Chapter 450: Lure the snake out of the hole
Of course, Yue Jiafeng did not ask Ning Chen about the inside story of this matter. Since Ning Chen did not want to discuss this matter, there must be Ning Chen's own reasons.
"Ning Chen, you have successfully solved this crisis as you promised before. Your technology is really amazing. I have no idea how you did this. Everything."
Song Xiyun whispered in Ning Chen's ear, expressing her sigh.
Song Xiyun was naturally very curious about how Ning Chen did this, but Song Xiyun would not make in-depth inquiries about it. As for whether Ning Chen planned to explain this matter, It all depends on Ning Chen's own thoughts.
Faced with Song Xiyun’s question, Ning Chen replied noncommittally:
“The process here is not easy to explain, but I have proved through this incident that I am capable of protecting myself and others. It’s safe. I don’t think there is any reason for those unnecessary worries to arise again.”
To Song Xiyun’s surprise, Ning Chen still didn’t directly explain how he did this. But despite this, Song Xiyun would not ask any more questions, because Ning Chen had already made herself feel reassured.
In fact, even Ning Chen himself still doesn’t fully know how this drone crisis was resolved, because all of this was due to Xiaozhi’s safety protection function.
Of course, Ning Chen must be the one who knows the situation best. Even Ning Chen basically understands the principle of Xiao Zhi’s actions this time. He just wants Ning Chen to completely copy Xiao Zhi. This action, and achieve exactly the same effect, Ning Chen probably still can't do it.
"Xiao Zhi's current ability... is really powerful and a bit scary. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to get this artificial intelligence. Otherwise, whether I can continue to survive in this world is still unknown."< br>
In addition to having the artificial intelligence Xiaozhi, Ning Chen’s careful training of Xiaozhi is also very important.
When Ning Chen was still almost "poor", he could spend a lot of money to buy the best equipment he could afford, just so that Xiaozhi could learn quickly, investing like this without any return. , but not everyone can do it.
As Xiaozhi gradually grew up, Ning Chen also replaced Xiaozhi with equipment with better configurations. Even for high-tech products such as quantum computers, Ning Chen was very relieved to let Xiaozhi go. Feel free to use it.
Fortunately, everything Ning Chen did was rewarded twice in the end, which made Ning Chen's efforts and resources not in vain.
But now the ability that Xiaozhi has shown is far from being measurable by money in the conventional sense, but has reached a point where it cannot be evaluated with money.
…………
Across the ocean, the FBI.
“Damn it... I really don’t understand. How on earth did they destroy all the drones we deployed?”
At this moment, in the conference room, The FBI members were dejectedly discussing this matter.
Originally, according to their plan, there was no intention for this drone operation to have any substantial attack effect, but this was only the first step of the entire plan.
Their real goal is to make Ningchen and Xingchen Technology pay a high price to deal with the attacks of these drones in this way. This is not only a drain on the financial strength of Xingchen Technology, but also A huge drain on their energy.
Because if things continue like this, people at Star Technology will worry about drones that are not far away from them almost all the time. After all, there is no safety protection technology that can achieve 100% safety. In this state of worry, there is a high probability that the construction of the space elevator will not be completed smoothly.
And this is just one of the FBI's plans. In fact, their more important idea is to use this method to confuse the people of Ning Chen and Xingchen Technology.
It is not easy to simply use drones to cause damage, so the FBI must use other methods to achieve their goals.
This method is to use this "drone crisis" to send people into the space elevator project to carry out their attacks at a closer distance.
It’s just that the way Xingchen Technology responded this time was far beyond what they expected, which completely confused them.
"Yes, sir, it seems that the actual defense capabilities of Star Technology are much more powerful than what they have publicly displayed. Should we give up on the subsequent plans, or wait until the opportunity comes later? Take action.”
Hearing the words “give up action”, some people obviously couldn’t sit still. After all, they have been dormant for many years and they definitely don’t want to give up easily. .
“Sir, I don’t think so. Although the actual response of Xingchen Technology to our drone operations is indeed very unexpected to us, this does not mean that their response is indeed very unexpected. Low cost. Perhaps the cost of using this new type of security protection system will be much higher than that of the previous generation security protection system..."
After hearing such a novel point of view, some people in the conference room did change their views.
Normally speaking, the cost of using electromagnetic wave signals should not be very high, at least it certainly cannot be compared with air defense missiles, because one is an invisible and intangible wave, and the other can be seen intuitively Entities, there seems to be no comparability of value between the two.
But in fact, in theory, such a view is indeed possible. For example, for some electromagnetic waves with extremely high power, it is indeed very costly to emit such electromagnetic waves. The electricity used is very high. The energy cost is even higher than that of many expensive weapons.
In addition, this defense method is likely to be targeted at interfering with drones. Even if the brands and specifications of these drones are the same, there are still subtle differences among them. This undoubtedly increases the difficulty and cost of interference. Even if the technology is mature, it is unlikely that there will be no consumption.
