Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1340 Searching for the Scapegoat (5600+ words)

However, Sophie still faces a problem: how to explain this to her family.

The Pierre family, though technically the Red Earl's puppet white gloves.

But it's not the kind of pure puppet show assistant!

Only the core members of the Pierre family knew about their relationship with the Red Earl.

Other members of the Pierre family also have ventures outside the family.

To be honest, Sophie hates Yang Bo more.

Because the Red Earl was only a core member who controlled the Pierre family.

Yang Bo's net not only contained information about all members of the Pierre family, but also information about their clients and other things.

Sophie sometimes felt so angry that she wanted the Pierre family to self-destruct.

But Sophie was also afraid that if her family self-destructed, it would have no impact on anyone else!
First, other families that have a good relationship with the Pierre family will take immediate measures to sever ties with them!

Furthermore, the alliance can't do anything about the Red Earl; even if they capture the Red Earl's men, they can't find the Red Earl himself.

As for Yang Bo, he might erase all traces of him immediately.

Then this damn guy made some private deals with other people.

And then this guy was completely fine!

After all, Yang Bo's hacking skills are too strong, and the entire alliance needs his hacking skills!
Yang Bo can also sign a plea agreement!
"Damn it!" Sophie thought of Yang Bo, her pretty face contorted with hatred as she gritted her teeth. She had gone from hunter to prey in the blink of an eye.

The entire family has become prey for others!

After gritting her teeth, Sophie considered how to reveal Yang Bo's situation.

The key issue is that I'm afraid my family won't believe me if I tell them now.

"We'll have to wait a couple of days before we can figure something out!" Sophie was really worried; she could only wait for Yang Bo to arrive in a couple of days before making a decision.

Yang Bo unexpectedly received another piece of information from Sophie: news about their home planet!

The galaxy where the home planet is located has no space jump points.

Even at its fastest speed, it would take the spaceship four and a half years to return to its home planet from the nearest space jump point.

A round trip takes about ten years.

There are no other planets in a large area surrounding the parent star system.

There is ample evidence that space jump points are energy channels created by the mutual erosion between several galaxies.

The invasion of each other by two galaxies would appear very slow from our human perspective.

Therefore, we humans can hardly perceive the changes brought about by the invasion of two galaxies.

The three countries have implemented closed-loop management of the space jump points to their home planets.

The main reason is that there are significant differences between the three countries and their home planet!
It is said that the home planet was facing a major disaster at the time, and some people left in spaceships, while the rest faced the disaster.

However, the disaster that followed was not as severe as expected.

Those who left on spaceships later became superhumans during their interstellar travels!
Then some people's brains were developed, and they discovered things from prehistoric civilizations or other civilizations, and learned how to use energy from interstellar creatures.

Then mutated creatures were discovered on some other planets.

Those who remained on their home planet felt abandoned by those who left.

Those who leave also feel wronged, because leaving is also an unknown path!
Those who left also spent the darkest time in the vast star field.

Of course, those who were able to leave in a spaceship at that time were definitely the elite of society.

Technological development on their home planet seems to have taken a different path.

It seems to be because of that disaster!
In any case, the three nations in the interstellar space are still quite wary of their home planet.

Yang Bo became curious about these things.

What exactly is it that makes three such large countries wary?

Is it the effect of that so-called disaster?
However, Sophie was not clear about the specifics, because the trade volume with the home planet was very small, and most of it was just using the home planet as a gimmick.

"Could he be one of the rarest superpowered individuals on his home planet?!" A thought suddenly popped into Yang Bo's mind.

And believe it or not, the possibility is extremely high!
Because the environment of their home planet is relatively simple, the people on it have not been affected by any pollution.

Yang Bo is a pharmacist himself, and he knows that the pollution of a person's own body is also a major factor in the process of awakening superpowers.

The pollution itself mainly comes from two aspects: the first is from genetic inheritance, and the second is from the different planets it lives on.

The radiation energy levels and properties vary on each planet in the Alliance.

It is related to the planet itself and the planet's distance from the star.

Although experiments have shown that self-contamination has little effect on the awakening of superpowers!

However, Yang Bojue's influence was still very significant!
This is like conducting an experiment to cultivate fungi, but some other bacteria have been mixed in!
It's possible that contaminating bacteria have no effect, but it's also possible that they have a very significant impact.

The impact rate of the experimental results is only one in a million.

