Cyber Heroes

Xiangshan got off the elevator at the dormitory floor on the 326th floor.

In just a few minutes, more than ten scientific research knights went up and down the elevator. But because this mysterious man in black robes appeared so naturally, and so many people turned a blind eye to him, people who got on the elevator later thought this guy was normal.

From a behavioral perspective, this is the group's "guarantee" for the existence of an individual.

However, this guarantee has limits after all. Although Xiangshan can continue to steal permissions to prevent himself from triggering the alarm. However, if he wants to pass levels that require independent identity verification, or even certain areas that require verification of brain-computer interface characteristics, the fact that the system is buggy will definitely be revealed.

He simply didn't have enough time to make up a legal identity for himself.

Moreover, even if it is true, at this time, as long as there is a human flesh censor who is not connected to the Internet to monitor, it will be easy to judge that there is something wrong with you.

Therefore, "sneaking directly into the laboratory, killing the target, taking the information, and leaving without anyone noticing" can only happen in an era when censorship and monitoring rely entirely on human power.

“People” are the weakest link in technology.

In the face of technological products that can accurately judge the enemy or ourselves within one second, it is too difficult to do this.

Plus, it’s assassination.

Although the transformation of human beings into prosthetics has given rise to a new era of assassination techniques such as "cyber martial arts", it has also increased the difficulty of assassination.

In the era of Homo sapiens, killing a person often only required a needle coated with poison, or powder that could be stained on the sleeves - or a pair of fleshy palms. It's so easy to kill someone. Everything on a person's body is dangerous. There are as many chemicals that can kill people as there are stars in the sky. If you really "regardless of the cost", it is indeed not difficult to kill someone who knows the location.

There are not so many "assassinations" in modern society, but in most cases, no organization can really do it "regardless of the cost." For the system of modern society, everyone is just a cog. At the price of "one hundred gears", destroying the opponent's "one gear" is not worth the gain. Even if "one gear" is broken, it is difficult to stop the "organization" machine.

Only a great dictator can intimidate through "assassination".

Prosthetic technology not only provides convenience for assassins, but also provides protection for tyrants.

Since the whole body is made of prosthetics, there is no longer the possibility of "poisoning someone with just one prick of a needle." Baseline humans' needs for food and water are horribly low, so the opportunities for "poisoning" are also pitiful. It can even be said that the only key point of a prosthetic person is the "brain".

"Assassination" requires destroying the opponent's biological brain.

Of course, Xiangshan also had corresponding plans.

As long as the defense force around the target is temporarily reduced to an acceptable level, he can then rush into the area where Apennine is located and kill that person by relying on his relatively superior martial arts.

Of course, first of all, the defense power of the target area must be reduced.

Xiang Shan thought this as he walked calmly in the corridor on the 326th floor.

This is one of the dormitories for scientific knight apprentices. He previously played the role of "an apprentice who has just returned from fieldwork", so it is normal to go downstairs and change clothes here.

Xiangshan continued to steal the surveillance videos in the room, and soon locked a room that was temporarily unoccupied - Deborah's room could not be used because news of her death had been transmitted.

Xiang Shan leaned against the door and with a burst of inner strength, he hacked into the security system and unlocked the door. The door lock here originally had a mechanism that "can be opened in an emergency under special circumstances." He took advantage of this mechanism, but blocked the "emergency state" from being transmitted. Xiang Shan gently closed the door and entered the room.

Of course there is no one in the room, only a sweeping robot is operating. Xiangshan silently took off the mace from his waist. This thing can also temporarily act as an electronic signal jammer, but the frequency band that can interfere with blocking is not wide. After arranging the signal blocking, Xiang Shan took action fiercely and punched the sweeping robot directly above it.

With a "pop", Qiao Jin shook the screw loose. Xiangshan also grasped the center of mass and center of the robot and calculated its possible structure.

——Ah, actually it’s not that difficult to calculate. The room for improvement of this thing is limited. Except for the central information processor part, most of the structure is no different from the antiques of the 21st century.

With a "pop", this flat thing "vomited" a big mouthful of ash and fell down.

Xiangshan shook some of the electronic components inside.

Afterwards, Xiangshan rummaged around the room for a while and found things like screwdrivers, laser heating pens, tweezers, and silicone. He used his feet to push aside the dust and garbage, dismantled the robot, and quickly modified it.

After a few minutes, the robot resumed its work.

