Chapter 488

.

Rongcheng Military District and Shi Lei were currently in a good cooperative relationship.

At the same time, Rongcheng Military District was Shi Lei's biggest creditor. Shi Lei owed Rongcheng Military District 8 billion yuan and had to pay it off within five years.

In exchange, Lin 'an Underground Base, a semi-abandoned underground military base in Rongcheng Military District, was sold to Shi Lei as a base for Shi Lei's production and research and development.

The first product developed by Lin 'an Underground Base was the metal exoskeleton, and the accompanying product was the AIP Artificial Intelligence Project.

Due to the high cost of the first generation of metal exoskeleton, only 85 of them had been produced so far. Among them, Shi Lei received five for free. Rongcheng Military District did not ask Shi Lei to pay for them.

The remaining 70 belonged to Rongcheng Military District. These metal exoskeletons were not allocated to special forces. Instead, they were all handed over to those in power in the military. They were used for the same purpose as Shi Lei, to protect themselves.

Rongcheng Military District, the Electronic Information Security Force Headquarters. On the huge display wall, an alarm suddenly sounded, and a shocking message was sent to the headquarters of the Electronic Information Security Force.

'Station 22839, 67 Steel Aircraft have taken off and are flying in the direction of Nanyue State. The target is temporarily unknown!'

Station 22839 was located at the border of Rongcheng Military District. It was close to Nanyue State and Dongguang Military District. It was a very important border defense station. It was equipped with the latest military version of the Steel Aircraft, and it also carried two Arrow A air-to-surface missiles and two Arrow B air-to-air missiles!

Station 22839's Steel Aircraft, due to the requirements of the border defense mission, was ready to be activated at any time. In other words, its fuel tank was full, its bullets were full, and it could take off in a minute to carry out the mission.

At this moment, the 67 Steel Aircraft of Station 22839 took off at the same time and flew towards Nanyue State. This situation made the officers of the station jump and immediately report to the Electronic Information Security Force through the military system.

The commander of the Electronic Information Security Force was named Su Ding. He was only thirty-five years old, but he had already reached the rank of Senior Colonel. He could be said to be a popular figure in the military.

In fact, if not for the fact that Su Ding was only thirty-five years old, there were rumors that Su Ding could have reached the rank of a general!

In Xia Xia, it was extremely difficult to go from a field officer to a general. A major general like Lu Qiang was definitely a good match.

Su Ding's computer skills were quite profound.

In the hacker world, computer technology was roughly divided into seven levels. From the lowest to the highest level, it was the world's third-rate, world's second-rate, world's first-rate, world's super-first-rate, world's world-class, and world's pinnacle. Other than that, there were also some detailed classifications, such as quasi second-rate, quasi first-rate, quasi super-first-rate, and so on. These were used to describe those who had surpassed the current level but had not reached a higher level.

The core members of third-generation hacker organizations were generally between the world's second-rate and the world's first-rate. A small number of them had reached the quasi super-first-rate. For example, the leader of Voisin's third-generation hacker organization, the Jade of Four Souls Monster Army, Nairo, had reached the quasi super-first-rate level.

Of course, examples like Nairo were rare. Most third-generation hackers did not exceed the world's quasi super-first-rate.

The core members of Xia Xia's second-generation hacker organization, the Hacker Alliance, were all world-class. The leader, Black Blade, had even reached the world's super-first-rate level.

The official security expert team of Voisin's Ministry of Foreign Affairs International Intelligence Service was basically at the quasi super-first-rate and super-first-rate level. Kurai Erbo and Oda Shichun had reached the world's super-first-rate level, or perhaps even higher.

The overall strength of Xia Xia's Cyber Security Intelligence Department was similar to that of Voisin's Ministry of Foreign Affairs International Intelligence Service. The four major cyber security bureaus under Xia Xia were similar to the second-generation hacker organizations.

The Electronic Security Unit of Rongcheng Military District was also similar to that of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs International Intelligence Service. However, in terms of the number of security experts, it was slightly lesser.

However, Su Ding's technical ability was slightly higher!

His technical ability, if compared to the classification of hackers, should be world-class!

That's right, world-class!

It was also because of this that Su Ding was conferred the rank of senior colonel when he was only thirty-five years old. He had a bright future ahead of him.

Su Ding stood in front of the display wall and looked at the satellite positioning map. There was no expression on his pale face. The eyes hidden behind the glasses could not be seen by others.

A major stood behind Su Ding and whispered, "Division Commander Su, what should we do now?"

This major was called Cheng Ting. He was also a technical officer in the Electronic Security Unit. Cheng Ting was already thirty-eight years old, but he was only a major.

"Brother Cheng, don't worry. Although those Steel Ships have entered Nanyue State's territory, they are all flying at extremely low altitudes. They have not been discovered." Su Ding pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He had a calm and unhurried look on his face. He was very polite with the way he addressed Cheng Ting. Su Ding was a very cultured person. He did not look down on anyone just because of his high military rank.

