438: Chapter 438: Brutally Tortured!

Brother Strikes Back!

The offensive was like a tide!

Fierce and ferocious!

A global electronic information war that captured the world’s attention!

Without any surprises!

The three behemoths, at the start of the battle, began to brutally gang up on the rising star of the industry, Tanglong Industrial Group.

So…

In live broadcasts by domestic media, experts enthusiastically explained, and people fervently supported.

In contrast,

Foreign media reports and the foreign public watching live broadcasts did so with a joyous tone.

They didn’t think there was any shame in three against one,

Instead, they saw it as three giants teaching a lesson to a reckless and ignorant brat!

In their view,

Tanglong Industrial Group was certain to lose!

Liuli City, in the field of high-tech technology, was far behind the developed Western nations.

This was a crushing defeat without any suspense!

But what about the actual situation?

The battle situation was indeed worrying!

The attack from the three behemoths was extremely vicious.

They even used equipment and methods, such as electronic interference and network attacks, that were reserved for military uses.

Inside the competition venue of Tanglong Industrial Group.

Although there were no visible flames and smoke of gunfire, the electromagnetic waves invisible to the naked eye were fiercely disrupting and suppressing electronic equipment, causing devices to malfunction and data communication to be interfered with.

If this were to happen in real life, then cell phones would have no signal, or the signal would be intermittent.

At such times, not being able to make calls or send text messages, let alone chat, play games, or watch TV, would be the norm.

Even under strong electromagnetic interference, the cell phone itself might start to fail!

If you turned on a radio, no matter the frequency, you’d hear the buzzing sound of a strong electric current.

However, that wasn’t all.

On wired broadband, the three behemoths were launching frenzied attacks.

Massive amounts of fake data jammed the bandwidth, many data floods crazily stormed servers.

In real life, if this situation arose, ordinary users would find that they couldn’t open web pages at all, let alone send emails, play games, or watch live broadcasts, because the bandwidth was being monopolized with junk data.

It was like a tunnel that was meant to be clear but was deliberately clogged by slow-moving heavy trucks, making it impossible to pass through.

Even more malicious was the Trojan horse attack.

The three behemoths had been immersed in the industry for many years, from internet communication protocols and network architecture to server principles and operating mechanisms; they were all too familiar.

Countless attacks surged like tidal waves, constantly striking against the servers’ firewalls.

Once a firewall was breached, with administrative rights taken away and the server’s data stolen, if they encountered someone ruthless enough, they might even leave a destructive Trojan that would cause the server to run over its capacity and burn out directly.

Now,

They were replicating the same tactics, using various hard-to-defend Trojans against Tanglong Industrial Group.

It was like assembling thousands of cannons and countless missiles just to blast open a small bunker.

Less than a minute into the battle,

The entire information networking equipment of Tanglong Industrial Group was like a small boat in raging waves, on the verge of capsizing.

To hold on, Tang Xiao quickly ordered the activation of backup equipment.

To deal with electromagnetic pulse attacks and full-spectrum electromagnetic suppression, they activated LPI low probability of intercept equipment, spread spectrum equipment, digital encryption devices, and more.

These pieces of gear were already weapons at the level of military electronic warfare.

Typically, such equipment would be fitted onto fighters, reconnaissance aircraft, warships, and other hardware, designed for warfare!

And how was the current situation not a war?

The attack from the three behemoths was so fierce it was on the level of a world war.

To hold against the mad network attacks, Tang Xiao ordered the activation of backup servers, utilizing the group’s independently developed firewall software and active defense attack protection system to fend off attacks while also counterattacking!

Less than a minute into the battle, they were already forced to use their trump cards.

It was as if the flood had just started, and they had no choice but to reinforce all fortification equipment to the river levees.

The floodwaters raged on, with even fiercer and larger crests and waves to follow…

How long could they hold on?

When would the complete collapse come?

Tang Xiao didn’t know!

Inside the vast tent.

Although the climate in Asya was very cool, they still set up several industrial fans to whir and cool the air.

The group’s engineers and the elite of the Electronic Warfare Troops were fighting desperately.

Highly focused, they constantly hammered at their keyboards, patching up, fixing leaks, adjusting parameters…

As the saying goes, a long defense is bound to fail!

The defense was hanging by a thread!

They wanted to counterattack but were utterly powerless.

Being attacked by the three behemoths together, they were worn out from fighting back.

One minute into the battle, all measures and devices had been deployed.

The fight seemed to be at a stalemate, but in reality, it was fraught with crisis.

The numerous elites assembled by the three behemoths would surely find a new way before long, thus organizing a new offensive.

Phew!

Tang Xiao took a deep breath to keep herself from becoming overly anxious.

Subconsciously, she turned her head and glanced at a camera set up in the corner.

She knew that countless nationals were watching her, her team, the people of Liuli City, battling the three behemoths!

But…

This battle was too tough!

It was even more difficult than previously anticipated!

The technology and equipment amassed by the three behemoths were the most advanced and powerful in the world, and their joint attack was even more terrifying.

Suddenly!

Cao Guanxu was drenched in sweat, rushing over hastily.

“President Tang, the situation is grim,” he said.

“At present, we’ve utilized all our equipment and every method available, but it hasn’t completely halted their offensive!”

“If we continue like this, I estimate we can hold out for at most three minutes!”

Three minutes?

Tang Xiao clenched her teeth and fists tightly.

