Mother City Deep Web
Aragaki was not panicked. Since the opponent's "personality evolution" ability could be used on outsiders, it could naturally be used on his own people as well. This did not mean that the opponent could return so quickly. He still had many backup plans.
"The old guard of the fortress."
Aragaki still showed sufficient respect for this version of the fortress.
"The little personality born from my virtual personality simulator has grown to this extent, you brat Aragaki. Have you forgotten that I was the one who sent you into the Deep Web? What will she do if she finds out your identity as a spy within a spy?"
"I'm afraid that's not surprising," Aramaki said calmly. "Ever since I faked my death, I left a document for Deep Web Lady, completely revealing my identity. And I did not lose the title of Deep Web's follower, so it's obvious that she should have known this long ago."
"Hmph," the old man in the fortress said, his face devoid of features, revealing a chilling aura. "Get out of my territory, you traitor!"
"Of course, but before I leave, I have one last question I'd like to ask you."
"If you still want to buy this fake!"
"No, I'm asking you."
What do you want to ask?
"What do you know about the monsters in the starry sky, that memory matrix?"
"Nonsense!"
With a loud bang, the door slammed shut, and Aragaki appeared outside the door without anyone noticing.
"Let's go, kid. He's really angry right now. If he gets too angry and lets something out, that won't be a good thing."
The voice from inside the door sounded again.
Araki took a deep breath, and his deeply lined face seemed to grow even older.
As the other party had said, all the doors in the corridor were banging loudly, and with each impact, one could glimpse the monster that was faintly visible through the cracks in the doors.
"Kid, let me out. I'm the information virus the fortress fears most; I can help you deal with it!"
"I am a top expert in artificial intelligence, and I have detected that the fortress has been infected with a virus."
"Araki, don't forget me, I'm your old friend Charles!"
"Minister Aragaki, I have evidence that the fortress has betrayed the interests of the mother city."
Araki's expression was serious, and he walked forward with firm steps, but his expression quickly changed. In the corridor, fragments of a large door were scattered all over the floor.
The room opposite was completely empty, without a single person in sight.
Has someone escaped?
"Weren't you just trying to find out about me, you old man!"
As soon as Aragaki stepped into the void, a golden vortex of quicksand rapidly formed, and a hand lurking in the sand reached out and grabbed his ankle.
In an instant, countless pieces of source code were sucked into the 'Golden Avalanche'.
Cyber Killer Number 0!!
Aramaki knew the leader of the Punk Group and knew that if he were captured, all of the artificial intelligence's capabilities would be destroyed.
A ruthless glint flashed in his old eyes. He twisted his thigh violently, tearing his calf off completely, and his figure quickly dimmed.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
The "Golden Avalanche" combined directly into a giant hand, about to reach into the void and grab the main body of the Ara-maru.
However, a blue light stopped him; under the influence of the blue light, a large portion of the 'Golden Avalanche' vanished.
"Um?"
The figure in the golden sand withdrew its hand, and wisps of blue light gradually dissipated under the scouring of the 'Golden Avalanche,' dissolving into the most primal aura of collapse.
"Collapse Entity?"
"Brother Gao, someone sent us a letter."
Early in the morning, just as the senior engineer was about to leave, he received a letter from Pang Xiang.
"These days, people still write letters by hand? How retro!"
When the senior engineer opened it, he saw beautiful handwriting and the message invited him to visit next door.
"Yi Yun, an expert in bionic human physiology research."
Yi Yun? The senior engineer seemed to have heard that name somewhere before. He seemed to be a rather famous scientist in the world of androids, who designed many models of androids. He was the kind of person who was on the talent pool of super-corporations.
"His wife is a nice person. When I went for a run this morning, she even treated me to a Baozi she made herself," Fatty Xiang said earnestly.
"It's not surprising that such a top expert lives here."
The self-driving flying cars were already parked at the door. On the other side of freedom, everyone can call a private car, and it's all free.
When Pang Xiang squeezed into the back seat, the back of the car noticeably slumped slightly.
"Hello, this is the in-vehicle intelligent puppy service. What is your goal?"
"Deep Web".
"Okay, please fasten your seatbelt. In the event of events such as modified flying cars, gravity device malfunction, or hacking, the ejection device will protect your life."
"Brother Gao, are we heading to the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division headquarters?"
Inside the car, Fatty Xiang asked curiously.
He slept soundly all night and thought he would be going to work today.
"No rush. Who's in a hurry to go to work? Besides, I haven't redeemed my rewards from my home city yet."
In the corporate war, the senior engineer continued his winning streak, acquiring a total of [number] points in the Mother City trading area.
This is a rather substantial figure.
