Logically speaking, even if a person obtained this anomaly, they wouldn't use it so recklessly.
As the account continued to spend without restraint, a large amount of currency that shouldn't exist in the market began to circulate, causing the already unstable Indian economy to easily collapse.
The news couldn't be hidden any longer. Every country that had joined the global council already knew that the excess real money wasn't a mistake by the Indian government bank, but rather an anomaly that automatically produced it.
If it was the government that actively issued the money, they could still control it, but since it was an anomaly … the country's upper echelons who already knew the horror of the anomaly immediately cut off foreign exchange from India.
This caused the country's currency to depreciate even further, causing India to suffer huge economic losses every single day.
"Your methods are useless! Economic manipulation can't save India! "an anxious Indian suddenly shouted.
Bai Ge looked over and saw a large group of people trying to come up with a solution, but they couldn't come up with any good ideas. Instead, the Indian government official was having a hard time.
The people from the Ministry of Harmony were also there, but they quickly returned dejectedly.
An expert spoke up: "For now, we can only try to close the bank. We need to understand all of its characteristics first, perhaps after we close the bank, the money won't flow into the hands of the people"
Another expert spoke up: "We also need to close all of the world's online trading channels that cooperate with this bank, this account won't be able to spend money anymore"
Money was stored in an account, but the extra money that appeared out of nowhere was first stored in the banking system.
Only when the account was spent and someone else withdrew the money would the money be taken out.
If these two aspects were blocked, they might be able to stop the situation from spreading.
Bai Ge abruptly asked from the side: "Have you ever thought about getting rid of the paper money? What if the legal currency was physical currency? "
If it was physical currency, while there were disadvantages to the inflation, at least the 'resource' itself was still growing.
However, Song Lan spoke up: "We've already tried this method. Today, India secretly passed a resolution to print a new type of gold coin and establish it as one of the country's legal currencies. Furthermore, the salaries of the country's civil servants would be paid in gold coins. But it's useless … the anomaly is still producing new rupees "
Bai Ge said, "Perhaps the change is not thorough enough. I mean the complete abolition of paper currency and the circulation of currency is purely based on physical currency. Otherwise, as the currency that accounts for a larger proportion of paper currency, it would definitely still produce new rupees."
"It's impossible to completely abolish paper money. It's very difficult to support India's monetary system purely with some kind of physical currency. Even if they could do it, just the preparation work would take several years. Perhaps they could spend a year minting the coins and then forcefully push it out. But what kind of currency will India use during this one year? "an expert asked.
"That's too presumptuous. Directly abolishing paper currency would have a worse impact than the current inflation situation. It would instantly cause the Indian economy to collapse to the bottom. If the government hastily takes out physical currency and wants to issue it, the people won't agree at all … They might prefer to trade in foreign currencies. When the time comes, they might even use RMB. If this anomaly effect spreads and they start producing RMB, we won't even have a place to cry … "
The experts all spoke at once. They all had a bottom line, which was that the anomaly effect must not be allowed to spread.
If it spreads to any country's currency, that country's economy would suffer. Even more seriously, if this anomaly affects the entire world, forget e-commerce, it might even cause humanity to directly regress to the era of paper currency.
In short, since it only harmed the rupee, then the status quo must be maintained, and the legal significance of the rupee must not be denied. At least the rupee was still usable. If the government denied it, the people would make a fuss, and the anomalies would be judged based on what the people used, then it would be over.
Although that was the theory, they didn't understand Bai Ge's thoughts at all.
Bai Ge wasn't just taking things for granted, he was truly investigating the use of this anomaly.
To minimize the harm of the anomaly, and to promote the benefits of humanity. This was the principle Bai Ge had learned after so many times of containment.
"It's closed, we've stopped all online remittance cooperation with all banks in the world, all banks in the world will refuse to cooperate with our electronic funds transfer. Our bank can't communicate with any UnionPay right now" one of the experts shouted.
This immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone began to pay attention to the computer next to them, watching the movements of the account.
Never mind that account, all the accounts in the Indian bank couldn't conduct online transactions, nor could they make inter-bank transfers.
Although this would cause a huge economic loss, they had no choice but to do so against an anomaly.
