Chapter 332 Chapter 329 It’s None of My Business
Some are happy and some are worried. This is exactly the state of people after the four major companies launched the four major inventions. Because of his brother's death, Zhuang Xuteng was not optimistic about the four major inventions emotionally, but most people in society, especially after receiving a lot of news and advertising propaganda, have a positive and active attitude towards the four major inventions.
Regardless of good or bad, these four things are indeed technological progress and development, and also mean new business opportunities. Zhuang Xuteng pays more attention to the automotive industry. Ge Gongdao pays more attention to safety blue, and the execution puppet and shadow copy technology are also not bad. The first few days of the Grand Expo are open to manufacturers and industry customers. Various orders and business cooperation are increasing at a visible speed, and the fields involved and the ways of exerting efforts are becoming more and more numerous and richer.
Most of these companies have connections with the four major group companies. If you dig deep into the equity relationship, you can more or less become relatives. Zhuang Xuteng thought that the four major group companies would definitely make arrangements in advance and have already distributed various operating powers and interests, and his group accounted for the majority. In fact, there is no need for the four major groups to make a layout. Just looking at these companies that have gathered around, the main benefits will not fall into the hands of others.
Even the most dull people can feel the dawn of the new era, and Zhuang Xuteng will not miss this opportunity to collect information. He discussed with the three people in the team, and everyone agreed that cars are still just tools, and it is not a revolutionary change; the safety blue thing should not be touched if it can be left alone, and it should be treated as a substitute for blue crystals. The information released by the execution puppet technology is too little, and it is not a purple-skinned person on display outside, so it can be put aside. As a mercenary, the most important thing to pay attention to must be the shadow copying technology.
Shadow, a magical substance mined from the shadow world, is divided into active and fixed states (it sounds better than "dead". Among them, active shadows often carry a lot of magical powers, just like the effects of various spells, divine arts and divine powers during the time when the gods were still there. The top active shadow slaves are basically in the hands of the four major groups, and they are made into tools, implanted, or turned into shadow slave devices as a physical symbol of top power.
Shadow slaves have always relied on excavation and collection, and the number has never been enough. The insufficiency here mainly refers to active shadow slaves and fixed-state shadow slaves with a relatively high degree of energy concentration. Their main uses are various implants and top shadow slave devices. The worse shadow slaves, that is, those used as simple shadow slave chips and shadow slave energy, do not have a problem of lack of quantity.
Compared with the popular shadow slave chip equipment, implants and advanced shadow slave devices are still very rare, and things are rare and expensive. There is a great demand for implants in society, including hard medical needs, and some enjoyment needs to improve the quality of life. It is said that some implants can prolong life. This function is very attractive in any era. The only real problem is how to meet the demand.
In the past, only the shadow slave splitting technology could turn active shadow slaves into dead ones, and one into seven or eight. Using function to exchange quantity, put on the top active shadow slaves is called a crime of waste. However, splitting the relatively low-end static shadow slaves into shadow slave energy and simple chips is not so painful, and can be called commercial operation.
The shadow slave replication technology developed by Today Group is completely another level of things: any active shadow slave can be replicated once and split into eight to ten shadow slaves of exactly the same nature. These replicated shadow slaves cannot be directly replicated again, but they can be maintained by some methods that are also trade secrets so that they can be replicated again after a certain period of time. According to the disclosure of Today Group, when replicating again, the number of new shadow slaves will decrease, and the various costs of re-"nurturing" will be greatly increased.
"There is still room for further improvement and improvement in technology. Today Group expects to double the number of replicable products within ten years." The news media reported: "Basically, the extreme shortage of active shadow slaves has been effectively alleviated, and the supply of ordinary shadow slaves will no longer be a problem."
The top active shadow slaves are far away from the lives of ordinary people. Medical implants are the technical ceiling that everyone can touch, and it is expected to be in unlimited supply. This alone is expected to increase the average life expectancy of everyone by three to five years. Some people who need new organs or replacement body parts can also be helped, thus greatly improving their quality of life.
