Chapter 029: The Action Begins

"What's the situation?"

Mikoto Misaka nodded her forehead, as if organizing her words, and said after a few seconds, "The means used by this helmet to kill people is to release high-frequency microwave signals, right?" There are several conditions for triggering high-frequency microwave signals, such as the death of the characters in the game, the power is cut off, the network is disconnected, and the helmet is forcibly removed. ā€

Don nodded, and Asuna held back the suspicion in her heart and listened carefully.

"Originally, I thought that all of this was because there was some control program in this helmet, and after triggering the above conditions, it would give the helmet a signal, so that the helmet could increase the amount of high-frequency microwave signals released, so as to cause death, right?"

Mikoto Misaka suddenly raised her voice and said, "But that's not the case at all, it's the opposite!" ā€

"This helmet is meant to kill people, and its power is normally equivalent to that of a microwave oven. No, it's even stronger than a microwave oven, and it will scorch people's heads in an instant! ā€

Asuna exclaimed, obviously Mikoto Misaka's metaphor of a microwave oven and a scorched head made her deeply understand what the so-called killing game is.

Tang En's eyes lit up and he said, "You mean, this core program is not a program to kill people, but a program to limit power?" ā€

Mikoto Misaka nodded and said, "That's it, if there is no core control program inside this NERvGear, this helmet is actually a helmet-shaped microwave oven, and if you put your head deep into the microwave oven and power it yourself, it's just suicide!" ā€

"I see."

Donn understood.

The original power of NERvGear was concealed by Akihiko Kayaba, it was a microwave oven that was enough to kill, and what was executed in the core program was actually a protection program, and only when the program was working normally, NERvGear's killing microwave was suppressed and became an acceptable level for the human body.

So, what could cause this core program, which is actually protecting players, to stop working?

1. When the player dies in SAO, I am afraid that the signal sent back at the same time as the death is that the protection program will stop working, and then NERvGear will return to normal power and roast the player's head.

2. Power outages, network disconnections, and forced disconnection will also stop the protection program, resulting in the death of the player.

"So, Akihiko Aoba, this guy just planned early. If this core program were a murder program, we would only need to destroy the core program to save everyone, but now ......"

"Now, if the core program is broken, everyone will just die in an instant. I see, no wonder the game has lasted for more than two years and no one has been able to decipher NERvGear, not that they can't, but they don't dare. ā€

Mikoto Misaka nodded and said, "Moreover, it is basically impossible to decipher this core program. Akihiko Aoba uses the technology of quantum computing, that is, without his decoding means, this core program in our opinion is completely useless gibberish, and it is impossible to decipher. ā€

"In addition, unlike this high-tech quantum core program, all the sensors inside this NERvGear are purely mechanical structures, and if you want to stop them from working, unless you can unlock the internal black box of these mechanical structures, you can only forcibly destroy them."

Asuna seemed to finally understand, and said, "So, there is only one result of forcible destruction, which leads to the damage of the internal mechanism, and the player dies, right?" ā€

Don and Mikoto Misaka nodded.

"Oh, no, why are you here too! Hey, you're not going to tell her everything, she's ......."

"She's our collaborator and has the right to know the truth, doesn't she? Besides, our goal is to save the players who are about to be used as playthings by Kihiko Kayaba. ā€

Mikoto Misaka frowned, she still didn't agree with Donne's approach, and casually gave Asuna future spoilers, maybe she could help them, but how much impact would it have on Asuna herself?

"Or do you think we should stop telling Asuna the truth and let her continue the killing game on September 6th?"

"Well, please don't quarrel for me. I'm grateful to Big Brother Don, although I entered the game and survived, but the thought of having to live in an unfamiliar game for two years is simply not enough for me to ......"

Asuna is really full of gratitude to Don, but Mikoto Misaka's eyes are a little strange, she wants to tell Asuna, although you are not in danger of life, but also throw away your future man, is this really good?

But then again, that's not Don's real purpose! Thinking of this, Mikoto Misaka stared at Tang En, as if she wanted to see Tang En's true psychology from Tang En's poker face.

"So, it's basically impossible to start with NERvGear?"

"That's right, unless the helmet is destroyed before the player puts it on, once the player activates the helmet, they will have to wait for Akihiko Kayaba to free the player himself. If only Kuroko were here, she would be able to solve this problem perfectly. ā€

"Kuroko? I often hear you mention this name. ā€

Mikoto Misaka was stunned for a moment and said, "Is there one?" Actually, it's nothing to tell you, that's one of my juniors, the ability is spatial movement, and if she's there, she can directly remove NERvGear from the top of the player's head. ā€

"Couldn't that Miss Kuroko come to our world?"

