I am a great scientist

Chapter 399 Network Blockade
Wall Street, the name of a street in southern Manhattan, not more than a mile long and only 11 meters wide, is home to some of the major financial institutions of the United States.

There are old skyscrapers on both sides of this street. Financial institutions such as the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank, as well as the headquarters of large companies such as banks, insurance, railways, and shipping established by Rockefeller, Morgan, and DuPont, are concentrated on this street. The place where investment is highly concentrated is the financial center of the United States.

The daily trading volume of the Wall Street market reaches 13 trillion US dollars. What kind of concept is this? Which countries, institutions and individuals do these money belong to, and who is manipulating the money?It can be said that this place is a barometer of the global economy, and it is the reins for the US Federation to control the lifeline of the global economy.

Affected by the press conference of Shining Star Group, the overall trend of the Wall Street stock market is the same as yesterday, and it is still in a downward trend.

In the stock market, countless investors are staring at the market eagerly, hoping that the index will improve. During this period of time, they have suffered a lot. First, Shining Star Group released new products one after another, and then alien species invaded, causing huge economic damage. , casualties, and next, political conflict broke out between China and the United States, and the financial crisis swept the world. Under the successive blows, the global economy fell into a downturn. The Wall Street stock market returned to before liberation overnight. Compared with the peak period, the overall market value fell up 35%.

However, the problem did not end there. With the launch of Shining Star Group’s photonic computer and biological 3D printer, it suddenly overturned the electronics field, industrial manufacturing field, and the most important industries in human society.

All of a sudden, the global stock market fell into a crash again.

"What's going on? No one is trading?"

"What happened again? Why didn't the index move?
"No! My list has been submitted! Why is there no response."

"The situation is not right,..."

"..."

When the numbers on the big screen kept beating and suddenly stopped, the investors in the hall panicked all of a sudden, and their faces changed drastically and they yelled.

"Tesla sold 1.5 points below the market price, [-] lots, who will take over?"

"Qualcomm sold 3 points below the market price, 3 lots."

"Diodes is 11% below the market price, buying 10 lots, who has it?"

"..."

Panic spread in the trading hall, as if returning to the era without computers, panicked overdrafters shouted excitedly, looking for trading partners.

Computers play an irreplaceable role in stock trading, and once there is a systemic breakdown, it will be catastrophic.

Since the emergence of stock trading, at that time it was a large blackboard with chalked transaction prices, erased or filled in new prices, traders shouted through inquiries, and exchanged hands. With the development of computers, the number of stocks, transactions Way, kind, get great prosperity.

As soon as I returned to the pre-liberation period, all the investors on the scene were anxious. The number of stocks now is thousands of times higher than that of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This primitive trading method cannot work at all.

When Richard, chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, learned of the situation, his face suddenly changed.

Richard's eyes widened, and he asked the technical director - Dales anxiously: "Why? Why did this problem occur, and what is the situation now? Have you found it out?"

With a "swish", cold sweat broke out from Darth's forehead. The situation was very strange. The network connection was normal and the data exchange was normal. The displayed data is the same as the transaction data of the internal operating system. A powerful data force 'freezes' all transactions.

"Boss, our server seems to be infected with an 'unknown virus', and now all the data has stopped moving." Technology CEO - Dals explained with a pale face.

"Unknown virus, how is it possible! Our security system is independently designed by CyberArk, how could there be a virus?" Richard turned pale and asked in disbelief.

In order to maintain the stability of the trading system, the New York Stock Exchange has paid a huge price for this. It has done a lot of work in computer security, data security, special server systems, and cloud data storage backup. The entire market was paralyzed due to technical failures. is very rare.

"Boss, this virus is very powerful, and our backup server seems to be infected too." Technical CEO Dals looked at Richard with a confused face, and reported nervously.

"What? Something went wrong with the backup server? When will it be restored?" Richard asked with a dark face.

"This, this..." Dals looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

"Say it! What's going on?" Richard looked at Dales and asked angrily.

Facing Richard's cannibalistic gaze, Dales bit the bullet and explained: "Boss, I can't find the cause of this situation now, so I can't determine the recovery time of the trading system."

"What!" Richard was dumbfounded, and with a "snap", he jumped up on the chair angrily.

"Can't determine the recovery time? Are you going to stop the exchange from trading for an indefinite term?" Richard snarled, staring at Dales.

"Boss, the current situation is beyond my technical scope. I need technical support and top computer experts!" Dals said helplessly, looking at Richard with a look of despair.

Hearing this, Richard's face was full of anger and helplessness, Dals had said so, what else could he do besides support.

"Go out first! I'll find someone for you, and I'll report this to the president first." Richard angrily reprimanded Dals.

Hearing this, Dals left Richard's office as if he had been pardoned.

Coincidentally,

When the New York Stock Exchange stock market was suspended, the flight systems of major US airlines experienced major failures.

Passengers waiting to board their planes at major airports across the United States have received the unfortunate news that all flights are temporarily suspended for an indefinite period.

Headquartered in Chicago, United Airlines, the bosses gathered in the server room, staring at the computer screen with the computer experts, collectively showing a staring state.

"Boss, our flight command system has been invaded by an unknown virus. The intrusion method is terrible, and we can't find a way to crack it for now."

"Yes! The reset of the service system is invalid, the designated flight data is fixed, and the backup server is infected as soon as it is started. Fortunately, the data of the flight command system can run normally, otherwise it will be a big trouble."

"This situation is so weird! I don't know how it did it, Boss, I suspect it was a 'virus weapon' developed by Huaguo."

"..."

Facing the current situation, the computer experts were helpless, and reported the results of their research one by one with helplessness.

Hearing what the technical experts said to each other, and how they were powerless to deal with the immediate predicament, all the leaders in charge changed their faces.