Ge Gongdao was very worried about this. He felt that he might never see his real face again and hold his natural hand again. For this statement, Zhuang Xuteng and the other three wrote it down in their notebooks, ready to complain to Prince at any time. Ge Gongdao had to beg for mercy and appease his partner with a meal in exchange for peace in the second half of his life and lower body.
"You should pay more attention to see if there is a way to solve the problem of your brain implants." Zhuang Xuteng said to the two sisters: "I think Today Group will definitely release a batch of advanced active shadow implants to show off their technical strength. Maybe there will be good things in it."
Nightingale shook her head and said, "I think the possibility is very small. None of us, information spies, are doing legal business. Even if there is a better solution, the company will not publicly put it out. This is our fate. The more you think about it, the greater the disappointment."
"There is no way, the reality is like this. The sooner we give up hope, the sooner we can put down our burdens and enjoy life." Yanque held her chin, looked at Zhuang Xuteng, and said: "It is difficult for the two of us to have more implants, but you two It looks pretty easy, and I can definitely continue to install it. Oh, by the way, Naike, have you noticed the booth of today’s group?”
"What are you talking about? Five identical active shadow followers, or a set of limb-strengthening implants?"
"Both." Yanque waved his hand and said: "Those exactly the same Shadow Implants are easy to use and cheap, but are there no problems at all? From the actual use experience of the two of us, the exact same implants are There is something wrong with the body.”
"Huh? What's the problem?" Zhuang Xuteng was confused: "You two have exactly the same implants?"
Nightingale took over the topic and said: "Our two brain implants are not exactly the same, but we have worked together to grind the implants to a very similar level. Yanque, that is exactly the same as the implant The body is not the same concept, and the sensory and emotional understanding between the two of us is not necessarily the result of the implant, but may also be the result of joint training. Your worries are too early. "
"Okay, what you said makes sense, but I reserve my opinion. Just treat me as superstitious!" Yanque shrugged and said to Zhuang Xuteng: "In short, it is best to install identical sets of implants on your own. body, or put it on someone you will never meet, otherwise there may be problems.”
Zhuang Xuteng smiled. He just wanted to listen to the conversation and did not need to express any opinions. Only in the areas where he has conducted research does he really have a say: "Although there are more implants, the problem of side effects is still there, so the maintenance needs of the implants are greater. I noticed Today’s group’s commentators are hinting at the implant care shop, do you have any news about this?”
"As soon as the expo is over, Peicheng will take the lead in starting the construction of implant maintenance stores. Both regulations and administrative approvals are ready." Yanque snapped his fingers and said: "Our approval number is on the previous day. Hundreds, it will definitely be opened in the first batch. Guess whose credit is this?”
"You two spied into the city government's information network?" Ge Gongdao asked, his eyes widening.
"No, for the sake of approval, we will not do such dangerous things. We just spent some money... we can solve it with money, we don't need..." Yanque smiled sweetly, as if he wanted to get praise from his parents. children. But suddenly, her smile disappeared and her expression became nervous. So does the nightingale.
"Someone is blocking the network and directly suppressing the information. I can't tell where the source is. I just know it's awesome!" Nightingale immediately grabbed her sister's hand and said, "There's no need to fight this. Exit the connection. Quick!"
Yanque persisted for five seconds longer, until her nostrils slowly started to bleed. She sighed and said: "What a powerful technology, there is no way to fight back. Naike, here - thank you, a little nosebleed is nothing, no need to wipe it - the network here has been completely taken over, any information that passes through It’s all under surveillance. I think encrypted communications are just as unsafe.”
"Information suppression is often a sign of the beginning of some kind of action." Nightingale frowned, feeling very worried. "Naike, I suggest that we leave here immediately."
Zhuang Xuteng nodded and agreed to the suggestion without hesitation. The four people stood up and walked out quickly. Since all information networks have been taken over and encrypted communications are not secure, they are unable to notify other Lucy's mercenaries. They could only send a simple message in sign language to a few familiar mercenaries they met directly on the way out. The content was something like "evacuate, avoid".
On the way out, Zhuang Xuteng kept thinking, and he identified the "Gardener Organization" as the most suspicious object. Those guys can blow up a TV station building, and they can definitely attack an exhibition. Moreover, the Gardeners organization and the riot squad are inseparable, making it very convenient to take action.
