Chapter 293: god

"Hello ladies and gentlemen in the United States."
"My name is god, the of the internet."
The Walker 5000 audio externally connected to Edward's computer suddenly heard a neutral sound composed entirely of electronics. Although the sound could not distinguish between men and women, there was a tone that people couldn't forget when they heard it.
You can also see the screen flashing blood red pictures, from time to time, a drop of 'blood' drips from the top of the picture, and in the center of the picture, a line of global numbers is displayed in front of him, which is in white font. A line of Arabic numerals marked:
24:00.
These few Arabic numerals were constantly flashing without any change, but it was just this change that made Edward's mouth wide open, revealing surprise.
At this moment, the first reaction in his brain was: hacker!
That's right, it's a hacker!
Only hackers can invade other people's computers, use superb technology to change other people's programs, and play with others in the palm of their hands. Now, is your own computer also captured by hackers?
Wait, what he said seems to be ‘Ladies and gentlemen in the United States,’ In other words, was n’t it just me who was breached?
Although the appearance was ugly, Edward, who had been playing video games all year round, noticed the imperfections in the text. He turned his head and looked out the window, and saw that the street was still the same, the car was beeping, and he did not hear Any exclamation to the next door,
Did he really think too much?
Edward frowned, and just wanted to turn off the computer, but a new voice came out in the audio, "Twenty-four hours from now, 13 million tons of nuclear bombs will be dropped in major cities in the United States. , Every citizen of the United States, please be as prepared as possible. "
what?
Edward shook his right hand, and his body that was about to bend over was stiff in the air. What was this guy talking about just now? He said that thirteen nuclear bombs would bloom in the United States in a day?
Are you joking?
Although Edward is a standard American otaku, he still knows a bit about nuclear bombs, and the knowledge comes from the Internet-to his knowledge, there are only a few countries with nuclear bombs, and the United States is among them. The nuclear bombs created by these countries have two states of 'ready' and 'service'. In the 'ready' state, the nuclear warhead is separated from the missile and has no strike capability. The 'service' state is a pre-set target and has been Nuclear warheads mounted on missiles. These nuclear warheads only need a password, and a few instructions can be launched at any time.
However, these instructions are by no means so simple. One of them is in the hands of the president, the other is in charge of the head of the nuclear bomb base where the nuclear bomb is located, and the other is where he forgot. In short, the number of global nuclear bombs exceeds 20,000, but Nuclear warheads in the 'service' state, without the orders of the President and Congress, will not move a finger at all, and other countries are even more imaginable.
It is harder to get a nuclear bomb than to reach the sky.
What's more, the existence of a nuclear bundling strategy makes no country dare to act lightly. This is a very horrifying national strategy. When a country is hit, it does not actively resist or ask for assistance, but instead sends the world All nuclear-weapon states on the planet indiscriminately dragged into the mire of war.
The system formed by this nuclear bundling policy is called the "Dead Hand System", which is an automated nuclear counterattack system established by nuclear powers. That is, even if the head command authority is eliminated, it can still automatically strike preset targets. In other words, once the country's highest head office and command system is destroyed or paralyzed by a nuclear assault, the "dead hand system" will automatically issue nuclear codes and nuclear strike instructions.
The system is linked to hundreds of intercontinental missiles and can automatically assign strike targets. This system does not distinguish whether the target of the attack is the target of the attack, but only strikes according to a predetermined procedure.
What the US government is most worried about is not the outbreak of nuclear war, but that it has no ability to ensure that the other party is finished after the outbreak of nuclear war. Conversely, if the opponent can be convinced that he can still counterattack after undergoing a nuclear saturation attack, a comprehensive nuclear war will not erupt.
In short, the existence of a dead-hand system puts all nuclear powers in a position where no one dares to start war easily.
But at this time, the man who broke his computer said that a day later a nuclear bomb would attack the United States? Edward only thought it was too absurd, but the voice continued. "The targets of this nuclear bomb attack are: New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Detroit, San Francisco ..."
With the names reported by each other on the computer, Edward only felt that his back was a little cold. These cities are either the most developed industrial cities in the United States or the most developed commercial cities. Adding each other, the population involved It has exceeded 40 million! This is more than a tenth of the entire United States population. If all this is true, then under a blow, the economic and industrial level of the United States will at least go back for decades!
After all, this is just a clumsy prank that wants to cause panic.
"I, will carry out a nuclear strike on these cities. In order to reduce the casualties of innocent people, the residents of the above cities should immediately leave the cities where they have been named, otherwise they will bear the consequences."
Edward shook his head, decisively pressed the power button, and was ready to restart the computer into safe mode. However, the moment he pressed the power button, he seemed to see that the '24: 00 'number on the screen suddenly jumped to '23 : 59 '……
It ’s really the same ...
Edward shook his head. At this point, the computer had been restarted. He kept pressing f8, preparing to repair his computer from safe mode.
In safe mode, Edward looked at his computer, but after ten minutes, he had to admit that this new virus did have some advantages, at least his Kaspersky didn't find anything to kill. Virus.
As the computer restarted again, the screen at this time had completely restored the appearance of the windows interface, and the situation of the previous virus disappeared like an illusion.
Edward poked his lips, clicked the lol icon again with some disappointment, and was just about to re-rank, but a melodious ringtone interrupted him.
Seeing the caller, Edward suddenly lighted up—Jenny, that was the dream lover in his class. He quickly picked up the phone at a speed not inferior to playing lol, and coughed slightly, trying to make My voice is more charming.
"Hello, Jenny? Is it all right?"
"Classmate Edward," the voice on the phone was slender and sweet, like a pleasant wind chime. "I'm sorry to bother you, but can you come to my apartment? Is there a virus in my computer?"
"A virus?" Edward frowned. Coincidentally, his computer had a virus just now.
"Yes, a prank suddenly appeared on my computer. Some people said that they would drop a nuclear bomb in the United States. Now I'm a little scared, Edward. Can you come over quickly?"
"Hey ... Edward? Edward?" (To be continued.) 2k novel reading network