This is based on big data calculations!

For an individual, there is only success or failure.

Individual factors also play a role!
"Find an opportunity to stealthily board the spaceship and head back to the home planet!"

"Then we'll release another unmanned combat aircraft into space off our home planet!"

"We'll put a spatial coordinate energy stone on this unmanned combat aircraft!" Yang Bo didn't have many years to spare, so this was the only solution he could come up with.

Then Yang Bo read Sophie's memories and discovered that Sophie was in a dilemma.

This is also a difficult problem that Yang Bo deliberately left for Sophie!

He would only help her solve this problem when she asked him for help again.

The way to deal with this kind of strong woman is to constantly put her down.

Feeling great!!

Yang Bo was secretly delighted. This was a member of the Alliance Senate, one of the representatives of the Alliance's famous women's rights organizations, and a well-known strong woman in the Alliance.

In private, he's still obediently tormented by himself!

Because these people are politicians, they value interests more.

If you encounter someone who's been completely brainwashed by the Red Earl, they might just self-destruct.

Catherine had also been brainwashed by the Red Earl before, but after spending a lot of time with the nobles of the Empire, her mentality gradually changed.

Because brainwashing is a process, and it requires a continuous indoctrination of related ideas!

Once people have more contact with the outside world, they will develop their own ideas.

This is why pyramid schemes gather people together, even just taking them out for a stroll, to brainwash them.

Because once people are released, over time, they receive more information and stop believing in that kind of thing.

To put it bluntly, it's about artificially creating information cocoons, distorting things, and brainwashing people.

As for Sophie, although she was brainwashed by the Red Earl from a young age, she is, after all, from a political family.

These political families are just like those conglomerates; they teach their children from a young age that all they care about is profit!
As the Pierre family has grown up, their relationship with the Count of Red has become somewhat delicate.

Because the Pierre family had grown into a political dynasty.

If there is a safe way to get rid of the Red Earl, the Pierre family will do everything in their power.

Of course, the Pierre family didn't have a good solution for the time being, so they could only act as puppets for the time being!
After returning to the villa, Yang Bo went to the laboratory and then arrived at John Lee's fleet.

Yang Bo decided to investigate the Red Earl's background.

Yang Bo used the quantum computers of three Class B warships, as well as the quantum computers of the entire Gutra State, and a massive planetary surveillance system.

There are also several supercomputers on the planet Gutrabang.

The reason why Gutrak has several supercomputers is to serve gambling and pornography websites.

The optical computers in the planetary surveillance system are more powerful than those used in civilian applications.

The quantum computers of the planetary surveillance system are distributed, with some located underground and on the ground, and others in space.

There are several types of planetary surveillance satellites, one of which is a central satellite equipped with a quantum computer.

These satellites are primarily used for computing!

Because all the data monitored by the satellites are integrated together to calculate the results, and then the commands are executed!

With such massive computing power, Yang Bo was preparing to pursue Red Earl's information with overwhelming force.

Based on all available evidence, the Red Earl's base is in Madhya Pradesh.

Sophie was in Madhya Pradesh when she came to the Federation.

Catherine was also training in Madhya Pradesh.

In addition, some of the Pierre family's funds also flowed to Madhya Pradesh.

These funds flowed into Madhya Pradesh in various ways, but in reality, they flowed into the Red Earl organization.

Yang Bo didn't need to act inside the warship; he could simply switch to mechanic mode and charge up at the same time.

They used their photoelectric superpowers to probe the network of Madhya Pradesh.

While searching for network security vulnerabilities!

They directly used photoelectric superpowers to generate sets of hacking tools.

Yang Bo planned to investigate from several angles, the most important being the flow of funds. The second was to issue orders to Sophie and her group.

Thirdly, there are the relevant weapons and equipment!
The fourth one is Sophie's daughter, who was conceived using technological means. This institution is quite famous in the Federation.

Yang Bo had been preparing for most of the day, but he wasn't planning to make a move yet.

Because Yang Bo needs to find someone to take the blame!

And the pirate alliance that is currently at war with the Federal State of Madhya is naturally the first choice!
So Yang Bo registered another account on the hacker forum.

Then Yang Bo used this identity to send a message to the Pirate Alliance, stating that he had a vulnerability in the Federal Central State security network, and also sent a general security vulnerability.

Pirate Alliance also has accounts on online platforms!