But can they take advantage under the nose of the company's business development department? This is doubtful.
The four people quickly got into the car, started it and drove away, but were stopped at the exit of the parking lot. The ones who intercepted them were not the PCPD on duty in the field or the patrolling riot squad, nor the idle mercenaries, but the managers of the Dingxin Magic Business Development Department. The reason why they were able to identify them from the featureless and identical men in black was thanks to an "acquaintance": Cassandra.
That strong woman left an indelible impression on Zhuang Xuteng during the battle with the Wild Monkey Gang. Zhuang Xuteng could not mistake her appearance, her strength, and her voice. Now, Cassandra, headed by four other men in black clothes, raised their hands to signal Zhuang Xuteng and the others to pull over and stop the car.
"Stop and wait!" said the company's business development department: "Turn off the engine, sit in the car and don't get out, put your hands where we can see!"
Ge Gongdao rolled down the window, showed his charming and friendly smile again, and said: "What happened? We left the parking lot, we can turn on the highway and go home, we won't be in the way of anyone, right?" ?”
"After receiving the order, the road is blocked. You must wait here."
"Then...it will be very hot inside the car after turning off the engine. Can we go back?"
The person in front of the car looked back at Cassandra. The latter snorted coldly. Her calves were slightly stretched, and she suddenly rushed to the side of the cab of the car. She pressed her palm on Ge Gongdao's face, and then pushed him, causing Ge Gongdao to tilt toward the passenger side.
Nightingale and Yanque both exclaimed, and Zhuang Xuteng hurriedly supported Ge Gongdao's body. Cassandra's eyes swept across the car, and a shadow similar to the Eye of Shadow came over from the energy wave. "A few mercenaries...there's so much nonsense..." Cassandra pinched her fingers, looking a little impatient. She felt that she could kill the four guys in front of her with just a few punches, but it would take a lot of energy to clean up the scene. Finally, she snorted softly, waved her hands and said, "You're lucky. Now reverse the car and go back the way you came. Don't go near this road."
Ge Gongdao shrank his neck and nodded repeatedly, and was busy reversing the car. The car was swaying a little, as if the driver was drunk. After they found an empty parking space nearby and parked, Zhuang Xuteng quickly got out of the car, walked around to the driver's seat, and changed down the Gonggong Road.
Cassandra snorted, leaving a contemptuous smile.
Zhuang Xuteng moved Ge Gongdao to the back row, squeezed in with the two sisters, and then returned to the driver's seat. He secretly took a look at the situation of the men in black in the company. When he saw that they were no longer paying attention to him, he tilted his mouth and let out two "tsk tsk" sounds. After hearing this, Ge Gongdao lost his expression of frustration, pain, and sluggishness, slowly exhaled, and asked, "Am I doing well in my acting?"
"You overacted." Zhuang Xuteng said, "Your neck is so thick, you won't get a concussion if you push it. Fortunately, Cassandra didn't become suspicious."
"Oh! You two..." Nightingale and Yanque looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief. "I was scared to death. I thought something had happened to Brother Dao! Men are very good at lying, especially when it comes to lying to women."
"It is better to do less than to do more, especially when there is no benefit." Ge Gongdao explained: "If I show a confrontational attitude, she will definitely continue to increase her strength - let her not be embarrassed. Naike, do you feel that she How about the speed and burst?”
"You can react." Zhuang Xuteng lowered his voice and said, "It's fortunate that we were stopped by them first. I've seen Cassandra before, so I had a forewarning in my mind, so I was able to react. You made a good choice. You pretended not to react immediately. Move with her power.”
"Hey, I just felt that we couldn't fight, so I gave in. Cassandra didn't use her full strength, otherwise she would hit us, and we would have to fly out even with the people and the car! Nike, it seems like this guy is specially guarding here. Highway, you see they are always looking away. I guess someone is coming, either a VIP or some unlucky guy who is about to get knocked up."
"They are probably VIPs. If we want to set up an ambush, Cassandra can be further away." Zhuang Xuteng patted the steering wheel with both hands and said, "As long as it is not the gardener organization that bombed the venue."
