Chapter 292: The Dark Knight
The French emperor still had a lot of Parisian citizens missing, and thousands of people actually took advantage of the funeral of Napoleon III to demonstrate to the president, waving banners saying: "Mixed-race foreigners are not worthy of being the president of France, go into the wilderness immediately" and so on. In the era of Napoleon III, in order to attract hatred for Downing, the French propaganda department often led the French to scold him as a mixed-race wild breed, so this reputation was very loud in France, and the French understood it when they mentioned it.
Although the wording of those banners was not as glaring as it was in the days of Napoleon III, it still aroused the anger of the president. As he grew older, the temper of the Windsor Emperor grew, which was created by absolute power and could not be avoided by anyone.
The president must vent his anger, otherwise it will be considered a wasted trip, but he cannot use public power to complete this blow, otherwise his subordinates and the whole world will know that "the saint uses the people as a dog". Once a saint has a personal grudge, things will go in a completely different direction.
The first thing he had to do was to create a channel of funds suitable for private operations, a channel that would allow him to unknowingly establish secret societies and become the masterminds behind his work. Determined to hide his role in the process, he began submitting a paper titled "Untraceable Cryptographic Network Payment Systems" to the American journal Science, the most anti-Windsor journal, under a pseudonym.
Since it was anti-Windsor, of course, he would be interested in money that could be free from the clearing system of the Bank of Zurich, and in order to speed up the whole process, Downing sent a telegram to the mathematician and computer engineer he thought was good at it, using a pseudonym to "recommend" the paper.
The telegram address of a personal PC is real-named, however, thanks to the advent of Internet café PCs, Downing can easily hide among a large number of Internet café friends. Later, Downing also remotely hired several American computer engineers to push Americans to invent untraceable payment systems by various means.
Next, a private society founded by a computer engineer dedicated to discussing this payment system on the Internet, Downing naturally joined and became a celebrity in the society, as he published a blockbuster article on an anonymous, distributed electronic cash system.
In order to maintain the stability of American society so that his plan could be implemented, during this time the West Coast and the German ** regiment almost completely stopped marching into the eastern part of the United States.
The "Electronic Gold Society" was secretly funded to become an open society, and the development of a P2P open-source user group node and hash function system was launched. A computer-literate reporter at the New York Times was pleasantly surprised to discover this magical currency of the future, and with a strong push to finally expose the digital gold project to the eyes of people around the world.
The New York Times article ended with a prediction that "the Windsor financial system would be hit by electronic gold". The two anti-Windsor strongholds in the United States and Russia have supported this assertion in public opinion, and even the French who were not convinced by the "occupation" have joined this "hopeful" idea in the era of open speech.
Do you think, can those engineers that Boss Tang fancy not be masters? Soon, the first version of the electronic gold app was developed, and "unexpectedly" this app was actually approved by IBM and put on the app store in a grand manner, which many people found incredible. 【】
In fact, this electronic gold is Bitcoin, it does not have a central server, all currency generation history and transaction history are stored in peer nodes, and all nodes are assigned anonymous private keys according to the protocol.
Switzerland's oldest bank, founded in 1741 and now known as "Linen Trade and Freight Forwarders", became the world's first major provider of electronic gold services, because the bank recently had a major customer who handed over a huge asset of $2 million to them on the condition that Linen Bank would carry out electronic gold business, and that all his assets would be converted into electronic gold, and that the bank would provide at least one ATM in major cities around the world that could be used to access electronic gold coins.
The list of the first cities expected by a large local tyrant is: New York, New Orleans, San Francisco, Paris, St. Petersburg, London, Munich, Berlin, Amsterdam, Milan.
"Coincidentally", IBM, which has only provided ATMs for Bank of Zurich, recently announced that it can provide dedicated ATMs for customers around the world. In order to hide people's eyes, IBM's vending machines and other products are also fully open to third parties, and the world has ushered in an era of openness, but no one knows what the motivation behind this is.
Electronic gold has the general attributes of a Ponzi scheme, and those who enter the mining industry first will get the maximum benefits, and there will be no loss anyway, and the PC that joins the mining ranks is developing rapidly. Since IBM vending machines have developed a function that can support electronic gold coins for third-party customers, this low-cost support program quickly spread to many vending machines, and finally forced SoloStore, Solobar, Park Supermarket and other units to open electronic gold coin support.
Without the explicit opposition of the big bosses, these Windsor-owned products have chosen the best way for their own performance. It is also the way that Boss Tang expected, as the market value of the entire electronic gold soared to millions of dollars in just a few months, a black money circulation channel has been formed. At present, no one knows that this is Boss Tang's big deal.
The Times, looking at recent trends in electronic gold coins, asserts: "President Windsor never imagined that someone would apply such a financial system to the Internet and the PC he invented." The president has been smiling at this statement.
The most regrettable thing is that by the time he created a black finance, the protests in Paris had already passed, and the president, who had been silent, had won the reputation of "swallowing his anger". Many people think that he is really a saint. The holy is the real holy, not the holiness of the saints who take the people as the dogs.
The "Dark Knight" project will continue, and the increasingly distorted president decides to set up another major intelligence agency outside of Reuters, which will all use black financial channels for funds, and everyone hired will not know that their ultimate boss is the interim president of France who they think they are fighting against. A holder of the highest power in France that is generally considered illegal by the French people.
The Dark Saint will get a drone tracking system for the Dark Knights, a terrifying intelligence weapon that has never been seen before. In the past, UAVs were dominated by the peregrine falcon type that pursued speed and the octocopter type that pursued the load, but this time the air retention will be the core performance index. There is no better aircraft than a helium airship to stay in the air, so this time helium will be used as a lift energy source.
