The Internet Center was an intelligence and logistical support building developed by China to protect and aid their Hackers while they conducted money-gathering operations. This was developed later in the conflict as the Chinese forces realized that their unarmed Hackers were vulnerable in the open.
Game Structure[]
The Internet Center can be garrisoned with up to 8 Hackers/Super Hackers, and allows them to hack faster by 10%, though it doesn't boost their actual monetary yield. The center is surprisingly resilient and offers its occupants a great deal of protection; it is sometimes able to survive a hit by a superweapon. Apart from its protective and resource gathering functions, its Satellite Hack upgrades will intermittently reveal enemy units and structures.

Changelog[]
- Zero Hour patch 1.01: fixed an issue where Hackers would stop hacking if the Internet center they were garrisoned in was attacked by a Microwave Tank
- Zero Hour patch 1.03: now displays upgrade cameos for Satellite Hack 1 and 2
Trivia[]
- Uniquely, the Internet Center will only allow certain infantrymen (Hackers and their variants) inside.
- Being a garrisonable structure, if at least one Hacker is present within it, enemy forces will automatically attempt to destroy it despite its lack of armament.
- Because of a bug, internet centers built by any Chinese general except the main Chinese Commander will play the selection sound of the Command center (Generals) when selected.
