Chapter 226 God's Apple
Unlike decision makers who can make decisions by patting their heads, the Minister of Defense, who is an orthodox soldier, will actually think more about pragmatic issues when considering them.
For example, now, he raised such a sharp question.
"But you have reported to me and urgently checked all military equipment, and there is no sign of invasion and damage?" the president asked.
"That's not so far, not that the other party is incapable of it." The Secretary of Defense explained patiently.
Not only an explanation to the president, but also an explanation to the boss full of the room.
"In fact, military equipment is only more stable than civilian equipment. No matter who we are, we have no confidence to say that military equipment can block interference." The Minister of Defense continued.
"Can we replace the equipment and software? We do electromagnetic shielding? The current intelligence is not said, the other party relies on electromagnetic waves to interfere with communication?" the president tried to ask: "Or encrypted intelligence?"
"If electromagnetic shielding is blocked, it means that one has blocked one's eyes and ears." The Minister of Defense can only be patient at this time, because he is the most sober person here, but his voice is the lowest. "In today's war, information is the top priority. If we block electromagnetic communication ourselves, it means that we have given up the transmission of the information chain and abandoned our perception of external intelligence. It is equivalent to fighting a war in the era of cold weapons with the most advanced weapons. No, cold weapons will not be, but at least it is also a war of the last century."
"As for intelligence encryption, it all takes time, but we don't have time." The Minister of Defense said: "We need at least twenty-four hours to prepare, but now there is no one hour left in front of us."
"Those chaotic machinery filled the entire capital of Los Angeles. Although they did nothing now, it is conceivable that they could easily tear the entire city apart with the order of the man hidden behind them."
The presence fell into a terrible silence.
Everyone is a person who can almost control the lifeline of the Sea Eagle Kingdom. They rely on this country to accumulate nearly infinite wealth and almost unshakable power. There was nothing that could make them gather together late at night, even though they obviously didn't like the others here.
But the incident in front of me really touched everyone's nerves.
If it is analogy, it is probably only the incident of alien invasions that can be compared.
Because both of them almost represent the end of an era.
"Now, how many people have died?" The president seemed to be trying to ease the atmosphere. After all, at this time, he finally gave up the idea of tweeting.
In other words, it is no longer necessary. The bad situation in Los Santo has spread throughout the world through the unrestricted network. I even believe that if a reasonable investigation result is not provided, or the mechanical commotion in Los Santo eventually leads to an extremely bad consequence.
As the Minister of Defense said before, if these machinery begin to attack humans indiscriminately, how much casualties will it bring to Los Santo?
No one knows, but it was definitely a complete massacre.
It is a sign of events that can make everyone hate and even hate all technological creations from now on.
If you can't even believe your own mobile phone or your own car, what else can you believe in this world?
Just like these big names in front of you who end up in the form of holographic images in this room, all over the Seahawk Kingdom and even in other corners of the world.
Are the technological tools they are using now really worth believing?
This is a terrifying thing to think about.
"For the time being, there are no reports of casualties." The Minister of Defense's expression was a little strange.
"It's not that there is no statistics, but that there are no reports of casualties."
He repeated it, but the meaning was slightly different.
"What does it mean?" The president didn't understand it for a while.
"Because so far, communications in Los Angeles have remained unobstructed, and for various reasons, we have not cut off Los Angeles' network connections with the outside world. Therefore, anyone can send their situation around them to all parts of the world through the Internet and push blogs as soon as possible. Judging from the information conveyed by everyone, at least so far, they are very safe."
"No machinery has launched an attack on them. Of course, because of their own security considerations, there are no brave citizens who stand up to attack those machinery. After all, these iron lumps were originally people's treasures, and rash damage may be claimed." The Minister of Defense made a slight joke.
The president looked at him: "Okay, then I need a professional advice now. Can you give it to me?"
In fact, before the meeting, the president had a preliminary exchange with the Secretary of Defense, but the current conversation was actually more about letting the people present understand.
"First of all, our top priority is to find out the mastermind behind this riot." The Secretary of Defense said word by word: "Because no matter what, we can't find his purpose so far."
"Are you sure it's "him?" an old man asked at this time.
"It's basically certain." The Minister of Defense said with a faint smile.
"Where is the evidence?" a second old man asked.
"The evidence is that he did nothing," said the Secretary of Defense.
Under everyone's doubts, the old man in his fifties talked: "Generally speaking, from the perspective of science fiction, don't look at me like this. The situation we are currently facing can generally be seen only in science fiction."
"If it is artificial intelligence, with powerful artificial intelligence awakening consciousness, then it either hides itself or has accumulated strength to try to have a dialogue with us or directly attack."
"Instead of foolishly controlling all the machines with wheels in a city, and rushing down all the passengers around you, and parading on the streets of Los Santo as if celebrating Christmas."
"Don't look at me like this. I even believe that many people in Los Santa are still not awake in their sleep, and there are socks on the head of the bed to pick up the gifts sent by Santa."
"He was too restrained by the person behind the scenes."
"I believe that if you can control the machinery of an entire city, then there should be no problem with adding one or two cities. Since civilians can be controlled, it will not be too difficult for military ones."
"His power is beyond our imagination, like a God who can create the world for seven days."
"But I just want to peel an apple."
"And he didn't snuck it secretly."
