Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

110: With it, our information will never be eavesdropped on!”Good!”

”Well said!”

”I just love that lawless, arrogant attitude of yours, kid!”

”Go ahead and do it!”

”I’ve got your back!”

One month later.

Inside the Kunlun Mountain Underground Base, at the core laboratory of the ”Xihe” information security project team.

This place had already been transformed into an information fortress filled with a futuristic, sci-fi feel!

Countless uniquely shaped quantum servers, personally designed by Lu Chen, stood quietly in every corner of the laboratory.

They emitted a pale blue light that represented absolute order and security!

And at this moment.

Long Weiguo and a group of top-level bigwigs from the Xia State’s security, intelligence, and cyber warfare departments were standing there, one by one, with solemn expressions.

Their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation!

Because today, they would witness a great moment capable of changing the future landscape of information warfare!

The first military-grade quantum secure communication satellite of the Xia State!

The first communication test of ”Xihe No. 1”!

”Leaders.”

Lu Chen was still wearing that simple white research uniform.

His face still wore that innocent, harmless smile.

As if what was about to take place was not a military revolution capable of making the whole world tremble.

But just an ordinary classroom demonstration.

”I know everyone is very concerned about the actual performance of this ’little toy’ of ours.”

”So,”

”I won’t waste any more words.”

”We’ll get straight to the real stuff.”

He reached out and gently tapped his finger in the air.

The next second!

On the huge holographic screen behind him, a real-time image of a military command room filled with a murderous aura instantly appeared!

In the image, a middle-aged man wearing a crisp general’s uniform, his face full of dignity, was sitting solemnly in front of the command console!

It was none other than the supreme commander of the Xia State’s Eastern Theater Command!

General Li!

”Reporting, Academician Lu!”

Upon seeing Lu Chen, General Li stood up abruptly from his chair and gave a standard military salute to the screen!

His sharp, tiger-like eyes were filled with heartfelt admiration and fanaticism!

”The Eastern Theater Command’s ’Sharp Sword’ information confrontation exercise is ready!”

”The Red Team will use our traditional military encrypted lines for communication!”

”And the Blue Team,”

A smile full of confidence and pride curled at the corners of his mouth!

”Will use the ’Xihe No. 1’ quantum communication system that you personally designed!”

”The exercise can begin at any time!”

”Very good.”

Lu Chen nodded calmly.

”Then,”

”I announce!”

”The exercise begins now!”

As soon as his voice fell!

”heavenly craft!”

[Here, Master.]

”Hack into the Western Alliance’s Pentagon ’Eye of God’ global surveillance system for me.”

”Then,”

”Take the live footage of this ’ordinary’ military exercise of ours.”

”’Accidentally’ leak it to them.”

”Let them serve as our free”

”referees.”

[Yes, Master.]

heavenly craft’s crisp voice was filled with a playful, mischievous glee, like a prank that had succeeded.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Western Alliance’s Pentagon underground, at the highest-level cyber warfare command center.

Director Burns and a group of Western Alliance military bigwigs were looking at the huge holographic screen in front of them with livid faces!

The screen was playing the shocking footage released by official Xia State media of the successful ignition of the ”sun of the east sea” on a loop!

”The devil! This is absolutely the devil’s power!”

A hot-tempered Five-Star General slammed the table and roared:

”We cannot sit here and wait for death any longer!”

”I suggest an immediate surgical”

”nuclear strike on that damn ’Sun Island’ of the Xia State!”

”Before they fully master this devilish technology!”

”Strangle it in the cradle completely!”

His crazy declaration of mutual destruction was instantly met with unanimous agreement from all the hawkish bigwigs present!

”That’s right! We must destroy it!”

”For the free world!”

However,

Just as they were still crazily clamoring to launch a ”nuclear war,”

A scream filled with horror and fear suddenly rang out!

”No, this is bad!”

A young technician responsible for monitoring the ”Eye of God” system jumped up from his chair as if he had seen a ghost!

He pointed at the strange image on the screen that had suddenly gone black and then lit up again!

His voice was trembling!

”’Eye of God’ has been, has been hacked!”

”What?!”

Director Burns and all the military bigwigs present were struck on the crown of their heads as if by a black lightning bolt!

They were completely petrified!

”’Eye of God’?!”

That was the global surveillance system that their Western Alliance had spent trillions of dollars on, built by the world’s top hackers and cybersecurity experts, and claimed to be ”absolutely impossible” to hack!

And it had actually been hacked without anyone noticing?!

How the hell is this possible?!

However,

Before they could recover from this huge, subversive shock,

The strange black screen suddenly disappeared.

Replaced by a terrifying image that made their very souls tremble!

It was a top-level military exercise of the Xia State’s Eastern Theater Command!

In the image, the commander representing the Red Team was issuing combat orders to his troops through traditional military encrypted lines!

And the moment his voice fell!

Every word he said clearly turned into lines of striking English subtitles appearing at the bottom of the screen!

Even his accent, full of Xia State dialect, was accurately ”translated”!

”This, this,”

Director Burns pointed at the Xia State Red Team command post on the screen, which could be described as ”streaking,” his lips trembling, unable to say a complete sentence!

He knew!

What this meant!

It meant that the Xia State’s so-called ”military encryption” was, in front of their ”Eye of God”!

Simply a complete and utter joke!

”Hahahaha!”

He couldn’t help but burst into laughter!

That hearty laughter was filled with the ecstasy and pride of something regained!

”Did you see that?! Did you see that?!”

He pointed at the screen and roared at all the military bigwigs present:

”This is the strength of our Western Alliance!”

”So what if the Xia State people have created some bullshit ’artificial sun’?!”

”In the face of absolute information hegemony!”

”They are just a bunch of blind and deaf people!”

”We can play with them however we want!”

His words were incredibly arrogant!

Instantly reigniting the morale of all the Western Alliance bigwigs present, which had become somewhat sluggish because of the ”artificial sun”!

”That’s right! Victory belongs to us!”

”Long live the free world!”

However,

Just as they were still crazily celebrating their so-called ”information hegemony,”

The strange image on the screen changed again!

Switching to the command post representing the Blue Team!

And this time,

All the Western Alliance bigwigs in the entire command center were as if strangled by an invisible hand!

The smiles on their faces instantly froze!

The ecstasy in their eyes instantly vanished!

Replaced by an unprecedented, deathly gray despair!

Because they were horrified to discover!

On the screen!

In that command post representing the Blue Team!

All communications were actually completely blank?!

No sound!

No subtitles!

Not even a single bit of electromagnetic signal could be detected!

As if that command post didn’t exist in this world at all!

”No, impossible.”

The supervisor in charge of cybersecurity fell to the ground, dejected, muttering to himself.

”What kind of devilish technology is this?!”

”Why”

”Can’t our ’Eye of God’ intercept even a single signal?!”

He didn’t know.

Just when he was baffled and on the verge of a breakdown,

Far away, thousands of miles away.

In that nation he called ”the devil’s,”

A teenager, only eighteen years old,

Was looking calmly at the group of Western Alliance bigwigs on the light screen in front of him who had been completely scared out of their wits.

He smiled faintly.

Then, he said slowly to Long Weiguo, who was standing beside him with a look of admiration:

”Director Long.”

”Tell me,”

”If we sent a text message saying ’Hello World’ to Director Burns’s phone right now,”

”Do you think”

”he would be so excited that he’d have a heart attack on the spot?”
