Chapter 354 Scientific research is very accidental
On the other side of the ocean, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) headquarters.
"A big earthquake in the medical world? Is this paper so influential?"
Sitting behind the desk, he looked at the information in his hands and raised his eyebrows.
Nagy Pell, a senior intelligence officer, was once the deputy of the famous Secretary of State "Pinocchio".
In March 2018, he was just appointed as CIA director by the current president, becoming the top person in charge of the intelligence agency.
“Director, we have consulted several experts in this field, and they all gave this answer without exception.
Today’s changes in the medical sector are due to the capital behind this matter. Reaction.
I heard about pharmaceutical giants such as Roche, Pfizer, and Eli Lilly. The top executives of the government are furious and are convening an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the impact of this incident.
The NIH (National Institutes of Health) alone invested US$1 billion in related fields last year, which is equivalent to a total hit. This is enough to alarm the president
Several major media giants also have very good noses and have sent a large number of reporters.
If nothing else happens, this news will probably be exposed tomorrow. "
The deputy on the other side reported to Najib.
"WTF! 1 billion? This is all taxpayers' money!
Those damn cheaters should all be hauled away and shot! ”
Najib slapped the table.
Of course he doesn’t really care about taxpayers’ money, but he still needs to be politically correct.
"What is the Intelligence Analysis Group's impact assessment on this?" he asked.
“According to assessment, the sales of related special drugs such as Simufilam currently on the market may suffer a devastating blow, and the related medical sector will be dragged down.
In addition, Harvard Medical School not long ago The controversy over the cardiac stem cell paper has not yet completely subsided.
The successive academic scandals will greatly damage our country’s reputation in the biomedical field..."
Najib frowned.
"Well...go and send a message to let Those media should watch their mouths, try to minimize the impact of this incident, and maintain the international image of our medical holy land!
Let the fifth column in each country cooperate with us to clear the ground and eliminate the negative impact. "
"Well...the impact of this matter is too great, I'm afraid it can't be covered up. ”
"Then you won't beautify it from the side, such as praising our advanced and complete error correction system?"
"But... the person who corrected our errors this time is a Chinese..." The deputy's expression Weirdly.
"What?"
Naji was stunned for a moment, quickly turned over the information in his hand, and found that just as his subordinate said...
"Zheng Dalu... is long Qing Biology? Is this a Chinese company with a G letter? "
"No, it's completely unknown. The other party is just a small biotechnology company located in the Yangtze River Delta region with total assets of no more than 500 million US dollars, and it is privately owned.
According to our investigation, the other party's previous main products were Some OEM generic drugs can be said to be completely unknown.”
“$500 million...”
Najib couldn’t help but twitch his lips.
USD 500 million is probably the entry level for domestic pharmaceutical companies...
"You are trying to tell me that we spend more than 1 billion US dollars in investment every year, and there are so many Fortune 500 pharmaceutical giants who invest huge sums of money and work day and night to solve world-wide problems...
It is not even possible for an asset to be used The Chinese companies that we invest a fraction of every year have to solve it?
And they still do it in our face? "
The deputy said sarcastically.
"Director, as you know, scientific research is very accidental..."
"Yeah... that's true."
Najib looked helpless and seemed to be convinced by these words.
Looked at the information in his hand again, then raised his wrist to look at the time...
Hmm! Not confiscated yet.
So he picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hey! Nancy, long time no see... Nothing's wrong. I just have a situation that I need to report to the Speaker...
Yes! This is what happened... Well! This is very important for us to maintain the stability of the financial market. Unfavorable...
Okay...what? Play golf some other time? Of course, say hello to your husband for me."
The deputy just said that. Look at your eyes, nose and heart, and stand silently, pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Of course he could tell who his director was calling. After all, the "Capitol Stock Market God" is well-known...
However, there is no separation between politics and business, and the political arena is a revolving door.
Military industry executives go to be the Minister of Defense, oil executives go to be the Minister of Environmental Protection, Wall Street tycoons go to be the Minister of Finance...
If you want to get involved here, just follow the revolving door. You must not be used as a door-block...
Najib seemed to have done a natural thing, hung up the phone and continued to deal with the intelligence materials at hand.
"The captain of the Carnival, Baron Steve, was arrested by the Chinese police for smuggling cultural relics..."
He glanced at the information in his hand, and then looked at his deputy dissatisfied.
"Such a small matter needs to be put on my desk? Do you think I am too idle?"
"Director, of course this matter is nothing, but according to Britain's According to the intelligence coming from the side, the Chinese police cracked the password lock of the latest fruit machine in just one day!"
"Huh?" Najib frowned and immediately Suddenly.
“One day? Did the fruit side send an engineer over?
snort! This group of capitalists who bully the weak and fear the strong, usually act like big-tailed wolves when we ask them for help, but now it's better, in their territory, they actually tuck their tail between their legs and behave like humans? "
"Sorry, Director, as far as we know, Fruit has not received a request for assistance from the Chinese police at all. "
"Huh? No? "When Naji heard this, his expression finally became serious.
"Could it be just an accidental incident, for example, the other party actually knew the unlocking password of this fruit machine through other means? "
"We originally thought so too, so we didn't pay too much attention to it when we first received the news.
But a few days ago, two of our intelligence officers who were about to return home after completing their mission were suddenly arrested before boarding the plane.
Afterwards, we found that the fruit machine in their hands was probably cracked, and some of the files and communications were leaked...
Combining these two things, we have reason to suspect... China is likely to have mastered the unknown vulnerability of the latest fruit machine IOSX system! "
"What? "Najib raised his eyebrows.
"What did the fruit say? ”
"The Fruit Headquarters is also shocked by this and wants to test it out, but the Chinese side is very strict. We are already mobilizing manpower to investigate. I believe the results will be reported back soon."
"Well..."
Nagy frowned in thought.
This matter sounds big or small.
To put it simply, history has proven that sooner or later any loopholes will be exposed and then blocked.
As long as China uses this technology on a large scale, sooner or later, it will be able to spy on the other party's cracking method.
Looking more broadly, there are currently 900 million people around the world using fruit machines, including across the ocean...
This is undoubtedly an extremely large user group.
Any small problem, multiplied by such a huge number, will become a problem that must be paid attention to!
Even the fruit company itself is not aware of the loopholes. Once the other party really gets hold of it, it will be a big trouble for our own intelligence security...
Because it is not yet possible to assess how much hidden danger this vulnerability will bring to the security of mobile phones.
You can’t let your subordinates use Sanxin instead of fruits when they are on duty, right?
He pinched his eyebrows with a headache.
"It's China again! Even our CIA's technical department is still in the trial stage. How can it be possible with their technical level?"
Although the East has been slowly Countries regard themselves as all-round competitors, but information technology has always been their strength.
"This is indeed unbelievable. It is said that B-Se, which is making the fastest progress, has just made a breakthrough. It will take at least some time to crack it."
The deputy also nodded in agreement. , and then spread his hands helplessly.
"But as you know, scientific research is very accidental..."
Najib: "..."
Accidental! Another chance? Can any other explanation pop out of your mouth? !
"As a professional intelligence officer, do you want to shirk all unexplainable intelligence to probability theory?"
"Uh..."
Seeing the director giving him a bad look, The deputy saw sweat on his forehead and said quickly.
“Ahem! Of course, this accidental scientific research must be based on a strong technical foundation!
Director, as far as I know, China can have this kind of technology. There are only two or three industry giants.
And the biggest possibility... is probably the 'Chrysanthemum Factory'! "
Juchang...
Hearing this name, Najib narrowed his eyes slightly... (End of this chapter)
