The Red Sea issue is far off, but the loss of control over the internet is imminent. Countries have their own extreme censorship and public opinion control capabilities, all prepared for the purpose of maintaining stability. The failure to control the internet, the largest and most powerful instant communication tool in human history, is enough to enrage the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.

Many technicians who were on vacation or asleep were woken up and forced to start working 007, and then they couldn't do anything.

Seriously, no matter what they do, the live stream continues as usual, and the video quality even gets better and better. It's absolutely ridiculous. Their dismissive attitude shows their contempt for the technology that allows humans to control the internet.

"Pull the switch!"

Okay, cutting off the power is indeed the simplest method, and one or two companies can do that. But what if someone had access to all the servers and could stream the content on any software with live streaming capabilities?

We can't have the internet go down all over the world; the losses would be devastating to the financial system.

Moreover, it's not just live broadcasts that are connected to the internet; there are also other industrial, agricultural, military, and civilian facilities and products. With the internet already embedded in human life, becoming an external virtual organ for humanity, when internet access is taken away, all countries can do is watch helplessly and force technical personnel to work harder, and all they can do is pray.

I hope that the Saiyan of Ommi™ is real.

In the end, the technical staff could only adopt a passive attitude of "I'm trying my best, but I can't do anything about it" to deal with the superiors' orders. They were basically saying, "You're going to mess with me anyway, and there's nothing I can do about it. Besides, it's something we all can't do. There's no one to punish everyone. If you have any complaints, go talk to the mastermind behind it. What does it have to do with us programmers who only make a few thousand a month?"

And so, under the watchful eyes of the world, the "Red Sea Incident," which would later be recorded in history, began.

Chapter 7: Damn it, here we go again!

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! What kind of special effects are these?"

"No, no, no, this looks like a live stream! It's not special effects, it's real!"

"Wang Defa, is it true or false?"

"This is live footage, with special effects, right? It looks pretty realistic."

"Don't be ridiculous, I swear on my profession, this is definitely not special effects."

"It's confirmed that the US has S.H.I.E.L.D."

People on the internet don't care whether their own government is overwhelmed or not; it's not something they should be concerned about anyway. After all, if the country says it can't do anything about something, ordinary people can basically just watch helplessly.

At this moment, the aircraft carrier was already hovering 100 meters in the air, and the friendly forces below were at a loss.

Who knows if this is a secret experiment by the US government or something else? Even if it's an enemy attack, at least give us a target. But where is the enemy?

Fortunately, they soon no longer needed to be confused, as Tirpitz, who was hiding in the shadows, unfolded his ship equipment.

Once fully deployed, the ship girls' equipment can be customized to change their appearance according to their own needs. In addition, the equipment of German ship girls already has a deep-sea style, and now it is just an amplification and a certain degree of camouflage.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of at least two billion internet users worldwide, a bottomless dark vortex suddenly appeared in the sky, followed by a roaring metal dragon that lunged at the USS Eisenhower.

In terms of size, the black metal dragon is not larger than the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier, but the visual impact of its unfolding makes everyone feel that it is much more dangerous than an aircraft carrier. Especially when the metal dragon bites off a large piece of the carrier's deck armor and begins to feast, everyone feels a chill down their spine.

Although the exact mechanism by which the dragon captures the aircraft carrier remains unclear, the enemy has now been identified.

"Fire! Fire now!"

"Target: The black dragon. Shoot it down!"

"Fire simultaneously!"

The firepower of modern warships is terrifying. The dense barrage is like a doomsday judgment. The black metal dragon was quickly covered by countless explosions, but it was clear to everyone that these explosions were not enough to threaten the black dragon's life.

Because the other side was still leisurely gnawing at the US aircraft carrier, and didn't even bother to deal with this level of harassment.

Yes, it really is harassment. The firepower of modern warships is like a tickle to a ninth-level superhuman, or even a scratch through a boot. They have energy shields, a technology that only appears in science fiction works and is extremely unreasonable in reality.

