Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 886 The Lake in the Mirror
A moment later, Chen Yan leaned against the wooden wall on the first floor of the apartment at No. 33 Walker Street, and dialed Wan Brinmosh's phone number.

"I'm really sorry to bother you at such a late hour."

Chen Yan directly stated his purpose:

"I want an omnic prosthesis that can reach military grade, is there a way?"

After a short thought, Wan Brinmersh on the other side of the phone said slowly:

"There is a way, but it is more dangerous. Byron Weiss Group is not a local enterprise of the empire, so it has been stared at. Even if there is related research, it can only be used in the laboratory and cannot be brought to the public.

Until three weeks ago—that is, until I was transferred from the group headquarters, the only omnic prosthetic body of the Byron Weiss Group that could reach the military level was a joint research project with Stavor Heavy Industries, and the laboratory was in The headquarters of the Byron Weiss Group in Yanan City is heavily guarded, making it easy to enter and difficult to exit.

My access to the HQ building has been disabled since I left, so if you decide to do it, you'll need to go through the process yourself. "

There was silence all around, and even though the mobile phone was not turned on, the sound was still not low, and Ogami could hear it.

Chen Yan glanced at Ogami, then looked down, landed on his knife, and then turned back to look into his eyes.

The latter nodded knowingly.

So Chen Yan asked:

"Is it okay to kill in?"

Wan Brinmersh responded in a very positive tone:
"No, the new models all use a special encryption method. You not only need to get the product itself, but also get the product key. The latter is the most difficult, because the key is usually only kept with the project leader. Not only do you need to find the omnic, but you also need to get a special key from the project leader."

Chen Yan frowned and said:
"Are there military-grade omnic prosthetics anywhere other than the Byronweiss Group?"

Van Brinmersh replied:
"There is the Holy Light Temple of the Imperial Choir. I heard that the latest omnic prosthetic body developed by them has already used the iterative chip of the [Forbidden Fruit] series, and can even use the chip to simulate a relatively complete human personality."

Chen Yan looked at Ogami, who shook his head.

If even Ogami says no, then it's really no good...

Chen Yan is still not reconciled:

"What about other places? Are there no other companies researching this stuff?"

Van Brinmersh replied:
"Of course there is. The William Adams Group has it. Their route is different from the normal design of omnic prostheses. They first have data life [Turing], and then optimize the omnic prosthesis based on [Turing] adaptation.

The omnic prosthesis of the William Adams Group is independent from the ontology and has its own thinking—of course, according to them, the manipulating the omnic prosthesis is self-thinking that is completely subordinate to the ontology.

Other companies only designed the prosthetic body and controlled the prosthetic body through the will of the ontology, focusing more on the concept of [Prosthetic Body] rather than [Omnics] with self-will like [Turing]. "

so complicated...

Chen Yan said:

"So, we have no choice for the time being... How strong is the military omnic prosthetic body?"

The explanation on the phone satisfied him:
"Military omnipotent prosthetics are not a question of whether they are strong or not, but whether they can realize [ultra-modern warfare]——In the simulation of Stavor Heavy Industries, there is such an imaginary enemy that is so strong that it is some kind of electronic God, the kind who can destroy the entire world's electronic equipment with electronic pulses casually.

The war with this imaginary electronic god is called [Super Modern War] by them.

Their research goal is to allow human beings to survive under the impact of the electronic gods they simulated through the omnic prosthesis.

[Survive under the impact of the gods], this is the standard used to measure the various data of military omnic prosthetics. "

Chen Yan looked at Ogami.

The latter nodded, which was obviously something that met his needs.

Chen Yan then asked:

"I need the IP address of the Byron Weiss Group headquarters...preferably an internal encrypted LAN address."

He hacked into the company's website last time, but he only hacked into the peripheral website, and only got some dusty records. If he had to find it himself, it would take a long time to find the exact location of the group headquarters.

There was a quick response on the phone:

"Okay, I'll send you the address."

