"Boss, how did you do it? Can you reveal a little?" Marcus couldn't help but be curious and continued to send messages asking.
Elliot did not reply to Marcus's message, not because he didn't want to reply, but because he couldn't reply to them all.
"Boss, that's amazing! I admire you!"
"Boss, how did you do it?"
"@Joker, Boss, you are my idol! I beg you to take me as your disciple!"
...
In a short time, Elliot received dozens, even hundreds, of private messages.
In the group, Elliot briefly shared the entire process of invading the Tempest.
It turned out that in order to create public opinion, Solaria had specially invited an international press delegation to live broadcast the event.
And to live broadcast on a warship, network support was needed, so the Tempest provided a network live broadcast interface for the reporters.
Elliot took advantage of this point, first invading the mobile phone of the GNN female reporter Kelly, and then, through her mobile phone, successfully entering the internal network of the Tempest destroyer.
It was a pity that the Tempest destroyer, where the press delegation was located, was not the command ship for this exercise.
The communication data link between the Tempest and the command ship Mist was multi-encrypted and had a firewall, making it very difficult to break through.
Of course, it was not impossible to break through. In the
It doesn't matter, there's still a second course.
The chaos on the Tempest lasted for five or six minutes before returning to normal.
The Solarians finally discovered the loophole in the live broadcast network and immediately disconnected the network, cutting off the
"Bastards! Damn it all! Useless fools, a bunch of useless people!"
On the exercise command ship Mist, Vice Admiral Sterling was furious, cursing at his subordinates.
Several officers lowered their heads, trembling with fear, not daring to breathe.
It was no wonder the Commander was so angry.
Just when the exercise was about to start, they were invaded by a
It was truly a disgrace!
"What the hell is going on? Why were we invaded by a
"General, we have already found out the reason." A colonel bit the bullet and stepped forward, saying, "The
"How could our satellite network be so easily invaded by a
"General, it's like this. Because for this exercise, we invited an international press delegation for live broadcasting, and to make it convenient for the reporters to broadcast, the Tempest's satellite network opened an interface to provide them with live broadcast signals. The
The reason was found; it was their own carelessness.
Vice Admiral Sterling's face still did not improve. He was silent for a moment, then issued an order:
"I order the exercise to be postponed by one hour. All warships, immediately conduct a comprehensive inspection of the network system to ensure foolproof security!"
"Yes!" Several Commanders responded in unison.
The Solarians began to inspect the network systems of all warships.
Before all security risks were eliminated, they dared not start the exercise.
Otherwise, if they were invaded by a
"Is it a
"How did they invade?"
"Not clear."
"Solaria's naval network security is too fragile!"
"You don't know yet? The news just received is that Solaria's major networks and websites have all been paralyzed. It is said that
...
On the Tempest destroyer, reporters gathered in twos and threes, discussing animatedly.
"Huh? The time is up, why hasn't the exercise started yet?" A VNN reporter looked at his watch and found that it was already nine o'clock. The scheduled start time for the exercise had arrived, but there was no movement on the warship.
"Yeah, what's going on?"
"Is it because of the
"Probably the exercise has been postponed."
...
The reporters speculated one after another.
Soon, they received the exact news that the exercise was indeed postponed by one hour.
This postponement was more than an hour; the clock reached 10:20.
"Beep beep!"
On the sea, the whistle of a warship broke the silence.
The exercise finally began.
A Solarian fishing boat, playing the role of a "distressed fishing boat," deliberately ran aground and sent out a distress signal.
After the Solarian Maritime Guard received the distress signal, they immediately forwarded the message to the exercise command ship Mist.
On the helicopter deck of the Mist destroyer, a UH-1Y "Venom" helicopter was ready for takeoff, and ten fully armed marines were ready to go.
Vice Admiral Sterling also changed into a camouflage uniform and was ready to personally board the helicopter and lead the team to "land on the island."
"Beep--"
With a sharp whistle, Vice Admiral Sterling ordered loudly:
"Board the aircraft!"
The marines filed in and boarded the helicopter.
Vice Admiral Sterling was the last to board the helicopter.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
The helicopter's rotor began to rotate at high speed, emitting a huge roar, and the fuselage slowly rose, leaving the deck.
"Beep beep!"
At the same time, a prompt message popped up on Elliot's computer.
Elliot's spirits lifted. He knew that the main show had begun.
