Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Visitor
When I arrived at the company, the situation was fine, Takamagahara's president Fujido, and the night clan's Emilia knight chief probably had private matters to discuss, and seeing that there were so many people, they were persuaded to go back, and left a business card hoping to meet as soon as possible.
There are several other companies that make phone appointments that are not urgent, and Ah Qi also arranged an appointment, and the rest of the representatives, Kotaro in the Heaven Group, Ashiya Shikiki in Principal Koga, and Ayato Yamazaki in the Security Bureau are dealing with it first.
The office is quite lively early in the morning, but it is slowly becoming a bit of a normal company. It can be seen that working overtime or something is all false, even if you are so tired that you die of overwork, the boss changes a group of people, the work is still done, and the money is still earned, no problem.
"Oh, you're 01044, welcome to 0791, collector you can take with you at any time, is there anything else I can do to help you?"
Li Pan wiped his face with a handkerchief and entered the office with a smile.
A woman in a formal suit sits at a table, using an ordinary android synthesis, a generalized human genetic synthesized that usually exists on an orbital space station for use by people in the universe.
These are not simple clones, but strengthened people, in order to avoid accidents such as android rebellions, these androids are in a state of cryosleep for a long time, and set up a genetic lock, the use period is generally seven years, and it is forced to be scrapped at the expiration date.
Of course, if the employee on a business trip talks about business secrets, in order to prevent leakage, he will also pay to destroy the android in advance before leaving.
"Hello, 01044, this time I'm in charge of the hunt for the 0791 collector."
01044 got up and shook hands with Li Pan, and a column of android codes appeared in the whites of his eyes, which was captured by Li Pan's prosthetic eye.
It just so happened that Li Fan secretly downloaded the bionic manufacturer promotional e-book of the clothing store with his prosthetic eye, and was about to go to work to fish, so he checked it against the parameter table.
01044 uses a mass-produced fourth-level android produced by Volkskrper National Prosthetic Group, probably for quick customs clearance, after all, the fifth level has to be declared to the Customs and Security Bureau for quarantine, and recently a city in Takamagahara has been smashed down, and it is not very convenient for fifth-level cosmic people to enter the atmosphere.
By the way, the size of the VK National Prosthetic Group is not comparable to that of Takamagahara and the Night Clan. He is the leading heavy industry group of the heavens, a veteran member of the safety committee, and one of the light bionic synthesizers, all of which are dual-use, three to six levels, the whole series can be mass-produced, and the shipment volume is huge, and it is considered to be the top three brands in the market share of the heavenly synthesis market.
And 01044 should be a temporary prosthetic body for the lease of the VK space station, if there is no military modification, the price is 1.5 million, and the landing is estimated to be 2 million.
Look at the configuration with alloy bones, plus maggot protein artificial organs, as well as the standard defense module, subcutaneous bulletproof armor and operating system are VK set of things, although the technical evaluation is slightly outdated, it fell to the fourth level, but it was also designed for the company's employees at the beginning, the stock is huge, all aspects of the attributes are balanced and perfect, there are almost no shortcomings, and it is not a problem to knock over a five-level cyber mercenary modified by himself with his bare hands, and it is a very practical cheap business suit, which highlights stability and high quality, and reliable performance.
However, although the quality of people's things is good, they are sold in sets, and they have to go to a special store when they need to be maintained, and the parts have to be imported, which is very expensive.
Moreover, these androids with a price tag of two or three million, in order to control the cost and compete in price, are all castrated versions of the volume, such as those that will not be implanted with a complete nervous system.
In other words, when you use this synthesizer, although it has obvious excellent performance and superhuman strength, it also does not feel emotional stimulation such as pain, excitement, and pleasure, which is equivalent to using a carbon-based robot.
Even those cheaper tertiary technologies may be literally castrated, not even the sexual organs are pretended, the face and body are all set of templates, and the epidermis is cast with synthetic resin.
To sum up, the mass-produced bionic of a large group like VK is okay to go out and do a job on behalf of each other, but if you want to enjoy life, pay attention to the operation experience, or want to do your own special modification and strengthening, then at least more than three million models must be considered.
