#369 - Chapter 369 The tragic Ishihara family!

Ishihara Tano quickly had people buy a batch of CPUs and GPUs.

"Install them."

Ishihara Tano said in a deep voice.

They had to recover as soon as possible.

Their company's stock was plummeting.

Those short sellers were either domestic or from the United States. From the perspective of beneficiaries, it was more likely that the Americans were behind this.

They were capable of such things as cutting off allies.

"Yes!"

Several computers were equipped with new CPUs and GPUs. After turning on the power, the computers started normally. Ten minutes passed, and everything was normal with these computers.

"Connect them to the network."

Ishihara Tano instructed.

After connecting to the network, these computers were still normal. They showed no signs of being infected, as if the virus didn't exist.

Ishihara Tano frowned secretly.

Could it be that there was an accident in their own virus laboratory?

If it was an accident, then after the outbreak, if the virus stopped spreading, it naturally wouldn't infect anymore.

"Add more computers."

Ishihara Tano said.

"Yes, team leader."

Before long, about one-tenth of the computers in the Ishihara family's company had returned to normal and were in use.

Ishihara Tano had them running for half an hour, with several top hackers closely monitoring the situation of these computers.

Everything was still normal!

"Restore everything!"

Ishihara Tano said in a deep voice.

If it was for safety, they would have to wait longer. But the later they recovered, the greater the pressure on them in the capital market, and they would suffer heavy losses.

Some people might wonder, what impact does the rise or fall of the stock they hold have on the Ishihara family?

As long as they can recover, wouldn't that be enough?

There are two problems.

Many companies' stocks are pledged to banks or securities firms, and a sharp drop in stock prices could lead to forced liquidation.

China has a daily price limit, but Dongying doesn't. They have to invest a lot of money to stabilize the stock price, which will frantically devour their cash flow.

Secondly, can it definitely come back after it falls? With such a thing happening, the capital market will definitely re-evaluate the value of their company's stock.

Undoubtedly, this evaluation will be negative.

"Team leader, what if something happens again after everything is restored—"

Someone beside Ishihara Tano said worriedly.

Ishihara Tano frowned and said, "Do we have another choice? We've poured hundreds of millions of US dollars in cash to stabilize the stock price, but it's still falling a lot."

"Not recovering will definitely continue to fall."

"The later the recovery, the greater the subsequent impact."

The person in front of him nodded slightly.

In the current situation, they really had no other choice.

They could only hope that there wouldn't be a second attack, or that if there was a second attack, it would be stopped by their people.

Time passed by minute by minute.

All the burnt chips in the Ishihara family's company were replaced, and the value of these chips was not low.

"Everyone, get ready."

"Turn on all the computers!"

"Immediately pour money into the stock market to pull it up!"

Ishihara Tano said in a deep voice.

Soon, the companies under the Ishihara family recovered. Lin Chen didn't clear the data on their hard drives.

With a large amount of money poured in, the stock prices of the Ishihara family's companies rose a lot. If they could rush up, then this loss would be barely acceptable.

"That's quite fast."

Lin Chen muttered in his heart.

He stared at the Ishihara family's situation in front of the computer.

"This time, the Ishihara family will likely make people pay attention to the abnormal temperature rise of CPUs and GPUs, even if the computer doesn't show a high temperature, they can still find out."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

Although he knew they might discover the anomaly, Lin Chen used the same trick again.

So what if the Ishihara family found out?

Even if they found out, they couldn't solve the problem.

"Beep beep beep!"

Inside one of the Ishihara family's companies, an alarm went off. This alarm was installed next to the CPU of a computer to monitor abnormal CPU temperature increases.

They installed alarms on many computers.

"Team leader, the temperature is abnormal."

"The CPU temperature has reached seventy degrees and is still rising!"

Soon someone took a thermometer and measured it, shouting loudly.

Ishihara Tano's face was gloomy: "Report at any time, and let our top hackers find the other party as soon as possible."

"Team leader, it's eighty degrees."

"Team leader, ninety degrees!"

"Continuing like this will cause permanent damage to the internal transistors of the CPU."

A technician in charge of testing said urgently.

"Everyone, shut down."

Ishihara Tano took a deep breath and said.

They quickly shut down, the computer screens went black, but the mainframes were still running.

"Team leader, something's wrong."

"We didn't shut down, the CPU temperature is still rising."

The technician's face changed.

He quickly lay down and measured with a thermometer, the temperature was ninety-eight degrees, this temperature may have already caused damage to the CPU, but the damage is not that great yet.

"Damn it!"

"Cut off the power, quickly cut off the power!"

"Notify the people in other places to cut off the power immediately."

Ishihara Tano said.

Before the power was cut off, the technician found that the temperature had reached one hundred and three degrees, and the CPU's automatic protection mechanism had failed.

Such a high temperature must have caused damage to the CPU, but the duration was short, and most of the computers here can probably still be used.

Other places were not so lucky.

It takes time for the order to be transmitted.

This time is enough for the CPU temperature to continue to increase a lot.

Half an hour later, the statistics came out. This time, about half of their CPUs and GPUs were burned out, and these could not be replenished in a short time.

—The reason they could be replenished quickly before was because the relevant merchants had stock, but now the nearby stock is basically empty.

It takes time to transfer goods from other places.

"Have you found any traces of the target?"

Ishihara Tano called one of their top hackers.

"Team leader, we haven't found anything."

"The network experts we invited have not found anything either."

Ishihara Tano's face became very ugly.

"Aren't you all usually arrogant? Now that you've encountered an opponent, you have no way to deal with it?"

Ishihara Tano said sharply.

"Team leader, the other party is much stronger than us, sorry."

Ishihara Tano hung up the phone.

Soon his phone rang again, it was a call from the securities firm, if they didn't replenish funds, the continued decline in stock prices might trigger forced liquidation.

"We will replenish funds immediately."

Ishihara Tano said in a deep voice.

After hanging up the phone, he quickly took out his phone to check the stock price.

This look almost made him faint.

After pouring in a lot of money to pull it up, it is now plummeting again, the loss is terrible.

He quickly asked people to add margin.

At the same time, he poured in more funds to stabilize the stock price.

But the stock prices of their several companies were like diarrhea, falling rapidly.

"Father, we don't have enough funds. If we continue like this, we may be forcibly liquidated."

Ishihara Tano called his father.

"Can the company recover?"

Ishihara Taro asked.

Ishihara Tano was silent for a few seconds and said, "Father, it's difficult. We will have problems if we turn it on. And we can't get enough chips in a short time."

"I'll borrow some money to see if I can stabilize it."

Ishihara Taro hung up the phone after speaking.

He still had some face, and soon, Ishihara Taro borrowed 1 billion US dollars from other families.

However, it was still useless to pour so much money in, the stock price still fell, and finally triggered the forced liquidation line.

The securities firm immediately sold the stock.

These stocks were smashed in, and the stock price completely collapsed.
