Any machine controlled by intelligence can be hacked using virtual technology to tamper with its data, gain operational privileges, and seize control of the machine; spaceships are no exception.
The difficulty of intrusion depends on the target machine's intelligence level. After a successful intrusion, the machine will be continuously blocked by the enemy's intelligence. Permissions must be re-verified periodically, and only after passing the verification can operational permissions be retained. The level of operational permissions can be basically understood as the number of functions unlocked...
Once the first intrusion is completed and the target's AI data is obtained, the difficulty of the next intrusion will be reduced. Therefore, in the civil war, virtual mechanics are hated by everyone. Every mechanic who is infected feels like his wife has turned into someone else's shape, and he is so jealous that he is heartbroken.
The Virtual Mechanic's abilities are well-suited for space warfare; among the five super-powered systems, the Virtual Mechanic is the most efficient class for dealing with fleets.
The spaceship's intelligent firewall is very strong, and with Han Xiao's current level, the success rate of intrusion is not high. However, his own auxiliary intelligence will comprehensively improve the success rate and intrusion speed. Resta is an AI life form with an extremely fast computing speed, which will at least increase the judgment probability by 30% to 40%.
On the battlefield, Han Xiao seized an assault ship, first firing at it to cripple it, then maneuvering it to ram into its surrounding comrades, disrupting the enemy's formation.
The DarkStar Commando was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. They had initially thought the Blacklight Stealth couldn't break through their defenses, so they had ignored them. However, they hadn't expected the enemy to be able to breach the intelligent firewall and infiltrate the spaceship. They could no longer stand idly by.
The commando team split into ten ships to engage the Blacklight Stealth, while the remaining ships fired at the ground while spreading out into formation.
The enemy's reaction was exactly what Han Xiao wanted. By reducing the enemy's firepower on the surface, he could buy more time. The Blacklight Stealth were highly equipped, and speed was their greatest advantage. Jinda was an excellent pilot, constantly dodging the crisscrossing green lights.
Boom boom boom--
In the sky, a pitch-black spaceship darted left and right, nimbly tumbling and flying, surrounded by ten assault ships.
"Only by boarding the ship can we quickly eliminate these enemies. Everyone except those piloting the spaceship, go to the different hatches and wait to be deployed!"
Han Xiao gave a loud order and immediately deployed the Void Dragon Mechanical Suit, connecting the mech's built-in system to the Blacklight Stealth. Glimmer flashed on the arm armor, and the virtual intrusion interface appeared, forming a virtual projection above the arm. This way, he could operate the virtual intrusion without being on the spaceship. He, like the others, came to the hatch.
He himself was also a formidable fighter, so Han Xiao naturally made the best use of him.
"The enemy has thirty ships. It's too late to infiltrate them one by one; we have to use destructive methods." Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and the data he entered changed accordingly.
Virtual technology intrusion takes many forms. Seizing control is a robbery and takes the longest time. Other methods include tampering with enemy data to conceal or mislead, often used for stealth infiltration. The most destructive form is implanting viruses or filling in large amounts of redundant data to damage the target machine's intelligence, temporarily paralyzing most of its functions. This method is the fastest, equivalent to a direct punch.
The most direct way to destroy intelligence is to pit one's own intelligence against the enemy's. At Resta's level, the intelligence of these DarkStar assault ships is no better than that of a child. They are tool-type AIs that haven't even developed independent thinking yet, and Risda can easily tear them apart.
If seizing control is like stealing someone's wife, then destroying the AI is like ruining that wife.
At the data flow level, Resta is like a star, shooting out scorching torrents. The assault ship's intelligent firewall is like a shield at the data level, constantly blasting open large holes, leaving the intelligent structure inside riddled with holes.
The results of the data battle were immediately fed back into the material world.
Buzzing--
With a series of loud bangs, the engines of the four assault ships suddenly shut down, and they tumbled downwards, their shields flashing and disappearing.
The AI controlling the entire spaceship experienced a brief malfunction, rendering it unusable. The pilot panicked and could only try to switch to manual mode repeatedly during the descent. However, there was ample time to switch to manual mode before the spaceship crashed into the ground.
However, at that moment, the Blacklight Stealth swooped down, its laser cannons locking onto the four assault ships and firing. Bang! Bang! Bang! The laser cannons blasted holes in the outer armor of the four enemy ships.
Meanwhile, taking advantage of their absolute speed, the Blacklight Stealth swept past the four out-of-control enemy ships. The mercenaries waiting at the drop hatches jumped out one after another, their grappling hooks hitting the gaps in the armor. The cables quickly retracted, pulling the mercenaries into the enemy ships one by one.
Although the DarkStar Assault Ship has lost its shields, its armor still offers some protection. Laser cannons won't easily destroy the enemy ship. The best option to quickly eliminate the enemy ship is to destroy it from the inside.
Moreover, once you break into the enemy ship, you can not only destroy the enemy, but also seize the spaceship by force!
Boom boom boom--
The advancing mercenaries wreaked havoc inside, with the hulls of the four enemy ships constantly exploding in flames. The DarkStar Guards inside were completely unable to stop them, and the command center was wiped out.
The mercenary quickly took over the spaceship. Since the assault ship's AI had been rendered useless by Resta, it was unable to verify the pilot's permissions, so the mercenary switched to manual mode and took control of the assault ship.
