Start with a Mechanical Hunter

The sky is filled with dark clouds, as if it is the end of the world. In each network cloud, data is fluctuating rapidly. Light curtains of anti-virus data fall from the sky from time to time, like streaks of rainbow light. More and more data floods the sea and the land. It flooded the new mechanical city and even flooded the memory storage system of every electronic brain.

 “Antivirus, antivirus, target Mr. G.”

　　A brain computer user muttered to himself, and then, as if he had received some instructions, he began to pursue quickly. During the pursuit, sunglasses grew out of the corners of his eyes, and his coat turned into a black suit.

On the street, in addition to men in black suits, there are also red suits, purple suits, and white suits. These people are constantly coming in and out, from a virtual node to reality, and from reality to a new node. They seem to be constantly searching. What.

But soon, a cloud-wing killer changed his expression. He looked up and saw that at some point, the walls of the Mechanical City began to rise. Countless codes gathered upwards, and soon they were higher than the clouds and wrapped around one of the clouds. , and then the city was completely closed and began to sink with the sound of "rumbling". Many cyber killers wanted to break out, but faced with the "Encoding Wall" at the level of the planet's firewall, there was nothing they could do, even the top cloud Wing Killer, his cloud database stored in the mother city is also disconnected.

This coded city keeps sinking, sinking, through the surface, through the mantle, and to the center of the earth. Finally, the signal is annihilated in the rolling heat of the earth's core. A large number of cyber killers have not yet found a way to escape. Submerged by tongues of magma fire, his body first burned into electronic code, and then the code collapsed and turned into source data, disappearing into the center of the earth along with the entire city.

This level of data transfer is not a trick at this level. At least it can only be done by a third-level civilization with full coverage of the galaxy network.

However, under the control of the senior engineer, the computing power of the planet's host was pushed to the limit, and virtual mechanical cities were formed and then sank.

 In order to drive players, Gao Gong directly released more than a dozen high-level tasks. These tasks directly consumed his camp experience, and even the personal experience he had previously stored was completely spent.

However, with the high-tech workers' crazy spawning of monsters, the original experience loss has begun to rise again, and at one time, personal experience even exceeded 10 billion, which is the level of camp experience.

Five-star General MacArthur once said that if you give him a fulcrum, he can move the earth. Now, the planet host 'Deep Web' is that fulcrum. Under the influence of this guidance, the senior engineer can fully display the skills of his previous life. Means, I am afraid that even the Deep Web itself does not have such a deep exploration of the performance potential of the planet host.

In the eyes of the senior engineer at this time, the entire planet has turned into a circular data network, and in this data network, every incoming external signal is a cyber killer. With the workers at their fingertips, these killers seemed to have entered a data maze, and finally they all converged into a trap. The trap sank and fell into the star core recycling bin. The 'star core' is not a star core on the physical level, but a high-level The large model of the star core is hand-made and has all the parameters of the physical star core.

This method is also called 'planet-level data simulation' in the universe. In the last life, Gao Gong could not use it until he completed the ascension of civilization and became the leader of a fourth-level civilization. But now, he has no scruples.

Seeing that even the most powerful 'cyber firewall' on the planet could not catch the senior engineer, the electronic brain ghost barely hesitated. With a wave of his hand, wave after wave of cyber waves came towards him, and connected with the deep network. Heyi's senior engineer kept flashing, shuttling with data no less than Gao Yuanyuan's, constantly dodging waves of memories.

As for the worms and butterflies that spew out from the memory wave, Gao Gong no longer cares at all. In fact, a big mouth will squeeze out of the skin to swallow these memory worms and strengthen himself.

Every person has a shadow. At this time, Gao Gong's shadow had completely abandoned his human body and turned into an insect shadow covering the entire planet.

 Excluding the blessing of the cyber tide, the senior engineer in his current state is the most powerful conscious individual within the memory matrix.

The preparations that Gao Gong made before were not to destroy the memory matrix, but to become part of the memory matrix and preserve his own sanity; only in this way will this battle turn into internal fighting, and internal fighting will not cause The backlash of the memory mother body.

However, senior engineers also gradually discovered that with each wave, the original matter, whether on the information level or the physical level, would disappear, replaced by dense electronic skulls, many of which had virtual skulls on them. helmet.

The brain-computer project gave birth to the electronic brain ghost, and now, the authority of the electronic brain ghost has been further expanded, and even the users of the virtual helmet are within her "brain-computer scope".

