Chapter 360: 142, Lin Mo… you are ruthless!! Chen Shanhe fled in a panic!!_7
Afterward, he walked out of the conference room with heavy steps, pushing open the door.
Once outside the conference room, Chen Shanhe first went to the cybersecurity team led by Wang Xun.
At this moment, top hackers from all over the world were intently tapping away at their keyboards, trying to seal off or find Lin Mo’s livestream through various means.
There were also people specially in charge of managing paid trolls, trying to steer the narrative in the chat room as much as possible.
The efforts of the paid trolls weren’t going well.
As Lin Mo exposed more and more information, the effects that the trolls could achieve became increasingly limited.
Chen Shanhe knew very well what Lin Mo would say next, and if all of it were to be leaked, the trolls would probably completely lose their effectiveness.
However,
he had already made preparations for both possibilities.
On one hand, he was ready to cut off his own limb and cling to a powerful ally, and on the other, he had also brought in some powerful external assistance.
Only, this external assistance was a double-edged sword that could harm him if he wasn’t careful.
Upon seeing Chen Shanhe, Wang Xun hurriedly stood up, respectfully greeting, “Elder Chen.”
Chen Shanhe calmly asked, “How is the progress?”
This…
Wang Xun really didn’t know how to answer this question because, after several minutes, they had made no progress at all.
It wasn’t that the top hackers Chen Shanhe had brought in weren’t formidable.
They were actually very formidable.
At least Wang Xun felt that among these people, even his cybersecurity skills wouldn’t rank in the top 10.
However, their opponent was even more formidable; all sorts of data were flawlessly executed, leaving no vulnerabilities to exploit, and their cooperation was extremely in sync. One could tell it was the result of prolonged and careful training.
Forget about shutting down Lin Mo’s livestream, even trying to lock down a general location was extremely difficult.
Dark truly lived up to their name!
World number one is indeed the world number one!
Not the least overrated!
Of course, these were thoughts Wang Xun certainly wouldn’t dare share directly with Chen Shanhe, fearing it could lead to his demise.
There was no choice but for him to try and explain, “Elder Chen, the situation is more troublesome than anticipated. Behind Lin Mo, there’s a large group of T0 tier world-class hackers, and furthermore, there’s a very strong team behind them.”
“Let alone us, in fact, under the current situation, even the bunch of geniuses at the Net Security Bureau with their supercomputers can’t temporarily shut down Lin Mo’s livestream!”
“Dark has made thorough preparations for this time!”
“However, rest assured, I have just asked Net Security, and they are trying to start up the ‘Dragon’ supercomputer. Perhaps with its powerful computational might, we can solve our current troubles!”
After finishing, Wang Xun anxiously looked at Chen Shanhe, hoping not to have incurred his displeasure at such a time.
Unexpected to him, Chen Shanhe was calmer than he anticipated, asking indifferently, “If I gave you a supercomputer, how confident are you that you can find Lin Mo?”
Huh?
Isn’t the ‘Dragon’ the only supercomputer Grand Xia uses for cybersecurity?
Such a thing isn’t just readily available on the market for anyone who wants it.
Looking around at the more than 200 countries globally, only a handful of nations own a supercomputer.
However, since Chen Shanhe himself mentioned it, Wang Xun didn’t dare to ask more, simply replying honestly, “If there’s another supercomputer in addition to the one at Net Security, I’m a hundred percent confident we can locate Lin Mo!”
That claim was far from an exaggeration.
Through these two encounters, Wang Xun estimated that Dark’s team had a computational power of about 0.89 exaflops.
Although he didn’t know how many top global hackers Dark had mobilized, to achieve such computational power, there would have to be at least 300 top-tier hackers.
And one supercomputer possesses 1.051 exaflops of power; another one would make it roughly 2 exaflops, which means the computational power would be more than double that of Dark’s, leaving no reason they wouldn’t be able to overpower them.
Hearing Wang Xun’s confident response, Chen Shanhe said placidly, “91, 23, QV, 43, 23, XY.”
“Those are the access keys for ‘Fugaku’.”
Ah?
The access keys for ‘Fugaku’???
Wang Xun was completely dumbfounded, this shock almost as great as seeing Lin Mo reactivate his livestream.
