One day later, Liangzhou City

As the Level 9 aircraft landed, another key member of the headquarters of Tianping Technology arrived.

Unlike the previous Mona, this one is a member of the armed faction and a super cyborg.

Upon seeing the other party appear, Han Tong forced a smile onto his usually expressionless face. The two were quite familiar with each other, having both served as instructors at headquarters.

"You've really made a huge mess," the other party laughed. "Fortunately, you managed to shift the blame in time, and that stupid woman Mona conveniently took the fall for it."

Han Tong sneered, "That shrewish woman. If it weren't for her, things wouldn't have come to this."

"Even the company's will has been alarmed, really," the other person rubbed his temples. "To be honest, I was quite taken aback at headquarters."

When organizations form clusters, they transcend the boundaries of individuals, taking the collective thought as their brain and the collective will as their standard.

In layman's terms, once the company's will is affected, all the senior executives will be alarmed, including him.

"Get in my car."

The headquarters investigator flicked his hand, and the next moment, the heavy mechanical components on his body began to deform, turning into a small magnetic levitation car. At the same time, a pale-faced young man appeared, with two-thirds of his body replaced by mechanical components, and the remaining third being bright red muscles, which looked somewhat terrifying.

Han Tong exclaimed in surprise, "The Legion technology of the Mother City!"

"Don't be surprised, mechanical transformation is no secret. Get in the car."

After the two got into the car, the maglev vehicle entered autonomous driving mode and blocked their communication.

"Okay, now that we're alone, you can tell me the truth," the headquarters investigator said, rubbing his forehead, a thick vein throbbing powerfully.

"Before I came here, I heard all sorts of bizarre rumors, like an outsider wiped out your entire Throne Division, dismantled the mechanical mainframe, and finally destroyed this testing ground. All sorts of nonsense."

"Even if the experiment fails, you need to come up with a better excuse, otherwise how am I supposed to go back and explain myself?"

Han Tong's lips twitched, and after a moment of silence, he said, "That's basically the truth—except that the mainframe wasn't disassembled."

The investigator turned to look at the street. Since the signal station was gone, the pedestrians on the street seemed to have a bit more life on their faces.

For the people here, the disruption of the experiment might actually be a good thing.

"... That's the situation. Charlie is waiting for you at the branch."

Han Tong babbled on and on, then looked up and saw that the other person was watching the holographic video with great interest, which made him furious.

The investigator, however, was unfazed. Pointing at the surveillance video with gleaming eyes, he exclaimed incredulously, "What's with this kind of mechanical modification? It's incredible! So you guys really were beaten that badly!"

"..."

Soon, the two arrived at the Tianping branch, which had been reduced to ruins. The once arrogant and elite employees were now scavenging for scraps in the ruins, trying to salvage some valuable data.

In the ruins of a leaky building, the investigators met Charlie, the branch's top manager.

"I never imagined you'd actually been turned into a human pig. After soaking for so long, has it been marinated well?" the investigator remarked with a tsk-tsk.

Charlie remained calm, beckoned, and several mechanical soldiers brought over Dr. Liang, who was bound hand and foot, his blonde secretary, and a series of researchers involved in the "rebellion."

"These are the witnesses you requested. Based on the current clues, we can deduce that the person who sabotaged the experiment was a high-ranking member of the Knights, who called himself Mr. G. The corporate spy who contacted him was Zhang Yu, the logistics director, whose whereabouts are currently unknown. We are currently searching for him."

"Can you confirm that they are members of the Knights?"

"Based on the technological means and communication methods they have demonstrated, this is most likely the case."

The investigator then asked, "So, how did the other side manage to take control of all the branch's defensive weapons in such a short time?"

"It was Mona. This woman was too eager for quick success. In order to capture the other party as soon as possible, she activated the branch's main computer, which was then hacked by the other party, causing this chaos."

"Hacking in—that sounds like a hacker's method? Besides, Mona is one of the few people at headquarters who has undergone advanced biological modifications. Who could hack into her?"

"I don't know. A terrorist organization like the Knights must have some special methods."

"But I heard that the branch's defense system can only be activated with the authorization of the number one administrator," the investigator said in a cryptic tone.

