Chapter 224 - Body Armor, Shuichi Akai

It's late at night, but Chiba's studio is still brightly lit

"Do you need a gun?" Chiyu listened with the list on the word document, and the armchair turned to the gray hara, who was sitting on the sofa. "You can't bring a gun when you travel, but you can still use it if you're at home to defend against intruders."

"Yes, a gun will do work against ordinary intruders," Gray Yuan nodded. "But... Can you buy me another body armor? ”

"Body armor?" Qian Yu frowned. "Who is your imaginary enemy?"

The body armor for Gray Plains must be soft, otherwise it would be too heavy for a small child. But soft body armor is generally made of Kevlar material, which is not good at dealing with punctures, although it is good for shooting... She expected to be shot? Organized inspectors?

“。。。” Gray Plains was silent for a moment. "Forget it, you don't need body armor."

"It's okay, I'll figure it out for you if you want it." Qian Yu sighed. "But there's no children's body armor on the market, so I'll have to figure out how to do it."

Speaking of body armor, Qianyu knows how to pile up top-quality products in a money-burning way - but really in a very money-burning way.

Some time ago, he saw a new type of body armor posted on the account of a master on the dark web - not so much a new type of body armor, but a creation of God.

A material is treated with high heat and pressure, and a very strong material can be obtained in the end. It is only half as dense as water, but much stronger than steel. If such a powerful material really exists, it will be the best body armor material.

However, the quality of the offer and the claim are equally staggering...

Qianyu has seen the body armor sold by the piece, and the body armor sold by the piece, but I really haven't seen the body armor sold by the piece!

$5,000 for 1 gram of new material body armor, this is the price offered on the dark web. A children's body armor can cost several million dollars ...

However, even if the price is so high, after considering its low density and high effect, Chiba can still consider buying body armor made of this material - after all, "only" a few million dollars, right?

。。。

Just as the Orange House was reflecting a glimmer of light in the night, on the other side of the globe, inside a building in Washington, D.C.

A middle-aged man in a black suit and an old man following him walked into an office — a young man with yellow skin and long hair was sitting leisurely in a guest seat in the office, but the color of his pupils indicated his mixed-race status.

“!” After seeing the middle-aged man, a look of surprise flashed across the young man's face, and his sitting posture immediately became formal. "Sir, why are you here too?" (There are no honorifics in the second person in English, so it's you, not you)

"Because the task is important," the middle-aged man sat in the office desk armchair, while the old man sat in another guest seat next to the young man. "Otherwise, James should have called you (the old man nodded slightly as he said this) instead of calling you back to the SAR to give the assignment."

"Is something wrong?" The young man's brow furrowed slightly, realizing the peculiarity of this mission.

"James," the middle-aged man motioned to the old man. "Tell him."

"Our network was hacked," said James, an old man. "Just two days ago."

"What network?" The young man keenly grasped the point, and if it was just the general Internet being hacked, it would be impossible to get him back.

"It's our nuclear weapons command network," James said. "A command network for nuclear weapons across the United States."

"You're saying those hackers have taken control of our nuclear weapons?" The look of surprise on the young man's face was even worse.

"Not to that extent, after all, the nuclear strike code is not placed on that network, but in the president's suitcase." James shook his head. "But even if they didn't get the nuclear strike code, they already knew the distribution of nuclear weapons in the United States, in other words...

"Russia or other countries can arrange for agents to work in a targeted manner to undermine our nuclear counterattack forces... When the old man paused for a moment, apparently letting the young man speak for himself, the young man did not disappoint the old man. "So, do you have any clues?"

"We countered immediately after we were hacked the nuclear weapons command network, and through a provocation they were able to reconnect to the command network through the same initial IP address, and we successfully tracked them down." James said. "Eventually, we locked down the big guy and managed to burn the copy of his CPU through a virus that destroyed his hardware by making the computer constantly calculate, and now the big guy is a mute who can only input but not output."

"Big guy?" The young man raised his eyebrows. "Is that a supercomputer controlled by a certain country?"

"No, no, no, if that's the case, we'd have taken countermeasures a long time ago, and that big guy is just a large central computer for enterprises." James handed him a document. "It is the central computer that the Tokiwa Foundation has placed in the Seitama Twin Skyscraper."

"What do you think?" The young man seemed to have guessed the task.

"Destroy this computer to prevent future troubles!" James said solemnly. "If this information is leaked, the loss of the United States will exceed hundreds of billions!"

"What if they've already extracted the locations by transcription?" The young man asked again.

"Uhhh James was momentarily speechless.

"They downloaded encrypted packages from distributed locations, and there was a 99.7% chance that it would take more than seven days to brute-force the password. (99.7% is 3 standard deviations from the expected value in a normal distribution, and 99.7% basically means that it will happen)," the middle-aged man said. "It's Sunday, and if you destroy this central computer by next Sunday, there will be almost no leakage."

"I see," the young man nodded. "Give me an action team and I'll get this done in time."

"Besides, one more thing," the middle-aged man said suddenly. "Those hackers most likely belong to the 'organization.'"

The young man's composure was instantly broken, and there was an undisguised look of hatred in his eyes.

“。。。” James was silent - the young man had not smiled since, having died at the hands of the Order at the hands of the young man's beloved woman at the hands of the Order, earlier last month.

"That's why I chose you," the middle-aged man continued. "I'm sure you'll be up to the task, and I want you to give me a perfect answer."

"I'd like to have another squad," Shuichi Akai said, looking up. "I promise I'll do my best!"