"No, no. All she could say was ...... It's an ordinary person, and he doesn't have this qualification. ā€

Asuna was disappointed when she heard this, it seemed that she had convinced all that Don had said, and now she had begun to enter the role, trying to find a way to help Don and Mikoto Misaka.

"So, since it's impossible to start with NERvGear, let's start with reality."

"Reality?" Asuna asked, confused.

Don nodded, stood up, and said, "Reality, Akihiko Kayaba, the person himself, the ARGUS company that develops the SAO game, these two are breakthroughs. Taking control of Akihiko Kayaba, or managing to destroy ARGUS's servers, could also put an end to this. ā€

Obviously, Don took Nozomi's suggestion and solved the problem in the game after entering the game, completely ignoring it.

"Don't do it casually, if you still kill people casually, I will really break with you."

Mikoto Misaka sent a message to Don with telepathy, and Don responded with a sentence: "I'm not a murderer. ā€

"So, what should I do?" Asuna asked.

Don glanced at Asuna and said, "Let Mai Trin stay with you today, if there is a question from your family, you can say that your classmates are visiting." Mai Trin is also a big lady, and I believe it shouldn't cause you trouble. ā€

"Remove the word "good!"

Asuna looked at the quarrel between the two and smiled, although Tang Meiqin's personality in her eyes was a little hot, but in terms of behavior, she was definitely an elite educated character.

Although this is the first time that a friend will spend the night at her house, she is also a girl, and she is an excellent girl, and I believe that her mother will not refuse.

"Okay, no problem."

"Mai Trin, you still have a mission."

Mikoto Misaka nodded and said, "According to the plan, I will try to attack ARGUS's website and servers on the Internet, trying to hack them directly, and at the same time publish rumors on the Internet to fake the danger of NERvGear." ā€

Tang En shook his head and said, "The former remains the same, the attack on Akihiko Kayaba and ARGUS continues, but later, there is no need to spread rumors, but to directly state the facts." No, it should be said that it is a prophecy. ā€

Mikoto Misaka opened her mouth wide and said, "Do you mean to tell the whole world everything that will happen next?" ā€

"That's right, it's to tell everybody. SwordArtOnline, which was in open beta on September 6th, is a killing game, and all of this is Akihiko Kayaba's murder plan, telling everything about what is going to happen next, the bits and pieces of this two-year event, and the key characters in it. ā€

"This plan is crazy......

"More than that, do what you can to dissect the dangers of NERvGear, prove its true nature, and publish it all online. With all these means to create a huge public opinion, I want to see how this Kayaba Akihiko will deal with all this. ā€

Mikoto Misaka is still shocked by the madness of the spoiler demon Donn, and even Asuna has to admire Donn's courage when she thinks of the possible chaos.

"I support Donne! If Akihiko Kayaba really wants to make a killing game, then what we're doing now is worth it! ā€

There is a subtext that she did not explicitly say, if the riot caused by public opinion caused by Akihiko Kayaba and ARGUS were investigated and punished without finding problems, then a disaster could be avoided.

Mikoto Misaka scratched her hair and telepathized with Don, "It sounds crazy, but to be honest, it seems to be very operable." But, Donn, I always feel ...... It seems like it's going to cause a lot of chaos, and Nozomi didn't ask us to do anything about it, but since she's given us a guideline, her plan makes sense. ā€

"Unfortunately, I am not going to follow her guidelines. So, are you on my side or on her side? ā€

Mikoto Misaka looked at Nozomi and then at Don, but she still chose Don. Although Nozomi helped her save her sister, Mikoto Misaka still stayed away from Nozomi from the bottom of her heart.

"Okay, I see, I'll do it! I'm going to try to attack ARGUS's headquarters while posting a prophecy on the Internet, but that's not very hopeful. Akihiko Kayaba can apply quantum technology on NERvGear, and ARGUS may have stronger defenses inside. ā€

"And remember to forge a household registration certificate for the two of us, and do the rest as much as we can."

"What about you?"

Tang En lifted his glasses, looked at the already dark sky outside, and said, "While it's night, I'll go and test the headquarters of ARGUS to see if I can do something." ā€

"Don't kill anyone!"

"Long-winded."

Don En walked to the window, opened the window, and the whole person floated, and then a breeze rose, and Don En's body suddenly accelerated, like a cannonball, flying out.

"Fly...... Fly away! ā€

Asuna cried out in surprise and hurriedly ran to the windowsill to look out, but there was no longer Donn.

"Good, good! Miss Mai Trin, can you fly too, can you really fly! ā€

"Haha...... This is his patent, and I can only be regarded as jumping high. ā€

"So, can I fly too, my pseudo-artifact: the blood of the earth, can I fly!"

Mikoto Misaka grinned, looked at Asuna who was in a state of rage, and regretted staying with some regrets.
