Spy Family

Catching robots is much more difficult than capturing humans. First of all, no one can confirm whether there is really a "robot". When Mao Woxue used this term, it was just a self-judgment: he had received information, There were two more calls, and the other party's behavior was no different from that of a human being, but the self-proclaimed machine was able to bypass various restrictions, and even when the network was interrupted, it could still make Mao Woxue's chip make sounds.

Therefore, there may be a robot that is lifelike in everything from its voice to its appearance. It can hide among ordinary humans without being discovered. But it has an advantage. It can leave its current body at any time, change to another one, or hide deep in the Internet. .

It may also be a means of self-protection for a living person. He uses the machine to contact offline spies, and then calls himself a robot to hide his true identity.

No matter what the possibility is, the "machine" cannot be bypassed.

Mei Wangzhen took Lu Linbei to see Zhai Wangxing's experts. There were three experts in total. They were happy to help, but they were extremely short of equipment and could only use microcomputers and existing public networks to do some routine investigations.

The preliminary results of the investigation are not ideal. The beauty shop has a small server, and the experts have not found any problems. There are many loopholes. The intrusion program can easily enter and exit, but no trace of any highly intelligent program has been found.

"It's just an ordinary commercial server." An expert informed the two investigators of the conclusion.

"Is it possible that it was hidden?" Mei Wangzhen asked.

The expert shook his head, "I can't say 100%, but it is unlikely. All programs will leave traces as long as they have been run. Even if they are deleted, there are still clues. This server is too ordinary and the information is highly similar. If there is a special program hidden , the traces would be more obvious, but we found nothing.”

Mei Wangzhen didn't know much about this kind of thing, so he turned to look at Lu Linbei.

Lu Linbei believed in the expert's judgment and did not think he was wrong. He thought for a while and said, "Are there any other monitoring systems that can see the beauty shop? Including outside the shop."

The experts searched for clues again, and Mei Wangzhen whispered: "Maybe in the end, there is still a human hiding behind. I don't believe that Shi Liangbi would trust a machine. He won't even accept the fusion of humans."

"It is because he refuses to accept half man and half machine that Shi Liangbi believes in pure machines. Although he is old-fashioned, he will never be biased when choosing weapons."

"Could it be him again?" Mei Wangzhen had already thought of Nong Xingwen.

Lu Linbei understood what Mei Wangzhen meant, "It doesn't seem like it. If it was Nong Xingwen, he probably wouldn't choose Mao Woxue."

Mei Wangzhen laughed and said, "That's right. People like Mao Woxue can't stand Nong Xingwen's eyes at all. Alas, I hate this kind of thing the most. Fighting against machines always leaves me with no strength."

"In the end of the struggle, you will always encounter a living person."

"I hope so, I have..."

The experts were very efficient and found results. One person came over and said: "Three sets of monitoring systems can be found through the public network. One is the server in the store and can see most areas inside and outside the store. The other is municipal engineering. It is located opposite the store and you can see a large area outside the store's main entrance. The set belongs to the neighborhood and is located diagonally opposite the store. It complements the municipal engineering and you can also see a small area outside the store's main entrance."

"Let's start with the neighborhood autonomy monitoring system." Lu Linbei made a quick judgment.

This search did not go well. Less than a minute after it started, there was a network outage. Zhai Wangxing did not have his own network system now. Faced with this situation, he could only wait patiently.

"This is a common occurrence. It happens every half an hour on average. It may last for a few seconds or several hours. Usually the network relay drones in this area have been transferred to other places." The expert shook his head helplessly, "The current public network is just demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall. I don't know when it will truly return to normal."

"Where is the network outage?" Lu Linbei asked.

"The other party, the network in the neighborhood where the beauty shop is located is interrupted. Our place is currently normal."

"Have you found out the location of the server in the neighborhood?"

"The exact location has not been found yet. It is probably in Building 165, which should be very close to the beauty shop."

"That's enough." Mei Wangzhen looked at Lu Linbei. After receiving the approval, he smiled and said, "I hope I don't have to interrupt the mission anymore and let me go out for a complete run."

"Bring Zhu Canchen with you, he may be helpful."

Mei Wangzhen frowned slightly, "Okay, let him contact me."

Mei Wangzhen left in a hurry and still went to find Lu Yezhou, and the two of them cooperated more smoothly.

Lu Linbei contacted Zhu Canchen. He had just left the intelligence agency of the Independence Army. He also didn't see anything special about the scattered information. When he received the new task, he said "good" and immediately contacted Mei Wangzhen.

Lu Linbei was not idle either and asked three experts to search a wider network to see if there was any abnormal data.

Ordinary microcomputers are not suitable for this kind of work of finding a needle in a haystack, and the efficiency is extremely low. Lu Linbei had to designate three areas around the beauty shop for key monitoring.

Public networks are highly dependent on the support of drones. They are like nodes that together form a ubiquitous network. Generally speaking, there is a redundant design. If a drone fails, it will not affect the local network. But things are not what they used to be. The loss of drones during the war was staggering. Logistics and networks were most affected. Paradise City no longer had the energy to deploy more network nodes.