"This issue is so serious that it must be reported to the White House immediately."

Thinking that the aviation business in the United States will be suspended indefinitely, the leader in charge changed his face.

------

HSD-White House, after hanging up Zhou Xing's phone call, Federal President-Rylus is still angry.

The reason why the situation of the United States Federation has become so difficult is caused by Zhou Xing alone. He is the chief culprit. Now, he is still arrogantly threatening a president, which is simply lawless.

If Zhou Xing can be captured alive, he must be severely tortured. Federal President Reluth's eyes are fierce and full of anger.

"Da, da" a sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

I saw that Kailinna went back and forth, trotting into the office with an extremely anxious expression on her face.

"What's going on? General Ston invited over?" President Reluth looked at the panic-stricken Karina and asked in puzzlement.

"Mr. President, the general is on his way, but both the New York Stock Exchange and the airline are in big trouble." Karina looked at President Reluth solemnly and reported.

"What's the big trouble?" President Reluth snapped, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"The New York Stock Exchange was invaded by an unknown virus, and a system failure occurred, making stock trading impossible. Similarly, the flight command systems of all domestic airlines were invaded by an unknown virus, causing all flights in the country to fail to take off normally. Relevant technical experts unanimously judged that this problem It can't be resolved in a short time." Kailinna looked at the introduction of President Rilus, and then handed over a report document.

Hearing this, President Reluth turned pale, took the document and flipped through it quickly.

"It's him, it must be him, damn bastard, FK, FK,..." President Reluth read halfway through the document, and suddenly jumped up from his chair, cursing crazily.

Kailinna took a few steps back with a look of horror on her face, watching President Reluth's hysteria in horror.

Karina knew that what President Ruelus said he was referring to was Zhou Xing, because not long after they finished talking, the big trouble happened to the New York Stock Exchange and the aerospace company.

After venting for a while, President Reluth quickly regained his composure, and now solving the problem is the most important thing.

"Is General Ston here? Tell him to come here quickly." President Reluth looked at Karina and urged.

"Understood, I'll go and urge him." Kailinna nodded and turned to leave impatiently.

President Reluth sat down on the chair and closed his eyes tiredly. He was frightened by the troubles encountered by the New York Stock Exchange and the aerospace company. Since Zhou Xing can invade so many places through the network at the same time, then he can hack into the Ministry of Defense, Security Bureau , power companies, ..., I am afraid it is not difficult!

How to do?
How to deal with such a deadly enemy that cannot be killed or defeated?

Federation President-Rylus is unprecedentedly weak.

"Mr. President, the general is here." Carina led General Ston into the office.

"Hmm!" President Reluth opened his eyes, looked at General Ston with a dignified face, and asked, "General, you already know it!"

"Well, Miss Karina told me that there are problems with both the New York Stock Exchange and the airline." General Ston nodded.

"Well, before they had a problem, I talked to Zhou Xing, and he asked us to stop our actions against him." President Rui Lusi introduced.

Hearing this, General Ston's complexion changed: "How is it possible, my action plan has just started..., how did he manage to invade so many of our institutions at once."

"I don't know! But he did it!" President Reluth looked at General Ston with a complex expression, and ordered: "Stop the operation and let them evacuate immediately."

"Understood, Mr. President." General Ston's complexion darkened, and he nodded helplessly.

Zhou Xing had learned about this action in advance, and there was no possibility of success. If he provoked him again, according to the strength of his counterattack, they would suffer the loss.

"General, our weakness has been completely exposed to the enemy's guns. The first priority now is to solve the problem of defense." President Reluth looked at General Ston solemnly and reminded.

General Ston nodded, his face became gloomy.

The New York Stock Exchange is the economic lifeline of the federation, and shipping and transportation are the wings of the federation. Since Zhou Xing can easily break through these two fields, similarly, the defense power of the national power, national network, ..., and other important facilities are all nothing , He came whenever he wanted, and left when he wanted to, and he couldn't resist at all.

Since the moment the Internet was born, it has continuously subverted human society. In the Internet age, the ubiquitous network has infiltrated all aspects of human work and life. In shopping malls, restaurants, buses... wherever there are people, there will be With the existence of the Internet, it has penetrated into all fields of human social activities.

The impact of the Internet on human society is ubiquitous. If there is a problem with the national Internet network, the losses suffered in the field of e-commerce alone will be as high as 80 billion U.S. dollars per day. If this scope is extended to other fields, this figure will be an astonishing number , the country's comprehensive national strength may go back to the 70s and [-]s.

The issue of Internet security is too fatal to allow 'enemies' to invade so easily.

-----
Anyang, Tang's Villa, four robbers who were waiting for their prey, suddenly received an order not to harm the hostages and to retreat urgently.

Without any hesitation, they decisively withdrew from Tang's Villa.

Shining Star Group headquarters, laboratory.

Zhou Xiaozhi excitedly reported to Zhou Xinghui: "Boss, they withdrew, I found them."

"Very good, remove the network blockade over there." Zhou Xing nodded with satisfaction, and ordered Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded in response.

After a pause, Zhou Xiaozhi reminded Zhou Xing: "Boss, they got in the car, are you still following them?"

Zhou Xing glanced at the holographic screen, and ordered: "Trap them, hand them over to the state, arrange a convoy, and I'll go to Anyang."

"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi readily complied.

In the sky near Tang's Villa, two shadow dancers that had just taken off suddenly stopped midway.

"What's the matter? Why doesn't the car move?"

"No, we've exposed it. This car is a product of Shining Star Group."

"Fake, damn Star Group, actually left a back door in the car."

"..."

Four experienced soldiers cursed in the car, trapped in the car helpless, they are now [-] meters in the air, even if they smashed the car door, they couldn't escape.
