Chapter 450: Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole

Of course, Yue Jiafeng did not ask Ning Chen about the inside story of this matter. Since Ning Chen did not want to discuss this matter, he must have his own reasons.

"Ning Chen, you really solved this crisis successfully as you promised before. Your technology is really amazing. I don't know how you did it all."

Song Xiyun whispered to Ning Chen in his ear.

Song Xiyun was naturally very curious about how Ning Chen did it, but Song Xiyun would not ask about it thoroughly. As for whether Ning Chen was going to explain this matter, it depends on Ning Chen's own thoughts.

In response to Song Xiyun's question, Ning Chen replied somewhat noncommittally:

"It's hard to explain the process here, but I have proved through this incident that I am capable of protecting myself and others. I don't think there is any reason for those unnecessary worries to appear again."

As expected by Song Xiyun, Ning Chen did not directly explain how he did it, but despite this, Song Xiyun would not ask any more questions, because Ning Chen was enough to make her feel at ease.

In fact, even Ning Chen himself still doesn't know how the drone crisis was resolved this time, because all this is the credit of Xiaozhi's safety protection function.

Of course, Ning Chen is definitely the one who knows the situation best. Even for the principle of Xiaozhi's action this time, Ning Chen basically understands 70% to 80%. It's just that Ning Chen wants to completely copy Xiaozhi's action and achieve the same effect, Ning Chen is afraid that he still can't do it.

"Xiaozhi's current ability... is really terrible. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to get this artificial intelligence. Otherwise, whether I can continue to survive in this world is still unknown."

In addition to having Xiaozhi, an artificial intelligence, Ning Chen's careful training of Xiaozhi is also very important.

When Ning Chen was almost "penniless", he could spend a lot of money to buy the best equipment he could afford, just so that Xiaozhi could learn quickly. Such an investment without considering the return is not something that everyone can do.

After Xiaozhi gradually grew up, Ning Chen also replaced Xiaozhi with better equipment, and even high-tech products such as quantum computers, Ning Chen was very relieved to let Xiaozhi use them at will.

Fortunately, all that Ning Chen did was finally rewarded doubled, which made Ning Chen's efforts and resources not in vain.

And now Xiaozhi's ability is far from being measured by money in the conventional sense, but has reached a point that cannot be evaluated with funds.

Across the ocean, the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

"Damn... I really don't understand how they destroyed all the drones we deployed?"

At this moment, the FBI members in the conference room were discussing this matter dejectedly.

According to their plan, they did not intend to let this drone action have any substantial attack effect, but this was only the first step of the entire plan.

Their real goal is to make Ning Chen and Xingchen Technology pay a high price to deal with these drone attacks in this way. This is not only a consumption of Xingchen Technology's financial strength, but also a huge consumption of their energy.

Because if this goes on, the people of Xingchen Technology will almost always worry about the drones that are not far away from them. After all, there is no security protection technology that can achieve 100% safety. If they are in this state of worry for a long time, then the construction of the space elevator will most likely not be completed smoothly.

And this is just one of the plans of the FBI. In fact, their more important idea is to confuse Ning Chen and the people of Xingchen Technology in this way.

It is not so easy to cause damage simply by drones, so the FBI must use other methods to achieve their goals.

And this method is to take advantage of this "drone crisis" to send people to enter the space elevator project, so as to take their attack actions at a closer distance.

However, because the response of Star Technology this time was far beyond their expectations, they were completely panicked.

"Yes, sir, it seems that the actual defense capability of Star Technology is much stronger than what they have publicly shown. Should we give up the plan later or wait for the opportunity to take action later?"

Hearing the words "give up the action", some people were obviously a little restless. After all, they have been dormant for many years for this action, and they certainly don't want to give up easily.

"Sir, I don't think so. Although the actual response of Star Technology to our drone action is indeed very unexpected, it does not mean that their response is indeed very low-cost. Perhaps the cost of using this new security protection system will be much higher than the previous generation of security protection system..."

After hearing such a novel point of view, some people in the conference room did change their views.

Normally, the cost of using electromagnetic wave signals should not be very high, at least it certainly cannot be compared with air defense missiles, because one is an invisible and intangible wave, and the other is an entity that can be seen intuitively. There seems to be little comparison of value.

But in fact, in theory, such a view is indeed possible. For example, it is very expensive to transmit some electromagnetic waves with particularly high power. The cost of the power energy used is even higher than Many expensive weapons are even more expensive.

In addition, this defense method is likely to be targeted at interfering with drones. Even if the brands and specifications of these drones are the same, there are still subtle differences among them, which undoubtedly increases the risk of interference. Difficulty and cost, even if the technology is mature, it is unlikely that there will be no consumption.

"Sir, I think we can continue to act according to the previous plan. This can further test the safety protection system of Star Technology. At least it will definitely have a certain impact on their space elevator plan. And in the follow-up actions , we can continue to increase the types and specifications of drones to see if they can really achieve customized electromagnetic signal interference..."

