Chapter 4: Creteus Lightning Man

Moments later, the main control center of TPC's Far East base.

When Lina and the three of them arrived, all the victorious members, including Megumi Juma, had already assembled.

"You're here?"

Simply beckoning to Lina is person, Megumi Juma turned her head and said to Ye Rui, who was still analyzing the data.

"Now that everyone has arrived, tell us about your new discovery!"

Hearing Megumi Juma's voice, Ye Rui, who was still immersed in analysis before, suddenly raised his head and said in a slightly amazed tone.

"Okay!"

"It is now almost certain that the source of the signal for the invasion of TPC's headquarters came from plasma in the air."

Looking around, Norui noticed that everyone except Horii seemed to have a look of understanding and not understanding.

"What do you mean......"

"Instead of using traditional methods to hack into the system terminal, the intruder went over the cables and electrical signals like a ghost and directly manipulated the programs inside the computer?"

Through Lina's explanation in advance, Horii, who had already learned everything about what had passed, asked at the right time.

"yes, that sounds incredible, doesn't it?"

Seeing that everyone still didn't understand much, Ye Rui continued to explain.

"If the general computer is not connected to the Internet, or is in a relatively independent isolated space, it is basically difficult to be invaded."

"Because there is a premise for hacking a computer system, which is that the intruder must use another computer."

"But this time the intruder is very special."

"It is a special electrical signal in itself, which can enter the system terminal at will to tamper with information."

As incredible as it sounds.

However, through several previous restorations and analysis, Yerui is very sure that this is the "truth" of the TPC headquarters system being hacked.

"You mean 'artificial intelligence'?"

Instantly thinking of Tina, who was in charge of the entire Galvin Company, Dagu's mouth opened in surprise.

"No, it's more special than 'artificial intelligence.'"

Shaking his head to correct Dagu's statement, Ye Rui also encountered such a situation for the first time, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in his expression.

"Because the intrusion system is just one of its capabilities, its essence is a mass of plasma in the air."

"Creteus...... Or the Lightning People, that's what I call them. ”

I saw Ye Rui talking while playing his simulation and restoration of the special existence of "Lightning Man" on the big screen.

It was a wave of electromagnetic signals that had no discernible form at all.

However, compared to the normal electromagnetic signal, this electromagnetic signal wave seems to be moving in a certain way.

Especially when stimulated by the outside world, this electromagnetic signal wave turned out to be like a frightened little beast, producing a stress response similar to that of a living being.

"It'...... Is it alive?! ”

Lina's eyes widened as if she couldn't believe her eyes.

"Yes, it's alive, just like us!"

After saying this, Ye Rui continued to add a sentence that was not enough.

"And it doesn't come from outside the Earth, it's life born from the Earth."

I have to admit that Ye Rui's violent remarks silenced everyone present.

"What about the evidence?"

After a short silence, it was finally the more rational Zongfang who spoke.

"The proof is that I found traces of their presence in the ionosphere."

Without making everyone else wait, Ye Rui quickly adjusted the picture on the big screen and raised it to the level of the ionosphere.

In this high-altitude atmosphere of more than 6,000 meters, TPC's satellites have captured countless chaotic electronic signals.

Through the simulation and analysis of the software developed by Yerui, he finally extracted a clump of electromagnetic signal waves that also had biological reactions.

"They are living beings that existed on Earth long before the birth of our human beings......"

"It's a special life form that is very different from the creatures on the surface."

With a slight tap on the keyboard again, Ye Rui quickly zoomed in on the images captured by the satellite.

"If it weren't for this 'call for help', maybe we humans would never have discovered their existence."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

With Ye Rui's further explanation, everyone in the victory team finally understood the existence of the "lightning man".

The first thing that can be determined is that there is indeed a special form of life in the Earth's ionosphere.

They may have been around longer than humans and have extremely high IQs.

Because they are able to understand human language and send "distress signals" to humans in moments of their own crisis.

In this respect alone, the Lightning Man is different from ordinary animals, and even monsters.

Secondly, in addition to these most basic situations, the thinking mode of lightning people is also very different from that of ordinary carbon-based creatures.

This is an extremely special kind of life.

Although they have the concept of "individual", it is more "group consciousness" that governs their behavior.

For example, this call for help is a move made by the lightning people under the command of "group consciousness".

Of course, since there is a concept of "individual", the "group consciousness" of lightning people naturally has various differences.

In order to maximize the unity of the consciousness of all lightning people.

While the lightning people decided to ask humans for help, they also selectively informed them of some of their own circumstances.

This includes the fact that mankind has developed radio technology in the past two hundred years, which has led to the fact that lightning people have become more and more manic.

Especially after the Kelvin company drove the information technology revolution on a global scale.

A considerable number of Lightning individuals have shown signs of rage, which in turn has affected the "group consciousness" of the entire Lightning People.

If this continues, it may not take more than a year for those rampaging lightning people to take the initiative to attack humans.

Even compared to the entire group of the Lightnings, there are only a few individuals who have gone berserk.

But considering the development of human society in the future, more radio waves will inevitably be created.

The "ethnic consciousness" of the lightning people has already generated the idea of nipped the development of mankind in the bud.

It's a pity that before the "ethnic consciousness" of the lightning people could unify the internal differences, a new crisis was born.

It is precisely because of the birth of this new crisis that the lightning people are not allowed to ask for help from the true masters of this planet, humanity.

Because this crisis is not only affecting the lightning people, but also the human society that is vigorously developing information technology.
