Mimic armor and visual mimicry, although similar in name, are not the same thing.

Visual mimicry is the use of projection devices to create an illusion.

Mimic armor, on the other hand, is a real thing, simply put, it is a camouflage blanket composed of countless miniature smart probes with screens attached to materials that isolate infrared signal sources.

These miniature probes will capture images in different directions through changes in the environment, and image themselves to make the host "stealth" by simulating the environment.

Theoretically, the more lenses and cameras there are on the same piece of mimic armor, the more realistic the details will be, and the better the camouflage will be.

It's easy to say, but even if these probes are reduced by one micron, it is a breakthrough and challenge for the production technology, and it is quite difficult to make these independent micro probes neatly arranged together and carry out data exchange, because among hundreds of thousands, or even millions of probes, even if only a few hundred probes have problems, it is easy to make the camouflage fall short.

The companies that can manufacture this kind of equipment in the world can be counted on one hand, and the waste rate is as high as 99.7%, and the average production of 1,000 blankets is only three.

When mimic armor is destroyed by external forces, it has almost no defensive power, and factors such as friction and light, dust and so on will affect its use effect.

Because it is easy to be damaged and cannot be repaired, mimic armor, an expensive equipment, has a very low use rate in actual combat, but as a camouflage for the team to break in, the effect is surprisingly good, so it is also favored by major secret agencies and private detectives.

Four night-blending figures bypassed the sentries and managed to sneak into the base, hiding behind a pile of gasoline drums.

Shen Jiahong opened the visual mimicry, turned on the night vision function of the mechanical eye and began to record the camp information, and pointed to a few wires set up with branches in front of him: "Local lines, they are probably not connected to the external network here." ”

The black hat on one side took out the kit he had with him: "I can try hacking." ”

"There's no need, cyber intrusion is a game game, and we don't have the need to play now, if we are caught by their Bloom filter, things will be in trouble."

Wu Mian waved his hand lightly: "Wait a minute, you will stay here, once the two sides start a war, paralyze their network in the shortest possible time." ”

"Yes!"

The other three continued their search and found nothing special about the camp, at least as it seemed.

Many of the tents in front of them were snoring, and the guards outside were doing their duty, but they were equipped with a mess of equipment, and they didn't even see a single energy weapon.

Wu Mian had a worry, which arose after he read Zhang Xingxian's transcript.

Zhang Xingxian, as the agent of the Spirit Sect, had come here to negotiate with them before, and the blindfolded blindfold had slipped off once, and his understanding of this place also came from those few seconds.

According to Zhang Xingxian's confession, he saw a large machine with unknown function in the base of the Spirit Sect, and also saw the existence of suspected synths.

Wu Mian's attention was mainly focused on the latter point.

He was worried that these synths were from the Resistance, and he was even more afraid that there would be something to do between the Spirit Order and the Resistance.

His job is to fight synths, and the Resistance is a key target, even if he accidentally becomes friends with Nanci, it will not affect his opinion of the Resistance.

The ambush in Shangzhou Port has caused heavy casualties to the worker bee organization, Wu Mian comforted himself while comforting himself, even if this place has something to do with the rebels, there is a high probability that the worker bees will not appear, and at the same time he is afraid that Nan Ci will really come here, otherwise even if he is willing to release water, the people in the three places will definitely not be wine bags and rice bags.

Shen Jiahong used his electronic eye to capture the scene of the camp, and the intracranial processor had already made a complete three-dimensional composition: "Brother Jiu, we can withdraw." ”

"You go grab a tongue and come back, I'll wait for you in the back."

Wu Mian still decided to figure out the details of this place before he started, put on the mimic armor again, and retreated into the woods behind.

Dozens of seconds later, Shen Jiahong took a middle-aged white man hostage and came to Wu Mian's side: "The people inside are not wearing military uniforms, and they can't see the rank, this guy is relatively old, like an official." Examined, a natural person. ”

Wu Mian glanced at the middle-aged man whose chin was removed, touched his palm again, and found that this person did not have a gun callus in his hand, and put the knife against his neck: "Answer my question, is it acceptable to exchange your own life?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded busily.

Wu Mian grabbed the middle-aged chin, reset his dislocated chin with his strength, and got straight to the point: "Your identity." ”

The middle-aged man seems to be a life-saving master, and his attitude is positive: "Marjorie Claude, I am a network engineer, you can call me Marjorie." ”

Wu Mian continued to ask, "What is the institution of your camp?" ”

Marjorie shook his head: "I don't know, I'm not from their house, I'm just an external engineer who helps them build a network to connect to machinery." ”

"Aren't these guys in the robbery, kidnapping, and drug business? Why is it involved in the network and industry again? Now these days, are even criminals so involuted? Shen Jiahong heard that the Spirit Sect actually had other businesses, and he felt very surprised: "What kind of machinery are you talking about?" ”

"Manufacturing terminals, these people say they're going to install a lot of manufacturing terminals, and they need to avoid the coalition government's network, and what I'm going to do is use the satellites that they've provided to build a new network that can circumvent the coalition government's oversight and use it to connect these manufacturing terminals together."

Marjorie paused: "I was hired by them with a high salary, these people are very obedient, they will pay my salary into my designated account every day, but I am forbidden to contact the outside world. My job is just to build an online network, and I don't know what products their terminals are going to make. ”

Wu Mian digested the information provided by Marjorie, and also sorted out his thoughts: "Where do these people come from, and how do they contact you?" ”

"I'm from the northern state, I was introduced by an intermediary, I thought it was a normal job in an Internet company, but I didn't expect to come to this deep mountain and old forest, and live a prison-like life, for half a month, I was not even allowed to talk to my wife and daughter."

Marjorie complained about the inhumanity of the Spirit Order, and also answered Wu Mian's question: "Although I am a nerd, I can also see that something is wrong here, I never inquire about their affairs, and these people will not take the initiative to mention it to me, it is a simple employment relationship between us, nothing more." ”
