Chapter 2171 Don’t be afraid of 1, just be afraid of 1

The United States would never have imagined that someone on the other side of the ocean was secretly plotting against them. Ye Ye and the others also had no idea of ​​the massive turmoil that would soon erupt in Morning Star, completely thwarting Tong Chengcheng's meticulously planned plan. However, all of this was only a story for the future.

After a satisfying meal and a few drinks, Tong Chengcheng, Su Ziwu, and the others were assigned dormitories because they were officially enrolled. This way, Ye Ye no longer had to worry about their accommodations. Finally, everyone said goodbye and dispersed. Ye Ye and Lu Yue returned to their dormitories together.

To be honest, Ye Ye had always had an idea in his mind, which was to invite Su Ziwu to live with him in the small villa. After all, compared to the school dormitory, the living environment of the small villa was undoubtedly much more comfortable, and this way, communication between the two would become more convenient.

However, when Ye Ye thought of Lu Yue, the "light bulb," his idea was immediately dismissed. After all, Lu Yue lived in the small villa. If Su Ziwu moved in, wouldn't it cause a lot of inconvenience to both of them? Plus, everyone had important matters to deal with right now, so Ye Ye thought it was best not to consider this issue for the time being.

So, Ye Ye finally gave up the idea and followed Lu Yue back to the dormitory. As soon as he entered the room, he sat down on the sofa as usual, looking a little listless.

Just now at the dinner table, Ye Ye was chatting and laughing with Su Ziwu, his face filled with happy smiles. But now, that smile has disappeared without a trace, replaced by a hint of doubt.

However, Lu Yue didn't seem to notice Ye Ye's change of mood. Seeing Ye Ye sitting on the sofa, and seemingly not intending to go back to his room to rest, he immediately sat over and asked curiously.

"Brother Ye! You have to explain this to me. What exactly did you guys just say in front of Uncle Liu about this riddle? Brother Tong..."

Hearing Lu Yue's doubts, Ye Ye came back to his senses a little. He temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart, then smiled and answered.

"Haha, it's nothing special, just some small things."

"In fact, there's nothing wrong with telling you this. In today's world, force has always been considered the best measure of destructive power. However, there are always exceptions. Some people may appear ordinary, neither capable of shattering mountains and seas with a single wave of their hands like high-level physical cultivators, nor possessing extraordinary abilities like spiritual cultivators. But in certain specific situations, they can exert extraordinary influences, and one person can be worth thousands of troops."

"Tong Chengcheng is such a person. His talent in controlling... cultivating his body may not be as great as mine, but his hacking skills and astonishing learning and adaptability to technology have made all of us look at him with new eyes and dare not underestimate him in the slightest."

"With just a flick of his finger, he could unleash a massive modern weapons riot. Those confidential documents, unless they are stored in isolation or preserved physically and in paper form, will be difficult to escape his scrutiny."

"hacker!?"

When Lu Yue heard Ye describe Tong Chengcheng in this way, he stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning, his face full of disbelief.

hacker?

A very unfamiliar noun.

Are there hackers on Venusstar?

some.

But rarely.

This isn't to say that all humans on Venus are law-abiding citizens who would never commit any illegal acts. In fact, to prevent any hacking, the nation has already implemented a series of measures. They've gathered together the most technologically advanced individuals and established a specialized agency: the Information Security Bureau.

You know, back on Earth, hackers like Tong Chengcheng could even hack into a country's missile base and command it to launch missiles at will, attacking any part of the planet. However, on Venus, the situation is completely different. There are numerous starships operating through intelligent control systems, and these starships are crucial to the security and stability of the entire planet.

If hackers were to successfully infiltrate the control systems of these starships, the consequences would be unimaginable. They could potentially take control of Chinese or American starships and launch direct expeditions against powerful alien races. Such actions would undoubtedly trigger a large-scale interstellar war, bringing devastating disaster to the entire universe.

Because of this, both China and the United States harbor a deep fear of hackers. Adhering to the principle of "better to kill innocent people than to let them go," they will immediately take action upon discovering any trace of hacking activity. Typically, you'll be approached by a dozen high-ranking body cultivators, with the choice of either being recruited into the Information Security Bureau and serving the nation, or facing the prospect of long imprisonment.

