At this moment, Feng Xiang Tian was sitting in front of the computer with a triumphant smile, muttering to himself: "Finally completed the hacker competition, next thing to do is send out this screenshot."
Yes, Feng Xiaotian finally succeeded! He successfully invaded the "Fortress" supercomputer by controlling the voltage of the nuclear power plant. This behemoth, with a computing speed of 100 billion times per second, was completely vulnerable in the face of constantly changing voltages. If Feng Xiaotian couldn't infiltrate its internal systems, he might as well smash his head against the computer screen.
After invading the "Fortress" supercomputer, Feng Xiaotian immediately found the core folder inside, exactly as introduced in the hacker competition. The folder was empty, and when entering his network ID, he hesitated for a moment. Until now, he still didn't have an official network ID. After thinking for a while, he left a message on the folder: "Hello, I am God."
Feng Xiaotian knew that Westerners all believed in God, so he did this with a bit of a mischievous intention. After finishing this, he took a screenshot and saved it as proof of completing the hacking competition. Feng Xiaotian logged onto the website where the hacking competition information was posted and uploaded the screenshot. Then, he started browsing the internet casually.
From the time Wind Laughed at Heaven joined the hacker competition, until he succeeded, a total of more than four hours were spent. Before his last intrusion, he quietly waited for half an hour. This was to be on the safe side, as he wasn't sure if the opponent was still paying attention to the computer at all times. So he simply waited until the opponent relaxed before making his move. As expected, after waiting quietly for half an hour, he succeeded with one blow. As a hacker, Wind Laughed at Heaven felt that patience was very important. In front of the final victory, the half-hour wait was still worth it.
At the same time, other hackers were shocked to learn that someone had already succeeded after Feng Xiaotian released the screenshot. This result was a huge surprise for many hackers, especially those powerful hacker organizations such as Sun God, Fox and Hell, who all showed great shock at this result! Originally, these people thought they were the ones on the front line, but who could have imagined that someone had already succeeded?
Of course, there were three people who were shocked by this result. These three people were Satan, Angel and Vampire. They certainly knew what had happened to the North American Air Defense Command. As for Feng Xiang Tian's ability to complete the invasion even after the opponent's network was cut off, all three of them found it quite unbelievable! This also overturned their usual hacker view - no network connection could still be invaded, could this self-proclaimed God really be God?
Facing this screenshot, the US government seemed to be at a loss. General Leech had already reported the latest news to President Bush in the first instance. At that time, President Bush was holding a national security meeting. After hearing the news, he thought for a long time and finally chose to conceal the truth of the matter. If the American people knew that their country's nuclear system had made such a big mistake, what would they think? Should this president still be in office?
President Bush is a very ambitious man, the just-concluded Gulf War has inflated his confidence to an unprecedented level, he even has a sense of control over everything, he likes this feeling, so this matter must not be leaked out, in case it affects his image in the hearts of the American people, that would be bad, although the United States suffered some losses, but after all, the most core secrets were not leaked, the follow-up investigation of this matter can only be conducted secretly, and the incident itself is better not to be disclosed to the public.
Although President Bush thought so, some people would make him wish, for example, their arch-enemy Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was very familiar with the US "Sky Shield" plan. The KGB was not vegetarian. All kinds of news about the "Sky Shield" plan were presented to Soviet leader Lyudnikov in the first place. After learning the intelligence, Lyudnikov had also considered sending someone to make trouble, and even thought of breaking into the "fortress" to obtain the core secrets of the United States. However, the Soviet Union really didn't have much power in this area, so he had to give up.
After Feng Xiao Tian sent out the screenshot, Liu Ri Nuo quickly found out about it. Through thinking, he gave an order: "Immediately let our people spread the message on the internet and infinitely exaggerate this matter."
The Soviets did this just to disgust the Americans. It's always been like that between two superpowers, once they catch an opportunity, they won't stop until they've disgusted you to death.
At 4:35 pm US time, the Soviet side released the truth of "Operation Aurora" on the Internet. Of course, the message they sent out was artistically processed, simply put, it exaggerated the facts. This message was spread by people with ulterior motives and immediately caused a huge stir on the internet, which also triggered what the US media called the "Black March" hacker riot!
The first to react were not the US government, nor the American people, but rather the hacker organizations and individuals still participating in the hacking competition. After seeing the news, they quickly realized what was going on, until now, they finally knew that they had been thoroughly deceived. The so-called hacking competition turned out to be just a test by the US government!
So the large hacker community was immediately unhappy - what did the US government take us for? Experimental white mice or free laborers who help you voluntarily? Well, since you treat us like this, don't blame us for being impolite!
Hackers have taken action, attacking major US websites in groups. Once the website is breached, they will leave their own manifesto on the homepage, saying all sorts of things, and even asking about Bush's family.
Hackers had no way to super servers, but there are only a handful of institutions in the United States that have such powerful servers, except for a few computer giants and powerful government departments that were spared, other large companies were basically affected. Of course, there are some exceptions, such as several major US news media outlets, hackers wanted them to follow up on this story and let more American people know the truth, so they left them alone and did not attack their news websites.
President Bush was informed of the situation in a timely manner, and half an hour later, he had to come out hastily to make a speech. President Bush made a basic explanation of the matter and waved his arms strongly in front of the camera, saying: "The US government will not compromise with hackers! Anyone who wants to harm American interests will pay for their actions!"
After stepping down from the podium, President Bush reconvened a security meeting where he issued an icy command to the FBI: "Take swift action, no matter what the cost, to apprehend these lawless hackers! Especially the one codenamed 'God', he's the mastermind, we can't let him get away!"