Could the nation’s premier electronic information warfare team really only withstand the attacks of three behemoths for merely four minutes?

“Never mind how long we can last, just follow one rule, think of any possible way to counterattack, even just once!”

“Don’t get utterly crushed without having successfully counterattacked even once, making a joke of ourselves in front of others!”

Tang Xiao’s request seemed not too demanding, but it was sincerely difficult.

Cao Guanxu gritted his teeth and puffed up his cheeks, his eyes bulging wide.

Counterattack?

How the heck do you counterattack?

Pinned down by three behemoths, reduced to scrambling on the ground, battered into defenselessness, how could there possibly be any strength left to attack?

And even so, how to attack?

All servers were operating at high capacity, scarcely able to fend off the attacks, let alone able to provide enough computational power for a counteroffensive!

Moreover, we had no idea whatsoever where the vulnerabilities lay in their broadband and wireless communication networks of those three giants.

It’s like being a robber who doesn’t even know where the door is, how then to break in?

At this moment, Cao Guanxu truly wanted to use an internet catchphrase to express his frustration—

Your servant can’t do it!

But…

How could he dare say that out loud?

He had to charge in headfirst no matter what!

“I…

I’ll think of something!

Even if we’re mercilessly slaughtered, at least we’ll have counterattacked once!”

Cao Guanxu bit his teeth and quickly took his leave.

In this battle that was already viewed unfavorably, if they could manage one counterattack, it would be a dignified defeat.

Tang Xiao took a deep breath, her gaze icy as she looked around, her heart filled with indignation.

Electronic information warfare is a completely new form of warfare.

A myriad of equipment, tactics, offensive and defensive transitions…

The roar of cannons, the whistling of missiles, the screaming of combat vehicles…

Traditional warfare can be seen, heard, and felt.

But electronic information warfare takes place in the network, in the air, an ‘invisible, intangible’ fight.

One can only sense the overload alarms from the servers, the overheating alerts from photonic components, and the continuous clicking sound of keyboards.

The endless electromagnetic waves and electronic pulses are invisible, and one can’t touch the Trojans and data speeding through the fiber optics.

This new form of warfare, even with godlike marksmanship, invincible combat skills…

what use are they?

At this moment, Tang Xiao truly wished she were a hacker, proficient in network communications and software engineering.

“Hey, wait a minute!”

Suddenly, Tang Xiao realized, Wu Jie isn’t here!

She quickly looked around and indeed, he was nowhere to be seen.

“Dammit!

This guy better not be going off the rails again, planning to sabotage, digging up cables, or cutting power?

This confrontation is about technical prowess, we can’t allow any physical sabotage!”

Tang Xiao panicked, searching everywhere, but Wu Jie was nowhere to be found.

Upon asking Cai Xu, she discovered that Wu Jie had gone to the bathroom.

Damn it!

What time is it for that?

Isn’t he at least a pre-sales engineer, with some knowledge of network technology?

Tang Xiao couldn’t care less, she went straight to the temporary bathroom.

She happened to meet Wu Jie addressing his needs, as he opened the door to come out.

“Look at you rushing, are you having menstrual cramps?”

Wu Jie asked with concern while washing his hands.

Tang Xiao’s face was ashen, “I’m not having menstrual cramps, but heartache!

Do you know what time it is now?”

“Almost eight o’clock, right?” Wu Jie casually replied, “I came to take care of urgent needs so I can go back and help out properly!”

“Help out properly?”

Tang Xiao nearly fainted with frustration.

“It’s already eight o’clock and two minutes.

The three giants are already crazily attacking us.

I’ve used all our methods and equipment.

If you don’t hurry back to support us, we’re going to be annihilated!”

Wu Jie was taken aback.

“What the—”

“Stop swearing and hurry up to help!”

Tang Xiao’s eyes were red with urgency as she dragged Wu Jie toward the tent.

“Wait!

Let this brother turn the tide and draw the sword for you, slaying those bastards!”

As Wu Jie walked, he took out his laptop from his backpack.

Even starting up takes time!

He hurriedly returned to the tent, but there were no spare seats.

The laptop was powered on, time waited for no one.

Wu Jie quickly found a router and connected to the internet with a network cable.

He started fighting right there on the ground!

He didn’t rush to release Trojans but first examined the status of our defenses.

The three behemoths’ network attacks were relentless, continuously probing for vulnerabilities, trying to break through the firewall.

A flood of junk and bogus data clogged the bandwidth, frustrating any attempt at retaliation.

Wu Jie swiftly embedded his custom-made defensive software into the system to bolster our defensive interception capabilities and then initiated a counterattack.

He located the adversaries and sent over the Trojan he had crafted overnight.

First, he disrupted their formation, causing confusion in their offensive.

Meanwhile, Wu Jie meticulously scanned for vulnerabilities in their defense system while updating a data encryption package for the wireless communication network, ensuring the base station served only authentic data and was not disturbed by the opponents’ fraudulent signals.

…

Standing not far away, Tang Xiao watched Wu Jie sitting on the ground, continuously typing swiftly on his keyboard.

Pages she couldn’t understand, a string of various codes and data…

Tang Xiao couldn’t help but quietly admire,

“Tsk, tsk!

Good fellow, are you haphazardly messing around to get through this?

What good does this chaos do?”

“But this hand speed…

truly lived up to being single for over twenty years!”