Because it is much smaller than the beluga whale, it had to be named "manta ray" when it was named, and it was also called the ghost manta ray by marine biologists. It is a large pelagic fish of the ocean, with a mild, carnivorous temperament, mainly feeding on zooplankton and small fish, with a wingspan of up to 3 meters. This wingspan is about the same size as the drone designed by Downing, and the name is even more evocative.
The manta rays slowly devoured small fish in the upper layers of the ocean, which was so similar to the intelligence drone that Downing imagined. Downing wanted to use manta rays to track targets one-on-one, so it was necessary to develop cameras, which had already been realized in the digital Leica real room, and all that was needed was to transmit a large number of video signals from the air to the ground control center.
In order to control the size of the packet, under normal circumstances, the manta ray will transmit a slow black and white camera, enough to track the target without losing it, and the characters in the video seem to be very fast and clumsy. The focus area becomes a positive velocity color camera to capture more image detail. In addition to this, there are high-speed camera and photo modes.
With the manta ray, the tracker can spy on the target. Of course, a qiē must be without the other party's knowledge, otherwise they can run to the vegetable market where there is shelter and evaporate. Therefore, the manta ray's deployment should be quietly floating three thousand meters above the target, with its three-meter-long wingspan, plus it is painted in the color of the sky, the blue manta ray is dispatched on a sunny day, and the gray manta ray is dispatched on a cloudy day, and it is random at night, so it is difficult to be detected at this altitude.
Even if it is discovered, it is obviously impossible for the manta ray to have only one, and it can be cleared of its suspicion through plans such as changing the guard. What's more, there are all kinds of reasons, what air traffic control, normal aerial photography, navigation for the drone that delivers the package.
In the early days of the Dark Knight project, 20 Manta Ray spy airships will be deployed to cruise in the 20 traditional districts of Paris, giving an unobstructed view of the "cultural landscape" of the entire Parisian city. As the master of these manta rays, the Dark Knight King will look down on Paris from the perspective of a god, and he can look wherever he wants, and the entire ancient and majestic metropolis of Europe is completely hidden.
If there is such a good thing on the days when the Parisians are in trouble, the knight king can vent his anger on anyone who dares to demonstrate. Of course, it's not about killing anyone, snooping itself is a great deterrent, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves. Maybe the knight king can find out something like someone's cheating, and expose it with despicable means, which can ruin a person's family and life.
The Dark Knight King's executive team is a group of people with various names hidden in the streets, including private detective agencies, law firms, credit companies, insurance companies, consulting firms, and all kinds of agencies that have an excuse to operate around the city. It's hard for them to find out what they have in common, they don't know each other, and maybe they don't talk face-to-face when they do something together. The only common denominator is the use of electronic gold coins as the main source of income.
The Dark Knights will not know that they are looking down from above during a peeping mission, as the high-powered binoculars on the spy airship will make the Knights think they are working from a high-rise building. The person in charge of the operation and maintenance of the airship only knew that he was flying something with detention as the main function, and did not know that the aerial camera on it was stored.
After deploying these things, the Knight King was in a good mood, okay, now whoever dares to take the lead in brushing the tiger whiskers of the Emperor of Windsor, the Emperor can play the game of the saint using the people as dogs. Unfortunately, no one has hit the muzzle of the gun now, and the Dark Saint has to have some fun on his own, such as going to spy on an old friend.
Paris now has a very interesting old friend, Eugenie, and Downing now wonders if he can recognize the beauty who is over forty years old at first sight. After the funeral of the husband of the abdicated emperor, in view of the leniency of His Excellency the President, she chose to stay, because Paris still had a lot of business in her Montiro's family, and it was clear that Donald had never been in the habit of confiscating other people's property, and could not commit it at all.
For the first time, instead of asking the familiar assistants where Lady Eugenie lived now, Lao Cai turned the question to the Dark Knights. Soon, the Dark Knight of the 7th arrondissement of Paris answered Lao Cai's question, because Eugenie's business and residence were located in the 7th arrondissement.
Tong guò manta ray has not been enjoyable after watching it from a distance, and His Royal Highness the Knight King always feels that she should not be so beautiful, as if her sons are already more than ten years old. As a result, there was an "encounter" that was more than ten years late.
On this day, Eugenie came out of the store where she kicked Uvitton, a brand that she was popular with when she was queen, and she is still polite to Eugenie, she seems to have ordered a new batch of suitcases, not knowing where this is going.
Tang Ning just wanted to take a look, but Eugenie's sharp eyes actually spotted him sitting in the jaguar off-road vehicle, and after being stunned for a moment, she walked towards him unceremoniously.
The Knight King naturally didn't twist, and generously lowered the window, looking at the "old friend" with a complicated expression, full of emotion.
"Your Excellency the President also drives himself?" Eugenie's voice was quite calm, and she wore a black dress, which made her even more dusty. Her voice no longer has the sweetness it had when she was a girl, but it's still good.
Downing: "Sometimes...... How have you been doing? He seemed to notice her colorless costume.
Eugenie laughed at herself but still replied calmly: "Thanks to you, life is not very good. ”
Tang Ning sighed lightly: "I'm sorry...... Believe me, though, I never thought of dealing with your husband, and when we were young, our love affair didn't begin at all, and it wasn't my turn to eat the vinegar of the Emperor of France. ”
Eugenie: "I know...... But he eats your jealousy, and I've repeatedly reminded him not to do anything with you, but he just won't listen. What can I do? Perhaps, this is my life, alas......"
Downing: "It's his fate. You...... Rest assured, no one will bully you in Paris. ”
Eugenie seemed to be a little moved, and said softly, "Thank you." ”
The two were silent for a while, and Eugenie took the initiative to say, "You can send me home." "The other ones she had had their own cars nearby, but that's what she said, and Downing knew about it, and the Dark Knight King knew too much.
