Chapter 35: The Lonely

In the corridor of the Arasaka Tower's scientific research department, Arasaka Yue had just finished a meeting and was about to return to his office.

Suddenly, I received a communication request.

"Michiko-sama?"

Arasaka hurriedly returned to his office and connected to Michiko's communication.

A virtual image of a woman appears on the table, shimmering with a faint blue point of light.

"Michiko-sama, do you have any new instructions?"

Michiko said with a serious expression: "Yue, Oda Kiyoji's guy has already started to do it, and three informants under my hands have been executed by him. ”

"I'll take care of it, don't worry. You must have heard about military technology the day before yesterday, do we need to do something? ”

"I'm here to tell you about this this time, I think ZERO may be our potential ally, I want you to reach out to them and learn more about them."

"Didn't you hear anything from the military technology?"

Michiko shook her head; "No, I have contacted them, but their reply is under investigation. So I'd like you to take care of this, and it's best to get in touch with them before you get in touch with military technology. ”

"Yes, I won't let you down."

When Michiko hung up the communication, Arasaka Yue felt a little helpless and sighed.

Suddenly, he thought of a person in his mind, and immediately dialed his number.

"Alan, where are you now, come to my office at once."

An hour later.

Alan rushed to Arasaka Yue's office in a hurry; "What's wrong, call me here in such a hurry."

"You've probably heard the rumors of the Black Wardens, they seem to have made some kind of unknown deal with military technology, and Michiko-sama hopes to contact ZERO and form an alliance with him if she can. Do you have any good solutions, I want to hear your advice. ”

"Heh, this woman seems to want to use me as a tool again, but this time it's your luck, because I'm the ZERO you've been looking for." Alan smiled, and couldn't help but muttered to himself.

"Ahem, it's not that easy to find ZERO, so it will take some time."

"How long will you take."

Alan touched his chin and pondered, thought and thought about it, and finally decided. "Well, give me three days, and I'll find him."

"Are you sure? Is three days enough? Otherwise, I'll add two more days to you," Arasaka Tsuki had a skeptical look on her face.

"Whatever you want, five days is fine." Alan looked disapproving, clasping his hands around his chest.

After all, as long as you want, you can find someone at any time, and Arasaka Yue must not be able to think of it if she wants to break the sky, and the ZERO she is looking for is me.

Looking at Alan's attitude, Arasaka Yue couldn't help but feel sorry, he had already tried his best to give him another step, and he really didn't realize it at all.

"If nothing else, I'll go first." Alan turned and waved.

"No."

Ailan went straight into the elevator after going out, and then a phone call came directly.

"Rhaenys, what's wrong?"

"Are you having a memory problem, little Ilan! Have you forgotten what you asked me about last week? Implant surgery! ”

"Oooh! That's right, you see my memory, haven't I been busy lately, and I forgot about it all of a sudden, I'm sorry. ”

"So you're not here today."

"Everything I told you was ready? No way!? ”

"You don't look at who you're asking for, stinky boy. But you kid is really going to give me problems, you look at what you want, each one is more difficult than the other. ”

"Camilo RAM Manager, Self ICE, Optical Camouflage Cortex....... The most outrageous thing is the access warehouse of the network monitoring network drive type 5, which is not easy to find on the black market. ”

"That's why I asked you, that's why you have the ability, right?"

"Come on, you, don't give me rainbow farts, I want to tell you that I've got it, but the operation shouldn't be done today, my assistant drank Dafa last night, and now I can't save personnel, I don't want to have a medical accident." So if you're not in a hurry, make an appointment for another time. ”

"It's okay, I'll figure out how to handle the assistant's affairs, you just need to do the surgery. I'll look for you at night. ”

"OK, you'd better be on time and don't let me go, or I'll sell these implants as second-hand."

"Don't worry, you'll be on time."

There are 6 levels of known cyber hacking devices on the market, ranging from 0 to 5.

Old-fashioned portable cyber panels, classified as Class 0, were popular in the 20s of the 21st century and were regarded as obsolete by most Internet players. They are guaranteed to leave some advantages, they can be upgraded for improved performance, have a medium data conversion rate, benefit portability, and do not need to be too tiring for network operators to use, however, manual operation can lengthen reaction times and severely limit the usefulness of the device.

