This is not mechanical ascension.

The lights turned on and the voice of artificial intelligence sounded: "Welcome to visit, stranger."

Li Ming glanced inside, but did not go in for the first time. He took a few photos around the spacecraft, and then submitted it to Black Hole Network for an estimate.

Only then did he realize that Uncle Lame had sent him a message a few hours ago.

"Boy, I stole something. Silver Gray City is conducting a large-scale manhunt throughout the city. However, the city guards have been transferred away and there is a shortage of manpower. Where should I find you now?"

good! Li Ming breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly replied: "I will send you a location. You come here to find me. Remember to bring your things."

Uncle Lame responded with an OK expression, obviously waiting for news from Li Ming.

A big stone fell from his heart, and Li Ming began to explore the spacecraft, only to find that he could not go anywhere except the public area, and all the cabins were locked.

"Sorry for the strange visitor, your permission is limited to public areas." The artificial intelligence apologized for his inquiry. The spaceship card can open the spaceship, but that's it.

"Only authorized by the captain, or with the highest authority, can access other cabins."

"The captain is dead..." Li Ming was speechless. He opened the control page and found the small brain he had obtained before. After taking control, a large amount of hacker information suddenly poured into his mind.

A large number of characters kept coming, permission mechanisms, firewalls... Soon, he became a mature hacker.

"This kind of low-level artificial intelligence AI can be cracked by overloading digital basic logic to perform DoS attacks, but I don't have the tools at hand."

He frowned, activated [Computing Power Support] again, and upgraded his hacking skills to an advanced level. His mind was filled with overwhelming information, and the overwhelming amount of information made Li Ming dizzy.

"Huh..." Li Ming rubbed his temples and took out the simple smart terminal he had purchased before and carried with him. He took it apart and reassembled it in a few clicks.

"Using it as a carrier, although the Y332 chip is not very good at graphics processing, the core frequency is not bad, but it needs to break through the power consumption wall..."

He thought for a moment and then said: "As a public visitor, the electrical appliances I carry have special voltage requirements, and I am required to increase the voltage you provide by 25%."

"No problem," the AI ​​responded, which was within the purview of public visitors.

"As a public visitor, I have a job to complete. To use a public computer, please open the data transfer port."

"no problem."

Li Ming connected the smart terminal to the data transmission port and inserted it into the adjusted voltage socket. Li Ming quickly started operating.

"Warning! Warning!" The lights in the room were flickering, and the artificial intelligence began to shout, with the frequency rising and falling.

In just a minute or two, sparks burst out from the smart terminal in Li Ming's hand.

At the same time, all the lights on the spacecraft were extinguished, and then suddenly turned on again. The voice of the artificial intelligence had calmed down: "Hello, Captain."

Li Ming was not surprised. If it weren't for the handy tools, this kind of low-level artificial intelligence could solve the problem faster.

"Open all cabins, call up the voyage log, and the monitoring of the recent period." He ordered.

"As you wish."

drip-drip-drip-

All the hatches opened at the same time, and Li Ming explored each one to see if there was anything good left behind.

About half an hour later, Li Ming moved everything he could find to the public area.

There are a lot of weapons, including a bunch of firearms and ammunition, but not many are useful and most of them are junk.

But if he absorbs it, it can also give him nearly a thousand points of metal energy.

Li Ming absorbed the metal energy while checking the voyage log.

"These guys have cleared at least hundreds of items..."

"The contact time of this chief was shortly after the assassination. He should be one of their senior officials..."

Unconsciously, time was passing by, and Li Ming's eyes suddenly flashed, and then relaxed.

"Your spaceship looks good. Where did it come from? Did you just buy it second-hand?" The lame man walked in from the cabin, looked at it as he walked, and marveled.

The rectangular object on the back was covered with black cloth.

"I didn't buy this, I picked it up." Li Ming said casually.

"Picked it up?" The lame man laughed, "Then you are very lucky."

He glanced at it casually, but his expression suddenly froze, his pupils dilated, and then he quickly walked to the pile of debris, picked up a piece of black clothes, his hands trembled in disbelief, "This...this...this is "Jin"" ”

Li Ming turned his head and glanced, there was a red flame on the clothes.

"It seems so."

"It seems?" The cripple looked horrified, "What's your reaction? This is Jhin's spaceship! How did you pick up this..."

