After frowning and thinking for a while, Lin Feng couldn't help but ask Dormon William.
Domon William explained, "Nowadays, there is no basis for the ETO to grow. Even if someone has extreme ideas, it is difficult to form a powerful force, at least not like half a century ago, when they could use gene missiles and macro electronic weapons."
Simply put, people are living too well.
With the completion of research on controlled nuclear fusion, coupled with the concerted efforts of governments around the world, the happiness of humankind is constantly improving.
The 007 work system proposed by Lin Feng in the past would be considered an extremely cruel and inhumane act today, deserving to be publicly condemned. The workers involved in the Hong Electronics Engineering project have received government compensation multiple times over the past half-century for their participation in the project.
People have become more ethical with each other, and criminal gangs that used to profit from selling counterfeit goods, theft, loan sharking, drugs, gambling, and so on no longer exist.
If you can easily make money while lying down, why bother with the hard work and shady methods?
Not only is it hard work, but it can't be done openly, and you never know when the truth might come out.
In this environment, the world becomes exceptionally beautiful. Even if someone harbors anti-humanitarian thoughts, what can they do? Go ahead and do what ETO does all by themselves?
It's impossible. Even ETO needs connections to get things done. No matter how elite someone is, they can't be a superhuman who's good at everything.
"I see."
Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully.
"I looked at the data. During the half-century I was in hibernation, there were many computer virus killing incidents. Many people died, including a head of state. What exactly happened?"
Lin Feng looked at the 3D projection of Domon William.
Domon Williams replied, "This happened ten years ago. The Killer virus was spread on the Internet by a software engineer who was suspected to be from the ETO organization."
"A software engineer can create a virus that kills a head of state? And why would that person do it?" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, looking incredulous.
Domon William said, "So it is suspected to be a member of the ETO organization. The Killer virus can identify the target in a variety of ways and then manipulate all possible external hardware to commit murder, including dominating AI."
"This virus is highly compatible with all current human systems and can even bypass firewalls by simply changing the topology. It's really hard to imagine that a software engineer designed this virus all by himself."
"But according to the investigation team, the software engineer wanted to take revenge on society because his wife wanted to divorce him. After the virus was developed, his first assassination target was his wife who was planning to divorce him. He was eventually sentenced to immediate execution," Domon William replied.
In other words, there's no way to verify the truth since the dead are dead...
Lin Feng nodded in understanding.
Knowing the original work, Lin Feng naturally knew the origin of this virus. It was created by ETO, and it was very likely completed with the assistance of the Trisolarans.
Judging from the fact that the virus outbreak ten years ago killed a head of state, ETO still exists, at least it existed ten years ago.
In just ten years, ETO was dismantled?
If that software engineer is the only conscious ETO member in the solar system, then it means that the ETO has been dismantled.
If it's not the only member, it means that ETO is hiding even deeper.
"This virus hasn't been solved yet, has it?" Lin Feng asked.
Domon William nodded. "Yes, there are still people selling this kind of virus on the black market of the internet. All you need to do is input the characteristics of the assassination target into the virus after purchasing it, and then put it on the network, and the virus will start assassinating on its own."
"However, you don't need to worry about this kind of problem in space. Due to the distance, each space city is an independent local area network, and the systems are incompatible with each other. The same is true for each spaceship. There is no such problem."
It was for this reason that Domon William took Lin Feng to space not long after he woke up from hibernation.
Ten years ago, after the emergence of the virus, Domon Williams urgently assembled a technical team and, within a year, developed a ternary system that was completely different from the traditional binary system, which was then installed on various engineering ships.
The ternary system developed by Domon Williams and his team quickly spread throughout space politics after the Killer virus appeared in the system of a space city.
The Space Force has even developed spacecraft operating systems in decimal, quinary, quaternary, and other formats.
Due to system incompatibility and physical barriers, the Killer virus is confined to Earth.
