Advanced Information Fog
From an outsider's perspective, Virus Repository 0 is a very secretive and dangerous place.
But for the real virus, this sub-database is as familiar as home.
A vast amount of "blank paper" covered the surface of the desert, and various viruses began to rage. "Remote Trojans" began to manipulate the "data aggregates" and burrow into the immature cyber killer. "Rogue software" began to absorb "sand grains," and large areas of sand dunes were cleared away. "System vulnerabilities" even caused the sand layer to sink. Several "astronauts" were caught off guard and stepped into empty space, and were directly sucked in. In just a few seconds, the data markers disappeared.
"What are you trying to do??" one of the 'astronauts' shouted angrily.
The senior engineer didn't speak, his expression unusually serious. He didn't open his mouth, but instead raised his chin.
Looking in his direction, one sees an indescribable scene: thousands of skinless arms with pink gums and clicking white teeth, and cold, piercing eyes peering around. Within each eye's pupil are half-open doors, on which countless viruses slither.
[Due to interference from 'Virus Database 0', your Intelligence decreases by 1 point per second]
[Due to interference from 'Virus Database 0', your perception is decreasing by 2 points per second]
[When your perception and intelligence decline to a certain level, you will automatically enter Database 0.]
When you open the gates of hell, you should also be aware that behind those gates are not saints or sages.
For some reason, Dida's mind suddenly popped up with this sentence, and after a brief moment of stunned silence, the 'astronaut' didn't have time to figure out how this 'Mr. G' had done it, and immediately threw himself into operating the hardware.
Soon, countless holographic projection doors opened, and massive data streams overflowed from behind them, revealing one human figure after another.
It's AI!
All the AI captured from various subconscious worlds, data nodes, and information superhighways is used here!
Dida has never seen so many AIs before!
The dense stream of data rushed straight to "Gate 0," and the numerous viral mouths devoured it without hesitation, causing logical structures to collapse, personality templates to dissipate, and emotional data to be absorbed.
"Data devouring?"
"To be precise, it is the 'Digital Life Alienation Transformation' plan, which was proposed by the Evolutionary Sage and approved at the Thirteen Sages Conference. It is a transformation plan to allow digital life to evolve into cyber digital life."
"In this plan, we referenced all the reproductive and breeding methods from pre-civilization eras and the current mechanical age. By modifying the original code of AI, implanting special digital life signals, and then using viruses to incubate them, once successful, we will obtain a unique cyber digital life."
"What if we fail?" Dida suddenly asked.
"Evolution, this iterative process, is built up from countless failures. Behind the birth of every species are a large number of evolutionary failures. We have plenty of patience," the voice behind the earpiece said coldly.
A large number of AIs were released into the "Database 0" and absorbed by the virus. Some of the viruses grew into fleshy flowers with bulging bellies, while others turned into "pregnant women." However, their eerie smiles and the garbled characters flashing in their pupils made them look extremely terrifying.
The large-scale deployment of "intelligent data" prevented the virus, which was initially eager to leave, from choosing to do so immediately. After all, it was being fed for free, saving it the trouble of searching for other things. Where else could you find such a good deal?
The senior engineer kept staring at the door of the "Virus Database No. 0". The door went from blurry to clear, and the virus on the door peeled off on its own, revealing a burning "colorless flame".
Even from a great distance, he could sense the danger emanating from the flames.
That's a firewall at the 'planetary brain' level.
Name: Colorless Fire
Level: 93
Property:??
Affiliation: Fortress
Note: A rather dangerous advanced information weapon,????
The planetary brain-level, or third-tier, firewall is a weapon capable of blocking information disasters from ordinary planets, such as helium flashes caused by stellar expansion, high-density rays generated inside nebulae, and spatial ripples generated when some high-dimensional life forms move.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, using this kind of firewall as a last resort is more than enough.
However, whether it was Gao Gong using the power of a certain "virus girl" to pinpoint the location of the "database," or the experts from the Earth Network Group opening a crack in the door, this last line of defense seemed to have crashed, somewhat unexpectedly for Gao Gong.
"Strange, why is there no reaction at all? This doesn't make sense—"
Putting everything else aside, even if the senior engineer himself were to do it, he wouldn't dare say he could do it this well.
"Then let's see how you're doing it."
With a thought, the professional traits such as "Virtual Proof", "Top-Tier Programming", "Human Brain Maverick", "Punk Soul", and "Special Modifier" lit up one by one.
While this professional knowledge doesn't increase your explicit attributes, it does provide an implicit boost.
With the activation of the skill "Information Warfare Pioneer", the world in the senior engineer's eyes has completely changed.
Information warfare pioneers – the form of warfare is bound to change, but no matter how it changes, what will always change is the way information is acquired, and you will completely transform the form of the battlefield through information.
The boundless desert has vanished, replaced by endless sounds of clashing swords and galloping horses. Visual and auditory signals have been transformed; what we see and hear is flesh and blood, swords and spears, and the thunderous roar of cannons in holographic light and shadow.
Viruses are invisible and formless; only by transforming the "form of warfare" can they be attacked from the same dimension. This is the meaning of "secret warfare."
Professional Specialty, "Secret Warfare": +10% Unit Compatibility, +15% Modification Success Rate, +30% Firepower Enhancement. As a shadow of war, your presence will increase the probability of winning a battle.
As the senior engineer reached forward, the cannon fire grew increasingly intense, as if piercing his eardrums and smashing into his head. Roars erupted all around, like the neighing of horses and the drawing of bows by ancient soldiers, or the exploding guns and smoke of volley fire. If the cannon fire were pulled closer, the senior engineer could even hear starships exchanging energy pillars in space, a silent yet destructive scene that could destroy everything in an instant.
All of these are the fog of war, the illusions of war in the past, present, and future, the outer shell of war. Only by peeling back the shell can we see the most vibrant flesh and blood.
Finally, the senior engineer saw it.
He saw a huge skull mountain, its body composed of skulls burning with iridescent flames, and on the surface of the mountain, a dreamlike veil firmly locked the flames, preventing any heat from escaping.
"Advanced information fog?"
The experienced engineer immediately recognized the thing and, after touching his teeth, was 100% certain of its origin.
'Memory Matrix!'