Yang Bo believes that the Pirate Alliance also has its own cybersecurity team.

Of course, these people can become hackers anytime, anywhere if they want to.

Yang Bofa pointed out that this security vulnerability is a phishing attack.

He will then sell some high-risk vulnerabilities to the pirate alliance at a high price.

When the Pirate Alliance launched attacks targeting these high-risk vulnerabilities, they themselves were hidden within the Pirate Alliance's attacks.

"hey-hey!!"

"The Red Earl!!" Yang Bo felt very excited because the Red Earl was hiding his identity so well.

However, Yang Bo still believed that this Red Earl was still a member of the Empire.

Because the Red Earl's idea was similar to that of the most conservative nobles.

Yang Bo was unsure whether the Red Earl was the Grand Duke of the Golden Oak.

Because Yang Bo himself had never met the Grand Duke of the Golden Oak.

Yang Bo always felt a connection between the Grand Duke of Golden Oak and the Emperor of the Empire.

It seems to be more complex than it appears now.

Although, on the surface, the Grand Duke of Golden Oak has disappeared and has nothing to do with the Emperor!
However, the Grand Duke of Golden Oak's previous actions were all granted by the Emperor.

Without the power granted by the emperor, how could the Grand Duke of Golden Oak have grown so powerful?

In any case, there are many issues here that deserve further investigation.

"I wonder if we'll have a chance to take care of the Pirate Alliance along with them!" Yang Bo's idea was for the Pirate Alliance to openly attack the Federal Central State.

By secretly taking action, they could not only plunder the wealth of the Federal State of Madhya Pradesh, but also the wealth of the pirate alliance.

However, that would be too conspicuous and easily make people suspect Yang Bo's identity.

Therefore, Yang Bo plans to take a look at the information about Earl Red when the time comes, with his top priority still being the information about Earl Red.

We'll see how things go!

Then, after the Pirate Alliance received the message sent by Yang Bo via private message...

The pirate alliance is now in a difficult position!
Although the pirate alliance won a great victory last time, they did not gain much benefit.

Instead, it made his reputation even worse, even though his reputation was already bad to begin with.

The elders of the Pirate Alliance Council have been having a headache lately because the compensation demands from the pirate crews below are too high.

Fortunately, the battle against the Mineral Planet of the Madhya Pradesh Consortium was won.

Therefore, the elders of the Pirate Alliance Council did not pay much attention to the news after receiving it, because the Pirate Alliance had received too many related messages, some of which were pure scams.

These items were handed over directly to the Pirate Alliance's cybersecurity department.

The Pirate Alliance's cybersecurity department is really impressive.

Because the pirate alliance is actually backed by major conglomerates!

Pirate alliances are inherently highly profitable and serve as a tool to suppress competitors, so cybersecurity is definitely a priority.

After reviewing the relevant emails, the Pirate Alliance's cybersecurity department discovered that the sender was a newly registered account on a hacker forum.

It doesn't matter!
Then the Pirate Alliance's cybersecurity department began verifying this security vulnerability!
Because the security vulnerabilities are very specific, the verification process is very fast.

The Pirate Alliance Council was also taken aback by the assessment results from the street security department!
Knowing about vulnerabilities in a nation's security system is no small matter, even if they are just ordinary vulnerabilities.

Because security vulnerabilities affect the security alerts of the entire system.

Once network security is compromised, the pre-set alert procedures will not be activated at all.

The alert process does not start, nor does the defense system repair process.

Of course, network security is a complex system, consisting of more than one layer.

"Contact the person who sent the message and ask if there are any more security vulnerabilities or high-risk vulnerabilities!"

“Money is not a problem!” Several elders of the Pirate Alliance Council had their eyes light up after seeing the assessment results. The government of Madhya Pradesh had just received a large sum of money. Although the budget had been approved, the money had not yet been spent and was still within the Madhya Pradesh financial system.

The Pirate Alliance is currently short of money, and someone just set an example by robbing the entire state of Gutra.

Don't set your expectations too high; a little robbery will suffice.

The people in the Pirate Alliance's cybersecurity department then asked others to quickly contact the person who sent the message: "Are there any other vulnerabilities? Price is negotiable."

Yang Bo saw the message from the Pirate Alliance and replied: Of course we have one, but I'm afraid you can't afford the price.

Pirate Alliance: Since you sent us a message, you know our strength!
Yang Bo: Of course I know your strength, but you don't even have the money to pay the other pirate groups right now.

