Chapter 388: Chapter 48 Turing_4 Chapter 388: Chapter 48 Turing_4 “It’s beautiful.”
Huang Que also looked up again, observing the five intersecting lines of light:
“Yes, beautiful…I’m quite envious.”
In the midst of the stunned and prayerful noises from the 80,000 spectators, the five bright lines formed by 4,000 Starlink Satellites in the sky finally converged and intersected.
The angle where each line crossed was roughly 30 degrees.
Everyone could clearly see the shape made by the five bright lines—
A gigantic star, occupying the whole sky, a [pentagram].
The big screen at the competition venue lit up, displaying a video of Chu Anqing holding up the red flag of China high.
In the upper left corner of the red flag fluttered a yellow pentagram.
The 80,000-strong venue fell silent.
Two lines of scoring subtitles floated up below the big screen:
[Starlink Satellites Z-AZ series, a total of 4217 satellites hacked!]
[Team China scores—337,360 points!]
Mi Country, Texas State, Boca Chica, Space-T Starship Launch Site.
The world’s richest man, Jask, leaned against the towering launch tower, looking up at the pentagram floating over Mi Country’s sky, and chuckled:
“Kids…my satellites have become your toys?”
Clang clang clang clang!
The sound of someone rapidly climbing stairs, a female secretary with red-framed glasses ran up in a hurry:
How could you have come up without your phone?
There’s big trouble with the Starlink project…Satellites—”
“Do I need your report for this?”
Jask interrupted his secretary with a hand gesture, looking at the gradually dissipating trajectory of the pentagram in the sky:
“I can see it just by looking up.”
“But you…why aren’t you panicking at all?”
The secretary adjusted her red-framed glasses, not understanding the world’s richest man’s composure.
The hacking of the Starlink System could result in a loss of share prices, users, and reputation…
It was one of the SPACE-T Company’s most famous projects and one of Jask’s proudest.
To see it toyed with by hackers, why wasn’t he angry at all?
“What’s there to panic about?”
Jask said nonchalantly:
“Where there’s software, there are definitely vulnerabilities, and where there are vulnerabilities, invasions are inevitable, sooner or later.
Besides, the experience we gain from failure is much more valuable than what we learn from success.”
“Honestly, the Starlink System has been running for a while now, and it’s the first time someone has hacked it.
I’m disappointed…I’d actually like Starlink to be hacked a few more times.
If hackers can’t breach Starlink, how can I find the vulnerabilities?
How can I improve the technology?
How can my security advance?
And how can we talk about more distant journeys?”
The female secretary stepped onto the platform, looking straight at Jask:
“On Mi Country’s territory, a person from China used Mi Country’s satellites to draw a pentagram in Mi Country’s sky…This isn’t just about Kevin Walker losing, it’s about Mi Country losing, we lost!”
As if he had heard a funny joke, Jask laughed for a long while, gently shaking his head:
“Mi Country might have lost, and we might have lost, but how could Kevin Walker possibly lose?”
Jask got up from the steel structure he had been leaning against, leaned over the railing in front of him, and looked up at the moon emerging from a cloud:
“Although Kevin Walker is a coward, how could he possibly lose?”
“After all…he is [Turing].”