01044 sat down again, playing with a glass ball in his left hand, and raised his eyes to look at Li Pan.
"General Manager 0791, do you know what this is?"
"Huh? Souvenirs? Do you want to travel along? In fact, there is nothing to see in the night capital, if there is Yaxing, why don't I invite you to go to the nearby hot springs? ”
Li Pan sat at the table and took a look, this is a landscape glass ball in her hand, which has a liquid crystal image, holographic projection, and a pre-recorded landscape of the plane, which is equivalent to a small map, which can check the transportation system to some landmark buildings and do a brief tour guide.
Watching the ball is a bird's-eye projection of the night capital, probably bought on the space station, a dozen pieces of things sell you for 2,000, deceive tourists.
01044 shook his head and held up the glass ball with four fingers,
"It's a 'prophecy.'"
Li Pan blinked, and also noticed that there was a light rising from 01044's fingertips, and then looked into the sphere, only to see that in just a few seconds, the illusion of the night capital in the sphere had undergone earth-shaking changes.
First there was a flash of bright light, then the atmosphere quickly crumbled and corrupted, and in the blink of an eye it melted from the urban jungle into a twisted ruin, the alloy city of steel was washed away like pieces of paper by burning dust, red flesh burst out of the earth, sulfuric acid and blood rained down on the earth, and the filthy sea climbed over the embankment like a dark beast over the wall, swallowing everything.
01044 then placed the glass ball on the table, let go of her hand, and the image of the night capital in the glass ball returned to normal, and she drew it with her hand.
"It's probably just a little bit, just a little bit, everything is going to be messed up, and I actually pulled you back, I don't know what to say, so I'll give you a round of applause."
Then she snapped perfunctorily twice.
Li Pan was speechless for a while,
"Is it really going to be that serious? But I feel that the apostle of the 'Golden Buddha' is quite weak, so I just cleaned it up?
And even if Sky City is smashed down, the Night City should also have a defense system, so it will kill and blow up a few suburbs, right? ”
01044 Look at him,
"Can you pick up the apostles at your fingertips...... It's just that I'm only on a temporary business trip, so I'm not qualified to make irresponsible ......."
Li Pan said, don't be polite, please.
So 01044 cocked Erlang's legs,
"Well, it is true that when the apostles of some monsters complete their descent, they will cause the entire plane to break through the rule level, and the chain will cause a series of monsters to come on a rampage, but extinction of this scale is still rare.
So I suggest that you should investigate all the reasons in depth, and there may be something else in the city.
My prophecy will be valid for seven days, so I will leave it for you as a memento and reference. ”
Li Pan picked up the glass ball and looked at it, but still nodded to express his gratitude.
So 01044 took out a pen and notepad from the formal suit, wrote a note and tore it to Li Pan.
"Let's get down to business, since the Collector has appeared and tried to acquire monsters, it means that they have established a 'site' on their own plane.
Well, you can understand the 'site' as the company's warehouse, and my task is to put them to the end, and I need to interrogate the ACA members you have captured, search for the location of the collector site of the plane, can you provide the materials for these rituals? ”
Li Pan looked at the note and frowned,
"I'm sorry, your handwriting is a little sloppy, I can't read a word except for a hundred temporary workers, can you use the lingua franca......"
01044 nodded and continued to brush and write,
"I understand, don't care, if you don't understand, it just means that you don't have these things in your inventory, then I'll change the ceremony."
Li Pan, "Hmm...... So, I'm all wasted, can I minimize the wear and tear of temporary workers to single digits? ”
The two sides wrote and read one by one, and finally talked for half an hour before reaching a consensus.
01044 will withdraw some monsters and sub-projects from the inventory of the monster company, and Li Pan sends Rama and Lao Liu from the logistics department to assist her in carrying out the task.
Of course, Li Pan and 01044 emphasized that these two people are not used as temporary consumables for her, please treat them as regular employees.
01044 Although she was puzzled by Li Pan's management style, since the local general manager asked for it, and she could help when the compromise was necessary, she couldn't expand the recruitment of people, so she agreed.
01044 is negotiated here for the time being, and the second thing is the matter of the Security Bureau.
"Manager, this is the chief of the four places."
