It's normal to develop some black technology in the future, right?

Chapter 439 Arrogant
"Can you confirm who did it?" Peter asked.

Military networks and civilian networks are two different systems. According to normal logic, even with a quantum computer and absolute advantage in computing power, they cannot be hacked.

Because the two are physically isolated.

Although the most important nuclear weapons were not compromised, the missile systems in the entire Asia-Pacific region were completely disrupted, which was an unprecedented serious accident.

"Alpha." The voice on the other end of the phone was calm, but as someone who had worked with the other party for some time and was the big hand behind the other party's promotion to the position of deputy commander, Peter could hear the panic in the other party's tone.

The threat from China is a future threat. The change of trajectory of nuclear bombs is terrifying and can easily lead to consequences. China's nuclear bomb technology is inferior to that of America, but this takes time and it is not something that can be achieved overnight.

The missile system in the Asia-Pacific region is completely out of control. This is happening right now and is an imminent threat. If we are not careful, the entire American armed forces around the world will be destroyed.

What makes Americans even more scared is that they have no idea how the other party did it.

Generally speaking, even if the other party can secretly find a channel to attack the military network, the attack will be recorded. For example, a missile launch requires at least three layers of keys and needs to be confirmed three times.

This time the missile system went out of control because the other party directly entered the correct key without any trial or error.

This would only happen if everyone in the Asia-Pacific region, from grassroots soldiers to mid-level officers to top commanders, leaked their keys to each other.

If there is another accident with the nuclear bomb, should the investigation start with the President?
Start from the president and go down? If even the president cannot be trusted, then who else in Washington can be trusted?
In the past, after taking office, the federal president has always said that the Maple Leaf Country could consider becoming the 51st state of the federation. If Lion City can even handle the president, it would be better for the federation to directly become Lion City’s 50th state, and everyone could just create a Lion City-American union.

Considering how the situation in Singapore changed overnight, Alpha Tech also got some dirty information that was almost impossible for the other party to get. Washington even suspected that there were people with special abilities in Alpha Tech who could directly steal other people's brain secrets.

"This is terrible news." Peter's sleepiness had completely disappeared. His mind was constantly recalling every word Samad had said when he met him during the day: "How do you know for sure it's Alpha?"

Although all the Federation's safe houses in Lion City have been disabled and all the Federation's personnel in Lion City have disappeared, Peter still has a glimmer of hope: what if it's not Alpha Technology?

In the past, Peter had often used robots as stand-ins to attend the board meetings of various companies he had invested in. Peter felt that robot stand-ins were a genius invention for people like him, helping them solve common troubles in daily life.

But at this moment, he hated this method so much, because he had no way to guess Alpha's motives and true thoughts by recalling the interlocutor's expression and demeanor.

I couldn't even judge the ups and downs of the other person's tone at that time.

"Damn robot." Peter cursed inwardly.

“From the perspective of motivation, technical prowess and guts, only Alpha has this potential.

The specific reason for this is that the other side launched a total of five missiles this time, and all of these five missiles landed on the high seas of the Pacific Ocean. The longitude and latitude of these five regional coordinates were decrypted using the base 64 algorithm to obtain the five letters alpha. "The voice on the other end of the phone became lower and lower, and at the end, the voice that mentioned Alpha was so low that it could not be heard at all if it was not late at night in the Asia-Pacific region.

"Arrogant." These were the only two words that flashed through Peter's mind.

The rules of the past in Washington have been broken so badly that now when the other party tells Peter these highly confidential matters that should not be revealed to outsiders, Peter knows them clearly, and neither of the two people on the phone thinks there is anything wrong with it.

Will the relationship between the provider and the supported change due to the change of status? If not, is it strange that the supported person tells the provider useful information to show his or her own value?

Because after Musk, the entire rule has been broken in this White House.

Musk not only seeks to make his voice heard in America, but also uses Twitter to frequently interfere in European elections.

In Washington, he "happened" to be there at events where the president was present.

There are too many coincidences like this, so many that netizens on Twitter complained that Musk is the president.

"I hope so. So Peter, what I want to ask is, have you got any news in Lion City these days?"

Obviously, the sponsor would not be so honest: "No news. I met Edward once, and he seems to have a lot of influence in Alpha Technology."

“Okay, I estimate that tomorrow at the earliest, the Federation’s special envoy will come to Lion City to meet Samad.

If you don’t have something urgent, it’s best not to stay in Singapore. If we can’t reach an agreement, no one knows what will happen in Singapore.”

Peter groaned, "Okay."

U.S. stocks fell sharply at the final closing time that evening, with all core assets falling by at least five percentage points.

Yields on American Treasury bonds with maturities of more than five years also fell sharply.

This is a very unreasonable phenomenon.

Because American Treasury bonds with a term of more than five years are long-term bonds, which means they will be redeemed in the future, they have been regarded as one of the safest assets in the world for a long time.

