Chapter 52: Raphael's Gender
If there's one player favorite, it's probably the list of mission rewards.
"Rocket jetpack capable of flying with a payload of up to 340kg."
"Adaptive optics camouflage generator that makes the user optically invisible."
"Microwave Oscillator ......"
Asker put down the list and asked:
"You can all provide these equipment in stock immediately?"
"Of course not." "The magic tide just passed yesterday, and the factory's production line has not yet been restored, so it can only be postponed. ”
"That's it." Aske said, "Although these equipment are very useful, the next time the magic tide comes, it will be scrap metal." Speaking of which, the adaptive force field shield that His Majesty gave me as a reward last time was not used by us yet, so I guess it was destroyed in this magic tide. ”
"It's inevitable." Walyan sneered and said, "Do you want a mechanical product that doesn't contain electronic components?" It's okay, but it's all cold weapons, and the value is much lower than the one on this list. ”
"No, I mean, not the finished product." Aske laughed and said, "I want the 'Templar Privileges.'" ”
Temple privileges? Valyan was slightly stunned before he realized what he was talking about.
At this time, the cutting-edge manufacturing industry of the entire continent was concentrated in the small Italian and Canadian peninsulas.
The Templars who followed the diocese stationed in various countries, for example, needed to replace scrapped high-tech prosthetic eyes and limbs due to the magic tide, and had to place orders and send them back to the headquarters in Italy and arrange delivery through the Templars' dedicated logistics network.
At the same time, in mainland countries, many princes and nobles who have a friendly relationship with the Holy See, such as those who want to buy high-end military equipment or military vehicles, must also be approved by their dioceses and place orders through the Templar trading network, which is the so-called "Templar privilege".
Of course, this permission is not something that ordinary people can get.
For example, last year, when the Azure Sword cooperated with the Eastern Branch of the Night's Watch, and when they wanted to exchange their supplies, they were told that all Sequence III and above supernatural things were not in stock, and that they needed to apply to the Night's Watch headquarters in Florence and be shipped through the Templars' trading network - and this permission would never be granted to outsiders.
If it were another mercenary group, it would be impossible for Valian to agree to open this opening.
You must know that if you buy technological equipment at one time, the other party will only use it for a year at most, and it will soon be scrapped in the next round of magic tide, but the Templars' trading rights? That is equivalent to saying that as long as you have money, you can place an order for any black technology equipment at any time, and if you are not careful, you will become a capital enemy.
However, the Azure Sword Mercenary Regiment is not an outsider after all. Not to mention anything else, just our family's little sister Nora is in this team, in case she wants to buy a smart firearm to play with, can the family still withhold it?
Sitting in the position of cardinal, the princes and nobles of various countries had in their hearts and minds the "privilege of the temple", which was only a few words in the hands of Bishop Valyan, so he readily agreed:
"Yes, I will talk to His Majesty about it."
After agreeing on the reward for the mission, Asker, accompanied by Nola, accompanied by Valyan, went to the Holy See.
"This is the information connection pod." Valyan led the two to a room, "You just have to stay inside and put on your helmet." We'll build your body in Raphael's database. ”
Asker: ..................
What kind of information connection pod, isn't this the game pod of "A Song of Iron and Fire"?
Thinking that there is also this thing in "A Song of Iron and Fire", and then the player who does this task, has to enter another virtual world in the virtual holographic world...... He suddenly felt a deep bad taste from the game production team.
Lying down in the game pod, Asker puts his helmet on. Valyan had already gone to the monitoring room, and Nora had moved a chair and sat next to him.
Although his brother had repeatedly assured Ask that he would be fine, and even promised to terminate the plan to let Ask out as soon as he was harmed by the fragments of the encryption program, Nora couldn't help but worry.
Head...... It should be fine, right?
She stared faintly at Aske in the information connection module, and suddenly her eyes were drawn to the surveillance screen opposite.
On the screen, in a world of data streams, Asker's figure has emerged.
"Here, it seems to be a warehouse?"
Asker looked around, and at this time he was in a boxy room, the walls were pure white, without a single gap, as if they had been poured in one piece.
"Hello, Your Excellency Asker." Beside him, a human figure emerged from the void.
It was a graceful woman with waist-length silver hair, about the height of Asker, and six pairs of supple wings of light spread out behind her back.
"I am the special process of the artificial intelligence Raphael, temporarily appearing in front of you in the form of a twelve-winged serapher, and will guide you to the possible location of the cryptographic fragments."
"Why did you choose this angel image?" Asker asked.
"Because according to my analysis of you, you should have a special preference for beautiful female companions." Raphael replied, his voice cold and inaudible with no sarcasm.
Asker: ..................
"You must be mistaken." He hurriedly defended and said, "Actually, I never cared about the gender of my companions......"
"So even if I show up to you as a pretty woman, you shouldn't care about it, right?" There was an elegant indifference in Raphael's tone.
"Forget it, let's hurry up." Aske noticed that the artificial intelligence was a little dark, and quickly pulled the topic back, "Where are we now?" ”
"We're now at the DM layer, which is the 'data mart.'" Raphael replied, "All the data here has been visualized and categorized and presented to the Holy See's clients in its entirety. Chaotic data is not on the first floor. ”
She waved her slender hand, and a staircase appeared on the floor in front of her: "Let's go." ”
Asker followed her down the stairs and into an open field. The room they walked out of was a cube suspended high above the field, connected to the ground by a staircase.
There are thousands of such cubes, and it is simply impossible to count them with the naked eye.
"What you're seeing right now is all the cubes floating in the air, and each cube is a data mart with thousands of 'table data' stored in it." Raphael said lightly.
"What sustains them is the field beneath our feet, the DW layer, which is the data warehouse. The data warehouse records all the organized data and distributes it to a designated data mart. ”
"Underneath this field is the ODS layer, which is the operational data store. Every minute and every second, there is a huge amount of real-time generated chaotic data, flowing out of the data sub-database, and my process is responsible for summarizing and extracting it to support the information change of the data warehouse. ”
"The fragment of the encryption program that you are dealing with this time is located in the data network at the ODS layer. They have powerful anti-injection capabilities and will constantly try to bypass privileges and 'code insert', 'traffic isolation' and 'data wipe' on your information body. ”
"Please be careful."
