Chapter 360 The Clone of "University Bomber"

Garcia sent over all the information about the female passenger named Christina. Everyone sat around the big table in the conference room, flipping through the information, looking for clues.

After finishing her third cup of coffee, Jiejie signaled that she had discovered something, and then she connected to the video chat with Garcia.

"Garcia, look up the name, Hyman Washer.

Christina Morrow went on a date with the aerospace engineer eight years ago and wrote on Facebook that it was the worst date she had ever experienced. "

"Eight years ago?" Jack wondered if he had heard wrongly. Was he so vindictive?

It didn't take long for Garcia to send over a profile.

"Found it, Hyman Washer, mathematical genius, social idiot, anarchist. Shortly after the date you mentioned, he resigned and disappeared from the world."

"Sounds like Ted Kaczynski's twin." Rossi frowned.

Others couldn't help but have a strange expression on their faces. Ted Kaczynski was one of the FBI's pillars of shame.

Ted Kaczynski was born in 1942. When he was 12 years old, his IQ test was as high as 167. In 1958, when he was 16 years old, he was admitted to the Department of Mathematics at Harvard University. After graduating from the undergraduate program, he studied mathematics at the University of Michigan. Graduate degrees and Ph.D.

In 1967, after completing his Ph.D., Kaczynski joined the University of California, Berkeley as an assistant professor, becoming the youngest teaching assistant in the history of this well-known university.

At that time, the country's mathematical community regarded this handsome genius as a rising star who would surely leave a mark in the history of mathematics.

Who would have thought that he would resign from UC less than two years later and then live in seclusion in a deserted place on the outskirts of Lincoln, Montana.

When Kaczynski reappeared in the public eye, he had transformed into the feared "College Bomber". He sent a total of 1978 mail bombs from 1995 to 16, killing three people and injuring 23 others. people.

His targets are mainly university science and engineering professors, large business executives and airlines, because he regards these people as the main force driving technological progress.

Kaczynski opposes technological progress, especially robots, genetic technology and computer technology. He believes that machines will take over most important jobs, making humans no longer busy and looking for other dangerous outlets (drug addiction, crime, cults) , hate groups, etc.).

The progress of genetic technology, from the initial elimination of cancer and genetic diseases to the creation of perfect humans through massive genetic modification, will turn humans into artificially designed products rather than natural creations.

He also believes that the further development of computer technology, especially the emergence of AI technology, will deprive most people of their freedom and power after being mastered by a few elites, and become slaves or livestock of artificial intelligence or elites.

The FBI deployed 500 agents and spent nearly 18 million US dollars. Over a period of 200 years, it mistakenly arrested more than suspects, but failed to find the mysterious bomber.

Until April 1995, 4, Kaczynski sent a letter to multiple media outlets, in which he claimed that if the Washington Post and the New York Times published an article he wrote in full, , he is willing to give up sending bombs.

The federal Ministry of Justice finally raised the white flag and finally agreed to allow two of the most influential newspapers to publish his paper in full.

In this -word paper titled "On Industrial Society and Its Future," Kaczynski elaborated on the idea that "technological progress will eventually destroy mankind." It aroused widespread discussion and resonated with countless people. .

Even in 2011, Anders Breivik, who massacred 93 people in the Norwegian massacre, was one of Kaczynski's supporters.

<divclass="contentadv">Before Anders Breivik launched the attack, he published an "attack manifesto" online, most of which was excerpted from Kaczynski's paper past.

Not to mention, shortly after Kaczynski published his paper, his brother reported him to the FBI. This genius and madman was finally arrested and is still in prison.

"Well, the biggest difference between Hyman Washer and Ted Kaczynski is that he does not resist technology. On the contrary, he is an admirer of Oppenheimer."

Garcia pulled up more of what Hyman Washer had written online.

"He made a lot of adoring remarks about Oppenheimer before disappearing from public view."

Rossi thought thoughtfully, "If so, then the text message Christina received makes sense. The hacking technology that can control passenger planes at will is Hyman Washer's 'atomic bomb'," he thought. To inflict similar mass casualties in this manner."

Emily felt a little numb, "Isn't this a bit too much? He did this, even at the cost of killing more than a hundred passengers on a plane, just to take revenge on a woman who had humiliated him?"

"Not necessarily, maybe Christina was just a trigger for him to evaporate. It took him 8 years to complete his 'atomic bomb', and then he used Christina, who had hurt him, as a sacrifice for his test. "

Jack curled his lips. The more perverts he came into contact with, the more he could think from a perverted perspective. This was really a sad thing.

"Guys, I think I'm going to take back the word worship and change it to obsession, I'm probably done with what he said.

He spent a lot of space analyzing how Oppenheimer achieved his achievements through his superior IQ, from a socially idiotic scientist to a respected great man. "

Garcia then read a long passage about Barabara that Hyman Washer had once said.

"That makes sense." Hotchner's calm face finally showed some emotion.

"Vasher also wanted such a switch. He decided he had had enough humiliation and after spending 8 years perfecting his hacking skills, he conducted a test. The crash site of the Cristina flight was his 'nuclear test' field'."

Garcia agreed. "Cristina posts a lot of travel information on Facebook, and this flight was because she was going to Phoenix for a class reunion."

"If that's the case, Washer should be near here and let the flight crash here because he can see it with his own eyes here."

Rhett said, "There are few people nearby, making it easy to hide. It's a perfect testing location."

"Then the question comes." Emily said worriedly, "If this is his 'atomic bomb testing site', where is his 'Hiroshima'?"