The country most in an uproar at this moment was naturally the United States. Even Biden, who was always a step behind in everything, was dragged up to hold an emergency meeting. The people in the White House watched the bizarre scene being broadcast live, and everyone's expression was as if they had seen Ara Ichito.

"Oh my god, I must be dreaming today."

"Gentlemen, this is not a dream, it is reality, a reality that shatters any previous reality."

"Where did this thing come from?!"

"More important than this, we need to address this issue immediately: America's dignity is being trampled upon!"

The live broadcast showed that the firepower of modern warships was completely ineffective against this dragon. Humanity's most prized war machines were merely food for the dragon. While it's intriguing how the dragon ate and digested the food, the prerequisite is obtaining and studying it. Otherwise, this unexpected incident will only become a historical embarrassment for the United States.

"The live stream can't be stopped at all right now. I suspect there's someone else directing this dragon from behind the scenes."

"Discussing these things is pointless. What we need to deal with first is this dragon. It would be best if we could capture it, even if it's just its remains."

In fact, the first to receive the news were not the White House, but Wall Street, since that is the true heart of the United States.

Wall Street tycoons immediately recognized the value of the metal dragon, but after seeing the combined firepower of other warships, they also realized that this was not a problem that the US military could solve in a short time.

Nuclear weapons might be an option, but using them would involve many problems.

Don't assume that just because the US often throws things around, it can be shameless in its use of nuclear weapons.

The reality is that if the United States dares to use nuclear weapons, then a mushroom cloud will rise on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield. The Russians will not care what reason the United States has for using nuclear weapons. Anyway, if you use them, I will use them in return. This is the best way to maintain strategic nuclear balance, flex our muscles and deterrence. It can definitely force Ukraine back to the negotiating table, and even force the European Union to be at their mercy. It is extremely cost-effective.

With such a high level of temptation, it would be hard for the Russians not to be tempted.

Moreover, there is the issue of collateral damage after a nuclear explosion. The Red Sea is home to many of America's allies or nominally pro-Western countries. If a nuclear bomb were to detonate the Red Sea, Israel's situation would become even more difficult.

Oh, and damn it, there's also Israel. It's not impossible that they'll use nuclear weapons sometime, after all, they took away the successor to "Mein Kampf," and now their father is really unruly!

Moreover, there is a mysterious Eastern power watching from the side (India: It is I).

Thinking of this, everyone in the White House instantly felt a headache coming on. Once upon a time, America looked down on everyone, but now it can't even fight the Houthis without coughing and wheezing. Why can't the world operate according to our wishes? Damn it!

Complaints aside, we still need to find solutions. The problem is that conventional military forces are not working. Although there are many military bases around, they are just a matter of quantity, not quality. Reality is not a health bar game where you can forcibly lose health points. If you can't break through, you can't break through. Even if rifle bullets hit the frontal armor of a tank until the barrel is destroyed, it is impossible to penetrate its defenses.

Moreover, the US military's current ammunition reserves are not very abundant. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Russia-Ukraine war have already squeezed the deindustrialized US ammunition reserves to the brink of depletion. What they are using now are freshly produced ammunition. They are just short of importing ammunition from China. The ammunition at overseas military bases is dwindling with each use, and there may not actually be much left. In the end, it may all be inexplicably thrown out to balance accounts. It's really making people more and more defensive.

The people in the White House aren't unaware of the current situation of the US military; in fact, they know it all too well, which is why they're going crazy now.

Couldn't these people be less greedy? At least they could be of some use in a critical moment, even if it's just a little bit. In the end, they're useless at everything and never get enough to eat. How can America be governed properly with these rotten apples around?

"What is that?"

A sharp-eyed aide noticed a new change in the live stream footage.

Meanwhile, the soldiers on the front lines were even more acutely aware of this change, because another dragon had arrived!

At this moment, the European and American officers and soldiers escorting ships in the Red Sea were truly stuck in Bengbu.

Damn it, they're doing it again!

Section 8: The actors gave their all, and the audience responded enthusiastically.