However, there is already an extra high-explosive bomb in the garbage bag built into it. This is also a good thing that Xiang Shan got from the fierce gang. It has a countdown timer and a purely mechanical structure. Its ignition relies on the instantaneous high voltage generated by the impact of piezoelectric ceramics and the rearrangement of electrons. When the countdown clockwork spring is fully deployed and the escapement stops rotating, the piezoelectric ceramic will hit hard.

The "spring" part is a modern synthetic material with incredibly high elasticity. The filled explosives are also the latest technology and have high energy density.

However, no master of internal skills can hack into this bomb to prevent it from exploding, and no hacker can detonate it in advance.

Unless you can take out the bomb and stick a needle into the device to speed up the gears.

Moreover, it cannot be stabbed astray, which will affect the operation of the mechanical structure. Otherwise it would be an explosion.

It will also explode if taken apart.

If you want to safely disarm bombs, you need a certain amount of skills.

However, Xiangshan stuffed the bomb into the robot while it was dismantled. This bomb has a larger opening than a garbage bag. Unless you can take the robot apart, it's impossible to see this device.

Xiangshan placed the robot on the ground. The robot starts cleaning. Xiangshan was not busy letting this robot, whose software and hardware had been tampered with by him, go out. After all, the original principles of action still have to be followed.

This time bomb with a purely mechanical structure is not afraid of the dark at all. It is good at everything, but there is one thing that makes a sound. The "ticking" sound is indeed quite obvious.

Although its designers tried their best to reduce the volume, this "weak sound" is always aimed at natural human ears.

The hearing of modern people depends on the performance of artificial ears, the strength of analysis software, and the level of biological brains.

As long as they are careful, any athlete and martial artist who has participated in the "no vision" project can easily distinguish this sound from environmental sounds.

As for those athletes and martial artists, after retiring, they either became instructors in martial arts schools like Matsushima Hiro, or they were recruited by the government. There must be quite a few of them in this Scientific Research Knights' station.

But, luckily, this is a sweeping robot.

When absorbing dust, the noise generated by this robot is still greater than that of the mechanical countdown system.

Therefore, as long as you don’t really mean it, you won’t notice it.

The time Xiang Shan set for this bomb was one hour and thirty minutes.

According to the predetermined route, the robot will drive to the power supply system on this floor.

"One of the three things you must consider before using thermal weapons is 'whether there will be irrelevant people around'. But I think there probably won't be any in this building." Xiang Shan said this while pulling out the charging cable. onto yourself while quickly rummaging through the other items in this room.

The envoy of the Six Dragons Sect is in the clean room. Under his black robe, two pairs of sickle-like prosthetic limbs stretched out. The ends of the prosthetic limbs penetrated the backs of the two guards' heads, accurately destroying part of the brain's functions, but did not trigger the automatic alarm.

Then, a micro probe popped out from the end of the prosthetic blade, stimulating the brains of the two guards. Although it cannot be precisely controlled, it can still pretend that "they are still alive" to a certain extent.

"Next, we need to further disable the defense function of this building."

He sighed. It is actually not easy to enter this area with such a prosthetic body. This prosthetic body is not his strongest combat power. At least the alloy quality of the outer armor can only be said to be average, not the most cutting-edge material.

This prosthetic body can suppress the Green Forest Village, but it is more difficult to go wild in the area of ​​the Scientific Research Knights.

He couldn't go out rashly either. His current attire is incompatible with the style of the entire Scientific Research Knights, and can easily attract unnecessary attention.

"But it's okay. Now that you have quite high authority, you can do more things." The Six Dragons Sect envoy thought this way.

Outside the cleaning room, there was a series of footsteps.

It was a patrolling guard squad.

The Six Dragons Cult envoy waited cautiously for the footsteps to leave, then gently put down the two corpses, cleaned the bloody-smelling substance at the ends of the prosthetic limbs, and then left the cleaning room.

He walked quickly to the elevator door, but instead of waiting for the elevator, he used his blade-like prosthetic limb to open the elevator door directly and got into the elevator shaft.

This elevator is built against a load-bearing structure, so it is not a landscape elevator. The elevator shaft is closed, dark and opaque.

Some Knights' locations do not have such elevators. Most elevator shafts are required to be transparent. If such a completely enclosed elevator shaft really must exist due to the building structure, automatic robots should be installed inside to guard it.

It's just... this is a country knights group after all.
