Just as Shi Fengyue expected, even though it was an emergency meeting, the previous procrastination continued and there were many quarrels. Representatives of various countries either spoke elegantly or argued fiercely over the microphone for the interests of their own countries. In short, the meeting did not get down to business until the afternoon of the second day.
Why was it half a day earlier? Because DTW appeared again. It cracked the arsenals of all countries participating in the United Nations Conference except Xingguo, and tampered with the data to allow an anti-submarine aircraft of Country A to drop two bombs while flying over a canyon famous for its scenery. There were no human casualties, but many wild protected animals were injured or killed.
This explosion caused an uproar in the United Nations General Assembly and successfully made Country A point the finger at Xingguo again. The reason was simple: Our country is in trouble, but your Xingguo is fine. Do you believe that you are innocent when you say you are innocent?
The Xingguo representative calmly replied: I believe it.
Behind him, a stranger who was attending the meeting for the first time came forward with a notebook in his hand, asked the chairman's permission, and turned on the projector. Everyone was confused, and the screen showed the record of DTW system attacks on Xingguo since May this year, including the weapons depot, almost most of the political and military bases including important research institutes have been attacked.
This is filtered information, and it shows the addresses that the country has put on the table. However, representatives of various countries are well aware that Xingguo will never put out only one set of information. Sure enough, the next second, the screen flashed, and the entire process of the DTW system attempting to invade the intranet of a certain research institute to obtain the key to an important laboratory appeared at the top of the screen. Then, the process of the attack on the various base research institutes was displayed in neat order from left to right and from top to bottom, just like a surveillance camera.
The representatives from various countries who did not understand computers could only see lines of code jumping rapidly in dozens of boxes, which almost blinded people when put together. However, the unfamiliar faces following them were all in contrast to their previous bored expressions. They widened their eyes and stretched their heads to look at the screen. Some even snatched paper and pen from the hands of representatives of other countries, and calculated rapidly while looking at their subordinates, muttering something. The fanaticism of their expressions made the representatives of other countries who had quarreled with this country's representatives for more than ten times in two days and wanted to get the paper and pen back give up in disappointment. It was nothing more than that. This guy didn't look mentally normal, and it would be ugly if they fought later.
After he finished complaining, he consciously regained the calm and elegance he had before a minute ago when a hand suddenly snatched away his paper and pen, causing him to jump up in fright and almost fall off the chair. He straightened the hem of his suit, raised his chin slightly and sat down.
“It’s so beautiful!”
Before his butt even touched the chair, he was startled again by a loud shout next to him. He looked around in confusion and was about to startle his voice in anger, only to find that the person shouting was an expert in their country's computer field. Currently, the people who are famous in the domestic computer field are either his students or his students' students. In short, there is no one he can shout for.
"Genius! This is absolutely genius!"
“I have never seen such beautiful code.”
"He must be an artist, absolutely the sexiest man in the world, and if I were fifty years younger, he would definitely be the man of my dreams."
The old professor in his seventies with all-white blond hair showed such an intoxicated look, which made the representative feel a little uncomfortable. He really couldn't understand how someone he had never met and didn't even know whether she was a man or a woman or how old she was could suddenly become his sexy dream lover. If he didn't ask his wife's opinion, he should at least ask the dream lover herself whether she agreed or not, right?
However, the professor was not the only one who sighed. The identities of these unidentified strangers were all exposed at this moment, but no representative of any country went back to catch the rival country's fault. At this time, even if an outsider could not understand even a line of code on the screen, their keen political sense also made them realize that the code flashing on the screen was not simple.
The representative of Country A reacted immediately and interrupted the black guy who was calculating something: "What's on it?"
The black guy was very unhappy, but still replied: "This is the most powerful network attack and defense I have ever seen. If the professors at the school saw this, they would tear up our original textbooks."
The representative of Country A reacted quickly. Thinking about what the man who took out the computer from Xingguo had said before, he quickly realized which two parties the attackers and defenders were referring to. He immediately asked the question he was most eager to know: "If you were asked to be the attacker or defender against the two parties on the screen, could you do it?"
The black guy looked at the representative of Country A as if he were an idiot. After a while, he kindly replied, "Believe me, no one can do it. I mean no human being can do it."
The representative of Country A did not believe it: "Although the battle here is between systems, the systems were also created by humans. If the systems can do it, how can humans not do it?"
Black guy: "The maximum computing speed of a computer can exceed 120 quadrillion times per second. Can you do it?"
The representative of Country A remained silent. The same meaning but different questions appeared in the dialogues between representatives of various countries and experts. Representatives of other countries also remained silent.
The representative from Xingguo sat calmly on the side, drinking wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea, waiting for the representatives from various countries to react, and occasionally chatting and laughing with the people around him. He was the most unusual scene in the entire meeting.
The anxious representatives of other countries were furious and urged the meeting to proceed faster.
The co-chairs invited the Xingguo representative to continue speaking. The Xingguo representative stood up calmly and said, "As you can see, the DTW system has attacked us many times. We learned from the experience during the attacks and were able to survive this global disaster."
"Everyone has seen the threat of the DTW system. Its existence is a huge threat to the entire Earth and all of humanity. According to our analysis, it comes from an alien galaxy with a higher level of civilization. Its purpose of staying on Earth is to collect and analyze Earth's resources. Once it sends the Earth's location to its home planet, what awaits us is very likely extinction."
Representatives from other countries sang a different tune: "How can you be sure that planets with advanced civilizations are unwilling to communicate with Earth in a friendly manner? Perhaps we can find a way to coexist harmoniously."
Representative Xingguo smiled and said, "Have you communicated with the turkey that appeared on your table yesterday?"
The representative of another country's face changed slightly: "The turkey is just food. Even if it is an animal, how can I communicate with it?"
"Yes." The smile on the Xingguo representative's face disappeared. "For us, the only use of creatures other than humans is to be used by humans. They can be pets, food, research or ornamental, etc., but no one wants to communicate with them on an equal footing, because our level of technology is not yet able to allow us to communicate. But I would like to ask you, if one day we can understand what animals and plants say, will they no longer be our pets, food, or experimental subjects?"
Everyone has the answer in their hearts. There is no equal communication in the food chain. Animals survive on instinct, and so do humans. Even animals and plants can speak. For the sake of survival and profit, humans may make them assist humans, but will never put them on the other side of equality.
How can it not be the same for those planets with a much higher level of civilization than theirs? Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. This is true between countries, not to mention planets in different galaxies. The weapons and technology possessed by the other side are far beyond their ability to resist. The only thing they can do is to prevent other planets from finding them when they are weak.
The meeting went smoothly at this point. Representatives from all countries realized the urgency of time, and the meeting progress was accelerated infinitely. Before the evening, a preliminary resolution had been reached.
——Xingguo agreed to open all the information of the DTW system, and representatives of various countries, led by Country A, also took a step back and agreed to share information in other countries' strongest research fields except computer science.
Agreement was reached on data sharing, but disputes arose again in other areas.
