Chapter 459: Fighting Poison with Poison
"This is--"
After regaining his simulated perception, the first thing Tick noticed was the beach beneath his feet. Countless 0s and 1s formed the gravel, spreading to the end visible to the naked eye.
She picked up a '0', and an indescribable feeling suddenly emerged, and she couldn't help but tremble.
"This is a collection of data. Don't touch it randomly. It will permanently increase your negative status."
Following Mr. G's words, '0' suddenly melted and turned into a liquid similar to 'bean sprouts', trying to get into the 'protective suit'.
In the system panel, the information dropped sharply, and soon it dropped to two thousand. Tick was surprised and quickly shook the thing away.
In front, Mr. G was talking to a group of 'astronauts', and these 'astronauts' were undoubtedly experts from the Geonet Group. When she approached, one of the leaders was talking -
"It's up to you to confirm the location of sub-database No. 0. We only have ten minutes. After ten minutes, a new cyber killer will be born. Once discovered, the infiltration will be declared a failure."
"I understand, you can do your thing, don't worry, as a wanted person, I'm more worried about being hunted than you are."
Soon, these 'astronauts' dispersed, and the data in their hands flashed and turned into various machines.
As we all know, only when there is hardware can there be software, and Diwang Group’s technology has been able to use the power of ‘software’ to replicate ‘hardware’ in cyberspace.
Each of the blueprints behind these machines is above level 7.
Compared to the scientists who were racing against time, the senior engineers seemed much more relaxed, and even looked around as if they were looking for something.
"What do you want to ask?" Foreman Gao didn't reply.
Dida asked curiously: "Is this the source code layer of cyberspace?"
"Yes or no, to be precise, it is what the Diwang Group wants us to see, the source code of cyberspace."
"Electrical signals are at the speed of light, and what the human body can sense, the transmission speed of neural signals is far less than the speed of light. This also means that, theoretically speaking, we will never be able to 'see' the lowest level of cyberspace."
The senior engineer picked up a '1' and threw it away: "And what we see now is just the modeling of Diwang Group."
"Data modeling?" Tick thought thoughtfully.
"That's right, convert the abstracted conceptual model into a physical model, such as this - a data collection."
Looking at the ‘digital gravel’ on the ground, Tikta asked with interest: “Are they the shells of cyber killers?”
"Yes, these 'data aggregations' are essentially the product of cyberspace data interaction," the senior engineer looked into the distance. With the strange wind blowing from nowhere, one 'data zombie' started to appear one after another. The prototype emerged from the gravel. Although it looked like it was missing arms and legs, the dangerous feeling unique to the 'Cyber Killer' could already be vaguely felt.
"Many large companies and underground organizations are looking for the weaknesses of cyber killers, but this is impossible, because unless cyberspace goes down on a large scale, the data in the space will only interact all the time, and the 'data aggregation' will They will be born every second, and they will be inexhaustible and extinct.”
"What a terrifying existence!" Tick glanced at the other party. She had not forgotten that when they first met, the other party gave her the identity of a cyber killer.
This npc must have more background tasks to explore.
"What are you looking for?" Tikta couldn't help but ask when he saw that the senior engineer did not use hacking methods to find database No. 0, but instead dug sand everywhere.
"Of course we are looking for 'data aggregates'. You may not know that there are some special 'data aggregates', which are also called 'conceptual body fragments'. Absorbing them can provide permanent state blessings."
The senior engineer's eyes lit up, he turned over the gravel, and a red '0' appeared.
Conceptual Body Fragments·Life Blessing: Through big data optimization and transformation of the respiratory system, the respiratory system modification rate is +1%, and the blood volume is permanently increased by 5%.
‘This, this, this—’
Tick blinked. As a high-level player, she immediately realized the function of this thing. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly joined the "catch the sea".
Just looking at the 5% blood volume, it seems that it does not add much, but you must know that this is a permanent blessing, which means that every time you level up, the blood volume will increase by 5%. By the middle and late stages of the game, this accumulation will be Very exaggerated.
For someone with a lot of blood, even if it is only level 30, the increase in blood volume is equally exaggerated.
Today's senior engineer has a biological health volume of 8127 and a mechanical health volume of 9327. Two 5% points are equivalent to an increase of 872 points of health volume. Ordinary players can upgrade to seven or eight levels in a row, and the blessings are only so much.
And on this planet, there are only two places where such 'conceptual body fragments' are produced. One is at the bottom of cyberspace, and the other is the group of level 80 exploded data concept bodies, which are the mother of data and the pipe master. The boss monster drops items.
Theoretically it's possible, but technically... it's impossible.
So this thing has a very low drop rate.
Five minutes passed, and when the 'astronaut' stopped the two men's behavior with a black line on his face, the number of 'conceptual body fragments' in the senior engineer's hand had increased to five.
Three of them are small masterpieces, which are permanent +5% blood volume, permanent +8% physical strength, and permanent +4% agility.
One is a waste product, which has a +3% nervous system transformation rate, but does not increase its attributes.
For players, this may be very useful, after all, the premise of upgrading is to increase the transformation rate, but for Gao Gong, it is standard garbage.
And the last one is a great top-grade, with a reproductive system efficiency of +15%.
Only by serving the rich woman well can he continue to wander around. As a little wolf dog, Gao Gong has never forgotten his job.
"Mr. G, you seem to have forgotten that our real goal is to find the door to Database 0. Time is running out," the 'astronaut' said coldly: "If you don't cooperate sincerely, I can take away your 'protective layer' at any time and let you stay here forever."
Gao Gong curled his lips. He didn't believe that the other party had no other means to locate Database 0 except himself.
However, he did not refute it, but smiled and said: "Don't say there are five minutes left, 30 seconds is enough."
"30 seconds?"
The expression of the 'astronaut' became even uglier, but before he could say anything, Gao Gong's palm disappeared, and under the effect of the cyber programming language, it quickly turned into a red 'data transmission protocol'.
As soon as this link came out, a red light immediately appeared on the surface of the 'astronaut's' body, which was a sign of the highest alert level.
"What do you think?"
"Of course, download some software that is not suitable for children, or, to go a step further, download viruses directly."
The next moment, the 'data transmission protocol' turned into a red line more than ten meters long. The red line was pulled apart suddenly, and countless rogue software, remote Trojans, system vulnerabilities, and emails were like endless pieces of paper, scattered like white snow, and in a few breaths, they covered this 'desert'.
And in the air, it seemed that a girl's hysterical laughter sounded.
The best way to find and deal with viruses is naturally to fight poison with poison.