The elders of the Pirate Alliance Council personally reviewed Yang Bo's reply, though they were unaware of his identity.

After seeing this information, everyone felt a little awkward.

Pirate Alliance is just a platform; it doesn't have much of its own capital at all!

This platform is unlikely to hold much money because it's backed by major conglomerates. If there's too much money, who will get it?

Therefore, the major conglomerates are now required to provide additional funds to compensate the other pirate groups.

It was a contentious issue from the start, because these conglomerates had different proportions of revenue from their business through this platform.

So, if we're talking about who pays more and who pays less now?
If compensation is to be paid to one part of the pirate groups, will the other part of the pirate groups also demand compensation?
How should the percentage of losses to be compensated to the pirate group be calculated?
Is it considered a total loss or a certain percentage of the loss?

What standards should be followed?

Anyway, there's a ton of stuff to do!

And what exactly were the losses of those pirate crews?
Could someone be making false reports?
After all, these pirate groups would never allow the pirate alliance to inspect their base!

However, it is an undeniable fact that the pirate alliance is short of money.

Ask him how much money he wants!

"We don't have much extra money, but we do have several hundred billion credit points," the elder asked.
Yang Bo received another reply from the Pirate Alliance, so he replied: Hehe, hundreds of billions. The high-risk vulnerability I have is of immeasurable value.

Pirate Alliance: So what do you want to do?
Yang Bo: Five hundred billion credits plus a share of the profits. I know your Pirate Alliance is short of money, while the Federal State of Madhya Pradesh has just received a large sum of money, and the Federal State of Madhya Pradesh has so many financial companies with so much wealth.

Pirate Alliance: You make it sound so easy. Do you even know how strong a planet's security system really is?
Yang Bo: If our team weren't so small, we would have done it ourselves.

Pirate Alliance: You're afraid of offending the Federal State and being hunted down by the Federal State's financial groups, aren't you!
Yang Bo: Anyway, these are our conditions. I'll give you one of the high-risk vulnerabilities. You can evaluate it yourselves. If it's not good, I'll find someone else.

Yang Bo sent another high-risk vulnerability to the other party!
The Pirate Alliance's security department analyzed this high-risk vulnerability and verified its authenticity.

"Who is this guy?"

"Could it be that mysterious hacker from the alliance?"

"Don't believe the nonsense spouted by those politicians in the alliance. There's no such thing as a hacker god!"

"They're just scapegoats pushed out by the Alliance's security agencies; in reality, it was the Alliance's security agencies that attacked the Federal State of Gutra!"

"I also think it was an attack by the Alliance security agency, because many of the quantum computers and servers in the Federal State of Gutra are products purchased from the Alliance. The Alliance security department must have used a backdoor!"

“I think so too, otherwise how could one person possibly breach the entire planet’s defense system!” The elders of the Pirate Alliance Council simply did not believe that the events in Gutrabon could have been accomplished by one person.

Of course, this is also the incident assessment report given by the Pirate Alliance's security department.

"But those guys in Gutra deserved it!"

"They actually kidnapped citizens of the alliance. This is tantamount to forcing the ruling party to step down. The financial groups behind the ruling party certainly wouldn't want such a huge loss."

"What about the demands they make?"

"We can increase the revenue share, but we can't give too much money. Who knows, this guy might sell high-risk vulnerabilities to us first, and then sell them to the Federation later."

"Yes, yes!" The other elders of the Pirate Alliance Council all agreed to the plan.

Yang Bo negotiated with the pirate alliance again and finally reached an agreement: 10 billion credits, with a 10% share.

Then Yang Bo sent a series of high-risk vulnerabilities to the Pirate Alliance, including two extremely dangerous ones.

However, Yang Bo declined the pirate alliance's invitation to join them in committing crimes.

"hey-hey!"

"When the pirate alliance attacks the Federal Central State, we'll take advantage of the situation!"

"This time we're just looking up information on Earl Hong, but we can also plant hacking programs in Madhya Pradesh and the Pirate Alliance."

"If they can't do it this time, they can do it again next time, it'll be the same." Yang Bo chuckled.

Yang Bo weighed the options: although Earl Red could provide a constant stream of skilled warriors to train his abilities.

However, the Pierre family is now providing him with more assistance.

Because if they want to gain control of the Second World, they cannot do without politics.
