The Cyber Disco
The war did not end because someone left.
As most companies entered the second phase, wave after wave of wars were triggered.
The second phase of the corporate war is the hemispherical war, in which any corporation attacks any mechanical city, whether in the Southern or Northern Hemisphere.
Moreover, war is no longer limited to military warfare.
Strategic alliances, deception, and business tactics.
The development of brain-computer interface technology has become a key focus.
In a virtual confrontation, failure would result in the loss of tens of millions of pieces of human data.
This is far more exciting than a simple military operation or a decapitation strike.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the signs of the Eternal Life Consortium's defeat are already evident, and the Sacred Brain Group is destined to be the ultimate winner.
In the Southern Hemisphere, a total of five super groups entered the final round, the most special of which was the "Mr. G Research Association".
It is not a single company, but a consortium of 30 companies.
What's even more interesting is that its founder was not a business leader, but the founder of a mercenary group.
Moreover, this mercenary group displayed its might in the Northern Hemisphere, single-handedly defeating the thirteen-army mercenary coalition.
Dugo Group.
Countless eyes were fixed on the senior engineer.
Countless visitors also appeared at the foundation's entrance.
However, he did not meet with any of the senior engineers.
In all previous corporate battles, there has never been a person who, despite not being directly involved, could stir up such a storm with every move.
"Let me participate? I'm not interested in these kinds of business meetings. I don't care who they are! I'm not a participating company, what's the point of them inviting me?"
"Our Research Association is a neutral peace organization focused on developing yellow, no, green technologies. We have no jurisdiction over matters like fighting."
Meanwhile, in his top-floor office, the senior engineer casually responded to his colleagues' invitations while focusing his attention on the development of the "Space Armor".
On the surface, it is a scale armor, with scales covering the neck downwards, almost transparent. If you don't look closely, it looks like a head is floating in mid-air.
"It's almost at its limit. The 'human model' can only hold on to this point, otherwise all the 'spatial scales' will collapse."
In this oversized CEO office, the spatial parameters have been affected, with a stapler or a book disappearing every now and then.
"Let's test its power."
The senior engineer waved, and the ceiling flipped open, revealing four hidden energy guns. Four beams of energy flashed and disappeared.
However, these rays of light struck the space armor without causing a ripple.
The system panel is full of iss.
"Try electromagnetic weapons again."
Soon, an electromagnetic sniper rifle was brought up. It was a weapon that was nearly 1.5 meters long and looked like a long metal box.
Electromagnetic weapons are a type of powered weapon, the only difference being that they can use electromagnetic conversion to increase the speed of bullets to an exaggerated level.
Moreover, compared to energy weapons, power weapons have an advantage: the added bullet buff is significantly more substantial.
This electromagnetic gun, I don't know which company gave it to me as a gift, has a dozen or so attack buffs, such as +12% critical hit damage, +21% damage over time, +11% damage to limbs...
In the hands of the player, it becomes a divine artifact.
"Come on, give it a try."
The meeting secretary gritted his teeth and fired the gun.
Silently, the bullet pierced the senior engineer's chest.
I felt a chill in my chest.
The senior engineer clicked his tongue and mentally gave the 'Bio-computer' a command.
"After readjusting the layout of the space string, I can sense that the kinetic weapon is causing a slight interference with it."
After the adjustments were completed, the senior engineer instructed his executive secretary to make another move.
This time, the chill in my chest disappeared.
Next, the senior engineer tested other individual weapons, but none of them worked.
He finally went so far as to target the energy cannon.
This is a weapon that deals over 350,000 damage.
"President, have we gone too far?" The male secretary wiped his sweat.
"It's okay, come on!"
The chairman's orders are absolute, and soon an energy cannon was carried into the office.
Such large weapons are not something a male secretary can handle.
It was carried over by several heavy-duty robots.
This energy cannon doesn't look like a 'cannon weapon', but rather an elongated 'computer host'. Apart from the large hole in the middle, its surface is covered with dense energy patterns and various inserted weapon chips.
This type of weapon is typically responsible for the outermost defense of the group's headquarters.
On this planet, you can count the number of military contractors capable of developing energy cannons on one hand.
"Come on, fire at me!"
The male secretary hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
He wasn't worried that this shot would kill his own chairman, but he was worried that it would destroy the entire office.
Robots only obey commands, not facial expressions.
Almost the instant the senior engineer spoke, the energy cannon began to spew out white waves of air, and the next moment, a blinding beam of light shot straight at the senior engineer.
Amidst the dazzling light, the senior engineer was transformed into a beam of light by the energy pillar.
The floor under the beam of light had already begun to char, smoke, and burn.