In an instant, Han Xiao's side gained four more warships, greatly expanding their force. The four ships opened fire on the other DarkStar assault ships.
Meanwhile, the other six assault ships besieging the Blacklight Stealth were also disabled, and mercenaries rushed in and wreaked havoc, including Han Xiao.
Snap!
Flying into the blazing armor gap, Han Xiao landed in the ship's passageway. The mechanical wing thrusters behind him folded and retracted, and a bunch of compressed balls popped out from his wrist. They transformed into dozens of leopard-shaped mechanical beasts and two Oathkeeper, firing in all directions.
Thump thump thump--
Lasers shot out in all directions, explosions followed one after another, and thick smoke quickly billowed from the interior of the assault ship. The bulkheads were torn to shreds, and through these gaps, the mechanical warriors advanced towards other areas of the ship, beginning to clear out the DarkStar Guardians.
Han Xiao clapped his fists together, and two giant mechanical hands unfolded beside him. He swung his fists and smashed everything in his path, smashing through all obstacles in his way. Bent metal littered the ground wherever he went.
He headed straight for the spacecraft's control room.
Dozens of spaceship guards rushed to the scene and blocked Han Xiao's path. A DarkStar warrior who appeared to be a squad leader shouted, "Stop him! Don't..."
Before he could finish speaking, Han Xiao casually waved his hand, and the mechanical hand slapped out, extinguishing the surrounding flames under the wind pressure. Before the squad leader could react, his vision was filled by the rapidly enlarging metal hand.
Bang!
With a deafening roar, the giant mechanical hand slammed the squad leader against the wall of the passageway, causing the wall to cave in!
The hand was moved away, revealing only a strangely shaped meat pie in the crater, with blood splattered everywhere. This Grade C DarkStar Warrior was instantly killed with a single palm strike, easier than swatting a fly.
These assault ships contain at most Grade C guards; it's virtually impossible for them to contain Grade B elite DarkStar warriors.
The remaining guards were shocked. Before they could take any action, Han Xiao clasped his hands together, and the two giant mechanical hands, with their five fingers joined together, quickly merged into a giant drill, which began to spin at high speed.
Waaaaah--
The drill bit created a whooshing sound!
The next moment, two giant mechanical drills swept across, unstoppable. Deafening screams filled the air, and in less than three seconds, all the guards blocking the way were shredded to pieces, their brains and livers scattered everywhere.
Blood was everywhere, as gruesome as a slaughterhouse. Han Xiao was already used to such scenes, and continued forward without changing his expression, showing no mercy. He instantly killed all the enemies who blocked his way.
There were no survivors on the ship. Amidst explosions and screams, Han Xiao, driving his unparalleled speeder, fought his way to the command center. Behind him was a hole that had pierced through several layers of buildings.
The whole thing took less than a minute, as if it were a deserted place!
In a flash, Han Xiao destroyed everything that could breathe in the command room. He went to the control panel, took control of the assault ship, and immediately launched a rapid ascent towards an enemy ship in the sky. At the same time, he multitasked, conducting a virtual intrusion at a dazzling speed.
To save time, he had no intention of returning to the Blacklight Stealth; instead, he directly piloted the stolen assault ship into the enemy.
The mechanical warriors, having eliminated all the survivors on the spaceship, quickly arrived at the command room, transformed back into compressed spheres, and automatically returned to Han Xiao's hand.
Taking advantage of the brief moment, Han Xiao glanced at the task list on the panel.
[Alliance of Goddora] is a main questline focused on attacking DarkStar. Several of its components involve destroying DarkStar ships, such as the [Fleet Killer] and [Head-On Engagement] quests, which offer extremely high rewards. The easiest of these is [Assault Ship Destroyer], which only requires destroying 5 DarkStar assault ships and rewards 6.3 million experience points and 300 Goddora favor.
A thought suddenly popped into my head.
"By the way, this quest was supposed to be part of the players' main storyline, but since they haven't joined Goddora, it probably won't trigger..."
Han Xiao's lips twitched, and he quickly pulled his attention away from the picture book. Seriously, if you're going to fight, just focus on fighting. Stop thinking about these trivial things that are hurting the players. I almost felt guilty, you bastard.
He accelerated toward another enemy ship, rapidly closing the distance. The enemy ship's hull grew larger in his field of vision, and the patterns on its external armor became clearly visible.
Boom!
The two ships collided with a deafening roar, the bow of one ship piercing the hull of the other, sending metal fragments flying everywhere!
Han Xiao piloted his spaceship and opened fire at close range, blasting open several breaches. He then smashed through the bulkhead on his side and flew out, entering the enemy ship and unleashing another one-sided massacre.
One after another, the DarkStar assault ships fell into disarray. Some plummeted to the ground, some were captured by mercenaries and used to fire at the enemy, and some were blown to pieces in mid-air. The Black Star Mercenary Group quickly gained control of the situation and began to besiege the remaining DarkStar assault ships.
Meanwhile, the Six Nations and the Sanctuary were watching the satellite images, and seeing the Black Star display its might, they couldn't help but feel excited and pleasantly surprised.
This feeling of security... is as if Black Star is the Protector of this planet!
