Future World

"Sister Du."

"Mr. Du."

"Mr. Du."

Footsteps pattered on the floor, the sound of flat cloth shoes hitting the floor. Compared to the clatter of high heels, it wasn't crisp; instead, it sounded rather monotonous.

"Mr. Du, according to the current investigation results, there are a total of 11 large mercenary teams, including our old rivals, Tabor Defense System and Marubeni Global Security."

Sun Hong handed over the list, and Du Zhaodi took it and glanced at it. Sure enough, she saw many familiar names. These were her old rivals in the global arms market, mostly established military contractors.

"These people all have their own clients in the corporate wars. How did the Eternal Life Consortium bring them together?" Du Zhaodi asked.

"These military contractors are all publicly listed companies, and each of them has a large number of foundations and financial organizations holding shares. Behind these organizations, there is basically the shadow of the Eternal Life Group. They can be regarded as the armed branches of the Eternal Life Group. In fact, according to our understanding, many high-ranking members of mercenary organizations only just learned this."

"They didn't resist? As far as I know, they have signed cooperation agreements with many mega-corporations. If they breach the agreement now, it could very likely lower their credit rating."

"In the face of immortality, no problem is a problem," Sun Hong suddenly said, quoting a proverb about the Immortal Life Foundation.

"Oh."

Director Du gave a cold laugh, "That's why I don't want to bring these venomous snakes into my house."

The two women pushed open the door, and the executives of the Du Gao Group appeared either in person or as holographic projections. Upon seeing Du Zhaodi, their expressions varied, ranging from excitement to worry to exhilaration.

"Sister Du, are we really going to fight those military organizations?"

"Dry them to death!"

"We're not really going to stand up for the Holy Brain Group, are we? We're on Ms. Ye's side."

With just one glance from Director Du, all the senior executives fell silent. Such authority was something that the young punk could never achieve in his entire life.

Director Du didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. "Each department should first report on your current situation, including the number of weapons, production efficiency, and the distribution and status of production lines."

The head of the mecha division, Heri Wilder, was the first to stand up and speak:

"Currently, there are a total of 94,061 mechs of all models, including 12,000 large mechs, 30,000 unmanned mechs, and 52,061 medium and small mechs. We currently have 17 production lines worldwide, and our factory in the Southern Hemisphere can produce one mech every minute..."

Many people were shocked. That's a huge number! Even in corporate warfare, they only deployed a little over a thousand mechs at a time. Now they're being told that there are nearly 100,000 mechs in storage worldwide? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?

"And you two?" After listening to Heri's report, Du Zhaodi looked at Sun Hong and Daisy, who were in charge of the Hunter Sequence.

"There are currently 2211 Blood Hunters in the biological sequence."

"The number of Blood Hunters in the Mechanical Sequence is 1411."

As the faction level increases, the three hunter levels—Hunter, Wild Hunt, and Blood Hunt—have also been upgraded. Hunter level is now level 25 or higher, Wild Hunt level is level 30 or higher, and Blood Hunt level is level 35. In addition, the carbon-based fusion ritual must be completed.

Undoubtedly, this number exceeded many people's expectations.

The young woman raised her eyebrows proudly. These were all her handiwork. When it came to the bloodline of the radiated beasts, no one on the entire planet knew more about them than her. Without her (or more accurately, the brain in a vat) help, how could her family have created so many experts?

Director Du nodded, looking calmly at an unfamiliar face. "It's time to convene the 'Hunter Conference'."

"I will obey your command."

"Sister Du, are you planning to use those external aids?" a senior executive asked in surprise.

"Well, after doing so many good deeds, it's time to reap some rewards."

The "Hunter's Conference" has evolved into a platform for mission posting, resource trading, and weapon sales. In fact, many super mercenaries who are friendly with Dugo Technologies choose to participate.

Moreover, it's the kind where there are no middlemen taking a cut.

The reason why the "Hunter" faction can attract so many experts is that they can cure diseases.

In the cyber age, most mental illnesses are signs of mental health. There is only one disease that even mentally ill people cannot withstand: the rejection of the body caused by various modifications, such as the most typical one, "cyber psychosis".

Surprisingly, Dugo Technologies's research experience in this area is quite extensive. The reason is simple: experience makes perfect. Since a certain young wolf was "sick" more often than not, it gave his own camp ample opportunity for research.

Being able to overcome rejection will naturally earn you the favor of experts, especially independent experts.

It's important to understand that those who can stand out in a super corporation are basically the strongest of the strong.

