Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 497 What are the consequences of a failed plot?

When Shenfei appeared, all the technical personnel on site surrounded him.

"President Shen... this... this new system is amazing!"

Liu Zhihong was so nervous that he couldn't speak.

"This system not only allowed us to defend the area, but also provided us with complete evidence of the attack."

It has now been discovered that it's a secret data center in Silicon Valley, USA, and ultimately involved Silver Lake Capital, along with other third-party entities.

"Official US website!"

After he finished speaking, the people present immediately nodded. After all, such a powerful force would be fake if it didn't have some American influence.

"Preserve the evidence carefully, don't release it yet."

"I'll call my father-in-law first, and we'll settle this score later."

…………

He returned to his office and immediately picked up his phone to dial Zhang Shiqing's hotline.

"Xiao Fei, is there any progress on the attack? Don't worry, the second batch of reinforcements will arrive soon."

These bastards won't get away with this easily.

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Shiqing was very anxious, but he couldn't afford to panic at this crucial moment.

After all, his current position is different, and the overall situation he needs to focus on is also different.

"Dad, we have a brand new protection system here, and the problem has been solved now."

And everything has been thoroughly investigated.

Shen Fei's words instantly delighted Zhang Shiqing.

"The mastermind behind this is the same group of people I told you about before."

However, this time, they used top hackers from three federal prisons to launch a targeted attack on our Taishan system.

I have now compiled all the source tracing logs, IP links, and evidence related to the parties involved in the case.

"Just as I thought!"

The sound of Zhang Shiqing slamming his fist on the table came from the other end of the phone.

"This is absolutely unfair competition, a blatant national-level cyberattack against our private enterprises, it's simply outrageous."

"You should immediately encrypt the materials and send them to the Provincial Cyberspace Administration. I will send someone to deliver them right away."

This absolutely cannot be left like this; they must be taught a profound lesson.

"Understood," Shen Fei replied. "The legal and security departments have already prepared it and will send it over in half an hour."

"Yes, I got a call... I'll go report to them."

Furthermore, you must be prepared to reserve the right to retaliate.

After Zhang Shiqing finished speaking, he was immediately taken aback. Equal right to retaliate meant using the same methods against Google.

He hadn't expected his father-in-law to be even more impulsive than he had imagined!

But it's good, this can be considered a great achievement.

…………

Three days later, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' regular press conference.

The spokesperson stood at the front of the stage, his eyes constantly darting back and forth between the American journalists, making them all feel a little uneasy.

Other reporters also clearly looked on with amusement, after all, despite the United States' desperate attempts to suppress this cyber war, quite a few small pieces of information still leaked out.

"Please tell me, spokesperson, there have been reports recently that Chinese technology companies have suffered large-scale cyberattacks."

Does China have any information regarding this matter? Is there any evidence pointing to the source of the attack?

"Could you reveal some details?"

"I've heard that Transsion has a very dangerous intelligent AI prevention and control system that can autonomously produce viruses. Are you aware of this?"

"Huaxing has acquired biological viruses. Can the other party provide a reasonable explanation for this?"

When confronted with these accusations of throwing dirty water, the spokesperson merely glared at them before speaking in a very serious tone:

I hereby formally announce:

Recently, Transsion Holdings Limited in my country suffered a large-scale, organized, and premeditated transnational cyberattack.

The attackers exploited multiple kernel-level zero-day vulnerabilities to create a proprietary virus, attempting to steal core enterprise data and disrupt my country's self-developed operating systems. This is an extremely malicious act.

"Our technical department has conducted a thorough investigation and has obtained sufficient evidence."

The attack originated within the United States, was led by American capital institutions, involved relevant departments, and spanned multiple countries.

Upon hearing this, the beautiful reporter in the audience's face darkened instantly, but quickly recovered.

After all, they weren't the only ones whose secrets were exposed...

They were just specifically named.

"We strongly condemn this and have lodged a formal protest with the relevant parties involved through diplomatic channels."

We demand that the parties involved immediately cease all related cyberattacks, fully cooperate with our joint investigation, and apprehend the individuals involved.

And provide a reasonable explanation.

"I reiterate that cyberspace is not a lawless zone. We are determined to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of our companies and resolutely maintain national cybersecurity."

Any action that harms the interests of those involved will inevitably come at a price.

This continued with a very tough stance, which once again shocked the reporters in the audience.

This really is that delicate rabbit!

It's no longer a warning, but direct action; it seems they'll have to find another way if they don't cooperate...

In short, it's impossible to drag this out any longer.

"What evidence do you have?"

This was a trap set by the reporter, and no answer was received.

This is not a speech session, it's a notification.

…………

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean.

The National Security Advisor slammed the newspaper down in Thompson's face.

"Useless, a bunch of useless people."

He's always bragging about how amazing his skills are. Didn't he say he wouldn't get caught doing anything wrong?

"There's not a trace left. I bet they practically dug up your underwear!"

Thompson stood there, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

He didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Although Shadow had already told him that the address had been leaked, the other party... really showed no mercy whatsoever.

"Sir, what do we do now? They've sent a joint investigation letter, demanding our cooperation in arresting people."

The assistant paced back and forth in the office with a dark expression, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. He was wondering whether he should gag the three men.

After all, the dead are better at keeping secrets.

"We absolutely cannot hand them over. Those three hackers are hiding too much information. If we hand them over, we're all doomed."

"The most urgent task now is to deal with that secret base, as well as the other bases."

Thompson nodded: "Sir, I understand. There's a problem with the gas line."

"An accidental explosion is also possible," the security assistant said. "An explosion caused by a circuit failure in the data center would destroy all equipment and leave everyone on site missing."

"With no one left to testify, what can they do?"

"If China takes a hard line, we will say that we are investigating and have not yet found any related attacks."

Just keep dragging it out!

……

That very night, an explosion occurred at the secret data center on the outskirts of Silicon Valley!

……

"That's despicable! They actually destroyed the body to cover up the crime!" Liu Zhihong slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"That's normal. The Americans have always liked to play this 'dead men tell no tales' game."

However, these people are definitely not dead; dragging this out won't be so easy.

"Help me connect with Google's CEO and tell him I have a business deal to discuss with him."