When there are unstable factors in the global economy or financial markets, investors will transfer their assets to the American Treasury market, and the risk aversion sentiment in the capital market will rise, which will lead to an increase in long-term American Treasury bond yields.

When the U.S. stock market plummets, American long-term government bonds also fall, which means that the capital market is no longer optimistic about the American market.

It has only happened twice in the past few years.

The first was when room-temperature superconductivity was invented and verified by the Chinese, and the second was when the Chinese successfully changed the trajectory of their nuclear bomb.

If we look back further, it happened once in 2008 and once in 2020, and at both times major events occurred that swept the world.

And today, such a strange scene appeared again, causing a lot of discussion on major American social platforms:
"What did Wright do again?"

Everyone's subconscious reaction was that Wright had done it too. "Are we fighting with China? The 10-year US Treasury yield fell basis points in one day."

Take the 08 financial crisis as an example. From 07 to the end of 08, a full year, the 10-year American Treasury bond yield only dropped from 4.63% to 2.23%, a drop of 240 basis points.

As a result, this time I killed 50 bp in one night.

"Or has China's nuclear fusion technology been successful? Is it meaningless for us to control oil?"

"It's a nightmare day, and even worse than a nightmare day, no one knows what's behind it."

The sudden reaction of the U.S. stock market at the closing yesterday made the outside world worry about this possibility.

Is it because America’s last pillar, its dominance in the financial field, no longer exists, and China’s technology has surpassed it time and time again, and finally the quantitative change has turned into a qualitative change, and the U.S. stocks, U.S. bonds and the U.S. dollar can no longer hold up?
The entire market fell into chaos and panic was spreading wildly.

Buffett's move was even more frightening. He sold off the few Japanese assets he had in one go.

".Wall Street was in a panic, the market was turbulent, and investors were in a state of panic. The source of this wave of panic has not yet been confirmed, and the move of investment legend Buffett to sell off Japanese assets in one go has added a heavy shadow to the storm.

From a macroeconomic perspective, the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy has become one of the triggers for market panic.”

The Wall Street media is trying to find reasons for the decline, from the Federal Reserve's policies to non-farm data, from the latest employment rate to the level of market inflation. In short, everyone has to take the blame. This is definitely not, and cannot be, a situation where the dollar, U.S. bonds and U.S. stocks are the only ones that are killing each other.

It was in such a situation that Susie Wells took on an unprecedented responsibility and boarded Air Force One specially approved for her.

"Mr. Samad, what effect do you achieve?"

To Peter Thiel's surprise, Edward was waiting for him in the hotel lobby early the next morning and said that Mr. Samad wanted to see him.

In such a major event, it is impossible to resist seeing the manipulators behind the scenes.

After hearing this, Peter didn't even have time to eat breakfast. He was busy preparing for his meeting with Samad and what information he hoped to get from him. His seriousness was comparable to his preparation for the interview for the Stanford professorship.

“Kami benci pada perang penuh pembunuhan!
kami rindu pada damai sepanjang zaman!”

It’s still a robot, and it’s still in a high-rise building in the financial center of Singapore, with an unobstructed view of the sea.

It seemed that he heard Peter Thiel walking in, and an incomprehensible language sounded in his ears. It was still a mechanical sound, but Peter could rarely hear a hint of excitement in it.

“This is an anti-war poem by my namesake, Mr Samad Syed, a Malaysian poet.

This is the last sentence of the whole poem: We hate this war full of killing, and we miss the peace that lasts throughout the years.

I hope my actions yesterday will bring peace to both of us for years to come."

Peter said calmly: "Sir, your actions yesterday seriously infringed upon the interests of America."

“Of course, when I have the strength, it’s a test, but when I don’t have the strength, it’s an infringement.

Now I think this is a test.

I did not launch missiles against American bases, nor did I use missiles from American soil.

This is exactly what I want for peace.”

"Sir, it's no use for you to tell me this. I'm just a businessman."

"A businessman who treats the deputy commander as a puppet."

"He is not my puppet."

"It's not important, what's important is that there is a possibility of a deal between us.

I know why you are here and what you want to get, and I can provide you with what you want.

I will get what I want, too." Samad's robot body returned to Peter.

After hearing this, Peter was surprised at first, but his surprise quickly dissipated.

Since the other party can even take over the American military network, is it difficult to know what they want to do?

The latter may be more difficult than the former, but it is obviously much more difficult to accomplish it effortlessly like the other party did.

“How can you ensure we get what we want?”

“To all the rivals of the Elephant Party, no matter who makes it through the Donkey Party’s internal primary election, I will provide you with a dark history that the other party will never be able to overturn.

In other words, even if the Elephant Party sent an elephant to participate in the presidential election, it could successfully enter the White House.

This is the chip I offer.”
