Start with Mechanical Hunter

Since the integration of cyberspace and the real world, people in the real world can freely enter and exit virtuality and reality.

This virtuality is not completely virtual, but a secondary presentation of visual senses.

People can feel everything in the virtual world, and at the same time, their feet can still be down to earth.

This is a higher level of virtual reality.

However, under Miss Ryan's operation, the three of them discovered that at some point, their bodies had disappeared, leaving only the virtual personalities formed by their own consciousness.

"Hey, come with me. I don't know which floor we have fallen to. It will be quite troublesome to go back."

Alyssa took the lead, and Hongxin quickly followed behind. Ryan pursed his thin lips, finally became honest, and followed step by step.

Originally, under the invasion of the beautiful girl, the surrounding space was completely mosaic, and there were also a large number of nerve current signals and electronic light in the distance.

But as the three of them walked around, at some point, a normal world gradually took shape. There were streets, pedestrians, and vehicles, but there were no flying cars, no aerial tracks, and no super buildings that penetrated the clouds.

This is a world where the intensity of civilization is about the second industrial revolution.

"Let me take a look. Fortunately, it didn't fall too deep." The fat girl looked around, nodded, and walked into a roadside phone booth.

"Is this virtual space hierarchical?" Hongxin asked curiously.

"Well, hierarchical, hierarchical virtual spaces are more suitable for cultivating a civilized ecology."

Fat Ya wiped her hands, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.

Soon, the environment around the two people changed. The real streets disappeared and were replaced by countless sensors, transistors, pseudo-signal operation consoles, and data acquisition systems. Everyone in white coats was busy in front of the stage.

"Who am I talking about? Why is it you, a fat girl again? Didn't I tell you that this world is still being debugged, so don't run around."

A young man in a white coat looked at the three boys and girls coming out of the phone booth and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought another virtual personality awakened itself and broke through this level."

"Hey, brother Liu, don't worry, we're leaving now, we're leaving now."

That 'Brother Liu' waved his hand and got busy again.

Ryan couldn't help but glance at the screen quietly and found that on the control panel, there was dense personal information, which was being classified, stored, and indexed. This information included their age, gender, occupation, personal physique, political tendency, etc.

"There are two types of people who will be unearthed and leave the virtual world and enter reality. One type is scientific experts in a certain research direction, and the other type is self-awakened people with strong consciousness. They find that this world is false. When judging this Once there are no problems with the awakened ones, they will be brought out.”

Alyssa said casually.

'Brother Liu' couldn't help but said: "Don't say too much, or Sister Yuanyuan will beat you."

"Haha, don't worry, they are all our own people."

"So, these people are imprisoned in the virtual space and have no freedom all day long. They are just data that you are responsible for processing?" Ryan couldn't help but ask.

As soon as these words came out, not only 'Brother Liu', but also other people in white coats turned their heads and stared at her in surprise, with strange eyes.

A man in a white coat looked her over and said, "Cyber ​​hacker?"

"She is a cyber hacker, and she is Tyria's sister," Alyssa said quickly, pointing to her brain, "She just came here, hasn't she come here yet?"

"No wonder."

"Your idea is a bit dangerous."

"Cyberspace is free. One hundred million data bodies die unnaturally every year. Are you willing to enjoy such freedom?"

"If you were down there, you would most likely be a target of a danger mark and would need surgery."

Now, even Alyssa didn't dare to take her around anymore. Who knows what kind of violent remarks this hacker girl would have.

Quickly pull the other person open the door and go out.

Unexpectedly, the outside is not real space, but the ground composed of neural signals.

And the white coats disappeared.

This seems to be a virtual world again.

"Isn't this reality?" Ryan asked again. This little Barbie was probably just one-minded, or maybe he had been alone for a long time and didn't notice the atmosphere at all.

"Most likely not, it should be another virtual layer," Hongxin said thoughtfully.

The fat girl stepped on the nerve signal ground, and her whole body quickly turned into humanoid data. The other two people followed suit and also turned into humanoid data.

"Originally, we wanted to make it a 'sea of ​​data' like cyberspace, but our sister Yuanyuan thought about it for a long time and finally rejected this idea."

"Why?"

"Two reasons. One is that we are a purely artificial data space and do not need to be connected to reality all the time. Naturally, we do not need to create such a large data access layer."

"Second, we want to try and use big data to cultivate some concepts. This also requires a large amount of data as nutrients. Creating a sea of ​​data is a bit wasteful."