Du Zhaodi has their connections, and in crucial moments, she becomes a great help.

Many of them were quite famous NPCs in their previous lives.

As their own faction's secrets were revealed one by one, people gradually went from surprise to numbness. It wasn't that Du Zhaodi had suddenly produced some amazing black technology, but rather that the sheer volume and abundance brought about by super industrialization meant that no matter what type of troops or weapons they were, adding a zero or even two zeros to the end was enough to make people shudder.

These are the three boss templates, and they are the logistics templates that provide buffs to the faction.

When there are too many of them, they will crush everything.

Director Du's gaze gradually turned indifferent. In a daze, she seemed to be connected with every machine and every production line in her company. From mining to refining to production, they all formed an industrial blood flow like a torrent, flowing into her body.

Industrial AI is inherently a faction-based AI, and when Du Zhaodi upgrades from industrial AI to industrial ship girl, this upgrade will only increase even faster.

It's important to know that as a powerful Tier 3 unit, the Industrial Ship Girl has a very strong characteristic: each one is an industrial nation, and all materials can be stacked up to modify herself.

Now, Du Zhaodi is trying to go a step further and upgrade all the production pipeline processes to reach the level of "interstellar military supply production".

At this stage, we can even initially meet the logistical standards of "interstellar warfare".

Just as Director Du was preparing to pull off a miracle, the senior engineer and his team had already arrived at the edge of the virtual world.

A large number of digital illusions collapse on the spot, either decomposing back into simulated signals or redundantly synthesizing into a string of code whose purpose is unknown, and then sinking into the 'brain infrastructure', falling into the head of some unlucky person, forming some strange thoughts of unknown origin.

Cyberspace is a virtual world that does not exist on a physical level, but envelops the entire planet on a virtual level.

Now, the merging of virtual and reality also means that cyberspace will "disappear." While this "disappearance" is not permanent, it will certainly cause catastrophic damage to AI, digital life, and virtual personalities that live in the virtual world.

"Two million for a steady-state digital node, five million for a bionic human body. Want one? Get on board now!"

A large train, formed from a network cloud, is suspended in the air and speeding through the air, with the train conductor's shouts echoing in mid-air.

"What's a ticket?" the senior engineer asked with interest.

"Open up your source code!"

"Oh."

Seeing that the senior engineer did not answer, the train quickly lost interest in him and rushed toward another data node that was about to be destroyed.

"I sensed a dangerous aura from that cloud," 'Big Lolita Ye' suddenly said.

"Of course, that's a virus cloud, harboring countless electronic viruses within it. It's well-hidden and has harmed countless people."

In the eyes of the senior engineer, at the parking space that was about to disappear, countless heads were prying at the windows and car doors, their complex eyes fixed on the virtual personalities around them, their expressions ranging from pity to malice to eagerness.

"Come on, let's have some fun, we'll have time on the bus anyway."

Soon, another "bus" drove in from a distance. The pink curtains exuded a lewd atmosphere, and one could vaguely see countless men and women, as well as scenes unsuitable for children.

One of the naked beauties looked seductively at the senior engineer and extended her hand towards him.

[You have been tempted by the "digital illusion," and your perception level exceeds 100, thus you are granted a immunity.]

[You have been tempted by the "digital illusion," and your perception level exceeds 120. You have been granted a immunity.]

[You...]

A beam of light suddenly appeared on the senior engineer's body, directly blocking the other party's summons.

That was the protection of the "Queen of Mimicry".

Then, a cold snort rang out.

The beauty's expression changed as soon as she sensed the aura of the "Simulated Queen," and she prepared to run away, but it was too late. With Black Rose's voice, the woman exploded, turning into countless faces, which were then absorbed by the men and women inside the curtains.

This seems to be something that lies somewhere between a virtual personality, user data, and digital authority.

I don't know what level it is, but getting entangled with it must be very troublesome.

Soon, amidst giggles, another alluring woman stepped out of the bus, winked at the senior engineer, and then disappeared into the digital world.

The senior engineer remarked with some emotion:

"With the virtual and reality merging, we'll be dealing directly with these things from now on."

Originally, cyberspace and the real world were separated by an ocean of data.

Now, the "ocean" has disappeared, and those virtual monsters that could only exist in cyberspace have also entered reality along with the seawater.

What's more troublesome is that, in order to protect themselves, these virtual monsters merge with each other, forming even more terrifying monsters.

This is the world of the future.
