Chapter 602: But I can cheat
When he came to the World of Eden again, Lao Jiang was already familiar with the place.
This world is still the same as before, peaceful and tranquil, and just staying in it and watching this peaceful world can make people feel relaxed and happy. But it can no longer attract Lao Jiang's attention.
What’s the point of fake things, no matter how beautiful they are?
It’s not a paper wife, right?
Old Jiang didn't even bother to take a second look at the beautiful scenery. He rushed into Old Earl's office and, without saying a word, told him briefly about his discovery of the wasteland world.
"It is now basically certain that there are mechanical lives hidden in the paradise space built by the wastelanders. I want to capture them and torture them to extract information about the mysterious mechanical civilization."
Jiang Xia sat on Old Earl's desk and said to the interstellar affairs officer who was frowning in thought:
“When it comes to playing with data, who is better than you Eden people?
Considering the computing power of the Navigation Center, which can construct a super-large virtual world for billions of people to use, a few mechanical lives hiding their heads and tails are totally not enough.
But speaking of it, these wastelanders are quite similar to you Eden people.
After the apocalypse, they all chose to build a virtual world outside of the cold reality to survive."
"Hey, be polite."
Old Earl glared at Old Jiang and said:
"They are trying to survive and escape, but we are not. We are forced to do this. The two seem the same, but their starting points are completely different, okay?"
"I am a vulgar person. You have to understand that I usually like to look at the surface of things and don't pay much attention to the beauty of the soul."
Lao Jiang laughed and said:
"But I suddenly had an idea. You said that the paradise in the wasteland was maintained by the big head of the robot.
They are like small navigation centers. Do you think it is possible to collect those things and take them to other worlds to build devices like navigation centers?"
"What do you want to do?"
Hearing Lao Jiang's idea, Earl immediately stood up and warned:
"Put away your dangerous thoughts!
Before you obtain complete soul coding and consciousness uploading technology, doing these things will only create a large group of internet-addicted losers like the wasteland.
Mind uploading is a very delicate process.
The reason why the wastelanders got themselves into that state was not only due to the malicious guidance of the mechanical life forms, but also largely because their method of accessing the Elysium was too rough.
This brutal method interfered with their conscious cognition and caused them to have a terrible confusion between reality and virtuality..."
"Don't worry, don't worry. I know nothing about data technology. I'm a real layman. I know these problems but I can't understand them. Earl, you don't have to remind me again and again."
Old Jiang waved his hands in a mean manner and said to Old Earl who felt something was wrong:
"But I can't understand it, and I don't have a solution to the problem, but you Eden people have it. A complete set of consciousness uploading technology tools, and even soul coding for all people.
The technology that poor Emma longed for but could not get has now become popular among you.
As comrades-in-arms who are saving civilization and fighting against the Lord of the Wasteland, I think the Eden people are also willing to share this technology with me, right? It's not a big killer like the antimatter cannon..."
"These two technologies are much more dangerous than the antimatter cannon."
Old Earl refuted righteously:
"Antimatter cannons can only achieve physical destruction of civilization, but soul coding, a forbidden technology, can easily break the backbone of a world.
It can allow you to have countless slave cannon fodder overnight, or it can twist the spirit of an entire race into a garbage dump overnight.
Jiang, we are friends, there is no doubt about that.
But if I were to hand this technology over to you, I’d be really afraid of what you’d do with it…”
"Well, I didn't take it for free."
Boss Jiang curled his lips and said:
“I paid for it.
The Red Moon Realm and the Wasteland are completely open to the Eden people for the third phase of large-scale immigration. As long as the problem of the Heart of the World is solved in the MAGA world, I will also assist you in large-scale immigration.
I just happened to have a small world in my hands.
Very small.
The entire world is only as big as a county, but the environment is very good, with absolute 5A-level living conditions.
When I discover a livable world, I will share it with you as soon as possible.
Is this price enough? "
"Um……"
Old Earl really wanted to refuse outright the complacent old Jiang in front of him, who seemed to have him in his arms, but the bad guy offered too much and he found it difficult to weigh the pros and cons for a moment.
A few minutes later, Old Earl made the final decision:
"I can give you the technology, but every time you use it, you must be supervised by the Eden people to prevent you from causing a terrible humanitarian disaster. There is not much life left in this star group.
Each one is extremely valuable.
You may not care about having blood on your hands, but the Edenites have their own views. "
"Your damn sense of morality is really troublesome."
Lao Jiang snorted and said:
"Okay, I accept it. A little supervision is good, so that I won't get into trouble if my dark thoughts can't be controlled. Then, give me an external node device for the navigation center.
I'll take it back and capture those mechanical lives!
Do you want it?
I'll give one to you for research. Of course, the research results must be shared."
"Okay, I'll immediately have the center allocate computing power to the data project research lab."
This time, Old Earl agreed readily.
Obviously, he was also very interested in these mysterious mechanical invaders.
A few minutes later, a device the size of a small suitcase was delivered to Lao Jiang, and Old Earl told him:
"This is an external workbench for the Navigation Center. There is a star data link in the wasteland death desert to support data exchange. You connect it to the hardware equipment in the Elysium Space, and the tracking and capture program of the center will start working.
It is a fool-proof operation and does not require any manipulation on your part.
We also equipped you with a hard drive specifically for imprisoning data streams. After being captured, they will be locked in it. But we don't know what the data form of mechanical life is.