Charlie's expression remained unchanged. "You should know what state I was in back then. Do you think I could have colluded with outsiders in that state?"

The investigator glanced at the blonde secretary, stroked his chin, and suddenly chuckled, "You're really lucky. If you hadn't been betrayed, you would have been 100% out of your job this time."

"Snort!"

Charlie gave a blank snort.

"What did Marubeni say?" Han Tong suddenly asked.

"What else can we say? The newly developed samurai legion has been controlled by someone else, and Jizhi Liuyuanzhai has disappeared. Even if the two families have a very good relationship, we will still have to suffer heavy losses. Fortunately, the specific technical data of the Marubeni samurai is still available, otherwise it would be a real problem."

Han Tong tried to interject, but the investigator stopped him. "Alright, the key now is to rebuild the testing ground, and... find that Mr. G!"

"At all costs!!"

"Achoo!"

On the sea somewhere in the Pan-Asian region, the senior engineer sneezed.

"Which rich woman is eyeing me this time?"

Upon opening the civilization panel, within the Brain Domain Civilization, three more professional knowledge items have been activated within the "professional knowledge chain" of Mechanical Brain Technology.

[Brain-Simulation Technology], [Brain Muscle Modification], [Brain Speed Information Channel].

This is the real purpose behind the senior engineers' antics: to acquire the most cutting-edge "basic theories" of the company, which is also known as "professional knowledge."

In fact, there are five types of professional knowledge obtained this time, two of which were previously acquired, such as [Information Network], which is in the knowledge chain given by the wealthy Rose Sister.

This is inevitable as professional knowledge increases.

These three areas of professional knowledge have very obvious benefits. [Brain mimicry technology] can transfer the brain's functions to other parts of the body.

For example, a left hand that is full of emotions, and a right hand that is capable of thinking.

[Brain muscle modification] This refers to knowledge about the brain's computational abilities. Some drugs that enhance intelligence and perception, or some brain enhancement plug-ins, all require this kind of knowledge.

The research direction of the [Brain Speed Information Channel] is communication ability. It is possible to communicate without using the mouth, just by using the brain. This is common in some insect-nest-like civilizations, but there are not many such species among carbon-based species.

All three types of knowledge have many uses. For example, [Brain Simulation Technology] can develop higher-level combat modes, such as man and sword as one or man and cannon as one. [Brain Muscle Modification] can develop various small pills that permanently increase intelligence. Although [Brain Speed Information Channel] has limited personal use, it is an indispensable part in group experiments.

Most importantly, with the addition of three professional knowledge areas—brain chemistry, brain structure, and brainwave control—the senior engineer is only two knowledge areas away from completing the entire "mechanical brain technology."

One is called "Brain Ecology," and the other is called "Brain Region Zero."

Once the entire knowledge chain is assembled, the entire mechanical brain technology can be activated, and then, one can gamble on "brain implantation".

Based on what he knew, Director Du had already gained Ms. Qiao's initial trust and was one step closer to making contact with the "Dark Girl Project".

Compared to his previous life, he wanted to help that girl seize power more quickly, and then make her his strength.

I switched to the personal panel. The experience bar was full, and the upgrade button was lit up.

Unlike upgrading, each transformation of rank represents an improvement in one's level of life.

The first three tiers can be improved on their own, but beyond the third tier, one must rely on a certain civilization.

Late-game players taking revenge on society is a very important reason.

If you can't latch onto a civilization, you can still advance by destroying it and acquiring its legacy.

The later-stage Cosmic Nobles used this method to lure players into becoming cannon fodder.

"Perfect timing. During the promotion process, life will enter a 'purification state,' and I can take this opportunity to lay low—well, on a physical level."

After adding the last bit of experience, a series of system notifications sounded the next moment.

However, the senior engineer was no longer visible at this point.

A strong drowsiness began to arise, and he sank, sank, and sank again, sinking to the bottom of the sea, his remaining muscle memory burying him deep in the ocean.

The ocean became a shell, until finally it broke through.

This is on a physical level.

At the network level, a very special browser opened.

The search engine entry point is a new brand called 'gaidu'.

It looks like a child of Google and Baidu.
