Star Core Training
The Punk Family's invasion of the Alliance occurred before World War II, meaning that the Mother City forces had not yet invaded this planet.
Even so, the "Punk Family" still attracted the attention of the mother city. Even the Deep Web Lady (although it is unknown who exactly she is) was secretly assisting the three civilizations in suppressing this toxic core of civilization.
Later, the Mother City replaced the three major civilizations as the rulers of this planet. They were still quite wary of this ancient virus, so they divided it into six parts and entrusted them to six different overseer departments.
The portion controlled by the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Unit was sealed within the Ghost in the Shell Center.
"I must remind you that you are about to open a Level 5 dangerous sealed artifact. Let me confirm with you again, are you sure you want to open it?"
"Yes."
Soon, a large hole appeared in the ground in front of the senior engineer. Three boxes were pushed up through the hole. At the end of the hole, the terrifying heat was faintly visible, but it was blocked by silver rings. In the end, only a flash of red light remained before the ground merged back together.
"Half of these dangerous materials are sealed at the bottom of Ghost in the Shell. If any abnormality is detected, I will immediately sink them into the Earth's core so that they can be completely destroyed by the most dangerous forces on this planet."
The senior engineer nodded, and with a gentle lift of his finger, the lid of a box was opened, revealing a pile of USB drives, paper materials, and letters.
In the palm, which was as smooth as jade, nerve threads invisible to the naked eye shot out, and in a few breaths, the data was recorded.
This is internal information about the punk family.
Although it is called a "family", this secretive organization is divided into various factions, such as the Information Liberation Front, Avalanche, Encryption Box, and the Ten-Man Group. There are extremists and those who tend to cooperate with state forces.
The senior engineer then opened the second box.
This contains a large amount of data that specifically describes the 'power of avalanches'.
The senior engineer received two special blueprints.
You have obtained the special blueprint [Edge Walker]
[You have obtained the special blueprint [Neuromancer]]
The senior engineer quickly grasped the capabilities of both.
Compared to the previous "Crypto Killer" blueprint, these two blueprints are not the kind that kill in the virtual realm, but their abilities are all very strange.
A thought struck the engineer, and his body gradually became transparent, though not completely transparent; at least it was still visible to the naked eye.
However, at the same time, Miss Shell's simulated voice rang out, carrying a rare hint of surprise.
"Mr. Minister, I can't locate your position. Where are you now?"
Inside the core of Ghost in the Shell, Miss Shell herself was unable to pinpoint the location of the senior engineer.
This is the capability of the "marginal loner": to completely isolate the perception of the data layer.
Even his own perceptions.
For example, if it weren't for having eyes to see, the senior engineer would also feel very unfamiliar, this "unfamiliarity" is like coming to this place for the first time.
Completely marginalized, a lone wolf in the world, no one can discover me—that's how Gao Gong feels right now.
"Interesting. This encryption method even encrypts one's own existence; it's practically a magic weapon for escaping surveillance."
Soon, the senior engineer's body returned to normal, and Miss Shell's voice rang out again. With the senior engineer's repeated betrayals, even this artificial intelligence couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
"If the minister wants to play hide-and-seek with me, at least not here."
"Haha, don't mind it, just kidding."
How does it feel to listen to me speak?
As the senior engineer spoke his second sentence, it seemed as if thousands of senior engineers were speaking at the same time.
'...'
Without a doubt, this means the senior engineer has entered a state of "neural wandering".
Meanwhile, in an encrypted data node on the surface, Gao Yuanyuan was silently watching Gaokesi in the 'pool' when her face suddenly changed, and her nerves tingled with a slight pain. The next moment, a figure walked out from there.
"Don't be nervous, it's your older brother."
Gao Yuanyuan immediately turned around and saw the outline of the engineer faintly visible. It looked like a human figure made of nerve currents, standing opposite her.
"Elder brother!?"
"Hmm," the engineer's voice didn't seem to come from the other side, but rather echoed in Gao Yuanyuan's mind.
"Brother, I now have your 'out-of-the-box' ability too, though of course, I'm not as amazing as you."
"Brother, you're just like me right now!" Gao Yuanyuan's eyes lit up.
"Hmm, I also feel it's quite amazing, like becoming part of someone else's 'neural circuit'," the senior engineer carefully sensed, feeling that at least within the scope of this planet, he could transform into a 'neuromaniac' and jump directly. Of course, if the other party had a 'firewall' installed in their brain, then he wouldn't be able to jump in.
In this respect, he is no match for his younger sister.
However, when Punk Group were rampant, the technology of "Electronic Barrier" did not seem to have been developed yet. Naturally, members of the punk family, such as neurowalkers, did not undergo targeted evolution.
"Gao Yuanyuan was used as a test subject by the Cloud Aristocracy, and she likely utilized some of the 'Punk Family's' technology."
After silently saying goodbye to Gao Yuanyuan, the senior engineer returned to his original body once again.
However, he did not open the last box. After mastering the three special abilities of the "Punk Family", he could keenly sense that what was sealed in the last box was extremely dangerous.
With a thought, the senior engineer put his right hand into "crypto killer" mode, and a large amount of code and numbers appeared from his fingertips to his arm.
Encryption Killer: A password is a special kind of information, and information, in turn, forms special instructions; encryption constitutes life, and instructions constitute death.
