The rise of nanometers

Karina's next stop is Berlin, Germany.

Just as the sky was getting dark in Paris, in the Maple Leaf Country on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, in the Peninsula Manor on the island of Newfoundland.

It was still noon.

However, due to the relatively high latitude, Newfoundland is still in a short spring at the end of April.

Swinging the golf club hard, a small ball flew out with a bang. The ball was flying on the green grass.

As soon as Thomas stopped, he saw the butler Wilton running over.

Wilton panted slightly and said in his ear: "Sir, it's an emergency. Karina and the Maple Leaf Group may have been exposed."

Thomas, who was holding the club, suddenly changed his expression slightly: "Can you confirm?"

"Karina reported the relevant situation to the Xizhou branch through emergency channels. After she checked into the Champs Elysees Hotel in Paris, she found that her suitcase had been secretly searched, and there were surveillance cameras and bugs in the room."

After hearing this situation, Thomas showed a thoughtful look in his eyes, and after a while he ordered: "Let Karina act according to the original plan, and format it if necessary!"

"Yes, sir." Wilton nodded.

Disturbed by this matter, Thomas was not in the mood to continue playing. Instead, he returned to the study and quickly summoned several subordinates.

Obviously, the exposure of Karina and the Maple Leaf Group this time caught Thomas's remnants off guard and disrupted his plan to enter space.

Judging from Karina's feedback, the people investigating her this time were not only people from Gaul, but also other forces.

Thomas knew that the forces that had the ability to investigate him at this stage, besides the Western Continent Alliance, were the Noah Society, Greater China, and Lucia.

In the study room.

Three masked men appeared in front of him. After listening to Thomas' statement, the three people's eyes became solemn.

The woman wearing the K of Hearts mask said in a low voice: "Sir, could it be that we have leaked relevant information internally?"

"K of Hearts, you are too sensitive! Our technology can screen out all spies, and it is impossible for core members to be penetrated..." the thin man wearing a K of Diamonds mask retorted.

But the King of Hearts did not show weakness, but reminded: "Don't forget about Hank."

"Hank..." Diamond K also fell silent.

The reason why they suffered heavy losses in North America was because Hank, the deputy director of Brain Court, lost control, causing the organization's intelligence to be leaked.

Thomas, who was silent, was also thinking about this issue. Although he was very confident in his skills, the successive setbacks still caused him to reflect.

Is it true that there are still people who have bypassed the brain reading test, or is the brainwashing incomplete?

Questions appeared in Thomas's mind one after another. Suddenly he remembered something, and his face suddenly became uncertain.

Could it be him?

impossible! Thomas shook his head, driving that ridiculous thought out of his mind.

The King of Diamonds, the King of Hearts, and the Ace of Spades were also thinking, but no matter how hard they thought, they just couldn't find out which link on their side was showing off.

Puzzled, Thomas could only order a secret internal investigation and conduct a new internal review.

At the same time, prepare to give up Maple Leaf Group, Karina and others.

Although the vest that had been prepared for several years was suddenly scrapped, which made Thomas very embarrassed, he was not an impulsive person, and he had to continue to endure when it was time to endure.

…

Ancient island.

Guantánamo base.

After reading the information that had just been fed back, Chu Xuan showed a smile that showed he was in control.

Yang Deqi, who had just returned from South America, also saw this information and said with a smile: "Team Chu, it seems Thomas has taken the bait."

"Strengthen the monitoring of Thomas' remnants. We must catch these rats this time." Chu Xuan said with clenched fists.

"Understood, I'm ready."

This time the information about Karina and the Maple Leaf Group was leaked, it was actually Chu Xuan who deliberately disclosed it to the CIA and the Xizhou Alliance.

The purpose is self-evident, which is to kill people with a borrowed knife and to arouse others.

On the one hand, it uses intelligence agencies such as the CIA to suppress the living space of Thomas's remnants; on the other hand, it uses a series of strikes to force Thomas to take action.

If Thomas had been hiding, Chu Xuan would not have been able to discover all the hidden forces of the other party. After all, this guy was too stubborn.

Therefore, Thomas must be forced to have internal doubts. As soon as he has doubts, he must initiate an internal investigation.

And this is exactly what Chu Xuan hopes. For a hidden poisonous snake, it must be disturbed before it can be made to move.

In intelligence work, the opponent Chu Xuan least wanted to encounter was the kind of guy who was taciturn and like a stone.

If the other party is motionless, it will naturally be difficult to detect the problem, so if they want to find a way to make Thomas move, as long as they move, they must contact each other and confirm each other's loyalty.

Thomas, who has brain reading technology, if he wants to ensure the absolute loyalty of his subordinates, using brain reading to investigate is the most accurate and fastest solution.

The Intelligence Department also has the Shunfeng Er system and global big data screening, coupled with the low-orbit monitoring satellite system, few people can escape the surveillance of the Intelligence Department.

What's more, Chu Xuan has another thought.

That is, Thomas wants to give his subordinates a brain-reading test. The brain-reading equipment is not fabricated out of thin air. This kind of thing requires a high technical and economic foundation.

At least 8 of the 37 supporting chips for brain-reading devices require chip processes within 20 nanometers.

The brain-reading device developed by Thomas and Killian back then was built using a chicken-and-egg approach with the support of the Noah Society.

And after Noah discovers Thomas's wolf ambition, it is naturally impossible for him to obtain Silicon Valley chips.

Not to mention the same chips from Greater China. Even if Samsung wants to design and produce chips, the overall framework and design plan must be submitted to the Semiconductor Association for review.

As for the three chip manufacturers in the Western Continent Alliance and the chip manufacturing plant in Judah, their craftsmanship is not high, and the strongest can only produce 18-nanometer chips.

Moreover, these chip factories are filled with intelligence personnel from all parties.

Chu Xuan had reason to believe that the brain-reading device in Thomas' hands had become an orphan version. Even if he stockpiled some chips in advance, he would still be using one less chip.

It's not that he looks down on Thomas, but the chip manufacturing industry is really not something that ordinary regions can do, especially high-level chip production lines. There are only two systems in the world that can do it.

Every piece of equipment in the production line has special coding and management, so there is basically no possibility of smuggling.

This is also the reason why Chu Xuan made up his mind to engage Thomas. As long as the other party's layout in Noah's Society and North America is destroyed and the support of the industrial base is lost, the new technology faction will naturally collapse.

After all, this is the real world, not a magical world created out of thin air.

The more developed the technology, the higher the foundation required. Without the support of the chip industry, Thomas's brain-reading equipment cannot expand in scale and can only use hidden inventory.

After investigating the other party for almost half a year, Chu Xuan has obtained a lot of information about Thomas' remnants.

Currently, there are 637 confirmed personnel, 2,836 suspected personnel, 16 secret bases, and 53 strongholds...