It's not that governments around the world don't want to completely eradicate the KILLER virus by changing the number system, but the amount of information carried by the Internet is too enormous, and changing the number system of this information would be an enormous undertaking, who knows how many years it would take to complete.
Instead of reforming the system, installing a firewall is a more practical and efficient solution.
"I have a new plan," Lin Feng said.
"Whom do I need to notify?"
Domon William asked, but Lin Feng's next answer took him by surprise.
"No need, I'll just tell you directly, you can do it."
What is the plan?
Domon William was somewhat taken aback. Was he here to carry out the plan?
"I really dislike this virus that can kill people; it needs to be completely eradicated from the internet."
Lin Feng plans to completely eliminate the virus that could assassinate Luo Ji in this era.
Chapter 115 Feng. Taylor's Old Tricks
On Earth, there is a large city located in Asia, near the coast.
This place was once called 'Shanghai'. As connections between countries become closer, more and more foreigners with Chinese green cards are living here.
The name 'Shanghai' has gradually been forgotten and replaced by other names, just like the former 'Pudong'.
In a large park in the city, there was a bustling crowd, mostly elderly people.
Every afternoon, the older women would gather in the park's square to dance, while the older men would find places to play chess, practice Tai Chi, or take a walk to stretch their aging muscles.
Some children were playing games like throwing beanbags or jumping rope, laughing and joking.
As the setting sun shone down, people in the park wore happy smiles.
In a pavilion by the park, several elderly people with white hair were gathered around a table. Two of them were playing chess, while the others stood quietly watching.
To outsiders, what the elderly were doing was perfectly normal.
No one could have imagined that two elderly ETO members would be playing chess in a park, exchanging information using the Sophon in front of onlookers.
The subtitles of their communication appeared in their eyes, constantly appearing and disappearing.
"Maple Taylor has woken up and is now in space."
The old man, pipe in mouth, picked up a chess piece and moved it forward one square, his gaze shifting from the board to the opposite side.
The old man opposite me frowned, as if he was thinking about what to do next.
"This is tricky. If he can stay on Earth a little longer, we can try to kill him. The universe is beyond our control."
After hesitating for a moment, the old man moved the horse two pieces diagonally upwards.
Seeing that the horse piece was about to cross the Chu River and Han border, the old man with the pipe chuckled and pulled out the chariot piece.
"He is still as energetic as he was in his youth. Just a few days after emerging from hibernation, he took Davis, who was on trial at the International Court of Justice, away and forced the International Court of Justice to abandon the trial of Davis's behavior. The good reputation that the Taylor Group has cultivated for him for so many years is starting to tarnish."
"Reputation is irrelevant to Feng Taylor. He has never cared about such things. After causing a scene at the International Court of Justice, he proposed a new plan to manufacture and stockpile large quantities of antimatter."
The old man opposite shook his head, as if to say that bringing out the rook and chess pieces was pointless.
Then, the old man moved another knight two pieces diagonally to form an "L" shape with the previous knight. Once the rook captures the knight, the other knight will capture the rook.
The old man with the pipe picked up the chess piece and pushed it up one space, conveying a message at the same time.
“We were powerless to stop this plan. Feng Taylor used the excuse that the Trisolaran fleet might have a large amount of antimatter to give the Trisolarans playing the role of a large number of antimatter weapons in the virtual war exercise. Through simulated warfare, he made the entire space force realize that their future armament direction was antimatter weapons.”
"Feng Taylor's old trick: deliberately instigating conflict by feigning ignorance, and then using various excuses to get his subordinates to do things in order to achieve his own goals."
The old man on the other side relayed the message, then pushed his cannon piece upwards, directly across the Chu River and Han Border, threatening the old man's pieces, and continued to relay the message.
"I've seen those virtual battles. They're revolutionary to traditional space warfare. They feature kinetic energy weapons that travel at near the speed of light, super bombs that can destroy celestial bodies, and axial cannon-type gamma rays that far surpass any current laser weapon."
