nChapter 119 Control Your Energy Cannon
nOraman couldn’t believe his ears. He raised his eyebrows, asking, “What did you say? Say that again; I dare you!”
n“I said you’ve lost your mind! Do you hear me
nnow?!”
n“How dare you disrespect me like that?! I’ll destroy you with the energy cannon now!”
n“Oraman, behave yourself!”
nJust then, the Panthese president joined the video call. “The energy cannon is built from the materials provided by all the countries in the world, and it can only fire five times. It’s reserved to destroy the super meteorite, and you’re only its keeper, not the owner. Who gave you the right to aim it at Moon?”
nOraman was taken by surprise. “How did you get in? I didn’t invite you to this video call!”
nThe Winish president joined in as well.
n“I don’t know what’s going on, but it seems all the countries are sharing the same network, and we can only visit the government sites of Moon and Neige. The whole world is watching this video call, and anyone can join in at any time.”
n“What?”
nMore screens were being divided into more and more sections.
nOne.
nTwo.
nThree.
nA hundred.
nEight hundred
nA thousand.
nThirty thousand.
nTen thousand.
nFifty thousand.
nOver a million people joined in the video call, and their faces were too small to be distinguished from one another.
nEveryone was talking at the same time. All the languages were mixed together, and no one could make out what other people were saying
nThe chaos paralyzed the two websites.
nThere was nothing wrong with Himmel Soan’s network. Even another billion users wouldn’t make it crash.
nHowever, the servers of the two governmental websites couldn’t handle the significant number of visitors.
nWhy were those two the only websites that were still working?
nIt was because their servers were intact.
nAs for the rest…
nTake Penguin Web as an example. Its HQ had collapsed, and the server was buried under the debris. Of course, the website had stopped working
nIt was the same with websites like Thandos, Tiger Search, and Ellibro. Their servers were either flooded or smashed to pieces by falling buildings.
nThey weren’t the only ones.
nThe servers of Facebook and Google no longer existed.
nThe server of the Neigerian government website had been moved into Eternity, which was why it was still intact. The Moonian one was safely stored in the underground shelter. Therefore, the two government sites were the only ones that were still working.
nAlthough there was internet service, the users couldn’t visit any other websites. As a result, billions of people rushed to the two websites.
nThere was a “video” button on both websites, and one could join the video call just by clicking it. Oraman immediately ordered the technician to delete the button and ended the video call. It relieved the pressure on the servers.
nMoon also deleted the button, and only a few special accounts could use that function. The other users couldn’t join the video call anymore, but they could leave comments. The video call was no longer encrypted, and the whole world could watch it.
nOraman then started another video call. He knew the whole world was watching. 99.9% of the global population was on their phones. They didn’t have anything else to do and could only visit one of the two websites.
n“Hello, everybody. I’m Oraman, the Neigerian president. My country’s signal bases were destroyed by natural disasters, but somehow, the signal is back. After some investigation, we discovered that the signal source is Moon. We have reason to believe that Moon has hacked our network and equipment. I hereby make a formal protest! Moon has to stop their invasion immediately! I’m warning Moon in front of the whole world. If they don’t stop what they’re doing, I’ll fire the first round of the energy cannon at them!”
n“You ungrateful bastard!”
nJust then, another window popped up on the screen. It was Himmel Soan. He was obviously outside because behind him was a downpour.
nHimmel Soan had tolerated Oraman for a long time, but to maintain the relationship between the two countries, he had kept his silence. However, after he restored the network and communication, Oraman was accusing him of invading his country.
n“Oraman, I’m going to make it very clear this time. You won’t be able to fire the energy cannon. Fine, I’ve invaded your network. What can you do? I can control the energy cannon whenever I want, and I can fire all five rounds at Neige!”
nMaruse angrily shot to his feet. “Bull**! Who the hell do you think you are? Try it; I dare you!”
n“As you wish!”
nHimmel Soan ended the video call after that.
nDing!
nDing!
nDing!
nWarning sounds rang out in Eternity’s control room.
n“Energy cannon ready to launch. Ten!” The system started the countdown. Everyone in the room freaked out.
n“What happened? Did someone hit the button?”
n“It wasn’t me! I didn’t touch anything!”
n“No one can do it on their own! The three control panels have to give the command simultaneously to activate it! Report to Mr. President now!”
n“Mr. President, the energy cannon is ready to launch on its own!”
n“What?” The president was still on the video call when a Neigerian scrambled into the room.
nThe world heard the man and was astonished.
nCould Himmel Soan really control the Neigerian energy cannon?
nOraman instantly ended the video call, and the viewers couldn’t see what was going to happen next. They were all very curious.
nSomeone then wrote, “We have access to the Neigerian surveillance footage now! We can see everything!”
nAs Himmel Soan had control over the entire network, he had removed all the passwords to the Neigerian control system. Everybody now had access to the Neigerian database.
nPeople soon found secret files, equipment, and surveillance footage.
nThe image from over a thousand surveillance cameras on the arks could be watched online.
nThe viewers saw Oraman run into the control room with only three seconds left.
n“Where is it aiming at?!” Oraman asked anxiously.
n
