Chapter 59 A True Case of Being Scammed by Capital!! My Money!!

The press conference for Governor Ma has concluded.

But the aftertaste lingered.

The row of seemingly random lines of code on the screen didn't seem convincing enough.

Both official and public opinion agree that this turn of events was too abrupt and the explanation too bizarre. Most people still do not believe it, thinking that it was a scapegoat found by Governor Ma under immense pressure, or even a smokescreen for some more covert operation by the Western Eagles.

After all, the "mysterious hacker organization" and the "incomprehensible futuristic code" sound like something out of a science fiction movie, and their appearance in reality would be too abrupt.

However, the day after the press conference, things took a dramatic turn.

A joint statement from the Western Eagle Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber ​​Security Administration has created even bigger ripples, like a depth charge dropped into a pond.

The statement confirms that a critical root server of the Internet located in Xiying has recently been detected to have abnormal access and extremely minor data disturbances. After in-depth analysis, it was found that there were "extremely obscure and highly unfamiliar non-standard code injection traces" in its underlying protocol stack. The characteristics of these traces have certain inexplicable similarities to the abnormal code fragments shown by Ma Dugong yesterday.

The statement emphasized that the anomaly did not cause root server failure or data breach, but its advanced technology and covert nature "exceed current general understanding." A multi-party investigation is underway, and critical infrastructure operators worldwide are being urged to be vigilant.

Although the official statement was carefully worded, it undoubtedly provided some degree of endorsement for Ma Dugong's "hacker organization theory".

Such an endorsement is undoubtedly credible.

After all, although Ma Dugong is famous and wealthy, and deeply entangled with the Western Eagle government, even the deepest entanglement wouldn't warrant such an endorsement from the Western Eagle government. After all, this concerns the very foundation of the internet, and Ma Dugong is far from having that kind of influence.

Not only Ma Dugong, but no one on Earth has this weight.

It seems like something really big is about to happen.

Some astute observers and high-ranking government officials have begun to harbor some concerns.

However, things happened much faster and more violently than they had imagined.

Just one day later, a global financial tsunami struck, something no one had anticipated or could have imagined.

Zhongbenbi, the largest decentralized virtual currency on the entire planet, experienced a sudden and precise large-scale asset transfer on its underlying blockchain network without any warning.

Vast amounts of assets in tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of wallet addresses were emptied in a very short time and transferred to countless newly generated, untraceable addresses. Exchanges were in an uproar, holders lost everything instantly, market confidence collapsed completely, the price of the Chinese currency plummeted, leading to a complete collapse of the entire cryptocurrency market. Panic spread to traditional financial markets, and major global stock indices fell sharply.

All of this happened so quickly and strangely, giving no one a moment to prepare, and without any extortionate information. It just happened so suddenly, as if an invisible giant hand had gently wiped away the existence of these virtual assets.

Many people wake up one morning to find that their wealth, accumulated over years, has vanished without a trace. Security experts are frantic, having tried almost every method, but to no avail.

Ma Dugong's words seemed to have been confirmed, and global public opinion began to shift. Although doubts about Ma Dugong's authenticity still existed, they were no longer the mainstream view.

Moreover, the key issue now is no longer the Mars Live Streaming blunder. In the end, Mars Live Streaming was just for entertainment, but the sudden financial crisis and stock market crash affected everyone's wallets!

That's real gold and silver!!!

"My money!"

Jiangcheng University, Laboratory Building

Hu Biao's face was extremely gloomy.

The research group has been very quiet these past few days. It's not just their data analysis group; the entire research group is the same. There's no way around it. The things that have happened in the past two days have been too explosive, with one twist after another. Even those of us who are engaged in scientific research have lost our motivation to work.

We were all having a great time watching the drama unfold, until today...

The lifeline of China's currency was compromised, causing the global virtual currency system to collapse. Originally, this had little to do with Dongguo, since Dongguo, unlike some other foolish countries, did not treat virtual currency as a real currency.

In other words, the country's finances are safe, but even in the East, there are underground banks and money laundering operations, and some illicit wealth is transferred out using cryptocurrencies.

Furthermore, Dongguo's financial market is now inevitably linked to the international financial market. In the context of a global financial system collapse, it is difficult to remain unaffected, and the entire financial market has fallen sharply.

This is troublesome!

Hu Biao made a lot of money using Zhou Shen's notes, and a couple of days ago, because of the live-streaming incident, he heavily invested in several concept stocks that have even a slight connection to the pre-Qin period and the First Emperor of Qin...

Well, it's not really related, but the stocks are somewhat connected in name. In the domestic stock market, even without a concept, you can still speculate on related concepts. So a few days ago, he made a lot of money and experienced the thrill of being a "milk dragon". Other milk dragons use their words to manipulate the stock market, while he can influence the stock market with his own shady operations. This feeling is really great.

However, he did not expect that Ma Dugong's big blunder would end in this way, nor did he expect that someone would be so heartless as to directly eliminate the Zhongben currency. This result was completely unexpected, so he was also deeply trapped.

Money doesn't matter!

He doesn't care about money; what he cares about is face.

It's unbelievable that someone who can manipulate the universe has fallen into the hands of the A-share market. Where does that leave his pride?

Doesn't he have any pride?

If this happens in the future, it will definitely be a dark history!

Can this be tolerated?

Of course we can't tolerate it!

He wants to save face!

However, how to regain face is the question.

We need to know who to ask for our money back, right?

At this moment, the screen in front of him was not displaying the research group's data, but rather the mysterious string of code that Ma Dugong had announced.

Even seasoned programmers would find this code incomprehensible, but Hu Biao is different!

Although he couldn't understand it, he had seen it before!

Ancient cuneiform script is older than the known cuneiform script of Mesopotamia. In fact, it could be said that the cuneiform script of Mesopotamia originated from this script, the script of the first civilization, the Atlantean civilization!

How would he know these things?

Of course he's seen it before!

I've seen it in the materials of the Second Archaeological Institute, and also in the relevant research institutes of Xiying.

You don't really think that, given his nature, he'll obediently only spy on domestic research on prehistoric civilizations and not spy on foreign research, do you?

impossible!

He had thoroughly examined all the research institutes of Xiying and the entire Beihai Alliance. If it weren't for the language barrier, these research institutes would now hold no secrets for him.

However, these secrets do not include this blunder.

"Damn it, that damned Milk Dragon! To get Governor Ma out of this mess, he's gone to such lengths! Aren't they afraid of being suffocated by money?"

Yes, now he has turned all his anger towards Milk Dragon and West Eagle.

He was convinced that the events of the past two days, whether it was the SPACE X press conference or the news released by West Eagle, were all part of a scheme orchestrated by Milk Dragon or the West Eagle Empire to help Governor Ma out of his predicament and, incidentally, to profit from the entire Blue Star stock market.

Using the deciphered technology of the Great Western civilization, they erased the Zhongben currency and shorted the stock market of the entire Blue Star to reap the benefits.

Killing two birds with one stone.

Damn it, I've been tricked by capital!

As for how they did it specifically, and what their reasons were?

Hu Biao didn't know, and he didn't want to know. All he needed to know was that west Ying had set him up and swindled him out of his money.

"My money isn't so easy to take!" Hu Biao stared at the screen, thinking bitterly, the two "stone balls" he was holding in his left hand creaking under his pressure!