In the famous Japanese game "Brave Boy Teases Evil Dragon Sister", the relationship between the two sides is very classic.

That means whenever a villain appears, a hero will definitely come to the rescue; the main theme is clarity and transparency.

Without needing to expend extra brain cells, you can tell who the protagonist and who the boss are just by looking at the visuals.

Therefore, Khorne is loyal, and the other three vendors are the villains (I'm sure of it).

Tirpitz's dragon has successfully taken over, and now it's time for the messenger of justice to appear. Rodney, in his white metallic form, descends from the sky, and the two engage in a thrilling battle that ignites the sea.

It was truly exhilarating. The visuals, the special effects, the lighting—it was exactly what we wanted, a lifelike recreation in perfect proportion. There were even European and American warships alongside it, along with the ravaged and mangled wreckage of an aircraft carrier. Such a grand production was something even the Soviet Union's "War and Peace" couldn't have achieved.

However, the above mentality only applies to the audience on the other side of the screen. For the people on the scene, it's like gods fighting and mortals suffering. For example, the Italian destroyer next to them, oh no, it's leaking, it's leaking, the Italian ship is leaking urine, quickly use Biden's urine... Okay, give up on the rescue, it's already sunk.

Qin Shan's arrangement for the two actors' performance was very simple: make the special effects look very intense. Their main task was not to fight to the death, but to clear out the surrounding warships and ships.

To put it bluntly, the performance isn't important, nor is the live broadcast, but the complete annihilation of European and American warships is very important.

Thus, the two sides put on a fierce show of collateral damage. A moment later, the black dragon was shot down from the sky, landing right on an American warship. Given the mass and size of the North Carolina warship after its deployment, even a Ford-class aircraft carrier would be overjoyed, let alone a small destroyer. It was instantly cut in two, like a magic sword, and transformed into a deep-sea fleet in no time.

As for running, haha, can they even run? These two are moving at supersonic speed, fully demonstrating the terrifying combat power and mobility of ninth-level superhumans. Everything below is a target; it's just a matter of whether anything falling from the sky will hit them.

Moreover, it's not just the direct attack of ship equipment falling down, but also the indirect damage. When the two clashed, the waves they created were not exactly the same as Whitebeard's opening remarks during the Marineford War, but they were at least far greater. With waves a kilometer high brushing against them, human warships at this stage were like ants falling into a toilet. They don't have things like Abyssal Princesses or Abyssal Fleets.

Therefore, the mission to annihilate the Red Sea Fleet was accomplished in less than three minutes after the start of the battle. The enemy was either sinking or in the process of sinking, fully demonstrating that even without sea valves, modern warships sank faster than the Bismarck.

That's obvious. The Bismarck didn't break in two. Look at those poor bastards escorting ships in the Red Sea. Calling them Chernobog scum is an understatement. Some of them were flattened, like the Indian ship.

Oh dear, I forgot this is still Third Brother's boat. But Third Brother has a big business and doesn't care about this loss. Pigeon won't be angry, right? Of course not. Keep your anger to yourself! You're too kind.

The script arranged by Qin Shan was, of course, a classic one: good triumphed over evil, the black dragon roared as it was banished back to the warp, and the loyal Grey Knights of the Empire blessed Khorne with the wish that Super Earth would live on... Just get the gist of it; the script is a bit of a mixed bag.

The above is just a story Qin Shan told Xiaozhai and Xiaoluo as a joke when he was directing operations from the rear. In reality, there were only explosions, giant waves, and Houthi drones and cameras not far away, plus satellites outside the atmosphere.

The whole world watched this scene, or rather, watched in stunned silence as it ended.

What next?

Just then, a divine light emanated from the white metal dragon (special effects, all special effects). The sailors who were holding onto floating objects or about to drown in the sea suddenly felt a lightness on their bodies and then floated into the air. The feeling was so warm and gentle, as if they had returned to the carefree time when they were children, snuggling in their mother's arms.

Wake up, this is just a landslide effect plus a little bit of supernatural power. The warmth is because Rodney used his supernatural power to warm the people he rescued. It's just that scientific (shrug).

