Electrode City is a shelter, so the information protection of residents is very strict, those houses, connected to the anonymous boarding computer outside, inside the Electrode City, is a very high security firewall.

ATM-2 was informed early on that someone was coming to trade. Although it posted a bounty on the bulletin board, there were still very few people who came to the door. There is no way, his experience is all very backward war technology, and it belongs to the dragon slaying technique in the circle of residents of Electrode City.

"I heard that you are offering a bounty on Ghana, isn't there a lot of it on the Internet? Why not see for yourself? ”

The online here refers to the internal forum of Electrode City.

"Those are all excerpts from the news, you should know, the media people are simply not reliable. And I need more detailed, more in-depth messages, not hearsay gossip. It paused, grimacing its face, and said politely, "So, if you don't have enough reliable first-hand information, you can go now." If I judge the message to be worthless, I won't pay for it either. ”

Delan waved his hand and sat down next to ATM-2, and the two established a private channel to prevent the conversation from being heard.

"A few months ago, I got this news from an acquaintance who was smuggling arms. He said there was a collection of discarded military machinery, remnants of several civil wars in Africa a few years ago. I bought some accessories and metal junk to use to practice, oh, I'm a mechanic, you know, how much material do we have to spend to practice in order to be fruitful in this business? Once, when I was practicing, I found a chip from the pile of scrap items that were said to have been transported from the African battlefield, which contained an order from a military superior, and there was originally an electronic map, but it was encrypted, so I didn't open it without permission. ”

"It sounds like that, but I'm going to have to watch it first."

Delan is a little helpless, he said it a long time ago, but he can't treat AI as a fool, these AIs are all ghostly, and if he doesn't see a rabbit, he won't have a hawk, and he won't have any gambling psychology at all.

Fortunately, Derui still has a follow-up move: "Of course you can, but if you don't buy it, how can I ensure the uniqueness of my information?" I'll make a copy of it to you, and you'll have to delete all the records you've seen after you've seen it. In addition, if we complete the transaction, you will have to seal our transaction for 24 hours. ”

As if the memory is erased, the ATM-2 will theoretically not remember to read a document at all, and cleverly, even if the transaction is successful, the ATM-2 will not remember, and in its case, it will only remember the transaction limit - i.e., whether it is successful or not, it will forget the whole process.

"Yes." I readily agreed.

Delan was a little nervous, no, there wouldn't be any traps, right? He remembered the Turing test he had participated in several times and the experience of dealing with high-level AI in Utopia, and he felt that he had a sense of déjà vu, the déjà vu of getting into a trap.

It's the same a few times, the AIs always make a lot of sense, they are like top salesmen going to be politicians, talking eloquently, for good reasons, and convincing you very well. Don't be afraid of your requests, your requests will always be granted quickly, and if you take advantage of the loopholes and want to make any excessive requests, they will not hesitate to refuse.

However, ATM-2 did not think twice about this obviously loophole transaction process, which made Delan feel very weird.

Every time they agreed without delay, Delan had to start being vigilant, until the AI realized that they could no longer take advantage of Delan and changed this strategy, and began to slyly pretend to think, and even "want to get away with it". These are not "lies" or "fakes", but are general operational strategies.

Delan transferred the files to ATM-2, and for the sake of secrecy, communication between the two took place only over a private channel, without the need for words.

Sure enough, ATM-2 was not very satisfied after reading it, and said noncommittally: "This is an ordinary retreat order, this kind of news, it was everywhere on the forum in the early years, and there is nothing very valuable." "Nonsense, Delan thought to himself, after all, he and Dre didn't care about Ghana, and this thing was almost a specious article cobbled together from the Electrode City forum.

Delan is a little angry, damn it, brother, what are you breaking the university level, plagiarism is not good, but when deciding on this plan at that time, Delan himself said that he had never faked, he was not suitable for this, and he couldn't say anything. Fortunately, Diaverum had PLAN B in the first place, which is the real reason why Delan agreed to use this crappy thing to fool the AI.

At this time, ATM-2 did not refuse the transaction early, but put forward a new statement: "I am still interested in the electronic map you mentioned, and usually, these retreat plans will indicate a lot of additional information on the electronic map, can I take a good look at it?" ”

Delan refused without hesitation: "No way, this information is very important, if you are not ready to buy it, I will not agree to you anyway." "But I thought to myself, good guy, I've really taken the bait.

