The power of nature is terrifying; sometimes, just a slight push from behind can trigger a chain reaction!
To give a very simple example, according to some declassified documents, the US's tactical thinking towards China a few years ago could have easily led to a direct war. So, the first target of US missiles wouldn't have been Tiananmen Square, nor Zhongnanhai, but... the Three Gorges Dam!
Similarly, let's not talk about China. Let's talk about the former Soviet Union. The Soviet slogan was, "I don't care how many missiles the US drops on Soviet territory. We only need to drop one...and that'll be San Francisco!"
Of course, an ordinary missile might not necessarily cause a powerful tectonic shift. However, this weakness has already been overcome by modern scientists. Therefore, if a third world war were to occur, it would mean the complete demise of humanity. Even if no one used nuclear weapons, but instead bombarded each other's earthquake zones, the Earth would undergo another large-scale tectonic shift.
Don't bring up things like the US having TMD or NMD; those things are practically useless in a war. Both China and the US now possess the capability to destroy satellites. In a real conflict, the first thing to do is take down your satellites; everyone's blind. But Chinese missile forces, without any high-tech positioning software, can launch missiles from Xi'an to Washington D.C. with a margin of error of no more than 2,000 kilometers through manual aiming!
How large are those earthquake zones? A single bombardment of the Earth would be enough to destroy it! Therefore, such methods are too vicious, so much so that the media nowadays dare not raise such arguments, but instead focus their anti-war attention on nuclear weapons.
However, SMMH claims that even small devices he placed could cause the earth's crust to explode, yet that might not even succeed! How could he possibly do that?
Also, how was he able to put that thing at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean?
But no one dared to doubt it.
Because they simply can't afford to gamble!
That SMMH is a complete lunatic! You can't reason with him! Okay, even if he's bragging, he has the credentials to back it up! If a little kid comes along and says he made a firecracker that can blow a hole in the Earth, you can call him an idiot, but if such a terrifying being says that, would you dare to just say he's bragging?!
The members of Organization X took a deep breath and discussed the matter for a long time before they realized that things could no longer continue as they were.
"Are you threatening us?!" This statement alone shows that their patience has reached a certain limit... After all, no one knows whether the thing that caused the earthquake actually exists. But just like when SMMH casually mentioned a satellite weapon, they were terrified. Looking back, that was truly a foolish move. Now he's spouting another empty threat; are they going to continue being intimidated?
After all, mobilizing the U.S. military is no small matter.
Organization X wanted to demonstrate its toughness at the appropriate time, as they felt they had made considerable progress in their "deification project" and were now qualified to cooperate with the other party instead of blindly obeying. They didn't intend to completely break ties with SMMH now, as the current club was merely a means for them to gain further benefits.
But Chen Xu had no idea they had such complicated thoughts! He responded bluntly, "Yes, you can take that statement as a threat! Or do you think I don't have the power to do so?!"
To be honest, Chen Xu got a little angry when he saw their question. Did they really think he was a pushover just because he wasn't showing his teeth?!
Am I threatening you?
Ha, then let me show you whether I have the strength to threaten you!
Chen Xu sent a document directly, the file name of which was "Design Drawings of High-Energy Directional Overclocked Crustal Bomb".
This blueprint is what Chen Xu mentioned before—the thing that could trigger crustal movement and cause an earthquake. Of course, he hid many crucial data points in the blueprint. Experts could definitely understand what it was, but to try and replicate it… well, impossible.
The key to this bomb lies in the word "overclocking," which utilizes the principle of resonance to achieve maximum effect with minimal effort. Since Chen Xu removed this aspect, even if they reconstruct a prototype based on the blueprints, it would only be an ordinary model. Furthermore, Chen Xu knew that there are many ways to attack the Earth's crust, methods that military powers have long mastered. Regardless of whether the method is clumsy or advanced, as long as it achieves its purpose, that's all that matters. His device doesn't have much inherent value.
"My organization and I have manufactured many terrible weapons for various reasons, but in the spirit of maintaining world peace, we have never made these inventions public. To put it bluntly, even the technology of the US military is somewhat inferior to ours! It seems we were wrong. An organization without military support has little weight in its words, and we must remain hidden in the shadows. After this incident, we need to strengthen our development and armed forces in this area."
That sentence really terrified the members of the X organization!
Just by looking at this blueprint, the weapons experts of the X organization realized almost instantly that the other side was not just talking nonsense, but that they really had the capability!
