The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 390: There was no robbery, it was directed and acted by myself! (asking for monthly tickets)
There's something wrong.

Something is wrong!

Captain Kentaro Kobayashi couldn't help but shake his head.

Although everyone slept last night - or maybe just most of them, the captain reminded himself, so be doubtful.

After waking up, the first thing he did was check the route and coordinates.

It can be confirmed that the freighter was sailing autonomously last night and did not stop.

Is there any organization in India that can sail and move containers synchronously on the sea?

It was done so cleanly that no trace was left except on the hard drive!

Especially, if they did it, there was no reason for them to leave a note written in Hindi.

So it's a frame-up?

Mr. Captain has a huge head.

He looked around and made sure there were no more valuable clues, then returned to the cabin with the first mate.

He did not follow the instructions on the note and check the cryptocurrency wallet on the hard drive.

Not only did they not check it, they also immediately turned on their mobile phones to record the entire process and ensured that at least five pairs of eyes were always watching the hard drive - and they were five pairs of eyes from different nationalities.

Then he reported the situation to the headquarters immediately.

The headquarters was also confused.

They even have plans for when cargo ships are robbed by pirates, but where is the plan for this kind of supernatural incident where a container mysteriously evaporates?

——They immediately checked the AIS signal near the sea area last night.

But the scary thing is: there was no ship passing by there at all!
Not only was there no AIS signal, there was no record on the ship's radar, and the ship's monitoring system did not capture any valuable information.

If it was really a robbery, then this was a pirate ship that was invisible in both the real and digital worlds!
In order to obtain more information, they opened the hard drive while recording the entire process.

There is indeed [T-coin] in it.

And the number is quite astonishing.

If calculated based on the price of [T-coin] last night, the total value of this money has exceeded 30 billion US dollars!
After contacting Chenji Microelectronics Co., Ltd. for confirmation, they learned that in order to diversify risks, not all of the 10 containers were loaded with the most advanced 2-nanometer chips.

There are also many 3nm and 5nm chips.

All added up, the total value is about $25 billion.

That is to say, according to yesterday's pricing, these cryptocurrencies can not only buy these missing chips, but even exceed 20%!

The document on the hard drive also explains the 20% excess:
"According to tradition, you should tip the waiter after your meal, so the extra amount is your tip.

But I suggest you cash out as quickly as possible.

The cryptocurrency issued by the president is as elusive as the president himself.

If you're slow and the President's worth drops by 20%, your tips are gone."

The concerns of this "hard buyer" are very necessary.

Because after one night, when the market reopened, it is unclear whether the President’s net worth has changed, but [T-coin] has already fallen by 50%!

Now it’s not a question of whether or not to “tip”…

What’s even more troublesome is that the total market value of all T-coins currently circulating on the market is only worth 75 billion at its peak.

Now it has fallen by half, leaving only 37.5 billion.

If all the 30 billion in this hard drive were thrown away, it would be good if there were 10 billion left!
There may even be retaliation from the federal president.

——After all, most of the [T-coin] is controlled by the President, and he suffered the greatest loss when the value plummeted.

This will affect his ability to make money, and the consequences will be disastrous!

But then again - theoretically there shouldn't be so many [T-coins] circulating on the market.

Could it be that this hard drive...was actually left behind by the President?

The President of the United States robbed the chips of Chenji Microelectronics Company???

Things are getting even more confusing.

Is it the nearest Luzon?

Technically the most likely country?

Or is it India that is colluding with the insiders and outsiders?

Or was it a sudden whim of the President of the Federation?

……

Chenji Microelectronics, which failed to deliver on time, Xuyang International Logistics Group, which owned the Yinghua, and the insurance company that insured the container...

All the companies involved are in a state of panic.

As they were afraid of making a move, they didn't even dare to say anything and just held meetings frantically to discuss countermeasures.

But there is no airtight wall in the world.

What's more, this is a high seas robbery involving billions of knives, with such a bizarre process, and full of gimmicks and explosive points... No, it's a [high seas forced purchase and sale case]!

This matter was kept secret for only one day before it was leaked to social networks in both Xia and Britain.

At first, netizens from both countries did not believe it, thinking it was another piece of fake news made up by unscrupulous marketing accounts to attract traffic.

Especially netizens in Xia country, the reaction was even more intense:
"You mean... a ghost ship that no one can see silently robbed a cargo ship in the Pacific Ocean far away from the mainland?"

"It feels more like embezzlement, where someone on the inside stole the money and hid it away."

"Come on! It's not jewelry, it's 10 containers, bro! Where are you hiding them? In your pocket?" "My PY is very powerful, 10 containers are no problem at all!"

