In front of him, we are all ordinary people. This statement seems more gentle, allowing everyone to feel slightly more comfortable, enabling the meeting to continue.
An academic editor adjusted his glasses, his tone carrying the usual arrogance: "Yang Ping's theory is too radical and lacks sufficient peer-reviewed data support. We can completely challenge its scientific rigor through academic channels and marginalize it."
"Your strategy is not wrong, but never really believe that his theory is too radical. Initially, his Spatial Orientation Gene Theory was much more radical than this, yet it was successfully applied in practice. Objectively speaking, none of us present here can truly understand or comprehend his Spatial Orientation Theory." Helen reminded everyone once again.
The anger that had just subsided was reignited. The editor said seriously, "Helen..."
Helen waved her hand: "Continue... I mean no offense, I'm sorry..."
"Marginalization alone is not enough." The "strategic advisor", with a blurry silhouette, slowly spoke, his voice low, carrying an undeniable sense of authority, "It shakes the foundation on which we survive—the system of technology and standards. We must make the other side understand that the cost of challenging the existing order is something they cannot bear. It must be given a devastating blow while still in the budding state."
The meeting room fell into a brief silence, with a cold substance named "consensus" permeating the air. Everyone understood that the confrontation must escalate.
"Then, let's escalate the Trojan Plan." Carl Mueller finally decided with a final word, a cruel arc at the corner of his mouth, "Let us send those friends who attempt 'Breaking Wall' an unforgettable 'gift'."
The Iron Curtain fell with a bang.
The "Trojan Plan", a code name with deceit and destruction at its core, began to gradually reveal its sinister full picture. Its attack was no longer targeted at Yang Ping's research group alone but covered the entire biomedical research and industry across China.
...
Almost simultaneously, hundreds of high-end instruments distributed in dozens of top universities, research institutes, and large pharmaceutical R&D centers in China—including but not limited to high-end genetic sequencing machines, cryo-electron microscopes, mass spectrometers, and fully automatic cell culture systems—suddenly emitted piercing alarms during operation. On their screens, no longer the familiar operating interface, a cold line of prompts in multiple languages suddenly appeared:
"Unauthorized use environment detected. According to the End User License Agreement (EULA) and relevant export control laws, the equipment has been remotely locked. Please contact your local authorized service provider. Error code: EC-99."
The laboratories were in chaos. Researchers stared in disbelief at these treasures, worth millions or tens of millions, suddenly turning into heaps of scrap metal. Critical experimental data was sealed inside, unable to be read; the ongoing sample preparation process was forcibly interrupted, with invaluable samples possibly being ruined. Phones rang off the hook, with equipment suppliers and customer service centers consistently saying: the issue stems from a "system security policy update", and that the solution requires "headquarters' evaluation", with a time frame "undetermined."
All these devices had one common trait, which was that they underwent the so-called prohibited operations, necessary for Yang Ping's project.
Meanwhile, those R&D teams reliant on foreign industrial design software, data analysis platforms, and professional simulation tools also found their license authorizations suddenly ineffective. Unable to model, unable to simulate, unable to analyze data. The entire digitized process of research and development was completely severed.
Similarly, they conducted the so-called prohibited operations.
This was a meticulously planned "technological blitzkrieg", aimed not only at paralyzing the "Breaking Wall" alliances' R&D but also at delivering a "surgical strike" on China's entire biomedical research capability, creating maximum panic and chaos.
What followed immediately was a comprehensive cut-off of key reagents and consumables. Previously unhindered international orders were unilaterally canceled, and logistics information of shipped goods eerily stalled at customs or transfer centers. Some critical enzymes, specific antibodies, cytokines, and rare chemical materials disappeared from inventory records overnight. Without these "ammunition", even the most brilliant scientists couldn't accomplish their work, forcing numerous cutting-edge projects to a halt.
Within giants like BG, all scientists and engineers of Chinese descent, particularly those involved in core R&D positions, felt unprecedented pressure. Unnecessary international travel applications were denied, access permissions re-audited, and participation in some sensitive projects suspended. Covert and effective "reminders" and "conversations" were conducted in private, revolving around "complying with confidentiality agreements" and "recognizing one's position". An invisible glass cage quietly formed, preventing any key technology and data from leaking with personnel movement.
On media and academic frontlines, assaults were launched simultaneously. Several globally influential media outlets published similarly-worded opinion pieces almost at the same time, depicting the "Breaking Wall Plan" as a "malicious act of technology theft," accusing it of "disrupting the global innovation ecosystem" and "ignoring intellectual property rights." In academia, well-known scholars closely tied to BG spoke at important conferences, questioning the "repeatability" and "physical basis" of Yang Ping's theory, labeling it as "wildly fanciful." They used their influence to stop related papers from being published in top journals, attempting to strangle it at the academic source.