My arm went straight through the box, and soon, an indescribable tearing sensation arose.
The feeling was very subtle.
"Can it even break the 'crypto killer state'?"
When the engineer pulled his arm out, white smoke emanated from the surface of the arm; this smoke contained fragments of encrypted code.
If it's like this when it's encrypted, wouldn't it be even more disastrous if it's unencrypted?
"According to the encrypted information, this box contains the remains of a member of the Punk Family known as 'The Biteer'," Ms. Shell said.
"Is the biter a person, or a state of being?" The senior engineer's feelings just now clearly indicated that it wasn't just one mouth.
"The information is quite unusual," Ms. Shell said with a hint of surprise, "Anything with a mouth can become a biteer."
The senior engineer glanced at his crotch, fell into deep thought, and after a long while, finally said:
"Pack it up, I'm taking it with me. Also, open the cooling compartment in Ghost in the Shell, I'm getting out."
"Are you... going out?" Miss Shell couldn't help but repeat.
"Okay, get out."
"Our department is not yet ready to receive the fifth minister."
"Don't worry, I won't be burned to death," the senior engineer said calmly, his appearance and demeanor making him seem like a god descending to earth.
Before Miss Shell could change her opinion of him, Mr. Gao's tone changed, becoming even more serious as he said, "I, Mr. G, will only be harassed to death."
"... I will recommend Captain Motoko Yagami to become the next head of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division!" Miss Shell's tone was tinged with a hint of gritted teeth.
The next moment, the doors to the Ghost in the Shell center slowly opened, and a terrifying heat wave rushed out.
The senior engineer's breath hitched, and his respiratory system felt like it was about to burst from the oncoming heat.
The highest temperature of magma is 1500 degrees Celsius, while the temperature at the Earth's core is 6000 degrees Celsius.
That's not the key point. The most crucial point is that the pressure at the Earth's core is a million times that at the Earth's surface.
Pressure plus firepower—that's the most terrifying thing.

The inhibitors on the senior engineer's wrists, ankles, and thighs all popped out.
The senior engineer instantly entered "fusion mode." With a thought, the previously suppressed resistance was instantly unleashed, like Sun Wukong under the Five Finger Mountain, ready to turn the world upside down as soon as he gained the upper hand.
However, faced with the overwhelming firepower, these two rejections were instantly pushed back.
If it were a level 40 senior engineer, they would have probably already exploded and died by now, but this is a level 50 senior engineer.
The 'Blackthorn Throne' on the upper body spread to the lower body, and the lower body no longer became the 'Beast Tide State', but from the soles of the feet to the calves, it almost disappeared into the void.
The flames landed on the senior engineer's body, and the black thorn tattoo on his ribs instantly turned red. In the flames, it seemed as if tens of thousands of advanced radiation beasts were burned to ashes.
The SS-class beast tide was unleashed, and alarms blared throughout the Ghost in the Shell center.
The senior engineer, whose body was radiating red light, walked step by step into the Earth's core, into what seemed to be a small sun that burned eternally.
After the alarms at Ghost in the Shell were turned off, a long time passed before Miss Shell's poignant voice finally echoed in the empty center.
"A monster, a real monster!"
At this moment, the monster was standing on the surface of the Earth's core. The red light on its body was almost suppressed by the SS-level beast tide, as if it would be broken at any moment.
Her long hair was flowing freely, making her look like a demon god.
His eyes were so bright they were almost blinding, which indicated that his bio-radiation field had been activated to its limit.
The senior engineer, now fully activated in "Beast God" mode, almost possessed two or three parts of the aura of the previous "Big Tree".
However, it takes a different path than the "Radiation Life Atlas Tree".
That big tree followed the path of "gathering the masses," which involved infusing the bloodlines of all the radiated beasts into one body, and through fusion, summoning the will of Gaia of this planet.
This is why it alarmed the three planetary mainframes.
This Gaiaian will should have been suppressed by the mother city.
With the birth of Gaia's will, it became difficult to synthesize 'cosmic relics'.
Just like a tiger cub, no matter how strong it is, it can still be easily killed by a small hunting dog when it is just born.
But the senior engineer was completely different.
He wasn't trying to summon Gaia's will by using the bloodline of the Radiation Beast, but rather using the high temperature and pressure of the Earth's core to melt away the Radiation Beast's bloodline for him.
In just over ten seconds, half of the more than 5 million types of radiated beast bloodlines in his body (given by the brain in the vat) were burned away.
Even low-level, or even B-level and A-level, radiated beast species cannot withstand this high temperature and pressure from the planet.
This operation also eliminated the possibility of the senior engineer becoming the "Lord of the Radiation Beasts".
It doesn't need millions of radiation beast bloodlines; it only needs the best radiation bloodline.
This bloodline should even be able to suppress "rejection".
The training method used by senior engineers is a training method that only those at least at the fifth-order super carbon-based powerhouse are qualified to choose, and it is called the Cosmic Training Method.
Its core is to enter a dangerous zone in the universe, and through this dangerous environment, absorb external influences and temper oneself.
That's how the famous name "carbon-based fusion" came about.
Super carbon-based warriors of the 7th and 8th tiers can even venture to the edge of a black hole to hone themselves through black hole radiation. When they reach the pinnacle of their training, they can even create small black holes on their own and perform inter-galaxy cluster-level teleportation.
