Start with a Mechanical Hunter

  Chapter 459 Fighting poison with fire

"This is-"

  After restoring the simulated perception, what Dida noticed immediately was the sandy beach under his feet. Countless 0s and 1s constituted gravel, spreading to the end visible to the naked eye.

  She picked up a '0', an indescribable feeling suddenly emerged, and she couldn't help but shuddered.

   "This is a collection of data, don't touch it randomly, it will permanently increase your negative status."

  Accompanied by Mr. G's words, '0' suddenly melted and turned into a liquid similar to 'bean sprouts', trying to penetrate into the 'protective suit'.

  In the system panel, the information can drop rapidly, and soon fell to 2,000. Dida was taken aback, and quickly threw it away.

   In front, Mr. G was talking to a group of 'astronauts', and these 'astronauts' were undoubtedly experts from the Ground Network Group. When she approached, one of the leaders was talking—

   "Confirm the location of the No. 0 sub-database, please. We only have ten minutes. After ten minutes, a new cyber killer will be born. Once discovered, this infiltration will be declared a failure."

   "I understand, you do your own thing, don't worry, as a wanted person, I am more worried than you about being hunted down."

   Soon, these 'astronauts' dispersed, and the data in their hands flickered, constantly turning into various machines.

  As we all know, only with hardware can there be software, and the technology of the Ground Network Group has been able to use the power of "software" to replicate "hardware" in cyberspace.

  The blueprints behind these machines are all above level 7.

  Compared to the scientists who are chasing the clock, the senior engineer is much more relaxed, even looking around, as if looking for something.

   "Is there anything you want to ask?" Foreman Gao didn't reply.

   Dida asked curiously: "This is the source code layer of cyberspace?"

   "Yes and no, to be precise, it is the source code of cyberspace that the Ground Network Group wants us to see."

   "Electrical signals are at the speed of light, but what the human body can sense, the transmission speed of nerve signals is far below the speed of light. This also means that, theoretically, we will never 'be able to see' to the bottom of cyberspace."

  Senior Engineer picked up a '1', and threw it out: "And what we see right now is just the modeling of the Ground Network Group."

   "Data modeling." Tick thoughtfully.

   "That's right, transform the abstracted conceptual model into a physical model, such as this - data collection."

  Looking at the 'digital gravel' all over the floor, Tick asked with interest: "Are they the shells of cyber killers?"

"That's right, these 'data aggregates' are essentially the product of cyberspace data interaction," Gao Gong looked into the distance, and with the strange wind blowing from nowhere, one after another 'data zombies' started The prototype emerges from the gravel. Although it looks like it lacks arms and legs, it can already vaguely feel the unique dangerous feeling of the 'cyber killer'.

"Many large companies and underground organizations are looking for the weakness of the cyber killer, but this is impossible, because unless the cyberspace goes down on a large scale, the data in the space will only interact all the time, and the 'data aggregate' will It will be born every second, and it will never be killed or destroyed."

   "What a terrifying existence!" Dida glanced at the other party, but she hadn't forgotten that when they first met, the other party gave her the identity of a cyber killer.

  This npc must have more background tasks to dig out.

   "What are you looking for?" Seeing that Gao Gong did not use hacking methods to find the No. 0 database, but dug sand everywhere, Dida couldn't help asking.

   "Of course it is to look for 'data aggregates'. You probably don't know that there are some special 'data aggregates', which are also called 'concept fragments'. Absorbing them can provide the blessing of a permanent state."

   Gao Gong's eyes lit up, he turned over the gravel, and a red '0' appeared.

  Concept Body Fragment · Life Blessing: Optimize and transform the respiratory system through big data, the respiratory system transformation rate +1%, and permanently increase the blood volume by 5%.

  'This, this--'

   Dida blinked. As a high-ranking player, she immediately realized the function of this thing, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she quickly joined the 'catch the sea'.

Just looking at the 5% HP, it doesn't seem like a lot, but you must know that this is a permanent blessing, which means that every time you level up, you will increase your HP by 5%. By the middle and late stages of the game, this accumulation will Very exaggerated.

  And for someone with thick blood volume, even if it is only level 30, the increased blood volume is also exaggerated.

   Today's high-tech, biological HP is 8127, mechanical HP is 9327, two 5%, which is equivalent to adding 872 points of HP. Ordinary players can upgrade to seven or eight levels, and the blessings are nothing more than that much.

And on this planet, there are only two places where this kind of "conceptual body fragments" are produced, one is the bottom layer of cyberspace, and the other is the explosion of data conceptual bodies, that is, the group of 80-level mothers of data and pipeline masters. Boss monsters, dropped items.

  It is theoretically possible, but technically...impossible.

  So the drop rate of this thing is extremely low.

  Five minutes passed, and when the 'astronaut' stopped their actions with black lines all over their faces, the 'concept fragments' in the hand of the senior engineer had increased to five.

  Three of them are small top grades, namely permanent blood volume +5%, physical strength permanent +8%, and agility permanent +4%.

  One is a waste product, +3% nervous system transformation rate, but does not increase attributes.

  For players, this may be very useful, after all, the premise of upgrading is to increase the transformation rate, but for high-level engineers, it is standard garbage.

   And the last one is a great product, reproductive system efficiency +15%.

   Only by serving the rich woman well can he continue to wander around. As a little wolf dog, Gao Gong has never forgotten his own job.

"Mr. G, you seem to have forgotten that our real goal is to find the gate of the No. 0 database. Time is running out," the 'astronaut' said indifferently: "If you don't cooperate sincerely, I can take away the ' protective layer, to keep you here forever."

   Gao Gong curled his lips, but he didn't believe that the other party had no other means to locate the No. 0 database except himself.

  But he didn't refute, just smiled and said: "Don't say there are five minutes left, 30 seconds is enough."

"30 seconds?"

  The expression of the 'astronaut' became even uglier, but before he could say anything, the palm of the senior engineer disappeared, and under the action of the cyber programming language, it quickly transformed into a red 'data transmission protocol'.

  As soon as this link came out, a red light appeared on the body surface of the 'astronaut', which was the sign of the highest level of vigilance.

   "You, what do you think?"

   "Of course it is to download some software that is not suitable for children, or, to go a step further, directly download viruses."

The next moment, the 'Data Transfer Protocol' turned into a red line more than ten meters long. The red line was pulled apart violently, and countless rogue software, remote Trojans, system vulnerabilities, and emails were like endless pieces of paper, sprinkled one after another like white snow. In just one breath, this 'desert' is shrouded.

   And in the air, there seemed to be the hysterical laughter of a certain girl.

   The best way to find and deal with viruses is naturally to fight viruses with viruses.
