hear anyone's voice at all.

"One by one." Pan Yao said lightly, frowning.

Such a small act directly frightened all the directors into not daring to speak.

Pan Yao looked at the Commissioner of Education: "You speak first." ”

The other directors looked at the Director of Education. His affairs should be the least influential.

Because there is no scope of safety, there will be no serious consequences.

At most, a few classes will be postponed.

Sure enough, the director of education said a few innocuous words, which were basically complaints from parents and dissatisfaction from teachers.

Listening to his report, Pan Yao sneered and asked him to sit down.

The Commissioner for Education was already in a cold sweat.

He felt like he shouldn't have come today.

When I came here, I realized that the network facilities of the whole society had collapsed. There are many security facilities, and the severity is not comparable to his kind of thing.

He came to report at this time, not like he was here to help, but like he was here to make trouble!

The other directors also looked at him with a little unkindness.

The Director of Education can only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and he can't tell if he suffers.

How did he know that things would be so serious!

Next, the director of the [New Technology Division] is responsible for reporting.

This director took office urgently after the "Night City" was fully exposed. Although he has been in office for less than a month, everyone knows that the position has a bright future, and that the future prospects far exceed those of other administrators.

Even when Pan Yao looked at the director, his eyes were not so sharp.

"Tell me what's going on."

Pan Yao said lightly.

The director of the new technology department did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Director, colleagues, you must also know that everything in the cyber world depends on the Internet. ”

"This network crash has caused an unprecedented major accident."

"A large number of artificial intelligence robots that we are working on have fallen into a situation where they cannot move, and many of them are directly paralyzed in the streets, obstructing traffic and causing serious safety risks."

"In addition, considering that there are criminals who will take action against these paralyzed AI robots, we will also count these contents."

"According to incomplete statistics from our department. Losses in AI robotics are expected to be around $1 billion. ”

When the director of the new technology department said this, everyone in the room gasped.

A billion dollars lost just for the robot part?

Pan Yao frowned: "Is it so exaggerated?" ”

The director of the new technology department confidently said: "It's just a conservative estimate." The de facto losses will be even more. ”

Such a serious loss is really shocking.

And that's just the loss caused by one of these sectors.

In addition, many sectors have suffered even more serious losses.

And even the loss is not only money, but also lives!