"There's also an antimatter shield. Current lasers and electromagnetic cannons are basically useless against it. Feng Taylor has brought science fiction into reality."
"I'm starting to doubt whether this is the power of the Lord."
The old man with the pipe took a deep drag and exhaled white smoke. He didn't particularly like his companion's words. The Lord possessed supreme power, and in this era where basic science was blocked, humanity had no chance of developing to a level comparable to the Lord.
The old man with the pipe pulled up his horse piece to protect his pawn piece. Once the cannon piece captured the pawn piece, his horse piece would capture the opposing cannon piece.
"How could the Lord only be able to do this much? These are merely rudimentary uses of antimatter, and antimatter shields have serious flaws. They are just a luxury used in virtual war exercises against active-duty space force weapons." The old man with the pipe conveyed the message, which was full of disdain for the concept of antimatter shields.
Why do you say that?
The elderly man, having taken another step, conveyed a message and inquired.
The old man with the pipe picked up the chariot he had pulled out and pushed it directly to the opponent's position. After exhaling a ring of white smoke, he gave his explanation for his judgment.
"Antimatter shields are not very effective against similar antimatter weapons. Projectiles with near-light-speed kinetic energy can penetrate the annihilation layer of an antimatter shield and destroy the warship directly. To defend against them, the antimatter shield needs to be thick enough, but that would also result in a terrifying consumption of antimatter carried by the warship itself."
"The gamma-ray cannon of the shaft type has a high enough energy level to ignore the weakening effect of the shield on the rays and directly damage the warship."
"Those super bombs that utilize the collapse of celestial bodies can also ignore antimatter shields."
"Even if you simply launch antimatter as an electromagnetic projectile, this antimatter shield cannot defend against it, because antimatter does not annihilate itself."
"It can be inferred that, from the perspective of the Lord, this antimatter shield is not a threat at all."
In virtual war exercises, Sophon can also obtain intelligence through monitoring. Gamma-ray shaft cannons, kinetic energy projectiles that travel at near the speed of light, and antimatter bombs that have greater power the larger the target mass, as well as antimatter shields that can defend against current electromagnetic guns and lasers, are all weapons and defenses used by the Trisolarans in the virtual war. ETO knows all of these.
It can be said that the Space Force is just as aware of the power of these things as the ETO is of them.
"Regardless, Feng Taylor is a target to be eliminated, and the kill order issued by the Lord remains valid."
"Moreover, the fact that he, a person from half a century ago, could directly point out the future direction of the Space Force's armaments is enough for us to kill him."
The old man took another step, glancing towards the old man with the pipe, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
No one in this world wants to kill Lin Feng as soon as possible more than ETO.
Unfortunately, even though Lin Feng was in hibernation on Earth, ETO was no longer able to assassinate him.
The kind of attack Newton launched against Lin Feng was taken to the grave with her death.
ETO has repeatedly applied to Trisolaris for this technology to be used for assassinations, but Trisolaris has basically rejected their applications. ETO has various speculations about this, but they are all just speculations.
The old man with the pipe took another puff of his pipe and exhaled white smoke.
“It’s impossible. He’s in space, heavily protected by the Taylor system. It’s very difficult for us to reach him, and he seems to have already noticed us.”
After the old man with the pipe finished his move, the old man opposite him also moved his pawn forward one square and then passed the message.
"He only had suspicions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had his subordinates investigate. Instead, he would have directly ordered the governments of various countries around the world to investigate. No matter how they investigated, there was only one result—the last ETO member died ten years ago, and the ETO organization has completely disappeared into the annals of history."
ETO is a group of madmen dissatisfied with human society. As long as there are people who are extremely dissatisfied with the current state of human society, even if ETO is wiped out by various countries, a new batch will emerge.
ETO's foundation lies in Trisolaris. Trisolaris's sophons will seek out these madmen who are extremely dissatisfied with human society, so killing alone cannot eradicate ETO.