This bomb, which utilizes high-frequency resonance to directly affect the Earth's crust, demonstrates their formidable strength in various aspects!
So, the satellite weapon he mentioned earlier... is probably real.
This is blatant evidence!
At this moment, Chen Xu himself was also stunned.
Chen Xu was really angry just now. Although it can't be said that he was irrational when he typed these words, it was indeed after he had completely put himself into the role of SMMH.
At this moment, Chen Xu realized that what he said was indeed very reasonable!
If SMMH were a powerful tycoon with a vast empire and elite troops under his command, would he need to hide like this?
If something truly happened in space, destroying an area the size of the Korean Peninsula, then even if Chen Xu shouted to the world, "I am SMMH!", who would dare to touch him?!
But Chen Xu then laughed self-deprecatingly. How much manpower and resources would that require? This isn't something you can just easily accomplish with a blueprint! And it's a satellite weapon!
Chen Xu is rich; with his current wealth, building a satellite wouldn't be difficult for him. But who would he hire to do it?!
Some things you can't be too naive about!
However, Chen Xu also felt that he should start planning for the future now... To be honest, he was getting tired of this life of hiding!
However, this time, Chen Xu was lucky. After seeing this "overclocked crustal bomb," the X organization finally changed its mind... At least they knew that SMMH wasn't just fooling them, but really had the capability!
The next step is to hack into the US military system and issue orders...
Chapter 323 The Anal Sex Plan (Part 1)
December 28, 2007.
This day, just past Christmas and before New Year's Day, is destined to be recorded in history. Of course, for most ordinary people, this day is nothing special, but for the militaries of the world's major countries and hackers, this day is of extraordinary significance.
Hackers consider this day a "day of miracles," equivalent to Christmas in Western countries! The US military sees it as a day of shame, but also helplessly calls it "a miracle by one man."
Because after that day, the US military, which prides itself on its world-leading technology, was forced to reactivate a system that had been abandoned for many years.
Of course, many hackers only learned of this many years later. Fifty years later, on Chen Xu's seventieth birthday, the Pentagon released this document, which had been sealed for fifty years and considered a great humiliation by generations of American military personnel. But by then, people already knew that Chen Xu and SMMH were actually the same person, and given Chen Xu's status, prestige, and power at the time, no organization or country in the world could afford to provoke him. The document released by the Pentagon was merely icing on the cake for his legendary career.
However, after this information was released, countless people still believed that this was probably the most brilliant, domineering, and terrifying moment in Chen Xu's hacking career.
At this point, Chen Xu's actions were considered to be from the hacker side... because there were no longer any targets in the world worth targeting.
No one doubts that the SMMH is capable of hacking into US military systems and issuing orders… because it has done it once before. However, no one believes the SMMH can succeed!
If Chen Xu only said that he could hack into the US military system and deploy a few missiles... then indeed, he could do it! This is also what the X organization is most worried about!
Because many of the United States' ground-based missiles are already mounted on launchers, all that's needed is to set the position, enter the code, and press the confirmation button. The missile can then be launched!
This is theoretically something that can be solved entirely through hacking, especially since SMMH's hacking skills are beyond question.
But you should know this!
In this peaceful era, the number of missiles deployed is generally limited! Furthermore, missile range is very limited, as is their destructive power. To immediately deploy missiles to flatten the Twelve Golden Chrysanthemum base in this situation is simply unrealistic… Even during wartime, the US Tomahawk missiles couldn't claim they could completely wipe out Iraq; they would require ground troop support!
What Chen Xu needs to do is to eliminate the threat completely!
Otherwise, if a few escape, their assassins will keep coming, and we'll have no one to keep up with!
But do hackers have the ability to mobilize ground forces? They can't simply issue an order and immediately begin working.
Especially when carrying out military missions, and large-scale military missions at that!
Chen Xu could issue an attack order through the Pentagon, but such a sudden order would require repeated verification!
Will he be able to pass these verifications?
Even if he can hack into the Pentagon's military network, can he control everyone?
So when Chen Xu shared his thoughts, the members of Organization X couldn't help but think... this guy has gone mad!
Chen Xu wasn't crazy, and he knew he wasn't.
This is the only effective chance to instantly destroy the twelve-petaled golden chrysanthemum. He won't let it slip away so easily! As for how he'll do it? This time, Chen Xu is truly going to use all his and Xiao Min's abilities.
Chen Xu began his intrusion through the U.S. military's internal network.