Seeing Lu Yue stunned, Ye Ye couldn't help but ask.

"what happened?"

Ye Ye looked at Lu Yue with a hint of doubt on his face, as if asking him if there was something he was unable to say.

Lu Yue hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and spoke.

"Nothing...Brother Ye, I don't know if I should tell you this, but please don't leak this information. Also, tell Brother Ning to be extremely careful. The country has zero tolerance for hackers."

When Ye Ye heard this, his brows frowned slightly. He originally thought that Lu Yue was just joking, but when he saw the other party's serious expression, he realized that things might not be that simple.

Seeing a hint of doubt on Ye Ye's face, as if to say, "Isn't he just a hacker?" As for his expression, Lu Yue quickly repeated the whole story out loud.

After hearing what Lu Yue said, Ye Ye suddenly realized the truth. He hadn't thought the problem was that serious before, and just thought Tong Chengcheng was a highly skilled hacker. Now, after hearing what Lu Yue said, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

On Blue Star, it's no secret that Tong Chengcheng is a top hacker. Beyond necessary oversight, the government hasn't taken any special measures against him. This is primarily because Tong Chengcheng hasn't done anything harmful to the nation or society, and his skills are truly impressive, allowing him to provide assistance with cybersecurity issues.

However, this does not mean that the country will always turn a blind eye to him. If Tong Chengcheng does something out of line one day, he will definitely face severe legal sanctions.

However, there are many factors at play. First, Tong Chengcheng's father is a high-ranking official. This background gives Tong Chengcheng a certain advantage in relations with China. Furthermore, Tong Chengcheng demonstrates strong ties and a consistent stance with China in various aspects, which is one of the reasons why the government later relaxed restrictions on her.

However, in the beginning, the relevant security departments monitored Tong Chengcheng very closely, almost to the point of 360 degrees of surveillance every day. This was because Tong Chengcheng's background and the fields he was involved in were both important and sensitive.

A little boy who is a bit angry, has superb hacking skills and is under 18 years old?

Isn’t this a ticking time bomb???

Furthermore, China's most core missile and fire control systems require not only online permission but also physical keystrokes. These keys are invariably controlled by top political and military figures like Liu Xinghua and Liu Huaizhen. This means that even if Tong Chengcheng were to suddenly have the urge to cause trouble, her chances of success are extremely low.

In contrast, Venusstar's situation is a stark contrast. Powered by its ultra-high-tech technology, traditional physical buttons have long since become a thing of the past, abandoned. With the rapid advancement of technology and the skyrocketing growth of intelligence, Venusstar has achieved unprecedented autonomy and flexibility in its technology.

While this high degree of autonomy and flexibility brings many advantages, it also hides enormous risks. If someone emerges with skills that outstrip those of the security departments of both countries, the consequences will be disastrous, potentially triggering a massive chaos.

Of course, the two nations weren't particularly worried about this. After all, within the universe, or at least within the confines of the Morning Star, humanity itself was the ultimate military force. Even if those fleets were unfortunately controlled by someone with ulterior motives, a single super-star-level warrior stepping forward would be enough to thwart any conspiracy in the early stages. Not to mention the terrifying presence of Li Tiandao.

"I see...I'll remind him."

Ye Ye sighed and said helplessly. He knew very well that Lu Yue had some concerns about Tong Chengcheng's ability, but he also understood that Tong Chengcheng was not an ordinary person.

Lu Yue felt relieved upon hearing Ye Ye's response. While his knowledge of Tong Chengcheng's hacking skills was limited, his conversations with Ye Ye had given him a rough idea of ​​Blue Star's technological prowess far behind that of Venus Star. In his view, Tong Chengcheng, a newly arrived "country bumpkin," was unlikely to pose a substantial threat to China's security.

However, Tong Chengcheng's performance today had Lu Yue worried. In just a few days, Tong Chengcheng had made an astonishing transformation from a complete novice in starship piloting to a master pilot. This made Lu Yue wonder if Tong Chengcheng might have even more hidden abilities and potential.

What if? ?

Lu Yue pondered secretly, and a feeling of uneasiness gradually welled up in his heart.