The network in the three areas designated by Lu Linbei is each handled by a drone. The areas closest to the beauty shop are considered the "must pass" for digital information.

Even so, the search is difficult. Network drones are professional equipment and their protection capabilities are much stronger than commercial servers. Ordinary microcomputers can only perform peripheral monitoring on them, leaving many omissions.

In this unstable state, Lu Linbei did not dare to use his digital brain and could only stay by the expert's side, waiting for progress on Mei Wangzhen's side.

Ma Juntu asked for a call, "Mao Woxue has gone home. Within an hour, his wife will go to the beauty shop. Can it help?"

"Yeah, that helps."

"And Miss Miao, she hopes to leave the Fu family, and I can provide her with a place to live."

"No, she wants to stay at Fu's house. Please bear with her a little longer. I will go see her at noon tomorrow."

"Yes, I will persuade her."

An hour later, Lu Yezhou came back first, knocked on the door and entered the house. There was sweat on his forehead. He was obviously in a hurry. "Sure enough, there was a problem. The program ran away, leaving a body behind. Look, I got this." Lu Yezhou shook his head proudly. Shaking the two exoskeleton gloves in his hand, "Can you ask an expert to repair it? It should still be usable."

"The program escaped?"

"Oh, I almost forgot about the business. Sister Zhen and Zhu Canchen went to catch up. Zhu Canchen is good and familiar with the Internet. He has already made arrangements and can track the direction of the program."

Lu Linbei breathed a sigh of relief. The three experts on his side didn't find any abnormalities. It wasn't that they were poor, but that they simply didn't have the right equipment.

Lu Linbei kept this in mind to obtain at least one set of professional equipment for Expert Zhai Wangxing.

Lu Yezhou was still fiddling with the exoskeleton gloves in his hands, and Lu Linbei asked him to go find an expert for help.

Lu Yezhou came back quickly and said with a smile: "Experts said it's just a procedural problem and they can fix it. If it's other problems, there's nothing they can do."

"You really like these things."

"They can break through the limits of human physical ability, don't you like it?"

"I like it, but I'm not very good at it."

"You are not good at anything with your hands. Alas, I originally saved a batch of exoskeleton equipment, not just gloves, which is enough to turn me into a combat robot, but now I don't dare to get it at all. Alas, I don't know what those are. Is the baby still there? When can I get it back?"

Another hour later, Lu Yezhou received a call from Mei Wangzhen. He muttered twice, ended the call, and said to Lu Linbei: "Sister Zhen asked us to go somewhere. I know where it is."

Mei Wangzhen and Lu Yezhou have been cooperating for a long time, and they have set a code word that only the two of them understand, which is mainly used to agree on time and place.

Lu Yezhou drove, first driving around the city to make sure there were no followers, and then drove to the outskirts of the city. Lu Linbei sat in the passenger seat and used special equipment to find where there was no surveillance system nearby.

It was already dark when we arrived at the designated location.

It was an abandoned factory, originally used to manufacture household robots. Due to the lack of raw materials, work had been stopped for a long time and even unattended. Most of the movable equipment had been taken away by the surrounding residents, and the heavy equipment that was difficult to move was taken away by teenagers. Devastated.

When it has no value anymore, the factory is forgotten and few people come in again.

For humans, there is a lack of food here, and for robots, there is a lack of chips and networks. Neither is a good place to hide.

Lu Yezhou drove directly into the factory, honked three times, and soon received a response, with the car lights turning on in the depths.

Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou got off the car and walked over. Mei Wangzhen came over from the opposite side and pointed to a huge machine nearby. "It's inside and is trapped. Zhu Canchen is trying to find a way to lure it out."

Although the machine is large, it has been completely destroyed by the over-energetic teenagers. Lu Yezhou said in surprise: "This is just a production line. It doesn't even have a chip. Can the program be hidden?"

"The method Zhu Canchen came up with is that I came here to install three chips. It is very troublesome, but it can be done. Zhu Canchen mobilized the network drones in Paradise City to allow the three chips to be temporarily connected to the Internet. The next step is to set up traps and force When the escaping program enters here, it will immediately interrupt the network." Mei Wangzhen clapped his hands to indicate success.

"Just take the chip away. Is it necessary to lead it out?"

Mei Wangzhen shook his head, "Zhu Canchen talked to the program. The program said that once it is transferred, it will self-destruct without leaving a single byte. Zhu Canchen has nothing to do with it for the time being. Also, the program knows who we are, it I want to see Lao Bei."

Lu Yezhou smiled and said: "Lao Bei is really powerful and has acquaintances in the 'programming world'."

Lu Linbei smiled and walked towards the vehicle that Mei Wangzhen was driving. Zhu Canchen was standing outside the car, checking something on the microcomputer. Seeing Lu Linbei coming, he handed over the microcomputer, "It wants you to enter the chip, but I refused. Major Lu can communicate with it outside."

Lu Linbei took the microcomputer and saw a line of text: It is indeed you. I know what you want, but you are mistaken. I am not a spy program of Uranus. Someone will come to pick me up soon.

A siren suddenly sounded outside the factory, and Lu Linbei immediately understood what was going on.
