Little George's election speech was a complete mess, which made him very depressed.
But that was no longer important, because for the first time in his life, Little George was afraid of all kinds of electrical appliances. For the whole day, many electrical appliances near Little George failed, and all kinds of problems occurred.
Especially the computer. After Little George turned on his computer, the whole computer crashed after ten seconds. Then, the system could not be opened, and the screen turned blue. Little George could only ask the engineer to reinstall the system.
However, what made him speechless was that even though he had reinstalled the window system, it still crashed within a few seconds.
In short, the whole world seemed to have become extremely chaotic on this day, so much so that Little George could only continue to ride the Tesla back to his home.
Thank goodness, at least the television was working. Little George could still watch cable TV … although some channels were still not available.
But through cable TV, Little George learned that not only Noxus, but the whole United States, and even the whole civilized world, fell into an extremely bad state after January 1st, 2000!
It turned out that the traffic control failures, telephone failures, elevator failures, and computer failures that Little George experienced were only small problems. Bigger problems were happening in various industries all over the world.
For example, in the financial industry, many financial institutions were surprised to find that all the data stored in their computers had fallen into a state of chaos after going to work. Many interests were calculated repeatedly, and some data was directly erased. Some automatic withdrawals even directly swallowed cards.
A customer went to the bank to withdraw money, only to find that his savings of more than 100,000 US dollars had all been emptied. There was not a penny left. The customer was so scared that he fainted.
There was also the insurance industry. In fact, the problem was similar to the banking industry. The data was chaotic. Some insurance companies' businesses even had huge profits of 30 times … Well, that seemed to be a good thing.
In the telecommunications industry, in addition to the problem of phone calls not being able to get through, there was also a serious charge abnormality. Someone went to check his bill and found that he owed tens of millions of dollars in phone bills because he had been on the phone for 100 years.
The same thing happened to the tax bureau. A person received a sky-high fine from the tax bureau because he owed taxes for 100 years.
Some areas also had problems with the power system. For example, the power supply in Utah was completely cut off.
The most tragic ones were the hospitals. Due to power outages or various electrical equipment abnormalities, patients died in serious accidents and so on.
In the end, even the airport was affected. Many of the control radars failed. As for the air traffic control system, it was completely paralyzed. All the flights that were still on the ground were prohibited from taking off. Those that were in the sky gave up on computer assistance. They could only rely on manual calculations to slowly guide the descent.
During this process, a plane had to make an emergency landing due to a miscalculation, causing half of the fuselage to be destroyed and more than 20 passengers to die.
Such news almost occupied all the news media and newspapers in the world, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Later, some reporters were surprised to find that the more advanced the technology, the easier it was for the computer-controlled equipment to have problems. On the contrary, the mechanically-controlled equipment had no problems and was very safe to operate. This made many people exclaim that the "Terminator" had arrived, the intelligent computer Skynet that wanted to destroy mankind had arrived!
Little George was a little frightened by the news. He even wanted to call his father and ask him if he was really developing something like the Skynet when he was the president.
However, when Little George picked up the phone, he realized that the call could not go through.
Little George was almost scared to death by himself. His wife's phone suddenly rang. She got up to answer the call. However, she handed the phone to Little George after a few words.
"It's for you!" Little George's wife said.
"Thank you!" Little George nodded and took the phone. However, before he could put the phone to his ear, he suddenly looked at his wife in fear.
This woman, how could her phone go through? Why couldn't it go through mine?
Little George was confused, but he still took the phone. He then heard a man's voice that sounded a little awkward.
"Hello, may I know who you are …" The man must be close to his wife if he knew that she had to call him. However, Little George could not remember who the man was.
"Our future Commander-in-Chief, I'm Jia!" the man said with a smile.
"Oh! Mr. Jia! "Little George came to a realization. At the same time, he was pleasantly surprised. How could he not be happy? After all, Jia Yapeng was his biggest financial backer now. He had hundreds of millions of USD in political contributions. Little George could not help but support him.
However, he did not know why Jia Yapeng was so nice to him at this time.
"Could it be that he's also troubled by the end of the world?" Little George muttered in his heart, "I can run for the Commander-in-Chief, but I can't deal with the end of the world!"
"Mr. George, I have a big gift for you!" The man on the phone laughed and said, "As long as you receive my gift, I guarantee that your chances of winning the election will increase by more than ten percent!"
"Oh!" Little George completely forgot about the end of the world when he heard about the election. He quickly asked, "Mr. Jia, what gift do you have? Tell me quickly!"
"My gift is the solution to the end of the world!" Boss Jia said with a smile.

On January 2nd, 2000, the world was still shrouded in terrible problems. All kinds of electrical appliances still could not work, and flights still could not take off. Fortunately, the traffic department finally did something. They announced that on the streets with chaotic traffic, as long as people slowed down, they did not have to worry about traffic laws.
Therefore, although the world was in chaos, the people of the United States could still go to work smoothly!
However, the world's situation was still terrible. Whether it was companies, individuals, or related government departments, they were all fighting against these crazy computers.
However, some groups took the opportunity to jump out and clamor that humans should give up all high-tech and return to life as one with nature. Otherwise, at least some of the gods would be angry and destroy the whole world.
The chaos in front of them was a sign.
Needless to say, many people really believed it.
In short, in just two days, all kinds of monsters jumped out and the world was in a mess.
At this time, Fox, one of the few television stations that could use cable television networks to broadcast news live, announced that they had found the cause of this apocalyptic chaos. They would broadcast a news program in the morning to tell everyone the solution to the problem.
