Chapter 1347 - A Grand Present (2/2)

Since Thomas was certain there was no problem with these servers, in order to cooperate with the media on the investigation process with more transparency, he specially brought the projector from the conference room and projected the interface of the terminal onto the white screen.

In order to avoid suspicion, the experts appointed by the Associated Press were selected last to go.

The first to examine the servers was the expert appointed by AFP.

After Thomas had the server plugged in, the curly-haired French expert pressed the power button and stepped forward in a responsible manner. After about half an hour, the expert finally shook his head, walked back to the AFP reporter, and gave a rather conservative answer.

“From the program, I don’t see any problems. At least for now, it can be proved that there is no T virus data in these servers.”

The next one up was an expert from Hua.

The information technology expert also stepped forward to check carefully, but the result was the same as the previous French expert’s conclusion. However, he still had doubts about whether the UA had committed fraud, as the expert said.

“There is no problem with the software. I’m requesting permission to disassemble the server and check the hardware to define the source of these servers—”

“Request rejected.” Thomas said without hesitation, “All inspections are limited to a software perspective. This is our bottom line! We can’t allow you to do something on our server because of your unprovoked accusations.”

The expert was forcefully removed, and a British expert was up next.

The first two experts had done their best, and the British expert obviously did not look too confident. After he had operated on the terminal for some time, he shook his head and gave his spot to the expert from the UA.

When Thomas saw that the expert appointed by his side step up, there was a triumphant smile on his face

At this moment, he could already conclude that they have won this round of confrontations.

Celestial Trade may be betting that they will not open the barracks, or they may be waiting for an opportunity to enter the military base and get their hands on the servers, but no matter what the calculations they had a minute ago, when the last expert started to operate on the terminal, they lost all chances of winning.

In the sight of Lieutenant General Thomas and Major General Howard, the expert appointed by the Associated Press stood forward.

The old man over fifty years old pushed his glasses, walked to the camera, and spoke slowly.

“The first three experts didn’t see any problems. I don’t think I can find anything either.”

After a pause, the information technology expert from California shrugged, and then said, “From the beginning, I thought it was a farce, and now it seems that there is nothing wrong with my inference. Someone tried to pour dirty water and obviously, they have shot themselves in the foot. However, in a responsible manner, I will follow-through with the inspection process to the end.”

As he spoke, he coughed slightly, straightened his collar, and walked to the terminal connected to the servers.

“Then, I’ll restart the server first.”

As he spoke, he pressed the reset button.

Just like the previous few times, the green signal light turned on, and the servers were operating stably.

When Mr. Tanaka was deleting the T virus data, he formatted the server quite thoroughly and did not leave any clues that may connect it back to the T virus. If it were not for special means, with several days or even months of hard work, it was impossible to restore the formatted data.

When the Hua expert proposed to disassemble the machine, it could have been a good way to prove that the servers were from Takeda Pharmaceuticals, but the UA would never agree with this request. Even if everyone was reluctant to accept the truth, they could only watch as the restart button was being pressed and wait for Thomas to proclaim his “victory”.

But at this moment, the UA expert was stunned.

Thomas and Howard were stunned.

Everyone was stunned.

As well as people who were in other parts of Nippon and even around the world that watched the broadcast live.

The start-up screen was still the same, and the interface did not change.

However, a line of words popped out on the screen and stung…

[T virus database, restarting…]

[Restart successful, loading…]

A long stream of data spewed out from the text box on the left side of the screen, and the rotating three-dimensional image on the right side was the morphological structure of the T virus and the RNA molecular chain. At this moment, all this data was projected on to the white screen.

Thomas’s eyes turned red, and he rushed to unplug the power, but it was too late.

The ten media companies on the scene were all live broadcasting this event, and this scene had been broadcasted to every corner of the world.

The UA expert was completely dazed as his finger still hovered above the restart button.

He had yet to recover from the fact that…

He had done a huge favor for humanity…