Uncertain, he inquired, “Elder Chen, the ‘Fugaku’ access keys you mentioned, they’re from that country’s… supercomputer?”
Chen Shanhe looked at him coldly, without responding.
Wang Xun realized he had misspoken, quickly adding apologetically, “I’m sorry, Elder Chen, I spoke out of turn, but please rest assured, with the addition of this supercomputer, our Hive will possess computational power not inferior to that of Net Security!”
“If two supercomputers attack at the same time, even with three heads and six arms, Lin Mo would not escape your Five Fingers Mountain!”
“Watch your mouth, and don’t let me down.”
Chen Shanhe made no indication of a response but left these words behind as he walked out of the network group.
Renting ‘Fugaku’ supercomputer was top secret, extremely confidential information that absolutely could not be leaked.
If the higher-ups knew he, Chen Shanhe, dared to connect a foreign supercomputer to the nation’s network, then not just one Chen Shanhe—even ten Chen Shanhes tied together would be dead.
Being manipulated by a minor figure would make the higher-ups laugh at him, but compromising Grand Xia’s security turned him into an enemy!
Towards an enemy, one must be as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves!
Chen Shanhe was aware of the risks involved.
But he had no choice.
The effect of Lin Mo’s live stream was more terrifying than he had anticipated!
If Lin Mo was allowed to broadcast that way, revealing all his secrets, his end would undoubtedly be a tragic one!
Therefore, he had to take the risk!
After leaving the network group, Chen Shanhe didn’t just idle and wait for results; instead, he gathered a group of his most trusted confidants and quickly left the headquarters.
If he could find Lin Mo next, that would naturally be good news.
But if he failed to do so, then he would be the one in danger!
Grand Xia would certainly turn their knives on him!
Thus, to prepare for the worst, he had to make haste to leave this place, hide away, and avoid immediate danger!
Clever as a rabbit with three burrows, Chen Shanhe was not foolish enough to stay and wait for the blade to fall!
During the past six months, although he had hugged many a powerful thigh, he did not fully trust those people!
“Elder Chen, everything is ready.”
Chen Shanhe got into a black sedan, and the driver whispered, “No one will know where we have gone.”
Chen Shanhe nodded.
He lowered the car window and looked at his headquarters for a moment.
This was the effort of more than half his life.
But now, it seemed he had reached the point where he had to abandon it.
Though reluctant.
Such a time required him to be decisively resolute.
“Drive.”
Chen Shanhe’s gaze was firm, without a hint of nostalgia, as he raised the car window.
He took out his smartphone and opened Lin Mo’s live stream.
Watching Lin Mo, who was still tirelessly exposing his dirty secrets on the screen, Chen Shanhe’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.
“Lin Mo… you are ruthless!”
“But don’t get too pleased with yourself; let’s wait and see!”
…
Once Chen Shanhe had left, Wang Xun carefully accessed an encrypted website, input the key for ‘Fugaku’, and successfully connected the host computer.
Carrying out such an operation under normal circumstances could easily reveal their actions to the ‘Dragon’ supercomputer.
But now, Grand Xia’s network forces were all busy dealing with Dark and couldn’t spare any attention for what seemed like an ordinary network connection.
Soon, with the support of ‘Fugaku’ supercomputer, Wang Xun’s computer gained a computing power of 1.051e+19, and it would offer him dozens of different solutions to his problems almost instantly with just a command.
In comparison to Grand Xia’s ‘Dragon’ supercomputer, ‘Fugaku’s’ computing power was not at all inferior, even slightly superior.
There was no helping it; others had been playing with supercomputers for a longer time, and the technological gap still existed. To catch up, or to surpass, would take some time.
“Lin Mo, right? With Fugaku in hand, this time, I’d like to see where you could run!”
“Even Dark can’t protect you now!”
Wang Xun quickly typed a string of commands into his computer, making ‘Fugaku’ supercomputer operate at 100% power, beginning complex computations and taking over most of the work from the top hackers in the hall.
When it came down to logical thinking, the human brain stood little chance against the computer, let alone against a supercomputer.
The hackers originally distracted with defense saw their jobs taken over by the supercomputer. Although surprised, they all understood the unspoken agreement not to say anything.
Their adversary was the well-prepared Dark, and having the support of a supercomputer undoubtedly greatly increased their chances of success!