"Wait a minute..." The lame man suddenly came to his senses. Looking at the spaceship card placed on the table, an incredible idea emerged in his mind.

His throat rolled, and he asked cautiously: "Did you surrender?"

"Huh?" Li Ming was stunned. He didn't expect a cripple to ask such a question. He said speechlessly: "Do my bones look so soft?"

"I killed all those people. I took their spaceship cards and came over to take a look." He said lightly, but the lame man was stunned in place.

Killed...that group of people?

Did he hear it correctly?

He knew the level of these guys. If someone hadn't tipped them off last time, he would have laid many traps and called people to help.

Even so, the killing was extremely brutal and he barely managed to survive.

As a result, Li Ming was killed so lightly?

Thousands of emotions surged in his heart, and when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them, so he just stood there blankly.

"By the way, do you know who is the chief?" Li Ming asked.

"Chief?" Cripple was excited and said calmly: "It should be the leader of the organization "Jin"."

He looked at the screen in the cabin, where the log data and surveillance video were playing quickly, and he couldn't help but hesitated: "Do you still have the highest authority here?"

"Otherwise?" Li Ming shrugged. The lame man hesitated to speak. Suddenly, he felt that a layer of black mist was covering Li Ming's body, almost making it difficult for him to see clearly.

"Uncle Lame!"

The cripple suddenly came back to his senses, only to find that Li Ming had walked up to him without knowing it, with confusion on his face: "What's wrong with you? I called you two or three times."

"Show me that thing on your back." Li Ming pointed.

"Oh." The cripple seemed a little at a loss. The thing hit the floor with a bang, and then he asked: "What on earth do you want this thing to do? Isn't this just a testing device?"

Li Ming didn't say anything. He touched it and breathed a sigh of relief, indicating that nothing had changed.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Cripple didn't ask any questions, and said calmly: "The news of the death of this team cannot be kept secret for too long. You are the only target on the Silver Gray Star, so you must be the biggest suspect."

"We'd better leave here as soon as possible. I have a channel to sneak to Kasakuk first, and then from Kasakuk to Sandstar."

"The only cross-culture star gate is on the capital star. We definitely can't go there. We can only sail slowly. We should be able to reach the nearest civilization of Insus in three to five years..."

"When the time comes, I'll find a way to find an identity and hide for a while."

"Uncle Lame, I'm tired just listening to such a long list." Li Ming shook his head and interrupted: "I'm not ready to leave just yet."

"Don't leave?" The lame man glared, "Don't think that killing these people will make you stronger. You just let it go. Now that you have been exposed as special, they will never let you go."

"How do you play!"

"Of course I can't play. Where is Professor Wu?" Li Ming asked.

The lame man was stunned, "Professor Wu..."

"If we do as you say, at least five or six years will be wasted, and we won't even get any resources."

"Although Professor Wu is not very popular now, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It is indeed no problem to simply protect you." The lame man nodded, but frowned: "But why should he protect you?"

"Guess." Li Ming smiled, but the lame man held it back and glared at him fiercely.

"I'm already in my forties and fifties, and I've enjoyed everything I should enjoy. If you want to play, then go ahead. The worst is to die together."

The lame man muttered and picked up a pipe from the pile of debris on the ground.

"Hey, this kind of old stuff is not common." He looked at it, then rinsed the nozzle with water, lit the remaining tobacco in it, found a corner and sat down to smoke.

Li Ming walked into a hatch with the detector in his arms, closed the door, put his palms together, and lost 20,000 points of metal energy.

Li Ming put it into the control column and tried to activate its ability.

The control bar actually disappeared, as if it was temporarily locked.

And he also keenly felt that something had happened to his body, and wisps of indescribable energy continued to flow out and infiltrated into every part of his body.

"After a while, I should have the so-called purification potential."

Li Ming thought about it. After coming out, the lame man was sitting beside the cabin, still puffing away.

And he walked straight to the operating table and took out the high-end USB flash drive found on Chen Songnan.

The elongated cylindrical base has a port.

Pulling out a data cable from the console, he connected it, and a window popped up on the virtual screen in front of him - "Unable to retrieve data!"

Unrecognizable, this is what Li Ming expected. Quantum encryption is an extremely simple and crude encryption method. The randomly arranged passwords are almost endless, and only the quantum key entangled with them can be unlocked.

