Start with a Mechanical Hunter

  Chapter 445 Network Cyber

  Holy City, the birthplace of the first punk revolution, is also known as the city of splendor, the city of gears, and the city of holiness. Legend has it that the ancient holy spirit descended from the sky for the first time.

  In the Cyber ​​Age, the world's number one hacker organization 'Tyria' borrowed the name of this city.

  However, Ms. Dida didn't have a good impression of this city that smelled of feces. She rubbed her calfskin boots against the steps vigorously, trying to wipe away the unknown feces on the soles.

  ‘It’s not a good thing if the conscious world is too realistic, this smell, vomit~’

   Tick finally understood why the npcs here always have a strong and uncomfortable smell of perfume. It turned out to be because of this.

"So-"

Ms. Tick took out a pocket watch from her pocket. The pocket watch with silver thread and gold pattern was opened. It was not three needles, but an ultra-small screen. Starting from the palm, the blue code spread from the wrist to the fingertips, and then Then, the screen of the pocket watch brightened up, and the blue light almost covered the entire street. Wherever the light irradiated, all pedestrians, traffickers, businessmen, and nobles were all frozen, and in the next moment, they disintegrated into countless subconscious fragments.

  'Subconscious fragments' are like white cotton balls, not so much codes, but rather a collection of signals condensed by sensory signals in various formats.

   Soon, the tracking applet of the pocket watch confirmed the target, which was a special signal source.

  The screen in the watch disappeared, replaced by a golden pointer, shaking, pointing in one direction.

   "The tracking program still needs to be modified. After all, in the subconscious world, even the slightest change in the simulating signal may cause huge changes."

Tick ​​stretched out her right hand in a black silk glove, like playing a piano in the air, constantly beating her fingers, and the affected subconscious fragments gradually began to regain their human form, and after she snapped her fingers, the street returned to its original shape again, lady , traffickers, congregants, slaves, and all kinds of noise.

  In terms of program modification, AI has a unique advantage.

  Looking at the pointer for the last time, Tick closed the pocket watch, but she didn't notice that when she closed the pocket watch, the tracking pointer suddenly disappeared strangely.

In the inner city of the holy city, a difference engine store specially provided by the church, a middle-aged man in a tuxedo with a gloomy face is repairing a difference engine, the basic product of the first punk revolution, which in a sense replaced the computer , Whether it is calculation, drawing, or data processing, it is almost the same as an old-fashioned computer.

  All steampunk technology is built on this basis.

   And this middle-aged man is the cyber killer stationed in this conscious world.

  However, the cyber killer suddenly froze, his figure flickering.

  [Consciousness transmission]

  [Consciousness modification completed]

  [New Cyber ​​Killer (Temporary) No. 11314151311, edited]

  The next moment, this gloomy middle-aged man disappeared, and was replaced by a handsome lady. Zhengtai's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and then he regained consciousness, showing a smile that was alluring.

   "Please, Chappie."

  Opposite, on a holographic screen, the exclusive hacker of the Ghost in the Shell Department, Chappie hit a hutch.

   "According to the principle of the mother city, the authority of the cyber killer cannot be handed over to outsiders, especially dangerous elements like you."

   "But the principle of our Ghost in the Shell department is not to follow the principle."

   "If you really do everything according to principles, how can you deal with those big companies."

   "It sounds like you're in a good mood?" The rich woman Aiai heard something from the prototype.

   "Haha, you will find out soon, the old man has made progress, and the eldest sister has already left quietly," Chapai smiled and winked.

   "Okay, you are busy, I will help you look over here."

  The other party hung up the communication.

   Aramaki, and Iori Motoko, what the **** are these two doing?

  Based on intuition, Gao Gong feels that this matter is mostly related to Sister Rose.

  …

  Almost at the same time, Ms. Tick came to the Cyber ​​Killer's stronghold, and looked up at the signboard—'The shop of Gops the Craftsman'.

   "Hello, is your store manager here?"

  According to the rules, Miss Tick tapped the table rhythmically. This is the encrypted communication code given by the ai. Only through this communication code can the cyber killer be contacted.

  Finally, Dida heard the movement, the curtain of the back door was opened, and a boy who looked like light came out and smiled at her:

   "I am Gops, you can also call me Mr. G."

  Tick's small mouth is slightly opened, this cyber killer looks... a bit exaggerated!

  …

   "Drink tea."

  Inside the Differential Machine shop, Gao Gong served the other party a cup of oriental tea that was said to be brought by Sino-Ocean Trade.

  However, Dida still stared at the other party without blinking, and even forgot to pick up the tea.

   This is not surprising. In the previous life, when Gao Gong designed the first version of the rich woman's love prototype, the other party provided a lot of opinions, that is to say, this face is in line with the other party's xp.

