Chapter 167 - Chapter 167 Network Monopoly

The secretary revealed the terrible truth.

Just now, all communication satellites from WCN were destroyed at the same time.

And WCN's satellite network collapsed instantly.

The hearts of many high-level executives in the meeting skipped a beat.

They didn't need to think about who did this.

"Activate the backup communication network and find out what happened first," the chairman calmly commanded.

Soon, WCN restored temporary regional communication using ground network facilities.

As for the satellite network, it would take a long time to rebuild it in the current situation.

WCN's satellite network took nearly a century to reach its current scale, but it was destroyed overnight.

Besides WCN itself, the entire world was affected by the collapse of the satellite network.

Any high-quality network communication now requires the use of a satellite network.

The transmission of telephone, Military, computer, and commercial data were all within the service range of the satellite network.

As WCN monopolized the satellite network industry, it almost took on all the orders for these services.

Now that the satellite network had completely collapsed, all activities of these companies were brought to a standstill, and it even caused deeper losses.

Every second lost without a network could bring huge losses to these companies.

For a time, the entire world was thrown into chaos due to the disconnection of the satellite network, resembling the scene during the great network collapse of the past.

The difference this time was that they had a new network to choose from, which was the Ascension Network.

They didn't know what exactly happened to WCN, but people all over the world could clearly see a series of explosions in the sky.

Combined with the paralyzed network, they also had a rough idea of what happened to WCN and no longer held out hope for WCN.

These companies had no time to bother with WCN immediately. Instead, they rushed to try whether Ascension Technology could help them overcome the difficulty of the network paralysis.

In an instant, the number of users of Ascension Technology reached an unprecedented level.

Unlike before when most users were free netizens, this time, the users flocking to the Ascension Network were various companies and governments from all over the world.

They needed Ascension Technology to provide them with network support to carry out interrupted commercial and Military activities.

And WCN, which had just restored emergency communication, received a large number of complaints and termination notices from companies and governments, and even a large number of companies demanded that WCN bear the losses caused by the network collapse.

Although all of this was within their expectations, when facing this situation, the people of WCN were clearly somewhat overwhelmed.

If only individual companies had suffered losses, they wouldn't have to worry at all. With their strong strength and influence, they could easily resolve it.

But the scope of the impact this time was too large, and WCN simply couldn't face the pressure from these companies at the same time.

This time, WCN's long-term foundation was not only destroyed, but it might even be pushed into an bottomless abyss by the pressure from these former clients, without even a chance to recover.

No company would refuse the opportunity to extract benefits from a giant about to fall.

It could be said that WCN basically had no chance of recovering this time.

And up to now, they still haven't figured out what method Ascension Technology used to destroy their satellites.

However, none of that mattered anymore.

Now everyone knew that WCN had lost this war completely, and WCN had lost all ability to counterattack.

And while everyone was focused on the collapse of the satellite network.

On the other side, problems also began to appear in the city networks around the world, and sensitive hackers immediately discovered the unusualness in the network.

Various rogue AIs began to travel through the network, and the usual Network Surveillance was nowhere to be seen.

Soon, hackers who were at odds with Network Surveillance began to investigate the abnormality of Network Surveillance, and then discovered a shocking secret.

That was, Network Surveillance was fully dealing with the riot of the Blackwall.

And even so, the problem of the Blackwall was still getting worse.

With the promotion of these hackers, this secret was also quickly made public.

Although Network Surveillance tried its best to suppress the spread of the news, they simply didn't have more energy to deal with these annoying hackers.

Not to mention that they intended to deal with it, but encountered obvious resistance.

When Network Surveillance figured out that all this resistance came from Arasaka's network department, Network Surveillance knew that things were out of their control, and completely gave up struggling.

They took the initiative to step forward and explained the situation of the Blackwall.

The appearance of Network Surveillance officially confirmed the fact that the Blackwall was about to collapse.

People hadn't recovered from the collapse of the satellite network, and this explosive news shocked everyone once again.

Almost everyone, whether they had experienced the Great Collapse period or not, must have heard of or felt its terror.

It can be said that if the Blackwall really collapsed, then people all over the world would have to experience the darkest hour again.

No one wanted to personally experience the horror behind the Blackwall.

Ascension Network naturally became everyone's network refuge and the only network that could be used normally.

All the targeting and restrictions by companies and governments on the Ascension Network before naturally fell apart.

Because now, besides the Ascension Network, they had no other network to choose from.

In this way, Ascension Technology, through taking action against WCN and the collapse of the Blackwall.

Successfully monopolized the use of networks all over the world.

And at this time, people all over the world clearly realized the strength of Ascension Technology.

This company, which suddenly appeared in the eyes of people all over the world, not only defeated Military Technology on the battlefield but also successfully built a secure network connecting the entire world.

Their strength is definitely not inferior to any super company, and it is even possible that they will become the most powerful company in the world today.

However, although Ascension Technology successfully entered the public eye, it did not receive a good reputation.

Since the release of the Ascension Network, the various deeds they have done have shown people a new powerful company rising frantically, almost flying the entire business world.

And none of the current giant companies are good things.

The idea that companies are equivalent to exploitation has been deeply engraved in people's consciousness.

Not to mention that first, WCN's satellite network exploded completely, and then the Blackwall collapsed. The ultimate beneficiary of these events was Ascension Technology.

No one would believe that these were not the means used by Ascension Technology to monopolize the network.