"What is this?" The lame man was curious and came over to take a look.

"Quantum encrypted USB flash drive." Li Ming explained casually, his hands wandering over the virtual keyboard like phantoms, and a large number of data windows kept popping up and disappearing.

"Quantum encryption?" Cripple was quite surprised, "The things here are not simple, aren't they."

"Didi-dip-"

A red warning window appeared on the virtual screen. Li Ming frowned slightly, "Can't you untie it?"

"You want to solve it?" The lame man was even more surprised. He coughed twice and white smoke came out of his mouth and nose. "You know about quantum entanglement. Only quantum keys can match the ever-changing encryption methods."

"Without the cooperation of a team and a server terminal, it would be a dream to solve it."

Li Ming naturally understood.

"Senior hacker, that's not enough." Li Ming pondered, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to upgrade the small brain.

This thing definitely can't be handed over to Qin Xiao directly.

Four thousand points of metal energy were consumed immediately, the small brain transformed, the metal shell became more refined, and all physical buttons disappeared. Instead of getting bigger, they shrank to the size of a watch.

[Small Intelligent Brain--D: A more professional computing power support tool.

…

Control effect: Hacking technology-advanced

Control ability - computing power blessing: temporarily improve hacking skills to master level. 】

"Master level?"

Li Ming raised his eyebrows, a hacker master?

Feeling the familiar feeling of dizziness, he immediately activated [Computing Power Blessing]. In an instant, an indescribable feeling came over him, and a large amount of information was poured into his mind.

It seemed like he had been sitting in front of the intelligent computer for decades. His daily task was to operate the intelligent computer day after day, and he could easily master all kinds of relevant knowledge.

"Huh... such a powerful master." Li Ming shook his head to relieve the pain, but suddenly froze, his eyes were stunned, and a line of words appeared on the blue screen that only he could see--

[Hacker technology is upgraded to master level, and the ability is obtained-personal terminal, whether to consume [small intelligent computer] to permanently solidify this ability? ]

After upgrading a certain technology to master level, the ability term can be derived, and the ability can be permanently solidified on the body by consuming the control object.

Li Ming's mind emerged with enlightenment. The old master who has been immersed in a certain way for many years always has his own unique skills, but his unique skills are a bit against the sky.

[Personal terminal: temporarily turn yourself into a server terminal of the same level]

"In theory, upgrading to C level, the skill level is equivalent to the master level. This temporary improvement is equivalent to taking a shortcut." Li Ming pondered.

To upgrade to C level, the metal energy consumed is tens of thousands.

Solidification must be solidified, otherwise there is basically no hope of cracking. The server terminal is completely different from the ordinary terminal.

But after solidification, the small intelligent brain disappears, and the master hacker blessing is naturally gone.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Li Ming standing still, the lame man thought he was frustrated in cracking, so he comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, quantum encryption is a well-known problem, and many bounty hunters are afraid of encountering it."

"Everyone has his own expertise. It's amazing that you can crack the artificial intelligence of this spacecraft. Many hacker experts specially hired in bounty hunter teams are at this level."

Li Ming glanced at him and sat back in front of the operating table.

He thought of a way. First, with the help of a master hacker, he wrote a cracking program, and after solidification, he could directly start the cracking program.

"Ding-"

After several hours, Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the last button to start the cracking program.

His fingers touched the operating table, and then the two had a special connection. His body seemed to be doing high-frequency physical activities, quickly getting hot and steaming, which made the lame man stunned.

During this period, Li Ming took several breaks. It was not until dawn that a large number of windows popped up on the virtual screen in front of him, all densely packed with files.

The lame man next to him, who was originally smoking a cigarette calmly, almost popped his eyes out at this moment, and his whole face was almost stuck to the virtual screen. He said in disbelief: "Did you really solve it?"

"What else? Did it figure it out by itself?" Li Ming was exhausted physically and mentally, but he still wanted to joke and clicked on the files one by one.

"No... Let me take it slowly." The lame man was dizzy. When he knew that Li Ming was already an E-level life form, he was not so surprised.

Because, that was still something that "people" could do, but what about now?

After all, he had been in the bounty hunter business for many years and had some understanding of hackers.

The hacker's own technology is one aspect, and the equipment is another aspect. The latter is even more critical than the former.

It is too outrageous that the artificial intelligence of such a small spaceship can solve quantum encryption.