Moreover, the Mother City Trading Point is different from Mechanical Coin; it is a super currency that can be traded directly with the planet's mainframe, and can be exchanged for resources and technologies that this planet does not even have.
The senior engineer needs this to get himself a complete set of martial arts gear.
Thinking of this, he opened his personal panel again—
Personal System: 131%
Musculoskeletal system: 78%
Nervous system 14%
Endocrine system 3%
Circulatory system 15%
Respiratory system 9%
Digestive system 3%
2% of the urinary system
Reproductive system 7%
Level 40, the maximum modification limit for the human body is 200%.
For every 10 levels gained, a portion of the human body's modification rate is released: 25% at level 10, 50% at level 20, 50% at level 30, and 75% at level 40.
That adds up to exactly 200%.
As the level increases, these modification rates will continue to be released until level 90, when they reach 800%, which is the peak.
The maximum modification limit for each human body system is 100%, which adds up to 800%.
The mechanical modifications made by the senior engineer mostly focus on the 'musculoskeletal system,' which is the human skeleton.
This is not surprising. From a robotic perspective, many human systems are unnecessary, such as the urinary system, reproductive system, endocrine system, and circulatory system.
This is also the most difficult part of achieving 100% transformation.
There are some human systems that you want to modify, but the "modification rate" is maxed out.
There are some human systems that you don't want to change, but in order to achieve 100% transformation, you have no choice but to change them.
Take the reproductive system, for example. The senior engineer thought about it seriously. Among the mechanical races in the universe, maybe one in ten might not have this thing. How to fill this system is a very troublesome problem.
We can't just make random changes, or Director Du will cry.
Conversely, in biological systems, this system is very easy to fill.
But that's all in the future.
Now, the senior engineer just wants to use the channels of the mother city to properly equip his body with some martial god armor.
It's best to fill up the personal system directly.
He needs to think carefully about the 69% renovation rate.
The deep web is an hour's drive from the other side of freedom. Between the two lies a vast river of virtual and reality, also known as the Black and White River.
Half of this river is real river water, with a rapid current and white waves crashing in the air. The other half is a stream of virtual data discharged from the deep web. Because there is so much waste data being discharged, it has exceeded the processing capacity of the virtual layer, and has gradually pushed back the real river water, occupying half of the river channel.
The Deep Web is unique. To be precise, the three mother cities are all unique. For example, Cybertron is a mechanical satellite, and its fortress stores most of the virtual personalities on the planet, making it more like a storage center.
What makes Shenzhen's internet special is that it is the first city where the virtual and the real worlds are completely integrated.
Of course, as the Electronic Brain Project unfolds, virtual space and reality will merge, and all cities will eventually become like the "deep web".
Virtual data pipelines covered the city's ground, making the entire city look like a giant holographic projection, and there were even real skyscrapers that were generated on the spot as the data was imported.
This is a unique "virtual building" in the city. The significance of this "building" is that it is equivalent to a data processing center, where some neural editors can "work online" and double their work efficiency.
In addition, there are also some high-rise buildings in the deep network. The surfaces of these buildings are covered with thick pipes. The more advanced the building, the more pipes it has.
"Brother Gao, what does it mean that they're inserting tubes into this building? Is it critically ill?" Fatty Xiang's thoughts were still running wild.
"This is a networked building unique to the DeepNet. Through this network, the Mother City Mobile Force, led by Ghost in the Shell, can connect to combat cybernetic bodies anywhere in the world at any time to carry out combat missions. This encrypted connection can also effectively prevent hacker intrusion," said the AI puppy.
"This looks familiar," Fatty Xiang said, staring at the thick data pipes, which were about the thickness of water tanks. He suddenly paused and exclaimed, "Brother Gao, isn't this a brain-computer interface? And a wired one at that!"
"No applied technology comes out of thin air. Before that, it has to go through a lot of technical experiments. Without a doubt, Mother City is such a place," the senior engineer said casually.
"That's really interesting."
Fatty Xiang stared wide-eyed outwards. The mother city was also flashing with neon lights, but unlike the mechanical city, which was full of fraudulent holographic GGs, the mother city was in a slightly dim urban environment, with dozens of beams of light like searchlights flashing by from time to time.
"What is that?"
"Backup data of a high-level AI, backup business data of a company, or even a person."
"Someone?"
"Yes, we have a 'consciousness uploading' device at home. Where do you think this 'consciousness' is uploaded to?"
"So that's how it is!" Fatty Xiang felt that this was truly an eye-opening experience.
"Sir, are you really not going to Ghost in the Shell Mobile Unit?" Miss Shell's voice suddenly rang out.
The senior engineer looked up and saw the tallest building with the most intubations, then calmly lowered his head again.
"Didn't we agree on three days? It's only been one day, what's the rush?"
"Yes, sir, everything will proceed as you wish."
