177 What The Hell (1/2)
At noon, a string of lazy sunbeams glowed on the yellow willow branches, and the wind began to turn slow.
”Damn cold!” Chen Fan pulled his black cashmere overcoat tighter and exhaled out white mist. After three days of journey, the electric eel had returned from the south Atlantic Ocean near western Africa to Zhongyun City, and what Chen Fan had to do now was to retrieve the recordings.
It wasn't a hassle to get it. He only had to use a tool to remove a piece of steel from the device's shell. The real problem was how to maximize the value of this item.
Clutching the 32GB SDHC storage card, Chen Fan went to a computer mall and bought two laptops and three gigabytes of storage.
Taking the capsule to the underground cavern. Chen Fan did copied the four audio files in it onto three storage cards with the newly purchased laptop computer.
The sound lines of the strategic nuclear submarine were scattered at random, and the background was chaotic. With the fixed sound of machinery, the sound quality was clear enough to open an ocean symphony.
Other sound lines were similar, with only a few meters from the propeller, and with professional recording equipment, even Chen Fan, a layman, could identify the differences between the lines.
Chen Fan decided had decided to put all four storage cards in this stone tower to ensure safety. After all, it's as powerful as a nuclear bomb, and it would not be surprising if he were killed if got out.
Lying on a golden stone bed, Chen Fan put his head into deep thought, and there was only one question before him. How could he send this voiceprint to the French government safely?
Of course, the important part was to make sure they couldn't trace his identity.
He was not a skilled hacker. Even if he was, it was useless. To the nationally trained network talents, he was just a piece of cake.
How could he make the French search for the location but find nothing?
After thinking for a long time, Chen Fan thought that it was only in the sea that he could make sure that his hiding place was not found. Taking the wireless communications cable as an example, even if others follow the signal tracking to the place where the signal was transmitted, they also could not find the real terminal. They would only look at the vast sea.
But there was a problem. If it were only to threaten pirates or a company, building a more than 2,000-meter-long cable was fine because they didn't have enough technology or manpower to investigate it.
But he was now taking down a strategic nuclear submarine, and attacking submarines' voiceprints to blackmail the French… they would be frustrated and would track down the culprit. Then, whatever military satellite would certainly dig up the whole sea.
The signal receiver was just over 20 miles from Zhongyun City, and the agents, the spies, would definitely charge to Zhongyun City.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, the length of the cable must be expanded, and it was better to connect it to foreign countries.
In this case, it could only be done using underwater fiber-optic cable, and then use satellite Internet to do the terminal. He was a few hundred miles from a foreign country. Who would be able to find him?
The cheapest underwater fiber-optic cable already cost 50 RMB per meter, and that didn't include the added expense of the layout fee. Five hundred miles long, about 46 million total out of the economic benefit.
But if he didn't do it. He couldn't hide his identity!
.......
”Haha, got it!”
Thinking for a long time, Chen Fan suddenly came up with an idea, then immediately excitedly opened the laptop, and began to search the Internet for information.
Half an hour later, Chen Fan smiled, controlled the electric eel and
returned to his home by the capsule.
......
Five hours later, Manila, the Philippine capital. It was 35 South Porter Street. It was six o'clock in the evening.
Alijo, was young teenager and the adults had not come home yet. So, he took advantage of that time to get on the computer and look at some wonderful pictures on some famous site in Japan.
Carefully closing the door, he went to the computer with a dry mouth, pressed the button, pulled out a crumpled note from his pocket, then shuddered as he entered the URL on the keyboard.
At the end of the buffering, a few young girls appeared on the screen. And even worse: the girls were all naked. The first contact with the charm of the Internet brings a rapid heartbeat, burning desire, eyeball expansion, and many other feelings.
A minute later, he licked his dry lips and decided to do a big thing, freeing himself from the fire of desire.
The phrase spoils the mood, from the moment it was created, was destined to be used in countless situations, such as the situation Alijo faced.
Just as the fire in his heart was just about to break out, the page on the 17-inch display, which had the pictures automatically shuffling, suddenly showed a few big words: unable to open the website.
”&#@*%@!” He immediately swore and felt like cursing all the family members of the internet company.
Fortunately, young people's vitality was very surprising and the could curse for a long time. The network did not improve, and Alijo simply closed his eyes, relying on the residual image in his mind to continue to do his thing.
However...
Things always happen at the most unfortunate time. When the fire in his heart was going out again, the wooden door of the room was suddenly opened with a key.
”Alijo, did you write... Ah... What are you doing!”
The whole of the Philippines' users encountered this kind of problem of not being able to connect to the Japanese network. It was not just him. The whole country encountered the issue at the same time. Only he was especially unlucky.
In the northern Philippines, the coastal city of Burgos, in a blue, seven-layer building called Philippine National Network Company, numerous employees were in a panic. The underground control room was blocked with three layers in and out.
Just five minutes earlier, they had spent large sums of money to lay the underwater fiber-optic from there to Japan. All of a sudden, there was a loss of signal connection, and no matter how the technical personnel tested it, it had no response.
”Was it bitten by a shark?” A middle-aged man in a blue shirt touched his chin.
”Probably not. Most of our fiber-optic cables are covered in underwater ramps. Even if they are not buried, we put the SK armor layer in shark-infested areas to protect them from sharks.”