Yamazaki nodded and brought in two old men, an old Mediterranean man, followed by a male bodyguard with bearded and glasses, both of whom were typical bureaucrats, typical old Orientals, with calm faces and mourning.
Everywhere, no wonder he is so stammering, isn't this his top boss.
"Oh, fortunately, how can I help you?"
"Mr. Li, thanks to your assistance this time, we have been able to stop the crisis in the Night Capital, and please allow me to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Security Bureau."
"You're welcome, enough has been said about the commendation and publicity of NCHK, my ears are calloused when it is looped everywhere, and the bounty has also been settled, and there is any new business, you just have to order."
The director didn't seem to be in a good mood, and he didn't bother to continue to be polite.
"Then let's put it bluntly, we are responsible for tracking down the Akatengu terrorist organization everywhere. This time, I investigated the login address of the hacker's brain, and found that when you broke into the Heaven web server, you had direct contact with the Red Tengu hacker, right? ”
Li Pan spread his hands, "Isn't it, I almost burned my head." ”
The director of the fourth division pointed to the figure-eight glasses beside him,
"This is a technician from our bureau, if it's convenient, can you let us investigate on the spot and track down the hacking information of the Akatengu.
We understand that this request is presumptuous and may involve your privacy, so you can ask your company's technical support to be present to supervise it. ”
Oh, is it going to be directly linked to his chip to tune the data? It's a bit embarrassing, let the hackers of the Security Bureau burrow into their brains and search, it's not that the bottoms are all turned over!
Not to mention cockroaches, handkerchiefs, transformations, cans, and those things, and people with normal minds can't explain it, if people ask, what does it mean to download so many ancient Chinese dictionaries, how can he answer?
Li Pan directly took the company out as a shield,
"Forgive me for refusing, after all, I am the acting manager of our company, and I cannot provide you with a lot of trade secrets without the permission of the headquarters."
The four chiefs immediately made a stinky face,
"I understand Your Majesty's concerns, but this attack on the Night City has posed a major security concern, and I hope that you will cooperate with the investigation. If necessary, I can apply for a search warrant. ”
Li Pan smiled,
"The major safety hazard is not caused by me, so please contact you."
Squinting around,
"Yes. Your Excellency hasn't made a record yet, so call your legal counsel and go back to the bureau with me to assist in the investigation. ”
Li Pan's smile did not change,
"Oh, you really want to torture me? By the way, does the Security Bureau have pork chop rice? ”
Yamazaki saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly jumped out of the circle,
"Boss, boss, do you think this will work, you can transcribe the memory fragments at that time into Mewtwo, and after the company's headquarters reviews and approves, the data will be provided to the bureau for investigation.
Director, I happened to be at the scene, so I won't bother our manager by writing down this little thing, and I'll cooperate. ”
Hey, you're in ambush here, you're elbowing out...... Well, in fact, it's also a turning in?
Li Pan glanced at him with a smile,
"That's right...... It's okay to let Yamazaki-kun help, two from the Security Bureau? ”
looked around to see that Li Pan's oil and salt did not enter, and glanced sideways at Yamazaki.
"Okay, excuse me."
In this way, the Security Bureau is also a simple way to play.
Then there are the lawyers who represent the Paradise Group.
There's no need for him to talk nonsense here, Kotaro has already talked to the lawyer first, and basically figured out the meaning of the other person's intentions.
Li Pan thought that the other party was going to be fined at first, but Kotaro said that they were here to send money.
Well, you heard it right, Li Pan broke through Sky City and threw it into the sea, and the Heaven Group had to send him money......
Seeing that Li Pan was still suspicious, Kotaro leaned over and whispered a few words,
"The keys to heaven are in your hands, boss."
It was still necessary for the intelligence chief to explain, and Li Pan suddenly realized.
For a heavenly enterprise like the Heaven Group, Sky City is actually nothing, originally this is an asset that was bought cheaply in another world by taking advantage of the victory of the war, and it fell into the sea and was damaged, although it is a pity, but it can still be used if it is repaired, and it will not hurt the muscles and bones.