Although the white metallic dragon was still awe-inspiring in size, his actions had undoubtedly won everyone's favor, as he had driven away the evil and saved the innocent (pfft) soldiers.

Many soldiers hovering in mid-air clasped their hands together and looked devoutly at the giant dragon.

Whether God exists or not is unknown, but this deity is real.

No, no, no, perhaps God is a dragon. Yes, that must be it. This is the real God. Praise be to my Lord! Today I have finally seen your true face. Amen.

Human thought is amazing; it can turn into a fight over a single word, but it can also solidify one's belief in truth after a single serendipitous encounter. Now, many of the rescued soldiers are beginning to change their beliefs.

The white dragon placed them on a beach in Yemen and then slowly disappeared. The rescued sailors looked in the direction he disappeared, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

Even when the Houthi rebels from Yemen came over, they didn't think there was any problem.

They've already rescued me, are they going to take me home too?

The battle just now must have been very taxing, right? Yes, it must be. That's why we need to go back and rest. The great God is so great, we admire Him immensely.

Actually, the rescue was also part of Qin Shan's plan, including dumping these people on the beach. This way, Yemen would have many cards to play, and the United States would be more constrained in its actions in the Red Sea.

Qin Shan enjoys being able to save the world while causing trouble for disgusting guys.

And so, the world-changing "Red Sea Incident" came to an end. One white, one black, two giant dragons, a live broadcast covering the entire world, a battle between justice and darkness—it couldn't be simpler. Even those with a "happy education" mindset from Europe and America could understand this straightforward visual presentation. However, for governments around the world, this event was shrouded in the aura of conspiracy.

Those who are involved in politics are all smart people, at least in some way. They're good at intrigue and scheming every day. So this live broadcast and the war in the Red Sea look like a performance.

Well, it looks like a performance, but no one can guarantee that it is. Or rather, when the destructive power is so great that even an aircraft carrier has to be brought to its knees in an instant, people with an IQ higher than a bench need to think one more layer, or even many more layers.

Could this be... some kind of warning?

Section 8: Upper Intensity

(This was written while I had a stomach flu, so the chapter is a bit short. I hope you won't mind. (Ding Yiding))

When we were young, we thought the world should have a right and wrong, but when we grew up, damn it, people who just wanted to have fun were the ones who were happier.

The premise is that you yourself are not made a laughing stock; only on that basis can you enjoy the fun of the whole world.

Indeed, pleasure is the essence of humanity (I'm convinced).

"Admiral, I'm back~"

Because he left the scene first, Bei Zhai, who was the first to return home, immediately clung to Qin Shan as soon as he entered the door, saying that he wanted the admiral to feel his hard work.

Yes, I felt it. It's big, bouncy, and tough.

Holding Beizhai in his arms and stroking her fur, Lexington brought over a fruit platter, smiled, and sat down beside her without saying a word.

As expected of the wife, she possesses the powerful aura of a legal wife.

Of course, my sister-in-law is nice too; she's the one who cut this fruit.

"Admiral, give me a hug. You're already holding one big one, so you can add a little one too."

Xiao Zhai and Xiao Luo can indeed do whatever they want; they're kids, after all, and they can enjoy the privilege of being lifted high in the air. However, Qin Shan's arms are only so long, and his body is only so big; he can't just bounce off.

Hmmmm, wait a minute, how did it veer into the realm of the bizarre?

Just as everyone was having a good time, Rodney returned, and the plan went very smoothly.

"Very good, let's get down to business."

Beizhai obediently stepped out of Qin Shan's arms, unfolded her ship equipment, and began to organize a large amount of data, including mainstream opinions on the internet from various countries and the official attitudes of various governments.

Of course, North Carolina wouldn't know about matters discussed in places where the internet is completely disconnected, but government decisions are inevitably influenced by the macro environment. Therefore, through this information, the attitudes of governments around the world are basically clear.

First, the US government publicly condemned the terrorist attack.
