Interdimensional science and technology starting from cyberpunk

Muramasa's processor fell into a state of nothingness.

Perhaps it uses human brains as servers, and it is also contaminated with some human bad habits.

For example, right now, all he could think about was Lear's "no" expression.

Absolutely, no lies at all.

In the cyberspace, Muramasa's image is that of a broken Japanese ronin. The mechanical armor on her body is in tatters. She is half-kneeling on the ground. Countless octopus mechanical arms lock her limbs and nail her to a small body. in space.

Sometimes Lear lamented that the little octopus's fighting form in cyberspace was indeed scary, and it was getting more and more scary. It was completely different from the state in front of him.

At this moment, the little octopus took on a much larger form than usual on his shoulders.

In cyberspace, Lille's appearance is not much different from that in reality, and his height has not changed, only 1.7 meters.

Using him as a comparison, Muramasa's data body with only half his body was more than 50 meters high, and its density was not lower than him.

The little octopus is outrageous. Now it is entrenched on the cage that blocks Muramasa. It is not completely elongated, but its height is more than eighty meters——

Considering the special nature of cyberspace, with such a huge volume of data, if you are too technical, you may not even be able to see its entirety.

Muramasa's head was crushed to the floor by the octopus tentacles, and his broken eyes stared at Lear.

[Lille: You don’t have any confidentiality agreement, right? 】

[Muramasa: You are a powerful hacker, you should know the answer. 】

"So far, no AI has been found that would calmly accept the fate of being deleted for the so-called goal."

——AI Capture Rules (Network Monitoring Learning Material·Reprint)

[Lille: That is to say, do you think there is no possibility that your employer will come to rescue you if you hold on for a while? 】

[Muramasa: That’s true. I don’t think you are obedient mercenaries. 】

[Muramasa: Obviously, in addition to capturing me in accordance with the contract, you also had your own plans, and you guys succeeded. 】

[Muramasa: Secondly, you won. 】

Lear raised his eyebrows. The first one was pretty normal. Is the second one a bit emotional?

And by carefully scanning Muramasa's body, Lear could find that there was something a little different about this wandering AI.

The characteristic color of the flowing AI is dangerous red, which turns black when red to a certain extent.

But Muramasa, now his data volume obviously has blue parts, which should be a data set that can be understood by humans.

how so?

There is not much time, Lille needs to ask questions.

[Lille: First question, why can you escape the black wall? 】

[Muramasa: You humans have this law: If an animal looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it is a duck. 】

[Muramasa: Blackwall is a powerful AI with unparalleled attack power, but it needs to accept human recognition programs so that it can distinguish between humans and circulating AI on the Internet, and even some low-level AI. 】

[Muramasa: If there is an AI that constructs its own data volume in a human way at the data level, uses a human way to deal with problems, and even simulates human emotional fluctuations, then to the AI, this is a human being. 】

This is of course possible. Even before the collapse of the old network, there were companies studying anthropomorphic AI, and there was even a soul killer invented by Ultra that could truly create digital souls.

But isn’t Muramasa this kind of AI?

Can he even do this? Or do all Europeans have this technology?

If the Soul Killer was not Arasaka's patent and had been developed by a European company, they would have no reason not to put the technology into the market.

Lille felt something was wrong and continued to ask:

[Lille: Which company provided you with this technology? 】

[Muramasa: I don’t know, my go-between is Dexter DeShawn. 】

[Lille: What is the specific content of your commission? 】

[Muramasa: Many. First, support non-mainstream gangs in many areas of Night City, allowing them to overwhelm the original gangs and become new forces. 】

This is in line with Lille's guess.

But before Leal could ask the next question, Muramasa continued:

[Muramasa: Second, reproduce and verify various equipment including EMG-85, Eclipse, and Alpha full-body prosthesis. 】

It's still not too surprising, but there are some details that are different from Lille's guess.

He thought that these equipment had been developed by European companies and were just waiting to enter the Night City market.

Surprisingly, Muramasa was able to reveal the content of the third commission, which was completely contrary to Lear's guess.

[Muramasa: Third, develop and launch a multi-functional miniature high-energy signaling device in Night City on a large scale. 】

Lear was stunned——

Is this not a means, but an end?

According to Leer's guess, the micro-transmitter was indeed very versatile and should have been used by Muramasa to assist the first two targets.

Activate, disrupt and control city facilities at the appropriate time to provide assistance to the gangs they support, while also ensuring that those equipment and prosthetics can smoothly enter the Night City market.

But... this is actually the purpose?

Lille began to notice something unusual, because he suddenly realized that in the final stage of the battle, this signaling device showed some very abnormal functions.

Mercenaries suffered a large-scale outbreak of cyberpsychosis, and Lille could actually use hacking methods to do so.

For people with full-body prosthetics, it would be easier to drive them crazy if Muramasa tampered with their prosthetics.

The problem is that these people can still fight on the same front after going crazy.

As the old saying goes, Muramasa is not a behavioral control type of AI. Controlling robots is a bit clumsy. How can it be so fast when controlling humans?

And, most importantly, these transmitters played a vital role in Muramasa's direct arrival. This thing can easily steal the energy of a large number of electronic devices in the area and form a wireless power transmission network, allowing the flowing AI to flow seamlessly. Everywhere.

He didn't have time to think about this problem carefully during the battle, but now he thinks about it.

These transmitters seem to be naturally tailor-made devices for circulating AI.

Why do Europeans do this?

You must know that network surveillance is also a European company. If there is no AI circulating in the network, they will be the top force in the network world. There is no reason to make themselves unhappy——

This is Mayor Ryan’s wit:

Night City's municipal administration has in-depth cooperation with network surveillance. Being breached by a rogue AI will not show how important they Europeans are. It will only show that network surveillance is a loser!

As Leal was thinking, he received new information:

[Rogge: The people outside the door can't wait. There is the network surveillance agent who is very close to you, candidate Peralez's wife, and some gang leaders are also waiting. 】

[Rogge: Just pick one, I can’t hold you back. They are all here on official business. 】

The official business here is of course talking about network surveillance agents Bryce and Mrs. Peralez. If you want to meet them, you can only choose them first.

Lille's brain was a little hot, and the little octopus also reminded Lille that it was time to rest——

This body has been overused recently, and the probability of cells becoming cancerous is getting higher and higher.

He had to cut out all the tumors accumulated in the battle first.

[Lille: Let them all come in. 】

[Lille: Prepare two rooms. 】