“Sir, I think we can continue to act according to the previous plan. This can further test the safety protection system of Xingchen Technology, and at least it will definitely have a certain impact on their space elevator plan. And in the follow-up actions, we can continue to increase the types and specifications of drones to see if they can really achieve customized electromagnetic signal interference..."
Listening to this man's thoughts, many people couldn't help but fall into deep thought. As this person said, although Xingchen Technology's response far exceeded their imagination, it does seem a bit too hasty to give up their follow-up actions now.
Anyway, they have prepared a very thorough plan, and the corresponding funds and materials have been prepared. No matter what, they will have to implement subsequent rounds of plans. If there is really no hope of success, it is not too late to give up the plan.
Therefore, this person's proposal was approved by more and more people, which also made the FBI chief inclined to follow this proposal and continue with the follow-up plan.
Finally, with the support of most people, the head of the FBI also made his decision.
"Okay! If everyone thinks this way, then we will decide to continue according to this plan! Next, let's see if Star Technology can expose some flaws because of this!"
... ...
On this day, Ning Chen and Yue Jiafeng were chatting together during their break from work.
"Academician Ning, I am very happy that the last drone incident did not have any substantial impact on our space elevator project. Our lives have become calmer again for a while, no. Do you know if this means that they will give up their subsequent actions..."
For this result, Yue Jiafeng is still very satisfied, and Yue Jiafeng also understands that this still needs to be done to a large extent. Thanks to Ning Chen's incredible way of coping.
In Yue Jiafeng's mind, it was precisely by relying on this "electromagnetic wave interference" technology that no one could fully understand, which was almost like a dimensionality reduction attack, that the organization completely lost hope of attacking the space elevator project. Can have to give up the subsequent attack plan.
In fact, Yue Jiafeng also feels that according to the development trend of this matter, there is really no need to be worried every day in the future. Just out of habitual safety considerations, Yue Jiafeng will definitely not really relax his vigilance. of.
Seeing that Ning Chen did not express any opinions on this matter, Yue Jiafeng continued to say:
"Academician Ning, according to our previous investigation, those drones The source has been found at several locations hundreds of kilometers away from us. These locations are all within the scope of Africa. But we don’t know what other forces are behind this. Don’t worry, Academician Ning, we will definitely continue. Investigating the initiator behind this..."
After hearing what Yue Jiafeng said, Ning Chen replied:
"Actually, we all know the approximate origin of the initiator behind this. Whoever can gain the greatest benefit from it is most likely to be the real culprit behind this. But there is not enough evidence. , We definitely can’t draw a definite conclusion directly.”
“Yes, Academician Ning, that’s true. And based on the current trend, we may not be able to draw any more clues.”
At this moment, Ning Chen suddenly shook his head and said:
"Academician Yue, I don’t think so. On the contrary, I think their attack may have just begun. . And I think we can deliberately create some loopholes so that the organization can take action freely and expose more valuable clues..."
Ning Chen's words gave Yue Jiafeng a It felt like a sudden enlightenment, because before that, all Yue Jiafeng had been thinking about was how to carry out safety protection work and ensure the safety of Ning Chen and other people in the project team. He would never consider such high-level actions as "deliberately selling flaws". Risky way.
However, after Yue Jiafeng saw Ning Chen's hidden strength, Yue Jiafeng also realized that many of his worries were unnecessary. Ning Chen was fully capable of handling these matters on his own, and he would handle them better than them. Out a lot.
Under such circumstances, you can indeed try to deliberately sell flaws in exchange for more valuable clues, so as to find the real ironclad evidence of this organization. This is also an option.
"Academician Ning, according to the current situation, I will also support your ideas. But now I don't know how we will implement this plan in detail."
"Don't worry. Well, Academician Yue, it won't be long before their second round of attacks will begin. We don't need to overdo it, we just need to basically follow the last counterattack method and sell some flaws. . As for the specific implementation of the plan, I will take care of it myself."
Seeing Ning Chen's confident look, Yue Jiafeng no longer worried about anything, so he decided to let Ning Chen continue. Deal with this matter.
"Okay, Academician Ning, I won't worry about these things anymore. Of course, if you need help, Academician Ning, you can continue to contact me at any time, and I will spare no effort to provide help."
At this moment, Ning Chen's expression suddenly changed again.
Having been with Ning Chen for so long, Yue Jiafeng has become accustomed to Ning Chen's special habits, and he knows that Ning Chen must be thinking about something again.
"Sure enough, the second wave of actions...is finally here!"
Just as Yue Jiafeng thought, Ning Chen was indeed thinking about some important things just now, because according to Xiao Xiaozhi’s latest reminder is that hundreds of kilometers away, Xiaozhi has detected the sudden movements of a large number of drones.
The drone's actions this time were very similar to last time. The source was still in several different locations, and the location was basically the same as last time.
The only difference is that the types and specifications of drones this time are no longer as monotonous as last time. Instead, there are various brands and models of drones. If we strictly If we define their models, there are even dozens of them, which can be said to be a huge variety.
Although Ning Chen has not yet completely determined the reason why they did this, Ning Chen feels that this is probably because they want to increase the difficulty for Xingchen Technology to deal with this drone attack. will adopt such an attack method.
