At this moment in the Island Nation, Sony Corporation's upper management was continuously discussing matters related to placing a blockade on Corona Technology Company.
Uehara Takuto was an executive at Sony Corporation. Recently, they had suffered greatly. Their leaders had flown into a rage, demanding to know how a company from China had managed to develop a Virtual Reality Helmet several times more powerful than products of the same generation from Sony.
According to Uehara Takuto, Corona Technology Company must have integrated technology from HTC's related industries. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to develop such a product.
However, their subsequent investigation revealed that the other side had undergone a technological explosion—in other words, they had overtaken everyone on a curve. Faced with such a situation, there was nothing they could do.
They had carefully studied the product's technology and found that it was essentially unrelated to Sony's PSVR Virtual Reality Helmet, leaving them somewhat at a loss.
"No matter what, we must control their overseas sales. Join forces with other technology companies to impose a technological blockade on them, then suppress them online and cut off their traffic to a certain extent."
That was why Corona Technology Company's overseas website had been attacked so suddenly. If they did not suppress Corona Company, it would definitely affect their overseas market share and disrupt other retail sectors, such as the PC and mobile phone industries.
After all, the Virtual Helmet would certainly attract some potential consumers to buy it. Once those consumers had a substitute for a computer, they definitely would not purchase PC equipment anymore.
Uehara Takuto could only follow his leaders' orders and carry out traffic attacks and other website attacks. However, their network team discovered that the other side seemed to be continuously reinforcing its defenses.
"Mr. Uehara, the other side's reinforcement procedures seem to be constantly patching things up, and their firewall is also fixing vulnerabilities again. Their manpower and technical capabilities have exceeded our expectations."
After hearing his subordinate's report, Uehara Takuto inspected the situation personally, then let out a sigh of relief. The other side was not as formidable as imagined. With their DDoS attacks, they could instantly paralyze the other side's servers—unless the other side had several backup servers and a massive reserve of servers.
But that was unrealistic. The other side was a small company and should not have such a large server reserve. Even if they added more servers, it would be of no use. After all, besides Sony, several other major companies were also attacking those websites.
Yet before long, his subordinate brought him bad news.
"Mr. Uehara, their patching speed is simply too fast, and they have already begun counter-tracing us. We only avoided being traced because we used multiple proxy hops, but they have truly exceeded our expectations. Their team has even reached the level of a national cybersecurity technical team."
After hearing this report, Uehara Takuto was so shocked that his mouth hung open. They had reached the level of national cybersecurity? That was absolutely impossible. Yet when he checked personally, he found that the other side's website had become impregnable.
For some reason, the other side had turned all of their attacks into nothing in only a short time and was even continuously attempting to trace them back, though they apparently had not succeeded.
Uehara Takuto immediately reported the matter to his superior. To him, it was simply too unbelievable. Perhaps there were other forces backing the other side.
This had to be taken seriously, so Uehara Takuto immediately informed his leader. His leader told him to intensify the attacks and prevent the other side from tracing them back. If the matter were exposed, they would have a hard time explaining themselves.
Elsewhere, Chen Feng was sneering. He had already traced the addresses attacking him. Naturally, after filtering out addresses routed through proxies, he obtained several important locations. In other words, after screening them through the Elementary Artificial Intelligence, he already knew which companies were attacking him.
Besides Sony Corporation, Google and several other companies were also targeting his website. In other words, while they claimed to be cooperating with him on the surface, they were pulling other tricks behind the scenes.
At that thought, he immediately contacted Liu Qiuya.
Liu Qiuya was also extremely shocked. She had received reports from her subordinates that their website had stabilized and that attacks of any kind were completely ineffective.
This left the network technicians bewildered. They had never seen anything like it. However, Liu Qiuya's first thought was that Chen Feng's behind-the-scenes team had begun exerting its strength, so she told them to focus on doing their own jobs first.
Then, after receiving Chen Feng's call, Liu Qiuya happily reported to him.
"Mr. Chen Feng, our overseas website has completely stabilized. Pre-orders are continuing nonstop, and the level of interest has exceeded your expectations."
Chen Feng nodded upon hearing that. If the website had not been reinforced, he would not have called her. He wanted to tell Liu Qiuya which companies that had intended to cooperate with them were involved.
"You mean the companies planning to cooperate with us? Google and IBM also intend to enter into deep development with us, but nothing has been finalized yet. We are still discussing it. Their terms are too harsh, and we cannot accept them."
Hearing that, Chen Feng sneered and explained to Liu Qiuya.
"No problem. Reject all of those companies directly. In other words, we will cut off all ideas of cooperating with foreign companies. We cannot simply shut ourselves away, but we can cooperate with domestic companies. Or, given our company's overall strength, it would be fine not to cooperate at all."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qiuya found it very strange, but after thinking it over, she understood the reason. This attack was probably inseparably connected to those companies. Otherwise, Mr. Chen Feng would not have been so angry. However, she was finding Chen Feng increasingly difficult to understand. He truly was formidable—when he said he would solve something, he solved it.