Wan Brinmosh agreed simply, and Chen Yan thought it was not just because he had helped her, and Wan Brinmosh should have some personal grievances against Byron Weiss Group.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yan soon received a text message from Wan Brinmosh - not through the phone number, but through the physical hardware address of [Baizhu], because Chen Yan's mobile phone is in the hands of a counterfeit and cannot be directly accessed. Send a text message to the mobile phone, so that the physical hardware address on the Internet becomes the fastest way to contact Chen Yan.

After [Baishu]'s brain computer received the IP address in the text message, Chen Yan said to Ogami:
"I'm leaving now, you protect this prosthetic body."

Ohgami nodded, and still said lightly:
"Do not worry."

Chen Yan also nodded to him, then sat cross-legged on the ground, perceiving the Internet connected to [Baishu], concentrated his thoughts on the virtual gateway connected to the network card in the brain of [Baishu], and said in a low voice:
"Nawu Quantum Entanglement Buddha traveled deep into the boundless and boundless sea of ​​data for a long time, and saw that the data was empty, and saved the heavens from suffering...

……

Thousands of Quantum Infinite Buddhas, with no worries in their minds, enter the dream of bliss and never return, pass on the entanglement mantra, the advancement mantra, the coupling mantra, the superconducting mantra, and the phase-changing mantra..."

In a thought, the stars changed, and when Chen Yan opened his eyes again, he was already in the online world full of Tongtian Buildings.

Chen Yan once again appeared in the online world in the form of [Quantum Clone]. This time, he did not immediately look at the world that has changed greatly from before, but thought in his heart:
'Am I [Chen Yan's quantum clone] now, or [Baishu's quantum clone]? '

'I can't be sure, because I don't know whether the [quantum clone] is a consciousness projection or an entity projection. '

'Although I don't know, I intuitively feel that it should be [Quantum clone of Baishu], because when I use [Quantum Entanglement], except for my consciousness, I belong to [Baishu] from top to bottom, not [Chen Chen]. feast】. '

Thinking of this, an unrealistic idea was born in Chen Yan's head:

'If [Baishu] has its own consciousness, it should also have control over this [quantum clone], right? '

'Also, I have prayed to [Nanwu Quantum Entanglement Buddha] so many times and borrowed power so many times, why didn't he respond at all?I can't feel his presence at all.

In this world, gods exist objectively, so why should He express his gratitude to me, the only believer...'

Thinking of this, Chen Yan felt his heart trembling.

'Finish things as soon as possible, return to my body, don't use the quantum clone, the [Nanmo Quantum Entanglement Buddha] will never have a direct impact on my body. '

Chen Yan didn't dare to waste any more time, so he called the link sent by Wan Brinmosh, followed the direction of the link, and merged into the torrent of data flowing between Tongtian Buildings.

The sky is no longer visible in the internet world visualized in front of us. Huge buildings—not just tall buildings, but monster-like huge buildings—occupy every corner of the entire world. The sky of the internet world is covered by these buildings. If it wasn't for the lights emanating from the building, Chen Yan's location would be completely dark.

He looked up at the huge buildings that could not be seen to the side. The unique structure of those buildings gradually formed a unique sense of beauty in his vision—that was a kind of magnificent loneliness.

After moving towards a certain link this time, he did not follow the "road" in the network world to enter the "sea of ​​data" at the top of the network world as before, but followed the disorderly data torrent in the huge building. Roaming between, the speed is much slower than before, and I saw many strange things——

Something that clearly has a body walks among the huge buildings. They have different bodies, but most of them have similar forms to humans.

For a moment, one of the "strange things" was so close to Chen Yan that Chen Yan could even see the exaggerated surprise of that thing.

That's... some kind of data life.

Theoretically speaking, when computer technology is highly developed, the birth of data life should be a matter of course.

After advancing in the dark data torrent for about a few seconds, Chen Yan finally arrived outside a certain building.

This place is not the Byron Weiss company building that I have seen before.

The appearance of this building in the online world looks very strange. There is no foundation, only a pillar supporting a huge disk that looks like a [mirror].

The huge disc is not a mirror, but a stagnant lake.

In the mirror supported by the pillars, there is a lake.