"Brother... Awesome!!"

……

These messy jokes continued for quite a while.

Until someone realized an obvious problem -

"Do you think: fog appears out of nowhere, everyone falls asleep mysteriously, and containers evaporate on the spot... is there actually technology that can do this?"

"So, Boss Xu has a large holographic device, and he can even create a snake dragon out of thin air, create a fog, or cover a few containers... It shouldn't be difficult?"

"At the April Fool's Day press conference, he also mentioned sleeping incense! Could it be that??"

"Don't talk nonsense. Boss Xu doesn't have any boats. The three wooden boats of Dream Building have just been built."

"That's right! Boss Xu is already working on brain-computer interfaces, so who cares about those chips?"

"That's right, stop talking nonsense. At that time, Boss Xu was still giving Fang Shuo a prize in the game."

……

After these voices appeared, a large number of news reports that were difficult to distinguish between true and false emerged explosively on the Internet in Xia Country.

[The Sakura heist worth 180 billion Xia Yuan! The perpetrator left a Hindi note to reveal his identity!]
[1 million T-coins found in forced buying and selling case on the high seas! “Presidential Coin” ushered in a selling spree! ]
[Statement from the President of the United States: Those 1 million [T-coins] are counterfeit, they are [Fake coins]! ]
[The Indian Express claimed: The person who planned this incident is indeed a citizen of the Republic of India!]
[India Today issued a statement: This is pure slander! Cow dung chips have excellent performance and there is no need to rob them!]
[The Jinghu sailing warship is progressing smoothly, Xu Meng personally appears to supervise]
[Holographic display equipment is sold all over the world. Analysis of the progress of technical cracking by multinational engineering teams shows that the United States is far ahead!]
……

Local media, self-media, TV stations, news websites...

Real news, fake information, and conspiracy theories from various channels suddenly exploded!
In an instant, the slowly connected "Xu Meng" and "The Chip Robbery" were separated again.

The previous discussions among netizens were completely shattered.

Everyone is so excitedly devouring global gossip that who would have the mood to pay attention to trivial matters like Xu Meng's "supervising shipbuilding"?

Only a very small number of people still wanted to show off their "excellent" IQ and carefully analyze "how Xu Meng completed the robbery."

But these posts will be deleted the moment they are posted.

In short, there is only one mainstream opinion on the Internet in Xiaguo:
I don’t know, I don’t understand, it’s irrelevant.

Don't get involved!
-

When it comes to watching the fun, netizens around the world are pretty much the same.

The overseas Internet is also in chaos.

Indian netizens have reached a climax and unceremoniously claimed the responsibility for the incident.

Although netizens in other countries generally do not agree with this.

But the fighting power of Indian trolls is no joke. They immediately started a war with netizens from all over the world.

Fighting alone against many enemies, yet not losing the upper hand at all!

……

European netizens reacted rationally, and most of them believed that this incident was closely related to Zhumeng and Xiaguo.

——After all, the value of this operation is too high, and there are not many countries in the world that can do it.

To be precise, there should be only two countries.

Considering the new technologies announced by DreamWorks, there may even be only one...

However, this matter has little to do with them, so they can just sit back and watch the fun.

The American media and netizens are not so good.

The original destination of these 10 stolen containers of chips was the west coast of the United States!

This is damaging our national interests!

They called loudly on the Internet, demanding that the federal government conduct a quick investigation and fight back against Xia Guo and Zhumeng!
Amid the overwhelming discussion, the federal government had to hold an impromptu press conference to respond to these calls.

Reporters sat nervously in the audience, worried that more serious conflicts would occur.

But the first words the spokesperson said stunned everyone -

"We currently have no evidence to prove that any country or organization in the world was involved in the theft of the freighter."

'A theft?'

The media people with a keen sense of nose immediately noticed this subtle wording.

Amid their surprised looks, the spokesman said solemnly:
"The U.S. company's goods suffered serious losses, and we are also very angry."

"But we urge everyone to exercise restraint and treat this incident rationally."

"This is the satellite image that the President requested. It covers the area within a radius of hundreds of nautical miles during the period when the Yinghua container theft occurred."

"Please note--"

"From beginning to end, no ship appeared!"

"We have to wonder if this was a self-directed or self-staged event."

……

'Of course not.'

The spokesperson was reading the script while speaking in his mind.

Just now in the Oval Office, the President, the Secretary of Defense, and the chief military adviser looked at the satellite images in disbelief and confirmed them several times.

After confirming that the "invisible warships invisible to satellites" probably really existed, their faces turned frighteningly ugly.

The President tore up the speech "Condemning Xia Guohe and Zhu Meng" on the spot!