This was a program he had previously planted in the Aegis Aviation database center, which detected the data signal sent by the "Venom" helicopter.
This meant that Solaria's exercise had begun.
Elliot tapped the keyboard a few times, and a simulation animation appeared on the computer screen.
In the animation, a UH-1Y "Venom" helicopter took off from the deck of the Mist destroyer and slowly ascended.
This simulation animation almost completely restored the real scene of the exercise.
The ALIS system of the "Venom" helicopter would send real-time flight data to the Aegis Aviation database center.
After receiving the data, the Aegis Aviation's simulation system generated a simulated flight animation.
In the animation, the UH-1Y helicopter flew to an altitude of 380 meters above sea level, and then flew towards a reef that was exposed above the sea about a kilometer away.
After more than ten seconds, the helicopter was about 300 meters away from the reef.
At this time, the animation showed that the wind speed was 18 meters per second.
The helicopter began to become bumpy.
It's now.
Elliot pressed the enter key and sent a command to activate the attack program lurking in the Aegis Aviation database center.
This program, using the "ALIS Vulnerability" exchanged from the
Modern weapons and equipment are becoming more and more electronic and automated, with increasingly high technological content. Take helicopters, for example; with an automatic assisted flight system, the pilot's operation becomes much simpler, and the complexity is greatly reduced.
However, doing so also brings a huge hidden danger, which is that once there is a problem with the assisted flight program, the consequences will be unimaginable.
380 meters above the sea, inside the "Venom" helicopter.
Vice Admiral Sterling held binoculars and observed the situation on the sea in the distance.
He saw the Federation's 815 electronic reconnaissance ship and the even larger 055 ten-thousand-ton destroyer.
These two Federation warships had been hovering around the periphery of the exercise area, monitoring Solaria's every move.
"General, prepare to land on the island." The pilot's voice came through the headset.
Vice Admiral Sterling put down his binoculars.
At this moment, the helicopter suddenly encountered a strong air current, and the fuselage became bumpy.
Sterling quickly grabbed the sling to steady himself.
Encountering strong air currents is common when flying over the sea.
The turbulence lasted for dozens of seconds and gradually subsided.
Sterling was about to let go when a sudden change occurred—
"Beep beep beep!"
A piercing alarm sounded frantically inside the helicopter cabin.
Sterling was also an experienced helicopter pilot. As soon as he heard the alarm, he knew something was wrong and quickly grabbed the sling tightly.
The next second, the helicopter began to shake violently, and the fuselage tilted downwards, like an out-of-control beast.
People in the cabin were thrown around.
Sterling held the sling tightly with both hands. Suddenly, a soldier, caught off guard, slammed into him.
The huge impact caused Vice Admiral Sterling's hand to slip from the sling, and his body hit another soldier.
The soldier fell directly out of the cabin.
Fortunately, he was tied with a safety rope and did not fall into the sea, but was suspended outside the helicopter, shaking violently in the air.
"Ah!"
Another soldier also lost his balance due to the violent turbulence and fell out of the cabin, suspended in the air, terrified.
The entire helicopter tumbled wildly in the air, like a headless fly, losing its direction.
The pilot tried his best to stabilize the helicopter... The next second, he was also thrown out of the cabin.
The helicopter completely lost control and, after rolling a few times in the air, plunged headfirst into the sea.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the helicopter crashed heavily onto the sea from an altitude of over 300 meters, stirring up towering waves.
From the helicopter losing control to crashing into the sea, the entire process took only a little over ten seconds.
Everything happened too quickly.
So fast that the others in the exercise area did not react.
In the distance, on the deck of the Tempest destroyer, the GNN reporter Kelly stared blankly at this scene, she rubbed her eyes, thinking she was hallucinating.
The next second, she reacted suddenly and shouted loudly to the cameraman:
"Quick! Quick, film it! Quick, film it!"
The cameraman quickly shouldered the camera and aimed the lens at the helicopter that crashed into the sea.
"Oh god! What happened?!"
"The helicopter crashed!"
"God! This is too terrifying!"
...
The reporters exclaimed one after another, their faces filled with shock and fear.
This was explosive news.
The exercise had just begun, and a helicopter crashed.
This was a major accident.
The exercise directing department was slow to react by dozens of seconds, and a speed boat immediately sped towards the sea area where the helicopter crashed.
The speed of the speed boat was very fast, reaching the sea area where the helicopter crashed in less than 40 seconds.