And even the Akatengu's hackers are quite powerful, breaking through Sky City's system, but it's just the driving system. Sub-projects like the automatic defense system, which are still operating normally in essence, with the main purpose of protecting the lives and property of VIP customers, have not really been seized by the Akatengu.
Otherwise, not to mention the Security Bureau's head is not enough to send, just activating Sky City's defensive weapons and firing two cannons at the Night City is enough for everyone to drink a pot, where can you smash the entire Sky City down.
However, Eighteen was really assisted by Li Pan, and used the big snake system to penetrate the ICE firewall of Heaven from the outside.
No matter how strong the firewall is, once it is broken by hackers, it will not be repaired.
If there is a loophole, there will be countless loopholes, and if there is a backdoor, there will be countless backdoors, and you never know how many puppets are secretly installed when someone hacks in.
And for a really powerful hacker, once thoroughly analyzed and mastered the core source code of the other party's ICE security protocol, not to mention a Sky City, even if the ICE of the entire Heaven Group is equivalent to mastering the secret passage back door, and the assets of the Heaven Group in the heavens are equivalent to being undefended!
So even under the pressure of the 0791 Security Bureau and the Night Clan, the Paradise Group bit a sentence and did not hand over the access control.
But now, the walls of heaven have been broken.
And the 'keys to heaven' are in the hands of the Eighteen.
Then how did you find Li Pan's head? Isn't eighteen an asset of the company?
Well, because the monster company had expected this situation for a long time, they hid behind the scenes, and the pot was let Li Pan top.
However, the eighteenth brain computer is online for online certification, and it is also guaranteed by Li Pan's citizen ID card, so now I am afraid that the entire deep web knows that Panlong Construction Co., Ltd., under the hands of President Li Pan, there is a great genius hacker who can break the firewall of a heavenly company like the Heaven Group!
Heaven is naturally even clearer, don't people feel that they have invited a lawyer to come over to negotiate.
Kotaro presented the preliminary agreement negotiated between the two parties to Li Pan,
"Paradise Group will completely replace its network security partners and rebuild the ICE firewall system, but it will take time.
During this period, Heaven will sign an NDA confidentiality agreement with Panlong Construction, requiring that system vulnerabilities shall not be disclosed and Paradise's private servers shall not be invaded.
If it agrees to sign the agreement, Paradise will inject $35 million into the Night Capital Development and Investment Fund, and hire Beaulong Construction to outsource its technology and provide cybersecurity consultants to assist in patching vulnerabilities.
If you breach the contract, it will be considered a breach of contract at the highest level, and your citizenship will be revoked by the security system. ”
"! Let him wait! I'll make a call! ”
Li Pan's head is simply big.
Oh yes, can you not sign this! People are looking at the face of the monster company, give him a chance to salute first and then soldier, okay! He said that if he didn't sign it, the special forces over there would be sent over!
But can you really sign it?
Not to mention that once signed, if something happens to the heavens, it may lead to the revocation of Li Pan's legal citizenship, and the guys who are staring at the 'key to heaven' may also find him!
But can he manage the bear child of eighteen? Yes, the eighteenth certificate is guaranteed by him, but the Baqi Snake is the company's equipment! Without the permission of the company and the support of the big snake, eighteen is just a brain left, okay!
"Crooked? Eighteen, you saw the agreement, what do you think? ”
Eighteen, "Oh. ”
"You're just??"
Eighteen, "Sign, in fact, their hackers fought with us yesterday, that's it, anyway, I also left the back door, it's a big deal." With tens of thousands of trillions of assets, we only have a few dollars, can we die with us? ”
"Damn! Well? Got it?? ”
Eighteen, "Oh, I was chatting with the hacker from the 01 technical department, and Heaven's brain machine hacked in. But don't worry, we've burned it out. ”
Damn, it turned out to be a soldier before a salute......
"By the way, boss, I heard that the head office is going to upgrade my equipment, and now I'm looking for a communication company to customize the satellite, you can sign it, the heaven of the province will hit the idea of my host."
Comsat? The big snake is not enough, do you still have to upload the brain computer to space and make UIS to upload intelligent satellites? Isn't that connected to the QVN network? It's a few hundred million small, right? The company is really willing......
It seems that the one who captured Sky City this time and got the most rewards was actually eighteen.