Suddenly, Gao Gong's mind moved, and for a moment, the stars seemed to rotate, forming a stream of light codes, activating and recycling instructions. He turned around sharply, and grabbed another pale hand with the palm covering the 'wall of coding'.

 He looked at the target of the sneak attack, a pale girl who looked very much like Gao Yuanyuan.

 The girl suddenly smiled strangely at him, and the rewind system started.

With each wave, the original matter turned into dense electronic skulls.

The senior engineer stood on a virtual plane and with a click of a finger, a virtual mechanical city fell.

The electronic brain ghost came behind him again, grabbing his neck with its pale palms, but this time, the warning code command was not activated. This not only has the ability to rewind the system, but also has the power to destroy intelligence.

 ‘Gao Yuanyuan’, as expected, crushed Gao Gong’s head.

The headless body shook. It did not break into countless memory worms as Gao Yuanyuan expected. Instead, another large worm egg bulged in the gap in the head. As the surface of the worm egg surface The slime splashed down, and a fresh human head was pulled out from it.

 The eyes of the two of them burst into light at the same time.

In the eyes of ‘Gao Yuanyuan’, the current senior engineer is already a human form composed of countless memory worms. The worms on his head look fresh and pink, and there are even a few butterflies dancing around the head.

 Since he has turned into a memory worm, if his head explodes, he will naturally not be affected.

In Gao Gong's eyes, the 'Gao Yuanyuan' in front of him was an ocean of electronic brains composed of countless skull heads, with countless worms crawling around in the empty eyes, and there were dense virtual butterflies on the head.

 In the scene before us, except for the ascended species, everyone is basically going crazy.

 ‘Gao Yuanyuan’’s eyes flashed with a strange light.

It is not surprising that the other party is not dead. After all, the other party has become part of the mother's body, and the mother's body will not die. But what surprises her is that the other party still retains consciousness.

This is an almost impossible thing in the cyber tide, because the only one who can completely retain consciousness is the will of this cyber tide, that is, herself!

 “Are you surprised?”

Gao Gong smiled slightly, the starry sky opened up, and the figure disappeared again.

"consciousness-"

‘Gao Yuanyuan’ closed her eyes. The next moment, all the heads on the planet seemed to be penetrated by ghosts, including Yagami Motoko’s head. Soon, she understood the other party’s plan.

 Cultivation of the next generation of cyber waves to replace themselves.

 The reason why the other party is able to retain consciousness is mostly due to the influence of the next generation cyber wave.

“You are very good at virtual side methods. If so, how can you use them when the global network is outage?”

Following the words of 'Gao Yuanyuan', passers-by walking on the road, patients lying in the hospital, employees working in super enterprises, and six agents from the mother city all stood motionless, and their electronic brains were all blocked. Forced shutdown.

This is just the beginning. Soon, data transfer stations one after another began to shut down, and a large number of data systems directly entered the offline silent mode. Even enterprise hosts entered the shutdown state one by one.

 The entire planet has entered an era of blackout.

 Without bioelectricity produced by the human body, there would be no pseudosensory signals, and without signals, there would naturally be no network.

Perhaps some advanced information civilizations can encode the laws of physics so that the virtual world can be presented without the need for hardware. For example, the 'Fantasy Township' created by someone G did not require any hardware at all. Even a higher-level civilization is very easy to use. It is difficult to find his hometown, which is also an important reason why he has not been beaten to death after selling films for so many years.

But in the machine star, without hardware, the virtual network will be interrupted. No matter how good a hacker or AI you are, if there is no signal, there is no signal. No signal is equivalent to a forced shutdown. Any related skills you have will be directly affected. Entering seal mode, which is equivalent to sealing an entire 'system'.

 This kind of seal is a fatal blow to Gao Gong.

With a flash of blood-colored light, the senior engineer appeared on an island. The virtual cloak and civilized stick on his body all disappeared. When he opened the system panel, he saw that, as expected, all the skills on the virtual side were sealed, and the entire profession of cyber hacker was blackened. After that, only fifth-level information life such as the information matrix can create this kind of effect similar to 'water droplets'. Unless it breaks through the fifth level, all changes in the information level will be sealed.

This kind of seal is no less difficult than sealing in the microscopic realm.

 “Hello, Mr. G.”

 A feminine voice sounded slowly.

The senior engineer turned his head and saw a big python-like memory worm swimming over. This memory worm can be seen. Its swimming method is to secrete eggs to generate forward momentum, so this big python After swimming four or five meters, the snake's body also lengthened by four or five meters.

Then, from the snake body, the worms split and merged, and slowly squeezed out a human shape.