Listening to this man's thoughts, many people couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

As this person said, although Xingchen Technology's response far exceeded their imagination, it does seem a bit too hasty to give up their follow-up actions now.

Anyway, they have prepared a very thorough plan, and the corresponding funds and materials have been prepared. No matter what, they will implement subsequent rounds of plans. If there is really no hope of success in the future, they will give up the plan. It's not too late.

Therefore, this person's proposal was approved by more and more people, which also made the FBI chief inclined to follow this proposal and continue with the follow-up plan.

Finally, with the support of most people, the head of the FBI made his decision.

"Okay! If everyone thinks this way, then we decided to continue according to this plan! Next, let's see if Xingchen Technology can expose some flaws because of this!"

…………

On this day, Ning Chen and Yue Jiafeng were chatting together during their break from work.

"Academician Ning, I am very happy that the last drone incident did not have any substantial impact on our space elevator project. Our lives have become calmer again for a while. I don't know if this means, They are going to give up their next actions..."

Yue Jiafeng was very satisfied with this result. Yue Jiafeng also understood that this was largely due to Ning Chen's incredible way of coping.

In Yue Jiafeng's mind, it was precisely by relying on this "electromagnetic wave interference" technology that no one could fully understand, which was almost like a dimensionality reduction attack, that the organization completely lost hope of attacking the space elevator project. Can have to give up the subsequent attack plan.

In fact, Yue Jiafeng also feels that according to the development trend of this matter, there is really no need to be worried every day in the future. However, out of habitual safety considerations, Yue Jiafeng will definitely not really let down his guard.

Seeing that Ning Chen didn't express any opinions on this matter, Yue Jiafeng continued to talk to himself:

"Academician Ning, according to our previous investigation, the source of those drones has been found at several locations hundreds of kilometers away from us. These locations are all within the scope of Africa, but we don't know what other connections are behind them. Don’t worry, Academician Ning, we will continue to investigate the instigators behind this..."

After listening to what Yue Jiafeng said, Ning Chen replied:

"Actually, we all know the approximate origin of the initiator behind this. Whoever can gain the greatest benefit from it is most likely to be the real culprit behind this. But there is not enough evidence. , we certainly cannot draw definite conclusions directly.”

"Yes, Academician Ning, this is indeed true. And according to the current trend, we may not be able to get any more clues."

At this moment, Ning Chen suddenly shook his head and said:

"Academician Yue, I don't think so. On the contrary, I think their attack may have just begun. And I think we can deliberately create some loopholes so that this organization can free its hands to carry out operations, thereby exposing Come up with more valuable clues..."

Ning Chen's words gave Yue Jiafeng a feeling of enlightenment, because before that, all Yue Jiafeng was thinking about was how to carry out safety protection work to ensure the safety of Ning Chen and other people in the project team, and would not even consider it. "Deliberately selling flaws" is a high-risk method.

However, after Yue Jiafeng saw Ning Chen's hidden strength, Yue Jiafeng also realized that many of his worries were unnecessary. Ning Chen was fully capable of handling these matters on his own, and he would handle them better than them. Out a lot.

Under such circumstances, it is indeed possible to try to deliberately sell flaws in exchange for more valuable clues, so as to find the real evidence of this organization, which is also a viable option.

"Academician Ning, according to the current situation, I will also support your ideas. But now I don't know how we should implement this plan specifically."

"Don't worry, Academician Yue, it is estimated that their second round of attack will begin soon. We don't need to show too much in it, just basically follow the last counterattack method and sell some flaws. As for the specific implementation method of the plan, I will take care of it myself."

Seeing Ning Chen's confident look, Yue Jiafeng no longer worried about anything, and decided to let Ning Chen continue to deal with this matter.

"Okay, Academician Ning, I won't worry about these things anymore. Of course, if Academician Ning needs any help, you can continue to contact me at any time, and I will spare no effort to provide help."

At this time, Ning Chen's expression suddenly changed again.

After spending so much time with Ning Chen, Yue Jiafeng has become accustomed to Ning Chen's special habits, and knows that Ning Chen must be thinking about something again.

"Sure enough, the second wave of action... is finally here!"

Just as Yue Jiafeng thought, Ning Chen was indeed thinking about something important just now, because according to Xiaozhi's latest tip, Xiaozhi detected a large number of sudden actions of drones hundreds of kilometers away.

The actions of the drones this time are very similar to the last time, and the source is still in several different locations, and the location is basically the same as the last time.

The only difference is that the types and specifications of drones this time are no longer as monotonous as the last time, but there are various brands and models of drones. If their models are strictly defined, there are even dozens of types, which can be said to be complicated.

Although Ning Chen has not yet completely determined the reason why they did this, Ning Chen feels that this is mostly because they want to increase the difficulty of Xingchen Technology in dealing with this drone attack, so they will adopt such an attack method.
