Chapter 57 Global Live Broadcast
Just as the coalition government was struggling to ease public sentiment, a bombshell dropped from the sky.
"Hello everyone, my name is Tu Hengyu."
Mobile phones, computers, car radios, restaurant TVs, electronic billboards, large screens in shopping malls
Digital images of Hengyu's face appear or his voice appears in all electronic media accessible to humans.
People showed blank expressions and stopped to watch.
"I stole three kilograms of antimatter." Digital Tu Hengyu said calmly, "I plan to use these antimatter to kill two billion people."
Everyone was stunned.
Digital Tu Hengyu paused, and then said lightly: "That is one-third of the world's population."
His voice passed through thousands of homes and lingered in the streets.
Billions of people looked stunned.
They couldn't believe that the gentle-looking scholar in the picture was actually the biggest terrorist in human history!
That digital devil who wants to kill two billion people with his mouth open!
"And why I did it"
Digital Tu Hengyu smiled and said calmly: "Actually, there is no special reason. I just found that I can do it, so I did it."
His smile is friendly.
This is the most perfect human smile simulated by 550W, and is expected to bring the warmest psychological feelings to humans.
But people who see this smiling face at this moment can't feel any warmth at all.
They were so sick of the cold that they had goosebumps all over their bodies.
Why do digital beings kill people?
Because he can kill.
What a ridiculous explanation this is!
Digital Tu Hengyu’s explanation suddenly aroused people’s anger.
"demon!"
"You're going to go to hell if you do this!"
"Just wait to be deleted!"
"Dead beast!"
"Digital life shouldn't exist!"
"You won't succeed!"
People yelled and cursed, but their voices couldn't reach Digital Tu Hengyu's ears at all.
Digital Tu Hengyu smiled and said: "Everyone you know, including yourselves, one out of every three will be killed by me."
His tone was very calm, but the content of his words was terrifying.
"I gave the coalition government a chance to return most of the antimatter I stole to them unconditionally, so that they can reduce the number of deaths to 700 million."
"But they chose another path and they wanted to get all the antimatter back."
"They think I'm just a digital being who can't make any waves."
"Even though I have stolen three copies of antimatter from their tight defenses, they still arrogantly think they can defeat me!"
Digital Tu Hengyu said: "I have to prove myself and let you humans know what a digital life can do."
"From now on, I will start a global live broadcast."
"Everyone can see the location of antimatter, the hall of the headquarters, and the site of the search for antimatter."
"And the countdown to the death of two billion humans."
…
Everyone in the coalition government headquarters was livid, but they did not dare to speak.
Because the command center was broadcast live.
Billions of people can see the high-definition images in the headquarters and the data information on the large screen of the headquarters through the Internet.
"Do you want to remove the camera?"
someone asked in a low voice.
The live broadcast comes from several cameras in the corner of the headquarters, as well as several cameras connected to the computer. As long as these cameras are removed, the headquarters' live broadcast can be terminated immediately.
The commander shook his head with a heavy heart.
"no need."
"Digital life has infiltrated us into a sieve, and removing the cameras will not prevent him from obtaining our information. On the contrary, it will show that we are not sure of resolving the crisis, which is not conducive to appeasing people's hearts."
"Have you analyzed the goal of digital life?"
the commander asked.
The intelligence official hesitated: "According to the current route, the antimatter will pass through several super volcanoes."
"But submarine supervolcanoes are not as powerful as land supervolcanoes and are unlikely to cause two billion casualties."
He added: "According to statistics from various countries, all volcanic activities in the past two hundred years alone caused 200,000 deaths."
Ten thousand and two hundred thousand add up to two billion.
Judging from this set of data, it is almost impossible to imagine that two billion people could be killed by detonating a few super volcanoes!
The commander asked: "So the goal of digital life is not to explode a volcano?"
The intelligence official replied cautiously: "From the current point of view, unless three super volcanoes equivalent in size to the Yellowstone volcano are detonated at the same time and subversively change the composition of the earth's atmosphere, it is possible to kill two billion people."
The Yellowstone Volcano, located in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, is the most destructive supervolcano on Earth.
Once it erupts, the flying volcanic debris alone can cover half of the Stars and Stripes Country.
Not only that, a large amount of volcanic ash, aerosols, and sulfur dioxide will be released during an eruption.
These substances can spread across the globe, causing extremely serious environmental and climate changes.
If three such super volcanoes erupt at the same time, the earth will become an uninhabitable planet, causing huge damage to all living things on earth, including humans.
At this point, the intelligence officer shook his head.
"But there are no supervolcanoes of this size in the sea."
Experts believe that there is no such possibility.
The commander frowned and said, "Where will these three antimatter go?"
What humans can analyze, digital life can certainly do.
Since detonating a super volcano cannot cause 2 billion casualties, digital life must have other ideas.
"It is still under study." The intelligence officer replied, "But we have evacuated the residents near the volcano. If the antimatter explodes near the volcano, the loss will be minimized."
The commander pursed his lips and nodded.
The intelligence officer said seriously, "I understand!"
The commander turned and asked, "How is the No. 1 salvage point?"
The No. 1 salvage point encountered information shielding, and the command sent a pilot to send a message in person.
Calculating the time, it should be here now.
"The pilot is on the way back."
"Although the signal shielding of the No. 1 salvage point has not been cracked, judging from the satellite images, Lieutenant Colonel Lanlus has already set off for the next salvage location and is expected to carry out the mission in three hours."
The intelligence officer reported.
The commander nodded, and then asked, "How long will it take to deliver the new deep-sea probe to the second salvage point?"
"We have dispatched several Pioneer space shuttles from the Navigator Space Station to drop the probe by airdrop, and it will arrive in two hours at the latest."
The intelligence officer paused and said, "The positioning signal of the third salvage point has been restored. The reserve team has replaced the first team that deviated and is heading to the salvage location. It will take about an hour."
The work at the three salvage points is being restored in an orderly manner.
The commander nodded slowly.
He looked around.
Although everything was going well, he still felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
It seemed that something bad was going to happen again.
