Chapter 341 Want to crack it? Just ban it!
Relying on the vast network of contacts at his disposal and the convenience of his official position, the Secretary of State made one phone call after another!
Soon, he had gathered the most renowned network Engineers and hackers in the USA.
These people were all big names in the industry. In the field of cybersecurity, they were influential figures who could summon wind and rain. They had breached many seemingly impregnable network defenses of other countries, were well-known, and were the undisputed pillars of cybersecurity in the USA!
Because of this, the Secretary of State was full of confidence in this operation.
The Secretary of State stood at the front of the conference room, his gaze sweeping over these people with great satisfaction. Just as he was preparing to unfold his grand plans and deliver a passionate mobilization speech, he suddenly felt that something was wrong!
His brows knit together, and he muttered in confusion:
"Strange, why isn't Dr. Flander here?"
"He is an indispensable general here, where is he?"
Dr. Flander was renowned in the USA; everyone knew him. Starting as a hacker, he had honed incredible hacking skills through his near-obsessive study of computer code and his innate talent!
No matter how complex the network defense system was, he could always find the hidden flaws like a skilled magician and cleverly break through.
Relying on this powerful technology, he had conquered all the network experts and fellow hackers in the USA. Whenever they encountered a tricky problem, as long as it passed through his hands, it could always be solved. Over time, he became a legendary figure admired by everyone in this circle.
An expert named Dr. Watson, who knew the situation, cleared his throat, stood up, and replied:
"Mr. Secretary of State, Dr. Flander is busy with an important project and really cannot get away, so he couldn't come to participate this time."
"However, I think everyone present here is a top expert. If we work together, we will definitely be able to handle this matter well."
The Secretary of State listened to Dr. Watson's words, looked at the group of top experts before him, and pondered for a while!
Although it was a pity to be missing Dr. Flander, the strength of these elites gathered together could not be underestimated!
It should be doable.
So he cleared his throat and started the meeting!
With a wave of his hand, the big screen behind him instantly lit up, displaying the Realm World that was currently sweeping the globe and making people love and hate it at the same time!
Those realistic images and fantasy scenes, even just looking at them, made people want to explore them.
The Secretary of State cleared his throat, raised his voice, and continued:
"I invited you all here today for only one purpose."
As he spoke, he picked up a laser pointer from the table and pointed at the Realm World screen on the big screen:
"We hope you can help us crack the Dragon Kingdom's Realm!"
"You are all the most powerful hacker experts in our USA. You usually boast about how invincible your skills are and how you can walk sideways in the cyber world. Now is the time to show your true strength!"
"With so many of us gathered here, there is strength in numbers. I believe you can definitely crack it."
"At the very least, you must crack its anti-addiction system and plunge the Dragon Kingdom into a whirlpool of entertainment-to-death. By then, their country will be in chaos, and they won't have the heart to engage in any industrial development!"
"This is the President's intention, so this operation must only succeed and cannot fail. Everyone, cheer up!"
The Secretary of State spoke with full confidence, his eyes full of expectation. He swept his gaze over the experts' faces again and again, expecting to see them rubbing their hands and eager to try, just like before every important mission in the past.
But immediately after, he was a bit stunned!
He saw that these experts actually looked bewildered. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness and confusion, as if they had suddenly lost their backbone, pinning all their hopes for cracking it on others, completely devoid of their usual high spirits.
You must know, these people, especially those hackers, were usually quite arrogant. They walked with a swagger, thought they were the kings of the cyber world, and always believed their skills were the best in the world, with no problem being able to stump them.
The Secretary of State was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised, and he raised his voice to ask:
"What's going on? Give me a response!"
"For you, this shouldn't be a very difficult challenge, right!"
"After all, you are the elites who have waged cyber wars with the Dragon Kingdom's Security Bureau. Those seemingly impregnable defense lines in the past have all been breached by you. This small challenge shouldn't be difficult for you!"
"Why are you all like frosted eggplants now, wilted? Can you do it or not? Give me a straight answer!"
At this moment, Dr. Watson, who had been sitting silently in the corner, sighed helplessly, slowly stood up, and said with a bitter face:
"Dear Mr. Secretary of State, you may not understand the situation. I have tried to crack the Realm before, but unfortunately, the result was far beyond my expectations."
"The Artificial Intelligence built into the Realm is simply unimaginably powerful. It is like an extremely vigilant and wise guardian, not only building layers of impregnable protective walls that blocked all my attack paths, but also leaving me with absolutely no opportunity to exploit!"
"It even somehow found out my information in the Realm and, without a word, directly banned my nutrient pod!"
"Now, I can't even enter the Realm, so how can I talk about cracking it?"
After he said this, others echoed in agreement.
"My situation is exactly the same as Dr. Watson's; my nutrient pod was also banned!"
"I originally thought about pre-ordering a new Realm device, but now the waiting list is two years long. That means for two whole years, I won't be able to use the Realm!"
"I regret it so much now! Although the price of the nutrient pod is not expensive for us, the key is that there is no stock. Waiting for it every day with longing eyes is really torturous!"
"I even offered one million US dollars to buy a nutrient pod, but in the end, I still couldn't buy one!"
The other experts were shocked upon hearing their words. They widened their eyes, whispered to each other, and discussed, their voices filled with worry and fear.
"It seems we shouldn't try to crack it, otherwise our nutrient pods will also be banned!"
"Oh my god, if the nutrient pod is banned, what's the point of living? Might as well be dead!" Once addicted to this thing, suddenly being deprived of the right to use it, that feeling of heart-wrenching, like withdrawal symptoms, was really too terrifying.
Then, someone quickly raised their hand and shouted:
"Mr. Secretary of State, I want to withdraw from this project!"
"I don't want to take this risk. If my nutrient pod gets banned, I will really collapse."
"Me too, I firmly withdraw. I can't do this job!"
