270 Counterattack 2
Mr. Assistant had a habit.
When something was done, he liked to celebrate on the spot by popping a bottle of champagne.
In the command center of the global root domain name administration, Rafe, who knew Mr. Assistant's habit, had already prepared the champagne.
At this moment, a row of champagne bottles had already been opened in front of Mr. Assistant.
Champagne had already been poured into a series of tall glasses.
In the light, the champagne was brilliant and mesmerizing.
However, no one's gaze fell on the champagne on the table. Everyone's gaze was focused on the big screen.
On the big screen,
It was still the same world map.
The color of the world map was still green!
However, a huge yellow exclamation mark appeared on the top of the map.
Below the exclamation marks, there were lines of square text.
"Congratulations on the success of your plan!"
"It must have cost a lot to replace the branch domain name resolution server system, right?"
"It must have cost a fortune to produce the ROM system, right?"
"Do you think that as long as you deploy the system of the branch domain name resolution server, you can kill the Divine Dragon System, sell the ROM system, and regain control of the internet?"
"I'm sorry…"
"You're going to be disappointed!"
Below each line of text was an English translation so that everyone present could understand it.
"Rafe, didn't you say that the ROM system is absolutely safe? What's going on now?" The Assistant's voice was filled with anger. If it was absolutely safe, why would it be invaded again?
"Mr. Assistant, the ROM system is absolutely safe. He can't change the data in the system! This time, the hacker hacked the memory. As long as we turn off the computer, we can drive the hacker out."
"Furthermore, the hacking incident also proves the Divine Dragon's fear of us!"
"Other than displaying some text on the big screen, there is nothing much the hackers can do. They can't affect our system," Rafe said, sweating.
The Assistant pulled a long face. He turned to look at Hales, who also had a very serious expression, and asked, "Hales, can we restart the system now?"
"Yes, but it will cause the internet to be temporarily inaccessible." Hales nodded.
Under his instruction, the engineers in charge of the technology began to restart the server. The engineers in charge of network security began to pay attention to every piece of data that flowed into the server, preparing to counterattack the hackers.
Mr. Assistant kept quiet. Rafe stood behind Mr. Assistant, sweat breaking out on his forehead, and his clothes were drenched in sweat.
Rafe had been wanting to open his mouth and explain to the Assistant, but his face was grim and the atmosphere was very heavy. The air was so heavy it was almost suffocating.
In particular, the assistant's gaze was as cold as a blade. He kept staring at the big screen and didn't even look at Rafe.
When Rafe met the Assistant's gaze, his entire body turned cold and fear rose in his heart.
Hales was nervously mobilizing his forces to check the network security while paying attention to the activation of the system.
"The ROM system's activation speed is simply a pile of sh*t!" Hales looked at his watch again and cursed in his heart.
Previously, when he used the Divine Dragon System's branch domain name resolution server, the system only took 30 seconds to activate!
After the system was activated, the resolution service automatically started running!
The activation speed was countless times faster than the Windows ROM system!
Ten minutes later, under everyone's extremely anxious gazes, the domain name server system was successfully activated.
The world map appeared on the big screen again!
Seeing that 90% of the world map was green, the Assistant's expression softened a little.
"Mr. Assistant, we've already specially processed the internet. Only IPs in Sunset can access this server!"
"Moreover, there are three layers of physical firewalls outside the server. It can defend against almost all attacks!" Hales quickly explained.
Seeing that Mr. Assistant's expression had improved a little, Hales heaved a sigh of relief.
If Mr. Assistant got angry, Rafe would definitely be in trouble! But he wouldn't have an easy time either.
"Mr. Assistant, the Sunset's internet is mainstream again! The Iceman Project is falling apart under your attack. At the moment, it's just hanging on by a thread. It will soon disappear from the internet." Hales flattered him.
The Assistant looked at Hales even more gently.
When Hales saw Mr. Assistant's expression, he was delighted and continued to report, "Mr. Assistant! We've already completed our counterattack on the internet!"
"Next, let's drink to this and celebrate a little…" Hales raised his goblet and suggested to the Assistant.
The Assistant also raised his glass of champagne.
When Rafe saw this, he finally heaved a sigh of relief! The fear in his eyes subsided a little.
The atmosphere instantly became relaxed and happy.
On the big screen, in this relaxed and happy atmosphere, the numbers decreased bit by bit.
This data is the network device data,
It represented the number of devices that were connected to Sunset's internet.
When Operation Blackout was just completed, the access data displayed on the big screen was 30 million.
Just now, because of the hacker, the server system was restarted.
In ten minutes, the data of the access device displayed on the big screen decreased by one million units to 29 million units.
At first, Hulk, the employee of the command center, felt that something was amiss, but he didn't think too much about it. He felt that it might be because the domain name server had restarted, causing some computers that couldn't connect to the internet to be turned off.
Many people would choose to turn off their computers and restart when their computers suddenly malfunctioned and there was no internet.
It was very useful!
So Hulk didn't notice.
However, in the two minutes that Hales was sucking up to Mr. Assistant, the data decreased again to 27 million!
Hulk knew that something was wrong! Something was wrong!
Hulk shouted in horror, "Mr. Hales, you'd better look at the data on the big screen first!"
"The device connected to Sunset's internet is not rising as expected. Instead, it's decreasing rapidly!"
"What's more, the data passed through the domain name resolution server did not increase as expected. It's also decreasing!"
"Gentlemen, according to the data displayed so far!"
"There might be a problem with our strategy. It is not working!"
"We… are failing!"
After hearing Hulk's voice, the Assistant's smile froze.
Hales, who was holding a glass, also froze. The smile on his face disappeared at the same time. He quickly turned his huge body around and looked at the big screen.
His gaze landed on the data on the device. 28.6 million! Hales' face was filled with shock. He looked at the data on the big screen in disbelief, and his forehead was instantly covered in sweat.
There was only one possibility for the decrease in the number of Internet devices connected to Sunset!
The devices were connected to the Iceman Project server.
No matter what device it was, it needed to be connected to a server that could provide resolution.
It was either the root domain name resolution server connected to the Sunset or the Iceman Project's resolution server!
"Impossible, how is this possible!"
"The Iceman Project is completely useless! How can this be…" Hales's pupils suddenly constricted when he thought of a possibility.
"Hales, what's going on?" The Assistant asked with a dark expression.
At this moment, Hulk suddenly saw a computer installed with the Divine Dragon System for tests.
Previously, there was a notification window on this computer.
Notification: Due to network problems, the system can't be used normally.
And now, the notification window that occupied the entire desktop was gone!
The system entered the computer desktop normally without any abnormality.
"Mr. Assistant, look at this? The Divine Dragon System, it actually…" Hulk pointed at the computer and shouted in panic.