   "So, what do you want from me?"

   After serving tea to the other party, Gao Gong still sat on the small bench, studying the 'medieval computer' in front of him.

  He is still very interested in the "computer bionics" such as the difference machine. The intelligent life on each planet, because of the different environment and the different talent of the race, always lights up a different technology tree.

  In fact, even if it is the same intelligent species, the order of the lit technology tree is not exactly the same. For example, the difference machine in front of you, if there is no limitation of materials and precision, it may eventually replace the status of the computer.

   On the other hand, even if the technology branch of 'computer' is lit up, ternary and binary are also uncertain.

  The crystallization of science and technology that has been lit up naturally has its reasons for its success, but if it is not lit up, it does not mean that it will not happen. Maybe it is limited by the limitations of the times, maybe it is just a pure coincidence.

  What Gao Gong wants to know is how this difference engine, which can be compared to the 'first-generation computer', breaks through the limitations of materials and times.

  As a woman of science, Dida has a strong resistance to beauty, so after the initial daze, she quickly recovered, looked at the back of the other party, and said hesitantly:

   "Mr. G, you are the regulator of this world? You—"

   "Deep Web, Ghost in the Shell Department, No. 11314151311."

  In cyberspace, everything can be false, even cyber killers. Many viruses even pretend to be killers and invade data nodes one by one.

   At this time, the 'mother city certification' is the most important anti-counterfeiting mark.

  As an AI, Dida quickly connected to the deep network, electronic data kept slipping in his eyes, the holy city disappeared, replaced by an endless green grid.

   Not a single virus dares to invade here.

  Tick connected to the grid of the mobile shell, and the other grids disappeared immediately. Only the grid of the 'shell mobile' quickly became larger and turned into a city with neon lights.

  Every time I see this place, Dida can't help but sigh with emotion, what a powerful computing power it is to copy an electronic city in a few seconds.

As an intermediate AI, she still can't enter the mobile department of the power shell, but there is a data inquiry station on the periphery, and Tick enters the number into the inquiry station. Soon, the middle of the inquiry station splits, revealing a masked woman's face, empty. With the aid of the ticking pupils, his eyes suddenly landed on Gao Gong.

  The next moment, Gao Gong, Dida, and this face emitted the same electronic light——Chappie's anti-counterfeiting mark is very useful here.

  ‘Humans only have the right to use the brain, and the unbounded maze is the destination of the world. '

  Three faces said this sentence at the same time.

  'The founder of the Kung Fuk Mobile Department doesn't know what to think, preaching,' Gao Gong complained in his heart.

   Dida finally felt relieved. As far as she knew, no cyberspace virus could penetrate the deep web.

   "Mr. G, this world is about to collapse!"

   "In cyberspace, there are many subconscious worlds on the verge of collapse. What's more, the destruction of this subconscious collection of ancient survivors will not affect the real world."

  Tick took a deep breath, "But what if I say that the collapse of this world is the result of someone deliberately manipulating it?"

  Senior Engineer inspected the tooth line arrangement of the difference engine, without looking back: "So what?"

  Tick's tone faltered, endured it for a while, and couldn't help but said: "Isn't it your mission as the guardian of this world to protect this world?"

   "You may have misunderstood," the super gentleman in front of him showed a strange smile.

   "My mission is to ensure that the destruction of this world will not interfere with reality or the "cyber testing ground" in reality. This is my mission."

  "Experiments are to prevent accidents."

   Tick heard the meaning of the other party, and quickly said: "You mean, if the intruder interferes with reality, you will take action?"

   Gao Gong was noncommittal and said, "What evidence do you have?"

"I have! In the last world, that is, when the Pan-Asian continent was destroyed, a large number of AI mysteriously disappeared. I investigated for a long time and found that this matter is closely related to a force called 'Ground Net'. Moreover, all In the ruined world, not even a single fragment can be found!"

   Dida took out a memory chip from his small bag, "This is all my related memories in Fanya! You can verify the authenticity yourself."

   Gao Gong did not take over the chip, but said: "If you follow what you said, then I will not be able to intervene."

"why!?"

   "I just said that the purpose of cyber killers stationed in this world is to ensure the birth and death of subconscious big data without interfering with reality."

"yes!"

   "This was before," Gao Gong finally successfully disassembled the differential engine, touched the **** pattern on the chassis, 'energy circuit'?

"what about now?"

   "I'm afraid you don't know one thing, the corporate war is about to start, and this time the corporate war will be held in the 'cyberspace'."

   "So what?" Tick asked.

  Senior Engineer smiled: "This means that the proving ground of cyberspace will have higher priority than reality."
