CHAPTER 771: CHAPTER 254: THE FEELING OF HUMILIATION

When Qiao Yu spoke these words in the livestream, only God knows how many people’s hearts suddenly tightened...

But clearly, this couldn’t be blamed on Qiao Yu.

After all, on the public screen of Huaxia Doule’s livestream, it was filled with comments like "I don’t believe it!"

Many diligent viewers were even willing to type more: "Unless you also test the security of the XX Stock Exchange."

This XX practically covered all the famous exchanges in the world.

For example, the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq Stock Exchange, Chicago Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, London International Financial Futures Exchange, Intercontinental Exchange...

Those in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, as well as Japan and Han Island next to Huaxia, and of course Huaxia itself.

Of course, some considerate netizens provided a fair analysis in the comment section as to why these people were spamming.

"Actually, brothers don’t doubt you, they just want to see a big fireworks show!"

Without a doubt, this comment was the most fair. If Qiao Yu helped test the security of the three major cryptocurrency exchanges and, along the way, tested all these stock, futures, and bond exchanges as these people suggested.

If these exchanges are really as Qiao Yu said, easily breached and even have their transactions altered, it would indeed be a great spectacle.

Under stress, it’s not entirely impossible for someone to actually launch fireworks.

In fact, when Qiao Yu started arguing with the viewers in the livestream, "Why don’t you believe me?", the global securities markets outside Huaxia, which were trading, already began showing anomalies.

Of course, it was a downward anomaly, especially tech stocks. It was a steep decline. If US stocks were open now, tech stocks listed on Nasdaq would probably fall even more.

On the contrary, in Huaxia’s stock market, all companies related to quantum started to rise against the trend. This is actually thanks to Qiao Yu’s performance in the livestream.

For instance, when someone mentioned testing Huaxia’s stock market, Qiao Yu directly replied.

"Do you even hear what you’re saying? All three of Huaxia’s trading markets have already adopted the quantum-resistant security algorithm provided by our team. Oh, I know you definitely won’t believe it.

But you can suggest that Microsoft, which owns the world’s most advanced quantum chip, also form a testing team and use their advanced quantum computing to help test if our trading markets can defend against quantum computing attacks.

Or we could have a challenge. Microsoft provides quantum security protection for Nasdaq, while we provide quantum security protection for Deep City Exchange, and then each side forms a testing team.

We evaluate the trading security of Nasdaq while Microsoft evaluates the trading security of our Deep City Exchange. I believe this will be a fair technical exchange, and we welcome Microsoft to respond to this request as soon as possible.

Those who keep urging us to assess other trading markets, take a break. It’s not that I don’t dare to, but when the camera just turned to the engineering team, it was Uncle Zheng talking to me, telling me not to mess around.

So if you really want to see the excitement, leave messages for Microsoft quickly. As long as they agree to my suggestion, I promise to satisfy everyone’s requests immediately. And it can all be livestreamed just like today, with all the technical means fully disclosed!"

...

United States, Washington State, Redmond, One Microsoft Way, Microsoft Headquarters Building conference room. At this moment, Satya Nadella had a very serious expression.

Like Brian, Satya Nadella chose to watch the livestream together with all the relevant high-level management personnel of the company in the conference room.

Of course, the reasons for both were not the same.

He needed to quickly evaluate the achievements of Qiao Yu’s team in the field of quantum technology more than those cryptocurrency exchanges, to provide a reference for the next step in decision-making.

They were similarly shocked at how quickly the entire security system of the three major cryptocurrency exchanges surrendered.

Initially, Satya Nadella had considered having Microsoft’s technical staff assist them with security upgrades before this so-called test began.

But this idea was ultimately not implemented.

The time was too short. The engineering and technical staff’s response was that even if they went, they probably wouldn’t understand the trading systems before Qiao Yu’s team started testing.

At that time, not being able to help was a small problem. If the news got out, it might leave an impression that Microsoft’s engineers were powerless against Qiao Yu’s team’s test attacks.

That would be a loss outweighing the gain.

Naturally, regarding the efficiency of Qiao Yu’s team, Satya Nadella was merely shocked and wasn’t too angry.

He started to get angry when Qiao Yu began to unscrupulously criticize the global financial system, thus putting Microsoft on the hot seat.

If Satya Nadella frequently mingled in Huaxia’s internet, he would know there is a vivid description for this mindset among Huaxia netizens—a powerless rage.

Yes, at this moment, Satya Nadella was in a state of powerless rage. However, years of helming Microsoft did not allow him to express his emotions as openly as Brian did.

At least outwardly, he still maintained his composure, but there was no doubt that he was furious inside.

If Qiao Yu were in the United States at this moment, he would probably think of ways without hesitation to make this boy physically disappear from the world forever.