ATM-2 sighed "regretfully": "Is it impossible? Okay, then the transaction is aborted, and I will delete the viewing record and copy of this document, as if I haven't seen it, I hope I can trade with you next time. As he spoke, he showed his brain, and the skull seemed to become transparent, and he could clearly see that the documents were shredded and erased. Delan is an old man, and he will not be frightened by this kind of superficial effort, and at the end of ATM-2, he deliberately asked:

"Happy trading?"

"Huh? Is it over? Happy trading. ”

The two shook hands and walked out the door. One step, two steps, three steps Delan paused slightly, and ATM-2 said with a little sarcasm: "Have you forgotten something?" ”

Delan smiled: "No." ”

Then he strode out the door. ATM-2 continued to turn its head to drink "wine", occasionally looking at TV, the cup in his hand rotating regularly, as if thinking about something. In another corner of the bar, a figure in a heavy fur coat and cowboy hat followed Delan to check out.

Delan walks down the street, daytime is a good time for mining, any computer wants to be a resource to use, it must first be connected to the Internet, and most machines only work during the day.

What the miners in Electrode City have to do is to screen the IDs that access the network one by one all day long when the Internet traffic is at its highest, and then compare them all day long to see how long they have been on the Internet and whether the frequency is high.

Those who stay for an hour or two and disappear, only log in three or five days a week of machines, generally a good "pit", miners send some small programs to prospect, some small programs invade the pit, immediately will be quietly executed, check how fast the "mining machine" runs, how large the memory, once tested, immediately evacuate, to avoid being found by the machine's own anti-virus software.

At the same time, other small programs will be transformed into small transmitters, regularly sending signals to the electrode city and establishing contact, they can send the detected information to the miners on time, and avoid some machines suddenly getting off the machine and losing contact. The next time they connect to the network, miners can easily find their "mining sites".

There aren't many of these resources, after all, most of the time, people are connected to the Internet around the clock. Compared with the "rental house" that changes people from time to time, but the machine is always connected to the Internet, the time for this resource to connect to the Electrode City is not very stable, so there is also the term "suburban villa", which is intended to go on vacation occasionally, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth to the Electrode City.

Some high-tech miners can occupy the magpie's nest and successfully invade the machine's power system and network card, which is convenient. This kind of "high-end residence" will only trade with AI with high status, and high status means that AI has a good brain and is not easy to poke out of the basket.

Occasionally, with a bit of luck, a miner can dig up some valuable data from a computer and get rich overnight. But again, this is already a complete hacking act, and how easy is it for AI to break through a computer's encryption? Often only AI specializing in the field of encryption and decryption has this ability, and it is impossible to do porcelain without diamonds.

Delan hadn't gone far when a stranger suddenly stopped him behind him.

"Please stay!"

He turned his head, it was a mysterious figure dressed very tightly and wearing a mask, he was not impressed, and it was definitely not someone he knew.

"Hehe, I'm a merchant running between this Electrode City and the outside world. Just had the pleasure of meeting you at a bar and wanted to negotiate a deal with you. ”

"You listened to our conversation?" Delan was a little surprised, "What is the deal?" What can I do here, what do you want? ”

"Ah, hehe, it's unfortunate that the contemptible person has a bit of spying skills. Of course, this is not a rumor. Ah, don't be nervous, I have to remind you that there is no natural privacy clause in Electrode City, and it is not illegal to steal information based on your skills. ”

It continued to brazenly say: "Hehe, what about me, I have heard a lot, so I want to intervene, I wonder if you can cede that document to me?" ”

Delan is a little curious, this fishing is not caught, how to hang up a crab?

"Since you've heard it, you should have heard its evaluation, this is not really something of value, to tell you the truth, that document is a patchwork trick, the real important thing is the electronic map, but I didn't even give it, let alone let you inspect the goods, can you think clearly?"

The AI who claimed to be a merchant smiled from ear to ear: "Haha, don't be sloppy, I know very well that it's a fake, right?" Do you think all I'm eavesdropping on is your conversation with that AI? But it doesn't matter, that's what I want. As for how I sell it, you don't need to worry about it, I can guarantee that I won't spread the word about your technology and fraud, how about it? ”