The technician next to the slightly older technician shook his head sadly. ”Even if the shark bites, the signal would fade away, not disappear suddenly.”
The underwater stamping embedding method involved an underwater robot that had several rows of blowholes on its belly that would shoot water cannons to form cable trenches in the seabed sediment. The upper part of the device had a cable hole to guide the cable to the bottom of the sea.
”What's the reason? The message from Japan is that there is no problem with the base station there!”
”Let's measure it with the signal attenuation detector first!” The older technician brooded for a while and could not think of the reason.
Signal attenuation detector was a kind of instrument used to detect whether the line was obstructed. When a fault occurs on the line, it can accurately calculate the fracture distance.
Soon, there were three employees pushing out an orange shell half a man's height. Two technicians connected the wire cable to the detection mechanism with a detection cable, and pressed a few buttons on the device control keys.
Beep. beep… Various parameters first began to appear on the testing equipment screen. Five seconds later, a green line began to appear on the screen. The green line extended only a tiny bit and then was replaced by a flashing red dot.
”Ah!” someone next to it exclaimed. ”Ten point seven four kilometers!”
The network company building was 329 kilometers from the coast, which meant that the fiber-optic cable was broken in the sea at seven to five kilometers away. Knowing this answer, most of them were relieved since it was an easy repair. The area was just over 90 meters deep, and it could be tied to a cable by sending deep water frogmen and then reconnecting with a winch.
Half an hour later, a professional undersea fiber-optic cable repair ship slowly headed for the broken area. After the boat was docked, the two deep-water frogmen, who dressed like the astronauts, jumped into the sea with a splash.
Everyone thought it was a very simple project, and it would not take long for the cable to be recombined, and they would no longer have to put up with complaints from countless Internet users.
But their dream was shattered by the reports of the two frogmen.
The two frogmen had just dived for 20 minutes when one exclaimed through a communication line, ”We can't find the other end of the fiber-optic cable. The fiber-optic cable fracture position was a surface smooth, yarn at the bottom of the seabed. There are traces of a fiber optic cable was pulled out... ”
”What the hell?”
The technical staff on board was stunned. If this had been a Walt Disney animation, their jaws would all be on the ground. The fiber-optic cable was pulled away from the bottom, is this science fiction?
”Right away, we have to go along the cable and find out who has the nerve to steal international fiber-optic cable.”
To recover fiber-optic cable, you need to use ships, along with the route of cables, to hoist undersea fiber-optic cables from under the water.
........
Of course, it was not people that could do this kind of thing. It was the electric eel that Chen Fan controlled.
”Cool! The electric eel dragged the black fiber-optic cable that was as thick as an arm over 1,000 miles to Japan and was secretly delighted.
The cable too expensive? The international cable throughout the sea was abundant. It was easy to steal one, as long as he did not steal his own country's.
Now the electric eel had gone more than 100 miles, and the fiber optic cable on its claws had increased in length, and it had become more and heavier. Chen Fan controlled the electric eel to throw the end to the side, and then going to where the cable was still buried in the sediment, used its claws to gently grab onto the cable, and clipped it when the length was suitable.
Without the weight of the more than 100 nautical miles of optical cable, the electric eel's speed immediately rose seven or eight levels, and it took just four hours to swim 650 miles.
The electric eel opened its mouth and showed its teeth that were bigger than the door, and snipped and snapped the cable.
A total of 800 nautical miles of optical cable. This was absolutely enough for Chen Fan to do his mischief. There is no problem, even if he towed it to Japan or South Korea to set it up.
Chapter 177 National Cybersecurity
It obviously isn't an easy matter to move optical cables, each of which are 800 nautical miles long, into a cave among the reefs. That was why Chen Fan had decided to move them in sections.
The distance to the reefs was about 500 nautical miles. The electrical eel first drug one end of an optical cable, working hard to move it, towards the reefs. Once the weight of the optical cable had reached a certain limit and could no longer be dragged, the electrical eel would then drag the other end, before then switching again to the middle part. In this way, the optical cable could be slowly dragged towards the reefs.
By the time the two broken heads of the optical cables had been dragged into the big cave among the reefs, it was already almost midnight. After washing up, Chen Fan laid in his bed, making up his mind to get some equipment to connect to the satellite internet device when he awoke the next day.
Naturally, satellite internet devices could not be bought within the country, because each network card has a unique twelve digit hexadecimal network address that was designated by the network card manufacturer, during the manufacturing process. These network addresses could be used to control the host's data communication on the internet, and the information obtained could then be used to pinpoint the target's location.
This is why Chen Fan was prepared to buy it from Japan, since Japan was only a few hundred nautical miles away from Zhong Yun. Such a relatively small distance would mean that a two-way trip by the electric eel would only take around half a day.
Also, obtaining japanese yen was not an issue, as he only needed to go to an illegal money changer. There were many people who provided this service in Zhong Yun, and it wasn't as if he was exchanging too big of a sum. What was truly troublesome, was that Chen Fan could not speak Japanese! He could not even get a translator's help for this matter.
”It seems that the only thing I can do is to continue pretending that I'm mute!” Shaking his head, Chen Fan drifted off to sleep.