I'm not sure whether this highest level of security equipment can trap them.
So I suggest you use the most original method and preserve them.”
"Physically disconnected?"
Old Jiang immediately understood, made an OK gesture to Old Earl, turned around and jumped into the world channel, and the next moment he returned to the secret base under the Tower of Immortality.
"Huh? Why is he here too?"
As soon as Jiang Xia came over, he saw Rogue, who was guarding the place with a pulse rifle, and Tokamak, who was wearing a casual suit, lying on a chair next to the disassembled robot head.
He used a physical connection to put a helmet that looked very much like a brain wave enhancer on his head, with colorful lights flashing on it.
As for the Tokamak itself, it will appear to be sleeping with its eyes closed.
"He said he was going to try to track down the mechanical life."
Roger said helplessly:
"I can't stop him. Even if I kick him out, he can still upload his consciousness to Elysium using a wireless connection. This guy is a genius, boss.
He had come to the wasteland before to observe our Elysium plug-in device, and after returning, he made an upgraded version for himself.
Since we can’t stop him anyway, let him try.”
"He can't."
Old Jiang snorted leisurely, placed his briefcase on the workbench, took out a data cable, and connected it to the operating robot head.
The next moment, a green light lit up on the briefcase-shaped workstation, indicating that the navigation center had started working.
At the same time, in the paradise space.
Because the robot head that had been powered off has now been restarted, the virtual area of Free Citizen City that was destroyed by physical isolation has also been rebuilt.
However, due to the war in the outside cities, this virtual city is now quiet and deserted.
"Buzz"
A blue ball of data light was formed in the form of a mosaic of pixel blocks at the location of the Tower of Immortality. As the powerful navigation center began to run the program, the ball of light also changed rapidly.
It is sculpted as a lithe blue humanoid figure, very similar to Dr. Manhattan's form.
After entering this virtual area, the Central looked around in a very humane way, and a trace of contempt flashed in his blue eyes, probably because he was disdainful of the crude construction method of Paradise Space.
"Search program started."
The central processing unit spoke softly, and as it squatted down , it stretched out its hand and placed it on the ground of the virtual world. The next moment, horrifying data streams from the entire wasteland and several Elysium space partitions were traversed by the powerful central processing unit program.
Among the data streams uploaded by tens of millions of wasteland life consciousnesses, the center quickly found seven unique data bodies.
They were cleverly disguised and blended into the consciousness of the wastelanders, just like the kings who ruled the virtual world, shuttling back and forth between different world levels.
One of them was moving very quickly, seemingly trying to avoid another pursuer.
"Um?"
The Central made a snorting sound of confusion.
Its data body suddenly disappeared from the spot. When it reappeared, it had crossed the seventeen levels of world classification and jumped from the outermost surface of the world into the deep world of paradise space.
There are very few wastelanders here, and the rules of the game are completely different from those in ordinary paradise.
In a dim medieval city, two aircraft are flying rapidly across the sky. The one in front is full of futuristic technology, while the one behind is created by the consciousness of the Tokamak with stolen authority.
Whether in speed or flexibility, it is far inferior to the mechanical life in front of it.
"We're about to lose them. These guys are so difficult to deal with!"
The superhero's consciousness cursed unwillingly. He had clearly captured the strange mechanical life signal, but was unable to do so due to hardware problems.
For a smart man who is good at this and very confident to the point of being conceited, this scene was so embarrassing that he wanted to commit suicide.
"Stupid carbon-based creature! Your intelligence is as ugly as your genitals, how pathetic!"
The mechanical life that was fleeing deeper into the virtual world mercilessly mocked and ridiculed the pursuers behind it.
Today's pursuit came out of nowhere, and they couldn't understand why their perfect camouflage, which had lasted for decades, suddenly became ineffective.
But one thing is certain, Elysium is no longer safe.
Maybe they should abandon this virtual world and rebuild a place for them to hide. Alas, in this damn world, they can't contact their home planet.
Unable to go home, they can only hide and entertain themselves in this way. It's really miserable.
However, the carbon-based life behind him was quite powerful. Less than ten minutes after entering the paradise space, he captured its signal characteristics, which was considered a good intelligence.
hehe……
The mechanical life gave a smile of superiority, a smile of a superior human looking down upon an inferior beast.
Unfortunately, the next moment, joy turned into sorrow.
"Bang"
The blue navigation center data body descended from the sky and slammed into the data body of the high-speed flying mechanical life with a bang, just like a soldier standing in front of an aircraft.
The Central tilted his head and looked at the mechanical life that suddenly braked in front of him.
"Hello, my name is Navigator. In terms of data model construction, I am three levels higher than you. Using my own classification system, I belong to the twelfth level of intelligence, and you...
Inferior ninth-level intelligence!"
During the cold self-introduction, the Central reached out and grabbed the data stream that wanted to escape, and threw it away casually. It was like a meteor thrown out of the world.
Amidst the howling, it fell with a bang into the operating prison hard drive.
"drop"
The piercing sound made Lao Jiang turn around and reach out to pull out a black USB-disk-like security device from the central workstation.
Boss Jiang laughed triumphantly and reached out his hand to flick at the black device.
He said:
"Hello, Cybertronians. Your technology is so advanced. Luckily, I know how to cheat... otherwise I would be embarrassed by you."