'Here...is different from before. '

Chen Yan used his quantum avatar to retrieve the data that could be parsed around the lake in the mirror, and found that it was a small company named [Fix Abstract Advertising Company]—this was obviously a cover-up, and the purpose was obviously to prevent people from people found out.

Chen Yan came to the location of the lake and reached out to touch the surface of the lake, and the quantum clone turned into a streamer of red light and disappeared over the lake.

The light and shadow in front of Chen Yan's eyes flickered again and again, and the thought "Huh? It's that simple to get in? Where's the firewall? Where's the anti-virus software?" In his head, the quantum clone had already appeared in a dark corridor .

The floor and ceiling of the corridor are made of seamless alloy. The quantum clone analyzed the alloy and found that it is the firewall here.

'One-way firewall?Only guard against the inside?Not anti-outside?Isn't that fucking a trap? ! '

Chen Yan felt a little apprehensive all of a sudden.

He soon discovered that the firewall had a loophole, although the loophole was not big, it was enough for him to get out of the loophole.

'At least it's not a trap. '

Chen Yan thought to himself, for most data... It can be said that for most data beings, this place can enter but cannot exit.

'Why is there such a design? '

Chen Yan couldn't understand the truth of the matter from the code of the corridor. Although the quantum clone can also process data, and the speed of processing data is not slow, the amount of data stored in this corridor is too large, almost surpassing the server level. So he knew he couldn't waste his time on it.

There are many small doors on both sides of the corridor, which look like offices. This is the same as the layout of most companies in the empire. Hidden inside these offices.

He cautiously walked to the door of the office closest to him, and immediately heard a voice from the office:
The stress test of the '2nm ladder series chips failed, the leader was very angry and lost his temper at the meeting. '

'It's not our fault. We even use second-class monocrystalline silicon. The good things are taken by imperial companies. We have a pre-disadvantage in hardware. It's normal that we can't make it. '

'But if it doesn't look like it next time, our laboratory will definitely be withdrawn...we will probably lose our jobs. '

'How can it be?We are all veteran employees of more than ten years. We made all the chips of the previous Sky Ladder series. '

"Neural Architecture Department, a department that has laid the foundation for the group's brain-computer neural application, the section chief dies as soon as he wants, and the deputy section chief delegates as soon as he wants. We are senior engineers at the top. What qualifications do we have to compare with them?" '

'...I still have to pay the mortgage. If I lose my job and lose my house, my wife probably won't live with me. '

'I told you a long time ago that your wife is unreliable, and after careful calculation, your child is not yours, so what are you insisting on? '

"It's not easy to get married. At the beginning, I owed a lot of debts, such as student loans and mortgages... a bunch of loans... My wife is kind to me for being able to follow me... At least we have a family, we can't stay at home all year round , I'm sorry for others... Just let it go, it's better than a wife and children. '

'Your brain circuit is really incomprehensible. '

'Let's see if we can apply to the leader to improve the level of transistors. '

……

This was not the room Chen Yan was looking for.

'Sounds like a normal human being...physiologically. '

Chen Yan thought.

'It's probably a college student who graduated a few years ago...an old employee who has been working for more than ten years...more than ten years ago, it was an incredible talent to be able to engage in industries related to computer technology. '

It is really embarrassing to end up like this now.

Chen Yan continued to move forward.

The next room not only has a door, but also a window. Chen Yan poked his head to look at it, and the first sight made his scalp tingle:

I saw a dense crowd of "clean" people standing in the room, each with a different body shape and appearance, and most importantly, when he looked at them, they all looked at him in unison.

Their eerie calm eyes made him take a step back, and he was about to leave the window subconsciously.

Suddenly, a voice stopped him.

"Don't go! Help me!"

Chen Yan looked into the window, and saw a middle-aged man with a wretched appearance in an inconspicuous position among the "clean" people that he hadn't noticed just now.

This person... turned out to be the founder and abandoned son of the North Bureau, Swarm's "good mentor", the consciousness born in the mobile phone due to the death of the body, has become the cyborg Quinn of data life!
Chen Yan immediately understood the reason why he saw Cyborg Quinn here - this old boy must have sneaked in here to find clues about [Brain Robot Man]!