Ryan thought for a while, then added the 'reality layer', 'control layer', and the 'big data layer' where he is now, and said: "So, this is a three-layer virtual space?"

"To be precise, there are five floors in total. In fact, according to the plan, a complete virtual space should have thirteen floors."

"What are the other two floors?" Ryan asked persistently.

Alyssa did not answer directly, but looked at Xiao Zhengtai and said with interest: "What do you think?"

Hongxin thought for a while and said:

"There should be a layer, a layer of data guards similar to 'cyber killers'. They will be responsible for the security of the entire thirteenth floor."

"Guessed it right!"

Before Ryan could ask any more questions, Alyssa's eyes lit up, "Found it!"

I saw three human bodies in the grid not far away, which were locked in the electronic grid.

Alyssa snapped her fingers, three square electronic grids opened, and the three bodies were sealed in the electronic grids.

"Watch it!"

Alyssa jumped on the spot, and something embarrassing happened. Her fat belly got stuck on the electronic grid, and she only jumped halfway.

Not only did the little shot's eyes twitch, but even the upright Ryan couldn't help but smile.

"Well, help me, press it for me."

…

In reality, there is an abandoned cyber cafe. The cafe is full of "fake network implant warehouses". Each of these implant warehouses is full of dust. They appear to be Internet-connected devices, but in fact they all have backdoor software installed. 'Brain-computer mining equipment'.

Your head is a ‘data mine’.

Yagami Motoko was standing in front of a stage, making final preparations.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

A man in a suit with pale and transparent skin walked in. When the sun shined, this man seemed to disappear.

And this person is Agent No. 1002 of the Memory Supervision Department - the former Alien Life Observation Agency.

No. 1002 looked at the other party, shook his head, and said: "Ghost and Shadow can't participate."

Yagami Motoko frowned. Among the joint teams, these two were actually the best at infiltrating. However, in the cyber tide, one was hit by 'Personality Reset', the other by 'Cyber ​​Psychosis', and the other two were hit by 'Cyber ​​Psychosis'. Without infiltration, two important players were scrapped.

"Super Computing Type 8, can you still contact the fortress?"

A cold voice sounded from the implanted earphones.

"It's okay, but I suggest you go faster, otherwise our team will be reduced again."

"What do you mean?" Iori Motoko frowned.

"Recently obtained information."

With two beeps, Yagami Motoko received the data transmitted from the other party.

'Corporate will backlashes, tens of thousands of employees die', 'Corporate will clears databases, tens of billions of company assets are written off', 'Super AI disappears, data processing centers are closed', 'A super data building in the mother city caught fire, the number of deaths is unknown' .

“A new wave is coming, and this wave is targeting ‘big data masters’, and I am exactly one of them.”

"Also, this wave is obviously much more intelligent than the other waves. Didn't you receive the news? The six super intelligences were attacked at the same time. It's hard to say what's going on now."

Yagami Motoko's expression changed slightly.

"Being able to attack the body of the surveillance intelligence means that the opponent's signal transmission can penetrate from the earth's crust to the center of the earth. This is something that is impossible to achieve with the information technology of this planet," No. 1002 said.

"You mean, there is alien life?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. According to my investigations over the years, many alien forces began to lurk during World War II. The cloud nobles were the hardest hit."

Yagami Motoko was silent for a while and said:

"The arrow is on the string and must be fired."

"With our power, we cannot stop the 'monster under the stars'. Only by rescuing the real fortress and restarting the planet's defense system can we resist the crisis from the universe!"

Yagami Motoko pulled up her duffel bag and put it on her back. No. 1002 walked silently behind her. Soon, other members also appeared one after another. Extremis, Living Dead, Yi Skeleton, etc. were all the elites among the six elites. , they have been preparing for nearly half a year, and the target of this special operation is exactly the host of this planet.

…

In the deep sea area where the information was submerged, Zhan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with countless war scenes, each of which represented the history of war on this planet.

Ultimately, the scene freezes at the moment when the empire is destroyed.

"I am the artificial intelligence of the empire, and I will avenge the empire."

Under the sea, in the sky, and on the mainland, an SS-level radiation beast was awakened. There was only one order from the information submersible. When the nobles in the clouds descended, clean up the mechanical corps around the fortress.

…

At almost the same time, the large orbital space station 'City in the Clouds' also slowly entered the radiation layer, entering the planet again since its exile.