"The account can't spend anymore!" after waiting for a long time, an Indian exclaimed.
Another person spoke up: "Nonsense, all of our bank's users can't spend anymore. Never mind spending, they can't even transfer funds normally"
When people transfer money online, there would still be someone from the bank to handle it. Although they were borrowing the system, as long as the system's automatic processing was turned off and the staff went to have a cup of tea, the bank would be completely paralyzed.
Then, the bank would be paralyzed. Other than a few houses left, it would be the same as nothing.
All users, whether it was on their mobile phones or computers, couldn't make any transfers, they had to go to the bank's counter and do it in person.
"They've locked it down, this … is also a containment measure, right?" Song Lan smiled.
Containment measures were a method to contain anomalies. The containment measure for the ghost account was to prevent it from spreading at the cost of the entire country's bank network being paralyzed.
However, the price of this method was simply too high. Every second that the bank's e-commerce business was shut down was an economic loss. Countless people's assets were locked up, their business activities were blocked, and their anger would be borne by the bank and the government.
"What do we do? Can't we get it out of here? Our bank can't stay like this forever … "the Indian official said with a sad face.
They did manage to lock up the anomaly, but what was the point of that? At the request of every country, it was fine if they only shut it down for a few hours, but were they going to keep it like this forever? Then what about the bank? What about the government? What about the billions of people's assets? Line up?
In just a single afternoon, banks all over the country were packed with people.
"I can't transfer money between banks? What about my foreign business? "
"I can't do it at home, and I have to come here personally? Just don't open it! "
Countless people were protesting, the scene on the streets was very chaotic. Many officials who didn't know the truth were also very angry, crazily accusing the top officials and banking institutions.
The Indian official who participated in the global council couldn't withstand the pressure and anxiously said to the representatives of other countries.
"No! No! If we have to open it … let it inflate! It's only 10 trillion, the rupee's depreciation can still be used. "
The representatives of other countries couldn't say much. This method was effective against anomalies, but at the national level, it was simply a terrible idea.
The people of other countries naturally felt that containment of anomalies was more important. But the Indian official couldn't care less at the moment, he would rather let the other party go.
Moreover, there was also a certain kind of luck, maybe after 10 trillion was spent, the account would automatically disappear?
Of course, a fluke was a fluke after all. In the eyes of the representatives of other countries, the anomalies wouldn't disappear just like that. After destroying the rupee, they might run to the banks of other countries. If they were to go after the dollar next time, the global economy would be affected.
The representatives of other countries tried to persuade them, but they still had to respect India's choice.
"We can only take one step at a time." Song Lan sighed.
Everyone stared at the ghost account. Not long after the bank restarted operations, it started to spend again.
10 billion … 100 billion … 1 trillion …
The flow of funds made everyone blush with shame.
Everyone was waiting for the money in the account to run out, they wanted to see what would happen if it was used up.
There were still a few trillion in the account, so much money that it couldn't be used up.
Bai Ge lost interest after looking at it for a bit. He took out his phone and repeatedly confirmed it.
Disregarding Ling Dang and himself, the red dot was indeed at the location of the bank's server.
"Song Lan, you've also determined the exact location of the anomaly through flying noodles god, why didn't you just destroy the server?" Bai Ge asked.
Song Lan replied: "We've already destroyed it. It's not a server, but a piece of data inside, so we suspect that the one using the account might be an internet ghost. We've already tried, as soon as we destroyed the server, it would immediately appear in the branch's server. If we destroyed all the branch's servers, it might appear in the other bank's system. To prevent it from spreading, we didn't continue with this kind of meaningless physical attack "
"Furthermore, we couldn't shut it down, so we kept the system open while telling the staff to refuse to deal with it. Then, we told UnionPay to remove this bank's name and terminate all cooperation with e-commerce companies. That's what we did just now. Only by doing so can we prevent it from moving while also keeping it locked down. "
Bai Ge nodded, already having a plan in mind.
I've found this anomaly's identification range. The System it's in must have a transaction channel, even if it's only a counter type of transaction, it must still have one. Otherwise, it would be treated as if the server had been destroyed, causing it to jump ship to another system.
"In the end, it still needs to be attached to a physical object, which makes things easier."