A loud alarm sounded throughout the building.
However, no matter how much the power of the energy cannon was increased, the surface of the space armor was not hot at all. In fact, at this moment, you could even touch it with your hand and it would be possible to pass through the armor.
"Alright, that's about enough."
"Alright, that's about enough."
One minute later, the senior engineer called a halt to the attack.
In most planetary civilizations, the upper limit for conventional weapons is around 500,000.
There is practically no damage exceeding this level.
Of course, this is a cyber testing ground, and weapons that break the limits of conventional weapons do exist.
But the experiment was sufficient.
The senior engineer was certain that even if the damage from '500,000' were doubled to '1 million', it still wouldn't be able to break through this seemingly thin layer of armor.
This is the power of 'Honkai,' or rather, the power of one-third of the 'Cosmic Relics.'
Basically, it can be said that, apart from 'Tier 3 civilization buildings', no conventional weapon on this planet can truly harm itself.
"At this stage of development, it's almost at the level of android A."
Android A guessed that there should also be a boss template similar to "God of War".
He didn't have that type of template, but he had version 0 of the biological computer.
Its normal computing power is equivalent to that of a genius in a year in one day.
The defining characteristic of carbon-based civilizations is the ability to mass-produce, and even infinitely mass-produce, super geniuses.
Outside the office, many figures immediately disappeared.
If you are strong enough, others will behave themselves.
As long as Chairman Gao maintains this overwhelming level of power, no company representative will harbor any improper thoughts.
"You've been looking for ages, why aren't you coming out?"
The senior engineer suddenly looked up at a camera, and then the walls and ceiling of the office began to turn black, revealing a door covered with various street graffiti.
From inside the gate, the faint sound of heavy metal music could be heard.
"Hey, Boss G, I have a little favor to ask you for."
"What's the big deal?"
"My eldest senior sister is trying to kill my second senior brother. If you don't come soon, I'm about to lose control!"
Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother, then you are the Third Junior Brother?
The senior engineer now understood who had just made the "Virtual Invasion".
He pushed open the door, and sure enough, a world of bars appeared.
The advantage of merging the virtual world with reality is that virtual things can appear in the real world anytime, anywhere.
The senior engineer walked into the dark bar.
At some point, the original quiet bar turned into a disco, and the rock 'n' roll girl who was having a blast on stage was none other than former famous idol Idol.
The disco was packed with people, shoulder to shoulder. The high-achieving woman, or rather, the Rich Lady Aiai Prototype, hadn't taken more than a few steps before she was touched twice by two disco girls.
"Hey handsome, want to play with us?" the girl said with a grin, her fair arms intertwining.
"My mom told me not to hang out with girls who don't have big breasts."
The Rich Lady Aiai Prototype.
Before they had taken two steps, a person wrapped up tightly bumped into them.
"Bro, try out the latest pleasure app, Avalanche."
The senior engineer grabbed the other person's hand, in which was a disc.
"Avalanche?"
The senior engineer calmly looked at the other person, and when the other person tried to escape, he grabbed the other person's head and smashed it open, exposing the electronic neck.
That was a hacker account.
In reality, in a small, dark room, a young man, as if having a nightmare, suddenly swung his arm, throwing a pile of used tissues off the table.
A black figure protruded from the wall and became increasingly clear.
The young man's face was covered in sweat, and his eyelids were twitching as if he were trying to wake up.
The shadowy figure said softly:
"The combination of virtual and reality makes it easier to hack into other people's minds, but don't forget that it also makes it easier to counter hacking."
"Just like you right now, you're not wearing a 'connected device,' so you've forgotten to install the 'thought pop-up' function at crucial moments."
"In your next life, don't sell DVDs, sell char siu instead."
The next moment, the young man's head suddenly exploded.
That hacker is dead as good as dead.
In the disco, the Rich Lady Aiai Prototype.
"Avalanche, avalanche."
Is this disc virus related to the "avalanche"?
By the way, when did this bar turn into a disco?
The senior engineer shook his head and walked directly into the private room. Fortunately, the waiter outside the room recognized him and quickly led the way until they reached a large private room, where the faint sound of arguing could be heard.
"Is this package soundproof?" the engineer asked.
"This is the most soundproof private room," the waiter replied.
"Oh."
The senior engineer pushed open the door and entered.
The bird of paradise was furious.
Ah Hong was caught in a dilemma.
The last handsome man had a smile on his face.
"Is this a reunion of fellow disciples?"
The senior engineer raised his eyebrows and said.
Upon seeing the arrival of the senior engineer, Ah Hong immediately breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his brow.
"Boss, you've finally arrived. My senior sister almost wrecked my bar."
