#636 - Chapter 636: North America is the Internet island! To harbor criminals is to be an accomplice
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
The President snapped back to reality, waving his hands repeatedly in disbelief: "No one understands the internet better than I do! Satellites are in the sky, unless those damned Chinese can connect fiber optic cables in outer space, otherwise… how could they connect?!"
"Mr. President…"
Warren didn't know how to argue.
He had just heard the news and rushed to report it to the President.
The news was released by China.
True or false?
God knows!
What the President said seemed to make sense.
Could it be… fake news?
"Mr. President, a major event has occurred!"
A senior official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs rushed in, flustered: "Germany has issued a condemnation, and… also…"
"Also what?!" the President snapped impatiently.
"Germany has proactively cut off its connection to our root servers, claiming to completely disconnect from North America!"
"What?!"
The President's shock was still evident on his face.
Someone else ran in.
"They say… they no longer need the root servers!"
"They also say that we are forcing them to make a choice, and cutting off undersea cables… is the answer!"
Thump!
The President fell heavily onto the sofa.
Cutting off undersea cables!
No longer using North American root servers!
Once enough countries do this, they can collectively build an internet like before, but instead…
North America and its few allies will become an isolated internet island!
"Go investigate… Damn it! Find out what the hell is going on?!"
The President roared.
His咆哮 could be heard outside the office.
…
'China has developed quantum satellites, constructing root servers in space, with parsing speeds far exceeding North America'
'Connection signals cover the globe with no dead zones'
'Within a day, over 150 countries have joined, beginning to install receiving equipment'
'North American root server user countries currently number less than 50'
The Bureau of Strategic Deception and the Bureau of Strategic Fearmongering both took action.
Of course.
Secretly controlled by Chen Hao, and involuntarily scattered across various countries, those guys writing 小作文 (short essays) were also desperately spreading the news.
In a short time, the world was in an uproar!
Which means…
Currently, the global internet is divided into two systems.
One uses North American root servers.
One uses Chinese quantum root servers.
And!
Virtually all countries that were coerced by North America but chose Chinese root servers directly cut off their connection to North American root servers at the physical layer—the two major root servers completely 'broke up'!
Within a day, more than 150 countries announced they were using Chinese root servers.
The remaining countries are using North American ones?
No!
They are just temporarily unsure if Chinese root servers will work, and will wait a few days to confirm…
Let's put it this way.
No more than twenty countries will play with North America!
What does this mean?
When a system has too few players, the information accessed will also be much less, inevitably leading to rapid decline.
In other words.
The number of countries connected to North America will decrease more and more in the future!
North America made all countries choose.
Now, the choice has been made!
"A divine assist."
Chen Hao looked at his phone with a strange smile.
Initially, he was worried that countries wouldn't trust it, or were too used to using North American root servers and unwilling to change.
Unexpectedly…
North America forced the world to make a choice!
Most countries are deeply economically tied to China and cannot abandon the Chinese market.
The choice of adults is…
I want it all!
They want both the economy and the internet.
When China can provide both, North America is directly abandoned!
"Xiao Hao!"
A knock sounded on the door.
Chen Hao had only been awake for a while.
Starting at eleven o'clock last night, he not only had to launch five rockets but also debug the space root servers. He was busy until almost dawn.
And now!
He slept until the afternoon.
He only woke up after receiving a call from General Wang.
"Mom."
He put on his pajamas and opened the door, seeing his mother outside: "What's wrong?"
"Is your work… finished?" Li Lan stammered slightly.
"Yeah!"
Chen Hao immediately understood.
He thought about it: "Mom, I'll go change my clothes."
…
Half an hour later.
The convoy departed from the satellite launch center.
With the nationwide infrastructure construction starting, coupled with high technology harvesting the world, there would be more money to plan a greater number—including the more remote Gansu.
The convoy was in the middle.
Chen Hao personally drove, with only his family in the car.
"How much further?" Chen Fuhai couldn't help but ask.
"Soon."
Chen Hao seemed to be sparing with his words.
"Xiao Hao…"
Suddenly!
Li Lan's voice in the back row trembled noticeably: "Is your Aunt Yun…"
Chen Hao was stunned.
He understood in his heart that perhaps…
His mother had guessed it long ago!
Since he indicated that he knew where Aunt Yun was, why hadn't he gone to find her before?
The answer.
Was self-evident!
"Mom, I didn't want to make you sad, so… I never mentioned it," Chen Hao sighed.
"…"
Li Lan said nothing more.
She just lowered her head, silently shedding tears.
Finally, the convoy drove onto a dirt road; the highway hadn't been built in.
The road was very narrow, only suitable for walking.
Just as they got out of the car, the sky, which had been somewhat overcast, began to drizzle.
Xiang Yan and Shi Dali immediately took out umbrellas, originally intending to hold them for Chen Hao, but Chen Hao handed them to his mother: "Mom, it's raining."
Li Lan still didn't speak, only silently pushing the umbrella away.
Chen Hao was stunned.
Then he handed the umbrella to Xia Qingmo, staying by his mother's side himself.
Not holding an umbrella, accompanying his mother in the rain.
As a result, Xia Qingmo took the umbrella, then turned around and gave it back to Xiang Yan.
How clever was she?
His future mother-in-law wasn't holding an umbrella because she was sad, and it was also a kind of… indirect mourning, right?
Her boyfriend wasn't holding an umbrella to accompany his mother.
How could she be an exception?
In the end.
None of them were holding umbrellas.
Fortunately, it was just a drizzle.
After walking for half an hour, they vaguely saw a small village in the distance through the misty rain.
"Hey, excuse me."
Seeing a villager ahead, Shi Dali quickly ran over: "Do you know how to get to Li Yun's house?"
"What Li Yun?" The villager looked blank.
"Li Yun who passed away eight years ago."
Chen Hao walked over to add.
"You…"
The villager seemed to suddenly remember, his gaze quickly sweeping over the people present.
Clean, decent clothes.
Out of place with this village.
"What… what are you doing?!" He suddenly became very vigilant.
"It seems!"
Suddenly!
Chen Hao's face suddenly turned cold: "Your village traffics people, and it's not just one or two, is it? Helping each other hide it!"
"I… I don't know what you're talking about, I don't understand…" The villager was shocked, preparing to run away.
"Take him down!"
At his command.
Swish!
Two national security personnel rushed up, and the villager, who didn't have time to escape, was directly pinned to the ground.
"You know, right?"
Chen Hao's eyes were icy cold: "Harboring criminals makes you an accomplice!"
"What… what accomplice? You're talking nonsense!"
The villager was unconvinced.
On the one hand, he was very afraid of these people.
On the other hand, he felt that what the other party said didn't make sense: "Buying with money, how is that illegal? You… you're arresting people randomly! Even the police can't arrest people randomly!"
Buying with money isn't illegal?
Buying people!
Isn't illegal?!
"Where is Li Yun's house?" Chen Hao's murderous aura soared.
Click!
The dark muzzle pointed at the villager's head.
