Chapter 48: The Capital Storm
(1/3)
Time: Three days later
Location: Shen Group Global Command Center
The global new energy market was undergoing dramatic changes, and Tianshu Energy's capital offensive was launched in full swing. Stock prices fluctuated abnormally, energy supply nodes issued abnormal warnings frequently, and new energy reserve centers in multiple countries experienced brief paralyzation.
Zhao Ming's voice carried tension: "Yunchuan, Tianshu Energy is using high-frequency trading algorithms to manipulate the new energy market. They manipulate stock buying and selling on a millisecond basis, attempting to trigger a market crash in a short period."
"They are manufacturing financial panic and seizing the opportunity to control the core assets of the new energy market," Shen Qingwan said softly, her brows knitted together tightly.
Xu Yunchuan's gaze was sharp, and his voice was calm yet resolute: "They are playing with fire. Once the global new energy market crashes, the entire world will descend into chaos."
Zhao Ming rapidly tapped on his keyboard: "I have joined forces with several major global stock exchanges to restrict traffic on high-frequency trading ports, but this can only briefly delay their actions."
"We cannot let them continue," Xu Yunchuan said coldly. "Zhao Ming, keep blocking their high-frequency trading ports. Qingwan, contact the international energy regulatory authorities; we need a comprehensive financial defense plan."

Capital Game
Wall Street, London, Tokyo... The stock market curves across major global trading markets fluctuated violently like an electrocardiogram, and new energy stocks were pushed almost to the brink of collapse.
Inside the Wall Street trading floor, red warning lights flashed incessantly, and countless traders furiously pounded the keyboards at their respective workstations, attempting to control the situation.
"Stock prices in the energy sector are collapsing! Tianshu Energy has ignited panic across all markets!" Zhao Ming's voice was filled with urgency.
Shen Qingwan stood beside Xu Yunchuan, her expression stern: "Once the panic spreads, investors will sell off new energy assets en masse, and the market will completely collapse."
"We must turn the tide," Xu Yunchuan said firmly. "Zhao Ming, we need a breakthrough."
A gleam flashed in Zhao Ming's eyes: "I've found a main artery of capital flow! Massive amounts of Tianshu Energy's funds are flowing into the Caribbean offshore financial center; that is their financial hub."
"Move immediately, and freeze that account," Xu Yunchuan ordered decisively.

Financial Blockade
Under Zhao Ming's technical tracking, the core accounts at the Caribbean financial center were locked down. International financial regulatory bodies completed the freeze on the capital chain within a mere few hours.
"Report, Tianshu Energy's primary capital accounts have been frozen. Their high-frequency trading algorithms are failing," Zhao Ming said, a trace of exhilaration in his voice.
However, at that very moment, a new alert suddenly popped up on Zhao Ming's screen.
"Warning! A brand-new trading command has been detected, origin unknown!"
"They still have a backup plan!" Zhao Ming frowned deeply. "The new capital flow is being transferred in an encrypted manner through dark web platforms, and they are attempting to bypass international regulations!"

Xu Yunchuan clenched his jaw and said coldly, "They are making a desperate last stand."
"Zhao Ming, keep tracking the capital flows. We must completely sever their financial chain," Shen Qingwan instructed.

The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Meanwhile, inside a secluded offshore estate, Victor Carlson stood before a massive holographic screen, coldly watching the fluctuation curves of the global new energy market.
"They are much more resilient than I imagined," Victor said softly, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes.
His assistant nearby asked in a low voice, "Sir, our backup capital chain is being intercepted. If this continues, we will completely lose market dominance."
Victor slowly turned around and sneered, "In that case, initiate the Storm Directive."
The assistant's expression changed abruptly: "The Storm Directive? That will cause the global new energy reserve system to collapse!"
"We have no other choice now," Victor said coldly. "Let them understand that the power of capital is unstoppable."

Energy Storm
Inside the core dispatch system of the zero-carbon city, alarm sirens blared abruptly, and red warning symbols flashed densely across the screen.
Zhao Ming abruptly stood up: "This is bad! Tianshu Energy has activated the Storm Directive! They are attempting to force a centralized dispatch of the global new energy reserve system, trying to trigger a collapse of the global energy supply chain!"
"Zhao Ming, can it be intercepted?" Xu Yunchuan asked in a deep voice.
"I'm trying, but they are using multiple encryption algorithms. We must manually shut down the dispatch channels one by one across major global reserve nodes."
"Then take action!" Xu Yunchuan ordered decisively.

Node Attack and Defense
Multiple new energy reserve nodes around the globe fell into a paralyzed state, systems began rebooting automatically, and the energy supply network hung by a thread.
Zhao Ming's fingers flew across the keyboard as cold sweat dripped down his forehead: "I have successfully intercepted the reserve nodes in North America and Europe, but there is still one core node—the Asia-Tokyo New Energy Reserve Center. It is the pivot of the global supply chain. If that falls, all our previous efforts will be wasted!"
"We're going to Tokyo immediately!" Xu Yunchuan said coldly.

Tokyo Reserve Center
(2/3)
(3/3)
A private jet sped through the night skies, heading straight for the Tokyo New Energy Reserve Center.
Located in the core area of the city, the Tokyo Reserve Center served as the hub for the entire Asian energy supply. At this moment, the entire building was brilliantly lit, piercing alarm sirens wailed, and the security system was fully activated.
"Zhao Ming, can you take over the system remotely?" Shen Qingwan asked.
"The system is encrypted and locked. I can only open a backdoor channel for you, and we only have three minutes."
"Move!"
Xu Yunchuan and Shen Qingwan led their team rapidly through the security corridor and entered the reserve center's main control room.

The Decisive Battle
On the main control screen, the countdown for the Storm Directive had five minutes remaining.
Zhao Ming's voice came through the earpiece: "Yunchuan, I've found the unlocking path, but you still need to manually input the core abort code!"
Shen Qingwan quickly plugged into the system and entered the abort code according to Zhao Ming's instructions.
00:00:30
"The final step, Yunchuan! Press the abort button!" Zhao Ming shouted.
Xu Yunchuan did not hesitate to press the button, and the countdown on the screen instantly froze.
"The Storm Directive has been aborted, and the global energy supply chain has returned to normal."

Epilogue
In the night sky of Tokyo, the lights remained brilliant, and the city regained its calm.
Inside the global command center, Zhao Ming let out a long breath: "We won. Tianshu Energy's final struggle has failed."
Xu Yunchuan stood on the elevated platform of the main control room, overlooking the entire reserve center, his gaze deep and profound: "In this battle, we have guarded the future of new energy."
Shen Qingwan leaned gently against the railing with a faint smile: "But the future holds many more challenges waiting for us."
Beneath the veil of night, the global new energy market welcomed a new order, but the smoke of battle had not yet completely dissipated.