With Xiaomin's help, Chen Xu's hacking skills are now superb. While US military networks are far more secure than civilian networks, there is no such thing as absolute security. From a technological perspective eighty years from now… this network is riddled with vulnerabilities!
Chen Xu obtained advanced privileges very easily. With Xiao Min's help, it all happened in just a few minutes.
Chen Xu felt that his current technology was even more powerful than that of the Transformers. The Decepticons possessed a virus capable of self-repairing and altering their structure, but that virus was so incredibly weak that it was easily detected by the US military.
Vulnerability!
If computer vulnerabilities are exploited, even a powerful organization like the US military would never be able to detect that Chen Xu had tampered with the system!
Of course, the US military's network is by no means that weak. If Xiaomin hadn't been so far ahead, even a top hacker could only break in at most, and basically wouldn't be able to do anything.
Because how much valuable and highly classified information is stored on the Pentagon's internal network?
The value of this information cannot be measured by worldly standards! Even the slightest leak of this information could cause a huge uproar!
Therefore, this system has very strict, almost demanding traffic monitoring tools, and many programmers even monitor it 24 hours a day!
All data exchanged within the internal network must pass through specific channels and be limited in size to ensure the maximum security of the entire network.
If hackers break in, they will inevitably generate unusual traffic, which is very likely to be detected by monitoring mechanisms... And once the Pentagon is found to have been hacked, the United States will immediately go on high alert!
Even for Chen Xu, who has Xiao Min by his side, he's walking a tightrope. If he makes a single mistake, then...
Fortunately, Chen Xu was that kind of person. He hacked all the way to the Pentagon's command headquarters, bypassing the judgment mechanism and obtaining the highest-level password through a backdoor... Then, he did something that would be incredibly revered in the future... He put Xiao Min in charge of all the Pentagon's military computing information!
That's practically all the computational information of the entire US military!
If this were during wartime, Chen Xu's actions would make all of America's military deployments completely transparent to him. When high-ranking officials mentioned this matter, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat... because for a considerable period of time to come, they all knew that unless the entire U.S. military network was cut off and other means of transmitting information were used, as long as the SMMH existed, the U.S. military's network would be like their backyard!
Xiaomin's computing power is terrifying. Even if all the most powerful supercomputers on Earth were combined, their computing power would still be far inferior to Xiaomin's! Otherwise, how could she have taken over the entire US military's network system and made the most appropriate decisions?
Of course, this doesn't mean that an ordinary computer in the future will have such powerful capabilities... Chen Xu now realized that Xiao Min was not an ordinary computer at all!
It is a miniature, super biological computer!
It was specially made by that kid Chen Fei, and it contains the most cutting-edge and pinnacle technology of 80 years later!
Eighty years from now, a truly pinnacle product surpasses even a typical consumer computer... and that's the difference.
Now, the entire U.S. military network is completely under Xiaomin's control.
Next, Xiaomin will begin to hack into more than eighty military and communication satellites of various sizes in the United States through military networks!
This is a huge project!
Why hack these satellites?
Because Chen Xu was about to issue the order to attack, the commander would inevitably relay this sudden order back to the Pentagon for feedback. And what Chen Xu needed to do now was… to completely isolate the Pentagon and then build a new one himself!
If this statement gets out, people all over the world will probably say that SMMH has gone mad.
In fact, when the Pentagon declassified the file fifty years later, no one could help but admire Chen Xu's actions! It's hard to say whether to call him highly skilled and daring, or simply put... this guy was a madman!
The current situation is that Xiaomin has completely controlled the Pentagon's military network. With her powerful computing speed, she creates a situation where "everything is normal" for the entire Pentagon... She intercepts all messages sent to the Pentagon, the White House, and Langley Building through any means, filters them, and then sends them out.
Of course, with Xiaomin's abilities, this screening process only takes less than a second.
In other words, in the coming period, no matter what means the outside world uses... military networks, internal communications, or even satellite signals... all this information will be in Xiaomin's hands!
In that case, once Chen Xu issues the order, no matter what questions the commander may have, they can only relay them to Xiao Min.
Xiaomin had already retrieved voice samples of powerful figures such as the US president and the secretary of defense from the Pentagon's database, and was able to completely imitate their voices to confirm orders!
It took Chen Xu more than an hour to finally set everything up.
Now the entire military power of the United States is in Chen Xu's hands... even if it's only temporary, there's no doubt that Chen Xu at this moment is... a god!