Because of Su Ding's cultured character, he had a very high prestige in the Electronic Security Unit.

"But Division Commander Su, those Steel Ships are all equipped with Flying Arrow missiles. If an accident happens, it will be very difficult for us to explain to Nanyue State. "Cheng Ting scratched his head anxiously.

Su Ding snorted lightly, "It's just a mere South Yue Kingdom, why should we give them an explanation? Moreover, these Steel Ships are not controlled by our Rongcheng Military District! "

Cheng Ting remained silent.

Su Ding continued, "I've already checked. These 67 Steel Ships are not controlled by our Rongcheng Military District's military satellite. As for what kind of satellite is used to control them, I haven't been able to find out for the time being. Brother Cheng, the Steel Ships' communication module originally uses our Rongcheng Military District's military satellite. Only the corresponding operating program can operate them. Who do you think can operate them? "Su Ding was full of confidence.

Cheng Ting pondered for a moment. Then, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"Division Commander Su is wise!" Cheng Ting flattered. "The Steel Ships' communication module can only be changed by entering the engineering mode. However, apart from our Electronic Security Unit, only the designer has the authority to enter the engineering mode. Not only that, only the designer has the original operating system of the Steel Ships. If that's the case, then these Steel Ships are operated by Shi Lei? "

Su Ding nodded. "Brother Cheng, you don't know Shi Lei. Although I've never met Shi Lei, I've heard rumors about him. That young man's heart is dark. He once controlled the Steel Ships and displayed his invincible might in Nanyue State, killing hundreds of people. He even used the Flying Arrow A air-to-surface missile to blow up the enemy's station. Maybe he's up to something again this time! "

Cheng Ting said nervously, "Division Commander Su, are we not going to report it?"

Su Ding sneered. "I don't have any friendship with Shi Lei. Why should I hide it for him? Even if I have a good relationship with Shi Lei, how can this kind of news be hidden? Brother Cheng, I've already reported this news to Deputy Commander He. Everything will be decided by Deputy Commander He. "

Cheng Ting smiled embarrassedly to express his confusion. At the same time, he scolded himself for not being tactful enough to say something so unreliable. No wonder the other party was a senior colonel and he was a major.

Rongcheng Military District, the Deputy Commander's Office.

He Zhenbang rubbed his head and looked at the real-time image sent by the Electronic Information Security Unit. According to the satellite positioning system, 67 Steel Ships were currently crossing the border of Nanyue State. Their final destination was still unknown.

'Shi Lei, Shi Lei, what are you trying to do?' He Zhenbang thought to himself. He Zhenbang valued Shi Lei a lot and had always wanted to rope him in. However, this time, he felt that Shi Lei had gone too far.

Even if Shi Lei really wanted to take control of the Steel Ships, he should've notified him and explained the situation. As long as it wasn't too much, He Zhenbang would've turned a blind eye to it in order to maintain a good relationship with Shi Lei.

However, 67 Steel Ships carrying four missiles had silently flown to Nanyue State. He Zhenbang's heart was filled with anger and resentment.

Lu Qiang stood silently in He Zhenbang's office. He was the core heavyweight of He Zhenbang's faction and was very hopeful of going further.

Shi An took the satellite phone and dialed Shi Lei's number. He was about to ask Shi Lei what was going on.

Shuangqing City.

Shi Lei was in Bai Qiang's office, chatting with him about daily life.

"Brother Bai, it's almost time. What are you going to treat me to for lunch?" Shi Lei asked with a smile. He changed into a comfortable position and sat on the leather sofa.

Bai Qiang pretended to be dissatisfied and snorted. "Big Boss Shi, how can a person of your status have the nerve to ask a low-paid civil servant like me?"

"Are you serious? Brother Bai, are you going to go back on your word? You're still a low-paid civil servant? I'm not kidding. You can make the arrangements for lunch today. Anyway, I'm going to eat a big meal today! "Shi Lei showed a ruffian look, as if he was going to dine and dash.

"Forget it. I can't win against you. We have a good private restaurant in Beiyu District, but the price is a little expensive. Why don't we go dutch?" Bai Qiang said jokingly.

In fact, the two of them didn't care about the cost of a meal. They were just teasing each other to get closer to each other.

Just as the two of them stood up and were about to walk out of the office, Shi Lei's phone rang. Shi Lei took out his phone and looked at it. The caller ID showed that it was a confidential number. Shi Lei's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

He pressed the answer button and pretended not to know that it was from the Rongcheng Military District. He said with a bit of arrogance, "Who is it?"

Shi An's voice came over. "Shi Lei, I'm Shi An. I have something to ask you." Shi An told him about the Steel Ships and then asked, "Shi Lei, are you controlling them?"

"Commander Shi, you're joking, right? I'm now going out with Director Bai of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. How can I have time to play with the Steel Ships? "Shi Lei asked.

Shi An was a little suspicious. "Shi Lei, get Director Bai Qiang to answer the phone!"