Level 1; The simplest modern hacking is via a personal cable, an advanced cyber component that allows the netwalker's computer system to give commands without the use of external devices. The personal cable allows you to connect the device via an interface and perform simple operation. Illegal Trojans can give hackers access to gates, elevators, vehicles, computers, and utility bots. The personal cable was invented for simple data upload and download, so you can effortlessly hack a door or copy your ex's diary, but you can't use it to connect to cyberspace because its throughput is too small. The main advantages of this method of connection are portability and stealth, as personal cables are a common cyber component, and Trojans are difficult to detect without thorough scanning.

Level 2 devices are more dangerous to use, but also more effective, as hackers use a personal interface to operate and use some sort of cyber eyepiece (usually a modified Mewtwo Experience helmet) to perceive and connect to the network in 3D. This method allows users to deeply connect to the network and obtain higher data throughput, but the consumption of the flesh also increases exponentially. The neurological system will heat up to a near-death-threatening level of body temperature. This is where the external cooling concept comes in. The simplest and most common cooling solution used by amateur hackers is to fill a bathtub with ice cubes and install a modulated air conditioner, or simply modify a few refrigerators. These methods are simple and brutal, and are mostly used by low-level gangs and reckless teenagers.

Level 3 devices are usually used by some professional hackers on the streets. Functionally similar to Level 2 devices, but improved in all respects. The most typical example is a high-capacity neural interface that connects directly to the occipital lobe (the lobe at the very end of the cerebral hemisphere), which improves performance and speeds up data transfer. The matching hacker jumpsuit is responsible for heat dissipation, and the transmission rate of this neural interface is ridiculously high, and without the cooling device, the user's blood will boil in a matter of minutes.

To use this level of equipment, a hacking base station is required. The heart of the base station is a special chair (sometimes replaced by a modified dental recliner or massage chair) that allows hackers to cope with long periods of operation in a comfortable position without hindering the transmission of data. Basic surveillance systems, medical systems, and important monitoring equipment are also required for any professional hacker base station. With the amenities in place, a skilled hacker can collect data from the deep web, operate and control an entire building's systems, and even confront powerful corporate hackers.

Level 4 gear is usually designed for prominent specialists, most of whom are employed by mega-corporations. Each component is the latest, highest-end version on the market. The hackers who use these devices have the entire server behind them, and their base stations also have state-of-the-art supporting facilities – including life support systems, cryoconstant systems, blood cooling systems, and other facilities to ensure that their work runs smoothly. These hackers often operate in small groups and can defend their own employee systems and data while attacking hostile companies.

A Level 5 cyber hacking device may not be as stunning as a Level 4 hacking base station with luxurious ancillary equipment. In some cases, they can be mistaken for Level 1 devices, as their users appear to be only slightly stronger than civilians. The hackers were "smarter" by injecting some nerve agents into the back of their heads and wearing fashionable and grotesque jackets. The first impression is completely misleading, that the Level 5 device is the exclusive possession of the notorious cyber surveillance agents, whose job is to fight the mutinous hackers and deal with the intrusion of the runaway AI. With this level of hardware, there is no need for a hacking base station at all to achieve the same performance and data transfer as Level 4. On top of that, users of Level 5 devices can remain fully mobile and perceive everything around them, which allows them to remotely access cyberspace within a certain range, directly attack enemy hackers in real or cyberspace, and counter any unauthorized cyber interference.

In order to cope with the upcoming war in the future, Alan plans to carry out high-intensity modifications to his body, the most important of which is the implant modification in hacking technology. At present, relying on the self-made Black Rain network access warehouse, it can cope with the general situation, but if it is not upgraded, it will be dwarfed by the time it comes to Arasaka's hacker experts or network monitoring agents, even if you are a genius, the hardware is not up to standard.

And the side effects of the monthly reading,The burden on the current flesh and blood is still relatively large,With the current physical condition,Use it at most twice a day,If it is exceeded,Fainting and shock,Brain death。

"Hey, is Ryoko free? I need you to do me a favor now........ Okay, I'll pick you up right away, see you later. ”

β€”β€”

In a sea of people

Do you dare to isolate yourself from the world

Stand alone

Let the people around you make a fuss

But you don't care

The cold shoulder

Aloneness

Like a flower in a desolate desert

I don't want to spit out into the breeze.

Dingβ€”β€”! The elevator doors slowly open to the sides.

Alan straightened his dress and tie, and after a long sigh of relief, quietly stepped out of the elevator, just like usual.
